Although I already knew that I had a long way to go, I didn't expect it to be so heavy and so far.

This is the rhythm of refining people to die, Rao is Chen An's actual combat power is comparable to that of a heavenly immortal, and his legs are also a little weak.

"Well, you know, in the past, the Eastern Wilderness was full of evil spirits, people had a short lifespan, and they were in danger of dying at any time, in order to ensure the stability of the marriage, they could only do the matter of the death of the sister, according to the rules of the Twelve Liancheng, there was Teng's wife to marry, only the Gaoyang clan married eleven people, and the Yulong clan even had as many as twenty-seven people. ”

Wen Liang was also a little embarrassed, mainly because he had never done anything like that, and compared to the emperor who had just ascended the throne, this number was indeed too much. Because the list is a real clan lady, not a palace maid, they are either concubines or noble girls, each of them has an identity and a background, and even has a reason.

Chen Ancun asked by chance: "Do all the people on this list have to be included in the harem?"

"Uh, I've tried to remove some of the unnecessary ones, but ......"

Wen Liang didn't say anything, Chen An already understood that eighty percent of these noble girls were from the top ten clans, and he had to accept it, this was a political signal, a signal that reassured the ministry.

Especially when the expedition to Thailand is about to pass, this signal is quite important and is the key to stabilizing people's hearts.

Knowing this, Chen An changed his tone and said, "Has the date for our expedition to Taiyiguan been set?"

Just now in the council hall, they have agreed on a specific strategy, that is, to attack a certain city in the middle of the ancient city-state with arms, and then secretly Chen Cang quietly transports the army of Qi to the mining area, and then storms Taiyi Pass.

The whole strategy is actually very simple, that is, try to conceal your true intentions, and then make a big move, and there is nothing to talk about.

In fact, there is no need for any flowers, Taiyi Pass, as a Xiongguan that separates the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Plains, has not fallen for 10,000 years. The sturdiness of its walls, as well as the large array that supports it, can almost be desperate, coupled with the fact that the current commander Gu Shenji has adopted a turtle tactic to greatly increase the strength of the city's defenses, and without millions of elite legions, it is a luxury to want to climb its tower.

As for other conspiracies, it is even more difficult to use, Taiyi Pass is completely isolated from the inside and outside, and there is no possibility of deceiving the city gate, or sneaking in to open the city gate, except for the storm, there is no other way.

Chen An and the others discussed for a long time, and there was only one way to raid.

This time, all the supernatural magicians above the second grade of the original Twelve Liancheng, including the super grade, were organized into an army, and Chen An personally led the attack. Then it will be met by the team that feints to attack the city-states of all races.

As for the god rank, it is useless in this war, after all, they have geographical restrictions, and the combat power they can exert on the wall of Taiyi Pass will not be much stronger than that of the first- and second-grade high-level secret magicians.

Instead of sending them to be cannon fodder, it is better to put them in the Twelve Cities to be on guard, and they may face a counterattack after defeat.

So the plan is set, and it will be done at the right time.

Wen Liang hesitated a little when he heard this, and paused before saying, "The date is set three days after Your Majesty chooses a concubine." ”

Chen An nodded, not surprised, they are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, what style can they expect them to carry forward, but this is okay, everyone won't have too many worries during the war, and they can cooperate with Jin Cheng once.

"Well, things should be done sooner rather than later, the day after tomorrow will be set for the day after tomorrow, and strive to complete the selection and appointment of all concubines within one day, and we will set off on the western expedition in five days. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister does everything. ”

Wen Liang said that he was about to retire, but was stopped by Chen An: "The prime minister is slow, there is still something I want to discuss with the prime minister." ”

"Your Majesty, please. ”

Wen Liang didn't dare to slack off on Chen An's words, not because Chen An was the emperor, but just because Chen An was a person. The other party's determination, courage, and pattern are all the only things he has seen, and he may still be slightly lacking in diplomacy and emotion, but no one is perfect, who can achieve absolute perfection.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and in his eyes, Chen An can already be regarded as a big tree that can be attached to, can perch, and has a canopy like shade and shade.

Chen An organized his words a little and said: "I have heard that there is a cloud in the art of war: the husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and the man who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, he has to be counted as little. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts. Before the war, all things were taken into account, and maybe after the war it would be much easier. ”

"This time the attack is carried out, if it fails, it will naturally be all suspended, and the gods seem to be able to resist the counterattack of the Changfeng army and protect us, but in fact, our actions will inevitably attract the revenge of the great cadres, if they are willing to give up some interests, stop the war with the grasslands and the Western Regions, and go all out to deal with us, even if we have more gods, it will be more than lucky;"

I believe that the prime minister should also understand the truth that if we defend for a long time, it is tantamount to another big gamble, so we might as well attack quickly, quickly take down the entire Yunhuang as quickly as possible, and use the Yunhuang and Qinzhou 10,000-year pass to resist the cadres. ”

Wen Liang listened to Chen An's eloquent talk here, first surprised, and then smiled with relief: "I don't want Your Majesty to have such insight in military affairs, this plan has been discussed with Jiang Luhanmo and others, and I also think it is feasible, I was going to present it at the court meeting in two days, since Your Majesty has already mentioned it, then I will talk to Your Majesty first." ”

"Your Majesty, please look at the ...... from Taiyi Pass to Tianfang Village, then to Heluo Sui Camp, Haili Road, Changfeng Army, Dongxing Army, and finally Wannian Pass," Wen Liang said as he took out a scroll of maps from his sleeve and slowly unfolded them, explaining them in detail for Chen An.

Seeing that he was carrying a map of the Cloud Wilderness with him, obviously discussing this matter with others, Chen An couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and what he racked his brains to think of, it turned out that others had already seen through it. However, I have a specialization in the art industry, and I spend a lot of time and experience on cultivation, and other aspects are naturally insufficient, so I can't blame myself for being stupid.

With a simple word of self-comfort, Chen An's mind fell on Wen Liang again, and he listened carefully to the other party's story.

"In our calculations, once the Taiyi Pass is broken, the Tianfang Village behind will be known at the first time, and after that, the news will spread to the direction of Daqian at the speed of spreading in one place every day, and reach the ears of the Qinzhou army. ”

"As an army established on the basis of sectarian forces, the Qinzhou Army is naturally a little sluggish in its orders from the central government, and it will take at least three days to send them back to the central government, and it will take more than half a month for the central government to respond, assemble a large army, and go over. That is to say, we must penetrate the entire cloud famine within a month, so that we can achieve the goal of rejecting the cadres with the 10,000-year pass. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Qinzhou army will suddenly convuls, leave its post without permission, and intervene in the battlefield, which may shorten the time for us by half. ”

Chen An was silent for a short time and asked, "How long does the Prime Minister think it will take to break through the entire Cloud Wilderness?"

"With the logistics in place and the food sufficient, the 100,000 cadres will be able to break through the clouds and famine, day and night, as for us. The logistics are insufficient, the materials are insufficient, the troops are insufficient, and the Twelve Cities blindly sneaked into the depths of Donglai back then, making the supply line of the expedition extremely long now, and with our current situation, we want to penetrate the entire Cloud Wilderness......"

Wen Liang shook his head and didn't say any more.

Chen An was also a little gloomy when he saw him, and the slight excitement just now disappeared, and he had to give in to reality.

The reality is not a matter of time, but with the ability of Daqi, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through the clouds.

Therefore, Chen An couldn't help but change his question: "Then where does the prime minister think we can hit?"

This time, Wen Liang did not hesitate to point out a location on the map in his hand and replied: "Heluosui battalion, not can, but must take Heluosui battalion, this elite army of the original East China Sea training corps, in this hundred years of nothing to do, has built countless fortifications in the garrison, combined with the natural danger of this area itself, it may be more difficult to deal with than the Zhitai level." If we can take it down and repel the cadres, we will definitely be able to provide a great guarantee. ”

"The prime minister is far-sighted, I am relieved, so it is all thanks to the prime minister's control, if this battle is won, the prime minister is quite the first credit. ”

"The minister does not dare to take credit, but His Majesty can be powerful, and only His Majesty can be blessed. ”

After the discussion, Wen Liang retired, and Chen An was the only one left in the hall, which was indeed a little deserted.

Chen An's eyes couldn't help but fall on the pamphlet in his hand again, thinking in his heart, there are almost more than a thousand people here with eight maids, thinking that in this palace, the manpower is almost enough, so it seems that this matter is not too bad.

However, thinking that these 174 people were all concubines, Chen An still had some kidney pain.

So, he shouted in the direction of the inner sanctum, "Come." ”

But in a moment, two slender figures walked out of the inner hall, came to Chen An, and bowed, "Ask Your Majesty." ”

"I'm here. Chen An rushed to the visitor: "Ah Li, I have a matter here that needs to be entrusted to you." ”

"At Your Majesty's command. ”

The people who came were Jiang Li and Jiang Zi, they were originally Chen An's subordinates, and later followed Chen An to the three towns to pioneer, until Chen An became the emperor, they did not return to the Gaoyang clan, but made a break with the clan and continued to stay and do things for Chen An.

After this palace was built, they were arranged by Wen Liang to become court ladies and take charge of internal affairs, because Chen An really had no eunuch henchmen to trust and rely on. Although they are Jiang Luhan's people, they do have some abilities and can be appointed.

Chen An handed the booklet in his hand to Jiang Li and instructed: "Sort out this booklet, the interpersonal relationships will help me straighten out, and I will be useful later." ”

"The minister commanded. ”

Jiang Li is a female official, and she can be called a minister according to the rules of Daqi.

Chen An thought about it and turned to Jiang Zi and said, "I want to go out, you prepare a car for me." ”

"The minister commanded. ”

The two retired and went separately, while Chen An glanced at Jiang Zi's back quietly, his face full of embarrassment. The reason why he temporarily decided to hand over the booklet to Jiang Li just now was because he suddenly thought of Jiang Zi's identity.

As Jiang Gan's daughter, her name is also on that booklet.
