Chapter Eighty-Nine: Friends are surprised
The war that broke out in Luxi New Town lasted less than half a day, and the scale did not seem to be large, with the two sides combined being sixty or seventy thousand people.
If this were to be left on the battlefield of Yungui in the east, it would be just the scale of a small battle.
But if you look at the number of people aside, then the actual meaning of this battle is completely different.
Whether it is the cloud burst bomb or the blood spirit car, or even the rockets that have just appeared, and the guns in the hands of the city guards in the later stage.
For Yunzhou and Beipugan, it can be regarded as an earth-shattering upheaval.
Compared with the Yunzhou Federation, which was closer, some people in the Pugan Royal Court got the battle report from the defeated army earlier.
But this result was so amazing that no one wanted to believe it at all, and almost unanimously believed that these remnants had been frightened and what they said was not to be believed, so they did not report it to their great masters.
But then the information of the Wind and Rain Pavilion in the Pugan Royal Capital was in place, and the content was not much different from what those defeated troops said, which made the royal capital pay attention to this matter.
The great division summoned the nobles and strong men of the royal capital to analyze the two battle reports at hand, and finally summarized them by a civil official, which roughly means:
The three armies outside the city of Luxi collapsed,
All the hard work has come to naught.
It's not that our army doesn't work hard,
However, the enemy army has Gundam.
As soon as this result came out, the faces of everyone present were extremely ugly.
Although Pugan was not defeated by Yunzhou once or twice, Nan Pugan was taught to be a man in Tianling Pass all the year round.
But the defenders of Tianling Pass are the top five strong troops in Yunzhou, and it is not a shame to be defeated by them.
And this time, Beipugan gathered the power of the three counties, just to take advantage of the chaos in the east of Yunzhou and loot the rich Luxi New Town, so as to fill the treasury where they could starve to death.
For this reason, the national teacher even privately lent four blood spirit chariots to the Mo Dai County Shou Danwei.
But as a result, not only were the allied forces of the Three Counties annihilated, but even the four Blood Spirit Vehicles became other people's trophies.
Now in the royal capital of North Pugan, there is no one who knows the inside story of the matter who is not annoyed.
It's just that according to the information of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, the terrifying magic weapon that Lu Xicheng used at the end was actually more powerful than the full force of the Jindan Stage Immortal Cultivator.
If it is only in terms of destructive power, at least it has to be infancy stage ancestors, and it can only be caused by using top-notch spiritual weapons.
The professionalism of the Wind and Rain Pavilion made it so that almost no one would doubt the authenticity of the information they sold.
The Pugan nobles who bought the information wanted to further obtain the information of Wang Hong, the lord of Luxi City, but the Wind and Rain Pavilion refused his request, and Wang Hong's information would not be sold for three years.
The rules of the Wind and Rain Pavilion are known to the whole continent, and if they can't get information here, it is estimated that it will be difficult for other forces to get their hands on it.
Judging from some information on the surface alone, the origin of this Luxi City Lord is extremely extraordinary, and if Pugan wants to take revenge, it is estimated that the probability of success is very small.
"Let's talk about how we deal with this new neighbor."
Pugan Guoshi Ang Shanpan sat at the top of the hall, his eyes slightly squinting at the people below.
"National teacher, it is not appropriate for us to send troops to the east now."
Prime Minister Pugan got up and said, although he didn't want to say gloomy words at this time, he couldn't watch North Pugan go to death.
"Oh! Why can't you send troops? Ang Shan asked noncommittally.
Although he knew the specific reasons, there were some things that the prime minister could say, and as the de facto ruler of North Pugan, Angshan could never say it himself.
The prime minister knew that he was going to carry the black cauldron, but only he was the most suitable to carry this black cauldron, and after sighing slightly, he said loudly:
"Now that the Tiannan Kingdom is in a civil war with Yunzhou, the two sides are in a stalemate in the eastern part of Yunzhou, and they have been fighting hard for a whole year, and the two states are a little unable to hold on."
"Both sides know that there is no point in continuing to fight, but they lack an excuse to stop fighting."
"And Tiannan has a unanimous external agreement, if we attack Luxi City at this time, then Yunzhou and Guizhou can just take advantage of the situation to cease fighting, and then ......"
The prime minister stopped when he said this, and he still reasoned with facts in the front, and if he said anything in the future, it would really hurt morale.
Besides, there are no real fools here, so they naturally know the gap between Beipugan and Yunzhou, and there is no need for him to continue.
Ang Shan was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Are we just admitting it?" ”
The prime minister shook his head, and then carefully explained to everyone:
"Although it is not appropriate for us to send troops directly, we can send people to put pressure on Luxi City, and at the same time make signs of a large army moving eastward to further intimidate the other side."
"As long as we don't really cross the Yila Pass, then we won't be invading Yunzhou."
"That rich Luxi City Lord, since he has invested so much in the local area, he shouldn't dare to bet on whether we will really go east."
"And we can take this opportunity to force the other side to compensate for the losses in this war."
"I believe that as long as you don't step on the bottom limit of that person, maybe you can get a lot of benefits through negotiations!"
Wang Hong's cloud burst bomb certainly frightened many people, but in the eyes of people in this realm, this kind of powerful treasure must pay a huge price every time it is used.
And according to the intelligence, although the scope of the cloud burst bomb is large, those few people were not killed by one blow in one hit, so there is a high probability that the strong grandmaster will survive.
Therefore, as long as their demands do not exceed the bottom limit of the other party, the probability of the Luxi City Lord compromising is far greater than the possibility of the fish dying and the net being broken.
The words of the prime minister made the eyes of the nobles in the hall light up, and they all opened their mouths to put forward their own suggestions.
"That's right, that Luxi City Lord is just a stinky kid, maybe we can squeeze more benefits out of it by intimidating us more."
"I heard that almost all of the war materials in Yunzhou are supplied by that Luxi City Lord, and the silver he earned this year is definitely more than our taxes in a year!"
"Otherwise, if we find a way to get that kid back, and then force the family behind him to pay for a ransom, we may be able to get a huge amount of resources at one time."
……
These nobles were carried away by interests as they spoke, not to mention civil and military officials such as state ministers, and even the national teachers who relied on them to check and balance the government in the past couldn't listen to it at all.
I saw him slam the table, and the hall fell silent for a moment, and then Ang Shan said with a gloomy face:
"Shut up for me, Xilang, you go to Luxi City in person, I believe you can master the specific scale."
Xilang is Angshan's eldest disciple, one of the six congenital late warriors in Beipugan, the perennial commander of the forbidden army stationed in the royal capital, and he is a civil and military all-rounder, so he is very trusted by Angshan on weekdays.
"Yes, Master." Shiro replied in a deep voice.
He wasn't one of those nobles in the hall, and he knew very well that this time things would not be easy.
Although the Lucy City Lord was young, he was by no means easy to follow, and no one knew what the hole cards in his hand were.
Even he felt that his master was not sure, otherwise according to Angshan's strong personality in the past, he would never agree to this kind of treatment plan.
Xilang knew that it was not a small risk to go to Luxi City this time, but as Angshan's eldest disciple, he couldn't refuse his master, so he had to make a trip.
