At first, there were still a few people who hadn't stood up. It was only when Empress Murong stood up that they followed suit. The old woman's face no longer had the calm and leisurely expression she had before. In a low voice, she said, "I know that even now, there are still people who want to attack the Eastern Front first. They believe that as long as they take over the incomplete Eastern Front in Gu Jiantang's hands, they can drive south and occupy Great 'an City in the Liyang Dynasty in one fell swoop. They feel that this is the wisest move to get things done once and for all."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the King's tent immediately became solemn. Many of the generals and the Head of Discipline had ugly expressions on their faces.
The old woman suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. "There are also people who believe that the reason I insist on attacking the Western Front is because I'm angry with Xu Xiao, who is already dead."
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh. As a result, he was glared at a dozen times by the important people in the tent. Ordinary Beimang officials had long been scared out of their wits. Fatty Dong raised his head and imitated Yelu Hongcai to pick his nose.
The old woman continued to laugh. "You can think this way if you want. It doesn't matter. I only want to tell you one thing today. The decision to attack the Western Front cannot be changed. Whoever opposes it, I'll give you one last chance. Now, leave this tent … "
Very quickly, a few elders of the King's Court snorted coldly in unison and strode out of the King's tent. These elders were all former eagles of the grasslands. Each of them had the surname Yelu. Even now, they still held considerable military power in their hands. They were like the vassals of the Liyang Dynasty. The system of the Beimang King's Court had always been loose. They each did things their own way and only accepted the Empress's restrictions in name. Among the elders, there was no lack of people who hadn't participated in the Northern Expedition against the Liyang Dynasty more than ten years ago. However, even Her Majesty couldn't settle accounts with them after the autumn. In the eyes of these elders, only the Eastern Front was profitable. The Western Front? Beiliang's 300,000 soldiers, so what if they were all killed? Beiliang was a godforsaken place. It was not even as fertile as the grasslands in their own grasslands. Marching southward, they were in Western Shu, where even Beimang children knew the rugged roads. It was a place that had never produced an emperor who unified the Central Plains. It was also a place where the Beimang Armored Cavalry had to dismount and fight. Along the way, not only would many people die, but they would also get very few things. Who would be happy? If an old woman like you is willing to listen to that bullshit Order of Peace, we won't accompany you!
Following the departure of these unruly "Yelu Wangye" in large strides, three out of ten people in the king's tent left. Fortunately, none of the Commandants and generals of the Southern Dynasty left. Furthermore, Tuoba Bodhisattva was always standing beside the empress.
Yelu Hongcai didn't move an inch and stared at the map. This old man didn't move. Although seven or eight important people in their fifties or sixties were restless, they still patiently stayed in the king's tent.
Empress Murong's expression didn't change. She didn't even look at those people's backs. She pinched a piece of charcoal with two fingers and looked at the map under her feet. She stretched out one hand and pressed it down. She smiled and said, "Let's all sit down. After all, other than our king from the Southern Courtyard and a few young men, most of them aren't young anymore. "
A group of people sat on the edge of the map. The officials who were further away from the old woman naturally sat on the territory of Liyang. The one who was furthest south sat on the territory of Nanzhao.
After waiting for everyone to "sit down", the empress joked, "I don't know how to use troops. I only know that we Beimang have millions of troops. It shouldn't be possible for them to line up at the border of Gu Serong and Long Yi prefectures. It's better for the Commandant of Peace to explain the specific matters."
The Commandant of Peace nodded. He carried the charcoal and walked to the map. However, he didn't go straight to the border of Liang Mang. Instead, he squatted down near the eastern border and drew a semicircle that faced the interior of the grassland. He calmly said, "The restoration of West Chu has restrained the military forces of Liyang's capital and its environs. However, Gu Jiantang's movements are inclined towards the south and biding his time. However, these two tendencies don't mean that Liyang will definitely watch with folded arms. It's possible that Liyang Beiliang will let bygones be bygones. We are different from the Liyang imperial court, which only thinks about gaining the most benefits in everything. Everything should be based on the worst case scenario, which is that if Gu Jiantang sends his troops to the north, it will lead to a terrible situation where the two fronts will cooperate with each other. Therefore, Old General Yelu Hongcai, Helian Weiwu, and Murong Baoding will lead their troops to pretend to pressure the border. As long as Gu Jiantang has the courage to come out in full force, we will show the corresponding courage and retreat as we fight. Then, we will retreat to the arc I drew and stop here. We won't take a single step back! "
Helian Weiwu nodded. Murong Baoding remained silent.
The bony Yelu Hongcai looked at the arc and didn't refute.
The Commandant of Peace paused for a moment and said in a flat tone, "Next, we also have two fronts to fight, but not at the same time. The southern front will be handed over to the King of the South Courtyard, Dong Zhuo. Her Majesty won't interfere with a single soldier. But before that, the northern front will be Beimang's backyard. It will be handed over to the Great General Tuoba Bodhisattva to clean up. The target will be the grassland tribes that just walked out of the King's tent. "
Yelu Hongcai's eyelids twitched. He slowly raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, isn't it easy to kill them on the spot?"
The Empress of Beimang smiled and shook her head. She replied, "Too little."
