In the apocalyptic calendar, around four o'clock in the morning on August 21, 2003, Feng Du was awakened by an urgent call while he was sleeping.
Feng Du looked a little surprised when he listened to the phone call.
Because half a million marines have arrived at the city, and they are waiting outside the east gate. There is no action for now, probably because they want to wait until daybreak before taking action.
Feng Du summoned the seven generals of ghosts and gods and came to the east gate city together.
Here, they could see countless lights and black shadows more than a thousand meters away.
"I really didn't expect that they would really come." Feng Du's expression was very complicated.
"Your Majesty, we only have 30,000 troops guarding the east gate. Should we gather all the troops in the city to the east gate?" General Zhen asked.
"Let's not rush yet. Since they haven't attacked yet, we don't need to be too anxious. In addition, we don't know yet whether they will have attacking troops in other directions."
"Understood."
A few minutes later, something suddenly shot over from a distance.
"Dong dong dong..." Those things fell down after colliding with the barrier and the city wall.
Feng Du was shocked and angry when he saw those things. It turned out that those were the heads of ghost soldiers. In other words, the small team of cavalry sent to inform Xiao Yifeng of the founding of the country had all been killed.
"This Xiao Yifeng is really bullying people. Your Majesty, please let me go out of the city and meet him for a while." General Zhe's eyes were so angry that he was holding the weapon tightly, as if he couldn't hold it anymore.
"No, don't be impulsive first." Feng Du refused.
"Your Majesty, I have super speed. Everything will be fine. I'll go check out the situation."
"No, there must be super-speed warriors among them. If there are more than three, you won't be able to escape."
"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Wait, let's check the situation first."
Feng Du really didn't understand what Xiao Yifeng's fault was, and he actually took it seriously.
As time went by, Feng Du became more and more uneasy. To be honest, he really didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the US military. Even if they win this battle, the Ghost Clan will suffer heavy losses. The most critical thing is that the seven to eight million dark zombies trapped in the city still have no armor. Once the city is captured, they will be massacred. Even if the strength of the dark zombies is over 100, they still cannot withstand the enemy's butcher knife.
"General Dou, what suggestions do you have?" Feng Du asked.
"To be honest, I don't have any good suggestions. If I have to say something, it would be to send another envoy to talk."
"That's all."
Afterwards, Feng Du sent envoys again to persuade Xiao Yifeng to withdraw his troops in order to maintain normal diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"King Xiao, the fight between us has given Jiang Feng an advantage. This is probably not the result you want. After all, you proposed the five-point Yanhuang strategic policy. Everyone in the world knows your real purpose of supporting the development of the four countries, which is to To curb the dominance of the Yan Kingdom. But what King Xiao did today is contrary to your previous policy..."
The messenger talked a lot, and Xiao Yifeng listened while eating melon seeds.
When the messenger's mouth became dry and he paused, Xiao Yifeng stood up, picked up a glass of water, and walked to the messenger.
"Are you thirsty?" Xiao Yifeng handed the water cup to the messenger.
"Thank you, King Xiao."
Just as the envoy reached out to take the water cup, Xiao Yifeng suddenly tipped the water cup over, and the water fell directly onto the envoy's hand.
At that moment, the messenger's tension rose rapidly.
In fact, the envoy knew that his coming this time was a disaster. After all, so many people had been beheaded by Xiao Yifeng before. But for the sake of the ghosts and gods, he had no choice but to go out as an envoy, hoping to use his sharp tongue to change Xiao Yifeng's mind.
However, Xiao Yifeng's current actions proved that the messenger's persuasion was ineffective.
Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "Do you know why I didn't kill you, but let you keep talking?"
"I am stupid and don't know what Prince Xiao means."
"As for me, I'm waiting for daybreak. I'll launch a general attack on Langfang City at dawn. During this period, I'm a little bored, so I just listened to what you have to say. But after listening to it, I was really I'm unhappy. From the beginning to the end, you didn't talk about the apology. Instead, you kept talking about the interests between the countries. Jiang Feng will benefit from the fight between the ghosts and gods and the US military. Do you think I'm not clear about this? But now , I don’t care about this. I just need an explanation, Feng Du must apologize.”
"Is the so-called apology really so important?"
"Hey, here's the problem. If it's not important, why doesn't Feng Du apologize? Isn't it difficult to make a video and say a few words?" Xiao Yifeng deliberately lengthened his voice.
"But, my king has done nothing wrong and has no reason to apologize to you."
"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. I think it's almost dawn. Let's do this. You don't have to say that we bully you. Let's just set a time."
"What time?"
"Of course it's attack time. In half an hour, at six o'clock, we will attack on time. Get ready and get out." Xiao Yifeng kicked him, sending the messenger flying dozens of meters away.
The envoy fell down and gnawed on the mud. He had no choice but to get up and go back to resume his life.
After listening to the envoy's report, Feng Du suddenly felt that the matter was much more difficult than imagined.
"It seems that Xiao Yifeng is determined to attack. What a stupid king, he is willing to go to war with us for his own image and face. This kind of person can't do big things at all." Feng Du is now angry and helpless .
"Your Majesty, there is something you should say or not say." General Dou frowned.
"you say."
"If Xiao Yifeng is a stupid king, what about you? Aren't you also refusing to apologize for the sake of your own image and face?"
"Presumptuous!" Feng Du roared.
"I know my mistake." General Dou knew that he had crossed the line, so he had to kneel down and admit his mistake.
The other generals also rebuked General Dou very angrily, saying how could he say such a thing. The king clearly did nothing wrong, so why should he apologize? Are you doing this because you want the Ghost Clan to lose face?
Almost all the generals were criticizing General Dou, but there was only one person who didn't say anything, and that was General Bing.
"Everyone be quiet." Feng Du ordered.
After everyone was quiet, Feng Du asked General Bing, "Why don't you speak?"
"I'm afraid I'll be scolded too."
"So, your point of view is the same as that of General Dou, and you want me to apologize to them?" Feng Du became increasingly angry.
"I don't want the king to apologize, because it will make the king lose face and damage the national image of the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods. However, there is still a fact before our eyes. That is, a false apology can be exchanged for a peaceful development. I can understand the mood of General Dou very well. In the past few months, because of the help of the Menes Empire, we have learned a lot of scientific knowledge and obtained many textbooks that we do not have. For us, we need peace more than any other country development time.”
"Do you think I don't know that we need time for peaceful development? Not only do we need it, but the Menes Empire also needs it. Since the end of the world, wars have been going on all over the world for two and a half years, and they have only begun to subside recently. Why is this? ? Because people can no longer afford to die. Why did Jiang Feng establish a country instead of unifying Yanhuang? Because his population can no longer support the entire Yanhuang, even if it is just the land east of Hedong, there are still many places that have not been developed. With the sharp decline in population , the territory no longer seems important. More people and less land has become a global problem. Peaceful development has become the general trend of the world. For example, there are six countries in Tianzhu Peninsula, but they have completely ceased fighting half a year ago. There haven’t been any wars in the country. Who doesn’t pay attention to development now? Don’t I know?”
It was really rare for Feng Du to say so many words in one breath. He seemed eager to express to General Dou and General Bing that he actually understood everything, but he was unwilling to apologize. This was a matter of principle.
After listening to Feng Du's words, General Bing finally understood Feng Du's plan.
General Bing half knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, I realize my mistake. I will go and arrange the defense of the city. General Bing, please come with me."
"Okay, go ahead." Feng Du replied.
General Bing stood up, helped General Dou, and they left the city head first.
Other generals, you look at me, I look at you, you don’t know what to do?
"You guys can go too. The garrison at the East City Gate is not enough yet. Let's first transfer a few more battalions from other areas."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the generals left, Feng Du looked at the sky again.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the time for dawn is getting closer and closer.
On the other side, in a corner, General Dou asked General Bing: "What did the king mean just now? He said so much, as if to express that he actually knows everything and understands everything. In this case, why doesn't he apologize? Shoot?" It’s just a video, is it so difficult to give a false apology?”
"He does understand, but after all, he is the king of the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods. If he apologizes to other countries easily, then where will the reputation of the Kingdom of Ghosts and Gods go?"
"What a country of ghosts and gods? Our total population is only about 100,000, so there is no need to lose face. Peaceful development is the most important thing. As long as there is no war, we can dare to vigorously encourage childbirth."
"I've said it all, he understands everything, but he is the king after all. Forget it, you won't understand."
"No, if the king can't lose his dignity, I will continue to advise that this battle cannot be fought. Even if we win, what will we have left?" General Dou said excitedly.
"You can't persuade me anymore. If you don't persuade me, the king may still apologize. But if you continue to persuade me and continue to anger the king, then he will simply not apologize and fight to the death with Xiao Yifeng." General Bing stopped Dou. General.
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, the king is just testing Xiao Yifeng's bottom line. Everyone knows that this battle cannot be fought. The king knows it, doesn't Xiao Yifeng know it? But they both want to save face. The king wants to see what Xiao Yifeng will do. To this extent, if it really comes to a last resort, the king will take a step back."
"Are you kidding? When the battle breaks out and people die, what's the use of apologizing at that time? Will the other party let it go?"
"Let's just trust the king's judgment. In fact, the king's heart is already very painful. The king's words and deeds represent the dignity of the country. On the one hand, it is the survival of the country, and on the other hand, it is the dignity of the country. We cannot make a choice for the king. This responsibility can only be shouldered by him."
"Oh, I understand." General Dou said helplessly.
