"Big Brother, I agree to send more troops to Sun Moon City but you must not send more troops. If you send all your troops to Sun Moon City, what will happen to Mount Wu Lai? What if the Underworld really wants to take this opportunity to attack Mount Wu Lai?
Without enough troops, how can we resist the Underworld? " When Third Brother Wu Chang heard Wu Jiang's words, he had already agreed with him. However, when he heard Wu Jiang say that he wanted to send more troops to Sun Moon City, he was a little unhappy.
Even though Sun Moon City was an important city, Mount Wu Lai was their true base. If they lost their base for the sake of Sun Moon City, what was the point of their existence? What was the difference between them and rootless duckweed?
"I'm only saying that we will send more troops to Sun Moon City. I'm not saying that we will send all our troops to Sun Moon City. Furthermore, we must station enough troops at the key entrances. Once the Underworld moves towards Mount Wu Lai, we will be the first to know. How can we let the Underworld attack Mount Wu Lai? "Wu Jiang said.
"How many troops are you planning to send to Sun Moon City?" Second Brother Wu Heng, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up.
"We need at least another two hundred thousand, from our hands!" Wu Jiang said.
"Two hundred thousand? Isn't that a little too much? We need to send at least sixty thousand troops! "Wu Chang was clearly unhappy.
They each had about two hundred thousand troops in their hands. Now that they had sent sixty thousand, they would only be left with a few hundred thousand. This made him feel very insecure.
"Each of you will send sixty-five thousand and I will send seventy thousand. Mount Wu Lai has about seven hundred thousand troops. Even if we take away two hundred thousand, we still have five hundred thousand. Do you think that we can't protect Mount Wu Lai with five hundred thousand troops?" Wu Jiang asked with a dark expression.
He was unhappy with Third Brother's constant questioning and uncooperative attitude. He was doing this for the future of Mount Wu Lai, not for himself.
Mount Wu Lai's development was slow while the Underworld's power was growing. This was not a good thing for Mount Wu Lai. The improvement of others was equivalent to the weakening of their own.
Now that they had the opportunity to obtain so many resources and had the hope of strengthening themselves, it was also a form of weakening for the Underworld.
Their Mount Wu Lai, together with the 70,000 soldiers they had sent to Sun Moon City, only had about 800,000 soldiers. It was impossible for them to face the Underworld alone. Therefore, if the Underworld wanted to attack Mount Wu Lai, they would need to seek help from Yin Tong Mountain.
Similarly, Yin Tong Mountain's power was not much stronger than Mount Magus's. Therefore, if the Underworld wanted to attack Yin Tong Mountain, Mount Magus would have to provide support.
The two of them were bound together for good or ill!
However, now that they have occupied Lunar City, if their Mount Wu Lai was able to obtain the resources in this area, their strength would definitely increase greatly. When the time comes, when the Underworld attacks Mount Wu Lai, they might not even need to seek help from the Yin Tong Mountain.
Faced with such an opportunity, how could he be willing to miss it? Now that they had sent two hundred thousand soldiers to Lunar City, they would only profit.
Even the Underworld would not have expected the twenty-seven great armies to be stationed in Lunar City. When the time comes, even if the Underworld were to send troops over, they would not be able to send that many. He wanted to make the Underworld suffer another huge loss.
He wanted them to understand that Mount Wu Lai had risen to power and that the Underworld could no longer knead them as they pleased!
"Since Big Brother has said so, I naturally have no objections. However, I hope that everyone doesn't rush to send more troops to Lunar City!" Second Brother Wu Heng spoke again.
"Why is that?" Wu Jiang asked.
Lunar City has only just fallen into our hands and we don't know how the Underworld will react. However, I'm certain that the Underworld will not be satisfied with Lunar City falling into Mount Wu Lai's hands.
Therefore, the Underworld will certainly send troops to Lunar City to recapture the city.
If we send more troops to Lunar City now and the Underworld finds out, won't they also increase their forces to fight for Lunar City?
Mount Wu Lai doesn't have the upper hand when it comes to fighting against the Underworld! Our only option is to let the Underworld send their troops to Lunar City first before we send our troops. This way, not only will we be able to preserve our military strength, we can also attack the Underworld's army from both inside and outside with the city's garrison. It's killing two birds with one stone! "
"Attack from both inside and outside? Mm, that's a good idea! Alright, I agree with this idea. Let's not send our troops for the time being and investigate the Underworld's situation first! " Originally, Wu Jiang thought that Wu Heng was going to pour cold water on him again. However, when he heard Wu Heng's suggestion, he was very happy and agreed without any hesitation.
Before the war started, it was very important to preserve their strength. Only by preventing the enemy from knowing the actual situation would they be able to achieve the greatest results with the smallest price.
Wu Chang stood at the side. When he saw that his second brother had no objections, he didn't say anything.
Since they had decided not to send their troops for the time being, Wu Jiang told the news to the messengers from Lunar City. However, he also made it very clear that if they had any movements from the Underworld, they must report it to them immediately so that they could arrange when to send out their troops.
Because Mount Wu Lai wasn't too far away from Lunar City, it only took about two days for the messengers to return to Lunar City.
However, the moment these messengers appeared outside Lunar City, they were discovered by Cheng Yu and the others.
"Junior Brother Yu, aren't those the messengers that went to Mount Wu Lai two days ago? Now that they have returned, why didn't they see any reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai? Could it be that Mount Wu Lai isn't going to send reinforcements to Lunar City? " Xinhai saw that there were only a few messengers that had left the city previously and only a few messengers had returned. Immediately, he asked doubtfully.
"How would I know? According to logic, Lunar City was so important. Regardless of Hades or Mount Wu Lai, they wouldn't give up on Lunar City so easily. Furthermore, it's still too early to make a decision. After all, these are just messengers. Perhaps, they had returned to Lunar City first and their reinforcements might be right behind them! "Cheng Yu shook his head.
From their subjective judgment, Mount Wu Lai should be sending reinforcements to Lunar City. However, he didn't understand Wu Jiang's character. Perhaps, their guts and ambitions weren't that big. Therefore, even if they didn't send reinforcements to Lunar City, it was still very possible.
Of course, if Mount Wu Lai didn't send reinforcements to Lunar City, this wasn't something he wished to see. Therefore, when he saw these messengers, he was somewhat worried.
If Mount Wu Lai didn't send reinforcements, the 70,000 Mount Wu Lai army wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Even if they managed to repel Hades this time, what about the next time?
