The King of Beasts smiles but does not speak [Shan Hai Jing]

There are always some very mysterious things happening in life.

For example.You planned to find someone to trouble you, but before you could do anything, the other party came to your door first.

Hearing the news brought back by Shangzhuo, Liang Yu, who was originally practicing peacefully in Yuanxiang's lingering time, had a mysterious feeling.

Not only Liang Yu, but even Xiang Liu, who hadn't left yet, had a strange expression of "you seem to be teasing me".

However, the expression on the discussion was extremely serious, even a little anxious.

He knelt down on one knee, and repeated what he had said just now: "The Qing Barbarian vassal state 'Yimu State' has launched an attack on Xuan Ning's 'Rou Li State'!"

I didn't know that my family had formed an alliance with Xuan Ning, and I didn't even know that the strange man sitting at the top was Xuan Ning's courtier. The discussion was very straightforward: "Although Xuan Ning has nothing to do with us, but his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, if Qingman takes the lead ,us......"

Liang Yu interrupted Shangzhuo's heated speech by raising his hand, and looked at Xiangliu quietly.

...What a coincidence!

They just finished discussing the matter of attacking "Yimu Country" with the help of "Rou Li Country", but half an hour later, the other party launched an attack first? !

Although it sounds nicer to say that the other party is "preemptive strike", but......

But why did they decide to fight this front first?It is because this front is the easiest to win!

And Qingman actually chose the most likely to lose out of all the fronts and started the war without hesitation? !

What kind of spirit is this?This is the spirit of dedication to realize the unification of Kyushu as soon as possible without hesitating to take the knife first!

Of course, there is no reason to let go of this kind of fat that comes to your door for nothing.

However, since the opponent made the first move, the tactics would naturally need to be changed.

"We might as well take this opportunity to send more people to counterattack!" Xiang Liu thought for a while, and felt that it was completely simple and rude, "Next to Rouli Kingdom is my Xuanning's other vassal country——Wuqi Kingdom. This Wuqi Kingdom... .”

Frowning slightly, Xiang Liu said: "Although the royal family in Wuqi Kingdom are weak, they are all extremely intelligent. On the contrary, ordinary humans in Wuqi Kingdom are strong, but their IQs are... .”

"It doesn't matter." Liang Yu said lightly, "As long as they can fight, that's fine. But of course, you can't fight head-on as you said."

Hearing that his opinion was directly opposed by this person, Xiang Liu blushed, but he was very curious——

He disagrees with his opinion, but has his own way?

If it was him, how would the battle be fought?

Xiang Liu was meditating, but Liang Yu got up from the high seat, and said to him condescendingly: "You just mentioned that Wuqi Kingdom and Rouli Kingdom belong to your Xuanning Kingdom. Are there spirit beasts?"

Xiang Liu shook his head: "I, Xuanning, actually..." He sighed slightly, a little embarrassed, "Actually, the number of spirit beasts is very small."

Liang Yu wasn't even half surprised when he heard the words, he had naturally expected this to be the case.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few spirit beasts, how could a "general" like Xiang Liu take the risk to come to Penglai.And if it wasn't for not having enough spirit beasts to guard and expand the territory, Xuan Ning would not have fallen into such a state in hundreds of years.

Liang Yu's thoughts are naturally reasonable, but what he never imagined is——

Although there was a lack of spirit beasts, Xiang Liu didn't have to come.

He came because he expected it, not because of reality.

It's just that the connection among them is naturally beyond the imagination of Liang Yu, who "has no other distractions".All he was thinking about now was how to win Qingman, and he didn't even pay much attention to Xiangliu's embarrassment.

"What about Qingman?" Liang Yu turned to look at Shang Zhuo, "Are there any spirit beasts in the army sent by Qingman to attack Rouli Kingdom?"

Shangzhuo hurriedly bowed and replied: "According to the current information, there is not."

"Yes." Liang Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Send someone to continue investigating."

Xiang Liu looked at the back of Shang Zhuo who took the order and left, feeling completely puzzled in his heart.

"intelligence"?

"Investigate"?

What do these... all mean?

He looked up at Liang Yu who was thinking about something with his head down.

This man... what is going on in his mind?

Xiang Liu was looking at Liang Yu in rapt attention, but it might as well be that the other party's gaze fell on him suddenly.

After adjusting his expression slightly flustered, Xiang Liu said, "What's wrong?"

"Xiangliu." Liang Yu said, "I wonder if I could ask you to go out on my behalf?"

Although Liang Yu also had Shang Jue and Chi Yao, it can be seen from the last battle that Xiang Liu's strength is far superior to these two.

If his plan could be assisted by someone as powerful as Xiang Liu, it would be great.

Xiang Liu didn't expect this person to think about it for so long, and finally talked to him about this matter.

"Naturally." Xiang Liu was slightly surprised, "I, Xuan Ning, have formed an alliance with Jiu Ming, so naturally we should support each other."

What's more, this matter had the greatest relationship with Xuan Ning. As Xuan Ning's minister, it was only natural that he would go through life and death for Wang Yu.Even if Liang Yu didn't mention it, he wouldn't let Qingman go.

"That would be great." Liang Yu's expression became a little more relaxed.

Xiang Liu asked suspiciously, "You already have a solution?"

"En." Liang Yu nodded, naturally knowing that he couldn't mention "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" to this person, so he just explained his thoughts to him in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Xiang Liu became more and more shocked when he heard it, and finally he was silent for a long time before he stared and said: "You mean, let's ignore the Rouli country that is trapped by the Yimu country, and instead go to attack another small Qingman country next to the two countries." Miao Republic of China'?"

Liang Yu responded with "Right", and then explained: "Miao Minguo and I have attacked for a long time..."

It was only when he reached this point that he remembered that the former Lirong Kingdom seemed to belong to the Xuanning Kingdom, so it might be rude to mention it like this.

Therefore, he skipped the name of the country and directly said the following things: "It is similar to a country we attacked. Although the people are good at fighting, the country's land area is extremely small and it does not produce food."

In such a world where food is difficult to import and transportation is extremely inconvenient, the inability to produce food is the most fatal weakness, but no matter how powerful the people are, the country cannot be safe.

It is precisely because the Miao Republic does not produce food, and the citizens are all physically fit and prone to hunger, so once the main city of the Miao Republic is besieged, it is impossible for Qingman to ignore it.

Unless, they are willing to give up Miao Minguo.

Once Qingman decides to rescue, the army belonging to Yimu Kingdom that is attacking Rouli Kingdom will naturally retreat.Because the army of the Yimu Kingdom is the closest to the Miao Republic in the territory of the Qingman King, and it is also the only army that can rush to the rescue in time.

Liang Yu looked at Xiang Liu: "Remember I asked you just now, is there a country belonging to your Xuanning nearby?"

"Remember." Xiang Liu nodded, "Wu Qiguo."

Liang Yu continued: "Once the Yimu army withdraws, we will send the Wuqi army to attack."

Under the attack of the two sides, Yimu Kingdom, which has no spirit beasts, is naturally powerless to resist.

Miao Minguo, who could not be rescued in time, naturally had no choice but to surrender obediently, otherwise he would have to die of starvation and martyrdom just like Li Rong.

Xiang Liu listened carefully to Liang Yu's analysis, but felt that it was not very clear.

But this is not important, what is important is that he finally understands now——

This person is really amazing!

A subtle "I have a good eye" feeling overwhelmed Xiang Liu in an instant, so that Liang Yu finished everything and was about to listen to Xiang Liu's opinion, but saw this person's eyes froze.

Liang Yu: "..."

Is my speech so boring?As General Xuan Ning, how could he sneak away after listening? !

The two who are no longer on the same channel have their own minds.

Fortunately, after a while, Xiang Liu finally came back to his senses, and asked, "Then where should I go? Which country will I send to besiege Miao Minguo?"

Liang Yu answered these two questions one by one: "You go to besiege Miao Minguo and join Wuqi Kingdom."

"Wait!" Xiang Liu interrupted Liang Yu. Although he didn't quite understand it just now, he still heard the key information. "Isn't Wuqi Kingdom going to attack Yimu Kingdom?"

"Ah."

Xiang Liu was puzzled and said, "Then why do I have to lead Wuqi Kingdom to besiege Miao Minguo now? This..."

"Go to besiege first." Liang Yu explained, "Wait until the Yimu country withdraws its troops, and Wuqi country will transfer its troops to attack."

Xiangliu's face became even more puzzled: "But if the siege of Miao Minguo is withdrawn, won't Miao Minguo fight back?"

Liang Yu paused, as if he didn't understand why Xiang Liu asked such a question at all, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Will a country that has been besieged for many days and has no food have the strength to go after it?"

Xiang Liu: "..." Huh?Why didn't I think of...

Xiang Liu, who was completely suppressed by his IQ, completely gave up thinking, and has successfully entered the good state of "what does he say/do".

Then Liang Yu called Shuyan, Ruan Ruan and Yun Zhi in turn, and arranged tasks for them in turn.

After everything was ready, he said to Xiang Liu, "Next, I'll leave it to you."

Liang Yu looked at Xiang Liu with a rare kindness in his eyes: "I wish you a safe and triumphant return."

Xiang Liu got up and bowed, and took a deep look at Liang Yu: "Since it is for my Xuanning King Domain, I will naturally die."

for you......

It's even more like death.

***

A few days later, in the Qingman King's Domain, in the capital city of Qingman, and in the main hall.

Under the Huili throne stood a young man who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young man was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe, and although he was surrounded by spirit beast breath, his eyebrows could only be regarded as delicate, and obviously he didn't have much spiritual power.

At this time, he was frowning and lowering his head in distress, with a soft and deceitful appearance.

Opposite him, whom he feared so much, was an old man who seemed to be approaching an octogenarian age.

The old man was dressed in a long gown, and his eyes were full of hatred for the young man's appearance.

Seeing that he had said so much, the young man didn't even have any regrets, but lowered his head lower and lower. The old man sighed deeply, and remonstrated for the last time: "My lord, you should know that the domain of the Jiuming King belongs to Kyushu. The only king domain back then, now that it has come back after 300 years of silence, it is bound to avenge the belief in reunifying the Kyushu, so it is impossible for the Lord of Jiuming to let us Qingman go!"

This young man is the young master of the current Qingman, the young master who inherited the throne shortly after the death of the previous Qingman's master.

His name is Zhu Xi, and his name is He Ru. He is an extremely timid and fearful king.

At this time, hearing the old man's earnest teachings, the helplessness on the young man's face grew even stronger.

"I know..." He Ru Nuo Nuo said, "But, but I have tried my best before!"

He worked very hard to send troops to fight Xuanning's Rouli country, but now the Yimu army was seriously injured, Yimu rebelled against Qingman, and announced the surrender of the whole country to Jiuming.

Another country, Miao Minguo, was besieged to the point of starvation, and had also surrendered to the besieged Xuanning Kingdom.

Now they have lost two countries!What does this mean?this means--

They can't beat Jiu Ming and Xuan Ning at all? !

So why bother?

The old man was so angry that his body began to tremble, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Then you can't do such a foolish thing!"

Want to form an alliance with Jiuming Wangyu?

That Jiuming has the heart of jackals, tigers and leopards, so allying with it is like seeking skin with a tiger!

What's more, my master is afraid that the other party will not join with him, so he actually wants to cede the vassal state to Jiu Ming to please him! !

How unreasonable!Why is this unreasonable!

However, He Ru, who is usually the most incompetent and timid, rarely shows a toughness that is completely different from his usual painting style when he chooses this almost "surrender" action.

Regardless of the vassal he fears the most on weekdays——

No matter how much the old man named Shebishi and Qiu Li tried to persuade him, how could he refuse to give in at all!

Qiu Li was so angry that he trembled all over, and howled in his heart!

This is the punishment of heaven, do you want to recover the debt of treason that Qing Man owed 300 years ago for Jiu Ming? !

But no matter how angry Qiu Li was, since his master had made a decision and his determination was still so firm, he no longer had the right to resist.

After a deep sigh, Qiu Li saluted He Ru: "Since the master's mind is so firm, this subordinate will not repeat any more, I hope you...do it yourself!"

Seeing Qiu Li being so angry with him, He Ru couldn't bear it.

It's just that he really doesn't want to go against Jiu Ming.

Although he is cowardly, he is not stupid.This time Xuan Ning and Jiu Ming are allied, and the next target is either Qing Man or Xiang Su.

And this time in their battle between Qing Man and Jiu Ming and Xuan Ning, the disparity between the two sides has become extremely obvious.

Although Qingman has a vast kingdom, most of them are dull countries with only brute force.

The opponent doesn't need to send many people, just use a little brains to make yourself dead without a burial!

Not to mention...

What's more, their Qingman was originally Jiuming's courtiers, even if they surrendered, there would be no harm...

He is not very happy to be the domain owner, he is exhausted every day, and he has to watch people's faces all day long!

I don't want to be a long time ago, okay?

The more He Ru thought about it, the more gloomy and lost his face became, until the maid outside the door bowed and entered, and said softly: "My lord, the miss is here."

Joy instantly ignited in He Ru's eyes, and he looked at the little girl bouncing in from the door with great joy.

"Ranger!" He Ru squatted down and stretched his arms, the unhappiness was swept away from his face, "Why are you here?"

The little girl was wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, and a short jacket with a white ground and red thread trimming.

This child looks like a jade carving, and there is a sense of agility in the blink of an eye, obviously the aptitude for spiritual power is far superior to He Ru.

She happily threw herself into He Ru's arms, showing off her face and saying, "Brother!"

The little girl's name is He Rang, and her name is Wan Hu.She is the biological sister of He Ru, the lord of Qingman, and He Ru's only relative in this world.

"Brother." After the hug, the little girl keenly noticed the depression of her brother's eyebrows, "Is Master Shebishi making you unhappy again?"

Naturally, He Ru didn't want his baby sister to be bothered by these things like himself, so he restrained all his irritability and tried to make himself look more relaxed: "No, he even praised me today! Haha, brother is fine."

The little girl looked at him quietly, and after a while, she suddenly raised her hand and touched He Ru's head.

He Ru was taken aback by his sister's sudden action, and was about to ask aloud, but he heard the other party's childish/tender voice clearly falling into his ears——

"Brother, don't be afraid! Ranger is here, and Ranger will protect you!"

She looked like a little adult, holding He Ru's face hard, and said seriously: "Rang'er will definitely become very strong in the future! Rang'er will definitely be able to protect her brother, and she will also be able to protect Qingman well! "

He Ru stared blankly at his younger sister, and the mist that made his heart sour had risen in front of his eyes.

"I know." He Ru held his younger sister tightly in his arms, "Brother knows, brother trusts Rang'er."

Just because I know, because I believe, because I care!

So why not surrender?

Wouldn't there be no war?

Stubbornly "guarding" his territory, making his people precarious, and making many children like Rang'er face the threat of death day and night——

What is the meaning of such a "throne" obtained by trampling on the blood of the people?

The author has something to say:

I originally wanted to code to 9000, but failed, too sleepy... strive for [-] tomorrow! 【make a fist】

In addition, it must be said that every country and even every person in the text has different views.

Maybe they agree on some things and disagree greatly on others.These "viewpoints" are the opinions of the characters in the text, and do not represent my views~

So you may see a lot of diametrically opposed views in the future, and it's not because I have a fine score of 23333~

For example, He Ru, who appeared in this chapter, is a very important character, very, very important.His view on war is-unconditional anti-war.

***

In addition, a friend reminded me before, so let me say that the "numbers" of all the countries and all the spirit beasts that have appeared in the article so far are taken from the Shan Hai Jing!

Including the Yimu country (all citizens have only one eye), Wuqi country (no offspring), Rouli country (one hand and one foot bent knees), and Miao Minguo (Miao Minli surname, meat-eating) that appear in this chapter.

But because there is generally only one sentence about the country in the Book of Mountains and Seas, the other contents... are all in my imagination, which may be a bit ridiculous, but...but there are some contents in the Book of Mountains and Seas themselves It's ridiculous 2333333! !

Look at this Wuqi country, which has no children and grandchildren?How did this generation come about?If I don't help it round it up, Heavenly Dao will not be able to stand it anymore! _(:зゝ∠)_(Just kidding)
