Chapter 683 Stupid move?


Chapter 683 Stupid move?

Although Yan Sheng wished he could immediately tear off the traitor Long Potian's head and use it as a chamber pot, the preparations for a large-scale expedition will always take some time.

This also allowed Xie Liancheng to successfully find an opportunity to pass the news to Zhou Xu.

This is also a major event for Zhou Xu. Once the action is taken, it will have a direct impact on the situation here.

After receiving the news, he quickly summoned the generals in the city and told them the news that Yan Sheng was preparing to gather troops to quell the rebellion.

"This is probably the situation now, everyone can speak freely!"

As always, Zhou Xu first asked his subordinates to discuss and express their own ideas, so as to train them and improve their ability to think independently.

After hearing what their king said, the generals below thought for a while, and as always, Shi Lei was the first to speak.

Although Shi Lei is cautious by nature, he also knows that their king is training them at this moment, and it doesn't matter if they say something wrong at this time, he is just afraid that he dare not say it.

“Your Majesty, could this be a trap?”

Zhou Xu understood what Shi Lei meant. Shi Lei felt that the other party was deliberately pretending to send troops to quell the rebellion, luring them to send troops, and then suddenly counterattack and severely injuring them.

Zhou Xu shook his head at this idea.

“This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the move itself does not have much significance.”

While speaking, Zhou Xu explained the reason in detail.

“The centaur troops headed by Drogo have been operating around Blackstone City. The opponent’s large troop mobilization will definitely not escape their eyes.”

"The maximum number of troops in Black Rock City is just over 3,000. If the large army leaves the city and we attack Black Rock City and occupy the city, what will happen even if the opponent counterattacks?"

"Of course, the other side can also choose. Intercept us before we capture the city, but then they can't be too far away from Blackstone City, otherwise there will be no time, but if they are too close, they can't escape Drogo's detection."

Speaking. At this point, this possibility has basically been concluded.

As Zhou Xu said, this move itself does not make much sense.

And this also made Shi Lei frown even more.

"Your Majesty, according to this statement, does Yan Sheng really want to lead troops to suppress the rebellion? He doesn't want Black Rock City anymore? This is too stupid!"

At this moment, Xi, who was standing beside him, Erke couldn't help but speak out.

Although Hilke's identity now is just the captain of Zhou Xu's personal soldiers, he also has generals and will definitely lead the army in the future.

So Zhou Xu will also let Silke join in this discussion.

In the meeting hall, as soon as Silke said these words, even Bai Tu, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

By then, unless they don't move, it will be a certainty that Black Rock City falls into their hands.

On the one hand, you have to risk losses to capture Xishan City or Anling City, and on the other hand, you have to defend Blackstone City with almost no risk.

In the eyes of all the generals present, everyone knows how to choose this multiple-choice question.

Can the other party make the wrong choice like this? Was he really blinded by anger?

Listening to the results of the discussion among his subordinates, Zhou Xu’s face showed no joy or sorrow, and he just asked calmly...

"Do you have any other ideas?"

After seeing that everyone present was silent, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the animal skin map in the middle of the crowd.

Thanks to the information obtained from Jie Liancheng, they had a rough understanding of the location information of the seven cities opposite, and drew a map based on it. refer to.

Picking up the slender wooden stick that looked like a pointer at hand, Zhou Xu clicked on the mark symbolizing ‘Black Rock City’ on the map. "Although this matter revolves around Black Rock City, and it also talks about whether to abandon Black Rock City and send troops to quell the rebellion, the subsequent impact will be on the entire pattern here, so when you are thinking about the problem, you should not If you are only obsessed with a black stone city, you should habitually open your mind and think further.”

After briefly speaking to them, Zhou Xu began to change the topic to the matter at hand.

“According to the results of your discussion just now, it is too stupid to send troops to quell the rebellion at the risk of losing 100% of Black Rock City. On the contrary, continuing to sit in Black Rock City will be more stable, and at the same time, it can avoid soldier casualties and Resource consumption, right?"

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu continued to talk...

"But in my opinion, regardless of whether Yan Sheng was blinded by anger or not, this move alone, although risky, is not that stupid."

"You guys are going to do it. Clearly, there is another incident in this information, that is, Anling City was captured by the rebels, and at the same time, Long Potian, the defender of Anling City, surrendered to the rebels!"

"..."

Shi Lei and the others had to admit that after listening to the information, their thoughts were indeed focused on Yan Sheng's actions, and they did not seem to be particularly concerned about this piece of information.

Or maybe they have thought about it but don’t think there is any problem.

Now that their king specifically pointed it out, this made Shi Lei and the others think a little more.

Then Bai Tu, who was sitting below, his eyes lit up.

“I understand!”

In an instant, everyone’s eyes fell on him.

This change made Bai Tu's body tense up subconsciously. At the same time, he also realized that he had just lost his composure. After coughing dryly, he spoke in a deep voice...

"The key point here is that there is a traitor under the tyrant! And this traitor is Long Potian, one of the four dragon generals!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu's eyes flashed He smiled slightly and encouraged Bai Tu to continue talking.

After receiving Zhou Xu’s affirmation, Bai Tu, who was still a little nervous at first, now felt at ease.

"Now, apart from Long Zhantian, who has died in the battle, the Four Dragon Generals are now left with Long Potian, Long Aotian and Long Xiaotian, who are respectively in charge of the other three border cities."

“And now, due to the situation, the tyrant and the three thousand troops in his hands are temporarily trapped in Black Rock City, unable to move. This has largely led to the decline in his control over the cities under his command. ”

"From Long Potian's betrayal, we can see the other party's thoughts to some extent, that is, the other party already thinks that the situation is over."

"In this case, if the tyrant does nothing, it is difficult to protect Long Ao Can Tian and Long Xiaotian continue to be loyal to themselves? If they follow Long Potian's example and rebel, or simply stand on their own, then he will be completely finished."

"So the tyrant must now. The best way to do something is to kill the traitor Long Potian, so as to scare the other two generals on the border and let them know the consequences of betrayal! At the same time, it also shows that he still has the ability to fight against rebellion! ”

Shi Lei and the others have never experienced anything like a 'traitor general', but Bai Tu is different. When the Wei Kingdom was about to fall, he had seen many kinds of traitors who took advantage of the situation.

This experience allowed him to react quickly at this moment.

After hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled and agreed.

“You are right about the traitor general, but there is one thing you haven’t mentioned yet.”

Bai Tu was stunned for a moment, then he respectfully expressed...

"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty!"
