Chapter 15: The Imperial Council II
"Enough! You uneducated little rabbits! Whoever says more, push it out and cut it off!" King Hailing shouted, so frightened that the young generals' legs trembled, and the court fell silent again.
Immediately, King Hailing said in a deep voice: "The old marshal of Dadali is a meritorious service of my empire, and the elders of the four dynasties, how can you and other juniors insult you? Since the Beihai Kingdom dared to poison the first emperor, it was naturally fully prepared for the attack of our army. The current Beihai Kingdom can be described as monolithic, with strong defenses and seemingly impregnable. But this does not mean that our army does not have a chance. Now, I want to tell you that, according to reliable information, the world's number one stargazer has been seriously injured and in a coma, and his life is not long in coming!"
The news thrown by King Hailing buzzed in the heads of the generals like a thunderbolt from the sky, and gradually, everyone's eyes began to be unkind. In fact, if Mu Yi made a move in this battle, the generals of the Chengtian Empire, no matter who they were, would not dare to confront this "demon" head-on. Twenty years ago, King Hailing's father fell in love with Princess Mulan of Beihai Kingdom at a banquet. On impulse, he led the 300,000 heavy cavalry troops of the Holy Cavalry Regiment, plus the Flying Eagle Legion, the air combat unit of the Chengtian Empire, to drive all the way to capture the Changmen Bridge, and then rushed thousands of miles in two days, detouring the first pass in the world - Luoxia Pass, and attacking Mulan City in Beihai from the south, in a vain attempt to forcibly capture Princess Mulan. Due to the undeclared war of the Chengtian Empire, the war happened suddenly, and the Beihai army along the road was defeated in successive battles. At the critical juncture, the Mulan City guard sent the Great White Bird back to Beihai City to report the news. At that time, the king of Beihai was also Haitian, and Princess Mulan was his own sister. After hearing the news, Haitian was furious and rushed to Daxue Mountain overnight. Then, Mu Yi, the head of the wooden gate, rode a big white bird, and flew to Mulan City with one person and one bird. Just three days later, without warning, it suddenly snowed heavily around Mulan City, which was still in the middle of summer, and in an instant, the entire outside of Mulan City became an ice hell. The sudden arrival of the "natural disaster" caught the Chengtian army off guard, and the 300,000 heavy cavalry and their Emperor Majesty were forever turned into ice sculptures, and only the Flying Eagle Legion was lucky to survive because it was not near Mulan City.
Afterwards, the Marshal of the Chengtian Empire, "Pulsatilla" Dadali once quietly dived into the North Sea, personally observed the battlefield, and found traces of the long-lost Ice Ghost Array. This formation, Dadari has only seen it in ancient books, but because he is deeply impressed, he knows it. After returning, Dadari reported in detail to King Hailing's own brother about the Ice Ghost Array. Since then, the Chengtian Empire talked about the color change of "wood", and the Great Song Dynasty and the Chengtian Empire also sent a large number of tributes one after another to show friendship. In particular, the Chengtian Empire had to regard them as war horses for life, and handed over 100,000 horses and sent them to Beihai as war reparations. Now, hearing the news that Mu Yi was seriously injured and could not participate in the war, Chengtian's generals were ecstatic. Except, of course, King Hailing. Because, the matter about Mu Yi's serious injury and coma did not come from the so-called reliable intelligence, but from the leader of the Ancient Moon Demon Army, Rafi. In this regard, King Hailing did not question the authenticity of this matter, but secretly became a little more wary of the Guyue Kingdom.
"This ancient moon country is really weird, and that Rafi doesn't feel like a human at all. Forget it, it's better not to provoke them. King Hailing secretly recited silently in his heart.
Just as King Hailing was distracted, Dadali said again: "Your Majesty, since Mu Yi can't fight, which direction should our army take as the main attack direction of this battle?"
When King Hailing heard this, he finally came back to his senses, and then smiled slightly: "Which direction? There is no need to divide the direction, just take this 4,000-mile border line as the boundary, and concentrate more than eighty percent of our military strength to attack in an all-round way, and each direction is the main attack point of our army, regardless of each other." ”
When all the generals heard this, they were all taken aback. Dadari then said solemnly again: "Your Majesty, it's not good to attack so much. You know, on the other side of the Yun River, there are millions of lions of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are watching us all the time. For King Hailing's risky play, Dadari naturally raised objections. This time, all the generals agreed with the old marshal's words and echoed them.
King Hailing knew that the generals in the palace would definitely raise doubts, so he explained: "Generals, as the old marshal said, the Beihai Kingdom is generally monolithic at present. According to common sense, our army should concentrate superior forces and break through one point. But the widow has to admit that the iron plate in front of us is indeed very hard. If our army concentrates its forces to attack one place, then the Beihai Kingdom will also concentrate all its superior forces on that point for defense, thus increasing the difficulty of our army's attack. For example, a widow can uproot a towering tree with both hands, but he cannot pull up ten small trees gathered together at the same time. Therefore, since our army has an absolute advantage in strength, it is better to attack on all fronts, so that the defenders in various parts of the North Sea are simply unable to rush to each other's aid, and can only fight separately. If the Beihai Kingdom is negligent, our army will have the opportunity to crush the entire defense line of the Northern Navy in one fell swoop. As for Da Song, what Lao Shuai said is not unreasonable. But the widows believe that in the first few months of the war, the decaying Song army did not have the courage to cross the river and attack the rear of our army. They have long forgotten in the belly of a woman that knives are for chopping, guns are for stabbing, and arrows are for shooting. What's more, the widow has just sent his own sister over. ”
When he said this, King Hailing gritted his teeth a little, and looked at the Saharako beside him with an unkind expression. Saharako and King Hailing looked at each other and couldn't help but shudder. The proposal for peace was proposed by the Saharako himself, so it is normal for people to be frightened at this time.
"Of course, no matter how rotten wood is, you can't avoid it. Saharako, the widow ordered you to lead the Yunhe Daluo General Kecha to guard against the Song army on the other side of the Yunhe River. If the Great Song Dynasty really doesn't know what to do, the widow will definitely come back to help. King Hailing commanded.
"Obey!" "Obey!" the military advisor Saharako and Yunhe Daluo General Kocha respectfully accepted the military order.
"The generals will listen to the order!" shouted King Hailing.
"The last general!" replied in unison.
"The old marshal Dadari led the Far North Army, and the Celestial Dragon Army attacked Mulan County on the Western Front. Marshal Chahe Buhua led the Shangdang Army of Shangdang County to attack Menglan County on the Eastern Front. In addition, the widow will personally lead the Black Bear Legion of Hejian County, the Praetorian Guard Chengtian Legion and the Flying Eagle Legion to break through the middle lane and attack Beihai County. The black wolf Da Luo led Jebe to destroy all the heavy cavalry of the Holy Cavalry Regiment, Shurachou and Futu, as a mobile force, and went out with the widows. From today onwards, the Chengtian Empire officially declared war on the North Sea, and all weapons and military supplies must be prepared within a month, and the matter will be entrusted to the Saharako military division. ”
"The ministers will live up to His Majesty's entrustment, set foot on the North Sea, and dominate the world! Long live the king, long live, long live!" The madness of the war ignited the restless blood, and the people of Chengtian began to shout long live.
After the generals shouted long live, the emperor's ** master Saharako rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to play: "Your Majesty, the Beihai Kingdom has always refused to admit to killing the first emperor, and shouted to the people of the world that it is innocent. In that case, why not let the North Sea Kingdom choose a princess as a close friend. In this way, it can also prevent the world from saying that we are warlike and take the initiative to break the "Tianyun Peace Treaty". ”
King Hailing looked at Saharako with comprehension and nodded, but on the surface, he still sat down seriously and said: "However, God has the virtue of a good life, and the widow does not want the world to be miserable." So let's go, the widow sent an envoy to the North Sea to propose marriage to Snow White. If the king of Beihai agrees, the scourge of swords and soldiers will be resolved, and the people of Beihai will be able to avoid the destruction of life. ”
As soon as King Hailing's words were finished, Saharako immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is a wise lord, and you are truly a wise lord!" All the generals also hurriedly echoed one after another, but the "Pulsatilla" Dadali looked at all this, frowned, and said nothing.
"That being the case, Saharako, you can choose someone to go to Beihai tomorrow to propose marriage, there must be no mistake!" said King Hailing excitedly.
"Wechen obeys!"
In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible for the North Sea Kingdom to hand over their favorite Snow White to Chengtian. Everything is just a pretext, and the iron hooves of Chengtian are about to set foot on the three counties of Beihai.
