237 On Protracted War

After laughing for a while, Chongxu Kuaya asked, "General Kua, how is the situation in the Demon Realm?"

Kwaya put away his smile and said seriously: "The situation is not very optimistic. After the rebel king occupied the Middle Wilderness, he took the former wilderness, the western wilderness, the southern wilderness, the northern wilderness, the left wilderness and the later wilderness. Now only the Eastern Wilderness and the Right Wilderness are controlled by us. At the beginning of the month, he threw a large army to attack the Eastern Wilderness, and Lord Wei Tuo and I assisted Liu Yueheng in repelling them. It is said that it won't be long before they will make a comeback, although the Eastern Wilderness is rich, but it can't withstand consumption, and it will fall into their hands sooner or later if it drags on for a long time. ”

The entrustment he said was the chief prime minister of the demon clan, that is, the demon herd, and Liu Yueheng was the lord of the Eastern Wilderness.

Chongxu's heart immediately pinched, "How long can you hold on?"

"I have to ask Lord Veda about this. Khaya summoned Veda to his side. Wei Tuo was excited to learn that everything was fine in Chongxu, and praised him: "The young master has done a great job in the world, and he has grown the ambition and majesty of the demon clan, and he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”

When Wei Tuo heard Chongxu ask about the situation of the Demon Realm, he drooped his eyelids and said, "Young Master, rest assured, there is enough food in the Eastern Wilderness, and it will not be a problem to support it for ten or eight years." ”

"Lord Wei Tuo, have you forgotten? I am the general of Beicang, and I know exactly how much taxes are paid in the Eastern Wilderness every year! ”

Wei Tuo patted his head and said in his heart, "Forget about this!" He said solemnly: "It can support it for three years at most." ”

"Lord Weituo, do you still lie to me now?"

Wei Tuo blushed and said: "It can really last for three years, but the water is not enough, and it can only last for one year." ”

"A year?" "Lack of water is a common problem in the Eight Desolations of the Demon Realm, and the Eastern Desolation is no exception. Many years ago, when the city was first built, there was a surplus of water in each city, but as it multiplied, the amount of water began to stretch.

After the fall of the Central Wilderness, the flight of Wei Tuo and Kuamou to the Eastern Wilderness inevitably brought many people with them, which further increased the water pressure.

Chongxu made a rough estimate, and felt that the data given by Wei Tuo was not far from ten, so he asked: "Have you ever contacted the people of the Bull Demon Clan?" He had heard that Niu Ao, the grandfather of Niu Penny, led the Bull Demon Clan to fight guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas in the Southern Wilderness, so he asked.

Wei Tuo shook his head, "No!"

"This is not going to work! We can't fight on our own anymore like we did in the past. What official troops, local armed forces, militia, and even grabbed. No matter who they are or what their identity is, as long as they are enemies of the traitorous king, they can unite around them. ”

Chongxu paused and said: "I believe that if Chongqiu's character is not powerful, once he becomes bigger, he will definitely not treat the people of the Demon Realm well." Although the people are full of complaints about their fathers on weekdays, they must feel that their fathers are the masters after comparison. So the general public cares about us. ”

Wei Tuo was overjoyed when he heard Chongxu's words, and said secretly: "Your Excellency, you have a discerning eye, Your Eighth Highness can see the situation so thoroughly in the world, and he is the only one among your sons who has this ability." ”

The reality is just as Chongxu said, after the king regained power, he changed the image of loving the people like a son in the past, and set up a new capital to build a palace, and Lucifer paid tribute to the New Year's coin, and also used troops everywhere to "quell the rebellion", and the little money in the treasury was not enough at all, so he levied tyranny and forcibly requisitioned the people.

It made the major families in the demon world complain.

Chongxu said: "Don't go into battles and wars at every turn, always thinking about fighting the enemy. It is necessary to unite all forces that can be united, and fight a war of movement, sneak attack, and attrition against the enemy. If you don't have any food, you can go to the heavy land and steal it. Get in touch with like-minded allies like Niu Ao to see if they have a way to get water and food. You can join forces when necessary. As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and in difficult times, we must know the power of unity and learn to cooperate. Huddle together for warmth is the long-term solution. ”

Chongxu stayed in the human world for nearly a year, during which he read a lot of books, and his thoughts unconsciously integrated into human society, and his words contained a large number of the latest ideas in the world.

He forgot for a moment that the Demon Realm had been disconnected from the human world for a century. 30 years ago, Chonglou sent Jiuxin to the world to search for the crystallization of human wisdom, but was captured by vampires and ended in vain.

In the past 100 years or so, human thought has exploded, producing many advanced ideas, and the concept of guerrilla warfare mentioned by him is one of them.

In the past, Wei Tuo would have disdained the suggestion of Chongxu, feeling that this was a dose of yin damage, and the time and place of the battle should be agreed, and the two sides lined up in an array to compete fairly, so that they could show their strength and bravery, and it was the means of warriors to fight.

But the fall of the Demon Capital changed his mind, and the usurpation of power by the Demon King was based on the Yin Damage dose, first without paying attention to the rules and undeclared war, sneaking up on the Demon Capital, and then using a bitter meat trick to make the Caracal King pretend to be injured and poison the Demon Venerable. He is playing yin, why should we fight against him with open fire, we have to use some strategy.

It's just that Wei Tuo is used to fighting hard with real knives and guns, and he can't think of a good way to deal with the enemy for a while.

Chongxu's words were tantamount to a lighthouse, pointing him in the right direction.

Chongxu said: "My article here is called "On Protracted War", and I will send it to you after I have translated it, and the historical materials related to the article will be sent to you at that time." You do it according to the ideas inside, and the East Wilderness can be guaranteed. ”

Wei Tuo smiled with relief and said in his heart: "Your Highness has grown up and wants to be my teacher!"

Chongxu asked again: "I really want to go back to the Demon Realm to help you come up with ideas, but it's a pity that the Crypt Spring...... Hey, when will the Crypt Spring open?"

Wei Tuo said: "I forgot to tell you. When the Demon Capital fell, General Kua grabbed the Heart of the Nine Abysses. Without the Heart of the Nine Abysses, the Crypt Spring would not have opened. We did this to prevent the rebel king and his men from running into rebellion. Therefore, the Crypt Spring will not open for a while, and we will have to take it back. ”

Chongxu sighed and said in his heart: "The cave spring is in the middle of the middle wilderness, and in the current situation, it is more difficult to recapture the spring than to ascend to the sky. He asked, "Is there any other way to get to the Demon Realm, a secret passage, or something like that?" ”

Wei Tuo shook his head and said, "You should know the situation, our demon clan claims to have migrated to the Nine Abyss, but in fact, the god clan sealed us. It would be nice to have a channel to connect with the outside world, there is no other way out. ”

"That's good!"

Wei Tuo also looked forward to Chongxu coming back to preside over the overall situation, and he was a little happy in his frustration, and said: "Your Highness, don't panic, in the past, we didn't even have a chance to communicate, but now we have a channel that is already a great progress." In the future, we will slowly figure out a way, and we will definitely be able to pick you back. ”

"That's what I said!" Chongxu nodded silently, and said in his heart: "You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, let's take one step at a time!"
