20demayo Chapter 431
Chapter 431
Yongcheng, Xuehong's temporary palace.
"What exactly does the Supreme Sect want to do? Even if they gather forces to retaliate against the Tianwu Dynasty, there is no need to make such a big fuss. Long Tian is not easy to mess with. Isn't this going to provoke internal strife?"
Xuehong wandered back and forth, thinking about the intentions of the Supreme Sect.
On the surface, the Supreme Sect wants to retaliate and avenge the loss of its own Holy Son, but after arriving in the chaotic area, it has not taken any action, but instead continues to provoke conflicts within the sect.
This is inconsistent with the purpose of the Supreme Sect in any way.
The abnormal behavior of the Supreme Sect has attracted the attention of the Liyang Royal Family. The relevant investigation is underway, but there is no progress for the time being.
The investigation takes time, but Xuehong has no time to wait.
"Your Majesty, if the Supreme Sect continues, I am afraid that a war will be launched. At that time, the situation here will be unstable, which may give the Tianwu Dynasty an opportunity. What do you think, should we stop it?"
The situation here is relatively stable, and no one wants a big change.
The Supreme Sect and Long Tian from the Northern Territory are both forces that cannot be ignored.
Even though the Liyang Dynasty is willing to see the two fight and consume their strength, they do not want their war to affect the overall situation.
"Stop it for sure. Long Tian has already issued a statement. If we don't care, this kid will definitely fight back with his character."
"Long Tian is not from our dynasty and will not care about the interests of the court. Even if he can't beat the Supreme Sect, Long Tian can retreat calmly. Even if the court wants to investigate, there is no sufficient reason."
"Order someone to go to the Supreme Sect to see what they are going to do?"
Xue Hong did not have accurate information at this time, and did not dare to act rashly. He could only stabilize both sides first.
"Your Majesty, we must also make corresponding arrangements. Now that the Supreme Sect has taken action, Long Tian has suffered a loss. If there is no clear statement, this kid will not swallow this breath."
It is obvious that it is not Long Tian's character to passively take a beating. Even if they were in Long Tian's position, they would not watch the Supreme Sect kill their people.
If the Supreme Sect does not give an explanation and compensation, Long Tian will definitely not give up.
Xue Hong is in a headache. The arrival of these two forces was originally a great help to him, but there was a conflict between the two, which made it difficult to deal with.
"Report the matter to the court and King Kaoshan and ask for their opinions."
"Order the army to prepare for war. If things get out of control, we must stop them."
Xue Hong is targeting the Tianwu Dynasty, and the direction of the army is now deployed on the side of the Tianwu Dynasty.
Originally, Licheng was watched by Hecheng, and Long Tian was also developing in that direction, which reduced a lot of pressure on Xue Hong.
But in the current situation, if there is a problem in Hecheng, Licheng will intervene again, and Long Tian alone, Xue Hong does not think he can withstand the two sides.
The mobilization of the army takes time, and during this period, the offensive of the Supreme Sect has become more and more fierce, and the northern border has shown signs of not being able to hold on.
Of course, this was deliberately done by Long Tian.
Long Tian was trading space for time at this moment, and was hurrying to deploy troops.
Bai Qi ignored the provocation of the Supreme Sect at this time, but led troops to deploy on the side of Licheng. Knowing the relationship between the Supreme Sect and the Tianwu Dynasty, Long Tian had to guard against Licheng.
A part of the army in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has been mobilized, and is now near Baicheng.
The Zhenbei Army recruited by Wu Qi now has a total strength of 2 million, and is now rushing from the territory of Qi to the chaotic area.
However, the outside world is not optimistic about this army.
Although there are many people, most of them are ordinary people. They are okay for transporting supplies. On the battlefield, these people are not even cannon fodder.
Some people think that Long Tian is at his wit's end and has no other way, so he even uses ordinary people.
They don't know that this 2 million army has been transformed into the Zhenbei Army. Although it has not reached the peak of strength, it is enough to fight, and even when they arrive at the battlefield, their strength can be transformed.
"Cao Zhengchun, order someone to inform Xuehong again. If the court still doesn't take action, I will fight back."
"Also send someone to the Liyang Dynasty to inform the court directly. I have no choice but to fight back. If this affects the entire battle situation, I will not be responsible."
After a few days, Long Tian lost nearly ten cities again. Even though the Zhenbei Army was well prepared and consciously gave up some cities, the loss of troops was still unavoidable.
Long Tian has given enough face to the Liyang Dynasty and has basically made preparations during this time. If the court does not take action again, Long Tian will fight back.
Long Tian is creating a tense atmosphere and taking away his own responsibility. More importantly, it gives the Supreme Sect enough time to arrange, as long as they attack Yongcheng, Long Tian's chance will come.
In Yongcheng, Xue Hong was in a state of panic.
The people sent to the Supreme Sect never returned, and no news came back, which made Xue Hong realize that something was wrong.
Even if the Supreme Sect wanted to kill Long Tian, it would not attack the people of the court. Now it seems that the envoy did not come back, and it was obviously killed by the Supreme Sect.
The Supreme Sect did this, and it seemed to be targeting him, Xue Hong.
"What does King Kaoshan mean?"
Xue Hong had no opinion at a critical time and could only follow the arrangements of the court.
"Your Highness, King Kaoshan suggested that stability should be the priority, and the court army should not be radical."
In the chaotic area of Xiaoguo, the offensive of the Tianwu Dynasty has been very fierce recently, which has involved Xue Wuya's great energy. He even went on the field and fought several games with the masters of the Tianwu Dynasty.
In this situation, Xue Wuya naturally did not want internal strife to occur on Xue Hong's side.
"Stable? How can I keep it stable?"
"The Supreme Sect is aggressive. Long Tian seems to have suffered a lot of losses, but in fact he has taken the initiative to give in. If we don't make our attitude clear and stop the Supreme Sect's actions, Long Tian will definitely take action."
The Zhenbei Army's voluntary concession could not be hidden from Xuehong's intelligence network.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is Long Tian's cowardice and he dare not confront the Supreme Sect head-on.
But in Xuehong's view, this is clearly that the Zhenbei Army is not prepared and is delaying the outbreak of the war, and is actively preparing for the war later.
Xuehong also knew the news that the army in Qi State was rushing to the chaotic area. He would not think that Long Tian would do such a meaningless move.
The 2 million troops are composed of ordinary people on the surface, but who knows if there is any trick in it. If Qi State secretly sent the main army to replace 2 million ordinary people, then the combat effectiveness of this army is questionable.
Although Xuehong was not sure whether Qi would do this, nor did he know whether there would be an agreement between Long Tian and Qi, but Xuehong believed one thing: Long Tian would never tolerate it forever.
