Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 75 – Distant alliances, nearby attacks; unite and divide!

Gu Feng lowered his head, appearing sorrowful, and waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "I led my troops to storm the demon clan's city, slaying countless enemies. Though I achieved merit, I ultimately violated the Divine King's Immortal Order and was stripped of my position and cultivation status, leaving me to wander the world, making my home wherever I roamed."

Sneaking a glance at Ji Wenxuan's admiring expression, Gu Feng chuckled to himself.

These witch cultivators from the Northern Wilderness knew little of matters beyond their borders. Although Gu Feng's story was full of holes, it distilled the essence of many plotlines from the films and dramas of his past life.

Despite its lack of logic, it was highly evocative, filled with the brilliance of human nature and emotional highs, instantly moving Ji Wenxuan.

Whether he believed it or not was no longer important!

"Your talents are truly admirable, sir, but what I admire even more is your composure amidst the chaos of battle!"

Ji Wenxuan's expression was animated, and after a moment of thought, he suddenly asked, "I have a dilemma, sir. Could you help enlighten me?"

"This little rascal is hard to deal with, trying to test me?"

Cursing inwardly, Gu Feng maintained a calm exterior and replied indifferently, "Please, feel free to ask, young master."

Ji Wenxuan bowed deeply and slowly said, "As you may know, sir, the Northern Wilderness border stretches for thousands of miles. Besides our White Tiger Witch's Village, there are three other major Witch's Villages holding their ground."

He paused, seeing Gu Feng listening intently, and continued, "It's no secret, sir, that for decades, our four major Witch's Villages have been at war, each trying to swallow the others to monopolize the scarce resources of the border. Yet, none can dominate."

"I, though lacking in talent, have been quietly planning within the village in recent years, hoping to ease my father's burdens and soon pacify the border, uniting the four major Witch's Villages!"

Glancing at Gu Feng and seeing no change in his demeanor, Ji Wenxuan added, "But I am inexperienced and lack capable people around me, unable to grasp the essentials. I hope you won't hesitate to offer your guidance, sir!"

What ambition this fellow has!

Gu Feng marveled inwardly but remained outwardly calm.

Ji Wenxuan, despite his scholarly appearance, harbored such grand ambitions, aiming to unify the border and eliminate the other three major Witch's Villages.

It was quite a surprise to Gu Feng!

Seeing Gu Feng remain silent for a long time, Ji Wenxuan gritted his teeth and suddenly sighed, "If the four villages could unite, achieving unified governance, we could transform decay into magic, allocating more resources to cultivate masters within our clan. In a hundred years, why should our Witch's Village suffer under the Nine Tribulations Witch King's oppression and exploitation?"

Hearing this, Gu Feng's eyes lit up, and a plan formed in his mind.

The Northern Wilderness border was a remote, barren land, rich in Gu sources but lacking in other cultivation resources.

The local witch people already lived in hardship, and power was divided among four factions, making the already weak four major Witch's Villages even more miserable.

The scattered handling of resources made it difficult for them to cultivate true masters.

In the Witch's Village, reaching the Elemental Infant Realm was already a rare achievement.

Take the White Tiger Witch's Village, for instance, where the strongest leader, Ji Qin, was only at the Elemental Infant Realm.

How could they possibly contend with the Nine Tribulations Witch King?!

The greatest advantage of centralization was the ability to unify governance and maintain consistent standards, facilitating management.

Ji Wenxuan was indeed extraordinary, unwilling to see his clan oppressed by the Nine Tribulations Witch King. But to change the situation, he had to alter the current power structure at the border!

Eliminating the other three major Witch's Villages and unifying the border was the only way out.

Gu Feng smiled and nodded, finding Ji Wenxuan increasingly agreeable. Since this fellow was so hostile to the Nine Tribulations Witch King, why not help him rise to power and use his strength to counter the Nine Tribulations Witch King?

"Unifying the Northern Wilderness border isn't difficult."

Gu Feng took out a folding fan from his Ring Storage, gently fanning himself with a mysterious expression, and said with a smile, "I have eight words for you, young master. If you act according to these eight words, why worry about not unifying the border?"

"Oh?"

Ji Wenxuan's interest was piqued, and he eagerly asked, "Please enlighten me, sir!"

Gently shaking the folding fan, Gu Feng said meaningfully, "Distant alliances, nearby attacks; unite and divide!"

A tremor ran through Ji Wenxuan's heart as he silently repeated these eight words, feeling as if he had grasped some key point, yet still unable to understand the reasoning.

After a while, he asked, "I am truly dull-witted, sir. What do these eight words mean?"

"Nonsense! If you could understand, all the history books I read in my past life would have been for nothing!"

Thinking this cheeky thought, Gu Feng wore a smug expression.

Slowly walking to Ji Wenxuan's side, Gu Feng bent down to pick up a dry branch and drew an arc on the ground. Then, he picked up four small stones and placed them along the arc.

"Please look, young master."

Pointing to the arc and stones on the ground, Gu Feng explained, "This arc represents the thousands of miles of the Northern Wilderness border, and these four stones are the four major Witch's Villages."

The White Tiger Witch's Village was located on the far left of the border, followed by the Rosefinch, Basalt, and Orient Loong God Witch's Villages as one moved rightward for hundreds of miles.

Gu Feng's idea was simple: first, send envoys with valuable gifts to stabilize the farthest Orient Loong God Witch's Village, ensuring they don't act rashly.

After all, the Orient Loong God Witch's Village was far away and posed no threat!

Next, offer generous rewards and favorable conditions to ally with the Basalt Witch's Village, jointly attacking the nearby Rosefinch Witch's Village, creating a pincer movement that would surely be unstoppable!

After eliminating the Rosefinch Witch's Village, immediately break the alliance, turn to the Orient Loong God Witch's Village, and jointly attack the Basalt Witch's Village, repeating the process!

"In this way, not only can you continuously weaken the three major Witch's Villages, but the White Tiger Witch's Village can ultimately reap the benefits!"

Gu Feng picked up the leftmost stone and flicked the other three away, saying meaningfully, "Let them tear each other apart, while we quietly grow stronger. If there's profit, seize it; if not, just put on a show. In the end, whoever survives, we'll do our utmost to eliminate them in one fell swoop. Why worry about not unifying the border?"

With this strategic demonstration, Gu Feng thoroughly explained the diplomatic and military theories he knew from his past life.

In essence, it was about using strength against strength and employing shamelessly cunning tactics.

In Gu Feng's past world, such ruthless strategies had been used to their fullest extent.

But in this cultivation world, they were unheard of!

Especially in the impoverished Northern Wilderness border, Ji Wenxuan couldn't have conceived such an effective, albeit underhanded, strategy even if he racked his brains!

"Your talents are extraordinary, sir! Please accept Wenxuan's bow!"

At this moment, Ji Wenxuan had already regarded Gu Feng as a celestial being, his eyes full of admiration, and without hesitation, he knelt down in reverence.
