The Red General remained silent. She was wearing a mask, so others could not see her expression at all.
But He Lingchuan understood that from the Demon Emperor's point of view, Bejia had actually given up on Panlong City.
As long as Zhong Shengguang nods, successive war disasters will be avoided immediately, and Panlong City's long-standing serious problems will be wiped out;
As long as Zhong Shengguang nods, Bejia will inject capital here, and the economy and environment of Panlong Wasteland will see a significant improvement visible to the naked eye.
While the external and internal troubles have been greatly alleviated, Lingxu City actually does not ask Zhong Shengguang to abandon Mitian or to serve the Lingxu gods instead!
Others may not realize it, but He Lingchuan has traveled to Bejia and has a deep understanding of the rule and influence of the Lingxu gods on the northern demon kingdom. Therefore, he understands that this is a huge concession for the superior Lingxu City!
"Lingxu City believes that it has tried its best to show goodwill to us. This is the arrogance of a big country, and I am afraid it is also an ultimatum." Wen Daolun said slowly, "If Commander Zhong does not obey, Bejia will be furious.
"
The Demon Emperor has shown his utmost sincerity, but Panlong City abandons it like a worn-out shoe. How will Bejia react?
Everyone knows that this big country has a bad temper.
I am condescending and talk to you in a nice and angrily manner, but you don’t appreciate it and still want to blame me? Then beat me until you kneel down and call me daddy.
Fellow commander Zhao Xianhe couldn't help but said: "You are the first one to have the Demon Emperor personally 'recruit' him, aren't you?"
"No." Zhong Sheng's face turned cold, "The first one to set a precedent was King Yuan. Back then, Demon Emperor Bejia also sent him an official letter, hoping that he would give up resistance."
King Yuan refused, and the whole country resisted.
He Lingchuan and others already knew their fate.
Zhong Shengguang has finally reached this point. If he refuses to obey, he will risk the lives of millions of people to fight against Bejia and the gods!
This is really another big gamble and another reincarnation.
Zhong Shengguang's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present and said solemnly:
"Everyone present here is the backbone of Panlong City. They are also the backbone, blood and support of Panlong City. Zhong called everyone today because Panlong City is facing a critical moment again, just like it was seven years ago!"
Seven years ago? Everyone present was stunned. This special time point was when Zhong Shengguang rewarded the gods and asked for the coming of heaven.
Panlong City resisted for twelve years and was unable to survive, so it asked Mi Tian for help.
The appearance of Mi Tian possessed by General Red really saved Panlong City from danger.
Now, Panlong City has reached a critical moment of life and death again. Facing the olive branch extended by Bejia, is it prepared to compromise or fight to the end?
"I would like to tell you that if you are worried, don't dare to face Bejia, don't want to be entangled with it, and just want to live a peaceful life, you can get up and leave Panlong City now. The sky is big and the earth is big outside, Zhong
I wish everyone who left has a bright future." Zhong Shengguang pressed his hand on the table, "Those who choose to stay must be prepared to face the storm. From now on, peace and joy will have nothing to do with you!"
He unexpectedly issued an ultimatum, and the needle drop could be heard in the fighting hall.
The red general suddenly sat down and raised his long legs on the table.
This attitude is very clear. She was originally bound to Panlong City. Options did not exist for her.
General Nanke said loudly: "Bejia's recruitment also contains evil intentions. He also said that the Panlong Army must obey Xi Luo's dispatch. Hehe! They want to use us as spearmen. We will attack wherever they point. What kind of piss is Bejia?
?Even if we compromise with it, Panlong City will not really get any good results!"
He also sat down and said: "I will stay and live and die with Commander Zhong!"
He Lingchuan subconsciously glanced at him one more time.
General Nan Ke was a forthright man, and he did not shy away from speaking out when he impeached He Lingchuan last time.
Today he acted as Zhong Shengguang's assist.
This guy is not as straight as he seems.
Sure enough, after he made his speech, several generals sat down one after another.
"We are willing to serve as commander Zhong's vanguard."
"Bega's minions caused trouble in my hometown and caused us to leave our hometown. Now they are going to attack Panlong City again, and we will not evade it anymore!"
The snow leopard also hesitated for a moment before sitting in the chair.
The other nine people thought for a long time, took two steps forward, and bowed to Zhong Shengguang:
"I'm so ashamed of myself, Mr. Zhong."
"I'm really waiting for..."
Zhong Shengguang waved his hand: "Everyone and Panlongcheng gather and part ways. Our fate is over. There is no need for grudges. Zhong wishes you all to find the pure land of the world and live in peace and happiness."
Someone else asked in confusion: "The world is so vast, why are you worried that Bejia can't accommodate Panlong City?"
Bejia is so powerful, in comparison, Panlong City is just a firefly beside the bright moon.
Zhong Shengguang only said: "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?"
How could Bejia sit back and watch the new regime become stronger and threaten itself? Panlong City seems to have already shown such qualities.
What's worse is that Panlong City is actually not far from Bejia, and there are only a few weak countries in between.
The nine people looked at each other with shame on their faces, but finally turned around and left the Gange Hall.
If they stay, they will have to fight against Bejia, so they will leave Panlong City with their families and tribesmen.
He Lingchuan calculated that these nine people accounted for about 30% of the people present, and most of them were new faces.
It has only been a year and a half since they came to Panlong City, and they still do not have the faith of the soldiers and people of Panlong City, and are not ready to go against Bejia and live and die with Panlong City. This is not surprising at all.
People come here to seek a new life, not to fight.
After the hall door was closed again, Zhong Shengguang bowed and clasped his fists in front of everyone else: "You have entrusted your lives to live and die with Panlong City. Zhong expresses my gratitude and admiration, and I will not dare to live up to it!"
Those who stayed behind showed their feelings through actions, so he no longer had to hide and could speak freely.
"After the founding of Bejia, the world has been in turmoil, with bloodshed everywhere. For six hundred years, it has brought endless nightmare energy to the God Realm. For example, Panlong City is located in a remote place. For nineteen years, the war has been fierce and dangerous, and it is all thanks to Bejia! The human world is behind it!
The source of the suffering lies in the demon country in the north, because this great country is actually a human thief with a strong enemy and sick of itself!"
All the generals present knew about the Nightmare Qi, and no one showed any surprise.
"Back in the day to reward the gods, Zhong made a blood oath to do his best to move this big mountain above the heads of all living beings. Even if Bejia is really as majestic as a distant mountain, I will try my best to shake the mountain and move the earth.
What no one can do!" Zhong Shengguang's voice echoed in the quiet room, "Seven years ago, Panlong City was in danger, so I did not dare to spread this oath. Seven years later, Panlong City became increasingly prosperous, but Zhong was determined to do so." That year.
Zhong Shengguang is just a small commander, with not many people, not much financial resources, a small territory, and a bad situation. Even if he has ambitions, he can only keep it in his heart to avoid making others laugh.
Today's Panlong City is completely different from the old days. Zhong Shengguang finally has the opportunity to express his feelings with confidence!
He Lingchuan frowned.
Is it not like this if we manage the Yangshan Islands by ourselves?
When his power was still weak and his manpower was insufficient, he could only keep his true strategic intentions deep in his heart and dare not tell anyone - except for the personal soul-capturing mirror.
"Master Zhong's ambition is also our ambition. Besides, the conditions offered by Bejia seem to be favorable, but in fact they don't give us a second way. It requires the Panlong Wasteland to be chaotic, as weak as the southern countries, or simply become
Become its minions and make waves in the world for it, just like Ba Ling and Xianyu now." Wen Daolun said solemnly, "Three hundred years ago, except for Bejia and several vassal demon kingdoms, those who compromised with it had no good end.
.”
Taking history as a guide, this is indeed the case. Everyone nodded.
Zhong Shengguang said: "Now that the tone has been set, let's discuss countermeasures. Bejia won't give up this time. I'm afraid there will be another big battle in Panlong City soon! However, we can't just wait for Bejia to show up.
trick."
He is a seasoned military strategist and will not stand up and challenge Bega head-on.
Therefore, after the military meeting ended, Panlong City sent a letter to Lingxu City, first protesting against the hypocritical usurpation of the throne, questioning its legality, and then making many demands regarding Bega's mediation agreement.
Since it’s called an “agreement,” it’s something that can be negotiated.
Once Panlong City is subdued, Bejia wants to use it as a chess piece. It is best to form a deterrent force on the surrounding areas and create conflicts and tensions.
Therefore, Panlongcheng must fight for its own rights and interests in the agreement and strive for more initiative——
For example, the territory it occupies belongs to it and cannot be returned or exchanged!
In short, it's just a word, bargain.
Panlong City and Bejia are far apart, and even if a bird passes the message, it will take several months to go back and forth and push the envelope.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Panlong City prepared its troops intensively for war, and was led by General Red to launch a strong attack on Xianyou Kingdom again!
The Xianyou Kingdom had suffered many defeats in the past, and the soldiers and civilians changed their minds when they heard about the red general. This time the war was rekindled and burned directly to the north of the river.
The Red General launched a surprise attack, which was so overwhelming that he captured three cities in a row before encountering any decent resistance.
Xianyu had no choice but to organize a counterattack while asking Ba Ling and Bejia for help.
Lingxu City's reaction was a bit subtle.
Panlongcheng is negotiating with it, asking it to recognize the land it occupies.
So before the agreement is officially signed, it seems reasonable for Panlongcheng to take the opportunity to attack and occupy more.
At this time, should Lingxu City show some sincerity?
Of course, there are capable people in the big country who have pointedly pointed out that this is probably Zhong Shengguang's move to confuse the enemy; and about the issuance of Panlong City government orders, military mobilization and various inside information, they are also sent to Bejia in a steady stream.
But all these can only be suggestions and references. Making decisions is a matter for the Demon Emperor and the Gods.
If Panlongcheng is just arrogant, can the agreement really be concluded in the end?
Bega was probably very excited about this possibility.
If you ask for something, you will easily get confused.
With how powerful Panlong City is today, if they can compromise with Bega and act as Bega's long-range thug, it will be more useful than Baling and Xianyu combined.
