Chapter 1858 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge
"Mr. Chen, what should we do now? Should we stop the attack?"
Tang Xuance had a solemn look on his face, and Gu Chen speculated that once Mu Yehou secured his position as King Lan, he would most likely turn against Pei Jun.
The united force of the Lan Army should not be underestimated, and when the Pei Army's front line is stretched too far, the situation will be extremely unfavorable!
Therefore, the safest choice is probably to stop in time. Pei Guo should tighten its front, speed up the digestion of the five captured counties, and strive to completely turn them into Pei Guo's territory to avoid long nights and dreams.
"Don't worry too much, speed up the attack! Remember that time is precious, do your best to win more territory!"
Gu Chen's eyes flashed, and he put forward an opinion that was completely different from what Tang Xuance had imagined.
"Why? Didn't Mr. Chen just say..."
Tang Xuance choked for breath and became confused.
He believed that the man in front of him could not understand why he would take the risk and continue to attack the Lan Kingdom.
"You don't need to ask so many questions. You will know why soon. Just do as I tell you." Gu Chen said.
Tang Xuance was speechless. He wanted to ask more questions, but he knew the style of the person in front of him and didn't like to explain things too clearly.
Seeing his determined look, Tang Xuance's uneasy heart relaxed a lot, he clasped his fists and left.
He also hoped in his heart that this person really had a solution. In that case, Pei State could gain more benefits from Lan State.
After Tang Xuance left, Ye Mi, dressed in green clothes and black robes, quietly came to Gu Chen. It looked like he was a little dusty.
"How did you go about what I told you?" Gu Chen asked as soon as he saw her.
"According to your instructions, spies have been placed around those surrendered generals. In addition, the investigation of the guys who have not surfaced is almost done."
Ye Mi rolled her eyes at Gu Chen. In order to help Gu Chen, she traveled to and from the five counties. When she met this guy, she didn't show any concern at all. She only asked about the mission situation.
"Very good, the time is almost here. Can you help me summon enough killers?" Gu Chen said.
"How many people are needed specifically? Who to kill?" Ye Mi was stunned.
"The number of killers you need depends on the number of people you want to target. Remember, you can't let any of them escape." Gu Chen said calmly.
Ye Mi looked stern when she heard this, and then she realized the ultimate purpose of what Gu Chen had asked her to do before.
"If we want to ensure that we can kill so many people safely and quickly, we will need at least two thousand killers. With your national war-level salary, you cannot summon that many people." Ye Mi thought for a moment and said truthfully.
"Then just spend money to hire him, and I'll pay for it. That's okay, right?" Gu Chen said. He had not used much of the treasure he got from the Clay Bodhisattva.
"It's possible, but the scale of this operation is a bit large. I'm afraid I have to ask the Pavilion Master for instructions."
Ye Mi hesitated and said, Gu Chen wanted to kill more than just one or two people. Once he acted, a lot of heads would fall to the ground.
Those people are not ordinary people. Most of them hold high positions in the Lan Kingdom and can easily attract attention afterwards.
Although Wuwang Pavilion does things for money, such large-scale actions against a country are rare.
In addition, Wuwang Pavilion just experienced an internal fight. Although the Pavilion Master finally won, he also lost a lot of manpower.
At this juncture, mobilizing such a large number of killers is not an easy task, and the Pavilion Master may not agree easily.
"Go and ask for instructions, but try to do it as quickly as possible."
Gu Chen nodded, knowing that this matter could not be done without Ye Wu Nian's consent.
Ye Wu Nian has just integrated Wuwang Pavilion, and now Wuwang Pavilion has completely become his one-man hall. As long as he agrees, it is not difficult at all to summon two thousand killers.
Gu Chen couldn't think of a reason why he would reject her, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Ye Mi felt helpless. He had just come back and had to run around again. He didn't know if he owed this man something in his previous life.
…
Shengyang Realm, in Wu Lie's mansion.
Hearing the news from Marquis Makino of Arashi Kingdom, a rare smile of relief appeared on Wu Lie's lips.
He hasn't been in such a happy mood for a long time since the Qiankun Society attacked various countries.
Marquis Makino has gradually taken control of the situation in the Arashi Kingdom, and the third prince is being marginalized. All he can do now is fight to the death.
The Lan Kingdom once again became his territory, and the thunderous offensive of the Pei Kingdom also shocked many forces that were ready to move, proving to the outside world that he, Wu Lie, still had the strength to compete for the throne!
He was somewhat grateful to Chen Yi for coming up with such a good idea and helping him turn the whole situation around.
"How is Peiguo's current offensive?"
Wulie thought about it and asked Marquis Muye's messenger.
"According to His Highness's instructions, my Marquis has gradually cut off the supply of intelligence to Pei State. However, Pei's army is too greedy and is still attacking cities and plundering territory, and wants to swallow up more counties in our Lan State." The messenger replied.
"Haha, this Chen Yi is really greedy, and he is not afraid of pushing himself to death."
Wu Lie had a look of disdain on his face and sneered: "Go back and tell your Lord Marquis so that his army does not have to fight against the Pei army. If the Pei army wants to eat, let them enjoy it."
"How can you benefit Peiguo for nothing?" The messenger suddenly looked hesitant.
"madness!"
Wu Lie immediately scolded, shook his head and said: "You don't even think about how many troops Pei has, and how much territory they can take from the Lan country no matter how greedy they are? Now the longer they extend the front line and the more dispersed their troops are, then they will
The worse you lose."
"The territory Pei Guo currently occupies was all obtained with the help of your Marquis and his men. If your Marquis can let people into the city once, is it difficult to let them go a second time?"
"I promised you, Lord Marquis, that I would find a way to make Pei Guo vomit out what he had eaten. What we have to do now is for this step."
"Tell him exactly what I said, and he will naturally understand what I mean!"
The messenger understood, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Your Highness is brilliant, I will tell my Lord the truth truthfully!"
The messenger left in a hurry, and the Crow General who was listening in the audience hesitated for a moment and asked: "Didn't His Highness promise before that the land occupied by Pei State could be handed over to them? If he goes back on his words after it is done, I am afraid that Chen Yi will be very dissatisfied.
.”
"Hmph, then who is Chen Yi? He plots against me at every turn and expects me to just burn bridges?" Wu Lie said coldly.
Although he got out of the siege because of Gu Chen's plan, he has not forgotten what he had plotted against him before.
"Peiguo is now your Highness's ally after all. If Your Highness does this, what if Chen Yi becomes angry and turns to Prince Yanyang?" Commander Crow General asked worriedly.
"You are overthinking, then Chen Yi will not do this. The secret agent of the Extinction Qiankun Society was carried out under his instruction. If he dares to seek refuge with Prince Yanyang, I will dare to tell the truth about this matter and let him
The two ends are not human."
"What's more, the Chen clan obviously has something unspeakable to hide. What Chen Yi did is shameful, and he dare not completely fall out with me."
Wu Lie sneered. Last time he had a secret conversation with Gu Chen in Peidu, he had already seen that the Chen clan behind him was deliberately targeting the Qiankun Society, but he didn't want the outside world to know.
