Everyone in the hall was stunned, full of doubts.

Since His Majesty the Emperor had already sensed that there was a problem, why did he decide to agree to the Long Clan's conditions and take the risk to go to Kuizhou?

Sun Ning's gaze swept over these people one by one, and his tone was gentle and gratifying: "I am deeply glad that you can directly speak out to dissuade and prove that you are all loyal."

"However, there are some risks that must be taken, otherwise there will be no greater opportunities.

"You only see that most of Sichuan and Shu have entered my hands, and I feel that Kuizhou is only a corner, not worth mentioning, and you can take time to slowly subdue it. But have you ever thought that in the world, this Sichuan and Shu are not just a corner? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became more and more solemn.

What Sun Ning said is true, Sichuan Shu is too insignificant compared with the entire Central Plains, especially when His Majesty the Emperor's ambition is to regain the world, this can only be regarded as a starting point at most.

And when they fought in Sichuan and Shu and rejoiced in capturing the state capitals occupied by the barbarians, in fact, in the Central Plains outside Sichuan and Shu, the changes were greater and faster than those inside Sichuan and Shu.

Sun Ning also quickly mentioned the changes in the Central Plains that he knew: "In the past two years, the situation in the Central Plains has been very different.

And the rebel Zhao Rebellion, who had a lot of friction with them, also reached a tacit understanding with Guo two years ago and began to expand westward, taking a large area of Guanlong city one by one, and has the potential to take Chang'an and other important western towns;

"There is also the ghost Rong in the north, although they have not expanded their territory as much as the first two, but they have also learned to fight steadily, and they are not just looting and leaving as before. Instead, he has been stationed on the front line of Youzhou, wanting to turn many cities in northern Xinjiang into his own use. ”

When Sun Ning said this, his face had become extremely solemn: "Two years ago, when I just fled from Liangzhou, the world was still divided and independent, and almost every state and government was self-reliant.

"But now, those rebels who thought they could make contributions independently have long been swallowed up one by one, but they have made several forces continue to grow and become the real Central Plains world competitors, and this is only the result of half a year ago, and now half a year has passed, I am afraid that there will be another amazing change in the pattern.

"Do you really think that we will have so much time to take our time and spend time with the Kuizhou Long Clan, until they are cut off from money and food, and have to pay tribute to the court?

"I'm afraid that the day really comes, and next, it will be the turn of a certain force in the Central Plains to use the same means to inflict on us!"

These words made everyone's expressions change again, from the faint uneasiness just now to the sweat on their foreheads now.

Yes, the recent successive victories have made everyone immersed in the joy of victory, but the real threat has been ignored.

For His Majesty the Emperor and for the Dayue Imperial Court, those barbarians in Sichuan and Shu were no opponents at all, just a small twist and turn at the starting point.

The real opponents of the imperial court should be those warlords and thieves who have already supported their own troops and their power is constantly expanding!

Sun Ning let out a long breath and said solemnly: "That's why I will be in a hurry to use troops these days, and I will not hesitate to promise many benefits to the Mu clan, the Yang clan, and even the Tongchuan Tian clan, as long as they surrender, they will not be blamed in the past, and they will be given more benefits than before."

"Now it's the same for the Kuizhou Long Clan, since they have the opportunity, they should fight for it, even if they may have other intentions, they must take risks.

"Because for us, nothing else is important, time is. Only by unifying Sichuan and Shu as soon as possible, and then taking the entire southwest in our hands, can we be qualified to re-enter the Central Plains and compete for the world with those anti-thief foreign enemies! ”

This time, no one objected, and after a long silence, all of these courtiers bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty is very ashamed of what you said. The ministers will do their best to assist His Majesty to pacify Sichuan and Shu and return to the Central Plains! ”

"Everybody, all of you."

Sun Ning held his hands weakly, and then said: "Of course, this trip to Kuizhou is by no means completely unprepared, and all the preparations that should be made must be made."

"If the Long clan really has no evil intentions and really wants to surrender to the imperial court, then it will naturally be better.

"But if they really harbor evil intentions, I have already made a decision, this time I will kill a hundred people, so that the barbarians of Sichuan and Shu and the southwest can see clearly, if there are people who are really enemies of the imperial court, what will be the end!"

As these words were spoken, a trace of killing intent suddenly appeared on Sun Ning's body, which made everyone in the hall feel a chill.

It was also at this time that these courtiers, who were already familiar with Sun Ning's style of acting, understood that his majesty the emperor had already begun to plan for this adventure as early as after receiving Zhuge Qingyun's report.

It's just that for some reason, people don't know the specific plan.

Now that the matter has been decided, everyone didn't say much, but asked curiously: "Then I don't know when Your Majesty plans to go to Kuizhou?" ”

"Time is not waiting, in two days, I will set off, if everything goes well, maybe Chinese New Year's Eve can be spent in Kuizhou." Sun Ning said with a smile.

"Huh? In such a hurry? Everyone was stunned, in their minds, how could the emperor spend the New Year in Huayang, and then set off.

"Surprised? That's right. Even we couldn't have imagined that I would rush to Kuizhou so quickly, let alone the Long family. If they really had any conspiracy, they wouldn't have been ready at that time. ”

Sun Ning looked confident, and said in a deep voice again: "Also, Yanhu, Xiao Keding!" ”

"The minister is here!" The two named generals were shaken and hurriedly responded.

"You won't accompany me to Kuizhou this time, but my life and death are likely to be in your hands, and whether Kuizhou can be successfully won is also ...... you."

As he spoke, Sun Ning whispered his plan to them, and the faces of the two generals changed again, both stunned and excited, and the expressions of the others were similar.

In the end, Sun Ning set his eyes on Shen Zhou again: "Shen Zhou, everything in Huayang and other places will be entrusted to you next, you must make the place peaceful and not cause any chaos." ”

"The minister's decree, the minister will not let His Majesty have any worries!" Shen Zhou immediately expressed his position. He was well aware of how important a stable rear was to front-line operations, so he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Sun Ning smiled with satisfaction and stood up: "Everyone, the pacification of Sichuan and Shu is here." Time is not waiting for me, I hope you will work together with me to take Kuizhou! ”
