Chapter 294 The Limits of Rule (Part 2)

"Well, garrison?"

Hickser put aside his crutches on his knees and thought carefully: "Use killing and fear, blood and death to shock opponents and dissatisfied people, and break the people's dependence on the old system and habits, an interesting choice."

On one side, Selma seems to keep up with the rhythm. She interjected with interest: "But, long-term garrison in the north, it means high military expenses, exaggerated supplies, the cost of long-term mobilization, the grievances of the vassals, these It’s not that any big public can afford it – Charles tells me that a man who stays home for a month is enough to influence local output and bring people’s dissatisfaction.

Tels's heart is translucent: "So, in the **** year, Exeter defeated the stars, but he could not rule the northern border normally, nor could he use the garrison to keep the other's land."

Hickser once again revealed his ugly and awkward smile.

"A very interesting discussion, Mr. and Ms.," the new teacher’s words turned again: "In that case, we have another problem: they can’t rule directly, and why they don’t support the local nobility that is already in the North. Instead of ruling the northern border?"

Tyres frowned.

On the other hand, Selma turned his eyes: "When King Nuon attacked the Cold Fort, he hanged a number of lords who refused to yield from the Duke of the North to his subordinates, trying to put out the resistance of the North."

Taylors remembered Val Arend, who was in prison, remembering his allegations of screaming in the Palace of Renaissance.

The woman's grand prince is endless like an endorsement: "But he did not destroy the absolute side: the son of Old Arend was still in the kingdom, and he could not destroy the **** link with the land of the northern border."

"More than that, Exeter has not played south of the Shepherd River, Yongxing City is still standing, the robbery of the royal family also quickly re-established the king," Selma added her words: "To the North, for either The major families are still civilians, their kings and dukes are still resisting in the war, their hopes and beacons of rebellion are still there, and the jurisprudence and righteousness of fighting for it are still there. Exeter is still an illegal and evil invasion. - It doesn't make sense to support you."

"Like Longyan City under the siege of the Nightwing King, although it is in jeopardy, it has been standing for a long time. This is an eternal battle flag."

Taylors suddenly remembered the scene of Miranda and Cohen being trapped in Longyan City six years ago.

It turned out to be the case.

Miranda Arend, the heir to the Arend family, was also a crucial piece of the Lombard occupation of the North, six years ago, whether it was to support the cockroach, or...

Therefore, she will be stared at the black sand in the action of Dragon Blood: from the death of Nunn to the invasion of the North, this is a set of chess paths.

"Reversely," thought of this, Tyres unconsciously uttered his voice and took over Selma's words: "Once the Exeter broke the city of Yongxing, the captives even broke off the Arunde family and even 璨The blood of the star royal family..."

"Whether it is the northern border, or the cliffs and western wastes that they have already touched, it is likely to become easier to rule and occupy by supporting the shackles or garrisons."

Hicks coughed.

The old man reached out and twitched and grabbed an inverted cup on his hand.

Tyres quickly got up and picked up the kettle on his desk to pour him water.

"Well, this is an interesting argument - thank you, kindly gentleman - as long as the family blood representing the rule of jurisprudence is still there, and has not yielded," Hickser drank the water and did not forget the cup.砸巴嘴: "Invaders are far from conquering, can only occupy, use time and violence to eliminate dissatisfaction and maintain the status quo."

"Or foster the local cockroaches, let it become their own vassal, indirectly control the north," said Hicks suddenly raised his gray eyes, radiating a strange look, quite profoundly: "just like The Freedom League, in the Kingdom of Exeter."

The prince and the female prince are all in one.

Hearing the familiar names, they looked at them in amazement.

But the old crow did not continue this topic, but returned to the theme.

"So, dear Teres and Selma, let us summarize the discussion that has just been made: for the king of nature, the people in the occupied area - the people of the North and the vassals did not become his allies, but with him The national vassals have not received the corresponding benefits. Do you agree?"

Selma looked at it and nodded: "Yes."

The old man coughed again and said with emotion: "You know, at my age, if you want to eat something good, besides the good mouth."

"You still have to have a healthy stomach bag."

Hicksson put down the water glass and constantly looked at the two people who were sitting in jeopardy and sighed with a long sigh: "So, in the midst of a powerful attack on the Northland, under the seemingly dazzling victory, Exeter could not Long-term rule of the North, under the premise of more harm than good, can only leave the land that is incapable of possession, forced to withdraw troops back to China ... is not so difficult to understand?"

Tyres took a deep breath and bowed: "Of course, it seems like this."

Hickscher looked at the sly-eyed Thales, a wrinkled mouth with a slight bend, and smiled softly: "So, there is one more thing, I think it's a bit strange."

Tyres and Selma quickly leaned forward, and they have gradually become accustomed to the teacher's "chat" approach.

"I can't eat too hard meat, but it's okay to eat some snacks," Hickser narrowed his eyes. The old man at that moment reminded Tyres of Gilbert inexplicably, remembering the "狡狐". Awkward eyes:

"Exeter gave up the North, but why did they even give up the Broken Dragon Fortress?"

"Like the abandonment of the North, let the Stars take back such an important fortress?"

Tyres and Selma exchanged their eyes and both fell into confusion.

"Because, the Broken Dragon Fortress is just a defensive fortress," Selma tried to answer with care: "And the warning whistle? So it takes a long time to garrison, and the benefits of occupying it are far less than the cost of maintaining it."

"It’s a benefit to monitor and suppress the stars with a fortress," but Tyres shook his head. "But on the other hand, the harm of giving up is great. Stars can always use it as a base." The reason is not necessarily true."

Hickscher looked at the two people who were thinking about it and smiled.

"It sounds like a dilemma," the old man changed his position and gently slammed his right leg. It seems that sedentary is not conducive to his health: "So, when the Nunn King made the choice, it was How to consider it?"

King Nunn.

The thoughts of Thales were trembled again, and there was a tough and compelling image of the majesty of the elderly.

Correct.

King Nunn!

Taylor's gaze refocused: "Because Nun is not allowed."

The eyes of Selma and Hicksher turned to him again.

"If Exeter controls the fortress, no matter who is stationed here, it means that the status and role of the black sand collar has greatly increased. In the face of the stars, the Broken Dragon Fortress can only rely on the supply and support of Lombard. This will increase his stack and weight."

"Secondly, with the fortress as the line of defense, the pressure of the black sand collar facing the stars will be sharply reduced, and Lombard will be able to free up his hand, which will greatly enhance his threat."

Tersto lived his chin and thought thoughtfully: "So, if King Nuonen took the fortress himself and sent his cronies and troops to station, it would not only mean blocking the threat of the south for the black sand, but also relying more on Lombard. The support is equal to handing over the chips to the black sand collar."

"And if you give the fortress to the black sand collar - it is even more impossible."

"Get the stars, for Exeter," said Teres, sinking. "But before that, he did not allow the North and even the fortress to become a nourishment for any of the Grand Dukes outside the city. ”

Selma reveals a "wow" expression in the sky.

There was a weak but gratifying laugh from the old crow.

"I think our discussion has gone from the state and the rule to the level of the game of the lords. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that you can see more, the bad thing is..." Hicks is playfully facing the two. When people blink, the eyelids behind the lens become clear: "You will see less."

The two students were first glimpsed and then fell into meditation.

The old crow slightly helped his own lens, coughed and coughed, and then pulled the crutches from the knees and placed them on the right hand side.

"Very well, we talked for a while today," Hicks raised his head, still a smiling but awkward smile: "Can I say: We have come to a common, interesting conclusion: Invading and occupying a place, retaining and ruling a place, are the two completely different?"

Tyres and Selma looked at each other and the latter nodded: "Of course."

Hicks’s eyes were slightly enlarged.

"You know, it reminds me of playing chess and maps," the thin old man pulled his own scary scarf: "On the board and the map, everything is very image, you move a chess piece, a war chess, swallow Eat an enemy, then the chessboard it stands on will be inserted into your flag, dye your color: this place is yours."

"Some of the knights are also in the poetry: the protagonist is sturdy and strong, and rampages, siege: it seems that the place where his horseshoes pass, it is destined to be a loyal territory to him."

The prince and the female prince were in good faith and listened carefully to the words of the new teacher.

The old crow bowed slightly and smiled: "But in reality, Exeter's example tells us that everything is complicated and needs more consideration: you have eliminated the enemy and won the victory, but it does not mean that you can Keep that land."

"You can instruct an army to attack and win, but it doesn't mean you can take the price that comes with it - even if it looks like a sweet saga."

Hicks raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window, sighing: "Maybe, this is the limit of domination."

"When you face war and peace, hostility and alliance, you first understand what is the boundary of the rule, where it is, and there is no harm in it." He turned his head, and the flashing eyes behind the lens made Taylors unconsciously straight up. Chest: "Do you agree?"

The Star Prince took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I am very much recognized."

Selma also nodded hard.

Hickser turned his head and the wise eyes of that moment seemed to disappear. He reappeared with a relaxed and happy smile. He said: "So, we have a very happy conversation, aren't we?"

During the conversation, the thin and thin Hicks trembled to hold the crutches and stood up: "Maybe... today... is it here?"

Tyres and Selma quickly stood up and politely prayed to him.

"Of course," the prince said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Hicks, you are a good teacher."

Hicksha laughed.

"Oh, don't be busy saying this. After all, I don't even have a bachelor's degree in college."

The old crow shook his head with his eyes closed: "Yes, everything we said today, why did Exeter withdraw troops, why give up the land, to the boundaries of the rule... It's fun, right?"

The two students nodded respectfully.

Hicker blinked slightly, and the eyelids behind the lens flashed again, and the words turned: "If that's the case, then, let's meet next time..."

"I hope that you will tell me reasonably just like today..."

The two students rushed to listen.

Hicks held his crutches with his hands, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the two solemn teenage girls with interest: "Why, everything we discussed today, all conclusions from beginning to end..."

The old crow whispered: "It's all wrong."

Time seems to be still for two seconds.

Two seconds later, the reaction of Tyres and Selma both shocked!

Selma couldn't help but sigh: "What?"

Tyres stared at their teacher and didn't respond for a long time.

Everything we discussed today...

All...

"Don't be nervous, Selma, like I said," looked at the two men stunned, Hicks raised his left hand and waved, like a mischievous child, generally laughed: "We just chat This is our next chat topic: Why are we talking about it today?"

The teenager and the girl looked at the old crows with a sigh of relief, and looked at each other and couldn’t accept each other’s words.

A tutor tells you at the end of the first lesson: What he just said is wrong?

At that moment, Taylor suddenly felt that the nickname "old crow" was so appropriate.

"I am very happy to talk today, the weather is good, why don't you go for a walk together?" Hicks breathed a sigh of relief, blinking at the two special students, holding a cane and turning away. go with.

"Don't let go of your youth..." With the squeaky cane, the impressive new teacher pushed the door away.

Left two students who are jaw-dropping.

"What do you mean?"

Selma asked Taylors in confusion: "Is everything we said today is fake?"

At that moment, Tyres exhaled a long breath.

Looking at the leather chair that Hicks had sat, he suddenly had some understanding.

"Do not."

"I think, what he means is that the truth is not important," said Tyres, thinking hard and understanding the other's intentions: "The important thing is..."

"He wants us to face an almost rigid conclusion, standing in the opposite position in the unfavorable situation of so many arguments."

Taylors narrowed his eyes: "Re-convincing him."

and many more.

With a completely opposite position, it is reasonable to overthrow a conclusion that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

A familiar rhythm.

Selma blinked, spit out a breath, fell on her chair, and pouted: "I don't understand."

Taylor shrugged.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand."

"Just, be prepared to go through the library," with a faint familiarity, the prince smiled. "I have a hunch that this topic is not that simple."

Selma sighed, she tilted her mouth, and the whole person stumbled on the desk without any image: "But tomorrow, there is a ceremonial class for the female priest, to continue..."

Taylors smiled and smiled.

"Forget the etiquette class."

The prince turned around and looked at Selma, who was not very happy. "Do you remember what I said?"

"The education you have received in the past is to cultivate you into a decent and elegant Granddaughter," he said, faintly faintly: "turning you into..."

Selma interrupted him.

"'but'?"

The female grandfather raised an eyebrow: "You have to say 'but', right?"

It is one of the temptations that Tyres is brewing.

"Okay - but," Tyres nodded helplessly, shook his head and smothered at the door where Hicks had left: "I think, this man."

"This old crow...the boundaries of domination?"

The prince glanced at Hick's seat and looked at the blond girl in front of her eyes. She looked at her grievances: "He is telling you truthfully and seriously, how to become a qualified person... ”

At this time, the familiar crutches suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Oh, oh... oh... oh..."

Under the strange eyes of the two, Hicker reappeared at the door with a smile of apology.

"Sorry, people are old, and they are more forgotten," the old crow shook his head. "Although because of my physical condition, the time for our next lesson is uncertain, I still feel that I should tell you in advance, next time. When I meet, I hope that you can do it."

Tyres and Selmazzi nodded respectfully: "Of course."

Hicks smiled: "First of all, I hope that you may wish to take notes and seriously think about every sentence in our discussion..."

Selma nodded and took notes on the book from the good.

"Secondly, remember that we are chatting, welcome to interrupt and ask each other whenever and wherever we speak; then, we should all reasonably and grasp the key points to make statements;"

Taylors slightly glimpsed.

and many more.

These words……

why……

I saw that Hicker coughed and continued: "And, we may wish to be cautious and humble in the discussion. Before questioning something, it is best to ask your own position and opinion first."

That second, Taylors stunned.

These words……

impossible.

————

In the following part of the text, I put it in the writer's testimony after the chapter.

Free.

"Finally, mutual questioning is also the advantage and privilege of classmates. Please be prepared to ask each other and prepare for the other party's questions: truth is always born in collision and conflict."

The new teacher looked at Taylors with a strange look, and frowned slightly: "So, I hope you will be smooth in one day."

In the respectful and grateful farewell of Selma, the old crow walked out of the door and slowly left.

Only Taylors stood in the same place without saying a word. He hesitated to pull Selma's notebook, and the chest was ups and downs, and it was difficult to settle.

These words - the prince looked at the notes in his hand in dismay, and looked at the door of the old man's departure - seriously thinking, interrupting at any time, expressing clarity, questioning himself, and asking each other.

These rules...

Tyres raised his head violently.

Hicks... you...
