Chapter Seventy-Three: Countermeasures
The little prince of Babylon spoke astonishingly, and he continued to expound his plan, only to hear him say in a childish voice: "We can disperse the troops here to the villages and towns of Babylon in a certain proportion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Let them start from where to occupy and liberate the enslaved."
"They can also raid the slave markets in medium-sized cities, freeing the slaves in the market to increase our strength."
The benefits of this approach are obvious, and it can make them grow quickly.
However, Mo Sandi had a question that she didn't figure out, so she continued to ask: "This method can quickly increase the strength, but how can we guarantee that the princes of Persia will not be alerted to come after us?" ā
"You must know that after the division of troops, it will be easier for us to be pursued by large forces!"
The little prince smiled at his sister, and he explained confidently: "Villages, small towns, these poor and remote places are inaccessible and information-blocked. ā
"The news of the invasion will not reach the Persian princes so quickly.
"And for the problems of such small places, the Persian princes will not care for a while, they will only pay attention to the safety of which large and medium-sized cities."
Mo Sandi nodded, and found that things would indeed develop as the little prince expected. Think about it, before the Persian throne is decided, who cares about which remote places.
So, she continued to ask with satisfaction, "What should we do next?" ā
The little prince pursed his lips and thought for a moment.
Like an adult, he put his finger on his forehead and said slowly: "Next, we will vigorously carry out the liberation of our subjects. We have freed most of the Babylonian subjects and continue to grow our strength. ā
"If the Persian princes find out that something is wrong, it doesn't matter if they send troops to encircle us."
"All we have to do is scatter our troops all over the country towns of Babylon and avoid the main Persian army."
"It won't be long before the prince who governs this area will definitely have to give up the encirclement because of the pressure brought to him by the other princes' competition for the throne."
Listening to the little prince's analysis, the king of Sparta nodded appreciatively.
He admired the little prince's reasonable countermeasures very much, which were completely suitable for their current situation of lack of people.
Especially from the mouth of such a small child as him, this is even more admirable.
Ling Zifeng was also shocked and couldn't close his mouth, he didn't expect the little prince to analyze the possible direction of the future at all.
I really don't know where he learned this subtle knowledge.
The little prince looked at everyone's admiring eyes and knew that his idea had been recognized, and he happily continued: "Well... When the Persians give up the encirclement, our opportunity will come. ā
"We can first integrate the scattered troops and start occupying small and medium-sized towns. At the same time, contact the former nobles throughout Babylon and bring them back to us. ā
"Then divide the villages and towns, and even small and medium-sized towns that have been conquered before, to these nobles as a reward for their submission to us."
"The nobles must be very happy to receive these benefits, and we can let the nobles guard the territory for us without worry."
Ling Zifeng secretly admired: "Ouch! Not bad! At a young age, you can actually play a win-win situation! ā
The little prince continued: "We can also divide a part of the land that is ready to be attacked to the nobles in advance, so that they can fight for their own interests. In this way, we can pull together a large wave of ready-made forces. ā
When Ling Zifeng heard this, he wrote a thumbs up in his heart: "Yo! It's amazing! This kid can even play with blank checks! ā
Mo Sandi listened to what he said, and after thinking about it, he found that this was indeed a very good countermeasure.
She could almost foresee how large a force would join them against the Persians.
Thinking about this scene, she excitedly continued to ask the little prince, "And then?" ā
The little prince showed a bright smile and said, "Then, we can recall all the troops." Then gather with the well-connected aristocratic forces and start an attack on the large and medium-sized cities of Babylon. ā
"When the villages, large and small cities in Babylon are occupied, we can gather forces to encircle the capital city of Babylon."
Hearing that the capital city of Babylon could finally be surrounded, Mo Sandi said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you go on!" ā
The little prince pouted and said, "Well... By then, the men and horses were also strong, and the Persians were tired of dealing with the infighting for the throne. By that time, we should be able to truly restore our kingdom. ā
Mo Sandi thought about a key question, and she asked like a little prince: "Brother, in this countermeasure of yours, we have hardly occupied land along the way!" This... ā
Indeed, in the little prince's countermeasure, most of the land was divided out.
Mo Sandi doesn't understand, are they just working hard to make wedding dresses for others? And without the support of these land economies, how can they strengthen the strength that only belongs to them?
The little prince understood his sister's thoughts, and he quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not the case, sister. First of all, now we don't even have a country, and it is difficult to hold on to any territory we want. ā
"Secondly, without the power of these nobles. With us as a few people, we don't know how long and in what month we will be able to return to the country. ā
"Most importantly, we don't need to divide the large and medium-sized cities of Babylon. As long as these cities are firmly in our own hands, we can fully support and strengthen the army that belongs only to us. ā
Mo Sandi savored these contents, as well as the various countermeasures that the little prince had said from the beginning, and after thinking about it, she didn't find anything wrong!
She turned her eyes to look at the Spartan king, Ling Zifeng and the others, and found that they were all nodding their heads one by one.
So she asked the little prince with hope, "Brother, what should we do after that?" ā
The little prince looked at her and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "What happened after that... I.... I haven't thought about it yet... ā
In front of the hot springs, Xerxes was in a state of ruin, and everyone sitting was in an uproar.
Of course, they were not disappointed because the little prince did not think about the future.
Instead, he was shocked that he, a child, could come up with so many ingenious countermeasures.
Even Leonidas, the world's famous military strategist, kept agreeing and admiring.
During the whole process, Ling Zifeng couldn't stop nodding.
Although he did not have as much military experience as Leonidas, he did not read many books, which were rich in the wisdom of his "predecessors" for thousands of years.
From these wisdoms, it can be seen that the countermeasures that the little prince said are indeed clever.
Ling Zifeng said appreciatively: "These countermeasures of the little prince are very perfect, and they even implicitly coincide with the military strategy of the great leader Chairman Mao. ā
"Who is Chairman Mao?" Everyone asked puzzled.
Ling Zifeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered it up: "Well, it's a famous military strategist and political leader in our hometown. He once proposed a strategy of the weak against the strong, that is, the countryside surrounds the city, which is quite Yakexi!. ā
"Ya what?"
"It is a very perfect meaning, the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside has already been personally tested by Chairman Mao in my hometown, and the effect is quite significant! Unexpectedly, the little prince actually proposed a similar countermeasure! ā
Mo Sandi thought for a long time, and finally understood his dialogue.
She asked Ling Zifeng expectantly, "Brother Ling, do you think this method can work?" ā
Ling Zifeng said affirmatively: "It can be done!" It will work! Doing a good job in the mass foundation and adhering to the mass line is the truth! The little prince's analysis is absolutely fine! ā
Mosandi nodded, then turned to the king of Sparta and asked, "King Leonidas, do you think my brother's countermeasures are problematic?" ā
