Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 813 Xiang Yu's Proposal: A Straight Attack on the Heart of the Army
The fighting style of the Great Qian Kingdom.

They already have enough knowledge.

To avoid further damage, the people of the Eastern Holy Kingdom decided for the first time to change the rules they had long established.

In their view, this was a war in which they themselves broke the rules.

Victory is naturally within reach.

Just three days later.

The armies of the Great Qian Kingdom and the Eastern Holy Kingdom had already engaged in a fierce clash.

Although the army of the Eastern Holy Kingdom was not yet ready.

However, the Eastern Holy Kingdom has put in a great deal of effort for this battle.

And it's not just here.

Every army of the Great Qian Kingdom received the care of the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

This time, the intensity of the battle between the two sides has increased dramatically.

"Are those people from the Eastern Holy Kingdom crazy? Based on our previous understanding, the Eastern Holy Kingdom shouldn't be able to gather such a powerful fighting force in such a short time."

Qin Qiong began to speak.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

War is such a thing.

It may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple. As long as you have enough intelligence, you can understand the other party's action path.

The Eastern Holy Kingdom is very powerful, but precisely because of its power, all of its strength is out in the open, because they are not worried about any enemy's ambitions towards them except the Holy Kingdom.

As for the other two great holy kingdoms.

They are destined to share the same stance as the Eastern Holy Kingdom, so naturally they would never do such a thing.

Therefore, in their view, even if they exposed their troop strength, it would not have much of an impact.

Even though many superior nations were frantically spying on information about the Eastern Holy Kingdom, the Eastern Holy Kingdom remained unperturbed, watching the laughable actions of those so-called superior nations with ease.

However, the moment this war began...

The Eastern Holy Kingdom had already begun to regret its actions.

However, the situations that have been exposed cannot be changed in a short period of time.

This is why the Great Qian Kingdom's attack went so smoothly, because the Great Qian Kingdom was very clear about what forces the Eastern Holy Kingdom could send out.

Even in the Eastern Holy Kingdom, there are other mobile forces.

However, such an existence cannot directly change the overall situation on the battlefield.

Upon hearing Qin Qiong's words, Cheng Yaojin, who was standing to the side, curled his lip and then spoke up:
"In my opinion, those people from the Eastern Holy Kingdom probably don't intend to continue putting on airs."

"How to say?"

Pei Yuanqing glanced at him.

His eyes held a hint of confusion.

He wasn't good at making these plans.

Although his fighting ability is stronger than Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.

But when it comes to formulating battle plans, he is usually the listener.

Many of the other generals were puzzled, while others were pondering what Cheng Yaojin had just said.

Then Cheng Yaojin spoke up:
"The principle is actually very simple. The intelligence we have is absolutely not going to be wrong. Right now, the Eastern Holy Kingdom simply does not have enough mobile forces to send out a large-scale reinforcement in such a short period of time."

There's only one possibility for this to happen: the Eastern Holy Kingdom has deployed all the troops it can muster.

"You mean that the Eastern Holy Kingdom's seemingly frantic offensive is actually a case of outward strength masking inner weakness?"

Qin Qiong realized what was happening and nodded.

"This possibility certainly exists."

Our current offensive is very rapid, and all the armies have certain advantages. However, in principle, precisely because of this, the Eastern Holy Kingdom should restrain its strength and delay the time to wait for more of their reinforcements to arrive at the front line and fight us.

So you're saying that while that possibility does exist, it's extremely low.

"No!"

Jia Xu, who was accompanying the army, suddenly spoke up:
"Under normal circumstances, the Eastern Holy Kingdom should indeed tighten its defenses and slow down our offensive by resisting step by step."

But what if the Eastern Holy Kingdom doesn't intend to do that, but instead wants to completely defeat our Great Qian Kingdom?

This seemingly swift attack is actually just a feint by the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

The true trump card of the Eastern Holy Kingdom has yet to be revealed.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

They had all guessed this possibility, but they felt it was too unlikely, so no one brought it up.

Now that Jia Xu has brought this up, they can't help but start to think about it.

“The Eastern Holy Kingdom does not have enough strength. If this force is a feint attack, it means they have staked everything. If they fail, we can penetrate into the heart of the Eastern Holy Kingdom in a very short time.”

It even directly threatens the capital of the Eastern Holy Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, the Eastern Holy Kingdom would not accept such an outcome.

Unless the Eastern Holy Kingdom believes they have a very high chance of achieving final victory, they wouldn't dare to take such a gamble.

After hearing that sentence.

Jia Xu's face was grim, and then he spoke:
"From the moment the three holy kingdoms appeared, a rule was established in this world."

Sages do not participate in battles.

Even a semi-saint level expert would not participate in battles at a lower level.

Unless their own dynasty is already threatened by enemies.

For tens of thousands of years, almost no one has dared to easily break this seemingly unimportant rule.

This is because the rules were set by the three great dynasties.

Although we don't know the reason for this rule, if the Eastern Holy Kingdom faces a threat... will they continue to abide by this rule that can be broken at any time?

Jia Xu was unaware of why the three great holy kingdoms had established such rules.

After all, he didn't have enough information.

Only someone like Zhou Yuan, who has become a sage and understands the essence of heaven and earth, can have some guesses about the existence of the three great holy kingdoms.

Unfortunately, he had already guessed what the Eastern Holy Kingdom wanted to do.

"If that's the case... then I'm afraid a large army will be attacked by a semi-saint from the Eastern Holy Kingdom."

The expressions on everyone's faces had become extremely solemn.

When a semi-saint level expert makes a move, no one except those of the same level can withstand the opponent's attack.

Even if some of them, who are above the ninth rank, already possess extremely formidable strength.

However, there is almost no one in this world who can directly contend with a semi-saint level expert.

Even Li Yuanba, when he was a powerful expert above the ninth rank.

They were only barely able to put up a fight against a half-saint level expert.

But in reality, without the support of a large army and the resources of other powerful individuals above the ninth rank, it would be impossible.

Even with Li Yuanba's abilities, it's absolutely impossible for him to truly contend with a half-saint level expert.

Li Yuanba's strength is well-known.

There wasn't a single expert above the ninth rank who dared to claim their strength was above Li Yuanba's.

"Immediately inform the Holy Lord of the information here. This matter is beyond our control. Although the possibility is not very high, if it happens, it will be a fatal blow to us."

The losses of one army could change the course of the war.

the most important is.

This was a heavy blow to the Great Qian Empire and the other great empires standing behind it. And after that...

The number of semi-saint powerhouses possessed by the Eastern Holy Kingdom still far exceeds that of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Therefore, winning this war will be extremely difficult.

This will turn the current advantage of the Great Qian Kingdom into a huge disadvantage.

As for getting those semi-saint level experts from other superior nations to join the war, that's practically impossible.

Because those dynasties are completely different from the Great Qian Kingdom. The semi-saint powerhouses of those dynasties hold an absolutely high and mighty position within the dynasty, even though they hope to obtain the dynasty's fortune to further develop their strength.

However, having reached this level of strength, they have survived for thousands of years.

Those semi-saint level experts are absolutely unwilling to take risks lightly.

There is only one reason why they would take action: the Great Qian Kingdom and the Eastern Holy Kingdom have both suffered heavy losses.

In order to destroy the Eastern Holy Kingdom, those dynasties intervened in the market war.

However, their aim was not to help the Great Qian Kingdom, but to steal the fruits of victory in this war.

They might send a large number of troops and resources to support the war between the Great Qian Kingdom and the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

However, they themselves would never actually make a move.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Liang quickly guessed this possibility.

Upon hearing this, Guan Sheng, who was not far from him, looked on with disbelief.

"Prime Minister..."

Would the Eastern Holy Kingdom really do that?
Although the rules were set by the Eastern Holy Kingdom, the Eastern Holy Kingdom is also able to break them.

However, I feel that the Eastern Holy Kingdom has not yet encountered any major crisis.

Directly destroying the rules they painstakingly established will inevitably affect all three holy kingdoms.

The other two holy kingdoms probably wouldn't agree.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's speculations about the three holy kingdoms and this rule, Guan Sheng, the Great Saber, was filled with doubts.

He wasn't the only one; several other people shared the same doubts.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said:
No, they will almost certainly do that.

Although this might invalidate the rules governing the establishment of the three holy kingdoms, it would also preserve the power of the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

For the Eastern Holy Kingdom, they absolutely cannot afford to suffer too much loss, once the loss exceeds their established limit.

For the Eastern Holy Kingdom, this was no different from the destruction of the kingdom.

Although the three holy kingdoms appear to be on the same side, in reality, they all harbor mutual fear and covetousness towards each other.

Like three overlords of the forest.

The current harmony is merely because none of the three parties can do anything about the other.

But now, if the balance of power in the Eastern Holy Kingdom is broken, then the remaining two overlords will certainly not hesitate to devour the entire Eastern Holy Kingdom.

However, breaking this rule would only harm the interests of the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

They would naturally choose the method that benefits the Holy Kingdom of the East.

I heard this.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

smart!

He truly deserves to be the prime minister of their Great Qian Kingdom.

Based on some intelligence, one can piece together the clues and guess such a possibility.

This was, in their view, an unimaginable wisdom.

Zhou Yuan sat in the center of the army.

When he first received the news of the sudden counterattack from the Eastern Holy Kingdom, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

However, they soon saw memorials submitted by various armies.

Then Zhou Yuan laughed.

Because almost every army believed that the Eastern Holy Kingdom was very likely to decide to break the rules.

He then looked at the crowd below and said with a smile:

"Look, every army is telling me that the Eastern Holy Kingdom will break the rules and try to use its advanced power to directly attack the army of my Great Qian Kingdom."

If only one person says this, then the possibility is indeed not very high.

But since almost everyone gave this answer, I really had no reason not to believe it.

What do you all think we should do next?

He looked at the crowd.

Everyone here is a powerhouse above the level of a semi-saint.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"Since they've decided to break the rules, we should naturally respond in kind, or rather, we're the ones who broke the rules on our own initiative."

However, to prevent a counterattack from the Eastern Holy Kingdom, they pretended to follow the rules after breaching its borders.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu, who had been sitting silently to the side, spoke up:
"That is to say...

"The capital of the Holy Kingdom to the east will become very empty, won't it?"

Hear this.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Xiang Yu meant.

Zhou Yuan didn't react for a moment.

Then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Does General Xiang intend to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory?"

He originally intended to resolve the problems of the Eastern Holy Kingdom little by little through war.

But the idea that Xiang Yu is now proposing seems to be a new possibility.

In the present Great Qian Kingdom, there are three more sages.

However, the Eastern Holy Kingdom only has two.

Although there is a considerable gap between the two sides in terms of the power of a semi-saint.

However, if the Eastern Holy Kingdom breaks the rules, it means that a large number of semi-saint powerhouses will leave the capital and go to the front line.

After all, they couldn't be certain how many semi-saint level experts were guarding the Great Qian Kingdom.

If they make the wrong choice, it means they could be wiped out, a result that no semi-saint powerhouse would want to accept.

Even the saints of the Eastern Holy Kingdom might appear near the battlefield.

After all, this war ultimately came to a head.

They are saint-level powerhouses.

Even a semi-saint level expert can only offer limited assistance in such a war.

They posed no real threat to the saint.

At that time, the capital of the Eastern Holy Kingdom will inevitably be weaker than ever before.

If the three great saints, along with a large number of semi-saints, appeared simultaneously in the capital of the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

Could we simply kill those two saints in the capital of the Eastern Holy Kingdom?
It seems...

This will be an unprecedented opportunity.
