Way of Overlord Chapter 220 - 220 People Hearts

220: People Hearts 220: People Hearts Aeryon concluded that the reason why Mayeux gave him that article about the Yan policy in the past is to remind him of sothing Mayeux thod when dealing with him is more tactful then when he is dealing with his subordinates Aeryon did not dislike it.

Instead, this highlighted Mayeux ability A strategist that could not have his lord listen to him is not a good strategist.

It is not enough to have great talent in strategizing against the world, but the strategist must also have the ability to make the lord trust in him.

And when he needs to advice the lord, make sure not to overstepped the lord boundaries and not to outshine the master.

This kind of way of giving him advice is more impactful and more effective.

Because Aeryon understood it himself instead of being told off.

Even if its not Aeryon that is subjected to this thod, no lord would be offended by such thod Mayeux could tell him straight.

But this kind of thod make Aeryon appreciates him more.

“He is like Xu Bailong” Aeryon mutters to himself.

In the book, it is said Xu Bailong is a great strategist.

Aeryon has spent a season in this world and he had ti to think about the characters in the book By now, he thinks that maybe even though what he reads is a book, it might not really a book There is many suspicious things about the book that he had read.

When he thinks about it again, his mory would get blurred.

He rembers his life as Jas.

So mories that are strong, stays with him.

But he did not rember each day because sotis his days are mundane Yet, he still rembers a few bits and pieces here and there However, each ti he tries to rember how he ends in this world, in Aeryon body, his mind draws a blank.

Like his mories is being suppressed by sothing.

It bothered him a lot.

He might have decided to live as Aeryon but this desire of him of also wanting to know how he end up here is also equally strong In a way, he still did not yet give up hope to return back to his world.

There is still a little bit of hope.

He believes that if he knows how he ca here, he would know how to get back.

Did he die?

Did he get hit by Truck-kun?

Did sothing happen to him?

Or is it a freak accident?

The joke of a deity?

Coincidence?

All of this thought sotis haunted him.

Did he die in his original world and his soul suddenly transported into the book?

Or is it the book snatch his soul and he enters this world?

Was that book really a book?

Or is it so kind of magical artefact that reveals to him the history of this world?

Was he summoned here?

There is all kinds of possibilities.

And since he doesn’t know, all of these possibilities could be true.

When he is alone at night, looking at the beautiful skies of this world, devoid of pollution, filled with stars so bright, it is blinding, the air is so fresh that just by inhaling it you would feel refreshed…it is night like that….when he misses ho There is not many people he misses.

But those people he misses, are worthy of being missed “Huh” he sighed again.

And it was night like that where he sorted out his knowledge about the book.

In the book it is the rise of warlords separating the world of Yan.

The Great Steppe does not feature prominently in the book.

Instead, it focused on Yan empire, the division of the Yan empire the rise of the warlords and the colourful characters in the struggle for hegemony Jiang Bei, Jiang Yu, Jiang Fei, those three is obviously modelled from Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Xiahou Cao is even more obvious.

He is modelled after Cao Cao.

Dugu Yi with his innate strength, the number one warrior of the Yan Empire is obviously modelled from Lu Bu Then who is Xu Bailong modelled from?

Aeryon suspected that the model of Xu Bailong is Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Xiao He.

Because in the book, Xu Bailong is basically an OP existence as a military strategist.

Dugu Yi was at the end of his rope when he t Xu Bailong.

Xu Bailong seek the world for a lord Jiang Bei is worthy of him but he is too righteous and affection in his heart is too big.

In a peaceful world, if its him as the monarch, the world would be bright, corruption would be rooted out and the people of the world would praise his righteousness and benevolence, the people would be living in peace, the law is clear, the heart for the world is generous But Xu Bailong could also see the weakness of such character in ti of chaos.

Jiang Bei would sotis sacrifice the big picture because of benevolence and righteousness.

Of course, Xu Bailong in the story was also attracted by Jiang Bei charisma and thought that if there is no lord in the world that could impress him, he would choose Jiang Bei As for Xiahou Cao, he believes that this is a lord that could pacify the troubled tis.

But he would never serve under such a man regardless of the ability that Xiahou Cao have Why?

Because Xiahou Cao slaughter cities repeatedly and humans lives is like weed to him.

So, what if he pacifies the region he controlled?

So, what if he could revive the economy of those lands?

How many people lives has he taken?

What sins those farrs did to him for him to slaughter everyone like a butcher?

Xu Bailong is a person who learn the Teachings of the Great Teacher.

No matter how illustrious the career he could build under Xiahou Cao, his character and Xiahou Cao character is destined to be incompatible Since they are not the sa path, there is no need for him to force it.

But, Xu Bailong did praise him as a hero of the troubled tis In the end, Xu Bailong choose Dugu Yi.

Dugu Yi is headstrong and is like a bull.

And he did not listen to advice.

Before he et with Xu Bailing he also has advisors but none of the advisors he have he trusted.

But Xu Bailong pick this person.

Picking him, Xu Bailong guided Dugu Yi to beco one of the most powerful warlords in the Late Yan dynasty It is only then that the brilliance of Dugu Yi is revealed to the world.

He is stubborn and he did not listen to advice of learned n?

No.

It is because the advice of those learned n all lack sincerity.

All of them wanted to control him, cajole him and none of them give him sincerity.

And it is this sincerity that win Xu Bailong heart and make him determined to follow Dugu Yi and work under him And because Dugu Yi got Xu Bailong he defeated the Ji family in the north and even ousted Xiahou Cao from the north dividing the world into three parts There is even a trend of unifying the world.

Mayeux to him is like Xu Bailong to Dugu Yi.

He is a great talent.

Aeryon is even anticipating that mont.

What will it be if Mayeux fight against Xu Bailong?

These two great strategists fighting each other, who would win?

“I hope in my lifeti I could go south and see this battle for myself” he thought to himself before he chuckles.

Mayeux giving him the policy book of Yan is like the thod of Xu Bailong letting Dugu Yi failed and learn from himself why strategy is important.

As for Mayeux, he probably wanted to teach Aeryon sothing more important than just the policies that the Yan people had put on the people of the Great Steppe.

He believes that Aeryon could understand it And Aeryon did understand it.

even though Aeryon is not as good as a strategist like Mayeux, he is baptized by the education of the modern world So, how could he not see it?

He sees what Mayeux wanted to teach him, among the words hidden in the policy and the tragic effect of the policy had toward the empire People hearts.

Yes, the policy and all of the scheming ntioned in the article is useful.

But probably what Mayeux was trying to teach him by giving him that articles is to understand people hearts.

“It is a pity that it did not happen in other tis” Aeryon was reminded by what Mayeux had said before when they were discussing that part of history.

Mayeux always knows Aeryon ambition to one day ride south and conquers Yan.

Mayeux said to him, if this happens during the war between the Great Steppe and Yan empire, using the dissatisfaction of that state, he could incite many others that are disenfranchised in the Yan to rise up The chaotic it beca, the more it is useful to him.

Weakening the enemies without lifting a finger, isn’t this a good job?

Not to ntion the other ambitious families and clans and powerful n who want to carve the Yan empire into pieces.

“I learn a lot from Mayeux” Aeryon mutters “Yan will soday be conquered.

If not by , by my descendants.

What I should do is create a foundation for them” he mutters to himself as he clenches his fits “Yan bastards” To them the Great Steppe is not people and they look down on the Great Steppe people.

Even though the people of the great Steppe have their own culture, their own writing the people of Yan ignores all of this and thought the people of the Great Steppe is uncultured The reason why they massacre so many people is simply because they thought of the people of the Great Steppe is not people No matter how fierce the people of the Great Steppe is, they also have mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sister.

And they have affection, they have love, capacity to do good and capacity to do evil Aeryon would break that future before it even have the chance to show itself.

“Ti is ticking.

But unless nothing major changes….I still have a lot of ti” And his mind began thinking about the tribes around him and his new border and shakes his head “Unify the lower southern great steppe, consolidate the defense and power there first.

The western tribes could be left alone for now and since Khagai tribe has agreed with my proposition, I do not have to worry about the Western Zhou.” Thinking of Western Zhou, he smiles a bit >> CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Keikokumars Support my other book, Last Son of Terra on kobo and Google Play Books
