The young girl suddenly turned her head and looked at Tie Long Cheng. Her eyes were as sharp as a sword and as cold as ice. However, as he pondered, the sharpness in his eyes gradually disappeared.
"Eight years ago, His Majesty was hit by a poison arrow and his life was at stake. He was too young; he was only ten years old at that time. Although he was intelligent, he could not convince the public. The entire Iron Cloud Nation was on the verge of collapse. All the ministers had their own thoughts. The situation was very dangerous. "
Tie Long Cheng slowly said. Moreover, Chu Yang had a feeling that he seemed to be explaining.
Chu Yang thought that since it was the first time they met, he did not have the qualifications to explain. Even if he did, there was no need for him to explain. He could not help but feel suspicious.
Tie Long Cheng continued, "Then, on the battlefield, Diwu Qing Rou suddenly made a few unnecessary and incomprehensible mistakes. He buried a few experienced generals of Great Zhao on the battlefield. Those few battles were unnecessary losses for the Great Zhao Empire, and they were also losses that were impossible to occur! "
"Because at that time, as long as they attacked with all their forces, Iron Cloud would have been destroyed within half a year! Iron Cloud would have been powerless to reverse the situation! But at that critical moment, a few generals suddenly rushed into a death trap because of the wrong information. Allowing us to easily destroy them! Those three decisive battles gave Iron Cloud a chance to take a breather! "
"After that, when we gathered together and looked back at those three battles, we found that we did not make any effort to make them fall into a trap! In other words, they were seeking their own deaths. Such a fact has left us inexplicably astonished. "
"After that, Great Zhao reorganized their army for a month. And during that one month, there was no need to rest and reorganize. It was as if they were intentionally giving us time to breathe and think … "Tie Long Cheng took a deep breath and said," Until we analyzed the intelligence of Great Zhao several times, we discovered that this was Diwu Qing Rou's plot! "
"But this scheme forced us to cooperate! We could not help but be led by the nose. "
"Diwu Qing Rou needs a long and drawn-out war. He needs to continuously accumulate military exploits, eliminate dissidents, promote his confidants, and control the entire military and government in his own hands. At that time, our Iron Cloud needed more time than Diwu Qing Rou. We needed more time to consolidate our domestic military and government into a fist. Because at that time, it was already a crisis, and life and death were on the line! "
"If we do not cooperate, Iron Cloud Nation will be destroyed within a few months. But even if we do not cooperate, Diwu Qing Rou still has other opportunities. For example, the Limitless Nation! Therefore, we have no choice. Even if this is a disgrace, I can only pinch my nose and swallow it! "
Tie Long Cheng let out a long sigh.
Although he didn't continue to speak, Chu Yang and the others already understood.
At that time, the commanders of the two countries, under this tacit understanding, jointly carried out their own methods of eliminating dissidents and unifying the country! You fight for your military exploits, I fight for my territory, you eliminate your dissidents, I kill my enemies!
In short, the goal of the two was the same: to consolidate the power of the entire country into a fist that they could use all of their strength!
If Diwu Qing Rou fought a decisive battle at that time, he would naturally win. This was a matter of certainty. But after the victory, he would have to face the fear of the emperor and the suspicion of the ministers. At that time, his foundation was not stable. The worst result would be dying without a burial place! Even if he could save his life and maintain a certain status, he would forever lose the opportunity to reach the peak of power.
With Diwu Qing Rou's wild ambition, how could he give up under such a favorable situation?
Therefore, he could not.
At that time, the entire Iron Cloud Nation was in the hands of Tie Long Cheng. In a precarious situation, he did not even need the enemy to attack him to collapse! Tie Long Cheng naturally did not want to fight a decisive battle.
The commanders of the two countries did not even meet each other. But from thousands of miles away, they carried out a cooperation that reached a terrifying level of tacit understanding! The two restricted each other and weighed each other. Today, you win one battle and kill my enemy; tomorrow, I win one battle and remove your obstacles …
During that time, the millions of soldiers fighting between the two countries became a game controlled by two people behind the scenes! On one side, millions of dead souls created Diwu Qing Rou's unparalleled reputation. On the other side, millions of dead souls condensed into Iron Cloud!
However … this game was to buy time and fight for qualifications. But for the two sides, the starting point was completely different.
Diwu Qing Rou was doing this for Great Zhao and for himself. However, Tie Long Cheng had managed to break Iron Cloud apart in this humiliating and continuous campaign. Then, he had reformed Iron Cloud from a pile of loose sand. Now, he had become a mighty city that had the strength to fight a war!
If it were not for Tie Long Cheng and Diwu Qing Rou's precise cooperation, Iron Cloud Nation would not have lasted until now. Not to mention waiting for Bu Tian Tai to regain power and compete with Diwu Qing Rou.
All these changes were really unimaginable. Moreover, at every step, the commanders of the two sides must give each other a hint that only the other side could understand. Then, each side could take what they wanted. But such hints could not be seen by others.
In this situation, the amount of brain power needed was simply unimaginable! Chu Yang could not figure out how Tie Long Cheng was able to do this.
Under Diwu Qing Rou's leadership, he cooperated but did not allow the other side to achieve their goal. Moreover, under the other side's inescapable net, he gradually built up Iron Cloud's resistance. Until now, the border had become an impenetrable wall!
This person's calculation ability, leadership ability, control ability, military ability, and even political ability were not as good as Diwu Qing Rou's. But the difference was very small!
The two were mortal enemies, but in the midst of fighting each other, each managed their own rear, and it was flawless. These two people were really terrifying!
However, there was one thing that made Chu Yang's heart turn cold. [Tie Long Cheng and Diwu Qing Rou's military expedition is tantamount to throwing away millions of soldiers on both sides as if they are lifeless chess pieces. However, those are millions of lives!]
There was never a moment like this where Chu Yang understood the meaning of the phrase "a general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand"!
"Do you regret it?" The one who said this was Gu Du Xing. His two cold eyes looked at Tie Long Cheng, "Millions of soldiers were buried on the battlefield under the cooperation of the two commanders. Not even their bones were left!"
