Chapter 198: On the World
Shi Ziling asked, "In your opinion, which of the two do you think will win?"
Ma Yu said without hesitation: "Of course it's Li Yuan, although the military and financial resources of the two of them are almost the same, but Li Yuan's Tongtian Sect has more masters, and Li Yuan himself is the top three in the world today, and the artifact is in his hand, as long as he personally makes a move, how can he be invincible?"
Shi Ziling said: "But there is news that Xiahou Yuan has reconciled with my father-in-law Bai Wuya, and if the two of them join forces, they may be able to contain Li Yuan." ”
Ma Yu said: "Despite this, Xiahou Yuan and Bai Wuya are not hardcore brothers after all, although Bai Wuya promised to help, at most, he just didn't want the foundation of Shura Mansion in the north to fall into the hands of Li Yuan." Besides, with the strength of the two of them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist Li Yuan's Heavenly Divine Seal, so the Xiahou family will definitely lose, it is just a matter of how long it can be delayed. ”
Shi Ziling knew that Ma Yu was a natural military talent, and he didn't expect it to be bad, so he couldn't help but worry a little about Bai Wuya. He and Bai Wuya don't know each other, it can be said that they hit it off at first sight, Bai Wuya is still his father-in-law, of course he doesn't want to see him have something.
Ma Yu knew this, and said, "You don't have to worry, the Xiahou family has a deep foundation, and it can't be defeated in a day or two." What's more, if Senior Bai joins forces with Xiahou Yuan, even if he loses to Li Yuan, he still has a good chance to protect himself. Besides, if you don't feel at ease, you can also help!"
"Me?" Shi Ziling was stunned.
Ma Yu had a natural expression on his face, and said: "Bai Wuya is your father-in-law, if you lead the army to help when the two strong forces in the northwest are inextricably linked, it can be regarded as a famous division, in this way, even if you take advantage of the situation to take their territory, it is difficult for the people of the world to say anything." ”
"Huh?"
Shi Ziling was taken aback and said, "I led the army to help?" I thought that at most, I would have gone over to help deal with Li Yuan. ”
Ma Yu said with a smile: "Brother, hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest are fighting against each other, even if you want to find Li Yuan to fight against each other, it is not easy to find hundreds of thousands of troops, right? If you really decide to help, it is better to personally lead the army to help, of course, you have to wait until they are about to fight before going, if you have the opportunity, simply sweep away the two strong in the northwest in one fell swoop, and half of the world will be decided!"
Shi Ziling was dumbfounded, looking at Ma Yu in a daze and speechless.
Ma Yu said casually: "What? Are you surprised by your appearance? Since ancient times, this has been the case in the struggle for world domination, if you don't seize the opportunity, once Li Yuan makes a slight adjustment after defeating Xiahou Yuan, he will definitely take advantage of the situation and advance into the central part of the country." At that time, the battle between the imperial army and the Tang camp was estimated to have been decided, and no matter who won or lost, it was difficult to resist Li Yuan's two major armies. ”
"And once the central part also falls into Li Yuan's hands, then most of the Bright Moon Continent will be in his hands. The rest of the story can be imagined, even if we join forces with Nangong Xia in the south to fight the enemy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover the general trend, and at most we can only maintain a period of confrontation. ”
"Once Li Yuan completely pacified Zhongzhou and the north, it was time for him to lead the army to dominate the world. At that time, Li Yuan's forces will inevitably be far beyond what our two southeastern families can resist, and defeat or surrender will be our inevitable end. ”
General Shi Ziling said suspiciously: "Although Li Yuan is eloquent and strategic, I am afraid that dominating the world is not as simple as you say, right?"
Ma Yu said with a smile: "It's hard to say that it's hard to dominate the world, but it's not difficult to say, in fact, it starts from simple things." Li Yuan has worked hard and planned for many years, in addition to recruiting troops and hoarding grain and grass, he has important chess pieces in various places. Not to mention anything else, this time when Li Yuan sent troops, the imperial court also sent a large army to encircle and suppress Tang Jingtian, do you think it is really just a coincidence?"
Shi Ziling was surprised: "Could it be that Li Yuan can still influence the decision of the imperial court?"
Ma Yu smiled: "That's nature. Today's government is corrupt, many ministers in the court have been bribed by Li Yuan, and the emperor is incompetent, as long as those traitorous ministers instigate, the emperor will naturally agree to send troops to fight against Tang Ying. ”
"It's the same everywhere else, there are Li Yuan's pawns secretly ambushing. Take our eastern part as an example, Chen Gongzhao is an important internal response of Li Yuan. Once Li Yuan's army attacked the east, Chen Gongzhao would definitely cooperate with him to seize control of Songhu City. It's a pity that Chen Gongzhao was unlucky, and he ran into your Shiziling and was born, and this chess piece has now been abolished. ”
Shi Ziling sighed: "According to what you say, Li Yuan has been planning for many years, and this time he resolutely launched it, it seems that he is very sure?"
Ma Yu said: "Originally, this was indeed the case, but the birth of your monster was beyond everyone's expectations. Now you are not only one of the top masters today, and your personal strength is not below Li Yuan, but you also have military power in your hands. ”
"On the eastern side, not only are big names like Master Su and Duanmu Hong optimistic about you and supporting you, but the soldiers and people below and the families of various martial arts sects are also very supportive and respectful of you, and you already have enough prestige and strength to compete with any of today's forces. ”
Shi Ziling frowned and said, "Even so, I only have a small reputation in the east, and it is still difficult to compare with the momentum of Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, right?"
Ma Yu said: "In terms of troops, your Songhu Legion is indeed not very much, but your existence has always been a major variable in the pattern of the entire Mingyue Continent, the reason why Li Yuan is in a hurry to launch this time is precisely because he thinks that your wings are not yet full, and the troops in your hands are not enough, and they are not enough to pose a threat to the general trend for the time being, so he wants to pocket the entire northern and central regions as soon as possible." ”
"Once Li Yuan takes all the north and Zhongzhou, his power will no longer be matched, and the fall of the imperial court will be just around the corner. At that time, even if you want to join forces with Nangong Xia to resist Li Yuan's invasion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do so. ”
Shi Ziling asked, "What should you do in your opinion?"
Ma Yu said solemnly: "Ziling, Li Yuan has always done everything he can, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, if he really dominates the world, I am afraid that the life of the common people will be even more difficult." And Xiahou Yuan, Tang Jingtian, Nangong Xia and the others are obviously powerless to compete with them, if you blindly sit idly by, I am afraid that the Bright Moon Continent will fall into Li Yuan's hands sooner or later. ”
"That's why I hope you can stand up at the right time, compete with Li Yuan for the well-being of the people of the world, and finally bring the world back to the balance, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Shi Ziling shook his head and said: "I know my own character, I don't have the ambition to dominate the world, let me fight against Li Yuan as a warrior, let me lead the army to dominate the world, I can't do it." With war, the killing will be endless, and I don't want to make the world bleed because of my ambitions. ”
Ma Yu sneered: "If you don't participate in it, will the world be peaceful? Isn't the war already raging now? Isn't it the same for others to compete for hegemony, and corpses will be scattered all over the wilderness, and rivers of blood will flow? The Mingyue Continent has never stopped fighting and strife for hundreds of years, so it will form a situation where there are many boys and girls, and if you want the people to live a stable life, only by dominating the world can the disputes be calmed. ”
"As the top master in the world and with a very high reputation, who else can you expect if you don't stand up and let the common people? Do you really hope that a heroic figure like Li Yuan or Tang Jingtian will become the overlord of the Mingyue Continent? Why do the people in the east of us respect you to lead the Songhu Army and the defending army, don't they just hope that you can lead everyone to calm the world? Do you just watch the chaos in the world and stand by and watch?"
Shi Ziling frowned tightly and was speechless. Although Ma Yu is reasonable, Shi Ziling has always felt that he is just a pure martial artist, and his wish is only to explore the potential of life through the cultivation of martial arts, to break through the limits of nature, and he has not even thought about this kind of thing, nor has he bothered to take the time to think about it.
It's just that the current situation is really as Ma Yu speculated, if it is left unchecked, the world is afraid that sooner or later it will fall into the hands of Li Yuan or Tang Jingtian.
"No matter who is the most powerful, can they really treat the people well? If not, how should they be good? As a warrior with enough strength, should he really stand up and do something for the people?"
These are all questions that Shi Ziling has always been reluctant to think about, but under the current situation, it seems that he has to think about it.
Seeing that Shi Ziling was silent, Ma Yu knew that his words had touched him, but Ma Yu also understood Shi Ziling's temper, and it was impossible to change his mind immediately for a while.
Ma Yu said with a smile: "Ziling, the so-called greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, when today's chaos occurs, someone must come forward to do something practical for the people." As for whether it will be successful, it is indeed difficult for anyone to predict, but if we blindly sit idly by and stay out of the matter, how can our generation be at ease?"
"I will pay close attention to the progress of the current war, and I will come to you at any time to discuss any major changes, even if it is just for the long-term peace and stability of our east, we will always seize the opportunity to do something. I'll go first, and I hope you'll think about what I'm saying......"
After Ma Yu left, all the wives came out, and everyone heard the conversation between Ma Yu and Shi Ziling just now, and at this time, all the wives sat around Shi Ziling and began to discuss.
Bai Qingshuang said: "Ma Yu is still very reasonable, Li Yuanmou has been conquering the world for many years, and this time it is menacing, but I am afraid that it is not just for Xiahou Yuan's family." Once he successfully takes the north, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to move south, and Tang Jingtian or Luo Linhai in the central part will definitely not be Li Yuan's opponent no matter who wins or loses. ”
"At that time, most of the Mingyue Continent will fall into the hands of Li Yuan, and the remaining Nangong family and our eastern part are already weak, even if we join forces in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist Li Yuan's army. If you don't plan ahead, the future is really worrying. ”
"What's more, I'm also worried about whether the foundation of our Shura Mansion can be preserved in the north, Li Yuan does things unscrupulously, he has the seal of the sky in his hand, I'm afraid that my father may not be able to stop it even if he joins forces with Xiahou Yuan. ”
