Chapter 115 Forming Alliances
Chapter 119 Forming Alliances
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was biting.
In this somber atmosphere, Su Qin, along with Lang Fanyun and two others, embarked on the journey to the territories of various vassal kings.
His goal was clear—to form alliances and persuade the weaker vassal kings to join forces with the King of Lu to resist the powerful enemy.
Su Qin and his party first arrived at the city of the nearest vassal king.
On the city walls, soldiers patrolled back and forth, their torches illuminating their faces and every corner of the city.
Su Qin did not reveal his identity directly, but instead chose to set up camp in a secluded corner outside the city, preparing to enter the city the next day to persuade Su Qin.
As dawn broke, Su Qin tidied his clothes and led Lang Fanyun and the other two into the city.
He did not go directly to the palace, but instead first visited various parts of the city to understand the local conditions and the ruling style of the vassal king.
After some investigation, Su Qin gained a preliminary understanding of this vassal king—although he was not very powerful, he was an ambitious and aspiring monarch, but he lacked strong allies and sufficient strength.
Having gained a clear understanding of the situation, Su Qin decided to adopt a strategy of relocation.
He first visited several prominent figures in the city, through whom he conveyed a message to the vassal king: a strategist named Su Qin had come, willing to share the king's burdens and solve his problems.
These scholars were highly respected in the city, and their words naturally attracted the attention of the prince.
When Su Qin was summoned to the palace, he did not rush to state his views, but first discussed the general situation of the world with the vassal king.
He discussed everything from the struggles between feudal lords to the suffering of the common people, and from the expansion of powerful nations to the self-preservation of weak nations.
His words were full of wisdom and foresight, which made the vassal king look at him with new respect.
"Does Your Majesty know the current situation of the Great Yong Kingdom?"
"Powerful vassals bullied weaker vassals, princes fought each other, and the people were displaced."
"Although Your Majesty is determined to strengthen the country, you are troubled by the lack of allies and strength."
"I, Su Qin, am unworthy, but I am willing to offer Your Majesty a plan."
After chatting with the vassal king for a while, seeing that the time was right, Su Qin began to get down to business.
"Mr. Su, what good ideas do you have? Tell me quickly."
Upon hearing this, the prince perked up and hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty may form an alliance with several powerful vassal kings in the surrounding area to jointly resist those formidable opponents."
"In this way, we can enhance our own strength and prestige, and at the same time seek a stable living environment for the people."
Su Qin smiled slightly and slowly revealed his strategy of forming alliances and counter-alliances.
After listening, the prince pondered for a moment, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.
He worried that his strength was insufficient to resist the encroachment from other feudal lords, and that the other feudal lords would not respond to his call.
"Your Majesty need not worry. Su Qin is willing to personally travel to the other vassal kings to persuade them to join the alliance."
"As long as Your Majesty approves, this matter will surely succeed."
Su Qin saw his concerns and offered further persuasion.
"Mr. Su is truly a genius of our time!"
"Then I will await your good news in the city!"
After listening, the vassal king pondered for a long time, a resolute look flashing in his eyes. He stood up and bowed deeply to Su Qin.
In the days that followed, Su Qin began his persuasive journey.
He visited several other weaker vassal kings and persuaded them to join the alliance using the same method.
During his persuasion efforts, Su Qin, with his exceptional eloquence and profound knowledge, explained to the various vassal kings the necessity and feasibility of forming alliances.
He emphasized that the various vassal kings should unite to resist powerful enemies in order to protect their own interests and territorial security.
At the same time, he explained to the various vassal kings the advantages of the alliance strategy, namely, by uniting with other weaker countries to form a powerful alliance, thereby gaining an advantageous position in competition with powerful countries.
When persuading the various vassal kings, Su Qin employed different strategies.
For powerful and ambitious vassal kings, he emphasized the importance of alliances, reminded them of the threats posed by other powerful states, and promised to give them sufficient status and respect within the alliance.
For the weaker and less confident vassal kings, he emphasized the advantages of alliances, encouraging them to join the alliances to resist foreign enemies and improve their own strength and status.
In this situation, Su Qin's persuasion was remarkably successful.
He not only persuaded the various vassal kings to join the alliance, but also successfully coordinated the interests of all parties, enabling the alliance to develop steadily.
Through strategic alliances and counter-alliances, the power of the various vassal kings was effectively integrated, forming a powerful alliance.
Furthermore, during the persuasion process, Su Qin fully demonstrated his personal charm and wisdom.
He was adept at reading people and accurately grasping the psychology and needs of various vassal kings, thus formulating practical and feasible persuasion strategies.
At the same time, he also paid great attention to his words and expressions, and was able to move people's hearts with vivid and powerful language, so that the various vassal kings believed in his plans without a doubt.
Although he encountered many difficulties and challenges along the way, Su Qin eventually overcame them all with his wisdom and eloquence.
Through Su Qin's tireless efforts and skillful persuasion, the various vassal kings were finally moved by his strategy of forming alliances.
A defensive alliance led by King Lu gradually formed.
On this day, the sun shone brightly, the sky was cloudless, and the city of Luwang was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The banners of the various princes fluttered in the wind, representing their respective power and determination.
Among them was Shangguan Lie, the emperor from the Eastern Earth Star whom Su Ye had previously detected!
King Lu stood on the city tower, watching as teams from all directions arrived one after another.
Their clothing varied, some bright and eye-catching, others simple and elegant, but without exception, they all exuded a sense of majesty and imposing presence.
King Lu knew that although these vassal kings had fought amongst themselves before, they had all gathered here for a common goal: to form an alliance to resist a powerful foreign enemy.
Su Qin also stood beside King Lu. He wore a blue robe and appeared refined and composed.
"Your Majesty, now is the time for you to demonstrate your leadership. If you can simply raise your voice, these vassal kings will surely rise up in response."
His eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if everything was under his control. He softly said to the King of Lu beside him, "Haha, I am truly flattered that my brothers have come."
"It is truly remarkable that we can all gather here today."
"Thanks to Mr. Su's brilliant plan, we have this opportunity to form a defensive alliance."
"I know that we have had many disputes and misunderstandings in the past, but now we should put aside our past grievances and unite to fight against foreign enemies. Only in this way can we protect our territory and the peace of our people."
King Lu nodded, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly to the vassal kings below the city.
The princes showed no reaction after hearing this.
Now that they've brought people here, they naturally know what to do next.
They knew that King Lu was right; turmoil was brewing within the territory of Dayong.
At this moment, only by banding together can these weak vassal kings have the strength to contend with the powerful vassal states.
So they shouted in unison: "Let's forge an alliance! Let's fight together against the powerful enemy!"
The sound resounded through the sky, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
Upon hearing this, King Lu was deeply moved, knowing that the responsibility on his shoulders had become even heavier.
He turned to Su Qin and said, "Mr. Su, what should we do next?"
Su Qin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please do not be anxious. We have already taken the most difficult step."
"What we need to do next is to consolidate the alliance and strengthen cooperation."
"At the same time, we must strengthen our own capabilities and enhance our combat effectiveness, so that those enemies who dare to invade our territory will pay a heavy price!"
In the days that followed, Ashiro Castle became the center of the alliance of various feudal lords.
The various vassal kings sent envoys to discuss cooperation, sign alliances, and jointly formulate battle plans.
By exchanging intelligence, sharing resources, and coordinating actions, they have formed a powerful synergy.
Su Qin was not idle either; he traveled around lobbying to continuously expand the alliance's influence.
