Tong Luan opened his eyes. Kang Ha-chuan had completely turned the tables on him. Yes.
This was Kang Ha-chuan's way of doing things. He didn't quarrel with anyone, nor did he use any underhanded schemes. He only announced one thing in a straightforward manner.
No matter what Minister Zuo wanted to do next, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Tong Luan finally looked at Fang Yun. No matter how good Kang Ha-chuan's timing was, he still needed chess pieces, and Fang Yun was the one who created them.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xingshu, a fourth-rank Dinghai General, said, "I am willing to throw a brick to attract jade."
"Minister Yu, feel free to speak." The Empress Dowager's voice came from behind the curtain.
Fang Yun looked at Yu Xingshu. This was an old acquaintance from Jade Sea City who had taken care of him back then.
Unlike the three armies in the north, Jade Sea City's army's goal was to prevent the Dragons from invading, but in reality, it was to guard against the Dragons. Now that the Dragons had lost their will to fight, the Flood Dragon Palace wouldn't dare act rashly.
"I believe that with Jingguo's strength, we definitely won't be able to fight against the grassland barbarians. The most important thing to do is to unite the human nations. For Jingguo's sake, we should send special envoys to the other nations in exchange for help. "Yu Xingshu said.
Fang Yun and the other officials nodded. No nation could fight against the grassland barbarians alone. Uniting the other nations was the most important thing. If the other nations didn't contribute, Jingguo would definitely lose.
"I agree with General Yu's words. At the same time, I believe that we should send someone from the School of Vertical and Horizontal to the Notre-Dame to persuade the other aristocratic families and the Kong family. If the Kong family is willing to send the Demon Suppressing Army, the other nations will definitely help."
The moment the words "Demon Suppressing Army" were mentioned, all the officials were filled with respect. Even Ao Huang became serious.
The Half-saint aristocratic families had at least a thousand soldiers, the Quasi-saint aristocratic families had at least ten thousand, and the Kong family was most famous for their Demon Suppressing Army.
The Kong Clan's Demon Suppressing Army had three armies: Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Heaven Army guarded the Kong Clan's unique ancient land. Very few people knew the name of that ancient land. The Earth Army guarded the Ten Frigid Ancient Land. On the other hand, the human army was constantly moving between the Two World Mountain, the Zhenyu Sea, and the Ancient Desolate City. Occasionally, they would return to the Saint Origin World to fight the three barbarians.
The Fixed Demon Army was famous for its ferocity. Every time the human race encountered a calamity, the Fixed Demon Army would definitely take action.
The Ding Yao Army was an army built by the Kong family with all their strength. Even the lowest ranking person in the army was a scholar. There were many High Scholars and Grand Scholars. It was a powerful army second only to the Realm Guardians.
"That's a good idea. Old Man, I'll immediately find someone in the Ministry of Rites to persuade the Kong family," the Minister of Rites said.
"Other than foreign aid, Jingguo should also change its own military forces. The two armies opposing Wu Guo and Gyeongo were transferred to the north. At the same time, he asked the Notre-Dame to take over the Desolate Demon Mountains and transfer the army stationed there to the north. With this, we will have three more armies in the north of Jingguo. "
"General Huang's words are wise. In addition, we should mobilize the whole country and expand the army. The number of soldiers should be at least one million! "
There was a short period of peace in the imperial court. This meant that the number of Jingguo soldiers had doubled. Even if the human race produced abundant food every year, it was still a considerable burden for Jingguo.
"The new army can be trained. However, the weapons used seem to be insufficient. "
"Negotiate directly with the Gongjia. The Notre-Dame will help. If the Notre-Dame doesn't help, I'll knock down the mountain in anger! It would be best if I could borrow a Sea Swallowing Seashell. "
Ao Huang smiled. He had a Sea Swallowing Seashell in his hand.
"If we could borrow a better Heaven and Earth Shell, then the human race wouldn't have to worry about food anymore. Unfortunately, we can't borrow one."
Ao Huang couldn't help but interrupt, "Don't think about the Heaven and Earth Shell. The Sea Swallowing Seashell can be exchanged with the Shocking Sage essay. I'll also give you a River-Drinking Shell. "
Fang Yun turned his head and glanced at Ao Huang. Ao Huang hurriedly shut up.
Someone said, "Prince Huang, I wonder if the Dragons will lend a helping hand."
Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun. Seeing that Fang Yun didn't stop him, he immediately said firmly, "No! My East Sea Dragon Palace strictly abides by the agreement with the Monster Race and will never help at this time. However, you humans are treacherous and cunning. If you think of some conspiracy to steal weapons from my East Sea Dragon Palace, then we can't do anything. You can ask Fang Yun about this. He's full of evil tricks. "
Fang Yun rolled his eyes at Ao Huang and said, "If the East Sea Dragon Palace fails to attack Jade Sea City and leaves behind countless swords, spears, and shields, it will be my Jingguo's spoils of war."
"You're dreaming. This dragon doesn't believe that you can defeat the Dragons of the East Sea! Wait for this dragon to go back and discuss with my sister. "Ao Huang said seriously.
Hearing that the East Sea Dragon Palace was willing to help, the officials heaved a sigh of relief. The weapons of the East Sea Dragon Palace were extremely durable and could be used by the humans with some modifications.
The scholars continued to discuss, but the Minister of Personnel looked at the Merit Department's Bureau Chief Zhuang Lu.
Zhuang Lu's expression changed as he said loudly, "This official has something to ask. Even if my Jingguo's plan is perfect and everything goes smoothly, what are the chances of success?"
"You …"
Zhuang Lu's words hit the nail on the head and no one dared to answer.
Because everyone knew that even in the best case scenario, Jingguo had less than a ten percent chance of success.
The officials could discuss because they didn't consider victory.
The Heavenly Worship Hall was as cold as winter.
After a moment of silence, Zhuang Lu continued, "The countries can't do their best to help. The nine countries can only send one army each with a fighting strength of no more than five hundred thousand. Including the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, it's no more than a million. Even if we add in the newly recruited soldiers of Jingguo, we only have 1.5 million soldiers. Even if we include the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, it's only three million. As for the Barbarian Race, if they send their entire race south, they have at least fifty million soldiers! Why didn't you mention this disparity? "
The hall was completely silent.
Yu Xingshu said in a hoarse voice, "They attack while we defend. With the help of the defensive weapons, we can delay the grassland barbarians and force them to retreat when they run out of supplies."
"Ridiculous! Even if the defensive weapons are equivalent to ten million soldiers, how can we fight against fifty million barbarians? "
Yu Xingshu remained silent. He didn't want to argue in the imperial court. He was a military strategist, not a miscellaneous person.
"Once the Demon Saint gives the order, the barbarians will definitely break into the city and slaughter it! Jingguo can retreat step by step, but that's only when we step over the corpses of the Jingguo people! "
"Then does Lord Zhuang have a good plan to retreat?" a general asked.
"Yes!"
"Please enlighten us, Lord Zhuang."
All the officials stared at Zhuang Lu, many of them with anticipation in their eyes.
"My method is very simple. For the sake of the human race, for the sake of the people, the royal family of Jing Kingdom should abdicate and give away all of our land to Qing Kingdom and Wu Kingdom. The two countries will go all out, and with the help of other countries, we will certainly force the Barbarians to retreat …"
"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, I'll let your blood splatter the throne room! "General Zhou Junhu roared. His murderous aura was overflowing, and clouds appeared above the palace.
Zhuang Lu's clothes were blown about by the strong wind, making sizzling sounds as they were torn into pieces.
Zhuang Lu was only a Jinshi while Zhou Junhu was a Grand Scholar. In terms of killing ability, he was above the Minister of the Left.
Zhuang Lu glanced at the Assistant Minister of Personnel and didn't dare to speak.
Zhou Junhu had once threatened the Minister of the Left that if there was no one around, he would kill the Minister of the Left with a verbal spear. A mere Zhuang Lu was not worth mentioning.
The Assistant Minister of Personnel, Ou Mo, coughed lightly and said, "General Zhou, you're being too impulsive. What Minister Zhuang said might not be without reason."
"You're saying that you want to defect and betray the country?" As Zhou Junhu spoke, a large number of illusory weapons appeared above the hall. Blades and spears stood tall, and killing intent filled the air.
