Chapter 17: The Use of Soldiers
"Wu Ling, your bodyguard is too incompetent, right? If you don't guard King Jin, what are you doing around me? "I'm a little bored.
"Now that Your Majesty is here, the safety of King Jin is not a problem, even if the five dragons take the heir, no one will dare to kill in front of the Son of Heaven!" Ji Wu Ling Road.
"So you're really idle right now, aren't you? You have to know that nominally I am still friends with Princess Jinyang, and you said that if I send her an invitation, will she come? "I know Ji Wuling's weakness.
"Don't, don't, I came to you this time for business, do you know what happened to the Flying Fish Guard just Pegasus to report the Son of Heaven?" Ji Wu Ling Road.
"Uncle Ji, I'm a commoner, how can I know so much? Do you really think that the Moyang Water God protects me? I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"I've seen the Flying Fish Guard who was summoned this time, and it's Hou Qianhu who has been collecting intelligence on the northern frontline." Ji Wu Ling Road.
"Tell me everything you know at once, I think I guessed what's going on!" I say.
"You guessed it? Tell me first, I don't believe you are so godly! Ji Wuling said.
"Let's say it first, it's just paper talk now, what I said today came from my mouth and entered your ears, and I won't admit it afterwards." I laughed.
"I'm the champion of martial arts in the world! You can't even believe me? Ji Wuling said.
"Su Ping, take the map of the northern border!" I laughed.
"Second Young Master, someone is visiting!" Su Ping said.
"I'm not the head of the family, someone is visiting, you lead to my father and eldest brother, don't you see that I'm busy?" I say.
"The people who come are not ordinary, if I feel good, there are descendants of Nanyang Agni outside the door watching! It should be the person of the King of Chu! Ji Wuling had a keen sense: "I'll send him away now!" ”
"Wait! The people of the King of Chu are a little interesting, so you can pretend to be stupid! Su Ping, on the map! "I'm worried about how to break into the camp of the King of Chu, I didn't expect him to send it to the door so soon.
***************************************************
"Yipin, how can you have such a complete map from Moyang City to the Imperial Tomb? How many plank road post stations, and even a few blacksmith shops and tailor shops have signs? Ji Wuling was shocked.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say it, the most powerful in the area of Moyang City is only the Tomb Guard, and the Imperial Tomb is related to the dignity of the royal family of our dynasty, unless the Xuanming Empire fights a decisive battle with our dynasty, otherwise it will never break into the Imperial Tomb!"
"I originally planned that if the bandits attacked fiercely and it was difficult to gain a foothold, I would persuade my father and eldest brother to lead people to retreat to the Imperial Tomb Territory for help." I say.
"I thought your Su Yipin's name was Su Daring, I didn't expect to be so daring, take out this map, it seems that you really guessed the news I brought!" Ji Wu Ling Road.
"Actually, it's really not difficult, Your Majesty didn't just come to worship your ancestors this time, if I didn't guess wrong, Your Majesty is planning to use troops against the Xuanying Empire!" I say.
"How so?" Ji Wu Ling Road.
"It's obvious! His Majesty worshiped his ancestors and stayed in the cabinet to supervise the country, but he only brought out the household book, if he is not needed, then it is better to stay in the cabinet! Even if there is some cost to worship the imperial tomb, you can't afford to ask the head of the household to come in person, right? Unless there is a large amount of money, food, and materials! I said.
"And there is indeed no other reason for the transfer of a large amount of money, food, and materials than war! I have received news that His Majesty has ordered all fortresses in the north to strengthen their defenses and hoard grain and grass in the near future! "Ji Wuling is convinced, this Su Yipin has a peek at the leopard, and he only sees a glimpse, but he sees the overall situation.
"It's just that this decisive battle is not optimistic!" I frowned.
"Since you took the initiative to provoke the war, why do you still say that it is not optimistic? What kind of decisive battle do you say? Ji Wuling asked.
"You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?" I laughed.
"Let's talk about the decisive battle first!" Ji Wu Ling Road.
"I, the Prince of the Four Realms of the Feihong Empire, has crushed three of the four major empires outside, and the King of Jin in the northern realm has repeatedly lost battles, the reason for this is not that the King of Jin is mediocre, on the contrary, the King of Jin is very smart, and it is obvious that the light cavalry of the Xuanming Empire is too powerful!" I say.
"Mr. Su, please drink water!" Ji Wuling handed over the water.
"King Jin can't suppress the Xuanming Empire, if he changes guards with other princes, even if King Qin first arrives in the north, he may not be able to carry the Xuanming Empire, and the White Tiger Empire without the King of Qin is like pulling out the nails of the western portal, and no one can stop the White Tiger Empire from moving in the short term!" I say.
*******************************************************
"Lord Wang, do you want to go in?" Nanyang Agni Hou Lieyang arched his hand.
"No need! This Su Yipin is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, just a few words of news, he can deduce the whole situation, he is right, if the prince changes his guard, train new soldiers to resist the enemy for a long time! It's hard to work, and if you draw people from your own domain, it will also make the rear empty! "King Chu said.
****************************************************
"I went in and out of the palace of the King of Jin, and I knew that the King of Jin was indeed not mediocre, and other princes could not put out the fire, and the best thing was indeed the Son of Heaven who drove the expedition himself! It's just a battle, why do you say it's a decisive battle? Ji Wuling knew that his question was also the confusion of the King of Chu who was eavesdropping outside the door.
"The Son of Heaven is not light, if it is just a small fight, I am afraid that the revenge of the Xuanming Empire will come extremely fiercely. The Son of Heaven is here, maybe the Xuanming Empire will not dare to move, but can the Son of Heaven always sit in the north? Did he go back? "My question is poignant.
*****************************************************
"Su Yipin is right, since my father has decided to provoke a war, it must be to defeat the main force of the Xuanming Empire in the north in one fell swoop and create peace for the north for decades, this is naturally a decisive battle! But I don't have a clue how to fight this decisive battle! "King Chu said.
**************************************************
Ji Wuling asked the King of Chu what he was worried about.
"Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I only know the approximate place of the decisive battle, and the time of the decisive battle actually depends entirely on the Xuanying Empire, I really don't understand, why is Your Majesty so anxious? Since you want to fight a decisive battle, but give the enemy the favorable opportunity for the decisive battle? I frowned.
"You mean that Your Majesty intends to choose the decisive battlefield at the Imperial Tomb Territory? When the Xuanming Empire invaded my Feihong Empire, it usually skipped the area around the Imperial Tombs, right? "Ji Wuling's eyes are keen, and his eyes have been wandering from the Imperial Tomb to Moyang City, and he has guessed part of the truth.
"Skipping the Imperial Tomb is just because it is unprofitable, if there is a great temptation in front of you, and you are the commander of the Xuanyuan Empire, will you take the risk?" I laughed.
"What temptation can the Imperial Tomb have? Violating the imperial tomb is tantamount to provoking the imperial family, it is a never-ending war, and the Xuanming Empire should not be so crazy in command, right? Ji Wuling was obviously surprised.
"So our Emperor His Majesty made a bit of a big bet this time, just imagine, the Son of Heaven came to worship his ancestors, and all the adult princes of the empire followed, you said that if you can catch all these people......!" I kept my mouth shut.
