Chapter 1856

"Can I not accept it? In this situation, that guy is determined to get me. He knows that I have no choice but to agree! "

Wu Lie said hatefully. Even though he knew that the other party had bad intentions, he couldn't do anything to him.

First of all, he didn't have many allies left in the Seven Nations, and he couldn't afford to lose Pei Nation.

That Chen Yi said that the Ruo Lan Kingdom was in trouble and that the Pei Kingdom would not be able to hold on any longer and might surrender to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince. On the surface, it looked like he was explaining the situation they were in, but in reality, he was threatening him!

If they didn't give him benefits and gave him the Mist Kingdom instead, then the Pei Kingdom might betray them at any moment!

Would he still dare to reject the other party's suggestion after understanding the deeper meaning behind these words?

Secondly, although the other party had ulterior motives, he had to admit that his plan could indeed turn the situation around.

In the eyes of the Seven Kingdoms, the Pei Kingdom was currently under Wu Lie's control. If the Pei Kingdom attacked the Mist Kingdom, it would be seen as a counterattack against the Flaming Sun Crown Prince and the Qiankun Group.

As long as the Pei Kingdom won, not only would they be able to stop the forces of the Flaming Sun Kingdom from infiltrating the Mist Kingdom, it would also serve as a warning to the other countries so that those fence-sitters wouldn't dare to act rashly!

There were too many benefits for him if the Pei State sent troops. He had invested too much effort in the fight for the throne in Dacheng. He could not give up such a good opportunity just because he did not want others to benefit!

Considering the power of the Chen Clan, he couldn't refuse.

Even if he knew it was a trap, he still had to jump into it!

"Make another trip to Peidu and tell Chen Yi that I agree with his plan, but there are conditions."

"After the Pei army successfully invades the Mist Kingdom, you can hand over the territory you occupy to the Pei army. I guarantee that Great Cheng won't blame you afterward. However, the new Mist King must be decided by me. Once this is done, the Pei Kingdom must also withdraw their troops! "

Wu Lie carefully warned the Crow General Commander and stated his conditions clearly.

If you don't feed a horse, it won't run fast. He knew what Chen Yi wanted, so he would just give it to him.

However, the control of the Mist Kingdom had to be in his hands. He already had a candidate in mind for the Mist King, and all Pei Guo needed to do was help his candidate from the outside.

As long as he appointed the Mist King, the Mist Kingdom would still be under his control, just like before. He would still have a lot of room to maneuver in the Seven Kingdoms!

Now that the situation in the seven countries had stabilized, he could focus on dealing with the complicated situation in Sheng Yang Realm. Furthermore, he had the upper hand, so he believed that his chances of winning were very high!

"This subordinate understands. We'll set off now."

After receiving Wu Lie's order, Crow General once again headed to Pei Kingdom as fast as he could.

Actually, there was no need for him to do it personally. There were more convenient ways to contact them, but this matter was of great importance. He had to make a trip personally to clarify things before Wu Lie could be at ease.

After General Crow left, Wu Lie immediately sent a letter to the Mist Kingdom, telling his men to prepare in advance so that they could coordinate with the Pei Kingdom.

A war required a lot of preparation. He could create a very favorable environment for Pei Kingdom, but how much territory Pei Kingdom could take would depend on that person's ability!

…

Commander Crow made another trip to Peidu, but he only stayed for about half a day before he left in a hurry.

After he left, Gu Chen immediately met with Liu Yan and Tang Xuance, informing them of his and Wu Lie's plan.

When he learned that Pei Kingdom was going to attack the Mist Kingdom, Tang Xuance was extremely shocked and worried.

But when Gu Chen told him the specifics of the plan, Tang Xuance's mood quickly turned into excitement and anticipation.

"With the Mist Kingdom's help, our chances of winning will be very high!"

Tang Xuance was completely convinced by the person in front of him. He finally understood why Gu Chen didn't ask him to withdraw the troops stationed at the border and instead sent more troops. It turned out that he already had plans for the Mist Kingdom.

Because the troops had never withdrawn from the border, the Mist Kingdom naturally had no reason to suspect anything. Pei Kingdom could completely launch a surprise attack.

The early stages of the war had already been prepared. Taking advantage of the Mist Kingdom's current state of disunity, and with the cooperation of Prince Wu Lie's men, Pei Kingdom's victory was almost certain!

"Thirty years ago, the Mist Kingdom seized three of Pei Kingdom's prefectures, which was viewed as a great humiliation by the late king. I didn't expect that under my reign, I would have the chance to regain my territory. "

Liu Yan was also very excited and emotional. He knew that the current situation was not easy to come by.

"You only want to take back the three prefectures? You don't want more and the entire Mist Kingdom? "

Gu Chen's shocking words startled Tang Xuance, who was next to him.

"Mister Chen, the Mist Kingdom has a total of 79 prefectures. With the Pei Kingdom's military strength, we can at most take down ten prefectures. It will be very difficult to swallow the Mist Kingdom."

Tang Xuance hurriedly reminded, afraid that Gu Chen would move too quickly.

In a war between countries, it was easy to win, but occupying a territory was not.

Winning a war might only require a surprise troop, but successfully occupying and absorbing a territory required a lot of manpower, resources, and energy.

Pei Kingdom had always been rich, so he dared to boldly imagine taking down ten prefectures, but more than that was impossible.

If Pei Kingdom invested too much manpower and resources into the Mist Kingdom, it would instead threaten its own foundation.

The best way was to take things slow and steady. They would absorb as much territory as they could from the Mist Kingdom. That was the real benefit.

Destroying the Mist Kingdom sounded domineering, but the price to pay was too high. Moreover, Great Cheng would not allow it.

"It's just a thought. I hope that Prince Pei and Lord Tang can think further and not just focus on the small benefits in front of them."

Gu Chen explained with a smile and added. "Of course, Lord Tang is the expert in war. I'll have to learn from him in the future."

Tang Xuance heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gu Chen was still very rational.

Thinking about it, how could a person who could see the opportunity to attack the Mist Kingdom so far in advance not think through everything?

Liu Yan and Tang Xuance stayed in the Luo Water Palace for a long time. They only left together when the specific plan of attack was finalized.

When they left, they were excited. Pei Kingdom had been suppressed for too long under the threat of the Mist Kingdom. Now, they finally had a chance to eliminate this threat once and for all!

Not long after they left, Clay Bodhisattva came to Gu Chen.

"Boss, there's news from the Ze Kingdom."

Clay Bodhisattva said and handed a letter to Gu Chen.

He was now in charge of the communication between the Luo Water Palace and the outside world. Even the information gathered by Pei Kingdom's spy agency would pass through his hands.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up. The news from the Ze Kingdom had come a little late.

He took the letter and opened it. He discovered that it was personally written by the Wildfox Ancestor.

Just like the other kingdoms, the Wild Fox King City had been attacked as well.

However, the Wildfox Ancestor had sensed it in advance and dealt with the Qiankun Association's assassins in time, so they were safe and didn't cause much of a commotion.

The Wildfox Ancestor even thanked Gu Chen in the letter. He said that it was because Gu Chen had secretly snuck into his nest that he had strengthened his defenses. Otherwise, he might not have been able to discover the Qiankun Association's assassins.

In addition, the Wildfox Ancestor also promised to advance and retreat together with Pei Kingdom in the letter. It seemed that he was trying to curry favor with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen read the letter seriously and fell into deep thought. He then burned the letter on the spot.
