Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2639 Xiang Liucheng Abandons His Pawn, Yu Meiren Surrenders to Jin

undoubtedly!

Yu Ji was a clever woman!

When the Southern Chu Empire still existed, they had such a large territory in their hands, so it was understandable that they risked their lives for it.

However, the Southern Chu Kingdom is no more. They have lost everything they could lose, and the only thing they haven't lost is their lives.

However, given the current situation in Southeast Asia, if they continue to entangle themselves with these Southeast Asian coalition forces, they may end up losing their own lives.

Therefore, at this moment, what she wanted was to save their remaining lives.

That's why she had no intention of intervening in the obvious counter-espionage plot, letting it fester within the allied forces.

In fact, even in the most remote parts of Southeast Asia, it's not impossible to find a single intelligent person.

He wasn't the only one who saw through that double agent scheme.

But as the saying goes, whether a plan succeeds or not sometimes depends not on the best performer in the allied forces, but rather on the worst performer.

Many people may see through it, but that doesn't mean they can change the outcome. They lack the power to change people's hearts, which means that many times, even if they understand everything, they can only stand by and watch.

The truly brilliant strategists don't devise overly complex schemes; they prefer simple yet effective ones. On the contrary, overly complex schemes risk being foiled.

The simpler the scheme, the harder it is to crack.

Whether it's the art of leadership or the art of strategy, when you reach a truly masterful level, you return to simplicity.

Miao Xun's plan directly targeted the chaotic morale within the Allied Forces.

What Yu Ji wanted was simply to use this opportunity to extricate herself from the Southeast Asian coalition and save their only remaining capital—their heads.

Similarly, this scheme to sow discord was Yu Ji's opportunity to get rid of the direct descendants of the Xiang clan.

If Yu Ji wanted to extricate herself from the Southeast Asian coalition, what other path could she take? The only option was to surrender to the Jin dynasty.

After all, there is no other Southeast Asia in the world that they could go to!

After all, if they had continued running, people in North and South America and Oceania at that time would have truly become savages.

As for the Kushan Empire, it's fine to be a pirate and fight guerrilla warfare like before, but if you really go there with the intention of seizing their territory, do you really think that an imperial-level power is a pushover?

How many people are left in Southern Chu?

As for Europe, not to mention the powerful Roman Empire at that time, even outside of the Roman Empire, it's not something that a few people from Southern Chu could easily challenge! A slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.

Do you really think that, as later generations have imagined, a few random people in ancient China could mindlessly sweep across the world?

Ancient China was generally in a leading position in the world for a long time. However, the fact that ancient Chinese dynasties were relatively powerful in the world for a long time meant that the country as a whole was strong. It does not mean that a few people in that country could do things that only a country can do.

With only one or two thousand men left, lacking sufficient armor and supplies, their numbers dwindle with every kill. Even compared to their time in Southeast Asia, the resources they now possess are less than a third of what they had then.

Not to mention Europe, even in Africa, their remaining few thousand people can't fake an accident.

Although Africa is also underdeveloped, North Africa is one of the cradles of agricultural civilization, and, to say the least, the region has a large population. Egypt, for example, was active within the European sphere for a considerable period.

Before the advent of firearms, the number of people had a significant impact on warfare.

Even after the advent of firearms, it wasn't until the Maxim machine gun that numbers became completely meaningless.

Even after the destruction of the Southern Chu navy, Yu Ji no longer had any large warships. She only had a few medium and small ships left, which were not capable of long-distance voyages at all.

Of course, even if those large warships were still on board, it would be difficult for them to reach such a long distance.

Therefore, the Jin army has become their only and last resort.

Most importantly, Yu Ji is already quite old this year; she's no longer young. In fact, the years of hardship after Xiang Yu's death have made her look much older.

It was precisely because Yu Ji had the intention of surrendering to the Jin dynasty that she also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the direct descendants of the Xiang clan.

Unfortunately, although Xiang Yu was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, not by the Jin army, Xiang Yan died at the hands of the Jin army.

Xiang Yan wields considerable influence within the Xiang clan. While this might not mean much to the younger generation, for elders like Xiang Liu, Xiang Liang's problems remain an inescapable issue.

Not to mention the elders of the Xiang clan, even the once unruly Xiang Yu could be reined in by Xiang Yan.

Therefore, even if it weren't for the fact that Xiang Liu had been on the opposite side of him all these years, just for this reason alone, Yu Ji would take this opportunity to get rid of such a troublesome person.

In fact, the reason why Xiang Liu was so easily ignited by the powder keg in this incident was indeed due to some underhanded tactics secretly employed by Yu Ji.

Therefore, provoked by certain individuals, during a coalition council meeting, the initial argument between the two sides escalated directly to the point of physical confrontation.

Indeed, at this time, Southern Chu was really weak, with only a few soldiers left!

However, Xiang Liu was brave enough to withstand it!

No matter how many soldiers the Southeast Asian coalition has, this is a meeting where high-ranking officers from various countries are present. How could those soldiers possibly get in?

Having shared a military tent with a formidable figure like Xiang Liu, everyone was spurred to the point of wanting to fight. With Xiang Liu's strength as a beginner-level god-level warrior, what loss could he possibly suffer?

Before the soldiers outside could even break in, he had already given them enough time to unleash a barrage of blows at point-blank range.

What's the use of having so many soldiers outside if we just take a few hostages?

Therefore, from this point on, the internal conflict within the Southeast Asian coalition officially erupted.

It was during this opportunity that Yu Ji, along with her trusted confidants, quietly left the Southeast Asian coalition and escaped this quagmire.
