Titled Sword Immortal of Douluo

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he realized that although Su Qin was now a noble with a title and a viscount, after all, Su Qin had only just been awarded the title not long ago. Su Qin knew the history of the Tiandou Empire. Not much, this is a normal thing.

After all, those without titles are not qualified to know the history of the Tiandou Empire.

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and said: "Su Qin, you are now also a noble of the empire, and you are qualified to know this. I won't hide it from you. About thirty years ago, a feudal kingdom rebelled. At that time, They raised troops and launched an attack on Tiandou City.

The previous emperor was still in power at that time, and he sent his father, who was only in his twenties at the time, to lead his troops to attack. The two sides fought for more than three months on the plain a hundred miles east of Tiandou City. In the end, the Royal Knights led by my father forced an opening from the flank and killed the rebel leader on the spot.

The father personally cut off the head of the rebel leader and hung it in front of the opponent's capital for more than a month. The father's reputation spread throughout the continent. Some feudal states that had other ideas at the beginning also had to put aside their small calculations.

From then until now, there has never been a single rebellion in our Tiandou Empire. "

Su Qin nodded clearly when he heard this.

Su Qin originally thought those guys were really so 'loyal'!

Now it seems that the main reason is still not winning!

If they really win the battle, those vassal states probably don't want to have someone on their head, so they will naturally launch a resistance and become the supreme existence!

Su Qin smiled and asked: "Brother Xue, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"

Xue Qinghe looked at Su Qin and could roughly guess what Su Qin wanted to say, but he still smiled boldly and said: "Su Qin, it doesn't matter."

Su Qin nodded and said sincerely: "Brother Xue, the imperial power of the Tiandou Empire is seriously dispersed now. If you really want to unify the entire continent, then you can't keep any of those feudal states, and you won't even be able to have any more feudal states in the future."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Su Qin, I understand what you said. If you want to strengthen the imperial power, you must take back the powers that were originally released. And the first ones to bear the brunt are the feudal states.

My father has been doing this, but for so many years, it has basically had no effect.

The current Tiandou Empire has the Star Luo Empire eyeing it from the outside, and there are five vassal states, large and small, inside. These five vassal states are not strong individually, but once they unite, even the royal family can barely compete with them. It is not that simple to take back the powers that have been given away.

Unless they can conquer these five feudal states at the fastest speed. Otherwise, once war breaks out within the Tiandou Empire, the Star Luo Empire in the south will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

By then, the Xingluo Empire will inevitably lead its troops northward, and then our Tiandou Empire will really be unable to handle it. "

A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xue, you are right, but is there really no way to regain the imperial power without a large-scale war?"

"Oh? Su Qin, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Xue Qinghe looked at Su Qin's expression and was very curious. Does Su Qin have any good ideas? Xue Qinghe stopped picking up food and asked the doubts in his heart.

Su Qin smiled and nodded, stretched out three fingers and said calmly: "I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower. I wonder which strategy Brother Xue wants?"

Xue Qinghe had a surprised look on his face, and at the same time he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, had Su Qin been prepared for this?

In fact, Xue Qinghe also had his own ideas on how to take back the imperial power, but he only had one way to do it. And now Su Qin actually said that he had three strategies. How could this not surprise and puzzle him?

Xue Qinghe put down the chopsticks in his hand, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, staring closely into Su Qin's eyes, and asked curiously: "Su Qin, can you tell me your three strategies?"

Su Qin nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Now that I have said it, I naturally have to inform you, Brother Xue.

Let me start with the next step. As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king first. As long as the kings of those feudal states and their descendants are all solved, then naturally they can take over their territory without a large-scale war, and even their existing power. You can also use it for your own use.

My next strategy is very simple, which is to hold a grand banquet in Tiandou City and invite all those people over for a reason that cannot be refused. Then add a little sweat medicine or other poisons to their food, and use strong force to control them, or just kill them directly.

The reason why this strategy is a bad idea is because it is not an easy task to invite everyone on the other side.

As long as there is still a direct bloodline in the opponent's capital that can lead the overall situation, once those guys learn that the king has been killed, they will definitely launch a counterattack.

Of course, this is not impossible to solve. When those kings come to attend the meeting, just send some masters to forcibly attack their royal capitals and kill those who stay behind. However, there are still quite a few hidden dangers, and the Tiandou Empire may very well lose a large territory as a result. "

After Su Qin finished speaking, he paused slightly, giving Xue Qinghe some time to think.

Xue Qinghe listened to what Su Qin said and nodded thoughtfully.

Although the strategy mentioned by Su Qin can indeed regain the power of those kingdoms, there are still many hidden dangers.

Once the kings of those feudal kingdoms are alive and dead, and the direct bloodlines left behind are assassinated, those kingdoms will inevitably fall into chaos in a short period of time. Although the Tiandou Empire is well prepared and can quickly put down the rebellion, the hidden dangers still remain There are no small ones.

If the Star Luo Empire in the south takes the opportunity to launch a war at this time, the consequences will be disastrous, even if the war can eventually be quelled. The Tiandou Empire lost a large area of ​​territory, which was inevitable.

Therefore, this can only be regarded as a good or bad strategy.

Su Qin paused and continued: "Zhongce needs to use some external power. For example, using the power of Wuhun Palace.

If you want to use the power of Wuhun Palace, then it will be much easier to implement than the last resort, and you don't need to attract those people to the imperial capital. All he had to do was send a group of powerful soul masters to quietly sneak into the palaces of those people's royal capitals, and then force the kings of those vassal states to completely return their power to Emperor Tiandou step by step.

In this way, there will be no confusion that may occur in the last resort. Of course, this lower strategy can be used in conjunction with the middle strategy. Using the two together will definitely be much better than using one strategy alone. "

After talking about this strategy, Su Qin also paused, giving Xue Qinghe some time to think.

Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed, and the look he looked at Su Qin became a little sharper. He stared at Su Qin closely for a while, and then looked away.

The plan Su Qin mentioned was exactly the plan that Xue Qinghe had thought of himself.

Xue Qinghe naturally knew that most of the imperial power of the Tiandou Empire was in the hands of those feudal states. Although those feudal states still listened to the emperor of the Tiandou Empire on the surface, they were probably the only ones who knew what they were thinking secretly. .

However, nine times out of ten it is not a good thing.

And Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, so he naturally had no psychological burden for using the power of Wuhun Palace.

There was just one thing that made him confused: why this plan was just a middle-of-the-road plan in Su Qin's mouth. Did Su Qin have any better plan?

Xue Qinghe asked curiously: "Then what is the best solution?"

Su Qin smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The best strategy I mentioned will take much longer than the first two. However, it can truly be taken back without any bloodshed. power in the hands of those feudal states.

Before I say that, I have a question for Brother Xue, who has the most people on the entire continent? "

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment. Do you still want to ask such a simple question?

Isn't this a no-brainer?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xue Qinghe did not show it. Without any hesitation, he said in an affirmative tone: "Civilian!"

Su Qin nodded and said: "Yes, there is no doubt that the largest number of people on the entire continent are civilians.

Although the soul masters on Douluo Continent are noble, their number has never exceeded five figures. And most of the soul masters are still low-level soul masters of one or two levels, and there are even fewer soul masters of three levels and above. Therefore, throughout the ages, large-scale wars have mainly relied on armies composed of ordinary people.

But, Brother Xue, have you ever thought about a question?

Even if those ordinary people win the battle, how much reward do they really get? Have ordinary people become nobles because they won great battles? "

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought about Su Qin's question carefully.

Indeed, as Su Qin said, the only real nobles in the entire Douluo Continent are those noble and powerful soul masters. Even among the ordinary armies, the generals are basically soul masters who have joined the empire and have soul power. Most of the ordinary people are just low-ranking officers or even ordinary soldiers.

In the true aristocratic circle, no ordinary person, even the lowest baron, is at least a soul master.

Of course, those down-and-out nobles are not included in this category. The reason why these down-and-out nobles are nobles is because their ancestor was a powerful soul master and made contributions to the Tiandou Empire, so they were awarded the title of nobility.

And Su Qin is talking about ordinary people who have no soul power.

Even if those ordinary people win the battle, they can only get some monetary rewards. Their status is always just ordinary civilians. At most, they only serve as officers in a low-level position in the army, but in the end they are still civilians.

Xue Qinghe thought this and was suddenly startled. When Su Qin said this, did he mean to...?

Su Qin noticed the change in Xue Qinghe's face and knew that Xue Qinghe had probably thought of the strategy he mentioned. He smiled slightly, nodded and said: "My best strategy, although it takes a long time, but if it can be completed smoothly, it can also help Brother Xue." You gather a mighty army.

Of course, there are two necessary conditions for starting this great strategy. The first is that Brother Xue needs you to officially ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. The second is that my subordinate Shadow Tower, this intelligence organization’s sphere of influence expands to the entire sky. Among most cities in Dou Empire.

However, the first point is the most important, and even if the second point is slower, it won't be a problem. This strategy mainly requires your cooperation, Brother Xue. "

The more Su Qin talked, the more the expression on Xue Qinghe's face changed.

Xue Qinghe had already roughly guessed what Su Qin's so-called best strategy was.

If Su Qin's plan is followed, it will not only affect the interests of those feudal states, but also affect the interests of other large nobles with territories, and they will inevitably suffer fierce counterattacks from those people!

As Su Qin spoke, he also paid attention to the change of expression on Xue Qinghe's face, but Su Qin did not stop, but continued: "I have said so much, I think Brother Xue must also know this plan of mine. That is to give those Ordinary civilians have the opportunity to climb up the ladder and are given certain rewards based on their military merits, including the conferment of knighthoods!

I also know how great the resistance is. Once this news is spread, it will inevitably encounter resistance from almost all the nobles, but to 'us', this is actually nothing, is it? "

Xue Qinghe's face was full of shock. Looking at Su Qin's confident look, Xue Qinghe couldn't think of how to answer Su Qin for a moment. He just looked at Su Qin with wide eyes and nodded slowly after a long while. .

Xue Qinghe naturally understood what Su Qin meant by 'us'. This meant not only the two of them, but also the Wuhun Palace behind them.

Although the best strategy and the middle strategy both require borrowing the power of Wuhun Palace, they are not the same.

The middle strategy is to use the power of Wuhun Palace to eliminate dissidents, but the best strategy is to send a few elder-level figures to secretly protect the safety of the two.

This best strategy is much better than the middle strategy.

Of course, it also takes more time.

Once the best strategy can be implemented smoothly, it will not only be able to slowly disintegrate the power of each feudal country, but also gather an army that is not afraid of death.

However, when the army gathers, a troublesome thing will follow.

So, what should we do with food and fodder for such a large army?

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, looked at Su Qin with squinted eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "This is indeed a good idea, but there is a very important problem that needs to be solved. The food and grass in the treasury cannot support much The army, what should we do with the food and fodder for those armies?"

Su Qin laughed and said: "Brother Xue, please be patient. I have naturally considered this for a long time. This is why I said that the second point is to spread the Shadow Tower all over the major cities. This step is to obtain the huge of food and grass.”

After a pause, Su Qin continued: "Although Shadow Tower is an intelligence organization, it also has another identity, that is, it is a veritable underground force. In the underground black market, Shadow Tower can definitely bring us a lot of money. With this money, we can naturally purchase food in the Tiandou Empire.

However, the Tiandou Empire's output is about the same every year, and there is probably a fixed amount of grain and grass circulating on the market.

Although the Shadow Tower can make a lot of money, if they keep buying food in the Tiandou Empire, it will inevitably drive up prices, which is not friendly to the lives of the people of the Tiandou Empire.

However, once we have money, we can naturally obtain food and grass from other channels. Since the Tiandou Empire cannot buy too much food and grass, we can spend money to buy it from the Star Luo Empire!

We can secretly purchase the food circulating on the market in the two countries and then hoard it as military supplies in the event of war.

By hoarding a large amount of food step by step like this, if the Star Luo Empire goes to war with us, then their food and grass will definitely not be as much as ours, even if their soldiers and horses are stronger than ours.

But at this time we should have integrated all the forces in the Tiandou Empire, and we are not far behind them. Even if ordinary people can be knighted through military merit, then the morale of our soldiers must be much higher than that of the Star Luo Empire.

Before the war begins, we can even directly switch sides and ask for help from Wuhun Palace. In this way, we will have an absolute advantage in terms of high-end combat power!

Even though our ordinary army is weaker, we have many soldiers and sufficient food and grass, and we are not afraid of being consumed by them!

So if this battle continues, we will definitely win! "
