Chapter 777 Jinxia's Strategy

Jinxia City, the General Hall of the Affairs Bureau.

Since the energy source of the patio area was connected, the oil lamps and candles in the hall were immediately replaced by vibrating lamps - even just a few handmade incandescent lamps were enough to make the hall brightly lit.

Three hours ago, the Telecommunications Department received a signal from Yama Island and successfully connected with it. So far, the sudden incident in Yama Country that day has now become a detailed report and distributed to each participant.

Although he had already seen the magic of the sound transmission instrument, Qian was still very moved when he received this report.

That happened on the other side of the sea!

In the past, there were evil spirits in the sea, and the two sides almost completely cut off contact; now even if there are no evil spirits, the strange and unpredictable ocean itself is a natural barrier. But relying on radio wave transmission, all geographical gaps have been leveled. As soon as something happened there, Jinxia City, thousands of miles away, can get the news immediately, which means that Her Royal Highness the Princess will have unprecedented control over the territory under her rule.

This magic weapon is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

If the saint is a wise ruler, it will be a good thing for the people. If the ruler is a tyrant, the difficulty of the riot will increase by several levels.

Qian couldn't help but look at Xia Fan, who was sitting at the other end of the long table.

For some reason, he felt that as long as this person was still there, Ning Wanjun would not deviate from the right path.

Another person who was shocked was Yan Yue, who had just joined the ranks of department heads of the Affairs Bureau.

It took her a long time to confirm that this was not a drama deliberately made up by the top leaders of Jinxia.

Before, she often came into contact with intelligence and letters from all over Shenzhou, but she thought it was all because Jinxia had established a huge intelligence network and thousands of people were running back and forth for these news every day.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to fall into astonishment in front of everyone, her straight eyes and twitching mouth corners still exposed her inner fluctuations.

Until Yan Qing patted her shoulder.

"It's okay, everyone came here this way."

"I think everyone should have finished reading the report in their hands." Xia Fan spoke first, "I'm sorry to call you all here so late, but this matter is extraordinary, I need to hear everyone's thoughts."

"Is Lord Xia asking for our opinions?" Yan Yue muttered softly.

She is indeed Qing Jian, but this is the first time she has officially "participated in politics".

"Unlike the Privy Council, Jinxia's major affairs are not decided by Her Royal Highness Princess or Xia Fan alone." Yan Qing taught the younger generation, "Even if there are ideas, the two will refer to everyone's opinions before making the final decision. You can choose not to speak, but if there is a part you are responsible for, you'd better tell the truth, say you can if you can do it, and say you can't do it if you can't do it. Don't agree to everything at once. Here, it's not a mistake for you to fail to do it, but it's a mistake to conceal and lie."

"Strange... I thought the Seven Stars would focus on dealing with us first." Over there, the army commander Xu Sanzhong was the first to speak, "In fact, I got a report three days ago. Reports said that the border of Leizhou was restless again. Small units of Gaoguo crossed the valley several times, seemingly conducting reconnaissance. The General Staff believed that this might be a sign that the enemy army was taking action. "

"It is indeed a bit strange." Ning Wanjun nodded, "It is a taboo to divide the troops without any meaning. When Qixing attacked Yazhou before, it was obvious that they wanted to open up the road to Jingji. Fengguo and Gaoguo joined forces to advance eastward by land, and Xuguo, Maoguo, and Qiguo advanced westward by sea, which would form a siege on Jinxia. Now Qixing suddenly attacked Xiema, and also mobilized a large number of sea vessels, which did not seem to be a reasonable approach. "

"What if we made a wrong judgment?" Chi said boldly.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it from another angle. They attacked Yazhou from the beginning not to encircle Jinxia, ​​but to find a springboard to Yama Island. Doesn't that make sense?" Chi crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly. "After all, the Wei Dynasty did the same thing when dealing with Penglai Island - in order to paralyze my ancestors, they did a lot of disguises in the palace."

"This... what you said is not unreasonable." Xu Sanzhong came back to his senses, "They divided their troops in the capital, just to prevent us from going north?"

"Maybe it's a multi-handed plan." Staff officer He Guicai put away his fan, "If Jinxia is weak and can be bullied, then why not take it down first. If it is difficult to bite it off for the time being, then naturally turn from offense to defense, and still take invading Yama Island as the main goal. In this way... why did they station troops in Yazhou, and why did they give up halfway after encountering setbacks, all of this can be explained."

Because the Seven Star Privy Council was delayed like this, it had no time to put more power on the game with Jinxia City.

This statement won the approval of most people.

As the saying goes, plans are not as fast as changes. The Privy Council probably did not expect that the princess, who was at a disadvantage on the surface, would take the initiative to attack and hit them head-on at sea.

The powerful naval combat capabilities of the tree boats and new weapons made the other side realize that as long as they had the sea behind them, Jinxia City would not be so easy to conquer.

"It seems that the unusual movement of the Gaoguo troops is probably also putting pressure on us." Ning Wanjun thought, "The question is... what do they want to get, so they regard Yama Island as the primary target?"

Several eyes immediately fell on Yan Yue.

The latter waved his hand hurriedly, "I know no more than you. When I was in the Privy Council, other Taoists never talked to me about decision-making."

Xia Fan turned his eyes to Sikong.

As the owner of the escape tower, she possesses extremely ancient and rich information. In addition, she has absorbed a large amount of information from the times in recent weeks, so she may be able to discover some clues.

The latter rolled his eyes back at him.

I have to say that this guy's use of expressions is even better than before.

"Perhaps only the Seven Star Envoy knows the real answer." Xia Fan withdrew his gaze, "Now Princess May is in trouble and urgently needs Jin Xia's support, so our decision is crucial. There are only three choices, stand still, counterattack Shangyuan, and In my opinion, to send troops to do nothing is the best option——"

"I think so too," the princess interrupted.

"Okay..." Xia Fan changed his words, "That's what we think. As for the other two strategies, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you ask me what I think, I would prefer the last one."

He stood up and pointed the wooden whip in his hand to the northeast corner of the map on the wall, "That is to support the evil horse and fight against the Seven-Star Privy Council head-on!"

"Going to sea?" Yan Yue couldn't help but whispered to Yan Qing, "This is obviously not a good idea, right? Not to mention that long-distance combat is a huge disadvantage. Is that island more important than Shangyuan City, the capital of Qi State? …”

"If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot." The latter encouraged, "Don't worry, no one will blame you at the meeting."
