Queen Xiulan, through cleverly manipulated communications, would convince King Mo Tianyang to send a minimal force led by trusted advisors, advisors who had been subtly brought over to her side in the last couple of days.
These advisors, primarily those known for their pragmatism and focus on the well-being of the tribe, had grown increasingly disillusioned with King Mo Tianyang's recent decisions.
Queen Xiulan, through private conversations and carefully crafted suggestions, had subtly highlighted the potential benefits of a more collaborative leadership style.
She emphasized the importance of listening to diverse perspectives within the tribe's leadership, a sentiment that resonated with these advisors who often felt their voices were unheard by the King.
Furthermore, Queen Xiulan subtly appealed to their sense of personal ambition.
