God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

If the other party had bargained twice, Bankim would not have had such an idea, but the other party did not bargain at all and agreed directly. Who would believe that there was no calculation?
"Don't worry, although I exaggerated the harmfulness of some things, it is undeniable that there are indeed unusual movements in the north, and these movements are not small. You may really have some ideas, so you just need to pay attention. It is unlikely that you can win if you are prepared in advance, but it is still quite difficult to completely lose by relying on defense..." Zhu Helai originally wanted to say that the Brahmins in the south would never lose, but thinking of the recent battle record, he spoke in a lower voice.

Bankim, who understood the tone and intonation, naturally knew what was going on.

They lost too much in the war, and they lost too quickly, so that Zhu Helai, who originally had a lot of confidence, did not feel very confident under such circumstances.

If one wants to balance the various forces in the court and, under such circumstances, strengthen the power of the royal family as much as possible, there are actually not many options available.

It is actually quite difficult to become stronger, but it is very simple to become weaker, and there are many ways to do it.

When the North is strong, we will directly use strategies to weaken the North's strength until it is about the same as the South. When the South is strong, we will weaken the South's power and let the North stand up again.

It can be said that no matter whether it is the North or the South, if either side becomes weak, the first method Zhu Helai thinks of is definitely not to make the weak stronger, but to make the strong weaker.

Weakening others is equivalent to strengthening yourself in disguise, and the means of weakening can be faster and more effective than the means of strengthening.

Under the premise that the central government is the main force in essence, the result is self-evident. Both the North and the South have been weakened many times.

Of course, comparing the two, the North has been weakened more times, much more times than the South, so that the northern nobles, who have always been stubborn and believe that the North is the orthodox, have noticed that something is wrong and have begun to strengthen their vigilance and make secret plans.

It can be said that with the political control over such a large area and the degree of balance between the various forces, if Vasudeva I had lived a few more years, he might have been able to achieve success.

When the power of the royal family is sufficient to crush the north and the south, Vasudeva I will become a respected Khan like the nomadic people.

Such identity and status, as well as the corresponding power, never come from the gifts and charity of others, but from the power in your hands.

It can be said that in the absence of external influence, there is actually nothing wrong with the strategic policy and balancing measures formulated by Zhu Helai.

However, when external enemies appear, this policy and strategic planning will have huge problems.

Whether it is weakening the North or the South, it is all about reducing the country's combat effectiveness. When the combat effectiveness of one's own country is lost, other countries may not be affected. The resulting combat effectiveness gap makes Zhu Helai doubt whether he had done something wrong in the past.

However, wise men like Zhu Helai are ultimately extremely determined and can better understand the essence of many things. They also know that such a large casualty ratio is unlikely to occur under normal war circumstances. The more likely possibility is that it is a problem of the influence of their own policies.

Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand, and every seemingly bright future comes with a price.

Even if the result is failure, in Zhu He's view, it is not all bad.

When a country faces a powerful external enemy, it is also the time to unite all domestic forces and forge ahead. As for whether it is possible to unite the two groups that were once hostile to each other and work together to fight against the Han army while defending the country, it should not be a big problem.

When faced with a life-and-death situation, I believe that most people would be able to put aside their past grudges and work hard to survive.

It is impossible that the dreams of most people will override the instinctive need to live.

The will of an individual can transcend life and death, and can also go beyond the normal choices of human beings. Zhu Helai doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, but it is a different story for the collective.

With this kind of thinking, Zhu Helai was full of confidence and pride in his negotiations and communications with Bankim. He believed in his own wisdom and his own plans.

It was just an accident with the Han army. How could this be called a problem? This was not a problem at all!
As a wise man, how could he not have a way to deal with unexpected events? Although the accident was indeed a bit big, wasn't this the time to demonstrate his ability?

And it was precisely because of this accident that in a situation where the North was strong and the South was weak, Zhu Helai, who should have weakened the North, did not choose to weaken the North, but instead chose the relatively difficult option of strengthening the South, even though this choice was a disguised weakening of the power of the royal family, which was an unacceptable result.

Bankim, who was able to see through this kind of thoughts, was actually unsure in his heart and even a little hesitant.

Are the emotions that he can perceive from the other person really the emotions that the other person truly desires in his heart?

Dominating the north and swaying the south, like operating a chess piece, will Zhu Helai, who is above the chessboard, really expose his inner emotions in front of him?
Bankim didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to gamble. Under the current situation, he could only accept Zhu Helai's good intentions.

Whether he agrees or not, the other party's good luck will probably not be late, but the price he will pay by then will probably be greater than it is now.

However, underestimating any opponent too much will also cause the strong to fall to the ground completely...

Then Zhu Helai and Bankim looked at each other and smiled slightly, but their smiles did not reveal any sincerity.

Both sides have talked about the people in the north, but neither of them took the Beigui people to heart. The reason is very simple, because the smart people among the Beigui people are basically no longer in Beigui.

The Northern nobles, who only have military strength but no intelligence, are considered to be of limited ability in the eyes of these wise men.

Zhu Helai, who had already crushed the people in the north in terms of wisdom, did not overestimate the people in the north.

He never imagined that the people in the north had fallen into a completely different state at this time.

"Get down right there! What qualifications do you have to participate in this kind of thing? I was the first one to come here, and everything should be based on first come first served, okay?" Kabeqi slapped the table in front of him and shouted recklessly in front of many regional commanders... (End of this chapter)
