Chapter 503: Those who follow nature will prosper, and those who defy nature will decline.
After a brief moment of surprise, Yan Cheng gradually frowned and said:
"Chief, what do you mean?"
"Could it be that....."
"Are you not planning to send out troops?" When he said this, Yan Cheng's eyes were sharp and his face was extremely solemn.
"Yes, I have decided not to send any soldiers." Wu Li clenched his cane and looked directly into Yan Cheng's face and replied in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Cheng's face changed suddenly, and his blushing face became even redder due to drinking a lot of strong alcohol. He clenched his fists and asked sternly:
"Clan leader!"
"The enemy is at hand! But you said you won't send any soldiers to join the battle. I'm sorry I can't understand!"
Wu Li looked calm and said word by word: "We must not fight them in this battle."
"The consequences of fighting this battle are absolutely unbearable for us!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Cheng's anger rose in his heart, and he said angrily:
"Why can't we fight? We barbarians have been brave and good at fighting since ancient times, and we are never weaker than anyone!"
"And this time, the Jin family wants to join forces with us to fight Qin Ze!"
"What can he do to stop him?!" Yan Cheng raised a fist and spoke almost through gritted teeth.
Wu Li looked at Yan Cheng with an angry face but just shook his head: "If you can't fight, you can't fight."
"The Jin family of today is not the Jin family of the past, and the Qin Ze of today is not the Qin Ze of the past."
"If our barbarian tribe sends a large army to join the battle this time, I dare say that this will definitely be a near-death battle..."
"No... a narrow escape may be too conservative."
"It can be seen from the battle at Yanluoshan that as long as we lose, it will mean death and no life for anyone."
"So once a war starts, that's..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Cheng waved his hand suddenly and interrupted angrily:
"Clan leader! You are so ambitious that you are destroying your own dignity!"
"The battle at Yanluoshan was because Qin Ze took advantage of the terrain. Your Majesty and the others had never been to the northern border, so they lost. But this time is different!"
"We are very familiar with this place, and Qin Ze and his men don't have many troops. How could we do it again..."
"Do you believe it?!" Wu Li shouted suddenly.
"The Jin family who was driven to Nanze, can you believe what they say now?!",
Yan Cheng's face froze and he defended: "No, I don't believe it completely. I know that the arrogant Jin Pingwu will never tell the truth."
"The fact that they asked us to fight the rebels together means that something is fishy, but so what, sooner or later, sooner or later we will have to fight the rebels again."
"Compared with sending troops in the future, isn't this the best time?"
Wu Li shook his head repeatedly.
Yan Cheng became more and more angry and looked at the others: "Everyone, am I wrong?!"
"Do we really want to hide here and watch Qin Ze show off his power and dominate us barbarians?!"
Everyone said nothing, but they all looked at Wu Li.
Wu Li sighed softly and said:
"Yan Cheng, you still don't realize the plight of our barbarians."
"What's the situation?" Yan Cheng asked dissatisfied.
Wu Li rubbed his wrinkled forehead, his eyes dimmed:
"The last time Jin Fengluan sent people to our barbarian tribe, he asked us to rush to Beiliang to suppress the rebels who had just started fighting. He promised to marry Princess Yongning, the daughter of King Qing, to the king, and also promised to hand over Beiliang to us. Ming On the surface, this seems like a really good condition.”
"The king is not a womanizer, and he only seeks more rights for the barbarians. Even if there are objections from the tribe, he will go against everyone's opinions and even cut off his uncle's head to lead the army to fight."
"Is the king wrong?" Wu Li looked at the silent people in the room, and then fixed his gaze on Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng snorted coldly: "Does the clan leader think that the king is wrong?"
Wu Li shook his head: "I said your Majesty was right."
Yan Cheng was a little surprised when these words came out. He originally thought that Wu Li just wanted to bring out the last failure to convince the tribe, and belittling Wu Kui was naturally the best way to say it.
At this time, Wu Li continued to sigh:
"The king is young and powerful, and he has always taken the lead bravely on the battlefield. He is an ambitious and ambitious man. Among the eight tiger generals under his command, there are not only heroic heroes like dancing elephants, but also veterans who are accustomed to fighting. And They are all loyal and dedicated to the barbarians.”
"Although we were defeated at the hands of Qin Haotian many years ago, our barbarians have become stronger again over the years. However, the Jin family has improper governance and public resentment is boiling. Qin Haotian and those well-known generals with different surnames may be punished. Or be demoted, Daqian's military strength is no longer what it used to be, which led Qin Ze to take the opportunity to rebel. "
"The resumption of troubled times is the best time for our barbarian tribe."
"It is really not his fault that the king decided to go and fight for this world. On the contrary, as the leader of the barbarians, he should also have this courage and heroism."
Wu Li looked at the strand of white hair hanging down from his temples and sighed again:
"If I were his age, I would definitely go on the expedition together. Just to fight for a grand hegemony, even if it meant dying on the battlefield, I would be willing to do so."
"It's just that our ambitions are declining year by year, and our gray hairs are getting more and more. It's not up to anyone at all, alas."
Yan Cheng's face gradually softened as he spoke, and he sighed: "Clan Chief, in this case, we should fulfill the king's legacy."
Wu Li walked to Yan Cheng's side, shook his head and said:
"I have never thought that the king is wrong, and I have always respected his ambition."
"But, people often say..."
“Those who follow nature will prosper, and those who go against nature will decline.”
"In the year when the king was established, he led the tiger and wolf troops to Beiliang. At that time, the troops led by Qin Ze were just gaining momentum. The decision we made at that time must be in accordance with nature."
"But who could have imagined that we would lose completely in Yanluo Mountain like this. Hundreds of thousands of people died, and they were all the most elite soldiers of our barbarians. Even the king..."
"He also died. That was when he was in high spirits." Speaking of the emotional part, Wu Li's eyes flickered, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Everyone in the room lowered their heads with grief-stricken expressions on their faces. Yan Cheng pursed his lips and pinched his fingertips into his palms.
Wu Li continued:
"It's not our fault that we send troops to conquer the world."
"What's wrong is that none of us thought that King Zhenbei's troops were so powerful that we lost the ability to compete for the world early on."
"A layer of stone stirred up a thousand waves. Under the waves, those who fought the waves thought they were following destiny. But when the waves receded, everything became clear."
He raised his head, looked at Yan Cheng with a downcast face and said:
"The Jin family is not as strong as they say. They are in decline now. Otherwise, why would they lower their profile and come to our barbarians to ask for troops."
"The promises they made to us are just flowers in the well, we can't see them but we can't even touch them."
"What's more, they are just lying to us."
"Qin Ze defeated Beiku Grassland, and he also repulsed Tuyuan Kingdom. This enemy who killed hundreds of thousands of our barbarians, now it seems that he is the huge wave that will wash away everything."
"Do you still think that we can try our best to achieve a grand hegemony like last time? If you want to go, that would be a big mistake."
