Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1167 - 12: Beitu King, Self Domain, and Death Replacement Grass Man!_5
"After the allied forces are formed, we can attack the defense line east of the Weishan Glacier. Ulik, who is currently fighting the ’Jialan Clan’ in the south, will personally lead his troops to respond."
"The battlefield is chosen by us, which increases the chance of success in encirclement."
"Ulik has no choice but to come, because the Jialan Clan is just a tribe. But if he crushes the Four Nations Alliance Army, the Sith clan can occupy a vast territory in the east, preventing any southeastern threat from forming against Weishan."
"With such a temptation, I think Ulik will definitely be willing to give it a try."
Zhao Xing praised, "Not bad, I knew you could do it."
He originally worried that Chen Shijie, after being the Pingyuan Prefecture for so long, wouldn’t know how to wage war, having been out of the military for over a hundred years.
But now it seems that Little Chen’s military acumen hasn’t diminished at all.
In just a short while, he came up with a rough plan.
Chen Shijie discussed steadily with Zhao Xing, and soon Mi Fei joined the conversation.
Zhao Xing found his thoughts quite similar to his own, even more detailed in some areas, clearly showing that Chen Shijie had done his homework over the past few months.
The reason Chen Shijie was like this is partly due to his nature and partly because he felt his promotion was purely thanks to Zhao Xing’s influence.
Mi Fei has strong abilities and trained in three sects, and both Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing not only have strong abilities but are also of illustrious backgrounds, what does Chen Shijie have?
He felt he couldn’t match the other three deputies in any aspect, so he could only work hard.
The three discussed for a long time.
After the Divine Residence Warship arrived at the Moss State territory, it went into stealth mode.
Zhao Xing dispatched clones to secretly meet the kings of Moss State, Beitu, Sake, and Ande.
The plan that started in late August went smoothly with Moss, Sake, and Ande.
They were already vassal states of Great Zhou, admiring its culture, and having been under the influence of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, they were full of confidence as soon as Zhao Xing, the Upper Country envoy, arrived and they quickly agreed to send troops.
But in Beitu Country, problems arose.
The Beitu King warmly received Zhao Xing, talking for six days. The Beitu King was very hospitable, but when it came to dispatching troops, he hesitated and procrastinated, changing the subject.
On the sixth day, the Beitu King stopped meeting Zhao Xing altogether.
Even the attitude of the envoy became somewhat indifferent.
"It seems this Beitu King already harbors disloyal thoughts, hmph, barbarians are indeed untrustworthy!" said Mi Fei, a bit angrily, after being brushed off again while trying to meet the envoy. "I bet this Beitu King has already sided with the Sith Country."
"Not necessarily," said Chen Shijie, "The King’s enthusiasm a few days ago didn’t seem fake. His sudden change in attitude is probably because a Sith envoy also arrived."
Zhao Xing said, "Beitu Country has yet to face the direct threat of the Sith Country and hasn’t actually been attacked by the Sith clan, so they might not decide so quickly."
"The Beitu King is a strong leader, stronger than the other three kings, we should try to win him over."
"Let’s wait for Zhang Ning’s news."
Zhang Ning, the envoy stationed in Beitu Country, has lived there for about a hundred years since being dispatched during the early years of Da Zhi.
As soon as the words finished, a tall man wearing armor and carrying a sharp sword hurriedly walked in. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Duke Junyi, Your Excellencies, I’ve received news that the Beitu King secretly met a Sith envoy and suddenly reinforced the Royal City’s defensive array, he might be planning to join the Sith Country!"
"Before any official orders are issued, let me escort Duke Junyi and Your Excellencies out of the city!"
....
In another embassy within the Beitu Royal City.
A Sith clansman, with gills behind his ears, three horizontal lines on his forehead, and a blue fluorescence flowing across him, was resting in the embassy.
Several other Sith clansmen were waiting nearby for something.
Suddenly, a figure hastily came in.
"Wu Yuanshi, I’ve heard that the Beitu King was persuaded by the envoy from Great Zhou and has suddenly reinforced the Royal City’s defensive array, determined to attack our country!"
"This place has become dangerous; Wu Yuanshi, please leave quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan’s pupils contracted.
.....
The Beitu Royal City, built against the mountain, with the Imperial Palace constructed on the highest peak.
In a palace at this moment, a figure silently stood on a high platform, overlooking the embassy at the foot of the mountain.
He was the King of Beitu Country, a renowned first-class strong person on the Western Extreme Continent amidst the century-long expansion of the Sith clan.
Beitu Country had never faced an invasion, solely because of the Beitu King’s formidable reputation.
"Father."
A golden-haired, blue-eyed youth approached the Beitu King from behind.
"Yi, how did it go?"
The Eldest Prince, Yi, was the Beitu King’s eldest son, also in the First Grade Life Palace Realm.
"Father, I’ve leaked the information to both the envoys of Great Zhou and the Sith."
After a pause, the Eldest Prince asked, "Father, whose side are we on? Why did you release false information to them?"
"Yi, what do you think?"
The Eldest Prince ’Yi’ pondered, "Compared to the behemoth Great Zhou, the Sith clan is smaller yet vigorous, with threats looming close, especially with the mysterious and powerful Great Venerable Dius."
"Great Zhou is a giant, but its authority remains far in Central State. From the end of the previous Great Emperor’s reign, its sight rarely turned towards the Western Extreme Continent."
"If I had to choose, I think I would ally with the Sith clan."
"Why?" The Beitu King asked his son calmly.
"Ulik is in the First Grade, while that Duke Junyi is only in the Second Grade Realm." said the Eldest Prince, deliberating, "Moss State has sought aid for several years, and Great Zhou never sends anyone, and those who do come are officials with not much strength, always hoping to resolve disputes by leveraging vassal states."
