Chapter 684 Murong Longcheng Yanziwu
"Brother Yuwen is right. Our Xianbei Alliance is now strong and powerful, and we have the support of Shamanism and Tantric Buddhism. What do we have to fear?"
"Although the Jurchen alliance is powerful, as long as we have the right strategy, we will be able to defeat it."
Murong Jun also agreed, saying that the Murong Xianbei clan also built up a lot of power in secret.
Even not long ago, after Murong Longcheng, who went south to the Central Plains to learn skills, returned to the Murong Xianbei clan, the internal forces under their command made rapid progress under the leadership of Murong Longcheng.
"It is good that the two Khans are aware of this. Since the Xianbei Alliance is now fully prepared, they should formulate a battle plan as soon as possible."
"Although the Jurchen Alliance has suffered a heavy blow, their foundation is still there. If they are given enough time to mobilize the forces of various small tribes, I'm afraid the pressure on the two of them will not be small either."
Jia Xu nodded slightly. He was just giving a simple reminder.
From his perspective, both Yuwen Yong of the Yuwen family and the three Murong brothers of the Murong family can be regarded as local geniuses.
Since they already knew what was going on and had even made preparations in advance, there was naturally no need for him to pay any more attention to it.
He has already said it, whether others listen or not is their business. Jia Xu has never been a nanny-like strategist.
He is only responsible for offering advice, and the final outcome depends entirely on the fate of others.
If you are willing to follow his advice completely, at least you can save your life.
If you don't want to listen to him, then so be it, as long as Jia Xu himself is not implicated.
"Mr. Jia is absolutely right. We must seize the time and defeat the Jurchen alliance in one fell swoop."
"Otherwise, if we are dragged into a war of attrition by the Jurchen Alliance, we will probably be the first to collapse."
Yuwen Yong listened to Jia Xu's light reminder and his expression became serious.
There is no way, these heroes rise up too late.
After they were born, the space and population resources on the grassland had already been divided up by the three major alliances.
After gathering many small tribes on the prairie, the population of the three major alliances was simply overwhelming for the current Xianbei alliance.
Fortunately, they had just conquered these small tribes not long ago. Once they recruited a large number of troops from these small tribes, they might accidentally cause a mutiny.
Otherwise, once these small tribes are recruited, each tribe will contribute a little bit of troops.
The number of soldiers that the Jurchen Alliance could mobilize was almost several times or even more than ten times that of the Xianbei Alliance!
Therefore, they must seize time in this battle between the Xianbei Alliance and the Jurchen Alliance.
Once the Jurchen Alliance has digested these small tribes, they will have no ability to resist due to the sheer overwhelming advantage in military strength.
Unless Murong Chui, the saint-level commander, suddenly explodes and fights several heaven-defying battles in succession in which tens of thousands defeat hundreds of thousands, there is basically no chance.
But the key point is that the Aisin-Gioro and Wanyan clans on the opposite side are not rookies either, so how could they give Murong Chui this opportunity?
Perhaps one person alone may not be a match for Murong Chui, but he cannot resist the fertility of Aisin-Gioro!
The key point is that the Aisin-Gioro clan had many children, and many of them were capable of being used.
One person is no match for you, Murong Chui, so can't we attack together?
As the night deepened, the candlelight was still bright in the tent of the Xianbei Alliance, and Murong Jun and Murong Longcheng sat opposite each other at the table.
Outside the tent, the wind was howling, as if foreshadowing the upcoming war, but inside the tent, it was a completely different scene.
"Longcheng, how is the progress of 'Yanziwu' that you have been busy with recently?"
Murong Jun asked softly, his eyes full of expectation. In the upcoming war with the Jurchen Alliance, in addition to the direct military confrontation, the competition in the dark is also crucial.
"Don't worry, Khan. 'Yanziwu' has begun to take shape. It has not only attracted many magic masters and villains from the Central Plains, but also many shamans and priests from the Xianbei Shamanism. We have secretly won over many of them. Some are willing to work for us because of their interests or their ideals."
Murong Longcheng smiled slightly, with confidence gleaming in his eyes.
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Jun raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by the result.
He was well aware of the status of shamanism in the hearts of the Xianbei people. Being able to infiltrate them would undoubtedly add an important chess piece to the Murong Xianbei.
"That's right. In Longcheng's vision, the future 'Swallow Dock' is not just a simple underworld force, but also a dual organization for intelligence and operations."
"Swallows are light and agile. They can fly high for reconnaissance and fly low for hunting. This is exactly what we want - they can collect intelligence and act quickly to strike directly at key points."
Murong Longcheng nodded, with a hint of calmness in his tone.
"Yanziwu..."
"What a great name! It implies that our Murong Xianbei intelligence network is as ubiquitous as a swallow, and it also implies that our actions will be as precise and swift as a swallow hunting."
Murong Jun murmured the name, seeming to savor its profound meaning.
"You are overpraising me, Great Khan. In fact, the establishment of 'Yanziwu' is also based on my deep understanding of the Central Plains Jianghu and Xianbei Shamanism."
"Those demons in the Central Plains may not be tolerated by the world, but they all have their own strengths. As long as we make good use of them, they can become a powerful force against the Jurchen Shamanism."
"As for the Xianbei Shamanism, it is also a mixed bag. As long as we promise enough benefits, there will naturally be people willing to work for us."
Murong Longcheng waved his hand and smiled modestly.
"So, in your opinion, can the current strength of 'Yanziwu' compete with the Jurchen Shamanism?"
Murong Jun's eyes suddenly became sharp; this was the issue that concerned him most.
"We may not be strong enough to fight against the Jurchen Shamanism head-on, but if we fight secretly, using our intelligence advantage and flexibility, 'Yanziwu' will be a headache for them."
"Also, don't forget that we and the Yuwen clan also have the support of the Tibetan Buddhism on the grasslands. Their Buddhist teachings and Shamanism's witchcraft each have their own merits. If they complement each other, they will surely produce unexpected results."
Murong Longcheng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
Although he was full of confidence in Yanziwu, which he founded, he was not so foolish as to think that Yanziwu, a newly established force, was strong enough to go head-on with the giant Jurchen Shamanism.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
"Long Cheng, you are not only an excellent martial artist, but also a wise and resourceful one. With you here, I think our Murong Xianbei clan won't have to worry about this."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jun's brows gradually relaxed and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, the power of Jurchen Shamanism is indeed strong, but we don't have to be too afraid."
"Although Shamanism is mysterious, it is not invincible. Many of the masters in Yanziwu are good at assassination and surprise attacks, which can restrain them."
Murong Longcheng nodded and his expression became serious.
