King Zhentian climbed the mountain at noon the next day.
The coalition of eighteen forces was formed the next afternoon.
Sitting at the first seat in the main hall, King Zhentian, who stated that he had a thousand elite soldiers, accepted the worship of the seventeen chiefs of the gangs and became the undisputed leader of the Xichuan Green Forest.
Well, at least seventeen people present believed this.
King Zhentian, who had just ascended the throne, was not immediately dazzled by power. He politely declined the beauty prepared for him by King Tiger, drank the alliance wine, and asked for a meeting to discuss strategies to resist Qinghe County.
In the words of Tiger King, in this respect, no one else can match them. It turns out that there is a reason for their success.
The leaders nodded thoughtfully, thinking, "No comparison, no harm." They thought, "Think about it, others have just arrived and are already having meetings to discuss work, while I've been up the mountain for several days. Besides using up all the wine and meat in Tiger and Wolf Village, I've probably only helped the farmers there make compost."
Well, it doesn’t matter. Now that we have a leader, it’s natural for the leader to take care of these things.
In the Juyi Hall, Lu You looked around at everyone and said, "Since you, the leaders, have so kindly offered me this, I will accept the responsibility. We, the Green Foresters, are the most straightforward and honest people. We don't play tricks. This time, my Qitian Village can take the lead, but there needs to be a plan for how to fight. We can't just rush in and chop people down together. If you, the leaders, have any ideas, please share them now. I am not one to ignore opinions. But there is one thing: once we reach an agreement today, we must follow it. If anyone backs down, they will become the public enemy of the Eighteen Clan Halls, and burning them to death will be a piece of cake."
Everyone bowed in unison: "We will follow the orders of King Zhentian."
Of course, when it comes to talking about battle strategies, the intelligence of the seventeen bosses is not much better than that of seventeen pigs.
After hearing things like "dig a lot of traps in the mountains and wait for them to fall into them", "poison the upper reaches of the Jinjiang River and kill them directly", "there's a witch in my village who can ask the mountain god to possess her body. Then the mountain god will bless us and we will surely win the battle", and "what's a witch? There's a Taoist priest in my village who can make elixirs and a potion that can corrode even gold and iron. Then everyone can just throw a basin of water over and win", Lu You felt that the pressure he was under was not that great.
Lu You smiled and pressed his palm down in the air, and everyone gradually quieted down.
Lu You smiled and said, "The strategies that the senior leaders have come up with after years of battle are indeed very creative. I never thought there would be so many ways to defeat the enemy. However, even though there are many plans, we only need the best one. How about we discuss the above strategies in detail?"
Seeing that Lu You agreed with their strategy, the leaders smiled happily and agreed, "Yes, they are all good ways to defeat the enemy. I said, it's not that we don't have good methods, it's that we have too many good methods. But thankfully, King Zhentian is here, he will definitely be able to choose the best one."
Lu You continued to ask, "I wonder which boss came up with that trap just now. It's really a good idea. I just wonder if that boss can find out the route the Qinghe County troops are taking so we can dig it halfway. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if we dig the wrong way?"
Um...
Cao Shangfei bowed and said, "King Zhentian, this is a good idea from me, but I just thought about it again. We are not farmers and are not good at digging holes. So why don't we put this strategy aside for now and talk about the strategies of other big bosses first. There must be better ones."
Lu You bowed to Cao Shangfei and said, "Alright, let's do as Boss Cao says. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the poisoning strategy. It's indeed a good one. I don't believe they won't drink the water from the river. However, the Jin River is a big river, and the water is fast. Pouring half a bottle of poison into the water will probably do nothing. I wonder how much poison Boss Long has prepared?"
The head of the Long family felt a pang of anxiety. "King Zhentian, you're joking. We usually just catch a few poisonous snakes for fun. It's a bit too few to poison the Jinjiang River. But it's too late to catch snakes now. Why don't we listen to something else first? The mountain god is quite good."
Lu You nodded and looked to the right at the chief of the number one village in the world (yes, their village was named so domineeringly, and I don’t know why it hadn’t been taken down by anyone). “I wonder if the chief’s witch was brought with him?”
"I have it. It's right outside the door."
"Well, come here, have that witch immediately summon the spirits. Once she's done, drag him to the door and chop off his head. If he chops it off, he must be a liar. If he can't, we'll use this strategy."
Everyone: "This method is very good, but it requires a bit of effort from the oracle."
Not long after, the witch's head was brought up. Lu You sighed, looking rather regretful, and waved his hand, "Take it away and bury it with the body. If there really is a mountain god, he would surely resurrect her. It's a pity she couldn't make it to the battle."
The only one with a strange expression was the head of the No. 1 village in the world. His expression was gloomy and uncertain. Lu You snorted coldly after seeing this: "Could it be that I killed your witch and you are unhappy about it?"
The leader of the No. 1 village in the world hurriedly responded, "How dare I? It's just that this witch has been talking nonsense since she came up the mountain, saying that she can ask the gods to possess her. I think she is already in her seventies or eighties, and even if she keeps her alive, it won't cost much, so I prefer to believe it. But..."
"Just what? We Green Forest people are the most straightforward and say what we think. Why are you hesitating so much? Are you hiding something from us?" Lu You couldn't help but get angry.
"Alas, it's just that a while ago this witch said that she had invited the mountain god's wife into her body, and if I had intercourse with her, I would be able to obtain the power of the mountain god. I was just bewildered at the moment, so I agreed, and I worked very hard for a lot of days." The leader of the world's number one village said hesitantly.
