Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Xue Tianhan used special tools to take out the spirit flesh, cut it into small pieces, and distributed it to everyone.

Xiao Qi couldn't wait to take a piece and put it in his mouth. His eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of intoxicated expression: "It's so delicious. This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten. Tianhan, your cooking skills are really getting better and better!"

Qingluan also took a bite, a satisfied smile on her face. After savoring it carefully, she said, "The meat is tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth. This meat stewed in flames is indeed extraordinary.

I also feel that the spiritual energy contained in this meat is even more abundant, and it may even be more effective in nourishing our spirits and souls. The meat before already had the effect of warming and nourishing our spirits and souls, and this time it will definitely be more obvious."

Xue Tianhan also nodded and said, "Indeed, the quality of the meat stewed with these two powerful flames seems to have reached a new level."

Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang also tasted a piece each, and both showed surprise on their faces.

When Xiao Hei saw the meat being separated, his eyes instantly lit up like two black gems. He swiftly rushed over and bit down on a larger piece of meat. A satisfied snort escaped from the corner of his mouth, "This large piece of meat belongs to me. No one else can take it away from me!"

When Little Yellow saw this, he barked anxiously, jumping up and down around Little Black, wagging his tail wildly, his eyes full of resentment: "Woof! Woof! How did you get this? This piece of meat is obviously mine!"

As it said that, it seized the opportunity and pounced on Xiao Hei, trying to snatch the piece of meat from its mouth.

Xiao Hei dodged Xiao Huang's attack nimbly, mumbling incoherently, "Come and grab it if you can!"

Xiao Huang refused to give up and kept circling around Xiao Hei. He spotted a flaw in Xiao Hei, bit a corner of the meat and started pulling hard.

"Woo woo... Don't steal my meat!" Xiao Hei made a whimpering sound, but he was not willing to be outdone. He bit the meat tightly and started a fierce "tug of war" with Xiao Huang.

The fat from the meat flowed down the corners of their mouths, but neither of them was willing to let go.

Everyone watching this scene burst into laughter at the silly antics of the two little guys. The originally tense atmosphere instantly disappeared without a trace in this cheerful scene.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, a communication symbol with rapidly flashing light flew towards Xue Tianhan as fast as a meteor.

Xue Tianhan frowned slightly, and an indescribable ominous premonition surged in his heart. He reached out to take the communication talisman and probed his spiritual thoughts into it.

After a moment, his expression suddenly became solemn, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Qingluan keenly noticed Xue Tianhan's strangeness and asked softly with concern, "Friend Tianhan, what exactly happened?"

Xue Tianhan slowly raised his head and said in a heavy and low voice: “Feng Yi and Cao Cao and others have been expanding aggressively during this period of time and have occupied large tracts of land in the northern grasslands.

"Iron Horses and Ice Rivers, Rumenglai and Sun Quan, have successfully occupied Goguryeo since we drove them north to join forces with Feng Yi. Now that the surrounding areas of the country are about to be opened, they are stepping up efforts to expand their sphere of influence."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi was furious. He stood up abruptly and said with gritted teeth, "These guys! We drove Sun Quan's forces north earlier, and they still dare to act so arrogantly! They're clearly trying to challenge us!"

Madam Green Snake remained calm, analyzing with a penetrating gaze, "Feng Yi, Cao Cao, and also Iron Horse and Ice River Rumenglai and Sun Quan have always coveted the Liu Bei regime we support.

Their large-scale expansion this time must have been premeditated, intended to seize a favorable position in the opening up of surrounding areas.

However, we haven't been completely ineffective. We took the initiative and successfully occupied the southeastern region. Now that their attention is focused on expansion in the north, we can find another way out.

Hu Meiniang nodded slightly and agreed, "Sister Qing is absolutely right. Moreover, our strength has greatly increased. If we can find the right direction to expand, we will definitely achieve remarkable results.

I've heard that India, to the southwest, is vast and boundless, with abundant and diverse resources. Furthermore, its internal forces are scattered and constantly at odds. We might be able to seize this opportunity to march southwest and directly occupy it."

Qingluan's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This plan is feasible. The southwest is far from their sphere of influence. If we expand towards Tianzhu, they will be unable to take care of us for the time being.

Moreover, with our current strength, we are very confident that we can gain a firm foothold in Tianzhu and incorporate it into the territory of Liu Bei's regime."

Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "This is a matter of great importance to the overall situation. We need to discuss it with Lord Liu Bei, Mr. Zhuge, and others before making a decision. After all, everything we do is for the prosperity and development of Liu Bei's regime."

Afterwards, Xue Tianhan and others came to Liu Bei's meeting room, where Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had already been waiting.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals were also present, with serious expressions, obviously aware of the situation in the north.

Liu Bei's expression was serious, a hint of worry in his eyes. He said, "Master Xue, I've learned about the situation in the north. Feng Yi, Cao Cao, and the others, as well as Iron Horse and Ice River Rumeng, have been making frequent moves with Sun Quan and his men. It's really a headache. I wonder if you have any good plans for this trip?"

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and said, "My lord, Feng Yi, Cao Cao, Tie Ma Bing He Ru Meng Lai, and Sun Quan are busy expanding northward. We can seize this opportunity to develop southwestern Tianzhu and directly occupy it. Tianzhu is vast, rich in resources, and its internal forces are dispersed. It is a perfect opportunity."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, gently stroking his feather fan, and said with a deep and wise look, "This plan is indeed feasible. The southwest is far away from their sphere of influence. If we march towards India, we can avoid their sharp edge.

Moreover, our army is now much stronger and has enough capabilities to deal with various forces in India.

However, we must proceed with caution when marching into India. While we can directly occupy it, we must also consider how to govern it so that the people of India truly submit and serve Liu Bei's regime."

"What Kong Ming said is very true. Only by winning the hearts of the people with benevolence and righteousness and suppressing evil with force can we consolidate our foundation." Pang Tong added with a firm look.

Xiao Qi took Xue Tianhan's arm and said, "We are so powerful now. Let's just attack and see who dares to disobey! We should occupy it first, and we can slowly deal with the governance issues later."

Guan Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fairy Xiaoqi, you must be cautious when marching and fighting. Only by making plans before taking action can you be successful."

Zhang Fei also echoed in a gruff voice: "Yes, listen to the military advisors and don't act impulsively."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and patiently explained, "Fairy Xiaoqi, we are marching into Tianzhu in the name of a righteous army. If we simply use force to suppress them, I'm afraid it will provoke resistance from the people of Tianzhu, and it will be even more difficult to stabilize our rule in the future.

We must use both kindness and force, demonstrating our strength while also providing tangible benefits to the people of India so that they will willingly accept our rule."

Qingluan also added: "Military Advisor, what you said is absolutely right. We have sent people to Tianzhu to gather information. Once the information comes back, we can formulate a detailed and comprehensive occupation and governance plan based on the specific conditions of Tianzhu.

During this period, we can continue to implement the new policies in the southeast region, vigorously develop the economy, strengthen our military, and make full and complete preparations for the invasion of India."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Master Xue, Fairy Xiaoqi, continue to monitor the news from Tianzhu and inform us immediately if there is any development. Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, coordinate the strategy for occupation and governance. Generals, prepare for the expedition. Everyone, intensify your training and improve your strength."

Everyone accepted the order and then got busy.

After Xue Tianhan and others returned to the base, they continued to wait eagerly for the return of those who had gone to Tianzhu to inquire about the news. At the same time, in accordance with the decision of the meeting, they also actively prepared in the southeast region, making full and detailed preparations for the upcoming southwest expansion.

Liu Bei and others in the rear carefully planned the overall development and layout of the regime, and kept a close eye on the subtle changes in the situation.

A few days later, the spy sent to India rushed back and came to Xue Tianhan in a hurry.

Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, Qing Luan, Qing Snake Lady, Hu Meiniang and others immediately gathered around, their eyes full of anxiety.

The spy knelt on one knee and reported hurriedly: "Master, there are many powerful forces in Tianzhu.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack was the Lingfan Holy Sect located in central Tianzhu. Within the sect were numerous experts, including several elders at the Fusion Stage, and the sect leader had even reached the Tribulation Stage. They controlled a large area of ​​Tianzhu's spiritual vein resources.

There is also the Blood Demon Palace entrenched in northern Tianzhu. This palace is ruthless and notorious for devouring the cultivation of others to enhance its own strength. The palace master is at the peak of the Fusion Stage, and the strength of the many demon cultivators under his command should not be underestimated.

In addition, the Tianluo Sword Sect in the eastern part of Tianzhu is famous for its swordsmanship. Its leader, Tianluo Sword Master, has reached the late stage of distraction. The disciples in the sect are all good at swordsmanship and have considerable combat power.

According to investigation, there are only one or two masters in Tianzhu who have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and the leader of the Lingfan Holy Sect is one of them. The other is the previous leader of the Lingfan Holy Sect, but he has not been seen for many years, and it is unknown whether he has passed away.

After Xue Tianhan heard this, he thought to himself:

When I was in the meeting hall before, I did agree with the strategy of combining kindness and severity. After all, governing a region requires long-term planning.

But now it seems that although the high-end combat power of Tianzhu is a threat, we have four masters in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and Xiaoqi's immortal weapon, the Heavenly Sword, and we have a clear advantage in strength.

If we can quickly wipe out their high-end combat power, we will be able to establish absolute deterrence in Tianzhu, and subsequent governance will be relatively easy.

Those small forces will also be more likely to surrender after losing their powerful support.

Moreover, we are pressed for time. Feng Yi and others in the north are still eyeing us covetously, so we cannot spend too much energy on the affairs of Tianzhu.
