Chapter 927 Retreat

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Liu Yong actually chose the first item. This was beyond Du Wu's expectations. He remembered that Liu Yong had advised him back then. Even if someone like Chu Jun could not recruit his subordinates, he must not offend them. Even if he could not become friends, he must not become enemies. Even before implementing the storm plan, Liu Yong had advised himself to think twice. But why did he choose to face Chu Jun head-on instead?

"What's the reason?" Du Wu asked unnaturally.

To be honest, she was a little afraid now. Back then, Chu Jun was able to kill him in the army camp of the Ice Accumulation King, and he was even able to kill the Thunder Jade King under the watchful eyes of many experts. He even killed Du Zhenwei in the moon of the Du Clan. It was evident how terrifying this fellow was. Furthermore, he had returned safely under the Ghost King. Du Wu even suspected that even the Ghost King had been killed by him. If Chu Jun was able to accomplish this, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be able to take his own life in the 100,000 Chongming Military Formation.

Liu Yong was a smart person. If he had a choice, he would naturally not be willing to make an enemy of Chu Jun. However, things had already reached this point. Obviously, there was no turning back. If the storm plan was implemented, there was still room for manoeuvre between the Chu Army and the Chongming Army, but now … it was impossible.

"Taking advantage of the fact that Chu Jun is currently exhausted, our Chongming Army has a high chance of winning!" Liu Yong gave an ordinary reason. Actually, Liu Yong wanted to say that when the ghost race retreated, the Chongming army had a better chance of winning. However, the time had passed and it would be useless to say more. At that time, he had already persuaded Du Wu to attack, and Du Wu's hesitation had caused this rare fighter jet to miss out.

"Liu Qing's words are wrong. The Chu army has the might to win. Their morale is Sheng Ji. In addition, the combined strength of the South Suppressing Banner and the East Imperial Banner is no less than 150,000. Their strength is still higher than the 120 thousand Chongming Army in Tan Wei City. At this moment, the final battle with the Chu army will undoubtedly use eggs to strike stones. Can't the Great Policy Qing see clearly?" Zhao Gai objected.

Dao Zheng Ming had once evaluated Zhao Gai, saying that although he was a little clever, he was selfish and narrow-minded, inferior to Fang Xuan Ming. Liu Yong had always been firmly seated in the position of Grand Secretary of the Heavenly Policy Palace. He was deeply trusted by Du Wu. Zhao Gai had long been unconvinced. If the storm plan failed, it would naturally be Zhao Gai. Now was the best time to attack Liu Yong. He naturally would not let go of it. Even if there was no reason, he would still have to make up some reasons to oppose it. Furthermore, the reasons were quite good.

"Can't Great Policy Qing see clearly?"

Zhao Gai's last sentence was Heart Execution. On the surface, he had a tone of discussion, but in reality, it was Heart Execution. He had also sinned against Liu Yong. The subtext was, with your wisdom, how could you not see clearly? If you could see clearly, why would you urge the Palace Lord to use eggs to strike stones? You're upset, aren't you?

Du Wu couldn't help but glance at Liu Yong strangely. It wasn't that she really suspected Liu Yong's defection, but there was a precedent for Dao Zheng Ming. At this moment, Zhao Gai's innuendo made her a little worried, not to mention that Zhao Gai's reasons were more solid and more in line with her thoughts.

Although Liu Yong was magnanimous, he actually looked down on Zhao Gai in his heart, so he was ignored by Zhao Gai's innuendo. Du Wu's strange gaze made him suddenly feel cold, so he simply shut up.

Seeing that Liu Yong did not refute, Du Wu frowned imperceptibly and turned to ask for other people's opinions. The people present were all human geniuses. They noticed that the palace hall master, who had always been obedient to Liu Yong, did not seem to agree with them this time. Thus, some smooth fellows said that returning to Chongming Island was the best solution. Especially those who wore the same pair of trousers as Zhao Gai, their saliva splashed everywhere. They were only trying to persuade Du Wu to choose the second one.

"This old man feels that sending troops to fight the Chu army at this time is the right choice!" Hou Xin said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, both sides of the dispute stopped. The Golden Battle General Hou Xin's words carried a lot of weight, so everyone had to give him some face.

Hou Xin glanced at them majestically and continued, "Chu Jun is tired after a long battle. This is the best time to defeat them. If they recover, it will be even harder to deal with them."

Hou Xin was a golden general, so he naturally had his pride and confidence. In his opinion, 120,000 versus 150,000 was no different. Whether it was Yang Yun or Ding Qing in the Chu army, they were not his opponents.

Zhao Gai carefully said, "General Hou, I know that your nephew's matter has dealt you a great blow, but we must take the overall situation into consideration and not act impulsively!"

Hou Xin's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Bullshit! This old man's action is just taking the overall situation into account. I wonder how much blood and sweat our Chongming army soldiers have paid to occupy Star Continent. How can I easily hand over my hands to others? Facing hundreds of thousands of ghost army without even frowning, how can I be afraid of his Chu army? If the Chongming army retreats without a fight, it would be ridiculous!"

Hou Xin was called Stone Buddha precisely because he was calm and immovable. Now, Zhao Gai actually said in public that he was impulsive. How could he not be angry? In terms of military affairs, Zhao Gai's qualifications were not even worthy to lift his shoes for him.

Hou Xin's prestige in the army was extremely high. Even when Du Zhenwei was alive, he still had three points of respect for him. At this moment, he glared at him angrily, his divine might awe-inspiring. Zhao Gai immediately withered his vegetables and repeatedly apologized, "General Hou, please calm down. This subordinate made a mistake!"

Hou Xin snorted coldly. He was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He looked at Du Wu and said in a deep voice, "Under the main hall of the palace, the lives of our Chongming army soldiers have been exchanged for the lives of the vast Star Continent. How could he hand it over to Chu Jun'er? Isn't this causing the hearts of the brothers below to turn cold?"

Naturally, Du Wu was unwilling to give in to Jiang Shan who had worked so hard to defeat him. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "This matter should be reconsidered by this palace!"

Liu Yong sighed and lowered his head to drink tea silently. Zhao Gai's eyes flashed.

Yudong Flag and Zhennan Banner's hundreds of thousands of troops entered Big Dipper City and immediately rebuilt the city's defenses.

Within the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang Yun said with admiration, "As Dao Military Counselor had expected, Du Wu did not send her troops to intercept us halfway."

Before Yu'er Island returned, everyone was a little worried that Du Ball would intercept them halfway, or even take Big Dipper City, but Dao Zheng Ming firmly said that Du Wu would not. Now, it was as Dao Zheng Ming had said.

Lu Xun asked curiously, "How did the Dao Military Advisor know that Du Wu wouldn't?"

"Actually, the best time for the Chongming army to attack is when we defeat the ghost army. Since Du Wu has missed this opportunity, it is unlikely that she will send more troops."

Li Xiangjun smiled charmingly and said, "With Liu Yong's scheming, how can he not see the best time? It seems that Du Wu did not accept his suggestion!"

Dao Zheng Ming glanced at Li Xiangjun with praise and smiled, "Actually, it's also a good time for us to return!"

"But Du Wu still hasn't sent any troops. It can be seen that she is no longer so obedient to Liu Yong." Li Xiangjun answered.

Chu Jun raised his eyebrows slightly. The plot of the Chongming Army this time was truly terrifying, Hearing Ding Qing say that both the Great Ming Manor and Jun Shan had been attacked, it could be seen that Du Wu had gone to great lengths to destroy him and had gone to great lengths to kill him. And this grand scheme was definitely Liu Yong's hand. If this person was not removed, it would be extremely harmful. No one knew what strategy he would come up with next.

"If that's really the case, then it's a good thing!" Ding Qing continued Li Xiangjun's words, "Du Wu is supported by Hou Xin and Liu Yong. It will not be easy to defeat her. If she no longer trusts Liu Yong, it will undoubtedly be self-destructing."

Although they were enemies, everyone present acknowledged Liu Yong's intelligence.

"Report!" Yun Sun rushed in from the outside and swept his sharp eyes over all the "big shots" present before saluting Chu Jun with a slap.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Little Chicken Yun, have you found the treasure? Your big white teeth are exposed!"

Yun Sun gritted his teeth and chuckled, "Returning to Lord Chu is even more comfortable than picking up a treasure!"

Zhou Haitao's expression darkened as he scolded, "Reporting seriously!"

Yun Sun hurriedly said in a solemn voice, "The Chongming Army of Tan Tai City has retreated from the city. Furthermore, the Chongming Army of the nearby city square has also reunited with Du Wu's main force."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment. There was such a good thing. Du Wu gathered her troops and retreated, taking the initiative to let go of the occupied city square.

"Hmph, now I know I'm scared!" Ding Ding smugly wiped his nose.

"Keep an eye on the main force of the Chongming Army and report back at any time!" Zhou Haitao waved his hand.

"Order!" Yun Xiaokun laughed and ran out.

Chu Jun glanced at the crowd and said, "What is Du Wu planning? With her personality, it is impossible for her to spit it out so easily."

"Could it be … that you want to withdraw from Chongming Island?" Zhong Hua interrupted.

Everyone immediately looked at each other. This seemed impossible. Du Wu had such courage to give up the entire Star Continent?

The night was as dark as ink. The light of the Heavenly Calculation City's defensive array illuminated the nearby night sky as bright as day. Outside the east gate was a continuous Chongming military tent. In front of the main tent was a large flag embroidered with the word "Sun". Sun Mou, one of the Four Great Diamonds, led thirty thousand elites of the Chongming Army to force the main force of the Star-Blue Army into hiding in Heavenly Calculation City.

Tonight seemed a little unusual. The Chongming Army in the camp did not rest and sleep. They were all waiting for their turn. In the main tent, Sun Mou sat down solemnly. Two rows of QinBing were standing on both sides. The atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, a QinBing rushed in from outside the tent and shouted, "General, Palace Master, order!"

Sun Mou hurriedly took a look at the Gui slip presented by QinBing and immediately sank his face. He knitted his eyebrows and said, "Order everyone to prepare to retreat. No noise, no tents to be demolished, and anyone who violates them to be slashed!"

The QinBing sucked in a breath of cold air. Wasn't it going to launch a surprise attack on Heavenly Calculation City with the help of the internal forces tonight to eliminate the Star-Blue Army? Why did he suddenly retreat? Furthermore, he had to retreat sneakily.

Seeing Sun Mou's cold expression, everyone didn't dare to ask any further and hurriedly went down to pass the order.

The thirty thousand Chongming Army left the tent quietly. Ten people in a group and a hundred people in a group secretly retreated completely, leaving only a continuous empty camp.

Within Heavenly Calculation City, a group of black-clothed men were quietly sneaking towards the City Guard Division, where the City Protection Formation activation switch was located.
