Chapter 710: The city has a price, and life is priceless
Clever wins? ”
The Tiger King muttered to himself thoughtfully.
In his personal battles, there has never been such a style, hearty direct combat, is the type he likes.
However, after listening to Mu Qianmei's comparison of the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, he also felt that there was really no hope for a hard-fought battle, so he thought about this problem.
After a while, Jade said in a disappointed tone:
"No matter how coincidental it is, there is still no hope!"
Mu Qianmei thought for a while, then asked Jade:
"When you first met me, how strong was I?"
Jade didn't expect Mu Qianmei to ask this, and after recalling it for a while, she said with a smile:
"At that time, you didn't even get started, not even in the Qi refining period, you were just a girl with better physical fitness, if I wanted to eat you at that time, I could eat it in one bite."
Mu Qianmei then asked:
"How long have we been aware of it now?"
Jade calculated carefully and said in surprise:
"It's been less than two years! But why do I feel like I've known each other for hundreds or thousands of years? ”
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"Because we have experienced so much in less than two years, we have such an illusion."
"Do you think that when you knew me, would you have thought that we could get to this point?"
Jade shook her head and said:
"I didn't expect that at that time, I was living a chaotic life as a whole, living like that day by day, for thousands of years, and I didn't think about anything that would change, so I didn't think about tomorrow, anyway, every day is the same."
"For more than a year, my life has been like a dream for me, no, I should say that I can't even dream of such an experience."
Mu Qianmei said slowly:
"Yes, at that time, I didn't know anything, I didn't know cultivation, I didn't know aura, I didn't know the Outer Heavens, I didn't know the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard and the Outer Heaven Lingyun List, and I didn't know that the Xiyu Kingdom would appear in today's situation, but, step by step, didn't that time find life from a desperate situation?"
"Therefore, as long as we don't give up, we can always find a glimmer of life."
Bai Xiaolong also said with confidence:
"Miss is a person who continues to create miracles, and she can survive every time, and I believe that she can still do it this time."
Liu Tingfeng finally spoke:
"Yes, it's only been more than a year, less than two years, our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes, from a person who has never started in the Qi refining period, to the current cultivation realm, as long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely be able to create more miracles in the future."
Although he doesn't like this kind of life, since Mu Qianmei has chosen, he will support it without hesitation.
The Tiger King thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to win by skill, so he simply didn't want to, so he said:
"Everything we have today is created by Miss leading us together, no matter at any time, as long as Miss gives an order, we will do what we do."
Bai Qianqian rarely praised the Tiger King:
"This time I finally understood it, I see that you have been thinking about it for a long time, you should be trying to figure out how to win by skill! This kind of truth, maybe Wenlan Gongzi is more perceptive, so he can understand the mystery. ”
Prince Wen Lan replied speciously:
"I have a deep understanding of the subtlety of the four or two thousand catties in Tai Chi, and winning by ingenuity in the war is probably the best time to choose the best time to use strength!"
Jade looked at Bing Lan curiously and asked:
"Ice Blue, do you understand?"
Bing Lan said simply and clearly:
"I don't need to understand."
The Tiger King looked at Bai Qianqian and said with a smile:
"You see, Bing Lan, like me, is also a person who understands."
Bai Qianqian smiled lightly:
"He really understands, you are rare and confused, can it be the same?"
After listening to them with a smile, Bai Xiaolong brought the topic back and said:
"The enemy we face looks very strong, but the two sides of the war are sometimes relative, and if they are enemies today, they may become allies tomorrow, and in the same way, people who are allies today may become enemies tomorrow."
"Miss's next step should be to send envoys to visit various forces first, right?"
Mu Qianmei dragged Bai Xiaolong over with an appreciative look, and then patiently replied:
"Xiaobai is right, whether it is friend or foe, it will also change with the change of the war situation, now that we are weak, we will try to avoid making enemies everywhere, the best way is to negotiate, and between different forces, all kinds of negotiations, first maximize the alliance to more allies, and then consider how to defeat the enemy."
"There are three forces that we need to negotiate, first of all, we must negotiate with all the feudal towns to draw more people into our sphere of influence; The second is to negotiate with Wu Changkong, if we can unite and unanimously with the outside world, it is best to cooperate, at least a temporary truce, so that we can get a little respite; In the end, it is to negotiate with the forces of the four countries stationed in our Xiyu country, and the so-called army and strategy, if you can achieve the army without a fight, it is the best policy. ”
"Of course, while negotiating, we must not stop the pace of development, and strong military strength is still the greatest guarantee for our negotiations, so the matter of recruiting troops and buying horses is still vigorously carried out, and the preparation of grain, grass and weapons must not stop."
"This is the general direction of our actions in the future, everything is to work hard for this general direction, I see that the recent preparatory plan carried out by Xiaobai is very good, everything can be prepared for a rainy day, this is very good, we must be prepared."
"In the future, Tingxue Lou can work as an integral part of Cuiyun City, and fully cooperate with all the actions of Cuiyun City, many times, I may not be in Cuiyun City, when I accept the canonization of the imperial court, I will no longer continue to serve as the city lord of Cuiyun City, this city lord, let Xiao Bai take over!"
"I just have Dean Zhou and Tingfeng by my side, and a few of you will stay in Cuiyun City to assist Xiaobai in running Cuiyun City well, because this is our real base camp, no matter what changes happen in the outside world, this is our final home, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone immediately replied without hesitation:
"No comments!"
Mu Qianmei nodded and continued:
"Well, that's good, in the past, Meihua Villa was our home, later, Tingxue Lou was our home, now, Cuiyun City is our common home, no matter how hard we work outside, we will return to this home when we are tired, I try to control the situation outside, otherwise the war will spread to Cuiyun City."
"However, the world is unpredictable, no one knows what kind of accident will be tomorrow, therefore, you must also be ready to meet the battle at any time, you must do a good job of all protective measures at the four major city gates, if anyone comes to attack the city, try to keep them outside the city, if the city gate is unfortunately breached, you must also fortify step by step, do not let them reach the center of the city."
"This city was created by you step by step from scratch, and no one knows and loves this city better than you, and I believe you can keep it."
Bai Xiaolong immediately promised:
"Miss, don't worry, this city is not so easy to attack, if we really encounter a strong enemy, then we are in the city, if we want to occupy the whole city, unless we step on our corpses to come in."
Mu Qianmei frowned slightly, and then said solemnly:
"I have never agreed with the city in the people, the city is dead, no matter how important the city is, it is just a city, I only need you to try to defend the city, but you don't need to swear to defend the city, if you really encounter a real strong enemy, don't desperately defend the city, you must choose an orderly evacuation, while resisting, while calmly evacuating from the safe city gate, you must remember that there is hope for people to live."
"Think about it, if you're gone, what do I want this city to do?"
"On the contrary, even if the city is lost, as long as your people are still there, when I come back, I will have the opportunity to lead you to take the city back, even if I can't take it back, our family can continue to be together, if this world can't accommodate us, it's a big deal to go to the Taoyuan Secret Realm to live together, and we can also continue to live."
"Therefore, when arming the defense, there must be a set of backup evacuation plans, and when it is impossible to do anything, you must leave the city alive, and do not defend the city with your life, that is really meaningless."
The first time Bai Xiaolong heard such words, he couldn't react for a while, although he had lived for tens of thousands of years, but in his concept, didn't any of the guards swear to defend their own city to the death, and they had such a military order? Even if I can't do it in the end, it's like that!
However, after a few moments, he figured it out.
The city is dead, the people are alive, the city is lost, it is possible to get it back, if the person is dead, it is difficult to have a chance to come back to life.
Having lost his life once, he naturally had a deeper understanding, so after thinking for a while, he agreed:
"Miss is right, we will try our best to defend the city, and if we can't do anything, we will also make preparations for evacuation based on ensuring the lives of individuals and people."
Mu Qianmei's expression was relaxed, and she said with deep relief:
"That's right, here, I emphasize again, we are a family, I don't need you to make any military orders against me, if the development goes well, we will have more cities in the future, no matter any city, we don't need to defend it with our lives, when it is impossible to do anything, we can give up."
"The city is valuable, life is priceless, just like the city of Cuiyun City, we can use a large number of spirit stones to build it, but no matter how many spirit stones, we can't save the lost lives."
