Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 355: The general direction has been determined in mind

"Don't want to be the first to come forward? Submit to Gu Huairen on the surface? Haha! I think you are just wishful thinking!"

After listening to Liu Feiyun's story, Zhou Bandxia immediately sneered.

"Whether or not to be the first to come forward is not up to you to decide! Whether Gu Huairen will believe in your loyalty is something you don't need to consider too much!"

"It won't be long before he is no longer the only emperor of the Chen Dynasty!"

"When the time comes, you won't have to worry about which emperor will trust you. Instead, you need to make sure that no matter which emperor it is, they will be wary of you and try to win you over!"

"Fortunately, you are not completely confused yet. You still know to take advantage of the civil unrest to occupy the five surrounding counties!"

"However, you are still too conservative! You should have taken over all of Anya's nine counties and one prefecture!"

"If you have those tens of thousands of wilderness suppression troops at hand, you don't need to go to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. You can just find an excuse to stay in the Northern Wilderness."

"When the world becomes further in chaos, we can move eastward to seize the western parts of Jin and Liao states, southward to Yun state, and control the three counties in northern Yun."

"As long as you control Yunbei, the eastern part of Beihuang, and the western part of Jin and Liao states, you can control several counties, govern nearly a million households, and have more than 100,000 soldiers, which is more than enough to protect yourself in troubled times!"

"Then you can manage it for a few years, completely annex the two states of Jin and Liao, control the entire Northern Wilderness, and then completely take over Yunzhou. With the four states as your foundation, you can definitely compete with other heroes!"

"As for whether you want to fight for the world or wait for the price to rise, it's up to you to choose!"

"But now! The Northern Wilderness only has the upper reaches of the Lin River left, and Yunzhou can't even occupy an entire Anya County! I wonder how you will worry about the near future!"

Liu Feiyun smiled bitterly and said:

"Haha! It's no use for me to regret now! Let's just focus on the present!"

"Zhou Banxia, ​​you have seen all the things I asked Shihu to bring back, right? You have used a lot of them, right? I wonder how effective they are?"

Zhou Banxia said with some dissatisfaction:

"You're just trying to change the subject! What can I say about you?"

"Those things of yours are wonderful, but they are only details that serve the main trunk! If you don't have a clear strategic direction and you rashly show them to the world, they will only become wedding clothes for others!"

"Just like the gunpowder you use to make meteors, it does look intimidating at first glance! But once it falls into the hands of some people, it can also be used by others!"

"There are also methods to improve production efficiency and techniques to make those weird things. As long as others come into contact with them a few more times, they can imitate them!"

"There are so many smart people in the world! And in this chaotic world, the smarter people are more likely to stand out!"

"So, some of your gadgets can be promoted on a large scale and shown to the world, but for others, it is better not to use them lightly unless you have sufficient strength to protect yourself!"

Liu Feiyun quickly responded:

"Of course I know this! Things like gunpowder cannot be used on a large scale at the moment!"

"But things like cement and steelmaking, and technologies, must be applied and promoted on a large scale! Now, I must first find out the bottom line so that I can make further specific plans!"

Zhou Banxia asked back:

"What about your strategic direction? At least what are your goals for the next few years? What do you plan to do? Continue to govern the Northern Wilderness, or march west to control the three counties of Yunbei, or march east to attack Jin and Liao?"

"You won't just be satisfied with controlling half of Anya County, right?!"

Liu Feiyun said solemnly:

"I have already thought about it. In the next few years, I will first take over the entire Anya County. Then I will manage it well and strive to make Anya County a paradise in this chaotic world."

"As for the three counties of Yunbei, I don't plan to take them all for now. I just want to firmly hold Anya County in my hands!"

"However, although I don't plan to take more land, I do want more people. I have no interest in getting involved in the heartland of the empire! But I will recruit refugees, rioters, and even rebel armies!"

"As for the four states of Jin, Liao, Huang and Wu? I, Liu Feiyun, am determined to get them! As for which one to take first, it depends on who comes to die first!"

"The Four States of Jin, Liao, Huang, and Wu!? Are you really planning to completely annex Beihuang and Donglin? Are you really not planning to march into the heart of the empire?"

"The heartland of the empire! I won't consider it for at least ten years! Whoever wants to fight for the position of the common leader of the world can fight for it! Anyway, I won't fight for it! As long as the four states are in hand, my Liu family can protect itself!"

"You have no ambition! What can I say about you?"

"If you have the ability, you can naturally have great ambitions! If you don't have the ability, it's just wishful thinking without knowing your own limitations!"
