Chapter 732 Four Key Points

Ge Wenxuan’s heart moved and said:

“Great General, what do you mean ………”

Chi Guangbo smiled:

“Attack the heart!”

With a simple sentence, many of the shrewd characters present immediately understood Chi Guangbo’s thoughts.

The initiative to negotiate peace is to seize a greater advantage and to do so without bloodshed.

When the army has rested and stabilized the territory of Qingzhou, with provisions and munitions in place, and the State Master refines Qingzhou’s qi, then he will tear up the covenant and go north to crusade.

The big goal remains the same, with the added bonus of growing in strength and expanding your side’s advantage.

Ji Xuan nodded slightly:

“Pushing Da Bong to the end of his rope will inevitably lead to a frantic counterattack, and our army will suffer heavy casualties at that time; a smart hunter will know how to cast a net.

“Without the Supervisor, the Da Bong court is in a state of panic, and by proposing peace at this time, we are lifting a hole in the net, so that they will see hope and lose the courage to fight for their lives.

“And we can take advantage of the opportunity to grab favors and ask for money and food.”

Listening to his explanation, those generals who didn’t react instantly threw admiring glances towards Qi Guangbo.

As the saying goes, leading an army into battle and fighting alone are two different things; the latter just involves venting violence to your heart’s content, while the former is a technical endeavor.

While the group was still immersed in the joy of eradicating Supervisor Zheng and capturing Qingzhou, the Great General had already come up with a brilliant plan based on the situation and people’s hearts.

Ge Wenxuan set off down Chi Guangbo’s train of thought, thought of more, and snorted:

“Young Lord Ji Xuan, money and food are definitely needed, but the appetite might as well be a bit bigger. Da Feng is now no better than a fish on a chopping board, and if you want to talk to us, how can you do it without blood money.

“How can we not cede a few continents?”

The eyes of the generals snapped open, and then someone frowned:

“Isn’t this pushing Da Feng to the brink of extinction? According to me, it’s enough to stop at the right time and ask for money and food. Let’s spend Da Feng’s money and grain to recruit troops and horses, and then fight them in turn.

“If you have too big an appetite, you’ll end up with a basket instead.”

This is a relatively conservative approach.

Someone immediately retorted, “The Supervisor is gone, so what we say is what we say, and the court of Dafeng still dares to say “no”? Even if we ask the little emperor to issue an edict of offense, I’m sure he won’t dare to refuse.”

That’s what the radicals think.

Ji Xuan mused:

“The scale has to be grasped, a single act of greed will only backfire. Although Da Feng is without his Supervisor, don’t forget, gentlemen, where is Xu Qi’an?”

He looked around the crowd and analyzed in a resounding tone:

“Zhao Shou has been in the wilderness for many years, and without an official position, he will not die for the court of Dafeng, and so will Luo Yuheng. But Xu Qi’an is responsible for the fate of the country, and if Da Feng dies, he will be martyred.

“Therefore, he will definitely sway the general situation of the court next, this person’s character would rather bend than bend, pushing too much will only make him desperate and burn with us.

“Of course, the Yunzhou Army’s entry into the Central Plains is already tenfold, and he is only a third-ranked person who can’t turn the tide. But the Great General’s plan of peace talks is definitely about to fall through.”

Ge Wenxuan wanted to speak but did not refute, considering Ji Xuan’s status.

Duk Duk!

Qi Guangbo knocked on the desktop, interrupting the crowd’s discussion and smiled:

“Zisu, your vision is still shallow, only seeing the contrasting strengths of the two sides, only seeing Xu Qi’an’s disposition.”

Ji Xuan bowed his head slightly:

“Please, Great General, enlighten me.”

Qi Guangbo was his enlightened teacher.

Chi Guangbo slowly said:

“Yongxing, this little emperor, has more than enough conservatism and less than enough vigor; for such a monarch, the Supervisor Zheng is his last backbone. In the event of the death of the Supervisor Zheng, do you think he will throw himself into a desperate and deadly battle, or accept our peace talks?”

“Of course it’s a choice to accept.” Ge Wenxuan laughed.

Chi Guangbo nodded and continued:

“Next are the court officials, Wang Zhenwen is bedridden, Wei Yuan died in Jingshan City, and the rest, whether they are greedy or good, are worse off. So for this peace talk, the only obstacle is Xu Qi’an.

“But the interests of the young emperor and Xu Qi’an are different; to the young emperor, begging for peace will stabilize the situation, and he will be at peace without war. At the very least, he can also conjure up a period of peace, allowing Da Feng to catch his breath.

“But to Xu Qi’an, this would mean that there would be no more hope for a turnaround. The two of them, therefore, must be centrifuged.”

Zhuo Haoran stroked his chin and said:

“So, this plan of the Great General is a two birds with one stone. If it comes to fruition, there will be food if you want it, money if you want it, and you can also force the court to cede land without moving a single soldier. If it doesn’t work, it can also make Xu Qi’an and the young emperor centrifuged, and it would be even better if there’s any chaos.”

If a butcher like Zhuo Haoran understood it, of course the others wouldn’t be unable to understand it.

Ji Xuan was convinced.

Chi Guangbo continued:

“That Xu Qi’an is a piece of Subterranean Dragon City’s heartache, a piece of the State Master’s heartache. In the past, he had Wei Yuan and the Supervisor Zheng to protect him, and he was unscrupulous.

“Now, we’re going to let this famous Xu Yinluo know what the sky is high and the sea is wide.”

Zhuo Haoran and the other generals laughed and agreed:

“What the Great General said is very true, without Supervisor Zheng and Wei Yuan, what is he, Xu Qi’an, who dares to call the shots with the State Master and with Subterranean Dragon City. It’s not likely that he’s scared like a quail right now, trembling in fear.”

“Xu Qi’an is just a bigger name, in terms of cultivation, our Young Lord Ji Xuan is also a Third Grade.”

“However, perhaps there’s no need for the State Master to make a move at all, Young Lord Ji Xuan will be able to kill this son with his hands.”

“Refine him into a blood elixir and use it to enhance Young Lord Ji Xuan’s cultivation.”

The generals either cursed or laughed.

Ji Xuan was silent for a moment and said in a single word:

“I’d like to see how Xu Qi’an can handle himself, and what he can do to turn the tables with just a third grade martial artist.”

He couldn’t wait to fly to the capital immediately to see Xu Qi’an’s face full of unwillingness and helplessness.

Ge Wenxuan laughed:

“He can’t turn over a new leaf, even if he immediately ascends to the second grade, he’s no match for the teacher and the Garuda Tree Bodhisattva, not to mention the sealed body.”

Ji Xuan immediately let out a cold laugh.

Chi Guangbo said again:

“After the celebration banquet is over, immediately proceed with this plan and make sure to spread the news, the more exaggerated the better. Whether or not the State Master will be able to gain another several continents of qi luck depends on this move. For the specific details of the peace talks, Wen Xuan, pay a visit to the State Master later and ask his opinion.”

With Yunzhou’s current troop strength, asking for too much territory would be a liability instead, and it also depends on the current state of the State Master to see if he can eat that much territory.

Ge Wenxuan laughed, “Yes!”

………..

Clear Cloud Mountain.

Zhao Shou, who was sitting quietly in the bamboo loft, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the shadows under the table.

A shadow drilled out, expanded, and transformed into a human form, and it was none other than Xu Qi’an.

“You’re finally back.”

Zhao Shou nodded.

“I just went to the Sithian Supervisor and didn’t see the Supervisor, so I came here.”

Xu Qi’an nodded and said:

“Is the Superintendent dead or alive?”

Zhao Shou said, “The Great Founder will not be destroyed, and the Supervisor Zheng will not die. He should be sealed.”

With regard to the Warlock system, Confucianism still understands it more thoroughly, and knows some hidden secrets that the onlookers do not know.

Despite never believing that Supervisor Zheng would die, it wasn’t until he heard this reply that Xu Qi’an truly felt relieved and asked:

“The supervisor is doing this deliberately? Could he have left something behind?”

Zhao Shou thought for a moment and said:

“I don’t think so, if it’s deliberate, I really can’t think of anything that’s worth him putting his life on the line and pushing Da Bong into the abyss of defeat.

“If he knew about this ahead of time, then he wouldn’t have gotten into the game.”

Mamoru Zhao was unaware of Hatsune’s backhandedness, and with his own eyesight, he gave his analysis.

Supervisor Zheng is really planted this time ……… Xu Qi an sighed.

When he learned that the Primordial Supervisor was the owner of the great tomb that the Chai family had guarded for generations, Xu Qi’an was prepared in his heart.

Even though the Supervisor is able to peer into the future, what if the Hatsuneyoshi has a way to refrain?

Any system has weaknesses, just as a snake has seven inches.

The Superintendent is not a god either.

Xu Qi’an tells Zhao Shou about the Chai family.

“I see ………,” Zhao Shou dawned on him, musing for a moment:

“I think that even if the Supervisor was caught off guard and blundered into capture, he should have considered such a possibility. Ordinary people still save for a rainy day, let alone him.

“However, with the loss of the Supervisor, the Daifong is already in jeopardy.

“Xu Qi’an, how should you conduct yourself?”

Being responsible for the fate of the country, fate will be linked with the court, the country is destroyed, the supervisor is about to die, Xu Qi’an will die as well.

Xu Qi’an said:

“That’s why I came to see you.”

Throughout the court, the only one who can discuss with him is the Confucian system bearer in front of him, a great Confucian of the peak of the third grade.

Zhao Shou pondered for a moment and said:

“First, you have to understand who the enemy is.”

Xu Qi’an replied:

“Xu Pingfeng, the Black Lotus, the Gala Tree, and the White Emperor.”

Having been to the Heavenly Superintendent, he realized that after the end of the transmission that day, Sun Xuanji had risked life and death to probe the situation and discovered the existence of the White Emperor.

Zhao Shou asked immediately:

“Why would the White Emperor want to deal with the Supervisor?”

Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment:

“I suspect the supervisor is the gatekeeper ………”

Immediately, he informed Zhao Shou of the hidden secrets of the Gatekeeper, as well as the identity of the White Emperor as a member of the Great Desolate Clan.

Zhao Shou was silent for a moment and couldn’t help but pinch his brows and sigh:

“So it seems that it’s a situation of immortality, Xu Qi’an ah Xu Qi’an, are you really the one who is blessed with good fortune?”

I think you’re the one with the bad luck.

After spouting off, Zhao Shou pulled the topic back and said:

“There’s something I have to tell you, before Supervisor Zheng left for battle, he asked me to borrow the Confucian Sage Carving Knife and the Sub-Sage Confucian Crown, he should follow Wei Yuan’s example and summon the Confucian Sage Soul.”

Xu Qi’an’s pupils contracted slightly in disbelief:

“If there is a Confucian Sage Ying Soul out there, how can he lose?!”

Zhao Shou shook his head:

“The details are unknown, so you have to be vigilant, there was definitely a super product out there.”

Super product out of ……… Xu Qi an repeated this sentence in his heart, suddenly a little desperate.

If there is a super character behind Yunzhou as a backer, how can he fight, even if he learns from Wei Gong and Supervisor Zheng, and makes the Confucian saint come to a plum, at best, he will only be a negative and meaningless.

Seeing his silence and stiff expression, Zhao Shou shook his head slightly.

The person who is under the most pressure nowadays is not Yongxing on the dragon chair, not the royal clansmen, not Yang Gong who is guarding the border, but the young man in front of him who is famous all over the world.

He’s the only backbone of Daewoong left.

“The old man speaks his mind, and you may refer to it for a moment or two.”

Zhao Shou knocked on the table, bringing the fuming Xu Qi’an back to his senses:

“One: the deficiencies in transcendental warfare must be remedied.

“That White Emperor and Garuda Tree are all in the First Grade realm, or have battle power comparable to a First Grade. Xu Pingfeng is a peak Second Grade Warlock, and his strength has risen after refining Qingzhou’s Qi Luck. Next is the Black Lotus.”

“Two: Become a chess player.

“Xu Qi’an, if you want to survive this calamity and keep Da Feng alive, work hard to become a chess player. Generals are easy to come by, but marshals are rare. You aren’t willing to keep being used as a pawn by Xu Pingfeng, by the Supervisor.”

“Three: replenish the issue of Da Feng’s grain and grass, and have a stable chassis to support you to play with Xu Pingfeng.

“If the court collapses, no matter how hard you work or how much your cultivation rises, it won’t help. Always remember that Da Feng is your foundation.”

“IV: Resurrecting Wei Yuan.

“Why did Xu Pingfeng wait for Wei Yuan’s death before he dared to rebel? During Wei Yuan’s reign, neither the Buddhist Sect, Yunzhou, nor the Witch God Sect dared to make a move. The Witch God Sect had to make a desperate move in order to help the Witch God unseal the seal, but what was the result? Stealing a chicken didn’t work.

“Wei Yuan’s terrible, not in personal force, he is a thousand years rare handsome talent, on the wisdom, Xu Pingfeng is not as good as him. In terms of leading troops to fight, Xu Pingfeng is even worse than him.

“If he were to come back to life, I wouldn’t dare to say that the Great Bong would be victorious, but at least he wouldn’t be in such a predicament.”

“How easy it is to talk about.” Xu Qi’an let out a bitter laugh.

Any one of these four points is as hard as it gets.

The first was the battle power of the Transcendent Realm, and currently the only one who had any hope of stepping into the first rank was Luo Yu Heng.

But one of her wasn’t enough.

The two first grades of the White Emperor and the Garuda Tree alone could sweep all the transcendent combatants of the Great Feng, while cultivation could not be achieved overnight, it was simply impossible to catch up in the short term.

Besides, the White Emperor must have had a bigger plan, and perhaps hid it.

Second, become a chess player.

This is considered to be the most reliable point, although Xu Pingfeng’s fatherly love is like a mountain, but his own filial heart is not afraid of him that is, the matter of using his brain, Xu Qi’an really has not been afraid of anyone. Although in the past year or so, has always been supervised by Zheng and Xu Pingfeng like a chess piece fiddling.

But then he was too weak to start from scratch, and who hasn’t been toyed with by the big boys when they’re weak?

Then there is the issue of food and drink.

No solution!

If Da Bong had money and food, he would not have been reduced to the present state, and the Supervisor is not even able to do anything about it. The most insoluble thing in the world – poor!

There’s nothing the gods can do.

Finally, resurrect Wei Gong.

Resurrecting Wei Gong s soul invoking streamer, the main material has been gathered, but it is still short of the last piece, turn around and find Song Qing to ask, how to find that thing ……… Xu Qi an got up and left:

“Don’t bother Dean.”

With a salute, he walked out of the Bamboo Pavilion.

Just outside, a familiar palpitating sensation came over me.

In the Earth Book chat group, Li Miaozhen transmitted the book:

[2: Recently, people have been spreading the news everywhere that Qingzhou has lost its defense and the Supervisor has been killed. Are the rebels of Yunzhou at the end of their tether, using such underhanded tactics?

[But this trick works extremely well indeed, and the people have been the most foolish since the beginning of time.]

All parties in the capital were anxious and terrified for several days before Li Miaozhen got the news.

After all, she did not have a well-developed intelligence network, and those in the know, Xu Qi’an and Huaiqing, were really not in the mood to pass on letters and chat these days.

She sent this summons, half trolling, half begging.
