In the Anyang City Lord's Mansion, Li Yuanming hummed the latest song and leisurely checked the relevant information, including the general livelihood and the military affairs that he was directly responsible for.
People's livelihood is related to national stability, and national stability is related to war. As a qualified counselor, Li Yuanming knew what he should do.
However, a new reconnaissance message caught Li Yuanming's attention—the demon tribe had entered a strategic defensive phase on the battlefield with the Shang Kingdom, and had begun to adopt a passive tactic of "fighting while retreating, exchanging space for time."
However, information from high-altitude stealth aircraft reconnaissance showed that the demons were beginning to gather in the west and northwest.
"Are we going to attack the countries in the north and west?" Li Yuanming laughed when he saw the news. "That's what we want! The Shang Kingdom values credibility. Considering the national characteristics and development path of the Shang Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom cannot take the initiative to attack others. But what if we let the demon tribe wreak havoc there?"
Beside him, Xu Ren looked up at Li Yuanming and said, "Don't point this out. We are just fighting the demon tribe."
Li Yuanming glanced at Xu Ren and chuckled, "Old Xu, I didn't expect you are not a pure person either."
In fact, this is a typical strategy of "driving the wolf to swallow the tiger".
Xu Ren chuckled and continued to work. After a while, he said, "We need to continue burning the demon tribe's territory and try to drive the demon tribe to the west and northwest. In the future, the current demon tribe's territory will become the new territory of the Shang Kingdom. So, we need to drive out and clean up all the demon tribe. By the way, where is the Jade Rabbit tribe?"
An officer nearby said, "We have passed the Wanchuanling demon tribe's territory and are about to enter the Wuyashan demon tribe's territory."
Xu Ren thought for a moment and said, "Notify the escort to go directly through the Wuya Mountain and enter the Shang Kingdom."
After hearing this, Li Yuanming suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you enter Feng State, enter our human territory, and then pass through Zheng State and Tang State to come here?"
"Why ask when you already know the answer?" Xu Ren said casually and continued to get busy.
Li Yuanming smiled but said nothing. If the Jade Rabbit Clan came from the Wuya Mountain demon clan territory, the journey would be longer and more dangerous, and the casualties would be even more severe; because if they went from here, the Jade Rabbit Clan would be a "bait" to lure more demons to come.
A large number of demons would definitely kill the Jade Rabbit Clan, but the Shang Kingdom could also use this opportunity to eliminate more demons. Anyway, it was all internal consumption among the demons, and the Shang Kingdom was happy to watch the fun.
As for whether the Jade Rabbit Clan would suffer heavy casualties, Li Yuanming and Xu Ren both agreed that the more deaths, the better. Leaving behind a few "samples" for propaganda purposes would be enough. There was no justice or benevolence in politics between different countries and groups.
After reorganizing the strategic plan, Xu Ren and Li Yuanming immediately issued a series of orders, and the Shang Kingdom's war machine began to accelerate again.
A large number of troops supported by other countries began to enter the Shang Kingdom for training - life and death training on the battlefield. However, under such a cruel system, a large number of people also stood out. The Shang Kingdom would immediately send these people back to their original countries.
Is this a kind gesture? Let me tell you quietly, the one who did this is Lord Li Yuanming!
