After the immortal disappeared

In the tribute land south of Yao State, another powerful general Chen Chuihua learned of the death of King Yao and quickly dispatched troops!

Yao State originally had three famous generals, Xue Zongwu, Tu Han, and Chen Chuihua.

Xue Zongwu guarded the northern border, while Chen Chuihua guarded the southern border. Like Xue Zongwu, he usually stayed in his tribute land and could not easily return to the country.

On King Yao’s 59th birthday, Chen Chuihua did not return to the capital to celebrate because his mother and young son died in the summer. This was a sign of bad luck in the eyes of the Yao people, so he could not return to the capital, lest he bumped into the birthday star’s luck.

However, later facts proved that there was no need for him to bump into it, as King Yao’s luck had long gone.

He Lingchuan saw the news and smiled:

“Xue Zongwu died in my hands, Tu Han also fled the capital and joined Yuwen Yong in the north to start an uprising, and Chen Chuihua was probably sitting on pins and needles in the south.”

Bai Tan killed King Yao and took Tianshui City with his own hands, showing his wolfish ambition. Chen Chuihua knew that he would not tolerate him and would come to take over Southern Xinjiang sooner or later.

"But Bai Tan, with the power of a great victory and the publicity of the gods' assistance, Chen Chuihua might not dare to touch him at this time."

"No one wants to be the first bird to stand out. Even if you beat Bai Tan, there are still wolves around." The soul-catching mirror fed a voice, "If you were Chen Chuihua, what would you do?"

"Chen Chuihua is doing a good job now. He did not rashly raise troops to attack. With tribute land, he can support the army and not worry about military pay, so he may think that the best way at the moment is to keep his troops in place, and then raise the banner of revenge for the country, and quickly contact other forces, such as Tu Han, Yuwen Yong and other Yaoguo remnants, to jointly attack Bai Tan." He Lingchuan paused, "After all, Yaoguo has been established for nearly 200 years, and the people have a sense of identity with it, so Chen Chuihua's call is useful, which is different from other places in the Shanjin Plain."

Other small countries on the Shanjin Plain are born and die in the morning, so how can civilians have any sense of identity with the country? Fighting for life and death is nothing more than changing the king's flag on the city wall again.

Mirror asked: "Is there a problem with this process?"

"This is the conventional way of solving the problem, which is safe and not easy to make mistakes. However, what Chen Chuihua can think of, can't Bai Tan think of it in advance?" He Lingchuan smiled, "Do you know how much time, energy and money you have to spend to form an alliance and a front, how much interests you have to give up, and how many contradictions you have to reconcile? If you don't understand, the allied forces on the Shining Gold Plain are a model."

The allied forces led by the Situ family were unstoppable in the early stage, but after the front line was pushed back to the home of the Pixia people, it seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and the progress was very slow. Until now, the Pixia's nest has not been taken down. Once the party has the upper hand, the various forces of the allied forces began to make their own calculations, and with the Yao Kingdom blowing the wind and igniting from the side, the allied forces have repeatedly fought internally; the slow progress of the expedition, in turn, affected the enthusiasm of all the allied forces, and the battle was a bit weak.

If Situ He were still alive, the situation would be better; now his son Situ Yu is in charge of the overall situation, and it is quite difficult to operate.

"Then?" Jingzi was confused.

"If Chen Chuihua wants to form a front or coalition to attack Bai Tan, he must communicate with each other through telegrams, right? He must explain the pros and cons and negotiate cooperation, right? This all takes time." He Lingchuan shook his head, "During this period of time, if Bai Tan takes the opportunity to attack Tu Han, or capture more states and counties, and gather more troops, his army will be further expanded, and the new recruits he recruits are all refugees, who originally did not know how to fight, but if they taste the fruits of victory a few more times, they will become brave and orderly."

There is no place that can hone people better than the battlefield.

"What Bai Tan needs most is time, and Chen Chuihua gave him enough time. The longer this battle is delayed, the more unpredictable the outcome will be."

Mirror asked curiously: "Didn't you just say that Chen Chuihua did a good job?"

"Yes, but it also exposed that he didn't have the courage to break the deadlock. The nine consecutive days of Emperor Liujiang gave him a reason not to take action." He Lingchuan said slowly, "You see, if a person wants to retreat, he can find at least a hundred reasons. If Bai Tan was smarter, he would have seen that Chen Chuihua was afraid of tigers and wolves, and was not firm enough. The nine days of Emperor Liujiang may have changed the course of the war."

"Ah, what do you mean?"

He Lingchuan raised a finger: "The war that was about to break out was interrupted and directly suspended for nine days. During these nine days, Chen Chuihua and Tu Han, Shan Zezhong, and other resistance forces, and even General Chongwu, may have communicated. Emperor Liujiang also helped him We have bought time."

"Secondly, Bai Tan needs time to digest Tianshui City and consolidate his rule and expand his army. Compared with the forces that resist him, he has the biggest advantage-"

Mirror blurted out:

"The support of the gods?"

"Nonsense, the purpose of overthrowing the Yao royal family has been achieved, how can the gods publicly support him at this time?" He Lingchuan laughed, "His advantage is that he is very rich! You forgot that the Tianshui East Expansion Project used a few worthless pieces of land to concentrate the wealth of officials and civilians, and the wealth of the whole country, to the Yao royal family and the treasury. Bai Tan saw the opportunity to kill the Yao King and occupy Tianshui City, and naturally pocketed a huge amount of wealth!"

Mirror exclaimed: "How could I forget that there is still this money!"

"It's not surprising. The recent major events in Yao Kingdom seem to have nothing to do with money, which makes you forget the magic of money; but Bai Tan didn't forget it. "

"Having money doesn't necessarily make gods help you, but money can make the devil work. In addition, the famine in Yao Kingdom was created by him and Qingyang, so his men will not be short of food in the short term. He has plenty of money and food, and no shortage of soldiers. This is where his confidence lies." He Lingchuan analyzed, "Looking at his opponents, no matter who they are, life will become more and more tight. So Bai Tan probably thinks that time is an advantage for him."

"Isn't it?"

"Not entirely." He Lingchuan said seriously, "The chaos in Yao Kingdom has begun, just like a whirlpool has formed. They have entered the game, and it is impossible not to go with the flow and float. No matter how perfect any plan is initially designed, there will definitely be loopholes, not to mention that there are gods and Beijia messing up the situation behind it, and there is also Emperor Liujiang confusing people. The road to rebellion is not easy to go, and Bai Tan still has many levels to overcome."

He said this on the fifth day of Emperor Liujiang.

As if to confirm his judgment, on the evening of the third day, new intelligence from Yao Kingdom was delivered:

Tianshui City is in chaos again!

Another refugee riot.

When everyone heard this, regardless of how exhausted they were from refining the elixir, they hurriedly urged:

"Tell me in detail."

The reason was not complicated. Since Bai Tan had become the new owner of Tianshui City and had settled there, he had to control it and let it resume normal production and life as soon as possible.
