Chapter 309: How to End the War
It is very easy to start a war, without any excuse or reason, and the word profit can start any war, but how to end a war is a very difficult thing.
So far, Tianyun Prefecture has not fallen into a significant disadvantage in the war with Chunyang Palace, and even blocked the joint attack of the three kingdoms, so it can be said that in terms of public opinion, it must be beneficial to Tianyun Prefecture.
In the same way, if the war ends at this time, it will be a big loss for the Pure Yang Palace, not only with heavy casualties, but also with the loss of Tiannan Prefecture, the key is that after this incident, it will be almost impossible to restrict the development of Tianyun Prefecture.
This is an unacceptable thing for the Pure Yang Palace, and the Heavenly Eclipse Country will not agree, they have just died so many people, if they can't get any benefits, then Yun Shaoyang will not be able to explain to the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom.
When Lin Xiao held a meeting, Lu Yan was also doing the same thing, and the high-level leaders of the two countries gathered together to discuss the war in front of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the results of the casualties in the past month have come out, including the reinforcements of the Heavenly Eclipse Country, our two countries have lost more than 3,000 Kaimai monks, 2,200 Condensing Vein monks, and 130 Zifu monks in the nearly month-long battle, and paid such a heavy price, but we did not drive Tianyun Prefecture out of the territory of Baiyan Prefecture, this is our shame, how to deal with it next, everyone has to come up with a charter, and it can't be delayed any longer."
"Old Ancestor Lu, with our current strength, we can't crush Tianyun Prefecture, whether the two countries mobilize people again, even if we don't count the other five states and counties, we can still mobilize at least 30,000 people, if the Eclipse Country is willing to mobilize another 20,000 people, in this way, we will have more than 100,000 people, and the opposite Tianyun Prefecture will be able to mobilize another 10,000 people, we can push all the way to the Tiansheng Sect Mountain Gate and completely destroy Tianyun Prefecture."
"Well said, Yun Ancestor, I don't know what you think"
"This fellow Daoist has a point, but it is difficult for the Eclipse Country to mobilize people and horses, and the Eclipse Country also borders the rest of the countries, so it is necessary to leave some people and horses to garrison.
The second batch of reinforcements has been resting on the border of Baiyan Prefecture, and the third batch of reinforcements is to clear out the rogue in the country, and the rogue will not be destroyed.
So what I mean is, first of all, I will be anxious like this, and when the second batch of reinforcements is finished, there will be about 15,000 new troops to join, which can also form a crushing trend against Tianyun Prefecture."
Yun Shaoyang said slowly, this person wants to completely drag the Eclipse Country into the quagmire of war, Yun Shaoyang is not stupid, how can he agree.
There is no direct conflict of interest between Tianyi Country and Tianyun Prefecture, in the final analysis, it is just for Dao Ji Dan and Dao Fruit Tree, and he has not obtained any benefits, he is unwilling to increase the number of people, even if it is the second batch of reinforcements, he has to watch it, if the situation is unclear, he will not go south again.
"Everyone, don't you keep thinking about reinforcements and reinforcements, if there are no reinforcements, won't this war be fought, there are less than 50,000 people on the other side, we still have more than 60,000 people, and our Zifu Daogang has more than the other party, why don't you want to win?"
"Yes, Lu Laozu"
"Old Ancestor Lu, how about we send a partial division to rush into Tianyun Prefecture, such as the strength of the hinterland of Yunzhou is empty today, as long as we enter the hinterland of Tianyun Prefecture to burn and loot, the morale of the other party will inevitably collapse, either a decisive battle with us, or retreat, no matter what, we can win"
"Nope"
"Yun Ancestor, why not"
"Let me ask you, if Tianyun Prefecture is broken, what is the use of this Tianyun Prefecture that you want, can you make up for the losses, in addition, if Tianyun Prefecture does not fight a decisive battle or rescue, but goes all the way to the north and also enters Jingzhou, what should you do, will you break Lu Guo together, if this is the case, it will be good for you"
Yun Shaoyang's interrogation made everyone unable to answer, of course, Yun Shaoyang also had selfish intentions, and if he attacked Tianyun Prefecture, that is, he would completely destroy Tianyun Prefecture, with his understanding of Lin Xiao, maybe it was possible for the fish to die and the net to be broken.
This is not in the interests of the Eclipse Country, in Yun Shaoyang's imagination, it is this war to defeat the main force of Tianyun Prefecture, encroach on half of the territory of Tianyun Prefecture, and then capture enough prisoners of Tianyun Prefecture on the battlefield, so as to coerce Lin Xiao to exchange the Dao Fruit Tree for the prisoners, this is the most in the interests of the Eclipse Country.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Lu Laozu, you have an idea"
"This..."
Lu Yan also had nothing to say, he had already seen that the Heavenly Eclipse Nation was not sincerely cooperating with them, what he was plotting was just the Dao Fruit Tree of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
In the case that the Eclipse Country does not increase investment, it is impossible to fight a decisive battle by relying on the Pure Yang Palace family alone, if they suffer too many casualties, it is difficult to say whether the ally of the Eclipse Kingdom will immediately turn around and become an enemy.
"Old Ancestor Lu, I don't think we can forget another ally"
"Wu Muyang?"
"Yes, our army of more than 60,000 is against 50,000 people in Tianyun Prefecture, and Cangguo is only dealing with more than 20,000 people, and there are many spiritual mountains in the west of Tianyun Prefecture, and more than 20,000 people alone can't defend it, so he looks at us so desperately, it's unreasonable."
"Yun Lao Zu is right, it's time for Cui Yi to urge Wu Muyang"
Lu Yan nodded, in fact, it is the most suitable for Cangguo to make a breakthrough, and the pressure is the least, and even the cost can not be so great, once Li Muxue is defeated, Tianyun Prefecture must immediately launch a decisive battle or go back to the rescue, and then they can change from the attacking side to the defensive side, dragging these 50,000 people until Tianyun Prefecture is completely destroyed.
So Lu Yan sent a letter to Wu Muyang, and after Wu Muyang read it, he immediately convened high-level discussions and showed Lu Yan's letter to everyone to see.
"Martial Ancestor, the Pure Yang Palace is uneasy and kind, they want to sit and watch the two tigers fight."
In the camp of Cangguo, there were no monks from other countries, so everyone dared to say anything, and some people immediately shouted angrily.
"Tell me how he is upset."
"In terms of Chunyang Palace, the strength of the two countries has been gathered, but only 60,000 horses have been mobilized, hehe, are you embarrassed to let us mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 horses.
On the other side, Li Muxue has more than 20,000 people in his hands, and there are many elites, how much price do we have to pay to break the boundary, and how many spiritual mountains do we have to break all the way to the Heavenly Saint Sect Mountain Gate.
How can we take it without the price of thirty or forty thousand, but our Cangguo is not as powerful as the Pure Yang Palace, if another thirty or forty thousand people die, how will the territory of Tianyun Prefecture be calculated at that time, and what about the Dao Ji Dan and the Dao Fruit Tree, can we still share it equally with them after so many deaths, they will not pay any price, just take a share?"
"That's right, Wu Laozu, we don't want to be this wronged leader"
"Our Cangguo has restrained more than 20,000 of them, and the two of them together have to contain at least 50,000 or 60,000 people.
For a while, the servants gathered, the so-called good at the top, and attached to the bottom, what character Wu Muyang has, and what kind of character does the people under his hands, let Cangguo do things that are at a loss, that is not wanted.
The Eclipse Country and the Cangguo Kingdom are leaving the country to fight, but they are backed by the Cangguo, whether it is transporting materials or mobilizing people and horses, they are all taking advantage, if they really consume it, they will definitely take advantage of it, so they are not afraid of waste at all.
"You have a point, Old Ghost Lu wants to treat us like three-year-old children, unless we let the Eclipse Kingdom transfer the warship to us, otherwise we won't be able to attack."
Wu Muyang smiled, he had been drooling for a long time for the battleship, but it was a pity that the people under his hands were not angry, and the Xuanjing that he spent a lot of money to build was actually robbed.
"Ancestor is right, as long as the Pure Yang Palace does not attack the territory of Tianyun Prefecture, we will never launch a general attack."
"That's right, come on, give me a reply to Lu Laozu, just say that the Tianyun Prefecture battleship is powerful, and the Cangguo is invincible, if you want the Cangguo to attack with all your might, please ask the Yun Laozu of the Tianyi Kingdom to send the battleship to the Cangguo, so that the Cangguo can defeat it"
"Yes, Ancestor"
"In that case, the meeting will be dismissed, and each will go back to the front line, don't let that Li Muxue sneak attack, that little girl is crazy, Lao Tzu doesn't beat her, she has repeatedly attacked us"
Wu Muyang scolded, the war has been scorching for a month, the first half of the month was fine, the two sides fought a little, but in the past half a month, Li Muxue has repeatedly taken the initiative to attack, and it is simply a brain in water.
Thirty miles away, Li Muxue, who was scolded by Wu Muyang for being in the water, was leading people to inspect the defense, and more than 20,000 people were gathered on the western front of Tianyun Prefecture, stationed in the three spiritual mountains, the battle line was more than sixty miles long, and there were many gaps in the middle.
Therefore, Li Muxue was very afraid that Cangguo would send a partial division into the hinterland of Tianyun Prefecture to burn and loot, after all, Tianyun Prefecture had done a lot of this kind of thing, and the original annexation war had been used several times.
In addition, Li Muxue was also very worried about the northern battlefield, she didn't understand that there were many gaps between the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom, and they couldn't work together, thinking that they were all the same as Tianyun Prefecture, and they were all working together, so there was no problem for the two countries to mobilize 100,000 horses.
Now there are 50,000 horses in the Pure Yang Palace, and if there are another 50,000 in the Heavenly Eclipse Country, it will be a bit bad, so Li Muxue has been taking the initiative to challenge the Cangguo recently, wanting to open a breakthrough and then return to the northern front.
"Big Sister"
"Little junior brother, how is the situation on your side?"
"There is no abnormality, no traces of invasion have been found, and there is no alarm in the rear"
"Strange, what does this Wu Muyang think, why don't you send a partial division to attack our rear?"
"This, I don't know, if you want me to say, according to what the head told us before, Wu Muyang has a small vision, and he has always been the master who takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses, since more than a hundred years of joining forces to attack the Eclipse Country, they were the first to withdraw, and then as soon as the demon beast army left, he first occupied a piece of territory in the south of Chen State, and then last time, swallowed a large area of territory in the north of Chen State, which can show his character.
If he sends a partial division to attack Tianyun Prefecture, then he must fight all the way to the end, he must first destroy our 20,000 people, and then sweep away all the guards on the spiritual mountain on the road, and then attack the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so as to obtain the greatest benefits, but the price is too great, he is probably reluctant."
"Now there is only this explanation, but the situation on Master's side is not good, and it is still struggling to support it, we have to find a way to open up the situation"
Li Muxue nodded, feeling that what Jia Mengran said made sense, since this Wu Muyang is this character, then he must make some moves.
