Chapter 423: The Oracle

In the dark night, Gu Sanqing, who was holding a pipa in his arms, stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance.

A camp covering an area of several miles, the fire in it was lit, and the faint sound of gongs sounded from afar.

"The army of the Kingdom of Jin is here after all. On the side, a young man in a green shirt and white hair, short and fat sighed.

Gu Sanqing was silent for a while, but the green tendons were gradually revealed in the hand holding the pipa, "I didn't expect that Ying Wuxin would reverse the entire battle situation, the weapons he brought were too terrifying." ”

Gu Sanqing recalled that night a few days ago, under the dim night sky, mysterious weapons appeared, killing tens of thousands of soldiers, and the death was extremely miserable, I don't know how many times more powerful than artillery.

The powerful firepower of the mysterious weapon, the uninterrupted release, the grain and grass supply line in the rear was cut off, and all things were added together, and finally caused the rout of the army of more than 800,000 people of the Three Kingdoms.

It was chased and killed by the cavalry of the Jin State all the way, and lost more than 200,000 yuan, especially the current Mu State, which lost more than 100,000 troops, which is the country with the largest loss of soldiers.

Mu Guo was originally weak, only two counties, the area added together, not as big as a Jincheng County of Jin Country, the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers, for the whole country, is a huge loss, now Mu Country, the country's military strength together is only 200,000, the royal capital accounted for 150,000, only 50,000 left to guard the border, of which 20,000 are still on the border with the Fire Country and the Earth Country, 30,000 border guards in the face of Long Yuan's 20,000 cavalry, there is no power to fight back, they were defeated.

Fortunately, Long Yuan just wanted to enter the Mu Kingdom to chase and kill the defeated army, and he had no interest in the border guards, so the number of dead and wounded was not much, and the border guards still maintained more than 30,000 troops.

However, Long Yuan left, and his son Long Ye led an army of 150,000 to approach, and soon the border line would be reached, and the 30,000 border guards of Mu Country would be powerless to stop it at all.

Because the borders between Mu and Jin are all large plains, there is no natural danger to rely on, and the army of Mu Country does not have a numerical advantage, so you can imagine how dangerous the situation is.

"Defeat is defeat, Zhou Huang's old guy died in the hands of this kid, the defeat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is not something incomprehensible, how are the two of them?" asked the old man in green shirts.

"Shui Lao and Tu Lao are very good, the old ghost of the Wen family did not hurt them, but now that the defeat has been decided, they are all in a hurry to return, the Red Dynasty Daomen side, there has been an action, Tu Lao really wants to go back to sit in the town, Shui Guo will definitely face the threat of Jin Guo this time, and Shui Lao will not be able to stay. Gu Sanqing said apologetically.

Originally, there were those two Dao Zun, united with Mu Lao, and the three Dao Zun were there, even if the army of the Jin Kingdom came over, they would not dare to invade the Mu Kingdom, but now those two need to leave, and Mu Lao of the Mu Kingdom still needs to sit in the royal capital, there is no Dao Zun on this border, and there are not enough soldiers, so it will inevitably be lost.

"I can understand, after all, the most important thing is to keep the foundation of our family, otherwise Dao Venerable like us will not leave the royal capital of our country at all. "The old man in the green shirt is the old man who followed Gu Sanqing to the Jin Kingdom to investigate Ying Wuxin Manor, and his relationship with Gu Sanqing is quite good.

Even if the relationship is relatively good, when he accompanied Gu Sanqing on a trip, he only left with the promise of the Daozun of the Fire Country and promised to take care of the royal capital of the Mu Kingdom.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would not leave the royal capital of the Mu Kingdom, because the kings of the Mu Kingdom are the foundation of the Mu Country and the foundation of their family, and they were exploited by other Dao Zun, and the consequences were very serious.

Gu Sanqing said: "This time I also used the favor of the Water Dye Dao Zun, and the two of them were willing to leave, but they didn't succeed at the moment, but they owed the Red Dynasty Daomen a favor, I don't know how likely it is to succeed in the next Red Dynasty Dao Gate's Water Dye Dao Zun impact on the god position." ”

Mu Lao said: "Impacting the god position, there is a great risk, and now the water stain is also a relatively evil path, you should not know if you will let her continue, this time we can just watch from the wall." At present, it is still the most important thing to deal with the invasion of Jinguo. ”

Gu Sanqing nodded, and said with some doubts: "Long Yuan has already led the cavalry to kill so many people, and he has almost recovered his roots, this time Wen Liang sent Long Ye to lead the army here, what are they trying to do? Or do they want to kill people in the territory of Mu Country? Or do they want to rob property, make up for losses, or let Mu Guo pay tribute?"

Mu Lao sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's not, for the enemy, I won't feel enough to kill no matter how much I kill, the reason why Long Yuan withdrew was not that he didn't want to chase and kill the rout of the Three Kingdoms, but that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry had been exhausted, and if they didn't go back, they would be tired and they would be exhausted to death." As for Tatsuno leading a large army to come, it must not be as simple as asking for property losses, because there is no need for so many soldiers to come, send an embassy to come, with the current situation of Mu Country, he does not dare to refuse at all. ”

"That Wen Liang is still a little smart, he must know this, the reason why he sent a large army here is only for another purpose, most likely it may cause disastrous consequences to the wood country, and even shake the foundation of your plan. ”

Gu Sanqing's expression changed drastically, and he asked in surprise, "Old Mu, what do you mean by this?"

"If I am the emperor of the Jin State, after experiencing the siege of the royal capital by the Three Kingdoms, and turning defeat into victory, I will inevitably start to build a strategic buffer zone on the northwest border, so as to isolate the direct impact of the Mu State, and even if there is another war in the future, the Jin State can also deal with it calmly. ”

Gu Sanqing was surprised: "How to build a strategic buffer zone?"

Mu Lao sighed: "The army pressed the border, forced the Mu country to cede the territory, establish a new country, and support an emperor loyal to the Jin country as a puppet, which is equivalent to the Jin country has one more helper, a pair of eyes, a shield, such a good thing, and now such a good opportunity, as long as Wen Liang is not stupid, he will definitely not let it go." ”

"How can this be? If there is one more country, wouldn't it be-" Gu Sanqing was shocked.

"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements can be divided into Yue, it was this oracle that made the five big families in the Yue country rebel together, overthrew the regime of the Yue country, and established the five countries in the five elements. If it seems that the people of the Wen family no longer believe in this oracle, they believe in their own strength. "Mu Lao Dao.

Gu Sanqing's heart was extremely chaotic, the five countries in the three states of the world were gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which was very important for the plan to be carried out by their organization, so it cost a huge price back then to make up an oracle, which convinced the five families in Vietnam.

With their help, the five great families overthrew the rule of the Yue Kingdom and established their own country, which made them even more convinced by the oracle.

What I didn't expect was that it had only been more than a hundred years since a country began to implement its own ideas, and even the oracle no longer believed it, "The Wen family, these hateful guys, they shouldn't have chosen them back then." ”
