Chapter 187: The Terrifying Chu King of Hell
“The leeway he left you should be noted; he allowed the officers he captured to conflict with Du Shiqing's people, but no matter how the conflict unfolded, he always managed to protect himself. In this way, all the personal ties are centered around Chu Yang alone! In the end, that officer escaped, but Chu Yang also left an excellent military hint! If Chu King of Hell were to mobilize troops in the future, this army would undoubtedly be his first choice! After all, this officer is Wu Kuangyun, one of the top ten famous generals on the continent! This is especially noteworthy.”
“Have someone gather intelligence on Wu Kuangyun's military habits; analyze diligently day and night. If one day, when the two armies confront each other, he suddenly changes his military habits and becomes bizarre, then mobilize our troops and spare no effort to annihilate them! Because at that time, it must be Chu King of Hell leading the charge!”
“Understood!” Han Buchu wiped his sweat.
“Next, as step three, enter the city and establish the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion! Iron Dragon City actually went there in person. Why? Is it truly just for the name 'Heavenly Weapon'?” Diwu Qingrou's gaze deepened: “Iron Dragon City's visit is merely Chu Yang leaving leeway for the group that ambushed Du Shiqing. Iron Dragon City wants to meet someone who can quietly and single-handedly defeat Wu Kuangyun, that's all.”
“Afterwards, the fourth step is to take control of the butian pavilion; although we don't know what happened inside, the sudden takeover of the butian pavilion cannot be separated from Iron Dragon City and Du Shiqing's contributions! Iron Dragon City values talent and gives back in kind, because if the ambush incident were to break out, given Tie Butian's temperament, Iron Cloud would inevitably lose a general! And Du Shiqing, due to admiration, would surely spare no effort to speak well of Chu Yang in front of Tie Butian.”
“This is the initial four steps of Chu Yang! Four steps to heaven, manipulating human nature!” Diwu Qingrou stated solemnly: “At this point, the first target of Chu King of Hell has reached a conclusion.”
“Then his second target is the butian pavilion?”
“No; his second target is discipline.” Diwu Qingrou replied: “He first used thunderous means to root out all our undercover agents placed in the butian pavilion.”
“His thought process relies on carefulness and reverse deduction. He pushes from results to the front, then identifies things that the vast majority would recognize, and overturns them! That’s how he identified the spies!” Diwu Qingrou chuckled lightly: “Saying it is easy, but doing it is incredibly difficult.”
“Indeed, when the Golden Horse Knights Hall scattered spies under the heavens, the method they employed was to adopt a strategy that most people would recognize, ensuring the safety of the spies… Chu King of Hell's actions precisely hit the weak point.” Han Buchu contemplated slowly.
“Exactly. Therefore, after he disciplined the butian pavilion, he then dealt with the spies, using the blood of our people to initially establish his authority! This was when he began to feign mystery, donning a black robe mask, and rumors started flying…”
“And these rumors served to preempt the current actions of the Kong Throne and the Shadow Throne. This means that at that time, this Chu King of Hell had already seen the weaknesses of Iron Cloud and made clear arrangements, all to set up a foundation for his future supremacy…”
“At that time, however, your calculations only saw a joke. We all know that Chu Yang is Chu King of Hell; no matter how much he sets up schemes, that cannot be changed. But you overlooked that in all specific circumstances, this originally unrealistic scheme could bring about earth-shattering changes!”
“And the actions of the two thrones during this time were misled by such rumors! It’s unclear, did the two thrones not know the identity of Chu King of Hell when they set out? Yet why the doubts at the critical moment? All of this was a trap and psychological warfare that Chu King of Hell had arranged in advance!”
