"At the beginning, the one who fought side by side with the minister for the longest time was Sima Hong, the generalissimo of the White Tiger Legion." Wan Xi paused and said: "This person seems to be bold, informal, and his temper is bursting, not like a handsome person, including the ministers who thought so at the beginning." But later it was discovered that this person was full of talent and learning, and had a very unique set of views on marching battles, and often when encountering troop arrangements and general strategies, he had his own fighting style, all of which made his subordinates obey. ”

"Alas, it's heart-wrenching that such a talent is not in my Dachu." Xiong Minne nodded as she listened, and sighed secretly.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister didn't mean to say that this person has the ability to lead the army and fight." Wan Xi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what kind of words the minister hears most often when he talks to him?" Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! Before every battle, the generals of the White Tiger Legion will gather to analyze the situation of the enemy army, and the number of scouts sent is very large, without sufficient preparation, they never take risks, once they are ready to move forward, then the logistics will absolutely ensure that nothing goes wrong, and at the same time think about how to cut off the enemy's logistics, the same strategy and tactics, they can use it twice in succession. Later, the minister discovered that this style was not only the White Tiger Legion, but also the later Xuanwu Legion. ”

"You mean ......" Xiong Minne finally realized something.

Chen suspected that the main generals of Cangguo had all been taught by the same master, otherwise, in terms of the overall style, they would not be so similar. It was based on this speculation that Chen felt that Cangguo should be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, which caught me off guard. ”

"War is not said to be fought, I haven't heard any rumors before, there has been no big war in six years, so there is no need to boost morale in the army or something?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget, Cangguo is different, the soldiers of Cangguo are not afraid of war, but are eager for war, this is the minister in the Cangjun camp, see it with your own eyes."

Wan Xi said, and couldn't help but think of the seriously injured young man he met at the door of the Cangjun camp that year.

Xiong Minne's expression was serious: "In this case, let's not discuss here, immediately convene the ministers and hold a court meeting!" ”

……

In the afternoon, a fierce court discussion unfolded in the court hall of the Chu State.

Even Jia Yi of Zhishi was specially called.

It is very rare, Xiong Minne let people briefly describe the changes in Cangguo over the years and how it has risen.

For a while, the ministers in the palace were silent one by one.

Over the years, it is people like them who have contributed greatly to the rise of Cangguo.

And as Wan Xi and Jia Yi and several others said, the foundation of the strength of the Cangguo is the strength of the system, when the countries were busy with annexation, the Cangguo has been recuperating for six years, the imperial power is stable, according to various speculations and estimates, the number of troops has approached two million.

This strength has obviously surpassed the time of the Battle of the Jin Dynasty.

And, taking into account the rest of the many factors, it can be said that it is tripled, or even quadruple.

At this time, it is not appropriate for Chu to start a big war with Cangguo, and it should first maneuver around various countries, trap Cangguo in isolation, and then slowly try to do it.

However, in this case, how can the interests of the family be guaranteed?

Has this finally come to this?

Once the war starts, the government and the opposition of Cangguo will definitely be fighting Chu, and all countries in the world are also watching how Chu moves with their eyes wide open.

In the long run, if the Chu State wants to go further, it still needs to fight.

"Your Majesty, but you have a plan, and the old man will do his best to implement it!" The head of the Tan family, Lord Right Sikong, said a word.

Wan Xi, who had been thinking silently, spoke: "From the perspective of the general situation, we have to give Cangguo a color now, otherwise it will be difficult to be safe inside and outside." It's just that this battle should only be won quickly, not a stalemate. After the victory, His Majesty can meet His Majesty the Emperor and suppress him at a disadvantage, so that everyone in the world knows that Da Chu has no intention of showing weakness. ”

"Can I win the battle?"

"The emperor of Cangguo has never been a person who is soft, if I win this battle in Chu, it is difficult to ensure that Cangguo will not continue to increase investment."

"At the moment, it seems that this is the only way to make a temporary game."

When it came time to discuss whether or not to fight, the ministers began to waver.

The interests of the family are on the one hand, and there is a fear of the uneasiness of the war and the reputation of the country.

However, no one has come up with a better strategy either.

After a long time, no one spoke again.

It can be regarded as acquiescing to Wanxi's plan.

"It's easy to talk about the meeting." Xiong Minne frowned and said, "The important thing is that this battle must be won neatly. ”

Wan Xi gave up his hand: "This warlord should personally command the troops, and he will definitely give His Majesty a prestige." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Yi took the case first and shouted, and several important ministers were also amazed, and even Xiong Minne opened his brows and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Xi is a man of few words, but he is very calm, and everyone is relieved to go out to war, just say that in the battle of the Jin Dynasty, under the heavy encirclement and pursuit of the Jin army, the 300,000 troops under his command can still survive, which can be seen.

He said that if he plays majestic, then he will definitely be able to play majestic.

As long as the first war is won, then in terms of military strength, it can temporarily suppress one end and let all countries take a good look.

In such a situation, whose heart can not relax?

At the end of the meeting, the ministers immediately went to the office and went about their work.

Xiong Minne, who was left alone in the hall, was a little uneasy.

He came out of the hall to see the setting sun and sighed.

During the years when he was emperor, the territory of the Chu State had doubled, the old enemy Wu State had been eliminated, and the goal of dominating the world was getting closer and closer, and the situation in front of him was clearer than the original Jin State.

Seeing that the state of Chu was growing stronger day by day, suddenly a big mountain was born out of thin air, blocking in front of him!

In the past, he had always regarded the family clan as the cancer of the Chu State, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is precisely the powerful clan of the Chu State that can win the victory in foreign wars again and again.

In other words, the family is the product of expansion after expansion again and again, and every time the Chu State annexes a country, the family also gains a share of benefits, and at the same time is strong.

In the current world, the great powers will inevitably collide fiercely and continuously and fiercely confront, the general trend of the world will affect the power structure of various countries, the mountain of Cangguo is horizontal, the situation of Chu is suddenly sinister, and the strong ministers and fierce generals will become the country's treasures, and the stable power pattern will also become the same desire from top to bottom, and the government and the opposition will also be dominated by several large families to confront Cangguo.

Cangguo, this country born out of nowhere, has unseen and unheard of means, how to fight it?

Xiong Minne had a headache,

If it is only two million troops, when the Chu State is fully established, there will be four million available soldiers, so why be afraid?

The important thing is that the two million troops of Cangguo are elite troops that have been honed for a long time, their weapons and equipment are eye-catching, and their quality is extremely high.

Coupled with the meritorious lord system, its fierce and brave combat power is enough to overwhelm any army in the world on the same scale!

If the Chu State retreats after a small victory, and the Cang State vows not to give up, this will inevitably turn into a bloody battle.

But if there is no war, how can you face the rest of the nations?

If nothing else,
