Kunlun sends troops to overwhelm Tiecheng Mountain!
As thousands of sword lights set out from Kunlun Pillar, the news quickly spread throughout China.
When Witch Jiang heard the news, she came to find Wei Dongliu and asked out of curiosity:
"My husband, as you expected, Master Chang Geng chose to attack Tiecheng Mountain directly... How did you guess that?"
"Didn't I tell you that?" Wei Dongliu's heart instantly became alert, and he said seriously, "Qiu Changtian's actions seem to be unpredictable and inconsistent with Kunlun's style, but in fact, he is just assessing the situation and taking measures that he has no choice but to do."
"Military matters are a matter of life and death. My lady, as the deputy leader of our Fansheng Dao, is completely ignorant of this. This is unacceptable."
"Oh my." Jiang Li'an immediately started to act like a spoiled child. "My husband never taught me in detail, so how would I know? Why don't you tell me, if my husband was the Chang Geng Master, how would he decide after Kunlun sent troops to Tiecheng Mountain?"
Wei Dongliu began to ponder.
Want to predict Qiu Changtian's decision? That's too easy. I can predict everything 100% correctly. Do you believe it?
The question is, even if the prediction can be 100% correct, will it really not arouse suspicion?
If you think about it carefully, even if it arouses suspicion, no one would think that "Qiu Changtian and I are the same person". At most, they would suspect "How can Wei Dongliu always get his predictions right? He is too evil."
This will probably help me maintain my mysterious personality.
Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu said slowly:
"My lady, let me ask you: Why did Kunlun send troops to Tiecheng Mountain?"
"Because if we don't send troops to contain them, there will be a risk of being cut off from Guanzhong." Jiang Li answered fluently.
Then he suddenly became confused: How come I, a great and free demon, started to learn the human race's military tactics? Is this really necessary?
"That's right." Wei Dongliu said calmly, "Since it's just for containment, we can't force an attack to avoid excessive casualties."
"Let me ask you again: Since the purpose is just to contain the enemy and avoid casualties, what will Master Chang Geng choose?"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and answered tentatively:
"Just surround but not fight?"
Wei Dongliu smiled faintly and said:
"If we just surround them but don't attack, how can we convince Shura Dao that Kunlun intends to attack? If we do that, the deterrent effect will be completely gone."
"This war is not a battle of attack, but a battle of hearts and minds. Whichever sect's cultivators lose their will to fight first and are forced to withdraw from the confrontation will be the loser."
The battle to attack the heart. When the word “attack the heart” was mentioned, Witch Jiang immediately became excited.
"That is to say." She began to try to understand the human race's military thinking, and said with great interest, "My husband means that because both sides want to avoid losses as much as possible, this war will not be a big one, but it will probably be a long one. It's like a tug-of-war. It seems that whoever loses first loses, but in fact, the competition is about who lets go first."
"That's right." Wei Dongliu suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness for some reason - if I teach her like this, nothing will happen, right?
Hey, my wife, what could possibly happen to me? Could she possibly eat me up?
"Then my husband, who do you think will lose the will to fight first in this war?" Jiang Lian hugged Wei Dongliu's arm and asked with a smile.
It was strange, the girl looked quite thin and slender, but when he got close to her, she was full of plumpness and flesh, so much so that Wei Dongliu could not control himself. He quickly calmed down and said calmly:
"Is there any need to ask? Of course it's us, the Six Paths."
"Oh?" Jiang Li'an held his chin with one hand, showing a somewhat innocent and naive smile, and asked innocently, "Is it because the five sects are not united?"
"Of course." Wei Dongliu nodded. "An alliance bound together by interests is naturally destined to dissolve due to differences in interests. This weakness is too fatal. It is really incomparable with Kunlun Taiqing Sect."
"But isn't it in everyone's interest to unite and plunder Kunlun now?" Jiang Li'an continued to ask.
"Of course not." Wei Dongliu laughed, "Although it is plundering Kunlun, the expected benefits and acceptable losses are different for each sect."
"If we have to make an estimate, the group that supports the war the most is definitely the Yin Gui Dao. They have very strong interests and can accept higher losses and time costs, so they will definitely insist on continuing the war."
"Indeed." Jiang Li nodded secretly, thinking that it was no wonder that the little bitch came here every other day and came so frequently. Those who knew her said that she was gathering intelligence, while those who didn't thought that she was here to be a mistress.
"The next is probably our Fansheng Dao." Wei Dongliu continued to talk, "The actual benefits are secondary, but the title of leader is too important to us. Fansheng Dao has been in disarray for a long time. It has the name of a major sect, but it can't exert even half of its strength. Almost everyone has suffered from it."
"Now that the sect has been condensed and formed in my hands, we are about to use the war to reshape it. As long as we continue to win, we can bring a strong sense of pride to the monks of our sect, and this will become their motivation to continue fighting."
"I see." Jiang Li thought for a moment, "I understand. For major sects like the Yin Gui Dao and the Tian Mo Dao, the pride and honor of being a cultivator of a major sect is natural and innate, so they don't take these false names too seriously."
"But for the Mortal Dao, we have lost the sense of honor of being a 'great sect monk' for too long. No wonder when I see our sect monks, it seems that most of them have no negative or aversion to this war."
"Well, but the latter is actually mainly due to my leadership charm." Wei Dongliu said shamelessly, "Without proper guidance, the sect's sense of honor cannot be directly linked to cohesion... Let's not talk about this, my lady. Do you know who is the most likely to hold back among the six paths now?"
"Of course it's Shura Dao." Jiang Li'an laughed jokingly, "Their geographical location is not so much a springboard for us to attack Kunlun, but rather a thorn in the eye and flesh that Kunlun must remove. The tougher Kunlun's attitude becomes, the more Shura Dao will bear the brunt and suffer the most."
"In comparison, the Donghuang Dao and the Tianmo Dao are too far away from the battlefield and have little interest in each other, so they are more like fence-sitters - when the battle is going their way, they will be aggressive; if the battle reaches a stalemate, they will be the ones to retreat without hesitation."
"Husband, is my analysis correct?" At the end, Jiang Li'an smiled with curved eyebrows, hugged Wei Dongliu's arms tighter, almost sinking into him, and her tone was sweet.
"Well, speaking of this, I also find it strange." Wei Dongliu wanted to pull his hand away but couldn't, so he could only frown slightly and said, "The attitude of the Heavenly Demon Sect in dealing with the war seems to be a little too positive."
"Although it's hard to say what will happen in the future, for now it's necessary to provide both manpower and manpower... It's strange."
"Hahaha." Jiang Li secretly joked, "Maybe I am also impressed by my husband's personality charm?"
Qiu Changtian sneered and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Wen Yang's crisp laughter coming from far away outside:
"Fellow Daoist Wei! Good news! That Shura Dao can't hold on any longer and is here to ask for help!"
