The officials from the two countries understood what was going on.
Fang Yun wanted to use the body of a Grand Scholar to go against Xin Zhi's Dao of War!
A Grand Scholar who was less than twenty years old with a minor in military strategy was going to fight against a Hanlin Academy soldier who was almost fifty years old!
Although the officials from Jingguo did not object, they were still worried. They had heard that Fang Yun was a minor in military strategy, but he was only a minor in military strategy. Furthermore, he had never led an army personally. He did not have any experience in commanding. He had not even been to the thirteen cloud ladders.
However, most of the people from Jingguo still had some hope in their hearts.
The officials from Gyeongo were stunned for a moment. Then, they suppressed the joy on their faces.
Fang Yun became Xusheng because of his talent in poetry and not because of his talent in military strategy.
Everyone knew that poetry and poetry were the most important. However, military strategy was different. Talent was less than thirty percent. In theory, it was twenty percent. The last fifty percent was completely determined by actual combat experience!
Many generals had been defeated for decades. However, they were able to win at the most crucial moment. From then on, they would win every battle.
The Sun family had countless geniuses. However, no matter how outstanding the geniuses were, the Sun family was willing to send them to dangerous places to lead troops. It would be best if they were alive.
Military strategy was forged between blood and injury. It was forged between life and death!
Those who only studied military strategy could win for a while, but they could not win for a lifetime!
Some of the officials from Gyeongo looked at Ren Baqian with contempt. Military strategy focused too much on actual combat. Therefore, they despised Fang Yun who had never led an army in battle.
However, among the officials from Gyeongo, seven of them had participated in the Grand Scholar Spring Hunt last month. Two of them had even been promoted to Hanlin Academy!
The seven of them were stunned when they heard that Fang Yun wanted to fight with military strategy.
Everyone knew that Fang Yun was a minor in military strategy. However, not many people had seen the power of Fang Yun's military strategy!
The seven of them had seen how Fang Yun used the power of the Divine Blood and military strategy to seize the power of the plague for his own use! They believed that even the best Hanlin Academy soldier could not do it, let alone a Grand Scholar!
The seven of them looked at each other. They were different from the other officials from Gyeongo. They thought that Fang Yun had a higher chance of winning.
But the seven of them couldn't say a single word!
Because Half-saint had sealed their mouths!
The seven of them suddenly smiled bitterly. In the past, they hadn't been able to figure out why the half-step Sage had sealed their mouths. But now, they understood that no one knew how powerful Fang Yun's military strategy was. He also did not know that Fang Yun's medical book had an additional powerful medical classic!
The power of the plague in the Book of Diseases could not defeat the three strongest of the Ten Grand Scholars, but it could definitely force the three to use their trump cards. If he encountered other Grand Scholars, he could definitely defeat them directly! ....................................................................
. If the Emperor of Qing knew about this, he would not agree to a military confrontation. He would even think of ways to stop Fang Yun from waging a civil war!
The seven of them looked at each other again and lowered their heads. They were afraid that they would accidentally reveal Fang Yun's true power and be punished by the Notre-Dame.
Xin Zhi's eyes flashed with joy, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said humbly, "This … is not good. If I win, people will say that Gyeongo is bullying the weak."
Fang Yundao said, "To prevent people from saying that Gyeongo is bullying the weak, I have an idea. This civil war only involves the nine prefectures of Xiangzhou. If Jingguo uses Grand Scholars to fight against Hanlin Academy, Gyeongo adds another prefecture, no one will criticize us. "
Xin Zhi was stunned and felt helpless. He knew that Fang Xusheng had a backup plan. He opened his mouth and said that he would bet a prefecture.
Gyeongo was rich, especially near Xiangzhou. There were no lower prefectures. They were all middle or upper prefectures.
A prefecture's land seemed small, and taxes and food were limited. However, it involved millions of people. The most important thing was talent. A prefecture's land could produce close to a thousand scholars and close to a hundred scholars. On average, there would be at least two Grand Scholars every year. This was a great fortune for any country.
The Emperor of Qing was also helpless. As long as Fang Yun did not enter the civil war, he was truly Xusheng. He could not even berate him, much less scold him. If it had been the great scholar of Jingguo who said this, he would have reprimanded him in public.
Not long ago, Gyeongo and Wu Guo had a bad relationship. The two countries waged a civil war. Gyeongo had several prefectures seized by Wu Guo, causing the Emperor of Qing's reputation to plummet. If he lost the nine prefectures of Xiangzhou and one prefecture, he could only prepare to abdicate early.
The Emperor of Qing hated Fang Yun's civil war to the core. If he lost, it would be a great blow to him.
However, other than hatred, the Emperor of Qing also had strong expectations. He hoped that Gyeongo would win the civil war.
As long as Gyeongo defeated Fang Yun, the Xusheng, the Emperor of Qing's reputation in Gyeongo would return to its peak. It might even surpass its peak. After all, ever since Fang Yun became famous, Gyeongo had been repeatedly suppressed by Fang Yun.
For this battle, the Emperor of Qing personally visited one of the ten Grand Scholars, Qu Hange. He also received the other nine Grand Scholars. Before the civil war, he gave them a lot of benefits and promised that whoever could defeat Fang Yun would be conferred the title of Duke.
Fang Yun was only a Duke Zhen.
Fang Yun had taken the initiative to ask for a confrontation on the Way of War. That was equivalent to turning the original ten battles into eleven. If Fang Yun won, he would expend energy. If he lost, not only would he expend energy, but his will would also be worn down. Whether he won or lost, it would increase Gyeongo's chances of success.
Last night, the Emperor of Qing had already discussed with the ten Grand Scholars. His chances of winning were at least 65%.
In particular, Qu Hange and Zong Jibing did not take Fang Yun seriously at all. Both of them wanted to advance the civil war with Fang Yun, hoping that they could defeat Fang Yun. However, in the end, they listened to the arrangements of the officials and were ranked eighth and tenth.
The Emperor of Qing's rationality told him that Fang Yun had made a big mistake. Now, Gyeongo's chances of winning were as high as 70%.
However, as long as it was not a 100% chance of winning, there was still a risk.
The Emperor of Qing pondered for a moment and scanned the officials of Gyeongo.
Ninety percent of the officials' eyes were especially bright and filled with anticipation.
The Emperor of Qing did not care about the reactions of the seven people.
The Emperor of Qing sighed in his heart. If he refused, his position in the hearts of these officials would drop to an extremely low position.
The officials of Gyeongo were not the Emperor of Qing's servants. They were his assistants. In addition to fulfilling their dreams of ruling the country, they also needed the resources of the royal family of Gyeongo.
The Emperor of Qing looked at Xin Zhi and said, "Official Xin, what do you think?"
Xin Zhi was stunned. He immediately understood that the Emperor of Qing was throwing a hot potato at him. He thought about it silently.
If he did not agree to compete with Fang Yun in terms of military strategy, he would most likely be used as a scapegoat by the Emperor of Qing when he lost the civil war. If he agreed to compete with Fang Yun in terms of military strategy, it would be the same if he lost. However, if he won, he would be honored and his status in Gyeongo would rise.
As long as he was valued and cultivated by the royal family of Gyeongo, he would most likely become a Grand Scholar within twenty years and have the qualifications to become a Prime Minister.
Furthermore, Xin Zhi was only in the Hanlin Academy. It would be difficult for him to leave his name in the history books. If he could compete with Fang Yun in terms of military strategy and win, he would definitely leave a deep mark in the history books and become the first person to truly defeat Fang Xusheng.
Even if he lost, there was a high chance that his name would appear in the history books. Although his reputation would not be good, it was better than being unknown.
Xin Zhi thought for a long time. He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, I am willing to compete with Fang Xusheng in terms of military strategy and face off against each other."
