Capítulo 1909: Chapter 1250: Open Fire!
In Jin Zhu’s heart, he subconsciously felt that Wei Yi would stubbornly defend his patch of land, go full throttle, recruit as many soldiers as possible, and wait for his arrival.
Then both sides would go all in, fighting to the death.
He thought this was a tacit understanding that needed no words.
But who knew he was purely being self-indulgent.
No wonder people would betray him; after being together for so long, he actually didn’t understand them at all. Who wouldn’t flee?
It proved that the relationship between the superior and subordinate was rely sharing the sa bed while dreaming different dreams, with no tacit understanding whatsoever. Just as Jin Zhu was holding his last swearing-in ceremony, the bad news or battle report urgently ca in.
Twelve regions simultaneously raised alarms, facing ard attacks, the situation was precarious and on the brink of disaster.
How outrageous!
Jin Zhu was furious, almost fainting in front of the entire army, quickly ending the swearing-in ceremony, and the top brass gathered in the Gathering Hall.
Unexpectedly, the Rebel Army launched an attack themselves, which was not rely provocation but an insult.
At the sa ti.
It also disrupted his entire plan.
“The situation has changed, Wei Yi has made a large-scale assault, attacking several of our regions, how do we handle this?”
Jin Zhu glared sharply, ready to smash the table.
His instincts were still sharp, imdiately sensing the strategic change of the Rebel Army, which posed a tricky problem for him.
This ant he would lose the chance to eliminate Wei Yi in one go and might be dragged into an endless whirlpool.
Like playing whack-a-mole.
Extinguishing one place, only for another to pop up, just thinking about it was unbearable.
The generals exchanged glances, caught off guard.
“The Allied Army has already set off, we need to make adjustnts quickly.”
The United Army had advanced ahead, moving towards strategic areas according to the plan, but now evidently plans had changed.
“General, I think this shows Wei Yi’s anxiety. He knows his strength is insufficient, so he seeks to disrupt our position. I suggest ignoring it and continuing with the original plan to strike the base of the traitors.”
A brigade commander advised.
“No, who knows if Wei Yi is still there. General, I believe this is not just a smokescreen. Wei Yi likely plans to engage us in prolonged and attrition warfare. If we ignore him, letting him rampage in our territory, the consequences will be severe.”
“But there are so many places, how do we manage? If we let Wei Yi lead us by the nose, we fall right into his trap!”
“Ignore it? Are we waiting for him to set fires everywhere or directly strike at Haiguang? Are you a spy planted by Wei Yi?!”
“Damn you! I think it’s you that’s suspicious! Collaborating with Wei Yi to disrupt morale!”
Pandora’s Box has been opened.
Batulu’s defection was not an isolated event, causing sustained and widespread influence, planting seeds of suspicion within the Allied Army, which fundantally shook the Allied Army’s foundation.
If there’s no trust, keeping suspicion, how can a team possibly be strong?
At the sa ti.
This is also Jin Zhu’s deepest scar in his heart.
He knows what disadvantages this distrust can bring, yet he’s powerless to change it.
The one who tied the bell must untie it.
The only way to nd the Allied Army’s flaws and bring it back to unity is to use Wei Yi’s head.
“Bang.”
Jin Zhu slamd the table heavily, finally silencing the noisy argunt.
“Mu Lun, what do you think.”
Ignoring others.
The seed planted by Batulu did not spare him either.
Among so many subordinates, currently he could fully trust only the Grand Steward, who had been diligently working.
Mu Lun pondered slightly, then spoke steadily.
“Wei Yi’s treachery is diverse; if left unchecked, it’s possible he may take advantage of our troop movents to infiltrate. General, I suggest we adjust our strategy.”
Jin Zhu remained expressionless, unmoved.
“Continue.”
Mu Lun stepped forward, heading towards the central sandbox in the Gathering Hall.
“If it’s not unexpected, Wei Yi’s aim is to lure us out, making us exhaust ourselves fighting fires while so many places simultaneously sound the alarms, indicating that Wei Yi has conducted large-scale dispersal of forces and is progressing on multiple fronts. Creating a spectacle while keeping his main force hidden.”
Jin Zhu thoughtfully nodded silently, evidently quite agreeable to the Housekeeper’s analysis.
Thanks to the prior reminder, indeed the counterpart acted accordingly. This period of study in military theory was showing its initial results.
“So now it’s ti to make a decision.”
Mu Lun picked up the command stick beside the sandbox, indicating as he spoke.
“To counter Wei Yi’s sche, I consider the best solution is to temporarily abandon the Xunan Dao area.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
Astonishnt filled the hall.
Discussion arose.
Accompanied by strange glances towards this Grand Steward.
Was the Grand Steward also…
Distrust within the Allied Army was indeed too severe, reaching the verge of collapsing.
Even Mu Lun started to suffer suspicion.
“Abandon Xunan Dao?”
Even Jin Zhu was shocked.
Xunan Dao was a fairly large area, occupying about a quarter of the current Allied Army’s territory, not sothing one could soothe without causing pain.
Mu Lun’s expression was calm, moving the command stick above the sandbox, explaining unhurriedly: “Just temporarily abandoning it. Wei Yi is like a virus, and quite communicable. The best way to deal with a virus is first to stop its spread. After abandoning Xunan Dao, as long as we hold these two natural passes, it will choke off Wei Yi’s infiltration paths. He will be confined to Xunan Dao, and then we can slowly eliminate him, bit by bit.”
