Chapter 665: Stratagem (Page 1/1)
"Do you still remember that during the Second Immortal Demon War 10,000 years ago, my Penglai Pavilion besieged the Heavenly Demon Territory for a whole hundred years before it was broken, and the corpses of the fellow Daoists who died in the battle almost filled the Heavenly Demon Territory!" said the old monk of the Rotten Ke Temple.
"And now, although the strength of the demon clan is not as good as that of 10,000 years ago, it is not an overnight thing to conquer it. Therefore, the old man thinks that it is better to take it slow and wait until we are fully prepared before we go to the decisive battle. ”
Among the six Venerables, two agreed to send troops to the Heavenly Demon Island immediately after the battle in the West Sea ended, while the three felt that they should be cautious and wait until they were ready to fight the demon clan. As a result, Chen Ruitang, who was the master of Penglai Pavilion, had a headache.
Before he could speak, Yu Qiaoshan had already opened his mouth to retort: "If the war in the West Sea is over, the demon clan will inevitably be hit hard, and naturally it will have to attack the Heavenly Demon Island in one go, so I have to wait for the demon clan to recover from it." ”
Yun Yao disagreed, "Yu Daoyou, we naturally know that the defeat of the Demon Clan is the best time to attack, but didn't Daoyou think that if we are so early in the decisive battle of the Demon Clan, we may not be able to easily capture the Heavenly Demon Island, on the contrary, we will fall into the quagmire of the Heavenly Demon Island, and we will not be able to advance or retreat." ”
Qi Wangchuan said: "Yun Daoyou is right, the Heavenly Demon Island has been managed by the demon clan for nearly 10,000 years, and it is not an overnight thing to conquer, even if you fight an old man for a hundred years, it will not be unexpected." ”
"Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Island is isolated overseas, far away from the four continents where our human race gathers, we will cross hundreds of thousands of miles of vast sea to get the supply of troops, but the demon race can replenish troops and supplies on the spot. Under the advantages of one another, it is difficult to conquer the Heavenly Demon Island. ”
Mo Xuanxiu retorted: "Yun Daoyou, Qi Daoyou, what the two of you said is indeed right, besieging the Heavenly Demon Island, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the mainland, is indeed not good for us. But the two Taoist friends should know that after the end of the Battle of the West Sea, after decades of bloodletting, the demon clan is already their weakest time, if we don't take advantage of this time to fight a decisive battle, the demon clan will be relieved, and it will be more difficult for us to exterminate them, and the price paid will be even more heavy. ”
Yun Yao retorted again: "Mo Daoyou......"
The two factions in the hall quarreled, and no one was justified, and no one could convince anyone, and the meeting fell into a stalemate for a while.
Looking at this scene, Chen Ruitang, as the owner of Penglai Pavilion and the convener of this meeting, had to stand up and play a round.
"Okay, okay, a few Taoist friends, don't quarrel, and listen to this seat. ”
Chen Ruitang, who was listening, spoke, and the debate in the room stopped, looking at him, wanting to hear what he could say.
Chen Ruitang said with a smile: "Yu Daoyou and Mo Daoyou's views are reasonable, Yun Daoyou and Qi Daoyou's opinions are not wrong, and all of you are also thinking about my Penglai Pavilion and my human race." This seat has a little superficial opinion, and I would like to invite you to listen to it. ”
"Chen Daoyou, please speak, I'll listen to you. Several of the other Venerable Ones agreed.
"There is almost no suspense about the victory or defeat of the West Sea, the forces of the West Sea Demon Clan have been basically swept away by us, and the remaining Demon Clan is just surviving for a while, and after so many years of war, the Demon Clan must have lost a lot of strength. It would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity. Chen Ruitang said.
"As for Qi Daoyou's worries, it is not unreasonable, the Heavenly Demon Island is too far away from the four continents occupied by our human race, which is not conducive to us obtaining supplies and reinforcements. However, don't forget, we still have a place occupied by the human race, and it is not far from the Heavenly Demon Island, at least much closer than the four continents are to the Heavenly Demon Island. ”
Hearing this, several people present understood what Chen Ruitang meant. "What do you mean, the sea of stars?"
Chen Ruitang nodded and said, "It's the Sea of Stars." Although the Sea of Stars is lonely overseas, it has always been a nail inserted into the East China Sea by our side, and it is only more than 200,000 miles away from the Heavenly Demon Island, which can be said to be close to the four continents. In the battle of the Sea of Stars more than 300 years ago, the demon clan actually wanted to pull out this nail, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "Therefore, we can use the Sea of Stars as an outpost and supply point to invade Heavenly Demon Island to support our big battle on Heavenly Demon Island, which will solve the difficulties of our long-distance combat to a certain extent, and it is enough to support us to fight against the Demon Clan for a long time." ”
"Moreover, you should know that although the Heavenly Demon Island is one of the five continents, it is still too small compared to the other four continents, and the resources on the island are far less abundant than the four continents, which is not enough to support the demon clan to hold on for a long time. ”
"Therefore, we don't actually need to fight a tough battle, we just need to continue to attack and harass, and slowly consume the resources and strength of the demon clan, and when the resources of the demon clan are exhausted, it will be the day of our decisive battle with the demon clan! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Ruitang looked around at the several Venerable Beings present and asked, "What do you fellow Daoists think, is this method of battle feasible?"
The old man thought it was feasible. Yu Qiaoshan nodded.
The old man also thought he could give it a try. Mo Xuanxiu also agreed.
In fact, the strategy mentioned by Chen Ruitang is similar to the core of Yu Qiaoshan and Mo Xuanxiu's pursuit of victory, the difference is only that Yu Mo and Mo advocate an immediate decisive battle, while Chen Ruitang advocates besieging and attacking them but not attacking them for the time being. Therefore, Yu Qiaoshan and Mo Xuanxiu nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.
"What about the opinions of Yun Daoyou, Qi Daoyou, and Kongjian Daoyou?" Chen Ruitang looked at the three people.
"I think it's possible. Yun Yao said.
"We think it's possible. Qi Wangchuan and Sorumi also nodded.
In fact, what the three Venerables were worried about was that it would be difficult to conquer Heavenly Demon Island in a short time, so that the Penglai Pavilion army would fall into the quagmire of Heavenly Demon Island. Now Chen Ruitang's strategy has at least solved their concerns to a certain extent, so he agrees.
"Okay, since all the fellow Daoists think it's feasible, then it's decided. I also ask you to return to the sect, immediately recruit all the large and small sects to clear the enemy in the West Sea first, and then immediately turn to the Heavenly Demon Island after the war in the West Sea is over. Chen Ruitang ordered as the current Penglai Pavilion Master.
"Okay, see you in the West Sea. The Venerable nodded, and one by one they turned into clear light and disappeared here.
In the end, only Chen Ruitang was left looking at the vast blue waves in the east, and said to himself: "The big war is finally coming, and I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope that this time we can really achieve our strategic goal and sweep away the ...... of the Western Sea Siren Clan in one fell swoop."
