Next.

Lichen gathered the generals together to discuss the military situation.

After Black Wind City was engulfed by fire, the Black Eagle Iron Cavalry, Divine Armor Army, and Divine Fire Army of Great Zhou retreated to Snow Wind City in the north.

Snowwind City has a garrison of 50,000 troops, plus the 60,000 troops retreating from Blackwind City, the total strength reaches as much as 110,000, and these 110,000 troops are unified under the command of the City Lord of Snowwind City.

Yesterday night, Lichen received information from Hosaku that the army of Snow Wind City was unusually mobilized, and it seemed that it was going to attack Tiexiong Pass.

Moreover, the Tulang tribe, one of the four major tribes of the barbarians, also had an abnormality.

He summoned the generals in order to prevent Snowwind City and the Tulang tribe from joining forces.

Although there is no sign of the two parties joining forces, he still has to make preparations just in case.

Tiexiong Pass has a large defensive array, a 100,000-strong army, and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, and the defense is very strong, but if the Great Zhou army attacks at any cost, what should it do?

Snow Wind City Lord Xue Fengtian is a powerhouse of the Lingyuan Realm, and his family also has several masters of the Lingyuan Realm, if he brings these Lingyuan Realm masters to attack Tiexiong Pass, even if Tiexiong Pass is impregnable, he can't afford to resist the joint attack of several Lingyuan Realm powerhouses.

On the side of Tiexiong Pass, only Pingnan Hou Ouyang Hou is the Lingyuan Realm.

Moreover, the dark disease in Pingnanhou's body has not been cured, and he can't give full play to the full strength of the powerhouse of the Lingyuan Realm.

When the battle reaches a certain level, it is not the number and morale of the low-level sergeants that will determine the victory, but the duel of the strong.

General's Palace, Hall.

Lichen was wearing a purple brocade robe, sitting on the main seat, with an indifferent expression, and said, "Tell me, if the barbarians and Xue Fengtian join forces, how should they deal with it?"

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that with the defense array of Tiexiong Pass, it is enough to block the snow sealing sky and the barbarian army. Jeruchon said.

Li Kill said coldly: "The defense array must be maintained by Yuan Stone, where do we get so many stones." ”

"Why should you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige when you kill the general, before His Highness burned the Black Wind City, so that the Great Zhou army was defeated, and this time he can also defeat their alliance. Guo Zhen said.

"The last general thinks that we should mobilize all kinds of materials from Yunyang County and step up the production of fiery artillery and ice crystal cannons, if the barbarians really join forces with Xue Fengtian, we can also use these two sharp cannons to deal with them. Crane said.

The commanders of the four battalions all expressed their opinions.

Only Huang Tao, the main general of the Flame Iron Knight, did not say a word.

"General Huang, what do you think?" asked Lichen as he glanced at him.

Huang Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general thinks that he should ask for help from Wangcheng, Tiexiong Pass is very important, and there must be no mistakes. ”

He understood what the generals meant.

Immediately, he looked at Pingnan Hou and said, "What does Master Hou think?"

"Regardless of whether Xue Fengtian and the barbarians join forces or not, the last general thinks that His Highness should strengthen the defenses, raise yuan stones, weapons, and build weapons to defend the city, in case of emergency. Pingnan Hou said.

After listening, he glanced at Niu Chong and automatically filtered him.

"The generals will do what Pingnanhou wants, and pay close attention to the movements of the snow-sealed city and the barbarians in the past few days. Lichen waved his hand, signaling that the generals could go out.

"Your Highness, the last general has something to say. ”

But he stood up and said coldly: "The Ghost Wolf Iron Cavalry has not received military pay for two consecutive months. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yeluxiong hurriedly followed: "The same is true of the Flying Tiger Iron Cavalry of the last general. ”

That's what the rest of the generals meant.

Lichen raised his eyebrows.

With thousands of years of history, there should be no arrears of military salaries.

"This matter will be played by the Cabinet of Ministers. "Lichen Road.

"Your Royal Highness, do you know, the army's military salary has been allocated by the cabinet to the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, and then from the Wuhou Governor's Mansion to the Yunyang County Government. Crane said.

"Why don't you give it?" asked Lichen.

"There are two conditions for receiving military salaries, Yunyang County guards the big seal, and Tiexiongguan General seal, both of which are indispensable, so Yunyang County guards can't see the general seal, and they don't dare to risk losing their heads to give us military salaries. Crane replied.

"This king will go to Yunyang County to guard the mansion in a while. "Lichen Road.

"Your Highness, the last general will accompany you. Crane said.

"It's fine. ”

He waved his hand and told the generals to go out.

When only him and Crane Ming were left in the hall, a wise glint flashed in his eyes and he asked, "General Crane, is the matter of military pay truthful?"

Heming smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is wise, what the last general said just now was purely to appease the army, in fact, the military salary has not been allocated yet." ”

"Why didn't you dial it down?" Lichen asked in a cold voice.

"The last general once sent someone to inquire, and the reason why the military salary has not been allocated is that the cabinet allocated the military salary belonging to the 100,000 army of Tiexiongguan to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Crane said.

"Idiot. ”

A flash of anger flashed in Lichen's eyes.

The cabinet allocated the military salaries of the soldiers of Tiexiong Pass to the seven princes, so they were not afraid of the soldiers mutiny, and when the Tiexiong Pass was lost, the demon beasts of the Great Zhou, the barbarians, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland all poured in from outside the pass, and they were the real culprits.

"Why don't you just play it for Wang Jun?" said Lichen.

"Your Highness, the last general is soft-spoken, even if you play it to Wang Jun, I'm afraid it won't be able to get to Wang Jun's case. Crane said.

When he said this, Lichen believed it.

In the style of those old things in the cabinet, they will never let the twists and turns that are unfavorable to them reach the king's palace.

"Your Highness, for today's plan, I can only ask the Yunyang County Guard to borrow a batch of military salaries, take it, and wait for the military salaries to come down, and then pay them back. Crane Ming came up with an idea.

"Can the Yunyang County Guard Mansion have the salary of 100,000 troops?" Lichen knew very well that the military salary to feed the 100,000 army was definitely an astronomical amount, and it was far from being something that the Yunyang County Guard Mansion could take.

"The Yunyang County Guard should be able to take out thirty percent of the military salary, and the families in the county town should be able to take out the three cities, so it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the moment. Crane said.

Lichen glanced at Heming.

He wanted to ask Yunyang County to 'borrow' military salaries.

This is the only way to do it at the moment.

Otherwise, where will the salary of the 100,000-strong army come from, and how can the soldiers be at peace without it?

"Your Highness, I heard that the female sect master of the Liuli Sect is being locked up in the General's Mansion?" asked Heming's voice as he changed his voice.

"Something to say. ”

"The Yunyang county guard has only one weakness, he likes beautiful women, and besides, this county guard has pursued the Liuli Sect Master before. ”

A smile crossed the corner of Lichen's mouth.

Heming is a good idea.

Taking a charming woman for the salary of an army of 100,000 people, this deal is very worthwhile.

Heming came up with another idea and said: "These big families in Yunyang County don't have certain benefits, they won't borrow military salaries from us, if Your Highness wants to borrow military salaries from them, you can only lead a large army into the city to cause them a certain amount of pressure, and then allow them some benefits, most of them will be able to borrow military salaries." ”
