In the throne room, a few scholars remained silent.
Among them was Zong Xuan, who had been temporarily killed in battle.
"General Zong, why aren't you saying anything? You're even frowning. Are you scared by the battle at Yueyang City? "
Based on the Zong family's temper, if anyone dared to speak to them like that, they would all attack them.
But now, no one spoke up for Zong Xuan.
Including Zong Ganyu.
Because after that battle, Zong Xuan seemed to have changed into a different person.
Some people even suspected that his courage had been covered in dust or even cracked.
At first, many people sympathized with him because this was probably the worst loss in history. The enemy did not send a single person, and three million soldiers were defeated.
No one died in that battle because the enemy was too benevolent and too strong. They were so strong that they did not need to kill to obtain absolute victory.
But after a few days, everyone realized that Zong Xuan had changed too much. He would occasionally say that Gyeongo was not good, but he would not say a word about Jingguo.
Therefore, many people were unwilling to speak to him.
"This old man is a general of a defeated army. I have nothing to say about my temporary death." In less than a month, Zong Xuan's face was covered in wrinkles. His skin was like a tough beef tendon that had turned into minced meat, loose and loose.
"Why do you have nothing to say? Not long ago, you said that all the civil and military officials were trash! "
Everyone looked at Zong Xuan strangely.
"I said it out of anger." Zong Xuan leaned back on the chair like a big dough.
"Even if it's out of anger, it's too much!"
"Alright, it's not out of anger. I'll repeat it again. In front of that person, all the civil and military officials are trash! "Zong Xuan slowly raised his head, straightened his body, and scanned the crowd with his bright eyes.
Everyone was stunned. Everyone wanted to fight back, but when they saw Zong Xuan's eyes, they did not dare to speak.
Because deep in their hearts, they felt that Zong Xuan was right.
Compared to Fang Yun, everyone present was indeed trash.
"General Zong, you're overestimating others' morale and diminishing our own! Even if we're not as good as that person, we can't just surrender! "
Zong Xuan glanced at that person coldly and said, "Since you want me to say it, it's very simple. Jingguo's sudden appearance … Yep, it's called Black Art. Even the Saints were unable to predict it. There was no problem with our first battle to seize a province, and Uncle Zong wasn't wrong either. However, in the face of such a powerful force, you are still trying in vain to stop it. You are too stupid, too stupid! Yes, you didn't hear wrong. I'm saying that those who still think that Gyeongo has a chance of winning are all idiots! Our only hope is Zong Sheng! From now on, other than him, we will lose all our battles! Therefore, what we need to do now is very simple. We need to stall Jingguo. Even if we have to cede territory and beg for peace, we must do it! Once Jing Kingdom starts to counterattack according to its own pace and carries out a counterattack to seize a province, we will become the sinners of Qing Kingdom! "
"Mr. Zong Xuan, are you going to hold a debate? No matter how weak Gyeongo is, I can still fight Jingguo. "
"No!" Zong Xuan said.
"You …"
"Alright! Zong Xuan's opinion is a new direction, "Zong Ganyu said.
"However, if we really drag this out, what if Jingguo makes up for the flaws in the new mechanism …"
Everyone felt a headache coming on. They were in a dilemma. They had to stall for time, but they had to stall for time until the right moment. If they were not careful, they would be doomed. However, Jingguo was not stupid. Once they discovered Gyeongo's intention, they would definitely change their mind.
"I think we should take two steps. On one hand, we can numb Jingguo and send a delegation to ask for peace and find out their intentions. Since they want to have such a big advantage, they will not just negotiate. They will definitely negotiate while seizing a province. Currently, it seems that Yongzhou, which is the furthest away from us, is their best target. Yongzhou is useless to begin with, so it doesn't matter if we destroy it. In that case, we will fight them in Yongzhou. Since they are negotiating, they will not go all out. We can use this opportunity to find the weakness of the new mechanism and find a way to deal with it. At the same time, we will try to obtain some of the new mechanism and use it to turn Gyeongo's defeat into victory! "Dai Lang said.
"I think Clan Leader Dai is an experienced person."
"I support Clan Leader Dai!"
Zong Ganyu nodded and said, "I support Brother Dai's plan. Who disagrees?"
No one said anything.
"Alright then, we will make a plan according to Brother Dai's plan. Let's find someone who is eloquent … What do you think about sending Yan Yukong? "
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they smiled.
"Clan Leader Zong is a genius!" Everyone praised.
"Very well …" Zong Ganyu smiled proudly. However, before she could laugh, everyone's official seals vibrated violently.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the new letter from Notre-Dame.
The moment they saw the contents of the letter, their expressions changed. Some were furious, some were sad, and some were in disbelief.
However, most of them gritted their teeth in anger after a short moment of consideration. They wanted nothing more than to fight Jingguo to the death.
"This is too much! This is too much! Pfft … "
"Clan Leader Zong!"
Zong Ganyu opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body collapsed on the wheelchair.
The School of Medicine hurriedly took out their medical books and tried their best to save her.
The Throne Room was in chaos.
Even so, some people were still sitting motionlessly. It was difficult for them to wake up from the shock of Notre-Dame's letter.
Jingguo had launched a counterattack against Gyeongo.
The target of this counterattack was not Yong State, which was separated from Xiang State by Dongting Lake.
It was Ling State, which was connected to Xi State.
Many people looked at the map in the Throne Room.
On the map, there were three states lined up on the south side of the Yangtze River.
On the left was Xiang State, in the middle was Feng State, and on the right was Ling State.
Below Xiang State, Feng State, and Ling State was the relatively long and narrow Xi State. Xi State had just been seized by Jingguo.
The three states facing the river were all connected to Xi State.
Now, Jingguo was using Xi State to launch a counterattack against Ling State.
Now, there were two huge problems in front of everyone.
The first problem was that Old Qing Capital was in Ling State. If Jingguo seized Ling State, it would be equivalent to seizing Old Qing Capital. This would be the most humiliating battle in Gyeongo's history!
Moreover, New Qing Capital was at the border of Ling State. It was less than a hundred miles away from the nearest city!
Moreover, the Xisheng Clan was also in Ling State.
The second problem was more serious.
If Jingguo seized Ling State, Feng State would be surrounded on three sides. To the north was the Yangtze River, and on the other side was Jingguo's Jiangzhou. It was basically surrounded on all sides.
Feng State was not an ordinary state. Feng State had the Zong Clan and Zong Sheng.
Fang Yun's sword array sealed off Old Peach Mountain, and Jingguo surrounded Feng State!
From then on, Zong Sheng and Gyeongo would bear eternal shame.
Everyone could only use four words to express their thoughts.
They had gone too far!
Whether it was the most domineering Wu Guo, the most prosperous Qi State, or Gyeongo, who had once suppressed Jingguo, none of them had done such a thing.
Only the barbarians and monsters could do such a thing to humiliate a country!
After everyone thought it through, their faces were ashen and filled with despair. So what if they were angry? They had asked for it!
However, everything returned to the starting point. Why did Jingguo have such powerful black arts? Why?
