Chapter 2184 An increasingly dangerous situation
But on the one hand, the Yangshan Islands are large in area, the islands are scattered, and they are guarded by King Yingui, so it is quite difficult to land on the island and clear out the rebels; secondly, and most importantly, the Blade Port, which is across the sea from the Yangshan Islands, is now Cangyan's territory.
How close is the relationship between Emperor Jiuyou and Fu Shanyue? It is impossible for the Mou army to set sail to the sea by borrowing Blade Harbor as before.
If you want to take over the Yangshan Islands, you have to send troops from Mou State’s own port.
Oh, the shortest distance is more than 400 miles. Once the fighting starts, what about the follow-up supplies? Yang Shan can just turn around and grab a few more guns.
What’s more, Mou State was not sure how Cang Yan would react to this matter. What if Cang Yan sent troops to support the Yangshan Islands?
The actions of Emperor Jiuyou are always unexpected.
The last concern is that Chiyan will not sit idly by and watch Yangshan being attacked. Is Mouguo ready to open up a second battlefield with Beijia?
That's why Mou State did not take action for a long time.
But to sum up, the Mou Kingdom was very disgusted with Bega's military ships sending aid to the Ya Kingdom.
"Generals, soldiers, logistics, and civilian ships and merchants traveling with us, there are more than 6,000 people. Well, it is said that 60% of them are civilians." He Lingchuan shook his head, "Isn't this nonsense? Why would civilian ships go around the distant sea of Mou State?"
There are no restrictions on civilian and commercial ships traveling along the coast of Mou State.
Fushan Yue also mentioned in his letter that the army of sea monsters attacked Bega's fleet, including giant whales, flat pythons, stonehead fish, etc., but the largest number were Yakshas.
The body size of the totoaba is about half that of a humpback whale, but it has a huge hard bone in front of its head, shaped like a boulder, and some even protrude forward like a giant hammer.
It uses this stone head to attack other large sea beasts, causing serious damage.
Similarly, it is also very useful to use the stone bow to attack ships, as it can create a big hole in the bottom of a wooden boat.
As for Yaksha, it was a general term for a sea tribe with various strange appearances, similar to what He Lingchuan had seen in the Upside-Down Sea. Later, he learned that Qian Huan Zhenren's creations were based on samples of real Yaksha, not fabricated out of thin air.
Du Shan said: "Emperor, the Yaksha clan is the sea army of the Mou Kingdom!"
He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "Tadao Yaksha?"
In fact, there are different groups of Yaksha, usually divided by region. Apart from anything else, his precious halberd was obtained from the Yaksha King of Chaohai.
However, there is indeed a Yaksha tribe active in the Tadao area of the Mou Kingdom, called the Tadao Yaksha, who are responsible for patrolling the southern waters of the Mou Kingdom. If a passing ship crosses the waterway, it will be expelled or forced to stop.
It seems that the Bega warships were indeed sunk by the Mou State.
The survivors of the Bega warship also said that the Yakshas and sea monsters ate people after overturning the ship, and the nearby sea water was dyed red with blood.
That’s right, monsters do this too, whether they are from Bega or Mouguo.
"This is no small matter. Beijia was just tricked by Mouguo and lost all face. He is now furious."
Du Shan said, "Ya State was just defeated by Mou State. If this matter gets out of hand, it will only benefit Cang Yan."
He sighed: "I, Cang Yan, really have amazing national fortune!"
Once the war between these two powerful countries escalates, Cang Yan will become the target of their efforts to win over, and He Lingchuan will definitely have more bargaining chips in his hands.
"Whether their war will escalate or not, Mouguo should contact us soon." He Lingchuan said to him, "You should make some preparations."
"Yes."
After Du Shan left, Soul Mirror asked He Lingchuan:
"Not yet, but if Bejia and Mou go to war, will the Yangshan Islands become particularly dangerous?"
The Yangshan Islands are an important waterway connecting the Golden Plains with the west. The Mou Kingdom has long been unhappy with it, but it did not want to intensify the conflict with Bega, so it never took any action.
If Bejia launched a full-scale war against the State of Mou this time, would the latter have no scruples and would it send troops to seize the island regardless of the consequences? After all, the State of Mou had always been resentful of having such a thorn in its back.
The process may be a little difficult, but in the face of the determination of the great powers, can the Yangshan Islands be preserved?
The fight between Beijia and Mou State affected Cangyan's HNA, which was something Cangyan did not want to see.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Not yet. If the war between the two countries escalates, the last person the Mou Kingdom wants to offend is me. If we blockade or seize the Yangshan Islands at this time, we will be an enemy of Cangyan. Ha, it was so difficult for the Mou Kingdom to conquer the Ya Kingdom, how can we dare to start a war on both sides at this time?"
The Dragon God Army may not be stronger than the Ya Army at the moment, but Cang Yan’s strategic depth is amazing and his war potential is huge.
"So, will their war really escalate?"
"It's very likely." He Lingchuan gave his own judgment. "Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were lost, five generals were sacrificed, and the losses suffered by the Mou Kingdom also seriously damaged its own vitality. Beijia might want to take advantage of this good opportunity to give the Mou Kingdom a severe blow."
Not only did he see the opportunity, Beijia also saw Mou Guo's injuries.
"Besides, there have been too many outbreaks of Emperor's Liquid in the past few years, and the spiritual energy of the demon world and the human world has become somewhat unbalanced. After the Yamu War, there probably hasn't been any major wars in the human world, but the demons still need a lot of nightmare energy." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Beijia used to be able to stir up wars in various places to satisfy its master. Now that the Shining Gold Plains has been annexed by me, and the Shen Kingdom is pacifying the western countries, the world's overall situation is actually tending towards stability. Beijia can't provoke others, so perhaps he can only take the field himself."
Otherwise, how could the devil be satisfied?
Mirror was shocked: "If Beijia and Mouguo continue to fight to the death, the spiritual energy of the world will be sucked away by the demons again, right?"
The battle of Mu Ya resulted in the death or injury of more than 800,000 young and strong men. What if the battle between Beijia and Mu State becomes a draw?
The spiritual energy of the world has finally revived, is it going to go back to the time ten years ago?
"Not really." He Lingchuan was not so pessimistic. "First of all, others cannot absorb the spiritual energy and nightmare energy of the Shining Gold Plain, and the production and life of the Cangyan people are guaranteed. Secondly, the Demon Emperor is also very shrewd, and Beijia will not easily throw himself into the war, at least not in the early stages."
Bega only wants others to bleed and die, and does not want to use himself to satisfy the appetite of the gods.
"Master, do you think the war will escalate?"
"Because of Qingyang's downfall, the power of the Demon Emperor was seriously damaged." He Lingchuan smiled, "Before the elixir incident, the Demon Emperor had the strong support of Qingyang and had the final say in Lingxu City. You see, in recent decades, Beijia has rarely launched large-scale wars and only bullied weak national forces. The war with Mou State was like an old ox pulling a broken cart. Even though there are deep-seated problems in Beijia itself, the will of the Demon Emperor has also been reflected. He has personally experienced the battles of Yuan State and Panlong City, and knows that such wars will cause great losses to Beijia."
"But after Qingyang was exiled to Yao Country, the original power structure was broken. Tiangong was powerful, Nie Xiaolou's reputation was far inferior to Qingyang, and the status of Qinggong was suppressed by Qiugong."
