Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao naturally heard the hidden meaning in Beitang He's words, and also understood that now everyone in Lingwu City is willing to sacrifice his interests to maintain a stable situation, even if it is superficial stability, to preserve their own Benefit.

Is this reasonable?

It's actually quite reasonable.

Although Meng Zhao is said to be a military general with a large army in hand, he can cover the sky with one hand in Lingwu City and use his power and fortune for himself.

But in essence, he is still a part of the many forces in Lingwu City. He has considerable influence and destructive power, but he can command the entire Lingwu City without a single order.

Dingtian is equivalent to the leader of a loose alliance, and does not even have the title of leader.

Currently, 50% of his prestige and momentum come from the fact that he directly controls an army of 60,000 Yangwu, 30% comes from his reputation as the Dragon King of Beimeng, and the other 20% is the intricate relationship with Lingwu. The influence of cooperation between the upper and lower parts of the city.

Under such a premise, when his interests conflict fiercely with the interests of Lingwu City, it is only natural for people to instinctively protect themselves.

After all, he has only been in the city for a short time, and his so-called foundation is still shallow. It is impossible to resist the will of all the forces in Lingwu City.

This is also the hidden danger caused by his sudden rise to the top without years of management, hard work, and special methods.

However, this is only the opposition between each other's positions, and does not involve the conflict of bitterness and hatred.

Everyone has other people's considerations and their own ideas. If they can't convince the other party, they can only look at their own skills and abilities.

Moreover, not everyone may have the same thoughts and will. There are multiple factions within a huge force, let alone these rabble-rousers in Lingwu City?

If another person had said what he had just said in front of Meng Zhao, Meng Zhao would have thrown a glass of wine over him without even shaking it off, making the other person wake up and realize what he was saying and who he was talking to.

It was a beautiful idea to ask him to swallow his anger and suffer the loss of being mute.

However, Beitang He was the prince of the county, with royal blood, and his status was extraordinary. We couldn't rashly start a fight with him. There might be something he could rely on in the future.

In addition, the two of them have been working together for a while, and they are quite fond of each other and have some personal relationships, so they want to change the topic and don't want to discuss the matter in depth.

However, Beitanghe didn't think so.

As a man who is well versed in political wisdom, of course he also knows that when there is a dispute over interests, every dollar has to be weighed. Meng Zhao cannot harm himself and enrich his father, cutting off the interests of the Meng family to fill the power of Lingwu City.

However, he also knew that if Lingwu City was good, it was actually good for Meng Zhao. If nothing happened to Yangwu Army, the biggest beneficiary would still be Meng Zhao, not anyone else, so he added,

"Brother Meng, it's not that I burned the harp and boiled the cranes, causing great harm to the scenery, but you really have to think carefully about what happened this time, and don't act out of impulse and do things that will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy.

When you and I discussed together last time, we both agreed that there should be no chaos in Lingwu City. The evil forces in the city were just a show of show to Beitang, and we could not really kill them on a large scale. Involve the force in our hands into the endless confrontation and fight with the evil path.

Now there are two parties from the outside, the Buyi League and the Pudu Sect, who are ready to make moves, especially the Pudu Sect. The attack on the county government office last time is probably a sign that there may be a war at any time.

Under this premise, if you put most of your energy into fighting the evil way, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss? "

Beitang He was only thinking about maintaining the stability of Lingwu City. After all, his family was placed in Lingwu City by the emperor to enjoy the blessings. If something happened in the city or even was destroyed, the Yanping County Prince's Mansion would suffer the most.

More importantly, he didn't want to see chaos happen. Stability was what he, and even most people in the dynasty, wanted.

The smile on Meng Zhao's face faded, he was silent for a moment, and said,

"Your Majesty, you should know very well what has happened to our Meng family these days.

The samurai under my sect reacted and sent killers and assassins to attack the property in my name, causing loss of profits. There were also many lives involved. This is not something I can just tolerate.

I, Meng Zhao, am a respectable person. If I don’t react at all when someone knocks on my door like this, wouldn’t I be ridiculed by everyone in the world?

Also, my people are all watching. If they are indifferent to the dead and have no reaction at all, how can they work for me in the future? "

This is also true. There is no action at all, and it is difficult for Meng Zhao to do it.

Beitanghe nodded and sighed,

"I understand everything you said, and I have thought of a way.

It’s still the same as before, Brother Meng, please select a few families from the current Lingwu City, and let me jointly guarantee them, saying that they killed you because of their attacks.

First, you can show your muscles to the outside world and show that your majesty cannot be violated.

Secondly, you can also swallow up the territories and industries of these companies to make up for your own losses a little.

In this way, everything is passable inside and out, what do you think? "

Meng Zhao's eyes brightened slightly, he swung the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Bei Tanghe, but he didn't expect him to be so dark.

From the perspective of an onlooker, is Bei Tanghe’s proposal feasible?

It is feasible, and for Meng Zhao, it is not only a good way to stop losses, but may even be an excellent opportunity to forge ahead.

Why do you say that?

First of all, Meng Zhao's identity and status now are no better than when he first came here. He is already one of the leading figures in Lingwu City, and his relationship with the big and small forces in the city has also made a qualitative breakthrough through several exchanges.

He really wants to continue to develop the power of the Meng family, but if he wants to do so, his own development is too slow and takes time. Only invasion and annexation are the fastest and best ways.

But because of his identity, status, and relationship with the forces in the city, this method was temporarily blocked. At least he had to be burdened by his reputation and could not do whatever he wanted.

He is the de facto boss of Lingwu City. If my younger brother has something to do, I can ask him for help. Is it okay for him to take the initiative to annex my younger brother?

This is why he had to go to Liangzhou to subdue the so-called rebels before, in order to open up the situation and give himself an extra layer of protection and choice.

But now, Beitang He used the Yanping County Prince's Palace and even some big forces to assure him that he could frame some forces, destroy them, and annex them, which was equivalent to giving him another chance to strengthen the Meng family.

The losses he had suffered in recent days were a drop in the bucket and temporary.

But once the industry and territory are conquered and the warriors are recruited, they can continue to produce, and they will definitely make a profit.

Moreover, in this way, he would not only be beaten without fighting back, nor would he suffer any loss in reputation.
