Chapter 401 Let Phoenix City Be in Chaos!

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also stare into you.

When Shen Wuxiang treated Luban Mountain as a piece of fat meat, they stepped into this huge slaughterhouse.

One Luban Mountain, 100,000 troops fill it.

This is a famous proverb under the galaxy.

Everyone knows that the Lu family is very powerful and Luban Mountain is unfathomable.

But how powerful is it?

No one knows.

After all, no one would take the initiative to provoke such a behemoth.

Even if there is friction between them, it is only in politics, in the military, and in the business world, and they will not go to the Lu family's nest to stir up trouble.

This is a test.

It is also the first time that the old house of the Lu family has been sieged and attacked.

It must be said that Shen Wuxiang's test was successful:

The Lu family is indeed very powerful, and Luban Mountain is indeed unfathomable.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

No, it was shocking.

Countless people and various forces had to re-examine this family that had been almost suppressed to dust in the past 20 years, and reconsider whether the relationship between them was dangerous.

A thousand-year-old family with a deep foundation.

Military Committee.

As the first commander and direct leader of this battle, Shen Wuxiang learned the news at the first time, his face was gloomy and he remained silent for a long time.

Shen Wuxiang did not speak, and other senior generals did not speak either.

They sat there with their spines straight, their eyes looking at their noses, their noses looking at their hearts, as if they had nothing to do with this matter at all.

Guo Nu, director of the Security Bureau, was also invited to attend the meeting as an intelligence collector. He looked around the faces of the people around him, opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth tactfully.

No one else said anything, why did he jump out and touch this brow?

Unfortunately, what you fear will come true.

"More than 30,000 people from the three ace brigades of Fire Fox, White Wolf and 722 went in, and there was not even a splash?" Shen Wuxiang stared at Guo Nu with his majestic and deep eyes and asked.

When they were fighting outside, there was still artillery fire, and the whole Phoenix City could hear the sound.

After entering the mountain, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and all the people were wiped out silently.

You don't even know how they died.

Who can you go to for justice?

He wanted to test them and use them as pawns.

But you have to test a result.

You have to let people know to what extent these more than 30,000 people can fight them, how much they have lost

How many more troops can be invested to take them down?

It seems that everything has been done, and it seems that nothing has been done.

It seems that his strategic goals have been achieved, and it seems that nothing has been achieved.

This is a feeling that makes people feel very depressed and powerless.

Guo Nu swallowed his saliva and explained: "The battlefield recorders they carried with them lost their signals instantly after entering Luban Mountain. We tried our best to rescue them and try to seize control of these devices."

"But, you also know that our technology and equipment are far inferior to those of the Lu family. So, until the end, we couldn't get the battle scene on the scene."

"Where did you spend the tens of billions of Galaxy coins allocated to your Security Bureau every year? Why is the technology and equipment still far inferior to that of the Lu family?"

"."

Guo Nu didn't dare to respond, let alone refute.

He knew that the military minister was angry at this time.

His questioning was just to vent his anger.

Because he knew better than everyone present that the Lu family's far-leading technology and technology could not be closed and made up for in decades or tens of billions of Galaxy coins every year.

That was thousands of years of technology accumulation, after generations of inheritance and innovation by the Lu family.

No matter how fast the ants build towers, they are born giant elephants.

When the Lu family was playing with machinery, you were still playing with mud.

"Military Prime Minister, calm down. Director Guo has done his best. This battle is not a war crime." Military Commission member Wang Daolong stood up to plead for Guo Nu. After all, the two of them have a good personal relationship.

"Not a war crime, what's the problem?"

"It's a technical victory, a mechanical crushing." Wang Daolong looked at Shen Wuxiang, speaking for Guo Nu, and even more so for Shen Wuxiang.

After all, Wang's army was defeated, and Shen Wuxiang, the initiator, was quite embarrassed.

That's it?

"As everyone knows, the Lu family is the descendant of Lu Ban, the ancestor of machinery. They have thousands of years of technological advantages. The latest weapons and equipment they have developed are privately kept and will not be provided to the military at all."

"Every time they are forced by us, they take them out little by little like squeezing toothpaste. But what we get may be the weapons they developed decades or even hundreds of years ago."

"How to fight this? Our soldiers entered Luban Mountain, and they directly set up a signal shield. The combat recorder disappeared, and the command system collapsed."

"The general can't command the soldiers. Soldiers, soldiers can't receive orders, everyone is like a headless fly. Then they are being pressed and rubbed. How can they fight back? "

"Yes, the Lu family is too cunning."

"The Lu family is ambitious, I'm afraid they have rebelled long ago."

"They have been prepared for a long time, otherwise why would they hide technology and equipment?"

"Is the Lu family still the Lu family of the empire? Is Luban Mountain still the territory of the empire?"

"This matter is not over. If 30,000 is not enough, we will send 50,000, and if 50,000 is not enough, we will send 100,000. If it really doesn't work, erase Luban Mountain from the star map."

——

Shen Wuxiang is the nominal chairman of the Military Commission and the number one in the military. Everyone stood up to speak for him.

No matter what, the leader should not be blamed.

This battle is the enemy's fault.

If their technology is not too advanced, their equipment is too sophisticated, their fighting is too cunning, and their minds are too gloomy,

How could we lose?

Shen Wuxiang looked around, sighed softly, and said: "I want to apologize to you, to the royal family, and to the people. I underestimated the enemy, which led to the sacrifice of 37,000 brave soldiers. I am sorry for them, and even more sorry for their families."

"Military Minister, don't say that."

"This is the result of the joint discussion of the Military Commission. If we want to apologize, we should all stand up and apologize together."

"Yes, the responsibility is borne by all members of our Military Commission. How can the military minister take it alone?"

"The military minister loves his soldiers like his own sons."

——

Guo Nu also wanted to echo and flatter, but in such an occasion he didn't even have the right to speak.

Shen Wuxiang bowed to everyone and said with emotion: "Thank you, I, Shen Wuxiang, will remember this favor."

Everyone was very satisfied with Shen Wuxiang's statement.

Although Shen Wuxiang was tough, he kept his word.

If he said he would remember this favor, then he would definitely remember it.

And he would definitely repay him several times in the future.

This is also the reason why he is still supported by so many people despite his unpleasant personality.

Rewards and punishments are clear, and interests are clearly divided. This is a rare good leader.

Some leaders are too greedy and can easily be pulled down by the people around them.

"I am the first commander, and naturally I am also the first person responsible for this defeat. Don't argue with me about this." Shen Wuxiang's tiger eyes were deep, and he looked heartbroken.

"But this also sounded the alarm for us. As Brother Daolong said just now, the Lu family has an absolute advantage in technology and equipment."

"Moreover, they are treated well by the royal family and respected by the people, but they do not want to serve the country, but hide technology, equipment, and the most fierce artillery fire."

"What do the Lu family want to do? Who are they hiding these against? Who are they aiming at?"

"I will go to the Phoenix Palace to plead guilty and ask for the punishment of the king. However, I will also denounce the cunning and viciousness of the Lu family and plead their harm to the empire."

"This is not a battle of one person, not a battle of one family, but a battle of one country."

"Everyone, we must eliminate the tumor and ensure the safety of the royal family and the empire."

"The military minister has worked hard."

"If necessary, I am willing to go with the military."

"Let's go together. No matter what, we must ask the king to stand up and say something."

"Yes, otherwise the more than 30,000 brave soldiers will die in vain."

——

Phoenix Palace

Zhong Daolong held a whiskey glass in his hand, with a look of astonishment on his face, and asked: "37,000 people were wiped out? Not a single one survived.?"

"Yes." Chen Fenglei stood in front of Zhong Daolong, so that he could focus on him. "Before the battle started, I sent a large number of worker bees to gather information around Luban Mountain, and we also had our messenger bees inside the three ace brigades."

"The early battle went smoothly. Under the fierce attack of the three ace brigades, the private soldiers of the Lu family lost more than 600 people and had no choice but to retreat."

"Now it seems that they are luring the enemy deep into the depths and showing weakness to the enemy. After bringing everyone into the hinterland of Luban Mountain, they began the encirclement mode."

"No battlefield images?"

"The Lu family used an advanced signal shielding system, and our people failed to break through it."

Chen Fenglei was ashamed, bowed deeply, and said: "I am incompetent, please punish me, Lord."

Zhong Daolong was silent. After a long silence, he sneered: "What a good Lu Qingshan, what a good Shen Wuxiang"

"Look, what kind of ministers are kept in the country?"

"One pushed the military committee's plan to send troops without asking for permission to force the emperor to abdicate"

"Another slaughtered more than 37,000 brave warriors of my empire at a disagreement"

"Do they still have the royal family in their eyes? Do they still have me as the king?"

"How can I hand over the country to them? How can I feel at ease?"

"Wait until Zhong Tianque takes over this mess, will anyone listen to him? Who will still regard him as the king of a country?"

"."

Chen Fenglei bowed his head and dared not speak.

Such a topic is too sensitive and stimulating.

It is said that the heart of a monarch is like the sea. If he was not too angry, Zhong Daolong would not scold the court officials in person.

If it is spread out carelessly, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Of course, Chen Fenglei must not let it spread out.

Because now there are only himself and Zhong Daolong in the room

"What did the Military Commission say? Shen Wuxiang won't give me an explanation?"

"They are in a meeting. I think the military minister should come to the king soon to apologize."

"Apologize?" Zhong Daolong sneered and said, "Are you trying to force me to stand up for him? He has suffered such a big loss, so he must find a way to get back at the court."

"This time, he will definitely expand the scale of the war. He will even let me stand in front of the national media to attack the Lu family in the name of the more than 30,000 soldiers who died in the war."

"This is their real purpose. Shen Wuxiang wants to tie the empire to his personal chariot."

"King, if you do this, the Lu family will completely become the enemy of the empire."

"Is there a better choice? If I don't stand up, how can I explain to the families of those 37,000 soldiers? How can I explain to the hundreds of millions of people?"

"Shen Wuxiang calculated this correctly, that's why he dared to force me like this."

"What if the king mediates at this time?" Chen Fenglei asked softly.

Originally, he shouldn't have said these words. He was the chief steward of the palace and did the dirty work for the royal family.

However, he was the only one under his nose, so he made his own suggestion.

"Mediation?" Zhong Daolong asked with murderous intent in his eyes: "Do you think the Shen family will give in? Or the Lu family will surrender? Which of them will listen to me?"

"."

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the wooden door of the room.

Chen Fenglei walked over and opened the door to the room. A palace guard stood at the door and reported in a low voice: "The military minister wants to see the king."

Chen Fenglei nodded and closed the door tightly again.

"The military minister is here." Chen Fenglei walked up to Zhong Daolong and said.

"Well." Zhong Daolong lowered his head and played with the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Just say that I am busy and let him wait for a while."

"Yes." Chen Fenglei said in a deep voice.

There are many ways for the Lord to exercise power, and leaving you alone is one of them.

After a pause, Zhong Daolong looked at Chen Fenglei and asked, "How are Dean Yan's preparations going?"

Chen Fenglei said with a smile, "Shall I ask?"

Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, when the time comes, he will close the net."

"Dean Yan has outstanding abilities, so there will be no problems." Chen Fenglei agreed.

Luojia Mountain. Bamboo sea.

Shen Xinglan is dressed in white, chic and elegant, like a banished immortal descending to earth.

With one strike of the sword, countless bamboo flowers drifted in the wind, as if it had snowed.

His figure flashed and he landed on the sea viewing platform.

Uncle Biao stepped forward and handed over a white cotton towel. Shen Xinglan took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Biao."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shen Boyu's face, and asked, "Why is the second grandpa here?"

"The three ace brigades of the Undead Army, Firefox White Wolf and 722, broke into the hinterland of Luban Mountain last night. The entire army was wiped out and no one was left alive." Shen Boyu said in a deep voice: "We lost."

Last night, the grandfather and grandson were still saying that there would be a result today, but they did not expect that the result was very different from what they expected.

They actually lost.

lose?

This word should not be in the Shen family's dictionary.

Shen Xinglan looked slightly shocked and said, "How dare the Lu family do this?"

The three ace brigades have a total of thirty to forty thousand soldiers, and these are all regular armies of the empire.

When the Lu family disagreed, they all were slaughtered.

Now, they have no choice but to commit treason.

They knew the consequences of doing so, but they still took this dangerous step. What exactly did they want to do?

What is their trump card?

"Who knows? Are they jumping over the wall in a hurry? Or are they fighting to the death? However, with the Lu family's forbearing style, isn't this too risky? They don't leave any escape route for themselves at all."

"What did grandpa say?" Shen Xinglan asked aloud.

"We just talked on the phone, and he said he was going to the Phoenix Palace to apologize."

Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows slightly, but the matter involved an elder, so he did not say anything in the end.

"What? You think it's inappropriate?"

"The reason why the royal family did not stop the use of troops against Luban Mountain is because they also wanted to see how strong the Lu family was. It would be great if we could fight with the Lu family endlessly and weaken each other."

"However, 30,000 to 40,000 people filled in, but nothing happened. We don't even know how they killed people."

"The man in the Phoenix Palace must be holding back a lot of anger right now. Grandpa rushes over at this time, I'm afraid it will anger him."

"Your grandfather also knows this truth, but he has no better choice. Now that the matter has come to this, someone has to step up and clean up the mess."

"Besides, people have already sacrificed their lives, so we have to get some benefits from other places."

"The Lu family's wanton killing of imperial soldiers was not done by ministers. They are secluded from the empire and from the world."

"So, what your grandfather means is to propose in the name of the Military Commission that the leader of the country should stand up and speak to the people of the country and publicly denounce the Lu family's heinous treasonous behavior."

Shen Xinglan sighed deeply and said, "When grandpa pushed the Lu family to a dead end, he also brought the Shen family to the cliff."

"That is a arrogant master. How could he endure being forced into the palace again and again?"

Shen Boyu naturally understood what Shen Xinglan meant, and he sighed loudly and said: "Success or failure depends on this one move. If we don't succeed, we will be benevolent. We have no choice."

Shen Xinglan looked down at the long sword in his hand and asked, "Second Grandpa, do you need me to take action?"

Shen Boyu waved his hand and said: "You are our trump card, how can you use it so quickly? Just rest, you will be in the spotlight in the future."

Shen Xinglan nodded and said nothing more.

He is obsessed with martial arts, and all he has to do is make himself stronger and stronger.

——

Ten miles of slope. A dilapidated factory building.

Tang Bandit's eyes flashed across the faces of the thirty men in black in front of him, and he said with a smile: "From now on, work in pairs. I don't care what method you use, I want to make Phoenix City completely chaotic. The more and more The messier the better.”

"Yes, Master." Everyone responded in unison.

These are all members of the Ghost Assassination Team. They are all descendants of the Tang family and have been trained and specially trained by Bai Wuxin.

Each of them can fight a hundred people, and their loyalty is beyond doubt.

"Thank you for your hard work. I believe that every drop of blood will not be shed in vain, and every person will not die in vain."

"Thank you, Master!"

After bowing, everyone turned around and left.

To fish in troubled waters.

This fire should burn as vigorously as possible.

Just like the fire in the Empire Square seventeen years ago.
