Niu Kelian's eyes fell on the two red and black "shi" stars, and he seemed to have some realization.
Immediately, Luo Piaoling raised his right hand slightly, tapped it with two fingers, and said: "As the capital of a country, the defense of Youjing City is naturally unmatched by other city gates in Zhongzhou, but no matter how reliable the city is, there is always a fatal weakness. .”
Luo Piaoling paused for a moment and deliberately let it slip.
Niu Kelian knew it all, but he didn't have any proud look on his face. Instead, he crossed his unsymmetrical arms and solemnly and solemnly said two words: "People's hearts."
Luo Piaoling said: "Yes, since ancient times, people have united and Mount Tai has moved, but how many rigid city walls have begun to rot from the inside long before the troops came to the city? When Yangguan fell, it can be said that it was located in a remote place and the reinforcement route was single. As long as the enemy is willing to spend money and deploy heavy troops, it will not be difficult to cut off the supply of Yangguan and drag it to death. But what about Jinzhou City? In the past, General Helan of Zhenbei was stationed in Xixingguan. The Huo family, the last wall of Jinzhou City, organized seven large-scale attacks within a year. They could not even climb the wall of Xixingguan once. However, they were completely destroyed in the eighth attack and broke through Xixingguan. Jinzhou. Is it really because the Huo family is banned from the city that General Helan, who is also known as the Five Tiger Generals who protect the country, cannot defend the city without the support of this Jianghu force? "
Luo Piaoling's tone was calm, but these three questions were like three heavy hammers, one hammer heavier than the other, hitting Niu Kelian's heart.
Yes, Xixingguan, Jinzhou City and Huojiahui, which had been able to confront the Wala Army for more than a year, were overturned day and night. There is only one explanation. They were all betrayed by their own people!
Unexpectedly, after prying open the north gate of Zhongzhou, the Oara army rushed southeast like locusts, approaching Youjing. Zhongzhou's situation was in danger, and everyone's focus had to be on how to resist the further actions of the Oara army, and how to To prevent the Oara and Japanese from joining forces, there were several key battles that turned the tide of the war, and the joy of the final victory against the foreign barbarians soon overshadowed everything else.
It overshadows the strange things that should have been seen, ignored for a while, but constantly forgotten as time goes by.
Niu Kelian's eyes were blazing. Although soldiers on the battlefield were not afraid of deceit, it would be difficult for anyone to calm down if a traitor was found among his confidants.
Fortunately, these things did not happen to him back then, but every time he recalled the past, he would have doubts, hesitation, and even fear. Gradually, he no longer recalled it, but chose to forget it.
Until Luo Piaoling mentioned this matter again today, Niu Kelian could no longer avoid it. Although he deliberately tried to restrain himself, there were flames dancing in his huge eyes.
Niu Kelian said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that there are people with different intentions in the court?"
This is a very serious question, and Luo Piaoling's answer is also very serious: "Whether this person has different intentions towards Zhongzhou is another matter, but it is certain that the massacre of Jinzhou City and the destruction of the Huo family twenty years ago was his single-handedly of."
With unkempt hair and beard, Niu Kelian clenched his right fist tightly, trying his best to control his emotions, and said, "Why?"
Niu Kelian could only ask two words, but Luo Piaoling understood the meaning.
Since it is certain that the massacre of Jinzhou City and the destruction of the Huo family twenty years ago was caused by this person, why should we say whether he had different intentions or not?
Luo Piaoling gave an explanation, saying: "This person is also an important contributor to the capture of Oala and the victory of Zhongzhou against foreigners. At present, there is no sufficient evidence to prove that this person has the intention to surrender to the enemy and treason."
Luo Piaoling did not reveal the identity of the person outright, but Niu Kelian already knew it in his heart, and his beard on his cheeks was trembling.
Luo Piaoling further said: "Based on the information we have learned, the party facing this person may not be bent on Zhongzhou."
Niu Kelian looked slightly confused, lowered his head and asked again: "Why?"
Luo Piaoling said: "Because the actions of both parties last month were surprisingly consistent."
Niu Kelian said: "Weaken the martial arts world?"
Luo Piaoling knocked on the black "bishop" that he had moved off the chessboard, and affirmed: "It is also equivalent to weakening Zhongzhou's overall strength."
"Could it be both..." Niu Kelian lowered his voice and shook his head, unwilling to believe his guess.
Fortunately, Luo Piaoling has categorically denied it before he finished speaking: "No. After years of hiding, the two sides have accumulated a lot of accumulation, and the hidden cards must be revealed in order to compete for resources. Suppressing the Jianghu forces is beneficial to both parties, so The Hundred Flowers Conference will be the only and last tacit action between the two sides. As for the day when Zhongzhou is in crisis, it is impossible to judge now who will be the defender and who will be the breaker."
Upon hearing this, Niu Kelian looked again at the two red and black "soldiers" on both sides of the black "general". His strong body could not help but feel a chill, and then his heart became cold as well.
Niu Kelian sighed and said, "So?"
Niu Kelian was already feeling tired. Just like in the past years, whenever he thought about the current situation in Zhongzhou, he always felt that he could no longer muster up any energy to compete. Now he just wanted to give Luo Piaoling a quick pleasure: So you came to me in hope. what I do?
When Luo Piaoling saw this, he knew it was time to make a final conclusion, so he adjusted his clothes slightly and said solemnly: "The martial arts community in Zhongzhou has suffered a heavy blow. It will not be able to return to its original state in three to five years. Zhongzhou is currently in a precarious situation, so we are by no means alarmist."
"If the foreign barbarians are in chaos again, they will start in Fujian, Lingnan City, Longjie Ferry, Yangguan, and Jinzhou City."
"Although I have focused more on Fujian in recent years, under pressure from many parties, the Dao and Righteous Alliance is no longer the newly born Dao and Righteous Alliance that was not afraid of tigers, but a Dao and Righteous Alliance that is riddled with holes and manages to support itself. It can keep an eye on Fujian. It is not easy to move the local government, but it is difficult to replace the functions that the local government should have. Therefore, the Fujian general with a loose defense line will easily fall and become a bridgehead for Japan to further invade Zhongzhou."
"General Cheng Cheng is a rare talent, but the city government is slightly lacking. Although Lingnan City will not face the situation of one against ten again, there is no guarantee that it will not be disintegrated from within."
"Uncle Shi is not here at the Longjie Ferry, but his heroic spirit is still there. It's just that the brothers from the Shi Family Army are already quite old. They can help for a while, but they can't hold on for a year."
"Since General Huyan and Shunde stained Yangguan with blood and General Helan died in Jinzhou City, no one can defend Yangguan and Jinzhou City anymore. If the Wala army comes again, the two cities will be destroyed faster than before."
"Juli is like a grass on the wall, and will fall wherever the wind blows. In the past, they were afraid of the power of Zhongzhou and bowed their heads. But once Zhongzhou's beacon fire company camped, coupled with the instigation of Japan, Juli might not be able to borrow the road from Japan, or do something Logistics and supply matters. There has always been nothing wrong with the Xushui River. The defense line has not been tested and is not worth relying on. As long as Japan is well prepared, the army will be at the gate of Youjing in less than a month. How to distribute the west and south of Youjing between Japan and Wala Regarding the matter, the two are also happy to give up the northeastern part of Youjing. In such a win-win situation, Juli may give it a try."
"And the most uncontrollable problem is in the city of Youjing... Although Zhongzhou is seven inches long, if only Gusu is left to support it, it will be destroyed soon."
"Of course this battle is not limited to the battlefield, but also takes place in the world. This was the case twenty years ago."
"Jianghu people can only handle matters in the Jianghu. Although Xiao Luo has made many friends over the years who can help, matters on the battlefield cannot be solved simply by going back and forth."
"Zhongzhou needs someone who has the charisma and ability to command and deploy troops. After the accident in Lingnan City, when the Longjie Ferry failed to hold up, and when a large army was galloping south from Yangguan, he could lead the army to intercept the raging waves at the top of the clouds. Foreign barbarians should stabilize the situation in central Zhongzhou, help Gusu City share the pressure, and preserve the hope of Zhongzhou’s survival.”
"I came here just to ask Uncle Niu to come out and take charge of the overall situation!"
After saying this, Luo Piaoling, Meng Chaoge, and Xue Qinghuan stood up and cupped their hands.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely solemn and silent. Xiaohua turned around at some point and looked at Niu Kelian with her big bright eyes, with a complicated expression.
Niu Kelian didn't look at the three of them, he still lowered his head and waved his hand to indicate to the three of them to sit down.
After seeing that the three of them were unmoved for a while, he said impatiently: "It's meaningless..."
