C60 The Real Identity of the Purple-clothed Man

Guxing said with a smile. "If my guess is correct, it should be that Emperor Xiaotian has taken action again. Since the previous State of Zhao, Yaen Kingdom and Wu Country had been attacked, I think the ones who suffered this time should be the remaining Qi Country, Soong Kingdom and Shu Country. However, their territories have been attacked again?"

"Haha, it's easy to deal with smart people like little brother. "

The shopkeeper praised him and said: "That's right. Just as King Wu was about to increase the number of soldiers, that group of people attacked again. Just like what little brother had said, this group of people's target was the Qi, Shu, and Song Empires. However, this time, it was not to split up the troops, but to gather the troops of the three sides. Six hours later, the State of Qi's territory, the Cazhou Region, fell into enemy hands. All 80,000 soldiers guarding the city died in battle. After six hours, Cangzhou fell. Another two hours later, Liuzhou fell. "

When he said this, the shopkeeper paused for a moment. He looked at Guxing and said, "This group of people is so brave. They fought five times and all of them returned with complete victory. Then, little brother, can you guess how many soldiers this group of people has in total?"

When he heard this question, Guxing couldn't help but ponder. As the saying went, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. With just the strength of one country in Chu Kingdom, how could they fight against the six countries? Moreover, Chu Kingdom had an army guarding the border all year round. The number of people defending against the Barbarian Tribe should not be comparable to the six countries. The reason why they were able to win six battles and six victories was because most of these people had cultivation bases. Moreover, all of them had extraordinary cultivation base, which was why they were able to fight one against ten. However, the battlefield was never just a formality in the world of martial arts. Hearing the shopkeeper's words, The Qi State alone had 80,000 soldiers defending it. It could be seen that no matter how great the individual's strength was, under the overwhelming numerical advantage of the enemy, it would still become insignificant.

Thinking of this, Guxing could not help but sigh and said, The Qi State alone has 80,000 soldiers defending it. " Even if the Chu Kingdom has numerous experts, I think there should be at least two hundred thousand soldiers. "

After saying that, he saw that the shopkeeper only smiled slightly but didn't answer. Guxing couldn't help but ask, "What, could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"Hehe. " The manager turned his head and said with a light smile, "It's not that little brother is wrong. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that Chu Kingdom had turned the world upside down with just fifty thousand soldiers? In just three days, they had slaughtered a total of five hundred thousand soldiers of the six states. All of this sounded like a fantasy, it was truly unbelievable. "

"Fifty thousand?"

When he heard this number, Guxing naturally didn't believe it. Even if Chu Kingdom was in a favorable position, they should not have such a huge disparity in numbers with the Six Nations. He immediately asked tentatively, "How can a mere fifty thousand soldiers fight against five hundred thousand soldiers of the Six Nations? Are you joking, senior?"

The shopkeeper sighed when he heard this, "Not really. Although five hundred thousand soldiers sounds very impressive, it's still a great number. However, little brother, you might as well think about it carefully. This army could easily send out one hundred thousand or one million soldiers. There are also a few who can be called experts. It's nothing more than their bodies being more robust than ordinary people. Most of them were not even considered martial artists, and although Chu Kingdom only sent out fifty thousand soldiers this time, But those were fifty thousand martial artists. How could ordinary soldiers compare to them? Furthermore, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the six countries were not gathered in one place. They were scattered at the border of Chu Kingdom. The time that Chu Kingdom chose to attack the city was specially picked at night. All of these factors were added together. Although it sounded a little unbelievable, it was not a lie. Besides, this battle itself has a convincing reason. "

"What reason?"

Guxing said. "In front of the absolute strength of the six countries, I don't think Chu has any ability to turn the tides and turn defeat into victory. "

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said with a hint of melancholy: "Maybe it's not a reason. The reason why he said that is only because of his identity. "

"Identity? What identity? Whose identity? "

In his anxiety, Guxing asked two questions in a row.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's him, Chu Xiaotian!"

When the name was mentioned, the shopkeeper seemed to become very excited again. He immediately stood up from his seat, and then he calmed down a few times and said, "It's the leader of those people, the man in purple clothes. "

"Chu Xiaotian?"

Guxing was stunned. "I thought we still haven't confirmed that person's identity. Why is senior so confident now?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "We weren't sure before, but it has been confirmed later. That man is undoubtedly Emperor Xiaotian. On the day of the siege, at least ten thousand people witnessed his clothes being stained with blood. He moved around the battlefield and killed his way here. "

"How could that be? Wasn't he trying his best to hide his identity? Why is it that now. . . "

"It's just a trick. "

The shopkeeper interrupted Guxing's words and explained, "The reason why he concealed his identity earlier was to deter us. Now, it's also to deter them, but in fact, it's to give the six kingdoms a psychological blow. I want them to show their fear before the war starts, so that they can take the lead. Emperor Xiaotian has probably predicted all of this before the war begins. "

"Doesn't this mean that the entire world is in the dark? This man really has a deep thought. I think the expressions of the Six Nations must have been very interesting when they found out about his true identity. "

The shopkeeper still shook his head and sighed. "Since ancient times, the seven countries have been contending for supremacy for a long time. In terms of war, each of them has countless military generals and abundant talents. In terms of strategizing, there is no lack of strategists from various countries. It should not be difficult to deduce the identity of the purple clothed man through some clues. "

"Since we already knew, why didn't we take action or withdraw? Could it be that we will only stay here and wait for death? "

"I think there are two reasons. "

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and then he made up his mind. "First, He had underestimated the strength of Chu Kingdom. To be precise, he had underestimated the real strength and courage of Emperor Xiaotian and the tens of thousands of experts he had led. He dared to fight against the army of four to five hundred thousand men of six countries with just fifty thousand men, even though it was just a sneak attack. In comparison, The armies of the Six Nations are much weaker. "

"Secondly, perhaps it's just a test. I want to use these people who stayed behind to exchange for an attitude from the Chu Kingdom. "

"An attitude? What kind of attitude?" Guxing asked, puzzled.

The shopkeeper said, "The reason why he didn't do anything in the face of threats is because the real identity of the man in purple hasn't been confirmed yet. Therefore, even though the five kingdoms had already confirmed ten thousand times in their hearts, that man was Emperor Xiaotian. As long as he doesn't admit it himself, the six kingdoms will do everything they can to keep him here. However, when Emperor Xiaotian openly appeared in front of the world, everything was different. Because he was the master of Chu Kingdom, and his words were the words of the Chu Kingdom. At this time, the six kingdoms had to reconsider whether it was worth it to continue the war. This is because this Emperor has always used his actions to show how firm his stance is. The people who stayed behind are the test stones that they used to come to a conclusion. "

"The lives of tens of thousands of people are only to obtain a conclusion, human lives are worse than grass Is this the means of those in power? " Thinking of this, Guxing felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he deeply felt sad for those soldiers who had died in vain. They only knew that military orders were as heavy as mountains. However, they could not guess that this was a battle without suspense. Their fate was destined to end before the war began.

"What happened after that? What kind of reaction did the Six Nations have after that? Or did they just swallow their anger?"

Shopkeeper did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Things have developed to such an extent. If you were from the Six Nations, what would you do?"
