Southern Barbarians, Royal Palace.

Monarch Hua Zhixiao was discussing with the four elders and several ministers in the council room, and Du Jingzhong was among them.

Hua Zhi smiled and listened to the report of his subordinates on the information sent back by the East China Sea Kingdom, and his face was very serious.

She asked the four elders, "How many troops can our army draw now?"

The Great Elder looked at Du Jingzhong and said, "Jingzhong, you can talk about it." ”

Hua Zhixiao nodded at Du Jingzhong, a rare smile on his face. Because Du Jingzhong is Du Wu's nominal uncle, and he is also the hero who fled with Du Wu since he was a child, Hua Zhixiao is extremely kind to Du Jingzhong, almost the same as his attitude towards the four elders.

Du Jingzhong bowed and saluted, and said: "Returning to the patriarch, because of the great victory over the black barbarians, our clan's troops have almost not suffered losses, and now there are about 100,000 troops, of which a large part has to guard against the counterattacks of various fortresses and black barbarians, and the troops that can be drawn are about 20,000. ”

Hua Zhi smiled: "Very good, I want to order you to take 20,000 horses to the East China Sea Country to assist Wu'er, win the battle of the East China Sea, and exterminate the Suwon 321 Party, what do you think?"

Du Jingzhong said: "Wechen also wants to go to help Wu'er, but Wechen thinks that he can't rush to send troops. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"Wei Chen believes that the current situation in the East China Sea Country is unclear, and although the black barbarians have been defeated, the black barbarians are not injured at all, and they are huddled in the Viper Mountain Range, and they may make a comeback at any time. In addition, the black barbarians have 20,000 elite soldiers secretly went to the East China Sea country, and then disappeared, these 20,000 elite soldiers now do not know where the ambush is, if we are ambushed on the way to the East China Sea, our side rashly dispatches troops, without knowing the enemy's situation, it is very vulnerable to the enemy's ambush. We have no idea of the military purpose of those 20,000 elite soldiers, and it is best to find out their location and movements. ”

Hua Zhixiao nodded in agreement, and the four elders also agreed with him.

The Great Elder said: "Patriarch, why don't we send someone to lead a team of people to the East China Sea Country first, meet the little princess, and wait to understand the current battle situation before deciding whether to send troops, what do you think?"

Hua Zhixiao pondered for a moment and said: "That's fine, Elder Shaohan, you have a hidden butterfly body, this time I ask you to go out and bring some capable people to the East China Sea Country, it is rumored that the East China Sea Country is going to hold a big gathering of the rebels in East Star City, you might as well go there to find the dancers." Your insects, ants, and butterflies are extremely useful on the battlefield, and you can definitely help when you go. ”

Without waiting for Elder Shaohan to answer, Hua Zhixiao turned to Du Jingzhong again and said: "Jingzhong, you take people to Nanban Port to supervise the shipbuilding, last time Nanban Port won a big victory, we captured a lot of enemy materials, just enough to form our own fleet, we will build the fleet, if you need to send troops to the East China Sea, it is convenient and safe to take the waterway." ”

Elder Shaohan and Du Jingzhong hurriedly received the order, and everyone discussed some more details, and then ended the meeting. Elder Shaohan and Du Jingzhong went separately to make preparations and led people to Dongxing City and Nanban Port.

Before leaving, Hua Zhixiao wrote a letter and asked Elder Shaohan to hand it over to her after seeing Du Wu. The general meaning of the letter is to ask her daughter to let go and do it, and she and the whole country of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom are her strong backing, and of course she also told a lot of cautious words.

After the two of them went, Hua Zhixiao asked the Great Elder to act as the abbot of the state and practice one of the most powerful exercises in the clan in retreat. This exercise has been passed down from generation to generation in the Huaman, and only the saints of the past dynasties are qualified to practice it, and the exercise is extremely powerful, and it is said that after practice, it can compete with the top figures of the emperor level. If the cultivator himself has reached the emperor level, he can even leapfrog the level and challenge the god level. However, this technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and only two or three outstanding saints of the Hua Barbarian Clan have cultivated this skill for thousands of years.
