Chapter 332 - 162 Wu Family’s Planning, Miao Xingjian Is Having Some Regrets_1
Da Feng Dynasty, Chenguan Prefecture, Miao Family clan territory.
Inside the room where the Miao Family Head was.
At this moment, the current Family Head of the Miao Family, Miao Xingjian, dressed in a pale blue robe.
Was seated in silence in the main seat.
With his head slightly bowed, he was silent and uncommunicative.
His complexion seemed somewhat unsightly.
The atmosphere in the room also appeared somewhat oppressive.
It even made breathing gradually become somewhat difficult...
"Merely within the span of a few days, the Luo Family has taken over more than twenty cities?"
After a long silence, Miao Xingjian.
Suddenly asked the Great Elder of the Miao Family, who was dressed in a black robe, in a low voice.
The Great Elder of the Miao Family did not answer aloud.
He only quietly nodded his head.
As Miao Xingjian received his answer, the atmosphere in the room inevitably became even more oppressive.
If a single prefecture within Changping Prefecture was lost, so be it.
As long as their Miao Family could join forces with the Ke Family.
And divide up the territory of Changli Prefecture.
The Miao Family would not only make up for its own losses, but even gain substantial profit.
To trade one prefecture’s land for the land of three or even four prefectures.
One wouldn’t even need to think to know that this was a profitable exchange.
However, just a few days ago.
The situation seemed to have undergone a drastic change.
The Luo Family’s army, which had always been unable to break through Chenguan Prefecture’s border beyond it.
Unexpectedly, succeeded in forcefully opening the gates of Chenguan Prefecture.
And following the opening of Chenguan Prefecture’s gates.
After Luo Family took down the first fortified city within Chenguan Prefecture.
The entirety of Chenguan Prefecture’s land would be thoroughly exposed to the gaze of the Luo Family’s army.
To try and drive these people from the Luo Family out again.
Even, to return to the situation before the Miao Family joined forces with the Ke Family to attack Changli Prefecture.
Seemed to have become an impossible feat.
"How goes it at Changli Prefecture?"
After a long silence.
Miao Xingjian, seated in the main seat, asked the Miao Family Great Elder in front of him in a low voice again.
"Still stubbornly resisting..."
The Great Elder sighed lightly, then he looked up at the Family Head before him and said with a slight helplessness in his tone, "To forcefully open the gates of Changli Prefecture, or even to divide up the land of the entire prefecture... "
"It would take at least three more months."
...
The words of the Great Elder of the Miao Family.
Echoed slowly within the room.
Three months?
Huh, three months?
Hearing the Great Elder’s words.
A bitter smile couldn’t help but surface on Miao Xingjian’s face.
Three months from now, the opportunity would be cold.
Where would their Miao Family find so much time?
At this moment, the Luo Family, which occupied both Luo Mountain Prefecture and Changping Prefecture, boasted of an army of one million, and had successfully entered the territory of Chenguan Prefecture.
Within Chenguan Prefecture, more than twenty cities had already fallen into the hands of the Luo Family.
And what must be known is.
It took the Luo Family only a few days to achieve this feat.
If the Luo Family were given another three months to continue their attack.
Who knew whether the land of Chenguan Prefecture would still belong to the Miao Family?
"What about the Ke Family?"
"What does the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family say about this matter?"
After a moment of silence.
Miao Xingjian, seated in the main seat, once again spoke up to inquire.
The Great Elder of the Miao Family pondered for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Family Head, the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family has asked us to hold on for a while longer, if we can successfully open the gates of Changli Prefecture, they are willing to let us occupy four prefectures’ worth of land, taking only three for themselves..."
Hearing this.
Miao Xingjian’s brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.
"We get four prefectures? They get three?"
In order to take Changli Prefecture.
The Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture had already given up a prefecture’s worth of land within Changping Prefecture.
Even the gates of their stronghold, Chenguan Prefecture, had been forcefully opened by the Luo Family.
Moreover, within Chenguan Prefecture, the Luo Family had already occupied nearly the area of one prefecture.
For Changli Prefecture, the Miao Family had already paid dearly.
But the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family merely made a nonchalant promise, whose reliability was uncertain.
How was Miao Xingjian supposed to persist?
...
Not long after.
The Great Elder of the Miao Family left the room.
Experience tales at empire
Inside the room where the Family Head of the Miao Family remained.
Now, only the extremely silent Miao Xingjian was left.
To continue attacking Changli Prefecture...
Or to choose to fall back and defend?
At this moment, Miao Xingjian was contemplating this question in his mind.
If it were before the gates of Chenguan Prefecture had been forcefully opened by the Luo Family.
Miao Xingjian would have been more inclined to continue attacking Changli Prefecture.
But now.
The scales in Miao Xingjian’s heart seemed to have gradually tipped towards falling back to defend Chenguan Prefecture.
Damn it, if the stronghold was about to be lost.
What was the point of attacking Changli Prefecture?
Priority should clearly be on defending one’s home!
As for the so-called promise of the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family...
Who knew if their words would hold any weight?
...
So, after much thoughtful consideration by Miao Xingjian.
He ultimately gave up the idea of continuing to attack Changli Prefecture.
He also summoned back the armor-clad elite troops from the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture that were stationed near the border of Changli Prefecture. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As for the Luo Family’s large army within Chenguan Prefecture.
The Miao Family could now only do their best to defend.
And then, wait in silence for the return of that army.
If it really came to the worst...
The Miao Family might also have to opt to cede territory in exchange for enough time.
