Chapter 327: Souls Cannot Enter the Underworld
There was no patrol team at the dock, and no patrol boats in the sea. It was as if the Xicheng Coast Guard had disappeared.
However, although the warships of Yansha Kingdom had already docked at the pier, there was no movement.
"Lieutenant General Gao, listen up. Tell all soldiers not to leave their stations or make any rash moves. Maintain the status quo and wait for my orders."
Liu Renyi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly issued this military order.
Weird, this is so weird.
It was just as weird as the last time Yansha Country sent that group of "human beings" here.
However, those ships disappeared at sea, while today's ships sailed a distance of nearly twenty days in just one night.
There is a big problem in the Yansha Kingdom.
Deputy General Gao was the one who woke up Liu Renyi and followed him all the way from the main tent to the watchtower.
After hearing Liu Renyi's order, he left the watchtower and returned to the barracks to pass on the message.
Liu Renyi stood in the watchtower, staring at the main ship of Yansha Kingdom at the dock.
Yuan Huyi was also sitting in the lookout tower on the ship.
Although there was a long distance between them, they seemed to be able to see each other and were both tense and alert.
They were afraid that if they looked at each other incorrectly, the other side would send troops to attack.
In fact, Yuan Huyi really wanted to go ashore and attack Liu Renyi's Liu Family Army.
But Liu Jiajun was too quiet and he was afraid of fraud.
However, Liu Renyi was unsure of Yuan Huyi's strength and did not dare to send troops rashly.
He even took advantage of the situation and concealed his own strength.
Both of them have been leading troops for many years and are well versed in military tactics.
On the battlefield, the more impatient a person is, the more likely he is to lose the initiative.
According to the rules, the fighting between the two sides must be carried out at the sea border.
But Liu Renyi deliberately let Yuan Huyi's warships enter the waters of Qingluo Kingdom. If this matter were to be reported to the imperial court, Liu Renyi would be in trouble.
Of course, Liu Renyi could stand his ground for a while by declaring war on the grounds that Yansha Kingdom had intruded into Qingluo Kingdom's waters.
But the prerequisite is that he has to win the battle in one go.
Otherwise, if those people in the court knew about it, they would definitely hold him accountable for failing to guard the border effectively.
None of the border guarding generals of Qingluo Kingdom had ever allowed the enemy to intrude into their territory.
Those who have done it have already been reincarnated with their entire clan.
Liu Renyi, with his thoughts in a mess, stood in the watchtower, not moving for a long time.
Logically speaking, he should have sent someone to negotiate with Yuan Hu and asked them to voluntarily retreat beyond the coastal defense line.
If they do not retreat, we will negotiate with them again and again. If three attempts fail, we will attack them and drive them out of the waters of Qingluo.
But he had never intended to fight Yuan Hu in the first place, and he hadn't even made any preparations before the battle, so how could he start an attack so easily?
Moreover, Yuan Huyi brought eighty warships this time. According to the information he had obtained, the carrying capacity of a warship of the Yansha Kingdom was one thousand soldiers.
Even if we deduct the thirty supply ships, there are still a total of 50,000 people.
Each side has 50,000 people. If this battle really breaks out, it is hard to say who will win or lose.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Chu Qinshu accompanied Chu Chengyi to leave the East Palace.
Their destination this time was the Xicheng Coast Guard Pier.
[Huh? Why is it so quiet? ]
When they reached the sky above the pier, Chu Qinshu was a little confused.
This was totally different from the scene she had imagined. Even if Yuan Huyi and Liu Renyi did not fight each other, they should have actively negotiated.
How can they live in peace and harmony?
"They may not have figured out the other party's situation yet and are afraid to act rashly."
Chu Chengyi could tell at a glance what the two were thinking at the moment.
Liu Renyi had never thought about fighting with Yuan Hu, so he didn't care how many people he brought.
Since Yuan Hu had suddenly occupied the dock, he didn't dare to show up easily.
As for Yuan Huyi, he arrived at Xicheng Wharf so quickly that he had already reached the enemy's territory before he could even find out the enemy's situation.
This caught him off guard and he didn't know how to fight.
Blindly going into battle without knowing the enemy's situation is a big taboo in military strategy.
"Spiritual bird, send a message."
[Isn't this simple? Shu'er can just ask the spirit bird to send a letter to them, so that they can tell each other the truth.]
Chu Qinshu likes to watch dogs fight each other the most.
Who made Qingluo Kingdom and Yansha Kingdom join forces to plot against Sheng'an Kingdom?
They should be allowed to turn against each other and fight each other till death.
When they run out of food, she can reap the benefits.
"Master, please don't forget our mission. We must not allow innocent people to suffer from the schemes of the rulers of the two countries. You know the ambitions and human nature of the Yansha Kingdom."
Xiao Hulu's bottom line is not to cause innocent casualties.
Otherwise, the underworld would be overcrowded, and both it and its master's mission would be a failure.
In the original book, the people of Sheng'an were burned to ashes, and countless innocent people died.
And if they cause a war between Qingluo and Yansha, the people of Qingluo will suffer.
The Yansha Kingdom is inhumane. If they were allowed to defeat the Qingluo Kingdom this time, the lives of the people of Qingluo Kingdom would probably be worse than those of the people of Sheng'an Kingdom in the original book.
"Huh? This......"
When Chu Qinshu heard Xiao Hulu's conscious reminder, she was unable to react for a moment.
Does this mean that we can't let them fight?
Then what was the point of her going to so much trouble to send Yuan Huyi's warship to the Qingluo Kingdom's coastal defense dock?
"Master, the military is responsible for protecting the country."
"The Yansha Kingdom has come to our own territory. If the Qingluo Kingdom's coastal defense forces do not defend Xicheng and allow the Yansha Kingdom's troops to invade Qingluo Kingdom, they will be sorry for the court and the people who trust them."
"Yansha Nation came here because of the humiliation suffered by that group of 'people' in Qingluo Nation, and they were not wrong."
'So, the war between the two armies, resulting in casualties, does not affect our mission. Who told them to plot against Sheng Anguo together?'
"If the first batch of 'people' from Yansha country are successfully sent to Sheng'an country, they will send the second batch, the third batch, or even countless batches. By then, the people of Sheng'an country will be the ones who will suffer the most."
'The people of Yansha are the worst in this continent, they...' Actually, they can disappear, because their souls cannot enter the underworld, and the underworld will not be overcrowded.
The little gourd explained its master in great detail, but some things were difficult for a gourd that was practicing cultivation to say.
I just hope the owner can understand it.
"Little gourd, I understand."
Chu Qinshu listened very carefully. It was she and Xiao Hulu who facilitated the rift between the two countries.
She tortured the group of "races" of Yansha Kingdom in that way at the beginning, and it was precisely because she understood the human nature of Yansha Kingdom that she did not show mercy just because they were "ordinary people" of Yansha Kingdom.
It seems that Xiao Hulu's values and outlook on life are quite consistent with hers.
"Daddy, come back."
Chu Qinshu came back to her senses and rubbed against Chu Chengyi's arms.
