Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Dayan, inside the Golden Palace.

"Master Shen, I have agreed to your request, so can you explain to me the affairs of the Three Kingdoms?" the emperor joked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is kind and generous, how can I not do my best for Your Majesty?" Shen Muke said with a smile: "I just don't know which one you want to hear first, Your Majesty?"

"Master Shen, let's list them in order from north to south."

"So, let's talk about the Eastern Kingdom first." Shen Muke walked up to the steps and said eloquently:

"Although the Eastern Kingdom often harbors double-minded intentions, there are no signs of counterattack. If Dayan raises an unknown master for unwarranted reasons, he may be criticized by the world. What's more, Dayan is known for his benevolence and righteousness.

How can one do barbaric things if he governs the country with morality, loyalty, courage and fearlessness?Therefore, I thought that against the Eastern Kingdom, not a single soldier should be used. "

Shen Muke looked at the emperor and reminded: "Besides, there are many marriages between Dayan and Dongguo. I think there should be concubines from Dongguo in your majesty's harem, right?"

"Master Shen is right. My brother and I are related by marriage to the Eastern Kingdom, especially my sister-in-law, who is the princess of the Eastern Kingdom... Lord Shen, since I cannot use force, how should I deal with it?"

"Although Your Majesty cannot use force, you can use weapons..."

"What does this mean?"

"I heard that since the beginning of last year, a melee between the north and the south broke out in Dongguo?"

Taifu blinked. Based on his experience, he felt that Shen Muke would probably make a damaging move next.

"The Eastern Kingdom has indeed entered into a struggle for power, but I don't know what it has to do with Dayan?"

"Your Majesty, you know that the two sides are fighting, and the outcome is uncertain. At this time, the kindness of giving someone help in the snow is the most touching!"

The emperor's eyes widened and he said, "Master Shen is saying..."

"That's right, Your Majesty. A united Eastern Kingdom will threaten Great Yan, but a divided Eastern Kingdom will not."

"The strategy that Your Majesty I have in mind is to split the alliance!"

Shen Muke walked up the long steps, picked up the map, and traced the East Kingdom with his finger, dividing it into two parts, north and south.

"Your Majesty, the north and south of the Eastern Kingdom are enemies of each other. If they fight, one of them will be injured!"

"But Great Yan's opportunity is now!"

"I heard that the southern faction of the Eastern Kingdom is at a disadvantage at this time. Your Majesty can secretly make friends with them and secretly sell them weapons and food at a low price to help them achieve their goals!"

"With this help, the south's morale will be high, so the north of the Eastern Kingdom will be defeated one after another."

"And when the North is defeated, His Majesty can find another confidant to make friends with the North, and then sell them weapons and food at a low price, so that they can return to attack the South and turn defeat into victory!"

"Your Majesty only needs to sit in the golden palace and use small profits to disrupt the world of the Eastern Kingdom, leading to a stalemate between the north and the south!"

"Your Majesty should also take this opportunity to sympathize with its people. He can send people to lobby various places to say that the country is stable and the country is prosperous and the people are strong. This will make his people willing to come to Dayan to avoid disaster. In this way, the Eastern Kingdom will be prosperous. The foundation is shaken, but Great Yan can gain tens of thousands of people!"

"The civilization of Great Yan is open to all rivers and is inclusive. If we act in this way, within 200 years, these Dongguo people who have left their homes will become people of Great Yan, and Dongguo will also be exhausted due to the confrontation between the north and the south!"

"In this way, your majesty can cut off the country in half without sending a single soldier, causing its people to lose their hearts and fall."

"When the power of the masters of the north and south of the Eastern Kingdom is exhausted, if Great Yan wants to annex its territory, it will be logical and follow the will of God."

What a ruthless strategy!

The old man stroked his beard. He had known for a long time that Shen Muke had amazing talents in governing the country, but he didn't expect that this person also made achievements in the art of strategizing?

Fortunately, Dayan and Shen Muke were on good terms with each other. Otherwise, if Shen Muke had used such a trick to plot against Dayan...

The emperor didn't think much at this moment. He was only shocked and happy at this moment. What a perfect plan!It's more of a conspiracy than a trick!

There is a melee between the north and the south of the Eastern Kingdom, and it is impossible to refuse Dayan's "gift". Therefore, the Eastern Kingdom is in danger!

"Okay, what a great way to split a company and conquer a country without using any troops? What a great idea, I'm very satisfied!"

Shen Muke then nodded humbly, indicating that he was keeping a low profile.

The Taifu sighed. It seems that he has to work overtime again recently. After all, the emperor is usually vigorous and resolute. I guess he will summon the ministers to discuss the matter tomorrow, right?

"Master Shen, I am very happy to help my Dayan get rid of a serious problem! Come, come, come, please drink this cup!"

The emperor personally toasted, and Shen Muke also smiled and raised his glass in return. At the same time, he opened the box and took out a can of Letania beer and filled it up for the emperor.

The emperor seems to like this kind of fizzy drink. It seems that the backlog of goods in Leitania has been dumped somewhere.

Putting down the wine glass, the emperor said again: "Master Shen, I know about the affairs of the Eastern Kingdom, but I don't know how Ursus and Kazdaele are going to act?"

"I will explain to your majesty how to deal with Ursus."

"In my opinion, the day when Ursus will be subjugated is already around the corner! It will be decades later!"

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Usus has a vast territory and abundant soldiers and food. How can we say that the country is about to be destroyed?"

"The way to death for Ursus lies not in war, food, land, technology, but in people's hearts."

Shen Muke cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what does war have to do with the people of the country?"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "The country values ​​the people and the people, and weapons are the weapons to protect the country."

Shen Muke nodded and said, "However, the carnivores of Ursus don't understand this truth."

"I have fought against the giant beast of Ursus, the Immortal Black Snake, several times. I know very well that its nature is violent and greedy, and it has the ambition to swallow up the world, but it has no understanding of the delicateness of the people's hearts. Although it has thousands of years of strategy, it is actually a single man. People's thieves only know the sharpness of weapons, but they don't know the vastness of human hearts!"

"And many of the noble generals in Ursus are people like this. They have no sympathy for the infected, the poor, and those who lack food and clothing. Instead, they often exploit them. Ursus has such a ruthless attitude towards the top, so why not worry about it? Subjugate his country?"

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "As the world often says, Wu

Sars dominates the north, and only the frozen soil that has not melted for thousands of years can compete with its longevity... Oh, from what I can see, the Ursus right now is nothing more than a withered bone in a grave.Sooner or later, they will lose all their ancestral wealth, the mountains and rivers will be in turmoil, and finally, they will follow in the footsteps of the former Gaul! "

The emperor nodded repeatedly and said: "Then in the opinion of Lord Shen, I just need to wait for Ursus to self-destruct, and that will be fine?"

"That's...not true." Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Usas is a country with a profound foundation after all. If we wait for it to destroy itself, wouldn't it mean that we have to wait until the year of the monkey? Therefore, Your Majesty must not do nothing!"

"Then what Lord Shen means is..."

"The plan devised by His Majesty Yu is to make friends at a distance and attack at home!"

"Usus was so violent that his atrocities were outraged by everyone, so much so that he had old grudges with the surrounding countries."

"Therefore, Your Majesty can make good friends with his enemies and join forces with all parties to erode their vitality and disrupt their territory! The countries do not need to send out large-scale troops or join forces for conquest. They only need to attack the east and west and wait for work!"

The emperor nodded and said anxiously: "But I have no way to communicate with the Western countries!"

Shen Muke smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Yu Bucai has contacts with Casimir and Victoria. As the leader of Letania, Yu can be connected with these two countries. With the Great Flame, the four countries are connected, even if In the past, Gaul was no match for the alliance of the four kingdoms. How can a mere Ursus resist the power of the four kingdoms?"

"The remaining four countries all sent soldiers to disturb the borders of Ursus, but they did not confront them head-on, but only harassed them. This will make Ursus exhausted and waste all its strength!"

"If this plan fails, there are still some protégés lurking in the Ursus Legion. Once something happens, Ursus' strength will be greatly reduced! In less than ten years, Ursus will no longer be able to threaten Great Yan. Already…”

"What a way to make friends from far away and attack at close range!" The Taifu nodded repeatedly. The old man seemed quite excited. He came closer to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen's plan is feasible. If the four countries get what they want and connect with each other, Ursus will be destroyed! "

"Master, I know this plan is feasible, but can you let go of my sleeves?"

"Ah?!" Taifu quickly let go and said repeatedly: "I am guilty, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The emperor waved his hand and thought, why do his ministers like to tug on his sleeves recently?Why don't you wear something with narrow sleeves later?

Chapter 54 Great Yan’s Friendliness

"If Your Majesty wants clothes with narrow sleeves, Letania can provide them for Your Majesty."

Shen Muke joked with a smile. He cast a spell and drew a set of Letania-style dress samples out of thin air, which was exactly what Black Key usually liked to wear.

Shen Muke said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please take a look at the sample of this dress. If Your Majesty likes this style of clothing, I can have the best tailor in the country customize it for Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "Since Lord Shen is willing to give me a gift, I will not be respectful. Later, I will ask the chamberlain to give my size sample to Lord Shen."

Shen Muke nodded happily and said: "Your Majesty, there is still one Kazdel left to solve the problem of the Three Kingdoms. I wonder if your Majesty, do you want to listen right away?"

"Of course, of course, clothes are a small matter, but national affairs are big! Lord Shen can tell me everything!"

Shen Muke nodded. He felt more and more that coming to Dayan was worth every penny.

"Your Majesty, according to Yu Zhi's opinion, among the three kingdoms, only Kazdel is the most unclear."

"What is ambiguity?"

"Does Your Majesty know that Terra in the past was only a country called Kazdare?"

"I do know this."

The emperor nodded, and it was clearly recorded in Dayan's history book that tens of thousands of years ago, the Terra continent was occupied by Tikaz, and it was Kazdaele. However, as time passed, Kazdaele was first destroyed by civil strife, and then was attacked by other countries. Although it was rebuilt three times later, the battle more than a hundred years ago almost completely destroyed Kazdaele's country. If it weren't for the two brothers and sisters Therese and Theresia, Kazdaele would almost disappear. in history.

"Your Majesty, the ambiguity of Kazdel lies with these brothers and sisters."

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Although Yu has never been to Kazdaele in person, Yu knows that these brothers and sisters are not as harmonious as they seem."

"Could it be that there is a power struggle?"

"No, these brothers and sisters are both ambitious and broad-minded people. They are not greedy for power."

"Then, why?"

Shen Muke shook his head and said helplessly: "What is more difficult to reconcile than the struggle for power is the struggle for ideas."

"Although these brothers and sisters both have the ideal of helping people in danger and rescuing those in distress, their temperaments and thinking are different."

"Trasis is iron-hearted, brave and fearless, but like many generals in the world today, he only knows the benefits of war, but does not know the kindness of mercy."

"And Theresa, this heroine has a lot of good ideas in mind, but she is too soft. Although she is a Black Crown orthodox, her ideals are incompatible with the Sakaz family."

Shen Muke sighed. Her Highness Theresia was one of the best idealists in Ark, but sometimes being too idealistic would only lead to a dead end.

It is impossible for the Sakaz people to lose their demon king. Similarly, it is impossible for the Sakaz people to abandon the hatred and killings of the past.

In the past thousand years, the Sakaz people have suffered too much. Just like the Sakaz soldier in the main plot said, this world

Every race in the world owes Sakaz, and every race has Sakaz's blood debt on its hands.

However, in Shen Muke's view, this is somewhat of a double standard.

Since the collapse of the previous civilization, the continent of Terra has been miserable for thousands of years, and it has only been miserable for Sakaz?Are you the only demon clan that has suffered?Do not make jokes!

Living on this land, who has never experienced the pain of being displaced and not having enough to eat?If we must settle accounts, ten thousand years ago, the Tikaz of Kazdare enslaved all living beings, and the Wendigo and Scavengers gnawed other races like sugar cane. How many lives were killed by such murderous races as the Blood Demons?

It's just you, Sakaz, who suffers, and you suffer when your country is subjugated. Do all other races owe it to you?If you only see the thief eating meat but not being beaten, that’s right.

Therefore, in Shen Muke's view, the saddest thing about the brother and sister Tracys and Theresia is that they are a brother and sister.

How wonderful it would be for one person to be in harmony with each other, each drawing on his own strengths, neither radical nor conservative, and walking the middle line. Wouldn't this be great?

However, in fact this is impossible, because if Shen Muke remembers correctly, Kazdel's current peace will not last long.

It is already the autumn of 1077, and ten years later, in 1087, the Tower of Babel will be built, and Kazdaele will be completely plunged into the flames of civil war!

How to describe this civil war?Shen Muke thought about it again and again, but in the end it was just hasty.

It was indeed sloppy. The Kazdaele Military Council headed by Therese and the Tower of Babel headed by Theresia fought evenly in Kazdaele. However, at this critical moment, Her Royal Highness stretched her crotch!

The so-called chain only breaks at critical moments. This Valkyrie, who has been fighting for hundreds of years and is invincible on the battlefield, will die in an assassination. The most outrageous thing is that the person who formulated this assassination plan seems to be one of the souls of the Tower of Babel:

【doctor】

To be honest, Shen Muke is very curious about what kind of existence [Doctor] is. Everything about him is so mysterious, and he also has a very special background identity as a player. Therefore, in Shen Muke's view, even if one day this [Doctor] is now himself In front of him, Shen Muke would not be surprised at all if he told himself that the so-called time travel was all his own arrangement.

The relationship with the doctor is probably in the near future, but for now, Shen Muke still wants to do some work for Kazdel.

Shen Muke shook his head, threw away his distracting thoughts, and said, "All the problems in Kazdael are caused by these brothers and sisters, so for His Majesty the Holy Emperor, this is the starting point."

"Does Lord Shen mean for me to intervene and deal with Kazdel like I did with Dongguo?"

"No, no." Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Outstanding people like Theresia and Teresis are hundreds and thousands of times stronger than the people of the Eastern Kingdom. The method of splitting the alliance cannot be effective. .”

Whether they are the two brothers or the Ten Kings, they are all old antiques that have lived a long time. What kind of storms and waves have these old antiques never seen?The method of connecting horizontal lines can be used against the Eastern Kingdom, but for Sakaz who has the royal court alliance, it is impossible to work.

What?Are you saying that the Royal Covenant will be useless in 1087?Oh, if the coalition forces of various countries invade Kazdaele in 1087, look at the Sakaz regiment being ununited!

In the final analysis, no matter how problematic Sarkaz's line is, he is still very firm in dealing with the outside world. Therefore, for Dayan, using force to interfere with Kazdel will only lead to a dead end.

"However, His Majesty can bring a new possibility to Sakaz."

"What is possible?"

"The possibility of harmonious coexistence with other countries on the mainland."

Shen Muke said with a smile, in fact, in the final analysis, half of the reason why Your Highness Theresa is too idealistic is because the Sakaz race is not favored by other races on the mainland. Everyone only thinks that the Sakaz are bloodthirsty and cruel. , and because Sakaz and Originium Disease are always connected, so in a state of being unaccompanied, what other option is there for Sakaz except war?

"There is only one thing your Majesty needs to do, and that is to establish diplomatic relations with Kazdaele on an equal footing. There is no need to deliberately get close to each other. You just need to communicate frequently and exchange what you need. If possible, you can also sell some agricultural products."

"That's all?"

"That's all." Shen Muke spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Kazdel is miserable. He has no relatives and is ostracized. Although there are many warriors in Sarkaz, the Lords of the Royal Court are also super strong. But in some ways, no means no.”

Shen Muke cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty only needs to use these three methods, then the Great War and foreign troubles can be quelled, and the country will be stable!"
