Chapter 429 The Young Singer's Journey 98
Upon hearing this, Wuxin lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and said in a low voice:
"I understand. Rest assured and recover. I will take care of all the affairs in the army and will not let anyone disturb you, nor will I let anyone know about your injuries."
Looking at the bald head in front of him, Xiao Yu sensed the person's low spirits and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently rub it a couple of times: "Just do your best, don't push yourself too hard."
He remained silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, perhaps sensing the somewhat emotional atmosphere and with a hint of wanting to ease the tension, Wuxin pointed to the battlefield below and said, "Now that the Southern Jue has lost all will to fight, continuing to fight will only result in a one-sided slaughter by the Northern Li. Should we accept their surrender in advance to avoid further casualties?"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, surveying the routed Nanjue soldiers below. After weighing his options, he shook his head and refused.
"No, we must fight! And not only must we fight, we must fight hard!"
“Nan Jue’s strength should not be underestimated. Even if they are afraid of my presence and have the idea of surrendering, it is not from their heart. Once their fear dissipates, they will definitely plot a counterattack in secret.”
"To prevent them from causing trouble again in the future, we must press our advantage now and kill them until they are terrified to the core, and make them submit completely from the bottom of their hearts."
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Wu Xin felt a little reluctant, but at the same time, he felt that what Xiao Yu said made a lot of sense.
Now that Nanjue's surrender is a foregone conclusion, if we don't take this opportunity to teach them a lesson and completely weaken their military power...
As time goes by, the fear in the hearts of the people of Nanjue will fade, and their ambition to restore their kingdom will surely spread like wildfire, unstoppable.
Rather than waiting for the Northern Li to fall into chaos in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to eliminate any future worries and prevent them from having such thoughts again.
Xiao Yu previously said he would destroy the entire Nanjue Kingdom and exterminate its people, but that was ultimately impossible.
With hundreds of millions of people involved in the Southern Scripture, how could they possibly kill so many?
If Xiao Yu really insists on doing so, then the people of Nanjue will definitely fight back desperately to survive, which will only fuel their fighting spirit and make them lose more than they gain.
Therefore, the wisest course of action is to take the opportunity to weaken Nan Jue's power with a strong stance, but to stop at the right time when they reach their breaking point.
This will not only have a deterrent effect, preventing potential future conflicts, but also allow the pent-up emotions of the people of Beili to be released, greatly enhancing Beili's national prestige and improving the cohesion and centripetal force of the entire country.
At the beginning of the war, Nan Jue had already amassed an army of 300,000 on the border, and then received reinforcements of nearly 200,000 from various places, bringing the total force to 500,000.
In Xiao Yu's vision, such a massive military force should be reduced by at least half.
The royal family and upper class of Nanjue will inevitably undergo a major purge.
In the past, in order to win over the hearts of the people of Nanjue as soon as possible, Xiao Yu would naturally have appeased and treated these people well.
However, Wu Qinghuan had already committed treason, killed the beloved Crown Prince Ao Yu, and brought an 'immortal' down to the mortal realm.
All of this has already aroused widespread resentment among the people, and even within the Southern Sect, there is a great deal of discontent.
Now Xiao Yu can take this opportunity to legitimately eliminate these old aristocratic forces of Nan Jue.
This fundamentally eliminates the possibility that someone might use the pretext of restoring the kingdom to incite the people of Nanjue to start another war.
The one-sided situation continued until noon before it stopped.
Even the Northern Army, which had been full of fighting spirit, was now showing obvious signs of fatigue after a morning of fierce fighting.
On the other hand, the Southern Jue side suffered a crushing defeat and heavy casualties at the hands of the Northern Li army, a truly shocking sight.
Xiao Yu acted as if nothing had happened, stubbornly holding on until the battle between the two armies ended. After the battle, he even boosted morale and confirmed that nothing unusual had happened in the army over the past few days before finally relaxing. His body could no longer hold on, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yu slept for five whole days. When he woke up, his face was still a little pale, and his body had not fully recovered.
But the military camp is not a place to recuperate, and given the current urgent situation, he simply cannot afford a long period of rest.
Xiao Yu is now the pillar of strength for the army. If he were to make any mistake at this time, the morale of the army would be severely damaged.
He was still hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Nanjue in one fell swoop, how could he let such a thing happen?
Wuxin was quite worried about this, but she knew she couldn't persuade Xiao Yu, so she could only take on all the tasks she could handle to save Xiao Yu from having to worry too much.
Finally, under this pressure, Wuxin grew rapidly and made a qualitative leap in a short period of time, gradually showing the demeanor of the young general from his previous life.
Mo Yi, who had been waiting in the army for many days, rushed over as soon as he learned that Xiao Yu had woken up. He directly begged Xiao Yu to help him bring his sister back to life.
Xiao Yu had only ever experienced such an unreasonable wish with Gong Ziyu, and he immediately rejected it without hesitation.
If he could truly come back to life, he wouldn't be staying here.
Mo Yi's initial reason for cultivating Taoism was to save his younger sister.
Mo Yi lost both her parents at a young age, leaving only her younger sister Xiao Lü'er as her only relative. The two depended on each other for survival, living in a dilapidated temple and begging for a living, leading a very difficult life.
In the end, Little Green gave the last piece of cake to Mo Yi, but starved to death herself.
It was at this time that Qingfeng Daoist of Huanglong Mountain met Mo Yi. Seeing his extraordinary talent, he took him under his wing and taught him Daoist arts.
Now, decades later, Xiao Lü'er's death has become a mental demon that Mo Yi can hardly shake off.
When he saw Xiao Yu's immense strength, it was as if he had caught a ray of light in the vast darkness, and thought he had found the only possibility to save his sister.
So after being rejected by Xiao Yu, Mo Yi's rational defenses crumbled instantly, and she went completely mad. She even took action to force Xiao Yu to save her.
Xiao Yu looked at Mo Yi, whose eyes were glowing purple and who had gone mad, with a complicated expression, and slowly shook his head: "I really can't bring your sister back to life, but I can do something else now."
Mo Yi asked anxiously, "What?"
Xiao Yu gave him a meaningful look, then pinned him to the ground and gave him a severe beating, successfully bringing Mo Yi's eyes back to their clear state.
Money can solve more than 90% of the problems in this world, and so can absolute power.
