Chapter 1243: Looking at Problems in Reverse

The Xuan Lu Ghost King had vanished, the Pi Xia people's strongest elite had been crippled, and the Boss Situ family had successively taken White Tip Town and Ju City; their morale was at its peak. If they couldn't strike while the iron was hot, once the Pi Xia people recovered, the rhythm of the war would no longer be up to them.

"Besides, my family has no way out; we can only fight with all our might." Gaopu had fallen, and Pi Xia wouldn't let the Boss Situ territory go either; if the Boss Situ family didn't fight now, Pi Xia would attack later.

He was talking about his family having no way out, but his face was full of ambition. He Lingchuan played chess with him and felt that his attacks today were sharp, contrary to his usual style of being open and close.

Clearly, Boss Situ He himself was surging with emotion, and his recent feelings were reflected in his chess style.

He Lingchuan reminded him: "For a wounded person, your body and mind are too excited, which is not conducive to healing."

"Success or failure depends on this one move. If we win, what do a few small wounds matter?" Boss Situ He dropped a piece with a *bang*, "If we lose, what do a few small wounds matter?"

Once they lost, the heads of the whole family would likely fall; what did he have to worry about regarding his injuries? With this, his heroism was dry and cloudless. He Lingchuan nodded: "As expected of Brother Boss Situ."

To achieve a great event, one must first put life and death aside.

On this point, this twenty-something-year-old youth Boss Situ He was actually much stronger than the 300-year-old Xuan Lu Ghost King.

"My family is fighting this war, and the outside world doesn't look favorably upon it. What does Brother He think?"

Boss Situ He had been dealing with He Lingchuan these days and felt more and more that this person was unfathomable.

Was this still the person who drank with him in Lingxu City? At that time, he only felt that He Xiao was broad-minded and upright; now that he had been ground in the mill of war and walked through the gates of life and death, he realized that his city was strict and his heart had the dangers of mountains and rivers. Whatever he wanted to achieve, he would achieve.

As a commoner serving as a special envoy of Chi Yan, and a foreigner at that, he had actually pulled down the Boss Situ of Agriculture's son-in-law Cen Boqing, indirectly causing the downfall of the Qingyang National Master.

Looking at it this way, sneaking into the heavily guarded Ju City to save him didn't seem like a difficult task for He Xiao?

Was he ignorant or blind in the past? He hadn't noticed a single clue! "The standard of the Pi Xia army, if it were all like the day they besieged Rolling Stone Valley, then whether in terms of numbers or combat power, they have no overwhelming advantage over you." He Lingchuan didn't know the combat power of the Boss Situ family's allies, so he could only analyze it generally, "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is nothing more than Heaven's timing, Earth's advantage, and Human harmony. You occupy Heaven's timing, the Pi Xia people occupy Earth's advantage, and the last and most critical factor is 'Human harmony'."

"With the Yao Kingdom standing behind Pi Xia, it's hard for you alone to resist." As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Situ He's face became a bit sad.

This was a heavy fact that could not be avoided.

"Therefore, other forces must be fought for." He Lingchuan continued, "They are just watching from the sidelines for now."

Boss Situ He gritted his teeth: "They are all fence-sitters!"

They had agreed to join forces, but when it came to real action, they shrank back; these bastards.

His teeth itched whenever he mentioned it.

He Lingchuan understood his anger: sometimes it wasn't that the enemy was too strong, but that the teammates were too weak.

"Seeking profit and avoiding harm is human nature."

On the Flash Gold Plain, one must have basic insight, otherwise how could one stand firm? Ordinary people are like this, and small countries are also like this.

"To win, you have to calculate human hearts." He Lingchuan had seen it very clearly in the past, "You took White Tip Town and Ju City, two consecutive great victories, which was very inspiring, so other forces agreed to join forces at first. This shows that their hearts were moved."

Boss Situ He nodded: "They are all at odds with the Pi Xia people, either having suffered losses or fought wars. When I talked to their leaders or monarchs, I could feel their hatred for Pi Xia, which was simply overflowing."

If there hadn't been this basic condition, why would he have gone to be a lobbyist?

He Lingchuan also played a piece: "It doesn't matter if they are forced to retreat later; as long as their hearts are moved, the thought of fighting will always hook them. At this time, as long as you give them one more thing, they will likely join the war."

Boss Situ He's eyes brightened slightly: "Please give me some guidance, Brother He."

"Hope, the hope of winning." He Lingchuan said softly, "The Boss Situ family must prove its strength to them."

People are willing to follow the strong because the strong have a higher chance of winning.

The Boss Situ family must prove to all parties that it has grown into a backbone force capable of resisting Pi Xia or the Yao Kingdom.

"Prove that we can at least contend with the Pi Xia people." Boss Situ He said firmly, "We still need a hearty, great victory!"

"The Yao Kingdom prevented the seven-army coalition from crusading against Pi Xia, which shows that it is deeply wary of the power you have twisted together; conversely, as long as the coalition can be formed, it won't be easy for the Yao Kingdom to stop you." He Lingchuan had looked at the sand table and knew the positions of these seven forces. If they could join hands, not to mention dealing with the Yao Kingdom, at least beating Pi Xia until they were crying for help would be no problem.

Otherwise, Pi Xia wouldn't have been in such a hurry to catch Boss Situ He earlier; they wanted to break the Boss Situ family's lobbying.

Boss Situ He nodded: "When I went to persuade various countries, I found that even if they didn't express their intention to join, they were very interested in the commander of the coalition."

A snake cannot move without a head; the seven-army coalition needs a commander-in-chief, right?

So many people, there must be someone in charge.

For a coalition formed temporarily like this, the most feared thing is a lack of unity and dragging feet.

And this situation is bound to exist, unavoidable, sigh.

Over a hundred years ago, multiple countries besieged the Yao Kingdom, and despite finally gaining an advantage, the Ying people and the Luodian Kingdom turned against them temporarily, causing the Allied Army to fail in the end.

Boss Situ He didn't hide his disdain: "I could hear the sound of them calculating on their abacuses."

"The Flash Gold Plain has been in chaos for many years, and people's hearts are scattered. To achieve something in such a place, the Boss Situ family must be arduous and make more efforts." He Lingchuan put down another piece, "Actually, it's a good thing for the Boss Situ family that they didn't join at the beginning."

"Please speak." Mentioning the two words "good thing," no one would refuse.

"As long as the Boss Situ family and two allies win a few more victories, you can establish your leadership in the coalition. By then, when the other forces join, they will only be able to accept the Boss Situ family as the leader of the coalition, and it will be hard to have any more disputes."

Those who join halfway naturally don't have much say.

"At that time, the noise in the coalition will be less, the internal pulling will be less, and the Boss Situ family's status will be consolidated." He Lingchuan smiled, "Don't worry, the two allies who joined forces from the beginning will support you more firmly. Even if other forces have some thoughts, they won't become a climate."

Because supporting the Boss Situ family is consolidating their own status in the coalition.
