This conversation between them determined the trend of the entire battle situation later, and the reason why there was such a dialogue was entirely because of another reason, that is, after Ba Niu captured Kew Gardens, he was hesitating on a question: whether to attack Kyoto first, occupy Dongduo and Mingsha Mountain, not attack the Kangle Dynasty first. If he had attacked the Kang Dynasty first, then there would be no need for him to occupy Domor again. But there was a drawback to attacking Kangle first, in addition to the fact that he did not have enough troop carriers, his rear was not very stable. The purpose of his trip was to reclaim Dondor, and that's what he said to his father, and if he changed his goals, it was hard to say whether his father would agree to it, and whether he would be able to continue to support him. In addition, a direct attack on Kangle is an absolute lone attack, and this kind of adventure is also extremely dangerous when you are not completely familiar with the terrain. But if he first unified Dongduo and Mingsha Mountain before attacking Dongduo, then Lu Xinghe would be his biggest threat. Through this discussion, he decided on his own policy, first establishing a base area, and then trying to expand.

His next target was Kyoto. There, Qu Chuxiao's 100,000 elite soldiers were waiting for him. It is said that there are 100,000 elite soldiers, but the degree of refinement is extremely limited. Chu Yuxing's years of conquest have almost exhausted the army, and Chang Lin took away the original men and horses, and now these people are all troops that were gathered after the national mobilization. However, Qu Chuxiao is also an extremely remarkable person, he actually made these temporary patchwork people form a kind of cohesion in a short period of time, allowing them to have a certain combat effectiveness as a whole.

Among his subordinates, there are two extremely famous people, one is Lu Kuan, who is Lu Yuanhang's nephew and has been Lu Yuanhang's subordinates. Although this man is not a high rank, he has made great achievements, and after the destruction of Sangan City, he was the first person to storm the city, and he also captured the launch pad of the original virus. In the battle of Shushan City, it was also Medivan who he set fire to. Later, the coup d'état in Fallen Leaves Town, he protected Lu Yuanhang's wife and children, and defected to Kangle, and now, he is a partial general under Qu Chuxiao's account, but the actual power is only under Qu Chuxiao, above everyone.

Another extremely famous person is Xu Youning, a recreational person. Although the name sounds relatively unfamiliar, when it comes to his resume, it is good enough. He was a counselor under Ding Jianwei, the commander of the Division of Destruction, and took the lead in attacking the city gate during the battle of Sanggan City. After entering the city, he suggested attacking Fallen Leaf Town as soon as possible, rather than repairing it in Sanggan City. If Chu Tiangang had listened to his advice at the beginning, there would have been no subsequent annihilation. Luckily, he escaped. Before the big explosion, Ding Jianwei still listened to his advice and asked him to chase the troops who had sailed away. Sensing that the situation was different, he finally chose to retreat.

These two people, others may not know very clearly, but Ba Niu understands very clearly. In addition to admiration for these two people, he is also afraid. He is fearful of all capable enemies. The same was true for Ma Xudong and Tu Su before.

"These two people will definitely make Qu Chu Xiao Jianbi clear"! The two of them looked at the map, and Ma Xudong said with great certainty: "Although it is autumn now, the grain is not yet ripe, and we have no place to go." Moreover, our rear cannot be said to be completely safe, and although the provinces we pass through are subject to us, many people are actually forced by the situation, and if the situation changes, they are likely to rebel."

"Well, what do you mean......".

"Gather grass and grain first, wait for the time to be ripe, and then launch an attack."

Ba Niu looked up at the ridge of the roof for a long time, and said, "There is no better way"?

"Nope"!

There was silence again, and then Ba Niu suddenly laughed: "In this way, you are not as good as me"!

Ma Xudong didn't understand what he meant, and an inquiring expression appeared on his face. Ba Niu looked at him, motioned for him to sit down, and then sat down himself, and continued: "Your method, although it is relatively safe, has been protracted for a long time, and we cannot afford to wait."

Ma Xudong didn't speak, now he has nothing to say, he wants to listen to Ba Niu continue, Ba Niu is indeed continuing to say: "If we want to unify Dongduo, we need to be fast, you should know that now all the forces in Dongduo are in a situation where they are fighting their own battles, once they feel that we are a threat to them, in order to protect themselves, these forces are likely to unite, and the only thing they can rely on is Qu Chuxiao." If these forces are united, we will be able to achieve the final victory, but the price we pay will be twice as much as we are now."

"But if we march into Kyoto now, if we can't take the castle quickly, won't we be exposed to the enemy?"

Ba Niu smiled and shook his head: "In the case that the situation is not completely clear, I believe that those relatively small forces will never take risks, they will inevitably choose to wait and see, on the one hand, to preserve their strength, on the other hand, they also have to choose their own destination." -- Most people should be self-aware, and they should know very well that with their strength, it is difficult to make a difference in such troubled times, as long as they can have a good home. And that's not what we're rushing to do."

"Do you want to show the world the situation"? Ma Xudong asked.

Ba Niu stroked his palms and laughed: "After all, I still didn't misunderstand you." Yes, I want to show the world in form. Judging from the current situation, whether it is Dongduo, Mingsha Mountain or Kangle, they are all in an extremely turbulent situation. However, there are only two forces that can compete for the world, one is the army of the chief guard in Dragonstone Castle, and the other is us. Although the captain of the guard does not have many troops, his prestige and merits are all at the level of the god of war, which is incomparable to us. But our strength is far greater than his. We're the most talked-about party in the world these days, everyone knows our ambitions and what we're doing, and their only doubt is whether we can do it. There is only one way to defeat this suspicion, and that is to keep winning. If we stay here, we can guarantee that the attack will be foolproof, but we will miss the opportunity to be recognized by the whole world, so we can only move forward, and we will not stop."

This is the second time that Ma Xudong feels heartfelt admiration for Ba Niu, and his face also shows this feeling vividly: "The general's vision is indeed beyond the reach of his subordinates, but I still want to know, when we get to the outside of Kyoto City, what method will we use to break through Kyoto City?"

Ba Niu looked at him with a smile: "Be adaptable." Whether it's military or politics, you can have a thousand plans, but in reality, you may not be able to use any of them. The way I like it is, it depends." Seeing Ma Xudong's dazed face, he smiled again and said: "We don't know much about the situation in Kyoto City, it's too early to make a plan, and we can't decide how to attack until we see Qu Chuxiao's deployment." Isn't it unnecessary to think about things that have not yet been determined, you say?"

Of course, it is not unnecessary, for any situation, it is better to have a planned plan than to improvise, but he knows Ba Niu's ability, since he said that it is not necessary, it is not necessary. Since he said that he can adapt to the situation, he can adapt to the situation.

He looked at Ba Niu and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said with emotion: "The general is indeed a genius, a genius that has not been met in a hundred years." He didn't seem to think that he had said enough, and continued: "I have met many amazing people, Tu Su, Mai Tiecan, Lu Xinghe, these people can be called heroes for a while, but you are the first one who dares to take such a risk, and can turn the danger into a disaster in the adventure. It's not that they're not as smart or capable as you, it's that their courage and adaptability are far inferior to you. Tu Su is a wise man, but too much of his wisdom will be entangled in good and evil, right and wrong, success or failure, which leads to him having too many frameworks to limit himself before making decisions. Mai Tie Staff is a king, his wisdom is too high, he always makes things two-tiered, right and wrong, good and evil, which leads to his easy misjudgment when making judgments. And the chief of the guard, is a battle-hardened veteran and a loyal supporter, his wisdom, in the starting point, is destined not to consider plans other than loyalty, so when he makes judgments, he is always more extreme, but you, the general, are omnipotent and elusive. If there is a genius in the world, you are definitely the only one."
