Chapter 822 Xuanyuan's Decision
You know I have ulterior motives, and I know you're just pretending to be reserved... Both of our intentions are out in the open.
When we enter Quezhou, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will reap the benefits.
As for who is the snipe and the clam, and who is the fisherman, that depends on their abilities.
Who can be sure who will be at the forefront?
"So, which rebel kings should we send?"
Xuanyuan Po turned to look at Mo Ranchen and asked.
"I think we should send Li Mi from Wagang Village with his troops."
"Although Li Mi has always had his own ulterior motives and his character is not very good, he is still quite capable."
"Furthermore, they also hold the formidable army of Wagangzhai. Even if they are not a match for the Jiuxiao Army, they should be able to handle the Jiuxiao Army's initial probing."
Mo Ranchen pondered for a moment, then tapped the map lightly with his finger.
"In addition, we can select a few chieftains from the southern barbarian tribes under our lord's command to lead their troops there as well."
"The Southern Barbarians have always been good at fighting in the mountains and forests, which can create some trouble for the Nine Heavens Army by exploiting the terrain. Moreover, the Southern Barbarians are stubborn and not so easily swayed by Li Mi."
Mo Ranchen looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xuan Yuanpo at the head of the table and continued speaking.
"Alright, as you say, but we still need to be fully prepared in case the Nine Heavens Army launches a sudden attack."
Xuanyuan Po lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Go back and tell Xiang Yu that we agree to his proposal, but how to proceed is up to us."
"Rest assured, we, the thirty-six rebel kings, will not disappoint him."
As he spoke, he looked down at Ji Bu, who was waiting quietly.
"Of course, I will convey Alliance Leader Xuanyuan's message to Overlord."
Upon hearing this, Ji Bu slightly cupped his hands in greeting and said.
After saying this, he turned and left the council tent, secretly rejoicing that his trip had gone smoothly.
The decision made by Xuan Yuanpo and Mo Ranchen, representing the thirty-six rebel kings in the south of the Great Xuan Dynasty, will directly affect the course of the entire war in the south of the Great Yong Dynasty.
After Ji Bu turned and left, Xuan Yuanpo and Mo Ranchen continued to discuss the details.
This deployment of troops to Quezhou presents both an opportunity and a challenge.
If handled properly, they can not only break the current deadlock but also gain an advantageous position in future battles.
"Ranchen, what do you think of Xiang Yu?"
Xuanyuan Po suddenly asked.
"Xiang Yu was incredibly brave and a rare and unparalleled general of his time, but he was also stubborn and sometimes lacked foresight."
"The fact that this arrogant overlord proposed to join forces this time was probably out of desperation. It seems that the Nine Heavens Army of Yunzhou really put a lot of pressure on him."
Mo Ranchen pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"That's right, the strength of the Nine Heavens Army has put pressure on him, but we can't underestimate him because of that."
"After all, with Xiang Yu, the Overlord, as a top-tier warrior, the strength of the Chu army in Jiangdong was indeed not to be underestimated."
Xuan Yuanpo nodded, then estimated the comparison of the two sides' combat strength, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
"Um..."
"Therefore, we must make the most of this opportunity, but we must also be careful to avoid being bitten back by Xiang Yu."
Mo Ranchen responded, looking at the Jiangdong region and Quezhou of the Dayong Dynasty on the map, his gaze lingering, as if he were thinking about something.
The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!
The two exchanged a smile, their eyes revealing a tacit understanding.
A strategy of using one tiger to devour another?
Have you not heard that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away?
When their rebel army enters Quezhou, whether they stay or leave, and what specific actions they take, will no longer be under the control of the Jiangdong Chu army.
Otherwise, if their rebel army couldn't win, they could just pack up and leave, but the Chu army of Jiangdong wouldn't be able to escape.
...
Not long after, Xuanyuan Po convened a meeting of the rebel kings in the central tent of the camp. The tent was brightly lit with candles, and the figures of the various rebel kings appeared either calm or anxious in the flickering firelight.
Xuanyuan Po sat in the main seat, his armor appearing even more majestic in the candlelight. Mo Ranchen stood to one side, expressionless as he watched the chaotic scene below.
Despite the impressive appearance of the thirty-six rebel kings in the south of the Great Xuan Dynasty, a large portion of their army and even the rebel kings themselves were just a motley crew.
Of these thirty-six rebel kings, very few were actually worth considering.
"Gentlemen, I have gathered you all here today to discuss an important matter."
"Our thirty-six rebel kings have been confronting Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, in the south of the Great Xuan Dynasty for a long time. His policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields has left us in a dilemma."
"If this continues, not only will we be unable to make progress, but we risk exhausting our strength."
Xuan Yuanpo's voice was calm and steady, penetrating the noise inside the tent and drawing everyone's attention to him.
The tent was silent. The various rebel kings either frowned in thought or nodded in agreement, all knowing that what Xuanyuan Po said was true.
However, there is always a way out.
"Recently, a special envoy from Xiang Yu of the Chu Army in Jiangdong, which is adjacent to us in the Dayong Dynasty, came and proposed a plan to join forces. Xiang Yu wants to use our strength to jointly fight against the Dayong Dynasty and the Jiuxiao Army, in order to divide and rule them."
"While this strategy is not entirely in our favor, it has opened a new door for us."
Xuan Yuanpo abruptly changed the subject, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Indeed, the Nine Heavens Army is powerful. If we can join forces with the Chu army, we can at least temporarily relieve the pressure Yang Jian is putting on us."
"Moreover, the Great Yong Dynasty is not a monolithic entity. If we can stir up some trouble within it, we might be able to find a new way out for ourselves."
Mo Ranchen took over the conversation at the right moment, glanced at the expectant rebel kings below, and slowly said.
Inside the tent, the rebel kings began whispering and discussing amongst themselves, some with delighted expressions, while others remained skeptical.
"But for us to join forces, someone needs to go first to Quezhou of the Dayong Dynasty to find out the truth and open up a new situation for us."
"This mission will not be easy; it requires someone with both wisdom and courage to take on the task."
Xuanyuan Po raised his voice, interrupting the crowd's discussion.
After speaking, Xuanyuan Po deliberately paused, his gaze sweeping around the tent before finally settling on Li Mi, who had remained silent throughout.
To be honest, as a powerful ruler, Xuanyuan Po was not someone who lacked tolerance. At least before he had fully achieved his goals, he could tolerate Li Mi, who had a wicked heart.
However, Li Mi was actually quite capable; he was resourceful and meticulous.
Unfortunately, Li Mi focused most of his energy on the Great Xuan Dynasty opposite him, as Xuan Yuanpo was holding off Yang Jian's pressure.
Instead, after Xuanyuanpo withstood the pressure head-on, Li Mi secretly began to stir up trouble behind Xuanyuanpo's back.
Although Xuanyuan Po didn't take him seriously, he didn't care about Li Mi's threats.
But toads don't bite, they're just annoying!
