Chapter 111: Situation Analysis

"After Emperor Zeng inherited the throne, he was indeed very clever. Emperor Zeng's greatest advantage is three, one is to know people well, the second is forbearance, and the third is resourcefulness. Soon, a large number of outstanding talents were discovered and placed in suitable positions, and Emperor Zeng quickly consolidated his position, growing from the original 10 million cronies to the current 40 million. Not counting the fact that three of the ten major sects have been secretly controlled by Emperor Zeng. Less than twenty years after his succession to the throne, this is an absolute miracle. ”

"But Emperor Zeng also has some shortcomings, the biggest one is that he is suspicious, even if he is loyal to him, he will be defensive in his heart,"

"For example, now your confidant Qi Yang, such a loyal, brave and talented person, just because he is a civilian, he was appointed as a commander and sent to Chiyan Pass, he was used to restrain the Chu brothers, and he was restrained by the Chu brothers, Qi Yang came to Chiyan Pass is an outcast, but it is dispensable. If it weren't for you, the lord, Qi Yang's experience might be worse than Hou Zhen's. ”

"Another example is Emperor Zeng's use of the Chu brothers, ostensibly for reuse, but in fact, it was for Emperor Zeng to block the gun, and Emperor Zeng used it several times. ”

"Sending the Chu brothers to Chiyan Pass to fight with Emperor Leng can not only weaken the viable strength of the five major families, but also strike at Emperor Leng's arrogance, and more complete Emperor Zeng's intention to annex the tens of millions of troops of Yunyang Kingdom, and strengthen himself. It's four birds with one stone,"

"Since the beginning of the war with Yunyang Kingdom, have you seen that Emperor Zeng has lost a single soldier? The battle of the valley was killed and wounded by Chu Tian's troops, and the battle of Red Flame City was killed and wounded by Chu Yu's troops. ”

"What I said is true, the lord knows more about Emperor Zeng now, right?"

"Well, but it is Emperor Zeng who is very powerful, especially resourceful, which I deeply feel, even I am a person who is being used, because of the appearance of me and the firearms army, which makes Emperor Zeng's plan more perfect. Hehe....... , it seems that I have been calculated very deeply!"

"Lord, you don't know much about the Red Blood Country or the Red Continent, so I'll just talk a little more, don't you mind!"

"Brother Ling said that, I didn't long after I first arrived here, and I really need to make up for some knowledge,"

"Okay, then I'll go on, I'm telling you about the second major item, what are the civil ministers and military generals around Emperor Zeng's cronies?, what are their characteristics, and what is the biggest reliance?"

"The main ones in the court who support Emperor Zeng are the Zhao family and the Qin family of the five major families, and the other three families and many old ministers support the eighth prince. ”

"Among the five major cities outside the imperial court, the Ghost Gate Pass is relatively independent, and he has always wanted to establish himself as a king. The Red Flame Pass was originally jointly controlled by Emperor Zeng and the Eight Kings. Some time ago, in order to successfully implement the plan of killing four birds with one stone, Emperor Zeng deliberately sent it to the Chu brothers. Now it is owned by the lord, and only one of the other three cities is under the orders of the eight kings, and the remaining two cities are in the hands of Emperor Zeng,"

"Four of the ten major sects are now supporting you, the lord, and the remaining six have all been subjugated by Emperor Zeng in the near future. ”

"The Red Blood Country's current army is about 130 million, excluding the private soldiers of the major cities, Emperor Zeng's power is still the largest, with about 50 million troops. ”

"Emperor Zeng's most trusted think tank is King Song, King Song is Emperor Zeng's uncle and cousin, and his wisdom is better than Emperor Zeng. In the rebellion some time before the Ghost Gate Pass, Emperor Zeng did not injure a single soldier, and only relied on the strategy of the King of Song to put down the rebellion in the Ghost Gate Pass, so that the Ghost King did not dare to act rashly. There is also a big battle with Leng Xiang'er, and the reason why Leng Xiang'er's army was trapped in the valley was also due to the strategy of King Song. I guess the big pit dug for the lord this time should also be from the plan of King Song. ”

"King Song, I met this person once, but that time he was silent and arrogant, and he really didn't see that he was a strong opponent," Zhang Jun interjected.

"Absolute rivals, in terms of strategy, the most important thing to pay attention to is King Song and Emperor Zeng, King Song also has shortcomings, that is, pride, we can use it at the right time. ”

"There are three of Emperor Zeng's most trusted forces, Prince Yu's General Hall, the Iron Guard, and the Elite Knights,"

"The commander of the General Hall is Prince Yu, he is the brother of Emperor Zeng, and he controls the most elite army of one million under Emperor Zeng, and there are countless generals who have come out of here, all of whom are called General Hall. ”

"The Predator Guards are Emperor Zeng's personal guards, and there are only 100,000 people, but every Predator is brave and invincible. Responsible for the security of Emperor Tsang and the Imperial Palace. ”

"The Elite Knights are the dark power that Emperor Zeng has worked hard to manage over the years, the total number is only more than a thousand people, and the lowest cultivation realm is all masters of Huang Wujing, I am afraid that the ten major sects together are not as high as the combat power of the Elite Knights, which is the most terrifying place for Emperor Zeng. ”

"Lord, if we want to succeed, the biggest obstacle we will face in the future is not Emperor Zeng's tens of millions of troops, but the King of Song and these three forces under Emperor Zeng. Ling Feng took a sip of tea.

"You're right, we really have to think long-term about dealing with Emperor Zeng, we can't let Emperor Zeng's dog jump off the wall in a hurry, and we can't just send an elite knight regiment, which is enough to kill me dozens of times. Zhang Jun is still very worried about this dark force.

"Don't be discouraged, I remember when I first met my lord, my lord was just an eightfold appearance of the Lingwu Realm. And now it's only been less than half a year, and you are already a sevenfold master of the Mingwu Mirror. Cultivation is an advanced speed that has never been seen before or since, and it will be proud of the world in time."

"What's more, your current real combat power, is it super six combat power, or is it stronger? I'm not sure, Huang Wujing's fourfold master was killed in an instant with one palm, but it spread throughout the entire Red Flame Pass. ”

"I don't know about this, I don't necessarily have super six combat power, it should be the reason why the martial arts I practice are strong. ”

"There is also this possibility, the best martial arts can indeed greatly increase combat power, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. I believe that the master's super five combat power is definitely there. ”

"Hehe, Brother Ling Feng, don't praise me, you can continue!" Zhang Jun said with a smile.

"Then I'll move on to the next item, what are the hostile forces of Emperor Zeng?"

"The main hostile forces of Emperor Zeng and the forces that can compete with Emperor Zeng are mainly as follows. The eight kings in the court, the three families of the five families and some old ministers, the ghost king family who often rebelled in the Ghost Gate Pass, the cold emperor of the Yunyang Kingdom, and the master you"

"Among the five major forces, including Emperor Zeng, Emperor Leng is the strongest, Emperor Zeng is second, Eight Kings are ranked third, Ghost King is fourth, and you are fifth, this is just a superficial ranking of strength. But in reality, it is you and your firearms army that are most feared. ”

"The relationship between Emperor Zeng and these four major forces is only with you, and the ghost king is a god who is in harmony with each other, fighting with the eight kings in the open and secret, and fighting with the cold emperor. ”

"It stands to reason that this long live incident and the mutiny will be seen by any other family. But only you, Emperor Zeng, won't move. Any idea why?"

"After you say this, it turns out that Emperor Zeng is not only the enemy of the Leng Emperor in the front, but also the Eight Kings who are eyeing the enemy behind him, and the Ghost King who is waiting for the opportunity to move. If that's the case, I think Emperor Zeng doesn't want to make enemies on all sides now, right? It's just to stabilize me. ”

"The master is right, but not all, Emperor Zeng is not such a simple character, not to mention King Song, who is known as the world's first strategist. So I'm guessing there are other reasons. Let me help you break it down. ”

"When the Red Flame Pass was originally designed, it was facing the front of the Yunyang Kingdom, the city wall was extremely tall and strong, the defense was extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, on the side facing the Red Blood Country, the walls are low, and there is almost no effective defense, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. ”

"If Emperor Zeng starts a war with you now, with Emperor Zeng's strength and the defense of the city on the back side of the Red Flame Pass, do you think we can hold it? Even if we hold it for a while, how long can we hold it? I think the answer is that it will not exceed ten days. ”

"But why didn't Emperor Zeng beat you? In fact, what he was most afraid of was that you would join someone else's camp, for example, Emperor Leng might be a candidate, and in example, the Ghost King might also be,"

"If Emperor Zeng goes to war with you, the biggest gain will be the Eight Kings or Emperor Leng. And Emperor Zeng, who was originally in an advantageous position, if you were dragged to death in the Red Flame Pass and couldn't get out, then the Eight Kings and the Ghost King could take the opportunity to take Emperor Zeng's territory, and when the time came, Emperor Zeng would be completely finished. ”

"If you lose to Emperor Zeng and open the city to cooperate with Emperor Leng, then Emperor Zeng will face even more pressure, and he may lose the country in an instant. How could Emperor Zeng take this kind of risk. ”

"That's why Emperor Zeng is under the enemy on all sides, so he set up the current situation for you. ”

"First of all, nine thousand years old is older than eight thousand years old, and you are the veritable number two person in the Red Blood Country, and the Eight Kings will definitely regard you as a mortal enemy. Secondly, the Red Flame King is sealed, then the Red Flame Pass is your private belongings, the Cold Emperor wants to take the Red Blood Country, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the Red Flame Pass and you. Once again, the five major families and the royal family were arrested, killing them would completely offend the five major families and the royal family, and if they were not killed, they would lose the morale of the military and public opinion, a huge trap and a dilemma. ”

"But don't underestimate Emperor Zeng's move, this move is shocking and crying ghosts and gods, it is really a stroke of genius. All of a sudden, the center of the conflict shifted from Emperor Zeng to you, and now you are the embattled overlord. ”

"At present, I have already analyzed the big form for you, and as for how to deal with it, I really don't have a good trick. How to get out of the pit and how to solve the problem, I think the master should have a calculation in his heart. I won't say more," Ling Feng finished talking about Cheng Po's powerful and intricate relationship, and sat aside.

"Then what do you mean that Emperor Zeng is now a praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow finches behind, yellow finches after, vipers, vipers, and hunters? Emperor Zeng is doing that hunter, right?" Zhang Jun was really secretly frightened, he didn't expect that Emperor Zeng and King Song's strategy was so powerful.

Zhang Jun has only seen this kind of power struggle in political games in film and television dramas, and he has not actually experienced it at all, so he really has no experience. If Ling Feng hadn't helped Zhang Jun analyze it, Zhang Jun really didn't expect it to be so deep.
