Chapter 352: Retreat, or not?

"Why do you have to go into seclusion for three or five years? At this critical moment, is it because you want to break through the realm of Pingyuan?"

"But what is this Dharma-Ending Calamity?"

Zhao Ning looked at the letter in his hand and was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. It was just a retreat, and it was not a big deal. He had already claimed to be in seclusion before. The only thing that made her not very clear was the Dharma-Ending Calamity.

"Marson, this Taiye Pass is strong, and there are many alliances formed by traitors. If you can't capture it for a long time, why not withdraw your troops first?" Ma Ke lifted the curtain of the camp, and the first sentence after coming in was this.

After Zhao Ning put down the letter, he said helplessly: "Where is General Lu? Have you gone to the front of the gate again?"

She did not answer positively whether she wanted to withdraw her troops, but asked about Lu Bu's situation.

"I went there early in the morning. Although General Lu is powerful, there are many talented people in this coalition. There are nearly 50 second-rank martial artists and scholars from the country. They forced General Lu to connect the qi and blood of the 500,000 troops in the city to stop General Lu. Otherwise, with General Lu's ability, Taiye Pass would have been broken long ago."

Ma Ke also replied indignantly in his tone.

If Lu Bu on his side depends on quality, then the opposite side depends on quantity.

The purpose of the Northern Ji court was very simple, to drag them down. The Southern Ji court had a relatively shallow foundation and could not withstand such a drag. Once their Longxiang Army and Lu Bu were dragged here for too long, even if Bai Yunsheng, the Taishi, was under the control of the rear, if there was no money, no food, and the aristocratic family causing trouble, there would be problems.

What's more, Zhao Ning knew that if the Taishi was in seclusion, if he could not conquer it for a long time, there would definitely be chaos.

In fact, she was also considering whether to withdraw her troops. If she delayed with the other party, she would have no benefit.

"Yun Sheng gave me a big trouble. He went to seclusion and it would take three to five years to get out of seclusion." Zhao Ning did not hide Ma Ke. Ma Ke had been following her since she was in a hurry, and was completely their confidant.

When Ma Ke heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Why did Master Bai go into seclusion at this time?"

Now is a critical moment. If they break the Taiye Pass coalition, then the subsequent offensive against the entire Beiji court will be unstoppable.

But if they lose or retreat, it will definitely shake the hearts of the people in the Nanji court. They are already unstable. If Chen Xiyi was not suppressed, people's hearts would inevitably be fluctuating.

"Can something happen to the Grand Master?" Ma Ke's thoughts moved and couldn't help asking.

"It shouldn't be possible. With Yun Sheng's ability, what can happen to him?" Zhao Ning naturally denied Ma Ke's question.

The two were discussing, and Lu Bu stepped into the tent with great might and sat down beside him and sulked.

Zhao Ning knew when he saw this, Lu Bu must have been defeated again. The opposite side was like a tin turtle, with the intention of dragging them instead of defeating them.

Lu Bu could not break the military spirit formation formed by more than 50 martial artists and scholars and 500,000 troops with brute force, but the other party did not dare to come out, and only dared to rely on the terrain of Taiye Pass. Once he left, Lu Bu led the Longxiang Army to charge and could defeat the other party.

Probably, whoever can't hold on first will lose.

"The other party won't leave the city today?" Zhao Ning also asked when he saw this.

When Lu Bu heard this, he sighed: "This group of turtles shrank and didn't even scold them today, and only put the battle-free sign on it."

It means that if you scold me, they just ignore you.

If you can't beat the other party's shell, you can't leave, but you can't leave. Can this not make Lu Bu feel depressed?

"I wonder if you have any good ideas for General Lu?" Zhao Ning had no good ideas, as the other party did this and refused to use it.

The previous urban passes were all relied on Lu Bu to lead the Longxiang Army to pass by, and the other senior management were basically only responsible for management, planning, logistics, etc.

As long as these are in place, they will destroy the other party in one wave.

But now it’s impossible to make a move, which makes people very worried. In this case, scholars may not be sure to use tricks to break this Taiye Pass.

There are also scholars on the other side who are still governing the country. I think only the Three Dukes had this state at the beginning. Now many have emerged over the years, and I don’t know where they came from. There were obviously not many before.

"What can I do? If the other party wants to consume, we will spend it to the end. Anyway, we have few people and there are many people, so they will definitely not be able to consume it first." Lu Bu was not clear about his political situation, but simply judged it by the number of people and supplies.

There are 500,000 troops in the Taiye Pass opposite. This man is not a small amount of money for eating horses, not to mention that all the 500,000 troops are full. If it is really consumed, the daily food and grass will be a huge expenditure.

Zhao Ning and Ma Ke looked at each other. What Lu Bu said made sense, but the problem was that their Nanji court also had similar disadvantages and could not afford them. The difference was that one was in terms of supplies and the other was in terms of politicians.

The entire Nanji court seemed powerful, but most of its reputation was based on Bai Yunsheng, the Master Bai who used the emperor to command the princes. But now Bai Taishi has gone to seclusion. If they are still there, they will really dare to continue to drag on it. After all, with Bai Yunsheng in charge, even if the aristocratic families have little thoughts, they dare not show it.

Others may play rules games with the aristocratic families, but Chen Xiyi doesn't. He will only hang them to the city gate to bleed. After three days, he will ask their bodies if they accept them. He will not play rules with them at all. Therefore, this makes the aristocratic families hate them deeply.

In the past, both the court and local forces were within the rules. However, after playing with the rules for thousands of years, the aristocratic families naturally gained the essence of this. Coupled with the local reputation and the connections between the aristocratic families, they must be like fish in water.

Didn't you ever think that first there were Yellow Turban thieves who did not abide by the rules, and Bai Yunsheng did not abide by the rules, which would prevent the family that had always been smooth sailing and sucking blood from getting angry?

So they were eager for the destruction of the Nanji court, and they welcomed the royal army.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiyi's fireworks and pressure have caused them to be suppressed now, especially the newly born family of the side houses. Although their power and connections are not as good as those of the main family, they at least have some support for the Nanji court.

But this kind of convergence is still very fragile. Once there is a clue of unstable clues in the Southern Ji court, these new aristocratic families will definitely rebel immediately. The reason is very simple. They are also aristocratic families, even if they rely on the Southern Ji court to become aristocratic families.

The reason why aristocratic families are aristocratic families is that they will follow whoever is beneficial and will not stick to the court.

That is, kneeling quickly, if you slow down, the knife will come down.

"If you want to discuss this matter again, there is another matter. General Lu knows that the Grand Tutor is in seclusion?" Zhao Ning asked.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was stunned: "The Grand Master went into seclusion? When did it happen?"

He didn't know that Chen Xiyi was in seclusion. He was not Chen Xiyi's friend, so he naturally didn't receive the email.

"Just just now, I received the letter from the Grand Master." Seeing this, Zhao Ning didn't say much.

"Oh, then what should we do next? Will we withdraw our troops?" Lu Bu felt that this was not a good thing. Without this pillar, the Nanji court would not be able to survive.

"It is easy to withdraw troops, but it can be continued," Zhao Ning sighed and said.

"Section? What follow-up can there be? Is there anyone in the court who dares to rebel?" Lu Bu's thinking was very simple. He went back and went back. What problems could he have.

If anyone dares to make trouble or make trouble, ask him and Long Xiangjun first.

Not all forces have nearly fifty second-rank warriors and scholars from the country, plus a 500,000 army.

The reason why Lu Bu was blocked here was that the entire Beiji court had invested a lot of national strength to hold him back.

Nan Ji's family was weak because of the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and they had no strength to resist. If they really dared to do so, Lu Bu could bring the Longxiang Army to visit and let them know what disaster was like.

"I will definitely not dare to rebel. With General Lu, you will be here, but it will hit the prestige of the court. At that time, those aristocratic families and even some royal relatives will take the opportunity to jump out and cause trouble." Zhao Ning said.

In response, Lu Bu sneered: "A group of people who only dare to talk. If they really dare to jump out, some family will chop them alive."

"Are they afraid of the reputation of the Taishi, so they are not afraid of the Fangtian Painting Ji in the hands of a certain family?"

What Lu Bu is most afraid of is the people who dare to talk to him. Why are people qualified to be fooled?

When Zhao Ning heard this, he thought it was a bit inappropriate at first, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

If the other party doesn't want to shut up when they are alive, then let them shut up forever after they die.

It’s not that the aristocratic family cannot be killed. As long as they dare to object, they dare to kill them all.

"General Lu's words are reasonable. Why do we need to tell the rules of the aristocratic families? If they listen to us, it would be fine. If they don't listen to it, it would be a disaster. Anyway, keeping it will be a disaster." Zhao Ning couldn't help but remember that Chen Xiyi had dealt with all the four aristocratic families in Jingdao City.

They are standing opposite to the aristocratic family, and the other party wants to be arrogant, so why should they tell them what rules?

"Since that's the case, we'll withdraw our troops and return to the North Korea?" Ma Ke felt that everyone seemed to have reached a consensus.

"No, we have to discuss it again. If we just go back like this, 500,000 troops from Taiye Pass will be released. If we don't notice it at this time, maybe the other party can attack Huanglong." Zhao Ning said immediately.

Retreat is definitely necessary, but you cannot retreat like this. At least you have to find a way to disperse the coalition forces in Taiye Pass.

But the problem is that under such great pressure, the other party will definitely not disband so easily. After all, with Lu Bu, who is such a deterrent, he will really be disbanded. At that time, Lu Bu will return with Longxiang's army and will directly blow them up.

Therefore, this is a big problem.

I want to leave, but I dare not leave.

"Otherwise, if you do a fake retreat first, if the opponent dares to attack, General Lu will take the Longxiang Army to kill them off guard. If you don't come, you will wait and see and then make plans." Ma Ke thought of a solution that was not a solution, and it can only be said to be fishing law enforcement.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss, and finally felt that since there was nothing I could do, Ma Ke could try this method, but there was no loss anyway.

Success is considered a waste of money. If it fails, the opponent will raise troops to attack, and Lu Bu will kill them directly, and he will be able to show his grievances during this period. Anyway, it will not be a loss.

"Then let's try it first. General Lu can first pretend to retreat and hide, and then wait for news." Zhao Ning said immediately.

Lu Bu said decisively: "Yes, Marshal, I'll arrange this matter now."

"But the news of the withdrawal of troops was spread, so I handed over to the Marshal and Captain Ma."

After saying that, Lu Bu stood up and left. He was also a little excited. Whether this plan was successful or not, he could get rid of the frustration he was now. It was a rare good news over the days.
