After the immortal disappeared

Zhong Shengguang stood up straight and bowed to everyone: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Today I have to inform everyone of an important decision."

He Lingchuan immediately caught the unusualness in this sentence:

"Notify."

Zhong Shengguang did not come to discuss with everyone, but to inform everyone. Because he had made up his mind.

He Lingchuan raised his hand and pressed behind his ear. Alas, it was exactly as he judged.

General Nan Ke looked around and suddenly said: "Commander Zhong, may I ask where General Hong is?"

How could General Hong be absent from such an important military meeting?

But all the generals gathered together, but General Hong was missing. She is the pillar and soul of the Panlongcheng army.

Zhong Shengguang's face and tone were very calm: "She is in seclusion again, maybe for a while."

General Hong's seclusion is not a common occurrence, but at least once every one or two years. She is a body descended from the gods, and often needs to borrow various powers to strengthen and improve herself. The veterans present all know that General Hong will be stronger every time she comes out of seclusion.

But a smart man like He Lingchuan could still smell something unusual.

General Hong went into seclusion just after defeating Xianyou. Wasn't it too hasty? Beijia was the most difficult one to deal with, and he would not give up.

Not to mention, General Beijia had already set out and was about to lead his army.

Under such circumstances, General Hong was in a hurry to go into seclusion. He Lingchuan could only infer that she had her own reasons.

He knew a little more secrets than others, such as Mingdengzhan, and Zhong Shengguang's secret plans for Mitian.

And according to the clues he got from Qianhuan, Miaozhantian and other powerful people, in real history, Zhong Shengguang was likely to succeed.

Zhong Shengguang said again: "Don't worry, everyone. What I want to announce is the important decision that General Hong discussed with me before he went into seclusion."

Everyone stood up immediately.

The red-billed hornbill's vision was blocked, and it quickly flapped its wings and flew to He Lingchuan's shoulder.

The word "important decision" was mentioned twice today, and everyone knew that this matter was of great importance.

Zhong Shengguang knew that his next words were earth-shattering, and he took a deep breath before he said in a deep voice:

"Within 15 days, Panlong City will withdraw its troops from Xianyou."

General Nan Ke lost his voice: "Huh?"

Several young generals also exclaimed: "What? Withdrawal?"

The generals looked at each other, all looking at the shock on others' faces. So it was not that he heard it wrong, Commander Zhong really said that.

"This was originally one of the plans that General Hong and I made before attacking the capital of Xianyou."

He Lingchuan was silent.

General Nan Ke was the most straightforward, and he immediately fired: "Commander Zhong, I don't understand! How much effort did we put into conquering Xianyou! Why, why?"

The new general Han Wensheng was also puzzled: "If we give away the spoils of war, won't it be a bargain for others?"

With the two of them taking the lead, the rest of the people spoke one after another, and even the big-billed hornbill on He Lingchuan's shoulder quacked a few times.

Zhao Xianhe, the commander of the army, and several veterans also frowned, disagreeing, but they didn't say anything.

No one could accept spitting out the fat meat in their mouths.

Amid the noise, Zhong Shengguang remained silent, basically listening to all the opposing voices present.

This was already expected by him.

But before he spoke, someone spoke first.

"In the past few months, our strategic intention to attack Xianyou has been achieved. It would be a wise decision to withdraw troops at this time!"

He used his true power to overwhelm the voices of others.

Zhong Shengguang looked sideways, his expression was indifferent, but he was surprised and then happy in his heart, because this person was He Lingchuan!

This kid was passionate in the study just now, and he also insisted on occupying Xianyou; but when he came to the hall of war, he changed his position.

Zhong Shengguang was very pleased. Just this recognition and tacit understanding, He Lingchuan was far ahead of others.

General Nan Ke immediately turned his fire to He Lingchuan, and would never tolerate it: "Commander...you...huh, you are going to give up even the biggest trophy, Xianyou, what strategic intention is there?"

He raised his voice even louder, but this time no one joined in.

The generals looked at him, then at Zhong Shengguang and He Lingchuan, and they were quiet.

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

They suddenly remembered that although General Hong was not present, this was a decision made by General Hong and Zhong Shengguang. Now General Hu Yi, who has made great military achievements and a great reputation, also supports Zhong Shengguang, that is, the three of them are on the same front.

No one present can compete with this amount.

He Lingchuan's steady voice reached everyone's ears: "We can basically take away the benefits of attacking Xianyou; we don't want to bear the disadvantages of attacking Xianyou now, so Commander Zhong decided to withdraw."

It is human nature to like gains and hate losses, so he cuts in from this angle.

Zhao Xianhe crossed his arms: "What benefits can we take away?"

"Everyone, think about it, why do we want to attack Xianyou?" He Lingchuan said, "In addition to revenge, the most important reason is to get rid of this old enemy who is eyeing us covetously, break Beijia's plan of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, and then eliminate the pressure on the northern line of Panlong Desert!"

Xianyou and Baling have strong military forces. They are both the vanguards of Beijia's oppression of Panlong Desert, like the two sharp claws of the evil wolf. Now that Panlong City has cut off one of them, the wolf is lame and its power is not as strong as before.

"We have achieved this strategic goal, whether we continue to occupy Xianyou or not."

The generals did not say a word and agreed.

Even if Xianyou regains its autonomy after the destruction, it will not pose a serious threat to Panlong Wasteland in a short period of time.

"Secondly, we need to break through the blockade of the northwest and bring troops, merchants and businesses to the northwest corridor." He Lingchuan said seriously, "This is also easy now."

That's right. The young generals who admired General Hu Yi nodded unconsciously.

"Secondly, Xianyou is a powerful country in the northwest and is quite wealthy. We can exercise the power of the victor over it."

He said it very tactfully. In fact, the wealth accumulated by Xianyou over the years has belonged to Panlong City.

This big piece of fat is enough for Panlong City to eat until its mouth is full of oil.

Han Wensheng still refused to accept: "But are we just going to give up the land and population of Xianyou?"

"Everything has its pros and cons, and we have to make choices. I just talked about the 'pros' of occupying Xianyou, but if we want to continue to occupy Xianyou, we have to consider the 'cons'." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Occupying Xianyou has at least these major disadvantages."

The Hall of Weapons was quiet, and everyone was waiting to listen.

"First of all, our governance and management costs in Xianyou are very high. Panlong City and Xianyou have been enemies for more than ten years. Even if we have occupied the capital and killed the King of Xianyou, the resistance sentiment in various parts of Xianyou is still high. Lord Zhao knows this best."
