A plan has been made to draw out the firepower, but the results of this plan will not be seen immediately in a short period of time.

After all, this plan is of a subversive nature and involves a process of brewing, preparation, and launch. Unlike war, it can be launched directly.

Zhou Ming estimated that at least half a year to a year would be the performance time for Wan Chengguo's elite intelligence personnel.

So, are Zhou Ming and the others watching from the sidelines?

Waiting for the good news to come?

of course not.

Zhou Ming also prepared another move.

Contrary to the underhanded tactics of secret subversion, this one was completely used in the open.

That is to launch a diplomatic offensive.

By sending eloquent diplomats to Guanglei Mountain, they persuaded them to join the Wancheng Kingdom... to avoid a major war between the two sides.

Diplomatic persuasion, this method, has the possibility of success?

Zhou Ming himself shook his head.

No, the probability of successful persuasion is basically 0.

Put yourself in another person's shoes, if you are the controller of Guanglei Mountain, and a group of people comes and asks you to join them, the main body of this group's political power is still in the mortal world, and their cultivation is generally weak. Although they have dozens of immortals, The number is less than half of Guanglei Mountain, but they require you to join them and be restrained by them to a certain extent... How is this possible?

It's impossible to even think about it with your butt.

Even those mortals have ultimate killer weapons like the "Lingyuan Battleship" in their hands.

But Zhou Ming still decided to use diplomatic methods...even if the probability of success was extremely low.

And intends to provide favorable conditions, promise a bright future, express Wanchengguo's intentions, and demonstrate Wanchengguo's muscles.

The general process is to "win over with generous benefits" and "invite the other party to make the cake bigger". If rejected, "tell the other party your intentions" and "show your muscles".

First soft and then hard, intimidation and inducement, a two-pronged approach.

During this process, there must be many hard-liners on Guanglei Mountain who do not accept this approach. These people will die in order to defend the interests of the sect and the dignity of the immortals.

But there will definitely be some rationalists who will gradually accept the Wancheng Kingdom's win over, their attitude will soften, and they will eventually see the reality clearly, their position will waver, and finally agree to join the Wancheng Kingdom.

Therefore, the main targets of Zhou Ming's diplomatic offensive are those rationalists who know how to advance and retreat and recognize the situation.

As long as the number of rationalists increases, the voice of reason becomes louder, and they gradually gain the upper hand and become the mainstream in Guanglei Mountain, there shouldn't be much of a problem in taking Guanglei Mountain relatively peacefully.

So we have to send a very good diplomat to Guanglei Mountain.

Who to send?

Yang Ze, the head of the diplomatic department, thought for a while and said: "Let Lidao go. This guy is smart and capable, and has accomplished many tasks well. His hometown is also in Guanglei Mountain, and he is very familiar with the affairs of Guanglei Mountain. Send him there , there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

"Li Daoshi, you are talking about the Li Daoshi who went to Xia Yuanzhou for business and picked up an immortal's wife on the way?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Ha, I don't know if this guy is capable or not, but he is very lucky." Someone joked.

"With a mortal body, marrying an immortal wife doesn't just show that Li Dao Shi is good at eloquence and knows how to deceive? Otherwise, how can I win a beautiful woman?"

Zhou Ming inserted a sentence and said.

"Hey, that seems to make sense."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone laughed.

…

Capital city.

In a mid-range villa in the south of the city.

Li Daoshi, who suddenly received the mission to go to Guanglei Mountain and finally took some time off, looked troubled and had a wry smile on his face.

"Why did such a difficult task fall on me?"

Guanglei Mountain is not easy to mess with. It is like a strange beast with a bad temper. It can be tamed by force. How can it be possible to persuade with two lips?

Isn’t this forcing others to do something difficult?

What if you didn't say something right and angered Guangleishan, and the other party slapped you to death?

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

His fairy wife came over. She was wearing a plain dress. She had an upper-middle appearance and was tall. She had thick eyebrows and a thin sword hanging from her waist. She walked with wide steps and behaved like a man. She gave people a bad look. The image of provoking.

Li Daoshi quickly put away the embarrassment on his face, put the mission document into his sleeve, turned around with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Nothing happened."

"Tell me quickly, you have already said that you will not hide anything from me after you are with me." His wife frowned.

"Well, it's all about work. My vacation is about to end and I don't have time to spend with you."

Li Daoshi stepped forward and coaxed him for a while and explained, and then his wife stopped asking questions.

But when she learned that her husband's mission would be dangerous, his wife asked to go with him to protect his safety.

Li Dao Shilian said no, but he couldn't get his wife to go, so he had to agree to take her with him.

"When I go out on a mission and take my wife with me as my personal bodyguard, my image as a freeloader will definitely have a lot of people talking behind my back, right?"

Li Daoshi smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, it was not him who proposed that the two of them get together, but his wife's initiative, because he saved her life, helped her heal her injuries, and accidentally exposed her body. , she originally wanted to kill him, but considering that he saved her, they stayed together.

Therefore, the reason why Li Daoshi was able to embrace the immortal is not because he is particularly talkative, but because the process of falling in love between the two was so bloody that they had to be together.

Finally... true feelings developed.

In addition, with a little thought, Li Daoshi understood the real thoughts of the senior officials regarding this mission to Guangleishan.

"The head of state doesn't want to kill too many immortals, and he doesn't want to damage Guanglei Mountain's strength too much."

"The head of state hopes to keep Guanglei Mountain and build it into the second or larger Chixing Mountain."

"But it is impossible not to want a conflict. The tough ones on Guanglei Mountain must account for the majority!"

"How to transform this vast majority into a relatively small number has become my task."

As for how to transform, after more than two days of thinking, Li Daoshi came up with his method.

It's just that his method may be somewhat different from what was thought above, or it may be very different. Many people may disagree, making it impossible to adopt it.

Therefore, he formulated a diplomatic action plan and submitted it, hoping that the higher authorities would adopt this plan, so that it would be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"It can be adopted. This plan takes into account more things than ours and is more feasible. You can act according to this plan." Zhou Ming nodded.

"However, if this plan is adopted, Wan Chengguo will expose too many trump cards, which is not beneficial to our country's interests."

"I know, but without revealing a few trump cards, how could Guangleishan know how powerful Wanchengguo is? How could he see the real gap? How could he know that Wanchengguo could not defeat us? If we want to convince them, we still have to convince them Open your eyes first.”

this……

This seems to be the case.

Li Daoshi's diplomatic action plan was adopted.
