In July 1005 of the Martial Arts calendar, it was a nightmarish month in Kitahara.

Kitahara's image of being as brave as a pack of wolves has been shattered in this month, allowing the entire human world to see Kitahara's true face, maybe it is not a mistake for them to learn from wolves, but they must have made a foolish decision to abandon the virtues of humans.

Dongzhou's army is chasing and rounding up the cavalry of Beiyuan everywhere, although it can't catch up with them, but as long as you scare them away, you can achieve the strategic goal, and now the Dongzhou army has turned into a veteran hunter, forcing the wolf cubs of Beiyuan to a desperate situation one by one.

The generals of the Northern Plains were somewhat aggrieved, yes, aggrieved.

They are here to plunder, not to fight, at least they comfort themselves in this way, they are looking for something to eat after they are hungry, not for killing, they have no reason to fight Dongzhou at all! There is no benefit in winning, and if you lose, you will die.

Well, even if you win, you may die.

They are not afraid of death, but there is a limit to this fear of death, they can fight for a piece of meat, but they will not fight for the overall situation when they are full, after they have taken care of themselves, why should they take care of others, as long as they survive!

They don't care about the big picture because they're selfish.

When Jiang Ming saw the battle report from the north, he was also embarrassed, and said with emotion: "Maybe selfishness is not a mistake, human nature is inherently selfish, but when a collective has a common enemy, it must not show this selfishness, otherwise it will be a disaster for the army." ”

Who is not selfish in the world, there may be such people, but they have all been eliminated by this world, and the people who survive have a selfish side, Jiang Ming has it, Ling Xiyue also has it, even the heroes who sacrificed to defend their homeland have a selfish side.

However, for the sake of others, for the sake of the belief in their hearts, they can forget the selfishness in their hearts, and let themselves temporarily become saints, saints who sacrifice themselves for others, it doesn't take too long, as long as they do it when they swing their swords.

The people of the Northern Plains, on the other hand, take selfishness for granted, selfishness is nature, everyone is selfish, so selfishness is taken for granted, and they despise the hypocrisy of Dongzhou and Middle-earth.

However, this hypocrisy was the most important factor in the defeat of Kitahara.

After Ling Xiyue read the battle report, she was also relieved, Zhi Gehou's instructions that could almost be said to be her last words really scared her, and she didn't know why she was worried about Zhi Gehou, who she had never met, it should be the relationship between allies!

It wasn't until she saw the battle report of Kitahara's defeat that she was relieved.

A young staff member under the age of twenty Xiang Ling

Xiyue reported: "His Royal Highness the Holy Warrior Hou, the 700,000 cavalry of the Northern Plains went south to attack Dongzhou, but they were repelled by Zhigehou, and there were less than 300,000 survivors. ”

Ling Xiyue asked, "What do you think their plan is?"

The staff hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Beiyuan is defeated and retreated, Zhigehou is also unwilling to force these people into a desperate situation, otherwise they will be anxious, and Dongzhou will also suffer heavy losses, and Xizhou should also be looking forward to the defeat of Beiyuan, so that their pride can be torn apart, and with the help of Zhigehou's hand, they will be inspired to desire for power and make them succumb to that mysterious will." ”

His guess is decent, since he can't guess the other party's thoughts, then it should be regarded as the other party's goal, Beiyuan is defeated and retreated, but the victory of the war does not mean the victory of strategy, maybe what Xizhou wants to see is their defeat.

This kind of thing is not without precedent, that mysterious will infiltrated the glass cave on a large scale, and it was only after the Southern Xinjiang Desert was defeated by Middle-earth that it was quickly controlled.

The chaos of the Cloud Void is the same, it is all to promote the mysterious will to control the glazed cave, so that the process of its complete control of the glazed cave has been reduced by at least a few years, but they also have to do this, otherwise if they let that mysterious will control the glazed cave in a few years, then their power will be even stronger than now.

Since they are after speed, they sacrifice strength.

However, Ling Xiyue was not very satisfied with this answer: "The people of Xizhou are plotting against Beiyuan, just because they have taken a fancy to Beiyuan's bravery, if Beiyuan's backbone is broken, then the people of Beiyuan have nothing to fear." ”

There are few people in the northern plains, and if there is no backbone, it will be even more useless, and they will not want such northern plains.

Jiang Ming said: "The hungry Beiyuan is terrible, but the well-fed Beiyuan has no threat, Zhigehou beat some people and fed some people, and the rest of the Beiyuan people are selfish by nature, and they will not fight hard for those who die, they will only survive the cold winter with a full belly, and then go out to forage for food when they are hungry again." ”

The people of Kitahara, who are selfish by nature, will not sympathize with those who have died, will only despise their weakness, think that they died because they were not brave enough, and ignore the fact that they are also deserters.

Now that such people have eaten enough, do they still expect them to fight for honor and dignity?

Such a person, the mysterious will cannot be tempted.

Looking at the staff who were in thought, Jiang Ming couldn't help but miss the military advisor a little, and now the military advisor couldn't withstand the pressure, and lived in the staff mansion, after all, his position could not be raised and eaten in vain

The person who eats, even if the person has made a great contribution, is the same.

It's not their ruthlessness, it's like a general who has cultivated to the end of his people and can't go to the battlefield again, even if this general has made a lot of contributions, since your cultivation is wasted, then you can't lead troops anymore, we can give you a reward, we can offer you up, but it's not that you can't lead soldiers, otherwise it's a joke about the lives of the three armies.

The same is true for military advisors, if a military advisor who is supposed to give advice and strategize cannot play his original role, then it would be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers to let him continue to serve as a military advisor, so the staff office sent someone else to take over the duties of the military advisor, but now it seems that the person they selected is not very ideal.

Just when Jiang Ming was disappointed, the young staff member suddenly said: "There is no such possibility, the people of Xizhou don't want to fight us in the first place, they also want peace and hate that mysterious will?"

Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue were shocked, this young man could actually think of this? This breakthrough in thinking alone was enough to prove that the Staff Office had not chosen the wrong candidate to replace the military advisor.

After all, ordinary advice and behind-the-scenes command can be taken over by the staff office, and military advisers must think about problems from the perspective of the overall situation.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiyue's mouth: "Why do you think that the people of Xizhou hate war? They have been fighting for a long time, and they have never stopped fighting each other!"

The staff did not give an inch, and said: "The expedition of Dongzhou has not stopped. ”

Ling Xiyue said: "Go on!"

The staff said: "There are many sects in Xizhou, and our understanding of them is all from paper, so there will be misjudgments in many places, but although there are many customs and customs, there are only a few human natures, and they are just doing this to compete for interests." ”

"Isn't going to war with us a competition for interests?" Jiang Ming asked rhetorically.

The staff continued: "In addition to the threat to their lives, those who take the initiative to provoke the war must get more than they need to pay for this war, but Xizhou obviously does not meet this condition. ”

"Why?" Ling Xiyue was a little stunned, "If they capture Middle-earth, the benefits they will gain will be endless, let alone capture Dongzhou." ”

The staff said: "However, they are not monolithic! The sects attack each other, and the hatred between each other is indelible, but the sects are often united within the sects, which causes them to all hope to gain benefits, but they all hope that the rival sect will suffer heavy losses in the war, and then they will gain benefits by themselves, such an idea should be the majority." ”
