On the edge of the camp on the cliff, Emperor Xin stood with his hands behind his hands, watching Marquis Wu Cheng's boat go further and further away.
In a sense, Wu Chenghou's guess is correct.
According to various clues obtained previously, there is a high probability that multiple barbarians have jointly laid a trap on the sea to Ryukyu.
According to Di Xin's previous plan, although he knew that this would be very risky, he would still take the risk if the negotiations on the capital side could not be concluded.
But it's different now.
That's right, Di Xin can now confirm that the cube in his hand can perfectly isolate the "humanoid" from sensing him.
It has been a month and a half since the last time the clone consciousness came to the Ancient Moon Realm again.
Just half a month ago, he left the prehistoric world with the cube, and also learned the secret technique of hiding his own beacon.
However, when the calculated time arrived, the ghost did not appear on time.
There is no need to look at him a second time, with a "human-like" attitude toward him, and even if he is not completely awake, if he can detect Di Xin's position, even if it is just a general area, the shadow will definitely be there.
Come to this world.
As long as he keeps the cube with him, he doesn't have to worry about being sensed by the "person-like".
Then, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to lock himself and go to the Ruins Realm, there won't be any danger.
Therefore, regarding the battle for the position of world leader in the Ancient Moon Realm, he no longer needs to work hard to promote the final battle.
Plans often fail to keep up with changes.
Although the timing of the Cube's appearance was a little late, which would lead to many hidden dangers in his expedition, since there was no shortage of time, there was no need to be stubborn enough to continue.
He still refused to withdraw his troops here, and his focus had shifted from the crusade to putting pressure on the barbarian missions in the capital.
As long as he doesn't withdraw his troops for a day, they will have to be on tenterhooks for a day, and then the advantage for the Dali side in negotiations will be greater.
Although Emperor Xin was not in the capital and could not personally participate in the negotiations, the greater the favor he gave to the barbarians, the greater his contribution to the negotiation would be.
Although Di Xin was destined to receive the greatest credit for his months-long campaign against the barbarians, no one would resent his lack of credit.
Moreover, based on the barbarian envoys who have already entered Beijing, it is not that easy for him to retreat.
If Emperor Xin retreated at will without saying hello, it would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the barbarian envoys and make them pay less for asking for peace.
For those gluttonous officials in the court, they could get five times the profit, but only got three times in the end, which is equivalent to a double loss.
This is a kind of bastard logic, but it is universal as long as it involves the interest field.
So as long as Di Xin dares to do that and tamper with their cake, then most of the achievements he has made and the reputation he has established will be wiped out, if not completely offset.
Don't underestimate those who are professional in using words and words. They may not be able to accomplish anything, but if they do something bad, as long as they can seize even a weak excuse, it will be enough to cause huge consequences.
This is the reason why Di Xin never extends his hands and feet into the Dali territory beyond Northern Xinjiang.
No matter how hard he tries in Northern Xinjiang, they will have nothing to say about how these barbarians send troops, as long as the result is good.
Don't look at Emperor Xin's current glory and his reputation as a "virtuous king", but in fact, under the close scrutiny of the officials in the capital headed by King Cheng, he has never stepped beyond the real danger.
Back to the present.
Since Di Xin is not in a hurry now, he will naturally not take unnecessary risks.
Although it is rare to be able to capture Ryukyu, in fact, it does not matter if we do not have it.
Turks, Goguryeo, and Uighurs.
The achievements of pacifying the three barbarians and adding three more territories to Dali were enough for the current Emperor Xin to compete for the next throne of Dali.
Any more is just the icing on the cake.
Not to mention, as long as the negotiations in Beijing are concluded, no matter what the final result is, his existing achievements will be increased again.
Therefore, Di Xin had only one attitude towards the possible barbarian coalition trap.
Just let them play.
They didn't dare go ashore to fight the expeditionary force anyway.
With the cliff here as a danger and the current combat power of the Immortal Army, as long as the number of the barbarian coalition forces does not exceed ten times that of the Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force, it is impossible for them to capture the camp.
Moreover, although he has not fully understood what Wu Chenghou's purpose is, it is absolutely impossible for him to let the barbarian coalition invade the Dali Sea.
It is dereliction of duty to stand idly by while the barbarians invade the Dali Sea.
And when it comes to this kind of border security issue, even a marquis or a border marshal can hardly afford the price of dereliction of duty.
Therefore, although the expeditionary force seems to be eyeing it, if nothing unexpected happens, this will be the end point of the expedition.
However, Di Xin did not reveal his plan on purpose. In fact, only he, Zeng Hongshen and Xizi knew about this decision.
Even Ouyang Xuan didn't know.
Marquis Wu Cheng is the uncle of the third prince, King Jing. This is no secret at all.
As for the disagreement between King Jing and King Yu, this was once known to everyone in the capital. Even the generals in Northern Xinjiang could find out with a little inquiry.
Even if you don't intend to curry favor, as long as you still plan to continue your official career, you naturally need to know the basic situation of your immediate boss.
Therefore, no matter how enthusiastic Wu Chenghou was, these generals from northern Xinjiang never really let down their guard.
Whether it was Ouyang Xuan or other generals who had accompanied Emperor Xin and Wuchenghou for dinner, they all believed that Emperor Xin's remarks about not being in a hurry to send troops were used to prevaricate Wuchenghou.
The reason why Wu Chenghou's guess is only correct in a certain sense is that——
With his current prestige in Northern Xinjiang, it is no exaggeration to say that he is right. There is no need to worry that his decision will cause dissatisfaction among his soldiers.
The reason why he did not speak out about his decision was just to prevent the soldiers in the expeditionary force from slacking off during training.
No matter how Di Xin's power develops in the future, even if he becomes the next emperor of Dali, the one he can trust most will be the Northern Xinjiang Army, which has been in operation for the longest time.
Therefore, when the final battle for the Realm Lord begins in the future, the Northern Xinjiang Army will inevitably be one of his main forces.
This battle is a war involving the entire planet, and there will inevitably be naval battles. Even if there is a dedicated navy, the Northern Xinjiang Army will inevitably go to the battlefield.
