#221 - Besiege Wei to save Zhao, besiege a point and attack its reinforcements

After spending three days and two nights, Davis and his companions finally returned to Star Luo City in the middle of the night.

However, Star Luo City, which should have been under curfew, was brightly lit at this moment, surprising Davis and the others.

Moreover, outside Star Luo City, the Star Luo Royal Knights, the White Tiger Legion, the Fierce Tiger Legion, the Gale Legion, the Battle Tiger Legion, and other combat units were all deployed, lined up in neat formations, with a tendency to fight to the death with the enemy.

Something's wrong!

This was the only thought in the minds of Davis and his companions at this moment. Davis and Dai Tianxing exchanged glances, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes, and hurriedly flew towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Sure enough, the Star Luo Imperial Palace was now brightly lit, and even intense arguments could be heard from within the palace!

"The Clear Sky School is our ally! I believe we should send troops to rescue the Clear Sky School!"

"I second that."

"Me too!"

"We can't fight! We can't fight! The Spirit Hall has dispatched eight Titled Douluos and ten thousand Soul Masters! Our Star Luo can't afford it."

"I believe we should sever ties with the Clear Sky School, observe the situation, or negotiate with the Spirit Hall!"

"I second that."

"Me too!"

"I think..."

"Alright, alright! Stop arguing for now. Po Jun, tell me, what exactly happened?" Dai Tianxing had already appeared in the palace at this moment.

The entire court of civil and military officials was gathered in the palace, with the civil officials and military generals arguing endlessly, making Dai Po Jun feel annoyed and overwhelmed.

Davis glanced around, seeing that all the famous and influential figures of the Star Luo Empire were present, including ministers, generals, Lie Tianhu, Lin Qiuyang, Yang Wudi, Bai He, Niu Gao, and even Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Tianyu were among them!

This made him a little puzzled as to what exactly had happened to gather so many people together.

Seeing Dai Tianxing and his companions arrive, the entire court of civil and military officials knelt down and greeted with cupped hands, "Greetings, Supreme Emperor! Greetings, Empress Dowager! Greetings, Crown Prince!"

"Alright, everyone, please rise. Po Jun, what exactly happened? I just heard the words Spirit Hall and Clear Sky School. What happened to them?"

"Father, it's like this..." Dai Po Jun, looking exhausted, recounted the events of "the Spirit Hall attacking the Clear Sky School, and Tang Yuehua sending people to the Star Luo Empire for help."

After listening, Dai Tianxing also frowned, especially after learning that the eight elders of the Elder Hall had all come out, he felt a chill down his spine.

Davis, on the other hand, revealed a hint of understanding. After learning that Tang Hao had hammered to death hundreds of Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall, he realized that things were not that simple.

After all, with the strength of people like Bibi Dong, it was impossible that they couldn't even stop a seriously injured Tang Hao. Now it seemed that Bibi Dong had obviously planned to shift the conflict to the Clear Sky School at that time.

And letting Tang Hao take action was only to make the Spirit Hall's dispatch of troops to attack the Clear Sky School more justified.

"Sister Yuehua..."

After learning that Tang Yuehua had also returned to the Clear Sky School to participate in the battle, Davis couldn't help but feel a little worried. If something happened to Tang Yuehua, he would be very sad.

"Now everyone is arguing about whether to send troops to rescue the Clear Sky School!"

There were now three problems facing Dai Po Jun: to save, or not to save? If he chose to send troops to aid the Clear Sky School, how should he go about it?

After a pause, Davis continued, "The Spirit Hall's attack on the Clear Sky School is ostensibly to avenge the deceased Soul Masters, but in reality, it is a feint, with Bibi Dong's true goal being to attack the Star Luo Empire.

Don't forget that when we went to Spirit Hall City, Bibi Dong sent Ju Douluo, Gui Douluo, and others to attack us, and Bibi Dong also knows that we and the Clear Sky School are in a defensive alliance.

Therefore, I believe that her true intention is to use the attack on the Clear Sky School to deal with the Star Luo Empire.

If we don't send troops, the alliance between the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky School will fall apart, and other forces will not be able to ally with us after seeing our attitude.

In this way, we will be isolated by the entire Douluo Continent. Even if we can escape the Spirit Hall's clutches this time, Bibi Dong's wolfish ambitions and treacherous heart are already obvious.

How can we allow others to snore beside our bed? If we don't help this time, and the Spirit Hall attacks us next time, we will be alone and helpless."

Dai Po Jun nodded slightly. Although he didn't understand what "a feint" meant, he felt that what he said made some sense.

"Continue."

"But if we send troops to aid the Clear Sky School, the situation will be completely different. Although this will give the Spirit Hall an excuse to deal with us, it will also show our attitude to the Soul Master forces throughout the Douluo Continent.

Especially the Clear Sky School, after seeing us send troops to aid them, they will only be more determined to ally with us in the future. If we have trouble in the future, the Clear Sky School will also come to our rescue.

And after seeing our attitude, more forces will be willing to ally with us in the future, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Therefore, I have decided that we should send troops to aid the Clear Sky School!"

After listening to Davis's heartfelt words, Dai Po Jun also nodded slightly and made up his mind!

"Alright, I have decided to send troops to attack the Spirit Hall and aid the Clear Sky School! From now on, I don't want to hear another word about seeking peace with the Spirit Hall. General Lie Tianhu!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"You were also in favor of aiding the Clear Sky School just now. Tell me, how should we aid the Clear Sky School?"

Lie Tianhu took out a map of the border between the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall City and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Soul Masters of Spirit Hall City have all gone to attack the Clear Sky School, the defenses of Spirit Hall City are bound to be empty. I believe we should lead a large army to strike directly at the Yellow Dragon, directly attacking Spirit Hall City!

The Soul Masters attacking the Clear Sky School on the front line will definitely withdraw from the Clear Sky School and defend Spirit Hall City when they learn of this, thus resolving the crisis of the Clear Sky School!"

Dai Po Jun nodded slightly upon hearing this. This was precisely the strategy of relieving the state of Zhao by besieging Wei. If he sent troops directly to the Clear Sky School, the journey would be too far and would delay time.

At this moment, Davis suddenly said, "Uncle Tianhu is indeed proficient in military strategy, but I would like to make some slight modifications."

"Oh?" Lie Tianhu raised an eyebrow, "I wonder what brilliant ideas the Crown Prince has?"

"I believe that Uncle Tianhu should send troops to attack Spirit Hall City, and at the same time, divide out 50,000 troops, led by me, to go to the Heaven Dou Empire.

After arriving at the Heaven Dou Empire, we will divide our troops into two groups. One group will pretend to go and rescue the Clear Sky School, while the other group will ambush the Spirit Hall troops on the inevitable road back to Spirit Hall City.

The Spirit Hall troops will inevitably be exhausted and tired during their retreat. At that time, we will be able to wait at our leisure. When the Spirit Hall troops pass by, we will suddenly attack and catch them off guard!

This plan is called: Waiting for the Rabbit by the Tree, Besieging the Point and Striking the Reinforcements!"
