Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 405: Postponement of the Journey South

Lu Tianhao was filled with resentment, and his heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.

However, he knew deep down that if he chose to consume his strength internally at this time, it would bring irreversible consequences.

At this moment, Kawato Prefecture has gathered all the warlord troops from the southern region.

Not only that, the great powers also continuously provided it with various advanced weapons and equipment.

With such strong military support, the combat effectiveness of the Kawato Prefecture army was extremely powerful.

If, under such circumstances, the National Salvation Army rashly launched a head-on confrontation and a fierce battle with Kawato Prefecture.

Then the final outcome will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and both sides will pay an extremely painful and high price for it.

Such a result is undoubtedly what Lu Tianhao is most worried about and what he tries his best to avoid, but it is exactly the situation that those powerful countries who are eyeing him covetously would like to see.

Although Kawato Prefecture received advanced weapons and equipment assistance from the great powers, this does not mean that Lu Tianhao is powerless to fight back.

If he recklessly used weapons of mass destruction, it would indeed cause huge casualties to the Kawato Prefecture's troops.

However, it should be noted that the troops of Kawato Prefecture are not enemies of other countries, but their own flesh and blood brothers who share the same roots and origins!

How could Lu Tianhao use such a weapon with incredible destructive power without caring about the feelings of his compatriots?

Lu Tianhao's face was calm as water, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he spoke lightly.

"Those powerful countries have ulterior motives, and they are just hoping that we will fight among ourselves and consume each other!

Humph, but I won’t do what they want.” After saying that, he paused for a moment and turned his gaze to Wang Hui who was standing aside.

Lu Tianhao just waved his hand and continued to order, "Chief of Staff Wang, I will not meet with the people from Chuandu Prefecture.

Please tell them that our National Salvation Army has decided to temporarily abandon the plan of moving south.

But this does not mean that our National Salvation Army is afraid of their Kawato Prefecture. It’s just that the current situation is complicated and we need to take a long-term view.

Also, please ask them to treat the people well, work more for the welfare of the people, and never do anything that is harmful to the world.

Finally, I'll give them a word of advice - take care of yourself! " After saying these words, Lu Tianhao's eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could see through all the conspiracies and tricks.

Wang Hui sighed with regret, "Marshal! Now the Chuandu Prefecture has given us a generous gift.

With such a golden opportunity before us, if we declare war on them now, we can definitely find a perfect reason to start a war.

If we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Kawato Prefecture will behave itself and stop causing trouble in the future.

If we want to find another excuse to attack them, it will be extremely difficult!"

Lu Tianhao sighed heavily and responded helplessly, "Ah! The situation is really pressing!

It is because the current situation is so urgent that I was forced to give up my plan to go south.

At present, Kawato Prefecture has assembled all the warlord troops in the south.

As far as we know now, its military strength is at least over one million.

However, this is only a preliminary estimate, and the actual number of troops they have may even be far more than two million.

Facing such a massive enemy force, and thinking about the various advanced weapons and equipment that the great powers have continuously supported them with, the pressure on our side is really not small!

Moreover, these enemy troops are all native locals who are familiar with the local terrain. They have the home advantage in fighting and are well-rested.

In this battle, the challenge we face is huge!

What is more crucial is that if our National Salvation Army puts all its efforts into a fierce battle with Kawato Prefecture.

Those bandits and the armies of the powerful countries will certainly not stand idly by and remain indifferent.

They will surely find the right opportunity to intervene and launch a fierce attack against us together.

It was precisely because of so many complicated and difficult reasons that I was forced to abandon my plan to go south!

Besides, our team has been fighting continuously for quite a long time, and it is indeed time to let the soldiers take a break and adjust.

Just do as I say. First, send those people from Kawato Prefecture away.

After you complete the mission and return, we will discuss other related matters together. " After saying this, Lu Tianhao waved his hand to signal Wang Hui that he could withdraw and execute the order.

Wang Hui agreed, then hurried away with several followers and went straight to meet the envoy from Kawato Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, the communication between Wang Hui and the visitors from Chuandu Prefecture did not last long.

He simply and concisely conveyed to the other party what Lu Tianhao had told him.

As for the people in Chuandu Prefecture, after hearing the information conveyed by Wang Hui, they also did not stay here for long.

After all, the purpose of their trip had been successfully achieved, and they got the results they expected as they wished.

So, this group of people quickly packed up their luggage, turned around and left without any delay, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wang Hui walked calmly and stepped back into the meeting room filled with heavy atmosphere.

With a hint of relief, he reported to Lu Tianhao, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, "Marshal, I have successfully sent those people from Chuandu Prefecture away."

After saying that, he stood quietly aside waiting for Lu Tianhao's instructions.

Lu Tianhao raised his head slightly, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, but he said nothing.

In fact, he knew clearly the real intention of Kawato Prefecture in sending people here.

The Kawato Prefecture simply wanted to prevent their national salvation army from moving south.

Now that they have agreed to the other party's conditions, there is naturally no reason for these people to stay here any longer.

After thinking for a while, Lu Tianhao raised his head and looked at Wang Hui, and said in a firm tone, "Although we can't go south for the time being.

But for the two provinces in the north, we must speed up our actions and make sure to recover them in the shortest possible time!

There are also Xiling Province and Xiyuan Province.

Ever since the three southwestern provinces were successfully brought under our control, these two provinces have actually been surrounded by us.

Moreover, according to the intelligence we have at present, the warlords of these two provinces have always maintained relatively peaceful relations with us.

So far, no news has been received regarding their intention to surrender to Kawato Prefecture.

Chief of Staff Wang, please send a team of smart and capable envoys to contact them.

Persuade them to join our National Salvation Army as much as possible.

Their attitude towards our National Salvation Army was quite friendly.

Because of this, I am reluctant to use force to force them to submit unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, war will only bring endless casualties and destruction, while peaceful coexistence and cooperation are the best options.

If this matter cannot be properly resolved through peaceful means in the end, then we must not hesitate in the slightest.

We must act decisively and swiftly to quickly take complete control of these two provinces.

Because we absolutely cannot tolerate the warlord forces in these two provinces continuing to grow.

We must not watch them being used by other hostile forces and become two deadly nails deeply embedded in our jurisdiction!"
