Chapter 2088: When there is no light in the west, there is light in the east
Mo Shubai didn't keep the secret any longer and whispered, "Master, I have a plan."
"Go ahead." Lu Zhen didn't hold out much hope. If the Mou Kingdom refused to help, even gods wouldn't be able to help.
"Have you ever thought about this? Ya State claims to be able to mobilize an army of 200,000. Why has it only mobilized 30,000 troops after several rounds of fighting with Mou State? What are the remaining hundreds of thousands for?"
"Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to bet everything on it." Lu Zhenxian asked him, "What's your reason?"
"You forgot that a huge threat has emerged to its east." Mo Shubai pointed to the east, "and it has a grudge against it."
"Cangyan Kingdom?" Lu Zhen was stunned, and something in his heart seemed to be lit up.
Yes, Cangyan Kingdom! The new kingdom founded by He Xiao, the former Lord of Yangshan Island!
"The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Ya Country, in addition to dealing with Mou Country on the western front, also have to be on guard against Cang Yan Country in the east. It is impossible for them to be deployed all on the Bailie battlefield!" Mo Shubai whispered, "Why don't you try to ask Cang Yan Country for help?"
"This..." Lu Zhenxian scratched his head, "Lu Zhensheng is the clan leader, he can represent Bailie to ask for support from Cangyan Kingdom. I..."
His asking for help was an act of overstepping one's authority, or in other words, exceeding one's authority.
"In Lu Zhensheng's hands, 'Baile Clan Leader' is just a title. Has he ever fulfilled his duties as a clan leader?" Mo Shubai reminded his master. "Do you think Lu Zhensheng has never considered the possibility of asking for help from the Cangyan Kingdom?"
"He just doesn't dare." Mo Shubai said word by word, "He has a personal grudge against Emperor Jiuyou, so he doesn't dare to ask for help, but he wants to sacrifice your son."
Lu Zhenxian clenched his fists.
It is true that Lu Zhensheng and He Xiao have a personal grudge, and the whole clan knows it.
Bai Lie had not had any conflicts with Yang Shan in the past one or two years, but because Yang Shan had developed too rapidly, Lu Zhensheng no longer dared to provoke him. But he didn't say anything good about him in private.
"Not long ago, Lu Qinglin actually led the army of the Mou Kingdom to seize the Yangshan Islands!" Lu Zhenxian sneered, "At that time, his proud son could lead the troops here and help us to settle the feud with the Nine Nether Emperor!"
I really want to thank his family!
"You overlooked a problem." Mo Shubai hit the nail on the head, "Patriarch Lu has old and new grudges against Emperor Jiuyou, so he dared not ask for help from Emperor Jiuyou; but that was a personal grudge! It was him, Lu Zhensheng, and his son who offended Emperor Jiuyou, not you, let alone Bai Lie!"
"Chief Lu put his personal grudge above the safety of the entire Bailie Territory. Is this what a good chief should do?" Mo Shubai was trying to instigate. "Besides, you and Third Master Lu have been doing a growing business in recent years, and the young master has been very hardworking and has led the army to repel the Ya people many times. He has a high reputation among the people. The chief may not be very happy if he sees this."
"I used to do business with Yang Shan, and Boss Lu repeatedly ordered us to stop. Fortunately, I didn't listen to him." Lu Zhenxian found a way out of his grievances. "This bastard, has he been planning to harm my son?"
"Whether Ah Bang is dead or hiding his identity, he can no longer lead troops. What good will this do for Bai Lie?"
Lu Zhenxian became angrier the more he thought about it. He grabbed another teacup and smashed it to the ground.
Mo Shubai didn't try to persuade him either.
It doesn't matter whether Lu Zhensheng really thinks so or not. It's enough for Lu Laoliu to come to this conclusion by connecting the dots of previous evidence.
Lu Zhenxian was angry, but soon he fell into doubt: "However, the Dragon God Army fought against the Ya Kingdom Army on the western front of Shanjin not long ago. I heard that there were heavy casualties, with 50,000 to 60,000 people killed. The Ya Kingdom Army boasted that one of their soldiers could beat seven Dragon God soldiers."
"Let's not talk about whether He Xiao is willing or not, what if his Dragon God Army cannot defeat the Ya Kingdom?" The Ya Kingdom's army is very strong.
"Can we believe Yaguo's boasting?" Mo Shubai shook his head. "If the Dragon God Army is really that bad, why did the Ge brothers attack the western front of Shanjin for more than a month but still fail to advance and linger on the border?"
"Now that you mention it, it seems so." Bai Lie was also very concerned about the attack of Ya Country on the Flashing Gold Plain. In Lu Zhenxian's impression, he had indeed not heard of any victory of Ya Country, nor had he heard of any territory they had conquered.
The Ya army attacked fiercely for a month but made no progress.
To Bailie, this was simply a fantasy. Lu Zhenxian felt envious.
Mo Shubai continued, "At that time, the Great Emperor Jiuyou was encircling the Yao Kingdom in the middle of the Shining Gold Plains, and I'm afraid he concentrated all his main forces there. Master, think about it, the ordinary troops under the Dragon God can forcibly block the army of the Ya Kingdom at the western border, so how powerful should the main force be?"
"The main force of Cangyan Nation..."
"It's the Black Armor Army." Mo Shubai said softly, "The Great Emperor Jiuyou used this army to flatten the entire Shining Golden Plain and wipe out the Yao Kingdom supported by the gods. Do you think it's powerful?"
Lu Zhenxian was moved when he heard this.
The most important thing is that he has no other choice now. Mo Shubai threw him a life-saving straw, and he instinctively wanted to grab it tightly.
"During the time when Emperor Jiuyou was managing the Yangshan Islands, you had a close relationship with him. Not only did you have business dealings with each other, but you also had a good relationship with him in private." Mo Shubai advised, "With this little bit of friendship as a foundation, you can ask him for help."
Lu Zhenxian was still not confused, and he laughed at himself at this time: "That's more affectionate. Why should he offend Yaguo for me, Lu Laoliu?"
He knew his own weight. Cangyan Kingdom was established not long ago, why would Emperor Jiuyou declare war on Ya Kingdom for a former business partner?
"He rebelled. It was Ya who offended him first. Just as you said before, Ya sent the Ge brothers to invade the western part of Shanjin. The Dragon God Army suffered heavy casualties, and this feud was formed. When Emperor Jiuyou founded the country, I heard that Beijia and Mouguo both sent gifts, but only Yaguo pretended to be deaf and dumb, and obviously did not take Cangyan Kingdom seriously. If I were Emperor Jiuyou, I would also want to teach Yaguo a lesson."
"You asked him for help, which just gave him a reason to send troops." Mo Shubai continued, "Besides, you can try to write a letter asking for help, and be sincere. If he doesn't send troops, how much loss can you expect? If he is willing to help, won't your problem be solved?"
This sentence is very realistic, and it doesn't cost much to give it a try. Anyway, Lu Zhenxian has nowhere else to go, so why not try it out?
"That's true. But what kind of conditions should I offer to impress the Nine Nether Emperor?" If you ask someone to do something, you have to pay them enough? "I heard that the Mu Kingdom sent troops to save the Shanjin Kingdom because the Nine Nether Emperor gave a generous gift."
He couldn't just ask Emperor Jiuyou to send troops.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but even if you put all your wealth on the line, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite the Nine Nether Emperor."
Lu Zhenxian glared at him. Why could the truth be so unpleasant?
"Then what have you been talking about for so long?"
