Chapter 398: Tracing the Roots (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Chapter)(1/8)
The opinions of Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou are basically the same as those of his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi. They both believe that the Corruptor is deliberately using provocation to force the Mountain Chief to take action. If the Mountain Chief takes action, then he will play into the Corruptor's will.
.
If the mountain chief had not taken action, Zhao Xun would have continued to endure torture.
It can be said that for the Corruptors, this is simply a good way to make sure profits without losing money.
But for Zhao Xun, this was an extremely serious torture.
So can Zhao Xun really hold on? How long can he hold on?
"I think we should adopt the previous model, where the senior brothers and sisters in the academy take turns, so that once I find a problem and send a signal after falling asleep, I can still have a back-up to help, so that I won't be completely blind."
Zhao Xun is really scared now.
The main reason is that the Corruptor is really disgusting, harassing him again and again, and always picking up Zhao Xun while he was sleeping.
After affecting Zhao Xun's sleep, Zhao Xun's entire mental state will be affected.
Ah, this is simply not what humans do.
But for now, all Zhao Xun can do is defend as much as possible.
After all, intruders can invade him at any time, but he can only do passive defense, hoping that the intruder will not hit him immediately.
Otherwise, if the Corruptor is allowed to play with him like this, even if Zhao Xun himself is not seriously injured, his spirit will definitely collapse.
"Okay, I think Junior Brother's method will work. At present, this is the most reasonable method we can do. Junior Brother, please make a list, and we will follow the order in your list."
"Well"
This is not good, is it?
Zhao Xun thought to himself that if I were to arrange the schedule, it would always give people the feeling that I am arranging it for you.
But this is obviously of your own free will. I should only play a leading role, and it mainly depends on your subjective initiative.
Of course, Zhao Xun couldn't say this.
After all, his senior brothers and sisters have given him enough face.
If Zhao Xun said such stupid words at this time, it would be unreasonable anyway.
"Okay, then I'll make a list and I'll help all the senior brothers and sisters."
After all, it was Zhao Xun who got help, and Zhao Xun still had to make his attitude clear in this regard.
"Well, we are all a family, don't be so open to outsiders."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan patted his chest and said: "Little junior brother, as long as I, Long Qingquan, am here, I can guarantee that you will never be in danger."
Hearing this, Zhao Xun's eyes turned slightly red.
Alas, I really didn’t expect Third Senior Brother to treat him so well.
"Thank you so much, Third Senior Brother. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask me."
Anxi, Duhufu.
Liu Lin, the protector of the capital, patted Liu Neng's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Well done, really well done. The general did not misjudge the person. The general recognized the right person and allowed the Anxi Army to hold on until
Now, you must have had a hard time holding on while this general is gone."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. Compared with what the great protector has done, what the general has done is nothing worth mentioning."
At this moment, Liu Neng's eyes were already red.
It is really not easy for him to be where he is today.
There were countless times when he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, but Liu Lin, the guardian of the capital, gave him confidence.
He firmly believed that the Protector Liu Lin would definitely come to rescue them, but he didn't expect that he would actually wait.
"Well, this is indeed a very difficult thing. If you have the first contribution, I will record it for you first. When we recover the Western Region and ask for credit from the emperor, I will emphatically do it for you.
Write a few strokes."
Liu Lin is very optimistic about Liu Neng.
In his opinion, Liu Neng has his shadow.
People like people who are similar to themselves.
Liu Lin is able to be where he is today because he has experienced countless storms.
He also hopes that Liu Neng can be like him back then and still stand firm after experiencing so many storms.
"Thank you so much, Protector, I will be ashamed of myself."
"If there is anything you dare not take, you deserve all of this. That's all. Let's not talk about this for now. Please tell me, the general, what happened to these rebels in the Western Regions."
When Liu Lin mentioned the rebels in the Western Regions, he felt very angry.
I remember that when Liu Lin was still in the Western Regions, these turtles didn't dare to say a word.
As soon as Liu Lin left, these guys all swarmed towards the Anxi Protectorate like bugs. Why are these people so shameless?
"Well, the rebels in the Western Regions were indeed a bit beyond our expectations. At first, we thought they were just a provocative attack. But later, the general discovered that they came in too many numbers. With such a large number of people, it was obvious
It’s not a provocation, they are serious. Therefore, the general has no choice but to call on the young men in the city to help defend the city. After all, it is impossible for the remaining Anxi army of less than 20,000 to withstand it."
"Well you did a good job."
Liu Lin was very satisfied with Liu Neng's judgment.
Make a decision when it's time to make a decision. This is the responsibility of a leading general.
If you continue to cut off, you will inevitably suffer from chaos.
Without the help of the young people in the city, it would be difficult for them to withstand this for so long.
"But they seemed to want to encircle us without attacking, and did not launch a substantive attack. They wanted to eat us alive."
Liu Neng's next words made Liu Lin fall into deep thought.
"Siege but not attack? They don't know how many defenders there are in Anxi Protector's Mansion, right?"
"It's possible that the 10,000 to 20,000 people who were put together temporarily had the effect of tricking them."
Liu Neng sighed and said: "So, sometimes it is unintentional to insert willows to create shade. The general doesn't know how it works by mistake."
"Alas, now it seems that these guys want to completely expel us from the Western Region."
Liu Lin had had a similar humiliating experience before, and he vowed at that time that he would personally recover the Western Regions one day and make these Western Region rebels pay the price.
Now that he is back, the situation is completely different from back then.
When he returned to the Western Regions for the second time, the situation was actually good. Liu Lin captured several cities in a row. But now the situation seems to have worsened.
Not only did these cities return to the hands of the Western Region countries, many of the forts in the Anxi Protectorate were also abandoned.
Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for Liu Lin to march westward, and he had to take a long-term approach.
"If we march westward, do we need to redeploy more manpower to the fort?"
"Yes, Protector, but the manpower you brought this time is not enough to accomplish this, right?"
Liu Neng is a very honest person. So basically no matter what he says, he will completely follow his heart and will never say something that makes people feel inexplicable for no reason.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Lin's manpower is definitely not enough.
"Sixty thousand soldiers and horses are indeed not enough."
Liu Lin sighed and said helplessly: "But there is no other way. Your Majesty doesn't know what he is thinking, but he just refuses to send more manpower at this time."
"Your Majesty has already given up on the Western Region, right?"
"That's not true. If His Majesty gives up the Western Region, I won't come this time."
"Well, it seems we still have hope. But the court probably won't give us much support. We have to rely on ourselves for everything."
"But as long as the brothers work together as one, there is always hope."
"Yes, I ordered you to go down and cook sheep and slaughter cattle in the city today. The general is going to hold a grand celebration banquet."
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
Wangcai was in a bad mood and blamed himself.
Because he felt that he did not play any role or help when Zhao Xun needed him very much.
He felt like a waste.
When he wanted to lose weight, Zhao Xun designed a complete weight loss plan for him.
But now it's Zhao Xun's turn to need help, but Wangcai can't provide anything. Not only can't he provide anything, but he's even holding him back.
He's really useless.
No, he must think of a way, he must think of how to help Zhao Xun to the maximum extent.
"Brother Mingyun seems to have trouble sleeping recently. How about I go and watch outside his room, so that if he can't sleep well, I can call for help."
Wangcai thought about it carefully and felt that this method was very good and he could really give it a try.
