The meeting lasted for three hours, and the generals generally agreed with Rudy that Cardin had assembled an army in the Daedric Castle and was waiting for the humans to jump into the trap. But how to break this trap, everyone has no good solution.

The solution is not nothing, it is enough to retreat, but no one dares to mention yì - the family has supported the whole country with the strength of the country, sent the most sharp troops, and the people of the whole country tightened their belts to export grain to supply the expeditionary force, from the senate to the lowest level of the common people are waiting for the expeditionary force to avenge the Seneans. The result was that they couldn't even see the walls of the Demon God Castle, and the expeditionary force was frightened by a few half-human, half-beast monsters and ran back, how could they explain to the people?

"Your Excellency, Commanders. Fang Yunhong, who had just joined the Zichuan Show Group, coughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, your official rank and position are higher than mine, and there are some things that you may not be able to speak, so let me say it." ”

The round-faced officer with a smile looked around: "If our army is stubbornly sniped by the Senea people, after a difficult battle, we have suffered a lot of casualties after killing and wounding a large number of Senean troops, and we have to retreat, no one has any reason to blame us, the people will give the returning soldiers flowers and beauties to welcome, and the military affairs office and the senate will also understand our situation, if we are lucky, we can still get a medal."

But now, our army is in good condition, the weapons are good, and the food supply is sufficient. Of the four major tribes of the kingdom, one is our allies and the other is defeated by us, the Mongols remain neutral at best, and the only enemies are the Seneans, and we have no reason to retreat at all. ”

"What about the barbarians?"

"From the mouth of His Majesty Gotha Khan and, uh, this Ludi general, we know how terrible the barbarians are. But the country doesn't know, they only know that we were scared away by a pack of wild beasts. Fang Yun spread his hands: "If you go back like this, I don't know what will happen to you, anyway, I won't be very good." ”

Wen He, Wu Bin and several other generals who were transferred from the mainland to the expeditionary force exchanged glances, and they all looked sad. They are all high-ranking officers of the Zichuan family, and they know a little bit about the inside story. This expedition not only has the purpose of revenge against the demons, but Zichuan Sanxing also hopes to take advantage of this conquest of the demons to take the opportunity to become emperor. If the expeditionary force returns like this, the family's huge investment in the expedition will be wasted, and the general's plan to become the emperor will be frustrated, and Zichuan Shenxing will definitely be like thunder.

Zi Chuan Xiu has a heavy army in the Far East, and he is not afraid of the commander-in-chief knocking his cane loudly in the sky; the generals of the Far East Army, such as Bai Chuan, Luo Jie, Lin Bing, and others, will be fine if they are protected by Zi Chuan Xiu. The only unlucky ones are their group of generals from the mainland, and when the commander is angry, not only will they have no hope for the future, but they will also have to be tried for the crime of "fearing the enemy like a tiger and falling into the army", and I am afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives.

Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and asked again, "Who else has an opinion?"

He asked twice in a row, but there was only silence in response.

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the generals one by one, and the generals also looked at him one by one, and everyone stared at him for half a minute. Zi Chuanxiu suddenly understood their difficulty: Ti yì retreated, and if he went back, he would be beaten by the commander-in-chief, but if Ti yì advanced, if the expeditionary force was defeated in the future, the people who brought up yì would definitely not have good fruit to eat. So, everyone was smart enough to keep silent.

So, Zichuan Xiu knew that from this group of animals with shiny epaulettes on their shoulders, he could not think of any opinions - of course, Roger was an exception, but this guy's intelligence was comparable to that of a fierce wolf, and his opinion could not be used as a reference.

"The meeting is adjourned!" Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand in disappointment: "Lord Lin Bing, please stay for a while." ”

At the end of the meeting, the generals left the conference room one after another, and Lin Bing stayed according to Zi Chuanxiu's instructions. Zi Chuanxiu personally poured tea for Lin Bing. The two of them looked at each other silently with steaming cups, their faces looming in the rising mist.

"Chief Lin, I have always admired your foresight. I still remember that after defeating the Gusta Legion, you gave me valuable advice to guide the Far Eastern Army - no, it should be the entire Zichuan family, defeating the demons and saving human civilization. Now, we have another problem, and I hope you will once again give me a golden gift to lead us out of this difficult situation, as you did that night. You don't have to have any scruples, it's just you and me, and no one is recording it. You are only responsible for putting forward your opinion, whether you adopt it or not, that is my responsibility. ”

Lin Bing smiled: "My lord, do you think I didn't speak today because I was afraid of taking responsibility?"

Zi Chuanxiu didn't make a sound, just stared at Lin Bing with bright eyes.

Lin Bing shook his head and smiled: "Actually, I don't have as much thought as Fang Yun. It's just that I haven't figured out some questions myself, and of course it's not good to speak out and affect you. ”

"You didn't figure it out?"

"Yes. Cardin's movements were unnatural, and although Rudy explained, I don't think it was enough to explain Cardin's crazy moves. In fact, the situation is not as bad as you think, my army is in a dilemma, but the Senea are in a desperate situation. ”

"How so?"

"Our army will retreat if it is a big deal, although Cardin will defend the Demon God Castle, but the vast territory and countless subjects outside the Demon God Castle will all be thrown to the barbarians as a snack? After our army leaves, how will she clean up this mess? There should be some reason, we don't know. ”

Listening to Lin Bing's words, Zichuan Xiu suddenly felt enlightened. When discussing today, he always felt a little inappropriate, and now, the vague doubts in his heart were clearly expressed by Lin Bing.

"Makes sense. But I'm still strange, Lu Di doesn't have that knowledge, I'm not surprised, but Gota Khan knows the situation in the kingdom well, and should be able to see why he doesn't make a sound?"

"My lord, Gota Khan's position is not the same as ours. Now, he should be the one who is most worried about our sudden withdrawal. It is not surprising that he has reservations. ”

"Why?"

"Your Excellency, you should have thought that in order to fight for the future throne, Gotha Khan has made a bloody investment. He is the duke of the kingdom, but he is cooperating with the human invading army with all his might, which is a huge gamble that will ruin him and the Goon, and the gamble is that you can destroy the Senea and support the Goon on the throne.

"If you see that the situation is not good, you will withdraw the army, and you will leave, but what will the Goang clan do? betray the demons to cooperate with the humans, and even want to seek the golden position, which is enough to make the Goang clan the object of hatred of the demon tribes. As long as your army retreats, the Goon will definitely be attacked by the hordes of all tribes. If we can't exterminate the Senea tribe, the Goang tribe will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the kingdom! Therefore, what Gota Khan is most afraid of is that if you withdraw your troops and leave, how can he dare to speak out? He is eager to take back all the barbarian information that he has revealed to us before, for fear of scaring us away!"

Zi Chuanxiu suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "No wonder, Gota Khan didn't speak today! Chief Lin, you still see it more thoroughly!"

Lin Bingyan smiled and took a sip of tea: "My lord, after all, we have taken the initiative. You know, Cardin is a hundred times more uncomfortable than we are! When the situation is uncertain, it is wise to brake with static. ”

According to Lin Bing's suggestion, the expeditionary force stopped its advance and settled down in a small town called "Vaensta" on the border between the Yakun and Senea tribes.

Vahnstad is a small city with a population of less than 100,000 people, and its inhabitants are presumably made up of the Yakun and Senean ethnic groups. Since almost half of the inhabitants were Seneans, the inhabitants of Vahnstad were particularly hostile to the expeditionary force than the towns they had passed through.

Of course, regardless of the sabre and sturdy armor of the expeditionary force, the demon natives did not have the courage to launch a large-scale riot to resist the occupation army, but they also did not give humans a good face, and some demon children often threw stones at the patrol of the expeditionary force from the streets and alleys, and there were often reports of the expeditionary force soldiers being beaten to death by sticks in which alley.

There are more such reports, and Zichuan Xiu and the generals are tired of it. The two sides did not understand the same language, the customs were different, and the local residents did not cooperate, so it was impossible to track down the murderer. In the end, Zi Chuanxiu simply ordered: "Since they don't want to get along with us, then we don't need to force it!

Overnight, those crying demon natives were driven out of the city, and no demons were seen on the street, and everyone suddenly felt that the world was pure and open-minded. Too lazy to care about the demon natives crying and shouting around the city, Zi Chuanxiu just ordered the city gate to be closed, not a single demon natives were allowed to come in, and let them talk to the barbarians in the wild!

Seeing that the human army had a tendency to be stationed in Vahnstad for a long time, Yagomi couldn't sit still. He longed for these plague gods to leave his territory as soon as possible, no matter how the human race won or lost the battle with the Senea tribe, as long as it didn't involve the Yakun tribe. But looking at the posture of Shikawa Xiu, it looks like he wants to run Vahnstad into a garrison fortress.

This group of plague gods actually wants to rely on it and not leave!

If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can reason, this is a truth that is universally applicable everywhere, regardless of human beings or demons. Now that the expeditionary force is strong and strong, the Yakun clan cannot win, and Yagomi's only hope is that Zichuan Xiu can be reasonable and abide by the peace treaty, after all, he has paid three million taels of gold protection money.

Yagomi sent an emissary to negotiate with the expeditionary force, only to receive some vague answers: "In view of the current situation in the kingdom, our army feels it necessary to garrison Vahnstad. However, due to the unfriendly attitude of the local indigenous population towards our army, our army had to make some regrettable moves. ”

The first release of the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese network, more chapters, welcome to the Bi Qu Ge www.biquge.info support the author "But we have a covenant, we paid three million taels of gold!"

"Of course, we are glad to tell the Honorable Patriarch that the purge of our army, taking into account the friendly relations between the expeditionary force and the Yakun people, was very civilized and restrained, and the number of natives who died in the operation was very small, less than a thousand. Even fewer were injured. We have purged a full 100,000 natives, and less than 10,000 have had their thighs and ribs broken, which is a remarkable achievement, and Lord Argomi needs not thank us!"

Zichuan Xiu's words are strong, and Yagomi is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood. The only protest he could do was to make a little scarecrow with the name of Shikawa Xiu, nail an iron nail to the tree and curse at night, and when he was tired of scolding, he called his subordinates to help him scold - and that's all. He wanted to run and point at Zichuan Xiu in front of him and scold, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

Yagomi's cursing outside the horizon is something that Shikawa Shu can't hear. He wasn't even interested in looking at that defeated general, and his attention was now focused on the direction of the Demon God Castle, which was his fateful enemy.

For Cardin, Shikawa Shu thinks he is familiar. When they lived in Zi Chuanning's home, the two got along day and night, and Zi Chuanxiu's impression of her was: a smart, kind and beautiful girl, with a lot of attainments in the field of art, pampered, in short, a vase.

Although Sterling was obsessed with Cardin, Zichuan Xiu always felt disapproving: "Why bother? Isn't it just a girl?" and that time in the Yulin Army camp Cardin helped Zichuan Xiu escape, in addition to gratitude, Zichuan Xiu had another impression of Cardin: "She is still quite a friendly person, and she misses the old people very much." ”

Now, the girl who was as delicate as a lily with dewdrops, the kind, friendly and nostalgic person, actually did a big move that did not hesitate to let half of the kingdom ruin the lives of the people and let the barbarians enter the country, which made Zi Chuanxiu have to sigh: "It's really terrible, people are forced into a desperate situation, and they can really do anything." ”
