Episode 39 The Choice of the Royal Family

In the face of the increasingly powerful offensive of the Vietnamese army, the high-level of the royal family naturally did not ignore it, and at this time, in the palace hall of the city, the high-level of the royal family was secretly gathered to discuss the matter of dealing with the Vietnamese army. In addition to www.biquge.info the three princes, there were several high-ranking generals such as the generalissimo Gui Su of the royal family, as well as several important ministers of the court. Many of them were silent, their faces more or less melancholy.

Sitting on the first seat is not the highest cultivation of Prince Bi, nor the commander of the Gui army Gui Su, nor the most warlike Prince Li, but the cultivation of only Prince Luan in the early stage of the Dan Realm. The main reason why Prince Luan can become the head of the high-level royal family today is that he has the highest seniority, and all the people present are his sons and nephews, and even the dead King Gui has to call him Uncle Wang, so he has naturally become the number one person today.

"I have gathered everyone here today to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, ladies and gentlemen, we have been fighting with the Vietnamese army for a long time, and now the Vietnamese army is no longer able to bear it and is ready to launch a final attack on us. This move of the Vietnamese army is very dangerous for us, I don't know what you can do about it?" Prince Luan asked, seeing that everyone was silent.

Gui Su chuckled lightly and said first, "Uncle Wang, I thought there was no need to worry about this matter. The defense of our elephant city is like an iron wall, the materials in the city are sufficient, and there are 50,000 troops to help, plus the power of the Tianyang Qi Filling Array of Tianbi Peak, it can be described as solid. Since the Vietnamese army came to the city more than a year ago, we have repelled many siege battles of various sizes and killed more than 10,000 enemies, and the Vietnamese army has been unable to help us at all! The last general thinks that no matter how the Vietnamese army conducts a general offensive this time, as long as we continue to hold on and wait for work, the morale of the Vietnamese army will inevitably plummet after a long time, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy if we dispatch troops at the right time!"

Prince Luan nodded at Gui Su's words, but he was not very satisfied in his heart, as the commander of the three armies, Gui Su was calm and steady, good at defensive operations, and he led 50,000 Gui troops and 100,000 Vietnamese troops to confront Tianlun Peak for several years. But now the situation is different from the past, and if time drags on like this, it will be unfavorable to the Gui army.

Sure enough, as soon as Gui Su's words fell, Prince Luo on the side immediately retorted: "No! Instead of waiting for the Vietnamese army to attack, why can't we take the initiative to counterattack? I thought that we should immediately launch a surprise attack on the Vietnamese army and defeat the other party in one go! That King Yue was seriously injured when he plotted to kill my king, and he has never participated in the siege battle, so we can hold on to this day." But if the time drags on for a long time, when the king of Yue recovers from his injuries, the Yue army will definitely increase its strength with this strong reinforcement. Not to mention that the Vietnamese army will be defeated at that time, even whether we can keep Xiangcheng is a matter of two words!"

Prince Bi also nodded yes and said, "Well, I think the third brother's words are reasonable. We have been fighting on two fronts for a long time, and if we do not come up with a breakthrough strategy as soon as possible, it will indeed be extremely unfavorable for us to drag on like this. I think that the most important thing now is to concentrate on defeating one side of the Vietnamese army or the rebels as soon as possible, and then deal with the other side, and break through each side, so that it is possible to subdue the lost territory and completely eradicate the enemy's internal troubles!"

When Gui Su heard the two princes say this, he was quite unconvinced, and asked rhetorically: "Brother Wang, since you think that you should fight a quick battle, then what is your best strategy for retreating from the enemy? If we can defeat the enemy as soon as possible, will we still be in the situation we are in today? We have an endless supply of spiritual energy from Tianbi Peak, even if the King of Yue recovers his strength and comes to attack in person, he may not be able to bargain much." I don't think it's better for us to take it lightly!"

Prince Bi shook his head and said, "Brother Su Xian, don't forget that our opponent is also the rebels of the four clans! Although we defeated their main army in Guangyuan County three months ago, forcing them to retreat to their territories, we have no worries in the short term. But the main force of the rebels of the four clans is still there, as long as we don't completely destroy them one day, we must face a two-front battle, which is not just a simple matter of spiritual energy consumption. You should also know that at present, except for the fact that our Xiangcheng strategic materials are sufficient, the other situation is not so optimistic! Especially the mortals of the territory, who need to consume a large amount of food and other materials every day, and they have to divide troops to protect them, which is a trouble. ”

When Prince Luo heard this, he immediately became displeased, and said: "In my opinion, it is better to drive out all the mortals who have no royal relationship in the territory! In this way, it will also divert the attention of the Vietnamese army, aren't they killing mortals on a large scale in the western region they occupy? This can divert their attention, and secondly, it will also save us a lot of resources, anyway, these mortals are of no use to us at all!"

When everyone heard Prince Luo's words, they immediately looked at each other, although mortals were not worth mentioning to them, but no cultivator dared to put forward the practice of driving mortals like this. Gui Su shook his head and retorted, "This is not good! We have ignored the mortals in the fallen area before, which has already made many people disgusted. Moreover, the mortals who are still in the territory are either related to the lower-level soldiers of the Xiuzhen army, or the people of some local clans, although these people are not worth mentioning, they will never agree with us to drive out mortals. ”

"But there are only some local clans, what is there to care about? if you are worried, we will drive away other mortals who have nothing to do with the Xiuzhen army and the clans, so it is always okay?" Prince Luo said casually.

Prince Bi also felt that this suggestion was also necessary, but he didn't make a sound, but looked at Prince Luan in the main seat, wanting him to pay attention. The others also seemed to agree with Prince Luo's suggestion, and looked at Prince Luan expectantly.

"What? do you think this attention is good?" Prince Luan actually sneered and asked everyone, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Of course, if you don't do this, what else can Uncle Wang do to deal with the current situation?" Prince Luo said with a natural expression.

Prince Luan didn't say a word, sighed deeply, stood up, and turned around silently, everyone was quite surprised to see this, they had never seen this uncle Wang have such a look, and immediately looked at each other.

"If we really do something to drive out mortals, I'm afraid that this Gui country will soon have no place for our clan!" Prince Luan suddenly turned around and sighed loudly, saying these words that surprised everyone.

"Why did Uncle Wang say this, and what does the survival of my clan have to do with those mortals?" Prince Luo asked curiously, while the others were equally puzzled.

Prince Luan said, "Everyone, have you forgotten where we cultivators came from?"

"Where did you come from?" asked Prince Luo curiously.

Prince Luan sighed: "Every cultivator starts his cultivation from a mortal who has no mana at all! Although our royal family has produced many heroes, among each generation, only two or three out of ten can really embark on the path of cultivating the truth, and the others will never have a chance to cultivate the truth in this life, either because of their qualifications or because of chance. Not to mention other commoner families, among the people, only those wealthy families have the ability to cultivate a low-level monk. And it is precisely because of the cultivation of batches of cultivators from among millions of mortals that we have formed our current Gui Kingdom, so to speak, cultivators come from mortals, and without mortals, where do cultivators come from? You also know that the strength of each cultivator has a lot to do with the number of cultivators, and our royal family is not as good as the Yue royal clan in terms of the number of cultivators, and this is why we have been forced into the current situation. ”

"Now, because you are forced to sacrifice the mortals of Gui Kingdom. Although those mortals can't do anything to us, once the hearts of the mortals are lost, the mortals will completely turn their backs on our race, and we will also lose the support of the mortals, and we will lose the biggest source of soldiers for the Xiuzhen army! This is exactly the big mistake we made before!" Prince Luan sighed deeply, his face showing incomparable remorse.

Hearing Prince Luan's words, which were very different from the understanding of the cultivation realm, some of the people had some understanding, and some had not yet reacted, but they were all deeply shocked. Prince Luo even asked rhetorically, "In that case, should we be kind to mortals right now? Can we turn the tide of the war by doing so?"

Prince Luan shook his head and sighed, "It's too late?!" Since we abandoned the western counties and let the Vietnamese army slaughter mortals, we have already lost the support of those mortals!"

Prince Bi stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Wang, since we have lost the support of mortals, so what? Even if we treat those mortals well now, what help can they give us? Why don't we make good use of those mortals according to what Luo Xiandi said, anyway, there are so many mortals, and if we sacrifice a large part of it now, we won't be able to recover after decades or hundreds of years?"

When Prince Luan heard this, his face changed, and he asked angrily: "Nephew Bixian, how can you practice and you are so confused?!Haven't you seen how that little Blue Star Autonomous Group has grown from a group of weak mortals to a powerful force that can compete with us today?!"

"Uncle Wang, is this an exaggeration? They just appeared a Lin Da who suddenly became stronger without knowing what good luck he had, and this is why he has the current power, right? The others are just low-level monks, even if they hear that the Southern Clan Alliance has been merged now, they are just a group of rabble!" Prince Bi was quite disdainful of this.

"Do you still think they're a rabble?!" Prince Luan asked in surprise, "They now occupy the land of the four counties, and there is a huge Xiuzhen army with more than 100,000 people! And they have defeated the Yue army and the rebels of the four tribes many times! Isn't this enough to attract your attention?!"

"Uncle Wang, although the Fan army has a large number, most of them are mainly low-level monks, and although the battle record looks bright, the opponent is not the main force of the Vietnamese army and the rebel army, does this mean anything?" Prince Bi still didn't take the Fan army seriously.

"Even if you look down on that mortal army, but that Linda is powerful, you can't care less, right? You can kill the Dan Realm monk with the peak of the Earth Realm, and now you have advanced to the Dan Realm, and your strength has multiplied many times! Now that the Great King is dead, who else in the entire Gui Kingdom can suppress him?!" Prince Luan sighed, feeling distressed and helpless about Linda's strength.

"Hmph! That kid doesn't know what kind of good luck he encountered in the Tianlun Peak Mountain Range! It is estimated that he found a certain ancient cultivation relic and obtained some magic treasures, right?! He was able to advance so quickly! If it was possible, why don't we take it down together and divide up the treasures he obtained?" Marshal Gui Su said suddenly.

Everyone must have suddenly shown a greedy look, and couldn't help but want to agree, only Prince Luan denied it: "No! Not to mention that that person is strong, we may not be able to restrain him if we go together, if we let him escape, and it won't cause great trouble?! Not to mention that we must rely on his strength now, and no one can think about him in any way!"

"Then what should we do? Na Linda is nominally the protector of the country, but now it seems that he has a little disobedience to our orders, and has repeatedly asked them to increase his troops to support Xiangcheng, but he has not sent troops for a long time, and he has not been active enough to attack the rebels, but has annexed the three southern counties in the name of fighting the Vietnamese army. If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Xiangcheng does not allow for the division of troops, I would have wanted to send troops to teach them a good lesson!" Prince Luo remembered the disrespect that Lin Da and the others had given him at Tianbi Peak, and immediately became angry.

"Absolutely not!" Prince Luan was silent for a moment and said: "To turn the tide of the war, the only choice now, according to the old man, I am afraid, the only way is to form an alliance with the mortal army!"

"Alliance?!" everyone asked in disbelief when they heard Prince Luan's decision.
