Advantage Is Mine

Without looking back, he said, "Princess Jiu Jiu, I have already decided on the plan for the next stage of the war. Now, you need to convene a meeting and implement my plan within the allied forces. After all, you are still the marshal in name."

Xu Jiujiu sat behind him, looking at Xuan Zi with concern. "Elder Xuan, what exactly is your plan?"

She was truly worried that the other man's wild ideas would bring unforeseeable consequences to the allied forces. If not for the reclusive experts vital to the allied forces all following Xuan Zi now, effectively tying the allied forces' interests to his, she would not have lowered her head to him.

Xuan Zi said, "My plan is very simple. Put plainly, it is to lure the enemy into our encirclement and ambush them.

Ambushing Kong Deming, that great enemy, is especially important. As long as we can kill Kong Deming, the allied forces can reclaim the lost territory. Look, so much land belonging to the Star Luo Empire has been occupied by the Sun Moon Empire. Don't you want to take all that land back? Perhaps even lead the allied forces into Mingdu and establish an unparalleled achievement?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the map, radiating extreme confidence, as if victory were already in his grasp.

Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly. "Elder Xuan, could you make your plan more specific? This is war, not some trivial matter. Without a concrete plan, how are we supposed to carry it out?"

Xuan Zi patiently explained, "More specifically, we will spread word that I intend to seize command and launch a rebellion. As long as you present this as a plan during the meeting, the allied commanders will naturally agree to it and cooperate with my actions more openly.
