I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 680 Murong Longcheng Yanziwu

"Brother Yuwen is right. Our Xianbei alliance is now strong and well-equipped, and we also have the support of Shamanism and Tantric Buddhism. What is there to fear?"

"Although the Jurchen alliance is powerful, we can definitely defeat them if we use the right strategy."

Murong Jun echoed, saying that their Murong Xianbei clan had also secretly cultivated considerable power.

Even recently, after Murong Longcheng returned to the Murong clan of Xianbei after traveling south to the Central Plains to learn martial arts, the internal forces under his command made rapid progress.

"It is good that the two Khans are aware of this. Now that the Xianbei Alliance has made full preparations, it should formulate a battle plan as soon as possible."

"Although the Jurchen alliance has suffered heavy losses, their foundation remains. If they are given enough time to mobilize the troops of various small tribes, the pressure on the two of them will likely be just as great."

Jia Xu nodded slightly; he was merely offering a reminder.

In his view, both Yuwen Yong of the Yuwen clan and the three Murong brothers of the Murong clan can be considered outstanding talents in their respective regions.

Since they were aware of the situation and had even made preparations in advance, he naturally didn't need to pay any more attention.

He had already spoken; whether others listened or not was their business. Jia Xu was never a nanny-like strategist.

He was only responsible for offering advice; the final outcome depended entirely on the fate of others.

They were willing to follow his plans completely, at the very least they could save their lives.

Those who refuse to listen to him can be beaten to death, as long as Jia Xu himself isn't implicated.

"Mr. Jia is absolutely right. We must seize the time and crush the Jurchen alliance in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, if we are dragged into a war of attrition by the Jurchen alliance, we will probably be the first to give out."

Upon hearing Jia Xu's casual reminder, Yuwen Yong's expression turned serious.

Unfortunately, these powerful rulers rose to prominence far too late.

After they were born, the space and human resources on the grasslands had already been almost completely divided up by the three major alliances.

After gathering together numerous small tribes on the grasslands, the population of the three major alliances was overwhelmingly superior to that of the current Xianbei alliance.

Fortunately, they had only recently conquered these small tribes. If they were to conscript a large number of troops from these tribes, it could easily cause a mutiny.

Otherwise, once these small tribes are conscripted, each tribe will contribute a small number of soldiers.

The number of archers that the Jurchen alliance could mobilize was several times, or even more than ten times, that of the Xianbei alliance!

Therefore, in this battle between the Xianbei alliance and the Jurchen alliance, they must act quickly.

Once the Jurchen alliance has absorbed these small tribes, they will have no ability to resist when faced with overwhelming military superiority.

Unless Murong Chui, a Saint-level commander, suddenly goes into overdrive and wins several incredible battles where tens of thousands annihilate hundreds of thousands, he basically has no chance.

But the key point is that the Aisin Gioro clan and Wanyan clan on the other side are no pushovers either, so how could they possibly give Murong Chui this opportunity?

Perhaps one person alone might not be a match for Murong Chui, but the Aisin Gioro clan is just too prolific!

The key point is that the Aisin Gioro clan had many sons, and quite a few of them were capable of being used.

If one of us is no match for you, Murong Chui, can't we all attack together?

...

As night deepened, the candlelight remained bright in the Xianbei alliance's tent, where Murong Jun and Murong Longcheng sat facing each other at the table.

Outside the tent, the wind howled, seemingly foreshadowing an impending battle, while inside, the scene was quite different.

"Longcheng, how's the progress of 'Swallow's Nest,' which you've been so busy with lately?"

Murong Jun asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

In the upcoming war with the Jurchen alliance, in addition to the direct military confrontation, the covert struggles will be equally crucial.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, 'Yanziwu' has already taken shape. It has not only gathered many demonic masters and villains from the Central Plains, but also secretly won over many shamans and priests from within the Xianbei Shamanism. Whether for profit or ideology, they are all willing to serve us."

Murong Longcheng smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Jun raised an eyebrow, clearly pleasantly surprised by the result.

He was well aware of the position of shamanism in the hearts of the Xianbei people, and being able to infiltrate it would undoubtedly add an important piece to the Murong Xianbei's chess pieces.

"Exactly. Moreover, in Longcheng's vision, the future 'Yanziwu' will not only be a simple Jianghu (martial arts world) force, but also a dual intelligence and operations organization."

"Swallows are light and agile, able to fly high to scout and swoop low to catch prey. This is exactly what we need—to gather intelligence and act swiftly to strike at the heart of the matter."

Murong Longcheng nodded, his tone calm and composed.

"Swallow's Nest..."

"A good name! It signifies that our Murong Xianbei intelligence network is as omnipresent as a swallow, and also implies that our actions will be as precise and swift as a swallow catching its prey."

Murong Jun murmured the name, seemingly savoring its profound meaning.

"You flatter me, Great Khan. In fact, the establishment of 'Yanziwu' was based on my profound understanding of the martial arts world in the Central Plains and the Xianbei shamanism."

"Those demonic practitioners in the Central Plains, though not tolerated by the world, each have their own strengths. If we make good use of them, they can become a powerful force against the Jurchen shamanism."

"As for the Xianbei shamanism, it is also a mixed bag. As long as we offer enough benefits, there will naturally be people willing to serve us."

Murong Longcheng waved his hand and smiled modestly.

"So, in your opinion, is the current strength of 'Yanziwu' enough to contend with the Jurchen Shamanism?"

Murong Jun's gaze suddenly sharpened; this was the issue he was most concerned about.

"In a head-on confrontation, we may not be able to fully confront the Jurchen Shamanism, but if we fight covertly, using our intelligence advantage and flexibility, 'Yanziwu' will be a headache for them."

"Moreover, don't forget that we have the support of the Yuwen clan and the Buddhist Tantric sect on the grasslands. Their Buddhist teachings and shamanistic magic each have their own merits. If they complement each other, they will surely produce unexpected results."

Murong Longcheng pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Although he was full of confidence in Yanziwu, which he had founded, he was not so foolish as to think that Yanziwu, a newly established force, was enough to go head-to-head with the behemoth that was the Jurchen Shamanism.

"With your words, I am relieved."

"Longcheng, you are not only exceptional in martial arts, but also in wisdom. With you here, we, the Murong Xianbei, should have no worries in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Murong Jun's brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Brother, the power of Jurchen shamanism is indeed strong, but we don't need to be too afraid."

"Although shamanism is mysterious, it is not invincible. Many of the experts in our Yanziwu are skilled in assassination and surprise attacks, which can help us counter them."

Murong Longcheng nodded, his expression turning serious.
