Chapter 70: If you want to fight, you will fight a national war
The other side.
Tus domestic.
Ever since Ruud led his army into the wind, Tusi has always believed that this is a war without suspense, and Ruud will definitely return triumphantly in the end.
But as time passed, after Ruud and 50,000 barbarians entered the wind land, it was as if they had disappeared out of thin air, and there had been no news for more than ten days.
This can't help but make King Tus feel that something is wrong, you know, in the eyes of the barbarians, 50,000 troops invaded the Wind Realm, if it was according to the previous practice, Rude should have led the army back with a full load, even if there were some problems in the battle ahead, then Rude should have sent back the battle report a long time ago.
But left and right, there is not even a single message.
Under these circumstances, King Tus had to raise the matter in Parliament.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of the minister, the Tusi Kingdom sent a team of elite sentinels, and after some investigation, finally brought the news that Rude and his army had been wiped out back to the Tusi Kingdom.
At the time of the return of the sentry horse, the Tusi Kingdom was holding its daily regular parliament, and in the royal palace, after hearing the news, not only the Tusi King was dumbfounded, but the ministers in the hall were all wide-eyed, and they all showed incredible expressions.
Frightened and angry, King Tus rebuked: "Bold! How dare you deceive this king! How brave and good at fighting my Tusi warriors, there are 50,000 people, only 30,000 defenders in the border cities of the Wind Country, how can they defeat my Tusi 50,000 warriors! You must not be able to hear the exact news, so you are making it up! ”
When the sentry heard this, he was almost fainted and asked him to deceive the king? Even if he was given 10,000 guts, he wouldn't dare!
He kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, and told with a handful of snot and tears that what he said was true, but unfortunately, what he said was too unacceptable in the eyes of King Tus and his ministers!
Without any suspense, the sentry was unjustly killed by the enraged Tuth King, and he was only one of the sentry sentries sent out.
Soon, as a large number of sentinels returned to Tus, the news that the people brought back was the same as before, one person may be lying, but all of them are the same story, and this time, the king of Tus could not believe it.
In the lobby of the palace, he said in a deep voice: "Rude led 50,000 warriors of Tusi to fight in the wind, and now after the news from all sides has been transmitted, it can be determined that Rude has indeed been wiped out!" ”
When the ministers heard this, they all stood under the corridor and did not dare to speak, now the news is true, Rude led an army of 50,000, all of which can be wiped out, you can imagine what the king's mood is now, and how dare people stand up and speak at this time.
"What? Have you not heard the king's words? When the king saw this, he exclaimed angrily:
Before Rude set out on the expedition, he also swore to the king that he would definitely bring back a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties of the Wind Country to the king! But now! But he mistakenly fell into the enemy's trick and was trapped in the gourd mouth by the wind army, so that all of my 50,000 warriors were buried in the fire! I, Datus, have always been known as wolves, and now I have died at the hands of sheep, and Ruud is a piece of waste! This king really shouldn't have sent him to lead his army into battle! ”
As a noble general of Tus, Rude's family power is naturally all over the government and the opposition, seeing that the king of Tus has the intention of angering the Rude family, a minister hurriedly came out, supported his chest with his hand, and said:
"Your Majesty, General Ruud has always been regarded as the great warrior of my Tus, and even he was killed in battle this time, and Wei Chen thought that it might be ......"
Before the minister could finish his defense, King Tus interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said angrily, "Say no more! What a big warrior! Waste is waste! What this king means is that this time the Wind Country annihilated my 50,000 warriors, and this revenge must be avenged! And a hard lesson must also be taught to the Wind Country! Let them understand the fate of angering my Tus! ”
At this time, a general dressed as a foreign knight stood up from the crowd, bent down with his hands on his chest and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the last general thinks that the reason why General Ruud will be defeated is not just because he fell into the trap of the enemy. ”
The general dressed as a knight was none other than the Grand Commander of the Tusi Country, Briss, who was about forty years old, with a golden beard, a high nose, deep eye sockets, burly and tall, and his record was unmatched in the Tusi Country.
The position of commander, if placed in the country of wind, is equivalent to the general of the imperial court, and he is in charge of the national military power.
As a battle-hardened veteran, King Tus still valued Bris's words very much, seeing him say this, King Tus took a deep breath, temporarily endured the anger in his heart, and asked in a muffled voice: "What do you mean by this, Lord Commander?" ”
Blith replied: "In the past, we Tus have always regarded the Wind Army as sheep, and that is because the weapons and armaments of the other side are inferior and cannot cause harm to our warriors. And this time, General Ruud was completely wiped out, which can first prove that the weapons of the Wind Army must no longer be the rusty spears of the past......"
"Is the Commander trying to tell the king that the warriors of my Tus are not as good as the Wind Country!? If the opponent's weapons are changed, we won't be able to beat them, will we!? Before he could finish speaking, King Tus interrupted him.
When Briss heard this, he hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, of course, the warriors of my Tus are more courageous than the wind army, and the last general just wants to tell His Majesty the king that if our side fights again, the warriors must not have the wolf-to-sheep heart before, and they should face the wind army squarely." ”
Hearing him say this, the anger on King Tus's face disappeared a lot, and at the same time he nodded, and asked, "Then in your opinion, if our country sends troops again, how should we fight?" ”
When Briss heard this, he almost didn't even think about it, so he said categorically: "If you want to fight, beat the other party to be as afraid of us as before!" Raise the soldiers of the whole country and fight in the wind! ”
As soon as he said this, the Minister of Tus immediately stood up and objected: "No! If you follow the commander's style of play, it will be equivalent to fighting a national war with the Wind Country! ”
"Yes! Although I, Tusi, have been at war with the Wind Country for many years, but they are all small-scale plundering wars, and they have not attracted the attention of the Wind Country Imperial Court at all......
"The Commander, you're too impulsive......"
