Chapter 1889: Reincarnation of the Dead

He Lingchuan sighed secretly in his heart; a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Ling Mountain could firmly support Panlongcheng, how good would that be.

"Xin Yi once mentioned that the current master of Ling Mountain is True Person Qianhuan. He has an old grudge with Lady Mitian, yet he is still willing to help Panlongcheng; his mind can be considered broad."

General Red gave a "hehe" sound: "That old clam is narrow-minded. This assassination of the Xianyou Second Prince might not have been his idea. Ling Mountain doesn't just have one True Immortal issuing orders."

This voice was a bit low, and He Lingchuan couldn't tell for a moment whether it was General Red or Lady Mitian speaking.

She didn't want to take credit for Qianhuan. From this point of view, it was more like Lady Mitian.

Panlongcheng had been attacking Xianyou for a while, and he had fought side by side with General Red many times, discussing military tactics and fighting in his spare time, all of which he had gained from. Before entering the Reversed Sea, He Lingchuan happened to have the opportunity to ask about the changes in the form of war between ancient and medieval times, and General Red casually cited the battle between Lady Mitian and Qianhuan as an example.

She revealed the two most critical pieces of information. First, Qianhuan's true body produces pearls and is not easy to move; it is either a snail or a clam.

Lady Mitian didn't see Qianhuan's true body with its own eyes back then, and was lured away by Qianhuan's image holding a Mirage Pearl at the last moment. But after collecting the Mirage Pearl, it pondered for so many years and made a fairly accurate guess.

The kind of illusion a Mirage Demon sets up is also mostly related to its own characteristics.

Second, Qianhuan's characteristics are suspicious and good at hiding, with a rich set of trump cards, making it very difficult to force it into a corner.

With these few important pieces of information as a foundation, He Lingchuan felt much more secure entering the Reversed Sea.

Just then, General Red suddenly said: "The day I caught up with the Xianyou King, I seemed to see you at Luanzi Slope."

"Me?" He Lingchuan pointed to his nose, looking surprised. "I was on the eastern front."

General Red attacked the Xianyou capital, so of course he had to guard the gate of the eastern border, not letting the Beijia army drive straight in.

This was a fact that didn't need to be argued.

General Red glanced at him, as if asking casually, and then switched the topic:

"This time in taking Xianyou, you seem to have different ideas. If you were in command, how would you fight?"

He Lingchuan touched his nose.

Indeed, he had his own understanding of this war. If the command was handed to him—

He still had to decline for a moment, "The battle has already been fought."

"No matter, just say it." In this regard, General Red was also open-minded. "Listening to both sides leads to clarity."

"If I were to send troops, I would use the momentum of a thunderbolt to first capture Yaoshi City, then forcefully attack Shisazi, Baisonggang..." He Lingchuan walked to the sand table and pointed to the terrain to explain his ideas, taking about a quarter of an hour.

General Red listened carefully, asked two questions in the middle, and then said: "This way of fighting has good initial results, but the consumption is huge. The casualties are likely to be more than 40% higher than now."

"But it's fast enough!" He Lingchuan said solemnly. "Speed is the essence of war. Although we have now captured the entire Xianyou territory, it took nearly four months, which cannot demonstrate the ferocity of troops like dragons, and cannot effectively deter Baling and Beijia."

He was still being conservative. In his view, this way of fighting actually exposed Panlongcheng's shortcomings.

He added: "If we had taken Xianyou in a month, Beijia wouldn't have had time to send troops; and even afterwards, they might not have sent troops."

Since war has started, let the enemy take a heavy blow and rethink whether they still want to fight you.

This is called effective sword-showing.

The premise is that your sword is truly that sharp.

General Red tilted her head: "Not necessarily?"

"War is like chess, one must always gamble." He Lingchuan shrugged. "My method is radical, your method is steady, each has its pros and cons."

Zhong Shengquan is steady, General Red cherishes soldiers, so it's this way of fighting, taking longer to take Xianyou, but with less consumption.

General Red said faintly: "The Xianyou army resisted stubbornly, and it was difficult for us to achieve success in one go. If the opponent were the Xiji Nation of the past, weak and unprepared, it would only take one night to level it."

The Xiji Nation was destroyed by Panlongcheng in one night, and then contributed the fertile Maohe Plain, allowing Panlongcheng to solve the long-standing problems of food supply and external connection.

But the Xianyou Nation had been fighting Panlongcheng for many years, and the quality of its troops, especially the border troops, was very high. If it weren't for the problems in the country in recent years, such as food shortages and internal political disorder, the difficulty for Panlongcheng to quickly attack Xianyou would have been very high.

Besides, Beijia's reaction was hard to estimate. What if the Demon Emperor was the type who became stronger when meeting strong opponents and insisted on fighting Panlongcheng? He Lingchuan pondered: "If the opponent were weak and unprepared..."

General Red's fighting method was based on the reality of Panlongcheng for a long time, thoughtful, and of course, it made sense.

He sighed. However, taking down a small place like Xiji, no matter how fast the speed, wouldn't make Beijia fearful.

General Red didn't comment, her voice gentle and flat: "In future battlefields, you will have the opportunity to try your own philosophy. But remember—"

In the error-free version!

She said word by word: "—every choice has a price."

Those who command troops can stir up blood and wind with a single thought. That's why they must be extra cautious.

He Lingchuan nodded.

He hesitated before saying: "I also want to ask God Lady Mitian a question."

"Say it."

"I heard from Mr. Xin that God Lady Mitian holds the death godhood and should have the deepest understanding of 'death'."

Xin Yi wasn't here, so there was no way to deny it.

General Red looked at him, not commenting.

"So what I want to ask is, how can the dead be reincarnated?"

"What's difficult about that?" General Red folded her arms in front of her. "Don't immortals all have the technique of seizing bodies? Find a suitable living body and seize it, or refine it into an External Dharma Image."

"If you can't seize a body, and want many people to return to life together?"

General Red was quiet for several breaths, as if looking at him from under the mask: "Do you want to bring a large number of the dead back to life?"

He Lingchuan sighed lightly: "Warriors like Liu Lin, brave and loyal, yet died young. If they could be summoned back to the human world..."

"You think too beautifully, it's not that easy." General Red gave a slight smile. "If the dead could be resurrected casually, wouldn't the order of this world be in chaos?"

He Lingchuan learned and used it: "I heard that the Kingdom of the Dead of the Holy God of Death can allow the dead to be reincarnated, isn't this going against heaven?"

"Is this also what Xin Yi told you?"

"Yes. Mr. Xin often speaks generously after drinking."

General Red gave a mocking smile: "That is the law of another world, not applicable to the human world. However, it might be worth a try. Hmm, don't be happy yet."

He Lingchuan nodded hurriedly, um um, not happy.

"The chasm between life and death is distinct. It is easy to go from life to death; if you don't draw your sword, the laws of the world will eventually take action. But turning from death to life is going against heaven. You can imagine how difficult it is." ===== CHAPTER 1890 =====
