Chapter Eleven, Section 1(1/2)
Section 1
After listening to Yun Qianxue's story, several heavyweights of the demon clan in the room exchanged their eyes, and no one spoke for a while. Finally, the chief military advisor Hei Sofa asked: "How, Yunjun, what do you think of this person? Do you think he really surrendered? Do you feel that his words are trustworthy?"
Yun Qianxue shook her head confusedly: "Your Majesty, military advisor, I really don't know. His words are very sincere, I think it is credible. However, I also feel that he is absolutely untrustworthy - I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm very conflicted. I'm low-witness and cannot judge, so I can only leave it to Your Majesty's Holy Trial."
The Demon God Emperor kept saying "happy" and nodded, "Everyone said it." This is also the usual style of the Demon God Emperor. He never expressed his position and opinions at the beginning of the meeting, and always let his subordinates speak freely first.
Ghana Governor Ross, a veteran of the demon clan who has been through many battles, has always been famous for his high martial arts and cruelty. He enjoys a high prestige among the demon clan and said in a deep voice: "Kill him!"
The second prince Karan said slowly, "We don't know what Zichuanxiu's origin is yet!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Heisha's figure. Heisha laughed slightly: "My information may not be accurate, there may be omissions - don't look at me like this, I will be shy."
There was a burst of laughter in the tent. Amid the laughter, the chief military advisor of the demon clan said slowly, word by word: "Zichuan Xiu, whose original name is Lin He, the imperial calendar - I am talking about the original calendar of the Empire of Light, and humans have been using this - born in 19760, birthplace: unknown. Father: unknown. Mother: unknown. At the age of six, he was adopted by Zichuan Yuanxing, the then chief of the Zichuan family, and was given the surname Zichuan..."
At this time, the Demon God Emperor asked, "Why did Zichuan Yuanxing adopt him?"
"…The reason for adoption: unknown. When he was seven years old, his mother died, the reason: unknown."
Prince Katon curled his lips and said, "This is really detailed information!"
Heisha seemed not to hear the prince's sarcasm, and the sound of the tablet was not trembling at all: "In 19769, Zichuan Xiu entered the Far East Military Academy. In 1977, Liufeng's army surrounded the imperial capital, and Zichuan Xiu reinforced himself, leading 800 cadets to defeat Liufeng Xishan Army under the imperial capital city. Then, he fought a battle with the reinforcements from Liufeng's family. He won seven battles and seven victories, and drove Liufeng Xishan out of the territory of Zichuan's family."
"Oh!" The demon giants in the room were shocked and sighed softly. They also heard about the reputation of Feng Xishan, the mainstream contemporary family of Liufeng Family, and knew that they were a general in the human world who was famous for his resourcefulness, but they did not know that he had such a crushing defeat. He once played with the eleven-year-old Zichuan Xiu in his palm.
Heisha continued to tell: "At that time, Zichuan Yuanxing was dead, and the new chief was not yet established. At that time, the president Yang Minghua was in power.
"The Yang Minghua died in the turmoil in the imperial capital not long ago?" asked the Demon Emperor gently.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, it is this person. After Zichuan Yuanxing's death, this person has been ambitious and intends to monopolize the power. At this time, the rapid rise of the new figure Zichuan Xiu aroused his alert. A month later, a palace coup was launched like lightning, and Zichuan Xiu was removed from military power and sent to the Far East."
"The eleven-year-old inexperienced young child is a disproportionate opponent to a veteran who has more than twenty years of experience in political struggle. No matter how genius Zichuan Xiu is on the battlefield, in terms of politics, the lack of experience and experience is an irreparable fatal injury. We can see clearly from this matter." Prince Katon said seriously.
Yun Qianxue quickly lowered her head to hide the smile on her face. He didn't expect Prince Katon to be so stupid and impatient. Everyone could hear that the prince was talking about the struggle between Zichuan Xiu and Yang Minghua on the surface, but in fact he was an hinting: His Highness of the Prince is naturally the "veteran with rich experience and experience". As for who is the "inexperienced young child"? You might as well guess it.
"His Highness the Prince said very much." Heisha said calmly, as if he could not hear the implication of the stuttering words: "As you expected, in this palace coup, Zichuan Xiu was defeated. But he did not give up. Seven years later, in the seventies and seventies of the empire, he made a comeback and appeared in the central stage of the family struggle as the deputy commander."
The Demon God Emperor asked: "At that time, it was Yang Minghua who was in power in the Zichuan family? How could he be so stupid and willing to let his opponent go back?"
"We may not know the secret. But my guess is: Yang Minghua has no choice. At that time, his biggest enemy was not Zichuan Xiu, but the seventh generation chief of the family who was hidden on the surface and was aggressive in secret, and was stepping forward step by step. He no longer cared about Zichuan Xiu, a deputy commander who had no soldiers and no power, and seemed insignificant."
"But, he was wrong again this time: it was this Zichuan Xiu that played a key decisive role in the incident in the imperial capital: He killed Lei Xun, the commander of the Central Army who was known as the number one master in Zichuan at the time, and deterred and incorporated his subordinates, causing Yang Minghua to lose the largest and strongest support in the military - you should all know that whether it is Yang Minghua or Zichuan Ganxing, no matter which force, if there is no support from the military, his doomsday will come. This should be the main reason for Yang Minghua's defeat in the incident in the imperial capital. Otherwise, even if it is Di Lin turned against him with his Far East men. The Central Army, which had absolutely strong forces, could also destroy Di Lin and the few Sterling Guards overnight. -- By the way, the two biggest enemies of our gods: Sterling and Di Lin, both of whom quickly became successful because of their merits in the Imperial Capital Incident. One of them became the commander of the capital and the other served as the inspector general of the Zichuan family. In contrast, in terms of the merits and performances that night, Zichuan Xiu was definitely not smaller than them."
Prince Katon asked, "Zichuan Xiu has made such a great contribution. What kind of reward did Zichuan Shenxing give him?"
"Nothing." Heisha said lightly.
"What?"
"The day after the incident, Zichuan Xiu removed his military power, deprived him of his active-duty military personnel, and was arranged to be in the reserve service. It is said that it was because of his disagreement with Zichuan's political leaders."
Yun Qianxue nodded thoughtfully and began to understand why Zichuanxiu always exuded such unsuccessful melancholy.
The Demon God Emperor spoke out: "It seems that Zichuan Xiu is indeed dissatisfied with the Zichuan family. - Is there any information about his personality?"
Heisha laughed out loud: "Everyone, has anyone ever heard of "Xiuziying"?"
How could it be that I hadn't heard of it! The demon giants here all laughed. Karan said, "I heard it as soon as I entered the Far East. I heard it was a very famous hotel?"
"Wrong!" Prince Katon corrected his younger brother without hesitation: "『Xiuziying』 is a big chamber of commerce, specializing in buying and selling Far East supplies."
Governor Ross also spoke out: "I heard that the 'Xiuzi Camp' is a large casino opened by humans and was told by my subordinates."
"Everyone is right." Heisha said in a peaceful tone: "But they are only part of it. In fact, do you know who is the founder and leader of "Xiuziying"?"
The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows: "Is it Zichuan Xiu?"
Heisha stood up and bowed respectfully to the Emperor of God: "Your Majesty is extremely wise, and you can see thousands of miles clearly!"
The Demon Emperor smiled faintly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guessed casually, who knows it is really."
The giants of the demon clan burst into laughter again, and the Demon God Emperor laughed, saying, "I understand the military advisor a little. As the leader of the family, Zichuan Xiu was not focused on fighting but was determined to make money. Does it mean that he is greedy? Or at least, his love for wealth is far higher than his loyalty to the Zichuan family?"
Heisha replied solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise and he is speaking to the point! In addition to greed, it is said that Zichuan Xiu is also a lustful person. Under his indulgence, the "Xiuziying" army can be said to be the worst, worst and most unruly army in the entire Zichuan family."
The Demon Emperor said softly: "It is such a bad and poor army that has been supporting Pai City for a full month, which has made my invincible army unable to advance?"
Although the tone of the God Emperor was light, the weight was not light at all. Yun Qianxue, Karan, Katon and others who participated in the Pai battle all had sweat on their foreheads and immediately knelt down to apologize. Prince Katon said tremblingly: "I am incompetent and ineffective in fighting. I have insulted Your Majesty's reputation as a divine martial artist. Please punish him severely."
"Get up." The Demon Emperor waved his hand gently: "Now is not the time to apologize." He pondered: "What do you think about the Zichuan Xiu incident?"
"Your Majesty," Ghana Governor Ross had a strong border accent: "I still said the same thing: Kill him! Humans are not trustworthy, and human traitors are even more untrustworthy. Since he can betray the Zichuan family for money today, he will be able to betray our clan for money tomorrow! The more talented Zichuan Xiu is, the more dangerous he is. Letting such a dangerous person stay in our clan and even entrust with important tasks is a great threat!"
Everyone smiled: It is not surprising that the outspoken Ghana Ghana said this. He has always been the most stubborn demon supremacist, and he firmly believed that except for the demons, the rest of the races are not worthy of survival and are only worthy of their killing.
"My opinion is the same as yourselves," Karan smiled at Governor Ross: "Let's kill him."
Yun Qianxue looked at Karan strangely. The night before yesterday, Karan said in front of him: Zichuan Xiu is a priceless treasure for the gods, because he holds an important position in the central government, is familiar with Zichuan Yuanxing, Zichuan Shenxing, and Zichuan Ning, who is about to succeed as the general. He has a close relationship with family famous generals such as Sterling and Dilin, and is well aware of the inside story of the Zichuan family's decision-making center. Compared with him, Lei Hong is just a local general and is far less important.
"He is the key to help the gods open the door of the Zichuan family." Kalan finally described the importance of Zichuan Xiu.
How did Your Highness’s attitude change so quickly, and didn’t say hello to me? Yun Qianxue is quite confused.
Suddenly, he found that in the eyes of the seemingly serious prince, a cunning light flashed. Yun Qianxue suddenly realized and understood Kalan's intention.
Sure enough, Prince Katon immediately spoke anxiously: "His Majesty, the views of his sons are different. Zichuan Xiu is a hundred times smarter and more capable than Lei Hong. If he can use it for our tribe, it will definitely be of great benefit to our tribe's great cause of unifying the world. He has now betrayed the Zichuan family and human beings and has no way out. As long as we are willing to take him in and give him glory and wealth, he will definitely devote himself to us."
As soon as Prince Katon finished speaking, Karan immediately said, "What my brother said makes sense, and it seems to be one level higher than what I have seen. The brother is far-sighted and has experienced people, and admires them. Since the elder brother is willing to guarantee Zichuanxiu, what else can I worry about? I will take back my opinion."
Prince Katon was proud and a humble smile appeared on his face: "Where, where." He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and forced a smile.
Yun Qianxue resisted the urge to laugh loudly and said with a smile: "Since His Highness the Prince is willing to guarantee Zichuan Xiu, then the Wei minister has no objection." He looked at Kalan, and the two exchanged a knowing look: Now Prince Katun, the guarantor, cannot escape!
"I have an opinion." To everyone's surprise, Chief Military Advisor Heisha said calmly: "Weichen thinks that this Zichuan Xiu is very suspicious."
The Demon Emperor asked in surprise: "Why? Mr. Military Advisor, after hearing your introduction just now, I thought you agreed to take in Zichuan Xiu."
"Your Majesty, I believe that Zichuan Xiu's reason for defection is not sufficient. It is very likely that he will have other plans to join our clan."
Prince Katon frowned: "Military advisor, what you said just now is that Zichuan Xiu is greedy for money and lust, greedy for life and death. In addition, Zichuan Shenxing is also very unfair to him. He must be dissatisfied with the Zichuan family - isn't this a sufficient reason for rebellion?"
Heisha was silent. It took him a long time to speak out: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the two Your Highnesses. This is just a feeling of Weichen, and there is no basis: Weichen thinks that Zichuan Xiu should not be a rebellious person, he and Lei Hong are not the same person."
Yun Qianxue was shocked. He had the same idea as Heisha, but he couldn't express it in specific language. It was just a feeling. Zichuan Xiu gave him the impression that he was not a shameless person who would betray his country and the people. His eyes were quite clear.
Everyone's eyes turned to the Demon God Emperor, and no one spoke any more. Everyone knew the influence of the Chief Military Advisor on the Demon God Emperor. Since he said that, it would be equivalent to sentenced Zichuan Xiu to death. Everyone was waiting for a crisp word "kill" to spit out from His Majesty's mouth, and the silence in the room was filled with blood.
The Demon Emperor sighed softly, closed his eyes, leaned back against the back of the chair, with a calm expression, and his fingers gently tapped the table in front of him. This was his usual action when he was pondering. Only the crisp sound of the table being knocked in the tent was heard "khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
After a moment, the Demon Emperor opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light: "You said that my god clan, as the strongest race on the continent, has been fighting with humans for thousands of years. Why can't he conquer humans who are far weaker than our god clan?"
Yun Qianxue and others were all attracted by each other, but they didn't understand why the Demon God Emperor asked such a question that seemed to be completely inconsistent with the current issue.
Everyone frowned: Why can't the demon race defeat humans? Obviously, for thousands of years, the history of the demon race fighting with humans has won more than lose less. However, since historical records, the territory of the demon kingdom has never been able to cross the west of the Guqi Mountains.
This seemingly simple military issue, carefully analyzed, involves extremely complex political, economic, historical, humanistic and geographical factors. How can it be explained clearly for a while?
Seeing everyone's embarrassment, the Demon God Emperor smiled: "It seems that my problem is not good. I will say it in another way: Everyone thinks that what is the biggest obstacle for our clan to conquer humans at present?"
Prince Katon answered first: "His Majesty, my son believes that our biggest obstacle is the natural danger of Valen. In history, our tribe launched many attacks on humans, but they failed because they could not capture Valen. In the plains, humans are definitely not our opponents. As long as we break through the Fortress of Valen, our tribe will be in front of the army, and conquering the continent will be easy!"
Prince Katon said it inspiringly, thinking that this time he would definitely be praised by the God Emperor. The Demon Emperor shook his head gently: "The establishment of the Valen Fortress is only one or two hundred years, but our war with mankind has begun since history and lasted for thousands of years. Three hundred years ago, our army also entered the central hinterland of mankind, but..." The Demon Emperor sighed and stopped talking. Everyone helped the God Emperor make up for the words in his heart: "It's just that unfortunately he met the peerless master Zuo Jiaming King, and he was defeated."
"Your Majesty," said Governor Ross. "I believe that the setback of our tribe this time was all because of the Zichuan family's top general Stirling. He held Pai and used his weak force to restrain the main army of our tribe, delayed our attack on the Fortress of Valen, and missed a great opportunity, resulting in failure. This man is skilled in military tactics, uses his troops as gods, and his soldiers are elite and loyal. With him, he will definitely be the biggest obstacle for our tribe to enter the mainland in the future!"
The Demon Emperor nodded, but said nothing, and turned to Karan: "What do you think?"
"Father," even in front of the demon emperor who was so terrifying that the world was full of fear, Karan still looked careless and indifferent: "I am more worried about Di Lin than Sterling. He is extremely cruel and famous. When he meets him, our soldiers are so scared that they can't fight at all."
"I heard that there is a more famous Liu Fengshuang in the west, above Sterling and Di Lin, who is known as the number one general of humanity. Although we have not encountered the army of the Liufeng family, it is not clear whether she has a reputation, but the Liufeng family can compete with the Zichuan family for hundreds of years and its strength is definitely not below the Zichuan family. If we move west, the Liufeng family will definitely not sit still. At that time, we must be careful of this Liufengshuang." Yun Qianxue also spoke.
For a moment, the senior commanders of the demon clan expressed their opinions one after another, but saw that the Demon God Emperor looked faint and did not comment. Heisha asked respectfully: "I wonder what Your Majesty wants?"
"Everyone said it makes sense." The Demon Emperor thought: "But I think that our biggest enemy is not this, not the strong Fortress of Valen, not the King of Zuogaming, nor the famous generals such as Sterling, Dilin, Liu Fengshuang, but the will of human beings to resist!" The Demon Emperor emphasized his tone: "As a nation, human beings will to resist desperately, this is our greatest enemy."
"For a long time, human beings have regarded themselves as orthodox inherited from the mainland civilization. They regard other races - including us - as alien races, as uncivilized barbarians, as demons, ghosts, and human-eating monsters. They reject us, but are afraid of us. Every time our gods attack, humans, regardless of old or child, all the people are fighting. Although our gods can defeat the regular army of human beings on the battlefield, they often cause great damage to the human war of all people and are unable to advance again."
"We cannot conquer a nation with one heart. If we want to conquer humanity, we must first dismantle their fighting spirit and destroy their will to resist. In this matter, Zichuan Xiu has great value."
The God Emperor finished his speech and looked at his subordinates with anticipation in his eyes.
It was Heisha who first understood his intention: "I understand. Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I agree to take in Zichuan Xiu."
Yun Qianxue thought for a while and understood the meaning of the Demon God Emperor: No matter whether Zichuan Xiu came with a purpose or not, he was the adopted son of Zichuan Yuanxing, the former chief of the Zichuan family, and the eldest brother of Zichuan Ning. The imperial capital counterattack seven years ago made him famous and was considered one of the best generals of the Zichuan family and famous in the human world. Although he was both the deputy commander, his political influence was far greater than that of the local general Lei Hong. The clan is willing to accept, value Zichuan Xiu, and promote this matter widely, which will bring great ideological impact to mankind. Subordinate human soldiers and officers will think: Even senior officers like Zichuan Xiu are afraid of surrendering, so why should we work so hard? Those scum among humans who are forgetful of their righteousness, seeing that Zichuan Xiu is rewarded so generously, they will even rush to surrender in groups.
After understanding the intention of the God Emperor, all the ministers praised him, saying that our emperor was wise and wise, far-sighted, and beyond his reach. Faced with the admiration from his subordinates, the Demon Emperor lowered his head humbly: "So, I decided to follow Lei Hong's convention to be named a marquis of Zichuan Xiu. Do you have any opinions?"
How could you have any objection? Yun Qianxue and others lit their heads quickly. The well-behaved Prince Karan asked, "Father, I wonder what name do you plan to give Zichuan Xiu?"
The Demon God Emperor pondered slightly, and his brows stretched out: "Ayun, I remember you have a banquet tomorrow night?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. To celebrate the defeat of mankind in the Far East, we plan to hold a grand banquet tonight, which will be attended by all the senior generals in the Far East."
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "It's very good. In order to commemorate this victory in the Far East, I plan to enthrone Zichuan Xiu: "Far East Marquis" - how?"
Yun Qianxue and others praised him deeply and deeply admired His Majesty the Divine Emperor for his quick and profound meaning.
On the evening of March 19th, night gradually fell. The sky did not darken, and the demons were holding a grand celebration ceremony for the victory of the Far East War. In the Yulin Army camp, countless burning fires illuminated the sky, making the stars in the sky pale. The entrance of the largest camp in the middle of the camp was filled with red cuckoos that looked like victory, surrounded by crowds, filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere.
In the huge camp, there were bright lights and loud voices, and from time to time there were toasts mixed with "Long live Your Majesty" mixed with.
The burning fire illuminated the colorful feathers on the shoulders and the emblems on the chest of the demon generals. The military band of the Tarshi Officer School was playing a melodious march, and several basses with thick voices were singing in the tune, winning the cheers of the officers. It was full of enjoyment.
"Cheers, for victory!" An Senean general, who was full of green hair, raised his wine glass and shouted loudly.
To be continued...
