Chapter 979: Chapter 12: Breaking Army’s Plot, Gold King’s Seal, and the Nine-colored Divine Deer’s Shock
“Then what the Heavenly Strategy Mansion needs to do is not [expansion].”
“But rather [contain the Wolf King], [developing oneself].”
“We are guests here, we need to reverse the situation, and our gains must be swift, far exceeding the Wolf King’s, to even have a chance. Currently, this is just barely a foothold.”
“Firstly, the Demon Sect is deeply rooted in the Western Regions. Since they already know the Lord’s location, it is to be expected that there will be nurous troubles. Although the Lord’s martial skills are strong, there’s no need for him to worry personally; however, the civilians relying on him cannot withstand the Demon Sect’s ans.”
“It’s always said, don’t chase a cornered enemy.”
“But this ti we cannot do that; we must thoroughly drive the Demon Sect away from the Lord’s vicinity and destroy them.”
“If we don’t take the opportunity to crush the Demon Sect, we fear endless future troubles.”
“This is the first danger.”
“Secondly, the forces in the Western Regions are deeply entangled. Currently, the Lord’s swift gains are due to them not yet reacting to the Lord’s appearance. Once they do react, they will certainly block the Lord.”
“The products of the Western Regions are singular. If trade routes are blocked for a long ti, the harm will be great. Within a month, people’s hearts will scatter, and no matter how good the policy or grand the ambition is, it is false if people do not have enough to eat.”
“This is the second danger.”
Breaking Army pointed out the two current dangers facing the Qilin Army.
Li Guan said: “There is also a third danger.”
The Purple-eyed Strategist was surprised and asked: “What?”
“Please teach , Lord, for I have not discovered it.”
Li Guanyi huffed for a long while. Unable to bear it, Nangong Wung slapped the table with his palm and raised his phoenix eyes, speaking with majestic presence:
“Poverty!!!”
Li Guanyi: “…”
Breaking Army: “…”
Li Guan said: “Indeed, currently in this town, the original population plus those who ca later are over twenty thousand, and with one thousand captives, that’s over thirty thousand. If added with the Golden Scimitar Cavalry, that’s forty thousand.”
“It has already exceeded the population limit of this small town.”
“To be honest, even if we send people out to buy food, the reserves in the whole town are constantly being consud. The current prosperity of this place cannot support such a large population.”
Breaking Army pondered: “I see.”
“Lord, you want to capture the city of the Demon Sect.”
“The capital of [Aqini Country], this country’s north and south span five to six hundred miles, east to west four hundred miles. Three hundred years after the country’s demise, the sphere of influence of this great city still covers this area. This is the issue I ntioned.”
“Lord, we must capture a fortress-level city now.”
“Then we should connect with the Xue Family’s Trade Guild as previously agreed.”
Breaking Army smiled: “After all, the Turkic in the grasslands have cut off the Xue Family’s trade routes, and now Chen Country and Ying Country are constantly at war. A large comrcial family like the Xue Family, wanting to survive will have to focus on the Western Regions.”
“And the Xue Family’s Trade Guild in the Western Regions cooperating with the Lord, the ‘Central Plains Traveling rchant,’ isn’t it only natural?”
He picked up a cup and said softly:
“Besides, the transactions with [the Seven Kings Tribe] have not stopped either.”
“Occupying this city ans we can trade warhorses, swords, and sabers with the grasslands above, and trade salt, iron, tea wares, and silk with the Central Plains below. Then use silk to trade with the chiefs of various tribes in the Western Regions, establishing the Lord’s foothold.”
“At that ti, it won’t be the surrounding forces blocking our trade routes, but us holding their lifeline.”
Li Guan paused in thought.
This trade route from Jiangnan to the Western Regions and then to the grasslands was casually set two years ago.
At that ti, he was still in Jiangzhou City.
Just a young man riding fast through the quiet streets of Jiangzhou after the rain, going to chat idly with Elder Zu in the temple, while Breaking Army, as a strategist of the Turkic Seven Kings, arrived in the capital where the grand sacrificial ceremony of Chen Country was held.
At that ti, during a casual conversation between Breaking Army and Li Guanyi, who was just an Imperial Guard, they placed an insignificant piece in the Western Regions trade route, which has now beco the core for revitalizing the situation of the Qilin Army after entering the Western Regions.
Had preparations been made two years in advance for this?
Li Guanyi sighed.
“With the help from my strategist, it is worth more than a thousand troops!”
Breaking Army shook his head and said: “I can only point out the general trend, yet you, Lord, have truly co here within two years. A wise leader seeks strategists, but soone like , an exceptional genius, is also looking for soone like you, Lord.”
Li Guanyi couldn’t help but smile.
Truly, you nonchalantly describe yourself as an exceptional genius.
Breaking Army stroked his chin and said: “However, the style of the Demon Sect is indeed deeply entrenched, having infiltrated different corners of the entire Western Region. Um, Lord, what level are you aiming for?”
“Completely wipe out, partially control?”
“Does the Lord want a Breaking Army battle or a full army battle?”
The Purple-eyed Strategist sat quietly there, extended his fingers, and smiled:
“I have three strategies.”
Li Guanyi laughed heartily: “All are top-notch strategies?”
“Very well then.”
The young Lord rose, reached out to grasp the three fingers of Breaking Army, and then pressed them down, saying: “I want the best!”
Breaking Army’s mouth curved up, giving a hearty laugh: “Good!”
Li Guanyi and Breaking Army reunited, and after their conversation, both felt pleasantly fulfilled. Li Guanyi finally had his strategist return, and Breaking Army had a Lord who fully trusted him, allowing him to deploy his sches freely.
The two gathered, like a dragon soaring in the sky, a fish swimming in the ocean, now free to fight boldly.
According to Breaking Army’s requirents, Mr. Lei personally took Breaking Army to observe the entire town’s situation, including Bature’s group, little girls like Saatanati, the original Xiao Dayin’s guard team, and the captured Huyan City Lord’s ten thousand cavalry.
