"There’s a problem with your idea."
Jiang Chen pointed out: "Now that the Allied Army is in the midst of internal chaos, it’s a war between the Governor and Wei Yi. The news is spreading widely, and the Governor will definitely take action, dispatching troops to suppress the rebellion..."
"So what?"
"So, if you look at it from another angle, is Karuzi surrounded? No, quite the opposite, the Governor and Wei Yi are at war, and Karuzi is actually outside the battle circle."
Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks, "Inside the circle can also be outside."
Realized.
Truly realized.
Pei Yunxi was silent, suddenly enlightened too.
Indeed.
Why can’t inside and outside the circle be reversed?
Who says a small range must be inside?
This isn’t a philosophical question, nor a mathematical problem, it should be a matter of perspective.
Pei Yunxi’s red lips opened and closed several tis, but at last, she conceded, unable to utter a word.
Boss Jiang, who always teaches lessons now and then, took out a napkin, "This Wei Yi indeed has so skills, just his reputation alone is hardly inferior to the Governor. More than ten towns, a large part surrendered without a fight, with administrative officials opening the gates willingly. If I were the Governor, having such a capable subordinate would make uneasy too. If Wei Yi doesn’t rebel now, the Governor surely won’t tolerate him either."
"Aren’t you addressing the wrong person?"
Pei Yunxi continued to pick up the unfinished xiaolongbao, "Weren’t you the one who supported Wei Yi’s rebellion?"
Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.
Though there were no outsiders.
Was there a need to be so direct?
In the adult world, isn’t it about knowing without saying?
But since it’s been laid bare, Comrade Jiang Chen no longer concealed anything.
"Rebellion isn’t quite the right word here. If you consider the Allied Army as a company, the founder may indeed be the Governor, but Wei Yi is at least a shareholder in the board of directors. In other words, he can also represent the Allied Army. Is it rebellion if a shareholder opposes the chairman? If the chairman isn’t doing well, shareholders have the right to vote him out."
Pei Yunxi didn’t argue further, "But can one shareholder’s vote remove the chairman? The possibility is slim, isn’t it?"
"Who said there’s only one shareholder?"
Jiang Chen calmly stated: "Wei Yi’s rallying cry quickly gathered thousands, indicating a substantial portion of the company, from top to bottom, is dissatisfied with the Governor."
"But those who support the Governor still make up the majority, thousands against tens of thousands, is there any chance of victory?"
Jiang Chen was silent, leaned back in his chair, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, "Is it numbers that determine success in business? Of course, the sa goes for war, throughout history and across the world, there are countless examples of few defeating many. If rely looking at numbers could determine the final outco, then great, peace would be achieved, and there would be no wars in the world."
So philosophical.
If victory and defeat could be decided without battle, both sides would just weigh the forces, and indeed wars could be avoided.
"What if Wei Yi loses?"
Pei Yunxi remained out of the semantic trap, still clear-headed and smart, continuing her topic.
"I said, this is the internal conflict of the Allied Army. And I, am a friend of the Allied Army."
Jiang Chen remained calm, "No matter who the ultimate winner is, they still represent the Allied Army."
Pei Yunxi clearly understood what he ant between the lines.
Indeed.
This isn’t an ordinary person.
Even if the Governor is well aware, and ultimately suppresses the rebellion, as long as there’s so sanity left, they won’t act rashly.
It’s like when soone slaps another, it’s a civil dispute, only fit for moral criticism.
Yet if soone slaps another, it could be a criminal offense.
"I’m not talking about the Governor."
Pei Yunxi placed the last bit of xiaolongbao into her mouth.
Even a xiaolongbao needs to be eaten in several bites.
What does she an?
Is she deliberately teasing?
Though it’s only been a few days apart, how does the saying go.
A single day apart feels like three years.
"Then who are you talking about?"
"If the defeat is inevitable, if I were Wei Yi, the only way to survive would be one — taking hostages."
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
"At that point, do you think you’re inside the circle, or outside?" Pei Yunxi continued.
Looking at that incomparably serene face, Jiang Chen chuckled, an attractive appearance will eventually fade, only an interesting soul can shine forever.
"You’re wasted as an artist, you should be a strategist."
Jiang Chen sighed and nodded, "The scenario you ntioned could indeed happen. When faced with life and death, it’s not strange for people to act in unexpected ways. If Wei Yi loses, he might indeed turn on us..."
As he spoke, he suddenly seed to realize, reminded, "So for safety, it seems we should hope that Wei Yi can win."
"Do you really believe Wei Yi can win?"
Pei Yunxi said bluntly, "Jin not only holds an absolute advantage in military strength, but also has ample ammunition. Besides, his weapon supplies are all donated by you as a friendly gesture."
That was really rubbing salt into the wound.
Wasn’t this deliberately making Boss Jiang embarrassed?
However, since Pei Yunxi said it, she must have considered the other person’s feelings.
And indeed, this was the case.
Boss Jiang seed unaffected and remained silent.
"So, how do you plan to help Wei Yi change the battle situation?"
Pei Yunxi understood clearly, provoking a conflict within the Allied Army was certainly not just about inciting Wei Yi to die in vain.
But in the current situation, without external support, no matter how grandiose it sounds, the only ending for the Rebel Army led by Wei Yi is defeat.
And to speak realistically,
among a bunch of warlords, how could a military genius really erge? And even if a military genius were to appear, they would need space to exercise their talents, right?
As the old saying goes, "A clever woman cannot cook without rice."
Karuzi was under siege, but wasn’t the Rebel Army in the heart of the Allied Army just as surrounded by a larger circle?
Pei Yunxi did not understand military strategy, but she at least knew there was no strategic depth in this situation.
"Are we supposed to rely on those eight people who ca before?"
She asked.
"Your mory is so good? You even counted?" Jiang Chen laughed.
Pei Yunxi looked at him. Although rationally she felt pessimistic about the battle, she was not at all panicked.
Perhaps after having experienced so many dangers, she had beco accustod to it. Following this guy, she seed unable to feel fear anymore, no matter what happened.
Jiang Chen glanced at her, and after a mont of contemplation, he was about to speak when he suddenly stopped.
"Kiss , and I’ll tell you."
Pei Yunxi was taken aback.
He was brazen, shaless.
There was no shyness.
Damn it, Pei Yunxi actually stood up, took a step, and leaned down.
After all, it was not their first ti.
During this ti, apart from the past three days, or rather two nights, they had shared the sa bed night after night.
Pei Yunxi probably just wanted to deal with it, but just as her lips were about to touch his face, the other party unexpectedly turned his head without any sense of honor.
Pei Yunxi’s eyes flickered slightly, without any struggle.
A mont passed.
Their lips parted.
An ambiguous thread stretched and then broke.
Pei Yunxi’s breathing was slightly hurried, but she was very calm, sat back down, reached for a tissue, and wiped her mouth.
What do you call an ultimate beauty?
This is it.
Even after eating a greasy bun, the fragrance still lingered.
"Speak."
Seeing soone sitting there savoring the mont, Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but speak.
It seed she had grown numb.
Or perhaps,
she had been trained successfully?
However, Comrade Jiang Chen always respected won. It should be just due to overwhelming longing, because this person, indeed, found it hard to say anything overly affectionate, and could only express it through other actions.
"I just said, you need to change narrow-minded views. Don’t always use simple numbers as the asuring standard."
"So you hired Superman?"
Pei Yunxi asked.
"Superman is a Western character."
Jiang Chen, in all seriousness, slightly straightened his posture, lowered his tone, tending toward calmness, said with poise, "I invited the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."
