Chapter 183 War is for the Future
Huang Yu was overjoyed after receiving the token of the chief coach and the expectation of the Human King. He went directly to the military household officer and asked for the list of all the soldiers of Qianyan Army. After five sleepless days, he finally worked out a battle plan.
In the Human King's Palace, Gan Yu was massaging Zhu Yuncheng while asking, "Brother, do you have any plans for the expedition to Xumi in a year?"
"We won't bring too many soldiers for this flanking battle. Otherwise, once there are too many people, even the blind people in Xumi will be able to see and be prepared." Zhu Yuncheng squinted his eyes and enjoyed the massage from his junior sister. He said, "Huang Yu said 100,000 soldiers, but that's because he is young and frivolous. You will understand after you go back and study it carefully. I estimate that there are only 30,000 soldiers, and 10,000 of them are the steel beasts."
Gan Yu was puzzled: "But brother, with only 20,000 rock soldiers, can they cause any damage to the rear of Xumi? Xumi is a rain forest, hot and humid, and fire prevention is not possible."
Zhu Yuncheng grabbed Gan Yu's hand and rubbed it, then let go as if he had been electrocuted. "The purpose of going around the rear is not to cause great losses to the rear, but to disrupt the rear. It is enough to let the front know that they have such an army. If they turn around to fight, the front line will not be able to bear it. If they don't fight, the losses will gradually increase."
Ganyu thought: "If this is the case, the three demon gods of Xumi will definitely not sit idly by."
"Isn't that the time for me to make an appearance?" Zhu Yuncheng said with a smile, "Let Ruo Tuo take charge of the front line. Its strength far exceeds that of the Great Compassion Tree King of Xumi. With it, the Red King will also need to be at the front line. When the Great Compassion Tree King appears, I will be able to capture her."
Ganyu nodded: "Then how should we deal with Xumi? Will it be the same as Inazuma?"
"No, Inazuma is too far away from us, so we have to use this method to govern it. Xumi borders our Guili. After conquering Xumi, we must turn Xumi into our Guili's colony." Zhu Yuncheng said lightly.
"Colonies?" Gan Yu was puzzled. "Brother, you always say things that are hard to understand."
"The so-called colony is to destroy Xumi's culture and turn it into our own civilization. We will control all of Xumi's economic industries. The people of Xumi can only work for us, but they will not be able to set up factories and businesses on their own."
"This, isn't this slavery?" Ganyu whispered.
"This is not slavery. At least, I will give them the opportunity to freely choose where to work." Zhu Yuncheng gave a somewhat far-fetched explanation.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Suddenly a scream startled Zhu Yuncheng and Gan Yu. The latter immediately let go of the hands that were massaging Zhu Yuncheng and stepped aside. The former stood up and looked, only to see Dao Guizhong and Zaoshen coming in with smirks on their faces.
Zhu Yuncheng coughed awkwardly twice: "Sister Guizhong, Kitchen God, why are you two here?"
"I came here mainly to ask you if you still remember the sealing thing you talked about a few days ago?" Gui Zhong said, "You said at that time that you could seal us like you sealed Orobas. When will you do it?"
Seeing this question, Zhu Yuncheng became serious: "Sister Guizhong, God of the Kitchen, this matter is not urgent. There are still no less than ten demon gods on the continent of Teyvat. Let me seal more demon gods and practice before talking about it."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Gui Zhong's eyes: "So, Yongle, you still want to continue fighting, right?"
Zhu Yuncheng frowned slightly: "Sister Guizhong, what do you mean by this?"
"Almost half a million people have died, are you still going to continue fighting?" Gui Zhong continued, "You are so quick. I broke the news six months ago, and you caught all those who knew the news within less than a day after you came back."
"Sister Guizhong, you..." Zhu Yuncheng was confused for a moment. He did not expect that the source of Guili's anti-war thoughts that were gradually showing signs of emerging was actually Guizhong!
"Why is this, Sister Guizhong?"
Facing Zhu Yuncheng's question, Gui Zhong sighed: "I supported your idea of conquest earlier, but until half a year ago, the loss of 400,000 Qianyan soldiers in Xumi made me start to rethink. We, Guili, have occupied such a large area of land, at least more than twice as large as Guili before the Demon God War began. I think our Guili is enough.
As long as we withdraw the troops from Wu Yu Chou Lin, Xu Mi will not attack. We will defend Gui Li until the war with the demons ends soon. If we continue to fight like this, I don’t know how many people Gui Li will have in the future.”
Listening to Gui Zhong's explanation, Zhu Yuncheng felt extremely complicated for a moment.
Seeing this, the Kitchen God also advised: "Yongle, I think Guizhong is right. Our territory is already large enough. There is no need to expand it any further. It will only do harm and no good."
Zhu Yuncheng was silent for a while and then asked: "What about the Emperor? Have you told the Emperor about this?"
Gui Zhong did not answer, but said: "Yongle, you are the human king appointed by the emperor. If too many Gui Li people are killed or injured, you will fail the emperor's expectations of you."
Zhu Yuncheng said directly: "Sister Guizhong, you are guilty. It seems that the Emperor does not agree with your opinion."
Seeing Gui Zhong remain silent, Zhu Yuncheng waved his hand and exerted the power of yin and yang, which were crisscrossed horizontally and vertically to form a chessboard, which was displayed in front of the demon god and the man.
"I know, Sister Guizhong, this is for the good of the people of Guili, but have you ever thought about the future?"
"The future?" Gui Zhong was a little confused.
Zhu Yuncheng sat cross-legged and said, "Sister Guizhong, look, I put a small ball of light on the first grid to represent a grain of rice, and then put two grains of rice on the second grid, and four grains of rice on the third grid. Then, Sister Guizhong, how many grains of rice should be put in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grids?"
As Zhu Yuncheng finished his words, corresponding spots of light appeared on the chessboard in front of him.
The Kitchen God and Ganyu watched from the side, and Gui Zhong said, "Sixteen grains, thirty-two grains, sixty-four grains."
Zhu Yuncheng placed the light spots on the three squares one by one: "There are a total of sixty-four squares on this chessboard. Sister Guizhong, please calculate how many grains of rice are needed to fill these squares."
Guizhong said nothing, but kept calculating, and soon his brows were furrowed.
After seeing this, Gan Yu also began to count: "The seventh grid has 128 grains, the eighth grid has 256 grains, the ninth grid has 5112 grains, the tenth grid has 1,012 grains......"
As he continued to calculate this, Ganyu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
There are too many to count.
Gui Zhong's brows had already been knitted together, his eyes full of disbelief: "At first there was only one grain of rice, I didn't expect it to become so much later."
Zhu Yuncheng smiled and said, "It seems that Sister Guizhong has figured it out. In fact, this rice can also become the people of Guili. A grain of rice represents a couple. The couple has three children. After the three children grow up and get married, they each give birth to three children, a total of nine. Those nine children continue to live again.
If this continues, the number of people in Guili will continue to grow. Every additional person means one more mouth to feed. Although Guili has many fields, how many people can it support? In the grand scheme of things, we will have no worries about food within a thousand years, but what about after a thousand years?"
In the end, I was frightened by the huge number and didn't know how to answer.
