Chapter 173 Applying Pressure
In Awang's view, if it is not handled well, it will lead to a big war if not careful, and he is not optimistic about the final outcome of this war.
In the current situation, it is basically impossible for the third prince of the Sea Tribe to lead an army of 100,000 to capture the royal city of the Southern Wilderness people.
However, if the third prince of the Sea Clan was beaten to death under the Nanhuang King's City, then the next step would inevitably be a series of battles between the Sea Clan and the people of the Southern Wilderness.
In terms of strength, the Sea Tribe has the advantage, while the Southern Wilderness people are weaker.
In terms of geographical location, the people of the Southern Wilderness have a comprehensive advantage. The Sea Tribe is slightly better except in places with water sources. At other times, in the dense forests of the South, they have lowered their own strength and have been using their own strength.
Weaknesses, fighting against the Southern Wilderness's strengths.
But don't forget that the people of the Southern Wilderness have another big enemy, and that is the Li Kingdom.
As far as the Li Kingdom is concerned, they are naturally eternal enemies with the people of the Southern Wilderness. This is not based on will. This is due to the situation of the two sides and the geographical environment.
Li countries have always faced the problem of small territory and limited development. There are powerful countries in its south and west.
So if the Li Kingdom wants to develop, it can only go north to south.
But in the north, the situation faced by the Li Kingdom was very severe, and they were even at a disadvantage.
In this case, he can only pass through the south first, eat the south into his stomach, and then turn to the north.
Under such a strategy, it has always maintained an aggressive attitude toward the Southern Wilderness.
But by the time of this generation, the kings had already made it clear that they wanted to completely devour the people of the Southern Wilderness.
And based on the quick success and quick success character of the kings of this generation, it is obvious that he wants to solve the Southern Wilderness problem during his term of office.
So the result of the Southern Wilderness people completely offending the Sea Clan is that they have to deal with enemies from two directions at the same time, one is the Li Kingdom on land, and the other is the Sea Clan from the sea.
But the strength of the two enemies was stronger than him.
In this way, his geographical advantage is infinitely offset by infinite weakening.
The final result can be said to be very unoptimistic.
In this way, it is excusable for Awang and the Southern Wilderness officials to be passive and lazy.
Especially these people all know what happened this time.
There is no need to talk about the secret fight between the two parties. Just speaking from the surface, what Miao Tong did this time can be said to be a big mistake and cannot be justified in theory.
To put it in layman's terms, the fault for this incident lies with the people of the Southern Wilderness, while the greater justice lies with the Hai Tribe.
And the most important thing here is that the two sides are not enemies.
But allies.
The reason why the Hai Clan's army appears in the territory of the Southern Wilderness people is because they responded to the Southern Wilderness people's request to help the Southern Wilderness people fight the war and help the Southern Wilderness people to deal with the Li Kingdom.
People came to help you fight and deal with the enemy, but you stabbed them in the back. This is unjustifiable no matter where you say it.
Therefore, in this battle, Ngawang really did not want to fight, and the posture he was showing now was forced to do so because of the order of the Great Heavenly King.
"Give me my order and let me attack."
Kui Hao issued the order to attack the city, but the generals standing beside him did not take action for a moment. Instead, they all looked at the guru.
Seeing that his generals did not accept his orders immediately, Kui Hao was also a little angry, but he had nothing to do.
He knew that this was because Guru, the old commander, was here.
Although the Hai Clan is not as strict in laws as the Human Empire, it is actually very civilized, so it also has strict rules and regulations for this civil and military matter. In terms of military matters, although Kui Hao is the third prince, he is actually very civilized.
In normal times, there are very few military forces he has access to.
This is also the reason why this time, although he is the commander of the army, he still has to be accompanied by a senior marshal.
Marshal Gulu is the one who sends troops this time, the real commander who can command all the generals. Of course, in name, he must put Kuihao in front.
Otherwise, if the prince is allowed to control the military power at will, at a critical moment, various military rebellions may be launched, thus threatening the tranquility and unity of the entire Hai Clan and causing internal divisions in the Hai Clan.
Therefore, this is also the practice of the Sea Clan. In peacetime, military power is unified and managed by the Sea Emperor, and power is divided among the major military commanders.
When the prince needs to lead an army to go on an expedition, he is assisted by the military marshal.
In this way, the prince will not only get this military training, but also prevent the prince from having some undesirable delusions and causing some major accidents when he has the general power in his hands during peacetime.
However, although this system is good, in the actual operation process, it is inevitably somewhat unsatisfactory.
Especially the prince who is being suppressed, in the current situation, he feels very uncomfortable. Any instructions cannot be fully implemented in the first time, and must be approved by Marshal Guru again.
Only after confirmation can it be executed.
This will not be a problem when both parties agree, but if Marshal Guru does not agree with some of the third prince's orders, then it will become a bit troublesome and embarrassing.
For example, His Highness the Third Prince has already ordered the siege to begin.
But all the generals first turned their attention to Marshal Guru, waiting for Marshal Guru's confirmation.
Marshal Guru looked at these generals, and he saw desire in their faces and eyes. They were eager to attack the city.
This is no surprise to Guru, because he also came here like this. The generals of the Sea Tribe are eager to establish meritorious deeds and are not afraid of powerful enemies. They regard conquering their opponents as their greatest glory.
In this despicable incident, the people of the Southern Wilderness attacked their compatriots from the Sea Tribe, and shamelessly used the corpses of their compatriots as materials for refining weapons and armor. Such things can be said to have aroused
The public outrage of the Hai Clan.
Such behavior must be severely punished, and the generals on the South Wilderness side who did such things must also be severely punished.
This is also the reason why the Guru did not stop the third prince when he announced that he would lead an army to seek justice, because the Guru knew that he could not stop him at all.
But it's one thing for them to seek justice, but it's another thing to actually encounter such a siege and launch a huge-scale war.
To put a little pressure on the people of the Southern Wilderness, let them understand this, who is in the upper position between the Sea Tribe and the Southern Wilderness people is also a marshal who supports and approves.
But on the other hand, he made people feel that he had other ideas, that is, it was okay to apply pressure, but it was another matter to really start a serious battle.
This is the difference between him as a marshal, he is the planner, and he is different from when he was a general before, because this time he is the person who formulates strategies.
For example, in the opinion of Marshal Tomb, it is simply impossible to attack this royal city of the Southern Wilderness people with the current 100,000-strong army. If the attack is carried out forcefully,
There will only be countless corpses left here.
If the Sea Clan goes all out, Guru believes that the fall of the Southern Wilderness King's City will be inevitable, but is it worth paying such a high price for this matter?
Guru even believed that there was no need to use military means in this matter. He only needed to maintain a certain amount of pressure and force the eight parties in the Southern Wilderness to negotiate, so that he could recover a sum from the negotiation table for this incident.
Reasonable explanation.
Instead of fighting to the death with the other party and making unnecessary sacrifices.
But these are just the thoughts of the Guru. As a marshal-level person, the Guru considers issues very comprehensively.
From Kui Hao's point of view, the current situation requires an attack first, to increase the pressure, and to make the other party understand the attitude of the Sea Clan, that is, this matter will never let go until the young boy is handed over.
