Chapter 405: What the World Needs

The Kan is a brave man. A brave hero. He dares takes the bet.

If he loses, there is a chance that the Kan greatest ambition could not be realized.

But if he won, he could realize his ambition with the fastest way possible.

The Kan could kill him at that time and follow his initial plan. But Jayeux shows him another way.

And that is why Jayeux survives.

When Lu Xiao hear this he could not help but be shocked. He was shocked that Jayeux manages to change the mind of the Kan. The hardest thing for people in the tribe is none other than changing the mind of the Kan

Because of his prestige and his victory, and his smooth journey, everything ahs to follow his will. And rarely there is anyone that could change his mind. Even though Lu Xiao himself is not close to the center of power and did not see this behaviour in front of his eyes, it is not like he is deaf

He could listen to people talking about how stubborn the Kan is when he has decided things.

And this is why the relationship between these two people is quite different than the relations between master and subordinate.

Lu Xiao believe in Jayeux vision and decided to protect Jayeux before he manage to make his plan come true.

So, he can ask boldly what Jayeux is planning to do.

Jayeux is not in a rush to answer. He halted for a moment before continuing to pack his satchel. At the same time, he begins speaking

"The Kan has taken Wustkazan"

At this, Lu Xiao nodded. He also had heard the news

"The east is in a quagmire and there is the Korun tribe to hold the brunt if anyone from the East wanted to break through to the west. Knowing my teacher, he probably already put Korun tribe in the calculation. Not to mention, the Kan himself is not some incompetent ruler. He probably also has a plan for Korun tribe. The East is then not a problem"

Then he stop speaking for a moment.

"Unless there is suddenly chaos in the east that I could not predict" Jayeux mind seem to be thinking of someone. If there is one unstable factor in the east it would be Dama military advisor, Katakura.

That one...is very ruthless

And ruthless person has ruthless method. Jayeux could only attribute a certain degree of uncertainty because there is Katakura.

He shook his head and thought nothing of it.

For now, the matter of the east would surely hinder Brolgadhr as the tribes of Kazan and Esbizuk is fighting on the same front

He continue

"The only worrying thing is the matter of the West. If Khagai tribe wins, then the Kan finally now have great capital to fight against the world"

Lu Xiao frowns a bit listening to Jayeux words

"it is you that whisper words into the ears of Ayuka. Hence, he become dissatisfied with Garron the chief of Utgard" At this Jayeux only laugh

"you think to highly of me, Lu Xiao. If the desire is not there to begin with, it would not work at all. I just give oil into the already fiery fire."

’And there is one thing you must remember. I never expected it to reach this point" Lu Xiao thinks for a moment, sighed and then said

"It almost seems like you are helping the Brolgadhr"

"I am"

There is a smile on the corner of his mouth and then he said

"Yet, I am also helping myself. How could I plan for Yan if the ideal ruler in my heart did not think of it. Since he could not think of it, I want him to think of it"

Lu Xiao understand what Jayeux means "Think of it"

What Jayeux wanted is not this land. It is the other land. If that is the case then Jayeux must make his ideal ruler thinks of that land so he could use his stagey to the fullest

"And for him to think of it, he first needed to be defeated. I never wanted to play like this but the conclusion has already been written. Unless Bolghar tribe could defy the heaven, he would lose under Khagai tribe"

"Then with the Kan controlling most of the tribe in the lower south, he could begin attack the tribe one by one. He doesn’t even really need to attack them later if Norgai surrender. These tribes would quickly surrenders to him and the hegemony of the Southern Great Steppe could be achieved"

But not before a big battle.

Jayeux could already see it.

Of course, all of this is his conjecture.

He is not god.

He could not predict every single possibilities.

He has big plans and while it is gratifying to see many of his plans come into fruition, he also knows that the one thing he should guard himself most against, is his own pride and his own arrogance.

Lu Xiao after hearing Jayeux explanation nodded

He knows what Jayeux was planning. The destruction of the Yan

In the beginning he also did not quite believed that Yan could be destroyed. Even more so when the one speaking this just a young child

He is even younger than Mayeux. Lu Xiao had served under Mayeux and out of everyone that he had ever met, Mayeux impressed him

He is not as powerful as those warriors and generals under the Kan. But in the study of the minds and hearts of people, no one is better than him

Why does the Kan able to attack everywhere without worrying there is a fire in his backyard? That is because each time the Kan fight, there is Mayeux holding the fort.

When the Elders are dissatisfied, it is Mayeux that calms them down and when the problem reach the Kan, it already become only a trifle and not something that the Kan has to expend much effort for

A great man that has the talent to govern the world. This is not Lu Xiao assessment. This is the assessment of the Kan

He heard it once when he was guarding Mayeux.

Jayeux is still a child. And it is hard for him to believe a child could have as much vision as the military advisor of Brolgadhr.

But the reason he was interested in Jayeux is because he is the disciple of Mayeux. And then Jayeux explains to him.

"The Yan dynasty would fall. Unless they reform itself, it will crumble. And it is too late to reform. Because none of them see the problem. Those who see it blinds their own eyes, and listen to no advice."

That is Jayeux answer to him.

That was the first thing he answer when Lu Xiao asked him why he is sure that the Yan dynasty would fall.

And clearly this answer would lead to more question.

And the more he question Jayeux, the more he is impressed until he is charmed by thus young boy and decided to see the world that this young boy had promised him

It wasn’t until later that Lu Xiao realize that was the bait that Jayeux had thrown into him. Jayeux himself admitted it to him but by that time, he already professed his loyalty and he did not regret his decision at all

When he thinks that if Yan had used this young child, they would surely be powerful. Jayeux had explained to him the current ills and the bad policies of the Yan dynasty.

There is malpractices in the bureaucracy, such as malpractices in the official selection system, malpractices in the promotion system, inadequate crackdown on official corruption, and inadequate crackdown on officials who use their relatives to gain benefits in the local area.

In the court, there is dispute between scholars and eunuchs, the emperor partial to eunuch and harsh to scholars, resentment of scholars had accumulated, land annexation become more and more serious, Yellow Turban rebellion swept the world, which already shows the rebellious thoughts in people

The majesty of the Imperial power has been cracking little by little.

The mysticisms that the Yan family gave themselves is giving way. Rebellious thoughts once it is there is hard to stop.

The imperial court is in chaos, incompetent, and refusing to make any changes.

The scholars and powerful people were dissatisfied with the imperial court and were extremely greedy.

Common people lost their land in large numbers and became displaced, and their resentment towards the imperial court grew day by day!

Yellow Turban appears, and the death of ten eunuchs did not pacify the world instead trigger the coming of Zhou Bufan and the trend of warlords rising up is already there.

Jayeux said this is something that is common and familiar for the people of the Steppe.

What is this? The disintegration of an empire!

It has happened before and it has happened again.

And this is the time where the people of Steppe could use their strength to rides across the world

All it needs is a unifier.

The Great Steppe needs a unifier, and the Yan dynasty also needs a unifier.

But Jayeux plans to unite not the Yan and Huang descendant.

But those who has suffered under the arrogant Yan people.

People are not born to be low and if one is given opportunity none of them want to be lowly people
