Original God, but the real world

Chapter 140 139-End of Hatred
Jiang Qing didn't know if this was the best opportunity.

The Fatui were also dragging their feet, and the shogunate's front-line troops had to clean up the mess created by the Fatui while also dealing with internal chaos.

When intelligence piled up, Coral Palace Xinhai's original intention was to test the situation of the shogunate.

She fought a battle, but her purpose was not to win, but to see how Kujo Sara would react.

At this time, the shogunate army, which was facing internal and external troubles, should have first focused on defense and then sorted out the internal chaos.

But Kujo Sara rejected the idea.

She knew that the rebels wanted to take advantage of the situation. Once she chose to defend, Coral Palace would definitely send a large army to fight to the death.

During the war with Kaijima, the shogunate rarely chose to defend. Considering the gap in status between the two sides, there was no difference between defense and showing weakness.

If the shogunate shows weakness, the rebels will never give up.

Coral Palace Xinhai would only go one step further and put the blade against the faces of the Shogunate's frontline troops.

To expand this reaction is actually what we call a strategy.

For example, if Kujo Sara really chose to defend, should we consider it as her intentional display of weakness, and then luring the rebels into taking the bait? If she chose to attack with attack, was she intentionally bluffing just to intimidate...
This is the conventional strategy.

Playing a game of chess, using chess pieces in the open and chess pieces placed secretly to bluff or show weakness to the enemy.

Everyone fought back and forth, luring their opponents into their own traps and then striving for victory.

But it is hard to say whether the other party stepped in on purpose.

There are many reactions that need to be considered, and most wins and losses can actually be decided by intelligence.

However, the history of war in Teyvat is not complicated.

Because most of the time, wars are fought between a group of beings that mortals cannot understand at all. After the war, they left behind terrain such as mountains, lakes, basins or straits.

There is no need to understand the fight between them. Everyone accepts the result and becomes a believer of the winner. That's all.

The art of war cannot be developed.

Firstly, facing this kind of existence, mortals have no means of counterattack.

Secondly, if no one fights, there will be no room for survival and development.

Kujo Sara also thought a lot.

She could delay time. After all, by the time Kujo Takayuki discovered the problem on the front line, he might have to come and clean up the mess himself.

He had many plans, but none of them was intended to help the rebels win.

Under the leadership of Kujo Takayuki, the shogunate would surely win if they put all their efforts into it.

But she gave up.

She gave up most of the means and chose to fight her opponent to the death on the front battlefield, using the simplest means to achieve the final outcome.

This is a bit unworthy of her identity.

As the general of the shogunate, she should have made victory her first priority.

Waiting for Kujo Takayuki's order and fighting a defensive battle is obviously a more reliable option than a tough confrontation.

However, the shogunate's Tenryo Bugyo didn't care about this, so Kujo Sara thought about it and felt that it didn't matter.

Kamisato Ayaka doesn't know much of the truth.

Kamisato Ayato knew a lot, but he didn't intend to let his sister get involved.

If you don't know some things, you won't have any emotions about them, but once you know them, it will be very troublesome. Being unhappy is a problem, and wanting to calm down when you are unhappy is another trouble.

But behind Kamisato Ayaka stands Yaezawa God. This time she arrived at the front line in person to act as a messenger because of Yaezawa God's request.

Yae Kamiko unveiled most of the veil for Kujo Sara and told him the nature of the war on Kaijima Island.

The most important thing is that Kujo Sara knew the truth behind the Eye Hunting Order.

Of course Kujo Sora believed in the Eightfold Divine Son.

There was no need to lie about this, and based on her own experience on the front lines, Kujo Takayuki was truly capable of doing such a thing.

When he thought about the persistence for such a long time, the indifference to those innocent people, and even the unnecessary damage to the shogunate's front-line troops, which were actually all due to Kujo Takayuki's momentary thought, Kujo Sara could only have a cold face, but there was nothing he could do.

Not to mention settling accounts with Kujo Takayuki, the other party, sitting in Inazuma Castle, could control the shogunate troops on the front line to exclude her from the military system.

In name she was a general, but in reality she was out of control of Kujo Takayuki's orders, and the number of people she could mobilize was too small.

Kujo Sara had many opportunities to cultivate her own confidants, but she never did anything like this.

She didn't think it was necessary.

However, when she needed help, she really couldn't find many people to hire.

Without the surname Kujo, she really wouldn't be able to command the troops on the front line.

These deputy generals and the like were not afraid of Kujo Sara, after all, Kujo Takayuki was standing behind them.

Now that things have come to this point, Kujo Sara really has no intention of continuing to run the business.

She wanted to be responsible for the life and death of these soldiers, but the military's management model was layered upwards. She wanted to bypass the generals to reach the soldiers at the bottom, but these people might not recognize her as a general.

Furthermore, it was Kujo Takayuki and those who depended on him who provided supplies to the front-line troops.

Without money and fame, the lower-level soldiers could not recognize her as the boss.

She was at the front for too short a time.

Such a short period of time can only allow her to become slightly familiar with military affairs. As for having specific contact with lower-level officers and soldiers, the time is simply not enough.

Furthermore, many people already know that Kujo Sara and Kujo Takayuki had a quarrel.

Anyone who wants to get promoted can only shake his head when considering the gap between a Tenryo Bugyo and a shogun.

After all, Kujo Sara is the adopted daughter of Kujo Takayuki. They had conflicts among themselves, but then they turned around and reconciled out of family affection.

You wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the two sides to gain power, but when you turned around, you found that the father and daughter had recovered.

This is more than just a matter of time, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Apart from his strength, Kujo Sara has nothing that makes the lower-level soldiers trust him.

She has no money and no manpower, and she is fighting with her adoptive father, Tenryo Bugyo of Inazuma. Everyone has to worry about what to do if they make up.

After all, they are still relatives.

Once the conflict is resolved, Kujo Sara will still be the general of the shogunate, but what about you?

So in the end, the only thing she could use and rely on was actually one thing.

"You really shouldn't have done nothing to prepare."

Kujo Sara sighed softly.

The reason why she lost was not complicated. When she should have made preparations, she chose to ignore it.

When she really needed a sword, she didn't have it, so she was defeated.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Qing shook his head and felt a little more cheerful.

Fortunately, reality is different from anime. When Kujo Sara realized that he was about to lose, although he fell into memories, he did not have a memory-killing effect.

Her strength did not suddenly increase because of her memories, and she did not press Jiang Qing and Wu Lang to the ground and rub them.

Jiang Qing won in the end.

"who are you?"

Kujo Sara asked.

The war ended when the blade was against her neck.

The frontline troops were defeated.

This result cannot be said to be within Kujo Sara's expectations, but in fact it is not much different.

The weaker party suddenly launched an attack. Kujo Sara of course knew that Coral Palace had already gained control of the situation.

Corresponding to this is the chaos on their side.

The retired emperor was in charge of the frontline troops in Inazuma Castle, but his award for leading the troops was taken away by his own generals. He was also stabbed in the back by the Fatui, so it was not unfair that he lost the battle.

But what she couldn't understand was that Jiang Qing stopped.

She originally thought that she might be hunted on the battlefield. After all, looking at Jiang Qing's appearance at the beginning, she really didn't think that this person would hold back.

She thought she was going to die.

If he had known that Jiang Qing would hold back, Kujo Sara would not have held back.

Given the hatred between her and the rebels, death is actually a good outcome.

Jiang Qing was quite fierce at first, but when she held back, Jiang Qing also held back.

"It's a bit hard to protect you, Miss General."

Jiang Qing smiled.

Killing generals and capturing flags have special meanings in this world.

It's not just that we lost the highest command system, the key is that the generals on both sides were originally restraining each other.

Without the ability to restrain one's opponent, a powerful holder of the Eye of God would have the opportunity to influence the course of the war.

After Kujo Sara was controlled, the front-line army collapsed.

In Kujo Takayuki's estimation, this was also an incomprehensible mistake.

No matter what, with a group of personal guards protecting him, how could he not escape even if he couldn't win?

First there was internal strife, and then Jiang Qing got a chance because he was determined to fight.

After Jiang Qing "captured" the rare Shogunate general, most of the guards around him looked respectful.

But the look he gave Kujo Sara was always filled with hatred.

In war, the general who takes the lead and captures the enemy general alive is naturally worthy of respect.

But Kujo Sara is an absolute enemy.

They were waiting for Jiang Qing's decision.

Kujo Sara will either be Jiang Qing's prey or be handed over to the rebel leaders for execution.

In short, these soldiers actually thought she was dead.

But in fact, Jiang Qing really didn't dare to let Kujo Sara die.

He didn't care about what Kujo Takayuki thought, but he had to consider the general's opinion.

It is hard to say what Lei Dianying thinks of Kujo Sara, but General Lei Dian should have regarded her as someone who can be used.

"You want me to live?" Kujo Sara said sarcastically, "Don't dream. The shogunate will not make any compromises because of me."

"I have no intention of gaining any benefit from Kujo Takayuki."

Jiang Qing shrugged.

He looked up and saw heavy rain pouring down.

This area has always had this kind of horrible weather, and it requires a special task to dispel it.

But if Ying doesn't come, I don't know who will be the lucky one.

"I even think that your failure is what he wants." He said casually, "After all, the value of an adopted daughter is limited. If you lose this battle and one of his sons turns the tide, he should be able to take over directly, right?"

Kujo Sara was slightly stunned.

She had really lost the most basic trust in Kujo Takayuki, so even if Jiang Qing's guesses were just made up, she was willing to consider their credibility.

The answer is, of course, you can believe it.

"So if I choose to retreat, I will still fail."

The front-line army needs a failure. Only when facing a bad environment will people yearn for the birth of a hero.

"And as long as I fail, he can send his son to take over the military command and then counterattack the rebels."

Kujo Sara was surprisingly able to accept it.

Jiang Qing followed her thoughts and continued to write the script, "In contrast, your tragic failure, Miss General, and the glorious victory of another person will make the other person's victory seem even more precious."

It is because Kujo Sara was an outstanding general that the success of another person seems more precious.

"Since this military achievement is so precious, it is only natural to confer a higher title and promotion."

Jiang Qing nodded, moved by the script that he and Kujo Sara had improvised.

"Interesting, maybe he really did that?"

It's not impossible.

This is a kind of self-confidence that is based on completely disregarding the rebels as human beings.

It is because of the confidence that one can easily defeat the rebels that one can treat failure and success as chess pieces and place them down without hesitation.

But it’s nothing that the old thief could have imagined failure.

A defeat in one's own hands can only be described as a retreat to advance or a strategic shift, which is a good foundation for future achievements.

But this time, Kujo Sara's defeat was not a strategic shift, but a real and complete defeat.

If he could even predict the shogunate's disastrous defeat, then this person would be too troublesome.

It was really beyond expectation that the rebels would win.

Even though the front-line army was in such chaos, as long as Kujo Sara was willing to give in and hold off the rebels' attack a little, he would be able to react and suppress them with all his might.

But Kujo Sara did not cooperate.

She was determined to fight, and the generals who had already determined that Kujo Sara had betrayed Tenryo Fukyo wanted to go against her.

This is a habit.

Months of continuous confrontation have made them accustomed to opposing Kujo Sara's claims.

A very common situation.

When a person opposes you, it is not because he has carefully thought about it and weighed the pros and cons, but simply because the opposing positions of both parties make him habitually oppose all your opinions.

It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, what matters is that you proposed it, so I can't support it.

This habitual targeting eventually brought about disastrous consequences, the collapse of the shogunate, and this group of people had a great influence on Kujo Sara's lip service.

Coupled with the Fatui's backstabbing, the frontline troops collapsed faster than anyone expected.

Even Coral Palace Xinhai did not expect this.

The best case scenario she had anticipated was that Kujo Sara would be captured alive, the frontline army would be slightly in chaos, and the remaining generals and soldiers would retreat.

Reorganize the remaining troops, and then use the shogunate's reserve forces to continue to maintain steady progress, and then wait for support from the rear to counterattack.

I never expected that there would be no remnants of the defeated army.

The rebels gained an advantage and prepared for the second step of the plan.

However, the reality was that the front-line army was in chaos and then defeated, and the remaining generals had no energy to organize the remnants, and they ran faster than these defeated troops.

The commanding general was captured alive, the remaining generals fled, and the remaining soldiers were even more helpless and had no idea what to do.

For this group of people, Coral Palace Xinhai naturally chose to detain them on the spot.

If it were before, she would have no choice but to kill these people.

It is impossible for them to surrender. Anyone who has a basic understanding of Ming Shen knows that the resistance army has no future.

The God of Teyvat really exists, and this is the most fundamental surprise of the existence of faith.

Compared to the gods that people put aside and can only survive in the form of clay sculptures and statues, the gods here are real and have the power to shake mountains and seas.

Those who join the resistance are only the unlucky ones who have no choice but to die if they don't resist.

They have no choice, so they embark on this dark path.

The idea of ​​making a profit at the same time as breaking even has always been the norm among the soldiers within the resistance army.

Since it is impossible for them to surrender, the rebels' rations are not enough to feed these people, and they cannot be allowed to go back and continue to cause trouble for the rebels, so they can only be killed on the spot.

But things are different now.

The heart of the Coral Palace is for survival.

There is no value in killing these low-level soldiers. She would rather bear the heavy pressure and protect these people.

This also made Kujo Sara more vigilant.

The rebels killed them all, which she could understand.

But after the rebellion was suppressed, the people of Haizhi Island were still willing to support a group of surrendered soldiers who would never surrender and had plenty of energy to cause trouble. She couldn't understand this.

These people seemed to have surrendered. In a couple of days, if Kujo Takayuki sent a general to shout, they would immediately return to the banner of the shogunate.

Don't even mention supervising them. Even if you cut off their hands holding the knife, they will still have to stand up with the sword in their teeth when it's time to resist.

The shogunate's soldiers also had relatives, and they lived in a peaceful area in the rear.

Assuming they really surrender to the enemy, the lucky ones will bear the shame, while the worst ones will just have to restart the game.

No matter what, relatives are always a means to control generals and even soldiers at the front.

There was no way they could actually betray Narukami.

The person who keeps these people is either crazy or has other motives.

······
"It's so hard to see you, Miss Kujo."

Coral Palace Xinhai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never thought that one day we would be able to sit at a negotiating table and talk about something."

Her smile was quite gentle, without any sharpness.

Kujo Sara thought he would see a slightly domineering or hateful face, but Coral Palace's heart was unexpectedly calm.

It was as if all the fighting over the past few months was just a game.

"I haven't thought about it either." Kujo Sara sighed, "To be honest, I thought the only time we could talk was when one of us died."

"Ah, I never thought that the resistance army could actually win such a great victory."

Coral Palace Xinhai shook his head and said, "It was all just luck."

This was not a simple defensive victory.

Most of the rebels' victories were actually close to resisting the enemy's attacks.

To defeat the enemy's offensive is victory.

And this time, it was a real strategic victory.

The front-line troops have completely lost their value. If it weren't for the audience with the general, all of these people would have died.

This blow completely wiped out most of the shogunate's military reserves. Even if Kujo Takayuki was still able to raise an army, the shogunate still suffered immeasurable losses.

But Coral Palace's heart concealed Jiang Qing and his own involvement, and simply put the blame on Xingyun, without mentioning their various plans at all.

But Kujo Sara didn't believe it at all.

"Luck?" Kujo Sara raised his voice, then lowered it again, "Maybe."

There is indeed an element of luck.

The chaos within the shogunate was either due to Kujo Takayuki's little tricks and long-distance micro-manipulation of "the advantage is mine", or the sudden backstab by the Fatui.

Frankly speaking, Kujo Sara himself didn't understand how these people got into such a mess.

She just wanted to investigate the traces of the Fatui within the Frontline Army, and then the entire Frontline Army collapsed... Do the Fatui have such an influence on the Frontline Army?

"Let's talk frankly, Miss Kujo Sara." Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and didn't care about Kujo Sara's reaction.

"I can talk to you from the beginning of this war. I can tell you anything you want to know."

"I don't intend to wipe out all the frontline troops."

She paused, her voice soft, "I hope to end the hatred."

Jiang Qing, who was sitting next to her, subconsciously glanced at the girl's eyes and eyebrows that were as gentle as spring water.

This young lady from Coral Palace looks really beautiful when she smiles, her hair trembles slightly, she looks beautiful and gentle.

She seemed to sincerely want to bury the hatchet - but that wasn't the case.

Before the meeting with Kujo Sara, Coral Palace Xinhai spent a night calming down in his own nest.

Jiang Qing, who was instigated by the witch to deliver food, was even beaten up for disturbing her thoughts on the future of Kaizhi Island.

If she had a choice, she really wanted to kill Kujo Sara with one sword.

Even if Kujo Sara was used by others, she killed countless Kaijima people on the battlefield, and this is a true record.

Just because someone took advantage of me, does that mean the murder doesn't count?

But I really can’t kill him.

The shogun was on the side of the shogunate.

The weaker party can only be cautious and use every chess piece in hand to gain greater advantage.

Coral Palace Xinhai didn't know how valuable Kujo Sara was in the eyes of the general. Because she didn't know, she decided to be patient.

She didn't want to take any risky actions out of hatred.

Goro didn't even want to show up.

He needs to reiterate this truth to every middle-level and even senior general - when you are weak, you can be killed if you don't care about survival, but if you want to live, you have to endure.

The principle is very simple. As long as you take them to the narrow space of Wuxiang Blade, every person with a fierce look like a King Kong will instantly lower his head and stop talking.

This is not the power of nature, but the power of God.

When He cares about mortals, mortals should also show Him enough respect.

And if He doesn't care, then we can only pray for fate to favor us.
