Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 474 General's Mansion (2)

Chu Xiaomu was not familiar with military affairs, Jieyun Pass, Lishan, etc., so he could only say: "The general's speculation makes sense. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Red Army attacks Baijun City, and the general should make plans early."

Mu Longguang nodded and said, "You are right. Unless we make plans early, my Bai Juncheng will not be spared. This is why I called you here. You must tell me everything you know about the Chisha Kingdom."

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help feeling angry, thinking, you asked me to come over to talk to you about something, but you wouldn't let me sit down, didn't even pour me a cup of tea, and spoke to me in such a condescending manner, is this how you invite me over to discuss something?

Mu Longguang stared at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Tell me what you know."

Chu Xiaomu said, "General Mu, it's right that you want to prepare in advance to deal with the Red Soldiers, but there is a better way that you don't know."

Mu Longguang frowned and asked, "What method?"

"There are seven big cities in Cangmu Country, namely Xihai City, Baijun City, Jinyang City, Anfeng City, Yancheng City, Yutuo City and Bicheng. We are all from the same lineage, so we should help each other. But when Bicheng was attacked by the Red Soldiers, not only did you not send a single soldier to help, I guess you were watching the fight from afar, waiting to reap some benefits after Bicheng was destroyed."

"If this goes on, Bicheng will inevitably be destroyed, and the next ones may be Jinyangcheng and Yutuocheng. Once these two cities are destroyed, most of Cangmu Kingdom's land will be occupied by the Chisha people. By then, it will be Xihaicheng and Anfengcheng. If your Baijun City is besieged by 100,000 red soldiers, I'm afraid it will not be spared..." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice gradually became louder.

The capable deputy general named Qi Ganzhi interrupted and angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense, Chu boy. How can your Bicheng compare with our Baijuncheng? Whether it's money, food, people or fortifications, which one can match us?! Besides, we have three great generals, especially our General Mu, whose original force martial arts are extraordinary, and you can't imagine it!"

Seeing Qi Gan angrily scolding Chu Xiaomu, Xiaoying pointed at him and scolded him, "Didn't you just call him Brother Chu and said you wanted to get closer to him? Why are you calling him a 'Chu brat' now? Do you have any sense of reason?!"

Qi Ganzhi said: "Little girl, what does this have to do with reason or not..." Suddenly, he saw General Mu glaring at him fiercely, and he was so scared that he dared not say anything.

Mu Longguang took a four-foot-long straight stick from the table, pointed roughly at a half circle on the sand table map, and said, "We have set up defense lines in this area and are speeding up the construction of fortifications. Little brother, in your opinion, can these stop the Red Army?"

Chu Xiaomu asked back: "General Mu, can the fortifications you built survive the Humu Pass?"

"No."

"Can the martial arts of your three great generals be stronger than that of General Biye? Can the martial arts of your lieutenant generals be stronger than that of the five great lieutenants of Bicheng?"

Mu Longguang still said: "No."

"Can the soldiers of Baijun City be stronger than the cavalry of Bicheng in terms of combat power?"

Mu Longguang sighed and said, "No."

Chu Xiaomu stopped asking and just looked at Mu Longguang without saying a word.

Mu Longguang pondered for a while and said, "Then tell me, what should we do in Baijun City?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "For now, we should not defend our own city to death, but unite and resist the Chisha army together!"

Mu Longguang said: "What you said makes sense, but if we want the seven major cities to unite to deal with the Red Soldiers, it will be much more difficult than defeating them. Unless... unless..." He stopped talking.

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is another person in this world who can command the support of all."

"If such a person doesn't appear, are you just waiting for the destruction of Cangmu Country? General Mu, why don't you from Baijun City break down the barriers between city-states and help our general to defend Bicheng first. The general is generous and magnanimous, and cares about all the people in the world. As long as the predicament of Bicheng can be solved, we can help you later."

Mu Longguang snorted and said, "What do you know at such a young age? Do you know why the pass between my city and your Bicheng is called 'Juhou Pass'?"

Chu Xiaomu was stunned and said, "I really don't know this. I need to ask the general for advice."

Mu Longguang said coldly: "Reject the Marquis, reject the Marquis, the one I reject is your Marquis Biyuan, Bi Ye!"

Chu Xiaomu didn't expect that General Bi Ye had another name called "Marquis Bi Yuan", but he didn't know what it meant. Seeing that Mu Longguang obviously didn't want to say more, he stopped asking.

Mu Longguang stared at the sand table map in front of him for a while, then suddenly heaved a long sigh and said, "Is the thousands of miles of beautiful mountains and rivers of my Baijun City going to be occupied by the Chisha people? Are the eight million people in my city going to become slaves of foreign races..." His voice was desolate and full of helplessness.

Suddenly, he became full of heroic spirit and said, "Although I have made some achievements in my life, they were all for our own things, the Cangmu people. These small gains are not worth mentioning! This time, the foreign race is bullying us. For the sake of the people of our city, this general will contribute his strength no matter what, even if it means burning my almost decayed body!"

Chu Xiaomu saw that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart and was indeed an admirable person, so he said, "General Mu, I know something about the Saudi people. I wonder if you are willing to listen."

Mu Longguang's eyes suddenly became sharp again, and he asked, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Chu Xiaomu then told the story of how the people of the Snow Country were traveling around the Cangmu Country with the Nether Abyss Cauldron, how the main reason why the Red Sand Country attacked the Cangmu Country was to seize the Nether Abyss Cauldron, how the Spirit King of the Claw Clan led the three clans of the Tooth Clan to sneak into the Green City to deal with the general, and how the ten generals of the Eye Clan had appeared in the Beast Mountain.

Mu Longguang's two lieutenants opened their mouths and stared at these words, as if they were listening to a childhood story.

Although Mu Longguang was calm, his breathing became heavier. He said, "It is recorded in ancient books that the Dark Abyss Cauldron is one of the four great artifacts used to suppress the heaven and earth. Once it is moved, evil spirits will rise up and the world will be in chaos. So that's how it is... As expected..."

Mu Longguang then asked some more questions about the Chisha Kingdom and the Mingyuan Ding. Chu Xiaomu answered them one by one, but naturally did not mention the fact that he was from Baihua Island and his connection with Bai Yixing from the Snow Country.

Mu Longguang finally asked someone to bring chairs, invited Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying to sit down, and brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and had a detailed conversation in front of the table.

He asked very carefully, and Chu Xiaomu answered all his questions except for those about the Beast Spirit Ancestor of the Beast Mountain, the King of All Beasts and the Queen Mother.
