As the guardian of the Holy Temple, if you ignore the suffering and destruction that millions of dragon tribes are suffering outside because of ignorance, cowardice, timidity or other reasons, and ignore it, when the entire northern border has become the slaves and slave factories of Shura people, all the dragon tribes have become slaves or dead people of Shura people, even if you still protect the holy temple, what's the point? The people who believe in the holy temple no longer exist
The Holy Elder's face turned blue and white, and the calm demeanor of the past was gone. Wu Tianjiao's sharpness exceeded his imagination, making him unable to refute it at all.
After thinking for a while, he said: I admit, young man, you are a first-class lobbyist, but the reality is: The Shura people are still very powerful. Even if we mobilize the entire northern border, we still cannot compete with the Shura Empire as a whole. The power of the Shura army is far from people's imagination. They destroyed all the troops of the Condor Empire in the northern border in less than a month. If we rise up and resist, it will be self-destruction.
If I were just an ordinary Dragon Warrior, of course I could say, "I would rather die if I am not free." But the problem is that my every move involves the lives of millions of people. I cannot act on my own will. If the entire Dragon Clan suffered a disaster of extermination because of my recklessness, then I will become a sinner of the entire race.
Wu Tianjiao snorted: The Shura people are not as powerful as you imagined. It is precisely because of your fear and retreat that the Shura people are even more arrogant and domineering. If you give in and endure, they will force you to have no way out. It will be too late to resist until you fall into the abyss. Let’s talk about it. I didn’t say that we must defeat the entire Shura Empire and fight for a certain limit of independence and autonomy.
The Holy Elder said strangely: What do you mean?
Wu Tianjiao said calmly: Elder, have you ever seen tadpoles in the water? This is a very weak animal. It has neither a hard shell nor any sharp thorns on its body. Any big fish can easily eat them. But in fact, big fish never eat tadpoles, because the tadpoles contain a toxin. If the big fish eat it, they will be poisoned to death. The current situation is like a tadpole. The Shura people are the big fish. It is indeed difficult for tadpoles to defeat the big fish, but if they just want to protect themselves from the mouth of the big fish, it is not impossible.
I understand Shura people. They don’t care much about the land in the northern border. They coveted the vast and fertile condor territory east, east, and constantly east, that is, the Shura people’s eternal desire to seize the land of the Condor Empire, they will inevitably have a decisive battle with the Condor Empire. Before this, they will not be willing to consume their military power, especially for the barren land in the northern border.
As long as we show strong resistance and strong strength, the Shura people realize that the northern border is not a piece of fat meat that can be slaughtered. If they do it too much, for example, in this situation, we will be anxious and desperate. Even if they can destroy us in the end, they will definitely pay a heavy price. I think that after weighing the pros and cons, there are many wise people in the upper class of the Shura people, and they will know how to choose.
The Holy Elder pondered: Lord Tianjiao, does your so-called "strong enough will to resist" refer to war?
Wu Tianjiao said sternly: Yes! Launch a large-scale uprising across the northern border and eliminate enough Shura troops on the front battlefield. At that time, Shura Emperor will consider our strength. He is likely to agree to negotiate with us and compromise and promise to give us limited autonomy in the northern border. After all, his main goal is not us, but the Condor Empire.
Do you think the Shura people will give up such a good springboard as Northern Xinjiang? The Holy Elder said calmly
We can promise that the Shura army passes through our land through the passage, and we can even promise to the Shura people that the line of food and grass line in the rear is safe, so that they can fight against the Condor Empire without worries. We, watching the strength of both sides consume and weaken on the battlefield day by day, and we have won time, accumulate our strength day by day, and then wait until our strength is strong enough, and then wait until our strength is strong enough
Wu Tianjiao took a deep breath: A powerful northern Xinjiang regime will establish all races, whether it is the Longzhong tribe, the Barbarian tribe, the Gaoyue tribe, the Yi tribe, the Tayi tribe and even the Shura people, they will all be equal to the northern border and will become the northern border of the northern border people.
The Holy Elder's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything. After quietly pondering for a while, he spoke again: Young man, you said it very well, but this is impossible. We were sandwiched between the two giants of Shura and the Condor. No matter which one of them can easily crush us into powder and defend the two lines of defense. Our hands are not strong enough, but if we only defend one side, the other will stab us in the back immediately. Moreover, without external input, we will find it difficult to survive independently in the northern border. Our land is also very poor, and the food can barely be enough.
But we have minerals, extremely rich minerals! Elder, I am not advocating that the northern border is isolated from the outside world. In order to make up for our small grain gap, there are other things, we can buy it from the Condor Empire, use our iron ore and coal, and use our precious diamonds and crystals to the Condor Inland. The merchants are eager for these things! And in those grain-producing counties, their surplus grain accumulates like mountains, which can completely solve our few needs.
In order to eliminate the threats on both sides of the south and west, we must be good at taking advantage of the even balance between the Shura people and the Condor Heroes. The newly born northern regime can declare that it will not participate in the war between the Shura Empire and the Condor Heroes Empire and maintain a neutral position. This is on the surface, but in essence, we are on the side of the Condor Heroes Empire. In the current situation, the Shura people, not the Condor Heroes, are the Shura people, and are the ones who pose the greatest threat to us.
Of course, it is also possible that the Shura people cannot tolerate our existence and come to attack us. Once this situation occurs, we will get the food and excellent weapons and equipment that the Divine Eagle Empire continuously transported from Beitian City. With this, coupled with the courage of the Dragon Warriors, we can form our own national defense force system and can completely resist the attack of the Shura people!
But……
Wu Tianjiao said too quickly, and the Holy Elder could not keep up with his ideas: What you are talking about is just wishful thinking. Why did the Eagle Empire help us? To them, we are rebels and mortal enemies.
Without eternal enemies and friends in political interests, the Elder Condor Empire would be happy to see a powerful northern border regime appearing in their north. This is much better for them than a northern border that is vassalized by the Shura people. It not only does not pose a threat to them, but will also become a buffer and strategic cover between them and the Shura Empire.
The ministers of the Condor Court are not all fools. They can see such obvious benefits. For this, they will spare no effort to support us, support us, and even come to help us by voluntary soldiers.
The Holy Elder has nothing to say, what Wu Tianjiao said is completely the truth
He thought for a while and asked: But what are the benefits of doing this for us? We broke free from the control of the Shura people and became vassals of the Condor Heroes again? In this way, all our efforts and sacrifices before became absurd?
Wu Tianjiao replied: Elders, the advantage is that it is obvious that we can get rid of all the control of foreign forces over us in politics. Neither the Condor Heroes nor the Shura people can treat us as they used to, or on the surface, in order to satisfy their self-esteem, we can agree to call them the sect leader, but in essence, we will restore the liberal traditions that were previously enslaved in the northern border and establish a completely autonomous local government.
The Holy Elder said: But we are sandwiched between the two major forces. How long can this balance last? Five years or ten years later, who will ensure that our regime will not be easily controlled by the Condor Empire or the Shura Empire?
Wu Tianjiao slowly said: Elders, the poverty and weakness of northern Xinjiang today are mostly caused by the cruel exploitation of you by rulers of all dynasties, the Eagle people or the Shura people. We have extremely rich resources. What can our food production be self-sufficient?
We have nothing to lack! As long as our politics gain independence, as long as we can survive the most difficult years of independence, within five years, we can greatly boost our economy, and we will be ten times richer than today
We will have the most powerful army composed of dragon warriors and barbarian legions, which can conquer and fight well. At that time, not to mention the Eagle Empire, even the Shura Empire would not dare to invade our territory. We will become the fourth largest force on the continent and stand together with the Shura Empire, the Eagle Empire, and the Mauryan Dynasty!
The Holy Elder stopped talking
He meditated thoughtfully, his face was very rich, his brows were frowning, and he became cheerful again, as if he was listening to an extremely wonderful story
Wu Tianjiao didn't say anything anymore. All the reasons he stated were finished, it depends on how the other party decided.
The temple was silent, it was already night outside, it was pitch black, you could hear the rustling sound of the golden-crowned snake python swimming outside the temple.
After a long time, the Holy Elder breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Wu Tianjiao: Sorry, Your Excellency Tianjiao, I can only refuse your suggestions.
Wu Tianjiao was surprised. During the persuasion just now, he could see that the other party was very interested.
He asked politely: If I don’t take the liberation of the dragon clan, can I ask, why? This is the war to liberate the dragon clan. For you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break free from the chains suppressed on you!
Young man, more than two hundred years ago, someone said the same thing as you. He also said that we should liberate from the claws of the Shura people. For this promise, our soldiers fought side by side with the Condor Heroes. In order to resist the Shura people, we dedicated the flesh and soul of our soldiers without complaints, and the purest and most precious blood of our race, but what happened? Our dedication was exchanged for the two hundred years of rule of the Condor Heroes Empire.
Two hundred years later, another condor man came to us and said, "Believe me, I will give you the independence of the northern border!" That man is also a senior general of your Condor Empire. His name is Jin Ji, we believed him. We revolt again, fighting desperately, fighting for the peasants of all races holding forks and hoes, fighting fiercely with the well-equipped Condor army. Thousands of people died of battle. Our soldiers were trampled into meat paste by the iron armored cavalry of the Condor Army. Our old, young, women and children were burned into charcoal, the whole village, and the whole city were slaughtered.
We paid such a huge and heavy price, but we did not give up. We have done everything a nation can do to win liberation. No one can accuse us of not being brave enough, not being strong enough, and not being sacrificed thoroughly enough.
But history is surprisingly similar, and we are betrayed by our allies again: Jin Ji dedicated his hands to the Shura people. As Shura people, for his promotion to reward the lives and blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the efforts of millions of people, the desire and expectation for freedom for a thousand years, everything, the results of our bloody battle were easily accepted by Shura people, and we welcomed our destroyers with gongs and drums.
When narrating that painful history, the Holy Elder's voice did not increase or be excited at all, but was still so plain and calm
But his sitting posture, his calm expression, and his trembling words were all shrouded in heavy pain and regret, and thousands of words silently formed into one sentence: We have been betrayed by you too many times!
He was polite to Fang and felt very embarrassed to Wu Tianjiao without Ren He's harsh words. For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of being a condor man.
He couldn't think of anything to defend himself. In the face of such bloody historical facts, no matter how Ren He's words express his sincerity, he would be pale and powerless.
The Holy Elder continued to speak with a smile: Now, Lord Tianjiao, have you persuaded us to continue fighting again and use the body and blood of our local soldiers to act as the vanguard of war with the Shura people to expand the territory of the Divine Eagle Empire? Lord Tianjiao, you just compared our northern border to a tadpole, but I would rather compare it to a bone, and you Divine Eagle and Shura people
The Holy Elder's face turned blue and white, and the calm demeanor of the past was gone. Wu Tianjiao's sharpness exceeded his imagination, making him unable to refute it at all.
After thinking for a while, he said: I admit, young man, you are a first-class lobbyist, but the reality is: The Shura people are still very powerful.
