Yang Jie's strategy is actually very simple. It is to find a way to completely regain Hongzhou to deter all kinds of provocations from the Wanshi Kingdom. On the other hand, to completely integrate and unify the country and restore the former glory of Daheiqing.
Ma Xiaoquan had discussed this issue with Zhao Yuntai. Zhao Yuntai did not object to Yang Jie's overall strategy, but he believed that it was not the time yet. The chaos in Hongzhou did not form in a day or three. Zhao Yuntai believed that if he wanted to completely
To regain Hongzhou, half of the tribes in Hongzhou will be exterminated. Zhao Yuntai did this a hundred years ago, but with little effect. Once he relaxes, the tribes in Hongzhou will be like leeks, cutting off one crop and risking another.
Once it comes out, it will continue to grow.
Zhao Yuntai gave Ma Xiaoquan advice. He believed that blocking was better than sparing. If the major tribes in Hongzhou could be controlled, the overall control of Hongzhou would be able to move forward on the right route. However... He was so prosperous in the past.
If he didn't do it, he didn't believe that Ma Xiaoquan could do it.
Of course, Ma Xiaoquan didn't think he could do it. He was very self-aware and knew that he did not have the overall strategic layout and vision of Yang Jie, the king of Heiqing, nor the decisiveness of Zhao Yuntai, nor was he proficient in playing political tricks. His thoughts
, just wanted to live a peaceful life with a wife and children, but Ma Xiaoquan knew that there was one person who could regain Hongzhou.
Turning his head to look at Princess Ting gently, he found that she was listening carefully to the arguments of the clan leaders. Ma Xiaoquan suddenly had a bold idea in his heart...
During the entire meeting, Ma Xiaoquan did not get too involved in the fierce quarrels between the various tribes. Those tribes either looked down on the Shadow Clan and felt that they were too weak, or they felt that it was impossible for a person like Ma Xiaoquan to control Hongzhou.
Recover, after all, Zhao Yuntai of the United Nations a hundred years ago also made similar bold statements, but he did not finally withdraw from the United Nations.
...
At night, Princess Ting and Ma Xiaoquan discussed the next strategic plan. Facing Princess Ting, Ma Xiaoquan felt more and more that if she were a man, her achievements would be higher than him and Zhao Yuntai.
"What are you thinking about? Are you listening to what I say?" Princess Ting saw Ma Xiaoquan in a daze and couldn't help but remind her.
"Ah? Oh~~" Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I suddenly feel that you are more suitable to be the commander-in-chief than me."
"What are you talking about?" Princess Ting said with a straight face, "It's already this time, do you want to give up your choice?"
"That's not true~" Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes, "I have a bold idea, well, I want to act alone."
"Alone? What do you want to do?"
"Behead!" Ma Xiaoquan said calmly.
"Beheading?"
"Yes, behead!" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, "You have also seen in the past two days that there are nearly a hundred tribes in Hongzhou, large and small. If we want to conquer and destroy them one by one, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat them for decades.
End, I talked to your father, and he said that the mistake he made in the past was to destroy one by one, and then more and more were destroyed..."
Princess Ting nodded: "Yes, this is also one of the reasons why I stopped participating in the subsequent battles, because I was tired of the endless killing and guarding, I was too tired."
"Yes, we will all be tired one day, so why not just implement the beheading plan once and for all. I will be responsible for the beheading, and you will be responsible for the aftermath. This way we can recover Hongzhou as quickly as possible. Of course, there will definitely be many problems after the recovery. That
At that time, the problem can no longer be solved simply by force. At that time, we will need a bunch of politicians to talk nonsense."
"Yes~" Princess Ting nodded, "I agree, but do you want to start now?"
"No, I'm not strong enough, and I still need some people I want."
"who?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Bai tribe, blood-clothed general! He is the first person I want."
"General in Blood Clothes? What are you going to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I don't know, so I need someone before that..."
Speaking of this person, Ma Xiaoquan actually rejected him, because every time she met this person, she was unable to resist. Although they had been close to each other, Ma Xiaoquan's fear of her was deep in his bones.
"How long do you need?"
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes: "I need to plan these things for at least five years, but before I do it, we need to win a few beautiful battles."
As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan spread out the map of Hongzhou and pointed at several tribes that were relatively close to Echo Canyon, the current base camp of the Shadow Tribe: "Let's attack them."
Although it is only a finger's distance away, in fact, if these tribes are to be conquered, the pressure on the Shadow Clan will be very huge. The Shadow Clan is located in the north. In addition to the several tribes that have already formed an alliance, other tribes that Ma Xiaoquan wants are nearby.
The distance from the Shadow Clan is actually quite far, and the road is not easy to walk. There are also several natural dangerous passes, and these dangerous passes have been controlled by the nearby tribes for a long time.
Posture.
The biggest fear when marching and fighting is not being able to keep up with supplies. For these reasons, ShadowClan is actually unable to go on an expedition unless ShadowClan moves its base camp to a place with a good geographical location.
Sure enough, after Ma Xiaoquan pointed out the destination, Princess Ting talked about the supply issue.
Ma Xiaoquan gave the simplest and most helpless advice - take every step.
Although there were only four words, Princess Ting could hear Ma Xiaoquan's helplessness. Indeed, with the current strength of the Shadow Clan, it would be difficult to even gnaw out the nearest hostile tribes around them, not to mention their ultimate goal is to destroy the entire Hongzhou.
Regain unity.
"Is five years...enough?" Princess Ting asked worriedly.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "To be honest, it's not enough, but you and I can wait, but others can't wait. These five years will be the development years of the Shadow Clan. If our Shadow Clan has no development in these five years, then in the future
In the days to come, we might as well live and cultivate the fields in this echoing canyon with peace of mind."
"Hmm~" Princess Ting nodded, "I remember that you have ten subordinates in the outside world... They... have all been gathered together by me. Well, as for
Their previous tasks have been handed over to others."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan's eyes lit up and he said, "I didn't expect you to do these things for me...but many of them already have families..."
Princess Ting shook her head and smiled: "Even so, they followed you without hesitation. You tell me, what's so good about you, that you have so many women treating you well and following you wholeheartedly." As she said this, Princess Ting reached out and grabbed her.
Ma Xiaoquan's ears, listening to her tone, were obviously a little jealous.
Ma Xiaoquan quickly begged for mercy, then smiled and said: "Logically speaking, my dear Princess Ting, who has lived for more than a hundred years, shouldn't be jealous, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't say it was okay, but once she said that Princess Ting twisted her hard, Ma Xiaoquan was so painful that she begged for mercy again.
"You really don't understand women's thoughts..." Princess Ting leaned close to Ma Xiaoquan's ear and whispered, "I dare say that if you want to sleep with all ten of your subordinates, they will definitely not sleep with them.
Will refuse."
"Ahem~~" Ma Xiaoquan coughed violently and said quickly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never had that kind of thought towards them."
"Just because you haven't, doesn't mean they haven't, especially since they didn't hesitate to abandon all their families and follow you here for you. You said, if a woman doesn't love you, why would she do this?"
"Uh~" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head. Although Princess Ting's words were a bit extreme, they were indeed a fact that could be explained.
"But...the Victory Eleven...there is always one missing..." Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked far away in the direction of the United Nations.
...
United and united, inside the Fire Temple.
Li Qinghan stood quietly in front of the temple. At this moment, she was really in a good mood. She was holding two flower branches and carefully pruning them bit by bit with scissors. During the two years in the Fire Temple, the years had not diminished her peerless beauty.
Her appearance was eroded, but because of the blessing of the Goddess of Fire's identity, she seemed even more beautiful, but she still had an inaccessible coldness.
"Qinghan~" A man slowly walked into the hall and saw Li Qinghan standing pruning flowers. He couldn't help but said, "You are seven months pregnant, why are you still standing?"
After Ma Xiaoquan and Princess Ting held their wedding and left the United Alliance, Li Qinghan completely gave up the idea of getting back together with him. Even though she occasionally thought of all the happiness she had with Ma Xiaoquan in the past, she gradually let go of the resentment and resentment in her heart.
Unwilling.
She knew that Ma Xiaoquan was a man like the wind. She would never be able to fully grasp such a man. And the man walking towards him, although inferior to Ma Xiaoquan, was still devoted to her.
.
"It's okay..." Li Qinghan responded coldly. Although her face was expressionless, she still told the man, "The state affairs are so busy, do you still have time to come?"
The man stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched Li Qinghan's bulging abdomen: "I miss you, and I also miss our child."
Li Qinghan felt a little sad. Ma Xiaoquan also said the same thing a long time ago.
"What are you thinking about?" The man saw Li Qinghan's thoughts, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked gently.
"Nothing? By the way, where is Feng'er?"
The man chuckled: "That boy is a naughty boy, but don't worry, I have found the best teacher to teach him."
Feng'er is the son of Li Qinghan and Ma Xiaoquan. In the past, Li Qinghan had a complete break with Ma Xiaoquan because of their son. Later she found out that Feng'er was not dead.
