Chapter 980: Liu Tingfeng Visits Snow Ridge

After all, Liu Tingfeng did not make the decision to lead an army of 800,000 to pursue the 9 million army of the Demon Realm.

After all, he had just arrived in Hongchang City, and everything had not yet been straightened out, so it was irrational to rashly pursue, and he could only watch the other party calmly evacuate.

After the demon army withdrew, even if the army of Xiyu Kingdom on the other side of the Xiaoshui River crossed the river, without the obstruction of the demon army, everything went smoothly, and in just one day, all the 10 million troops came to Hongchang City.

However, there were only three generals who came over, namely Nan Buyi, Wei Wuji and Wu Changkong, and Shangguan Qingsleeve continued to stay in Lingzhou City.

In the city lord's mansion of Hongchang City, Liu Tingfeng gathered several main generals to discuss the next military plan.

After everyone sat down, Nan Buyi first said suspiciously:

"Demon Venerable retreats to the Northern Moon Country, this doesn't seem to be a wise choice!"

Wei Wuji looked at the map on the wall and said:

"Demon Venerable's move is not to let us easily occupy this large area of land in the North Moon Country, after they retreat into the territory of the North Moon Country, as long as they fortify layer by layer, they can block the speed of our advance, we break through a line of defense, they will retreat a line of defense, so that it will become a protracted war and a war of attrition."

The little white dragon said indifferently:

"We are not in a hurry to attack, since we want to consume, then we will slowly accompany him to consume, we can slowly move forward, see who has the advantage in the end!"

The Tiger King said with some urgency:

"If it is according to my temperament, what is the point of slowly exhausting, we will launch a fierce attack, they only have an army of nine million, and most of them are new soldiers, but we have more than 11 million, and the combat effectiveness is far stronger than them, as long as they attack by leaps and bounds, they will inevitably retreat one after another, and they will not even have time to fortify, wouldn't that be more enjoyable!"

Liu Tingfeng looked at Wu Changkong and asked:

"What does General Wu mean?"

Wu Changkong pondered for a moment, then replied calmly:

"The siege war is not in a hurry, they only have to enter the city, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protection, and the price paid for forcibly attacking the city must be very large, with a thousand enemy wounded and eight hundred self-inflicted, such a victory is a tragic victory, and some gains outweigh the losses."

Liu Tingfeng nodded slightly and said:

"A strong offensive is indeed not in our interests, and now the outcome of the other two battlefields is not clear, so it is not good for us to make such a sacrifice rashly."

"Although we currently have the advantage of troops and combat effectiveness is stronger than the other side, once we attack the city with a strong force every time, the situation will slowly reverse, and when we push them into a corner, our forces will probably be left, and there is no large army to support the rear, then it may form a lose-lose situation."

The Tiger King suddenly pointed in the direction of Yong'an City and said:

"Or, let's turn around and attack the side of Yong'an City, now that the Demon Venerable has left Yong'an City, it is relatively empty over there, let's take back a large area of the city here."

Wu Changkong looked at the map, and there was a trace of imperceptible pain on his face, that land used to be his territory, and it was the most familiar old place, but now it was occupied by the Demon Lord, and it had nothing to do with him anymore.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed.

However, that look was only fleeting, he immediately adjusted his mentality, and said in a calm tone:

"Although there is no Demon Venerable in Yong'an City, after all, this side is their base camp, and it is not so easy to defeat it, not to mention, if we turn the direction, the Demon Venerable will inevitably pursue us from the rear at any time, but it will become passive."

The little white dragon also said:

"And most importantly, what will we do if we take this large part of the city at a great cost? Each city will have to leave a large army to garrison, so that our forces will be scattered little by little, and at that time, once the Demon Venerable launches a counterattack, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. ”

Liu Ting's wind head said:

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, although Yong'an City is the base camp of the demon world, but the demon venerable is not there, it doesn't make much sense to fight down, Qu Yunyang said, where is he, where is the real base camp, when we take back the city over there, he can calmly build the Beiyue Kingdom into the next base camp."

"Therefore, defeating Qu Yunyang is the focus of this battle, if he is defeated, the demon army will be leaderless, and the city on the other side of Yong'an City will be easily obtained without spending great effort to attack, and now that he is still alive, the people over there will inevitably defend to the death, and we don't need to do that senseless consumption."

At this time, Nan Buyi thoughtfully suggested:

"Actually, there is another team in the North Moon Country that is worth contacting, that is, the main force of the North Moon Country in the Xue'an Forest, they were forced by the strong oppression of the Demon Realm at that time, and they did not dare to face it head-on, so they could only avoid its edge and hide in the Snow Forest, counting them and the Demon World army also have a common enmity, if we can contact them, come to a front and back attack, inside and outside, we will definitely be able to easily defeat this Demon World army."

Liu Tingfeng said softly:

"Counting it up, Beiyue Kingdom also has an enmity with us, in order to provoke the contradiction between them and Longxiao Kingdom, we also formed a grudge with them, and now we go to talk about internal and external cooperation, will they agree?"

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Bailong analyzed:

"The grudge between us and the Beiyue Kingdom is a small contradiction, and it did not hurt their roots, and the reason why that grudge occurred in the first place was actually the Beiyue Kingdom and the Longxiao Kingdom, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Xiyu Civil War to rob the resources of the Xiyu Kingdom, and even wanted to occupy the land of the Xiyu Kingdom."

"Therefore, we were only forced to fight back in self-defense, which is not worth mentioning compared to the hatred of the Demon Realm army to destroy the country."

Liu Tingfeng nodded and replied:

"In this case, if we take the initiative to invite, they should agree!"

After a short pause, Liu Tingfeng frowned and said:

"But what are the conditions for us to invite?"

Nan Buyi guessed:

"Think about it from another perspective, the first condition they want to mention must be that when the time comes, restore the original territory of their Beiyue Country, and then live in peace with the Xiyu Country and sit on an equal footing."

Before Liu Tingfeng could speak, the Tiger King immediately objected:

"How is that possible, we have already forced the Demon Realm army to this point, they just cooperate in attacking a war, and they want to share so much benefit, it will definitely not work."

Nan Buyi continued to speculate:

"If we don't agree to this condition, they will definitely demand to give up part of the land of the North Moon Country, and then they will still be an independent country."

At this time, Xiao Bailong said indifferently:

"The unification of the world is the trend of the times, and it is impossible for them to still exist independently."

"At most, we can promise that when the army of the Demon Realm is defeated and the Outer Heaven is successfully unified, we can set the Northern Moon Kingdom as a county, just like Nanxing County and Tianlei County, and when the time comes, we can allow the people of the former Yue Clan royal family to serve as county guards, but we will never allow independence to exist as a country."

Liu Tingfeng nodded and said:

"Well, this is already the biggest concession, if they agree, we will speed up the pace of unification, if they don't agree, we can still defeat the demon army step by step, and finally be able to dominate the outer heavens, at that time, they will have to hide in the Xue'an Forest forever."

The little white dragon said with a smile:

"It's okay to hide in Xue'an Forest for the time being, live there for a long time, you can't live normally there at all, I think, Yue Ruhong won't go the other way."

Liu Tingfeng immediately clapped and said:

"Okay, this matter is decided like this, General Bai and I will go to the Xue'an Forest, whether it works out or not, it can be regarded as giving them a chance to choose."

"You just stay in Hongchang City, first straighten out the surrounding cities, straighten out the work as soon as possible, whether it is successful or not, and when we come back, we will start to think that the demon army will attack, if Yue Ruhong agrees, it will naturally be better, and the two sides will attack, so that Qu Yunyang has nowhere to hide."

"If Yue Ruhong doesn't agree, then we will advance step by step and force Qu Yunyang into a corner."

Speaking of which, after a slight pause, Liu Tingfeng continued to arrange:

"After we leave, all the affairs here will be temporarily handed over to Nan Buyi to be in charge, Wei Wuji, Wu Changkong and Wang Hu will fully cooperate, while straightening out the government affairs, while preparing for war, we will be able to rush back in as little as half a dozen days, at most half a month."

The four of them immediately replied respectfully:

"Obey the orders of the great general!"

After the arrangements were made, that night, Liu Tingfeng and Xiao Bailong took advantage of the night and quietly left Hongchang City.

The two avoided the sphere of influence of the Demon Realm army, chose a remote place to move forward, and did not dare to fly easily with Edgeworth.

With such a cautious sneak, only in a particularly remote place in the morning, the two of them would spread their skills and move forward quickly, and after five days, they finally arrived at the Xue'an Forest smoothly.

After the report, Yue Ruhong secretly met the two at night.

After some greetings, Liu Tingfeng explained his intentions, and Yue Ruhong did not reply immediately after listening to it, but said suspiciously:

"In this way, the situation is not clear now, the Demon Realm and you are fighting on three battlefields at the same time, the outcome is not clear, if we go out to help you at this moment, and in the end you lose, at that time, what will you use to fulfill your promise?"

Liu Tingfeng replied indifferently:

"It is precisely because the situation is not yet clear that we need to come to you to discuss, and if the victory or defeat has been decided, we are not here to discuss."

"Of course, the choice is in your hands, if you think the Demon Realm has a better chance of winning, you can also choose to support the Demon Realm army!"

Yue Ruhong said calmly:

"To tell you the truth, Demon Venerable Qu Yunyang did send someone to contact him, and the conditions they offered were much better than yours, and Qu Yunyang promised that we could continue to exist as an independent country, and the original territory would remain unchanged."

Liu Tingfeng looked at Yue Ruhong and asked:

"What's the use of promising more? When they fail, all promises are just empty words! ”

"Taking a step back, even if they win, do you think Qu Yunyang will really agree to such conditions?"
