Chapter 1576: Late at Night, I Play the Emperor's Memorial (for the Leader, Just for the Common People, I Return to the Game and Add 33 Chapters)

In the year 3920 of the Dao calendar, Linzi was in turmoil.

After the timeline advanced to December, it became unprecedentedly intense!

First, the army that attacked Xia was blocked in front of Tongyang City.

After the initial momentum, it soon entered a long tug-of-war.

The Qi army arrived at Tongyang City on November 20th.

On the same day, Xie Huaian led 300,000 coalition forces from the Eastern Region and sent troops to Linwu. Chen Fu led 300,000 county troops and sent troops to Youping.

There was no further progress after that.

It took four days to change the flag of Fengjie Prefecture.

After half a month of fighting, they failed to occupy Linwu and Youping!

As we all know, Qi's attack on Xia was a strategic space under the world situation and an unprecedented opportunity for the Jingmu War. It must be fast!

Even the common people's discussions on the streets had this consensus.

But after Cao Jie reached the Xiangyou Prefecture of Xia, he actually began to dawdle. It is said that he only trained outside Tongyang City every day, and rode to Jiangyin Plain many times to enjoy the scenery, and did not ask about the wars on the north and east lines.

Some voices gradually rose in the court and the public.

The Qi army, with a million strong troops, arrived in Xia on the eighth day. It took only one day to break Jianfeng Mountain, and another three days to occupy the entire Fengjie Prefecture! In less than a day, the Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation was broken, and the Xia Kingdom's national defense formation was forced out!

This shows how strong the Qi army is and how weak the Xia army is.

Since the Xia Kingdom was so weak, why didn't Cao Jie defeat it in one go?

Chen Fu and Xie Huaian, each leading an army of 300,000, why did they take so long to fight Youping and Linwu?

Among all the voices, there was one that spread the most widely -

Xia was so weak, and Cao Jie fought so slowly. It would have been better to let Chongxuan Chu Liang be the commander!

In the court and the public, the question of who was stronger, Cao Jie or Chongxuan Chu Liang, has always been a topic of endless debate.

In terms of status and influence in the Military Affairs Hall, the two have always been on par, with Cao Jie slightly better.

In terms of military achievements, Cao Jie has never won a famous game in his life. Chongxuan Chu Liang, however, has fought many amazing battles that can even be recorded in history, far more prominent than Cao Jie.

In terms of cultivation, Chongxuan Chu Liang, with the power of the first god in the East Region, was promoted to the current real person. In the first battle of Dongzhen, he faced the real person Chongguang of Diaohailou, which was much more prominent than Cao Jie, who had always been low-key.

And reviewing this battle against Xia.

People can also easily find that the reason why Cao Jie was able to fight quickly at the beginning was actually the credit of Chongxuan Chu Liang.

It was the fierce butcher who braved the arrows and stones and captured Jianfeng Mountain in one day, forcing Yu Liyang to retreat, thus defeating the will of the Xia army in Fengjie Prefecture, and was able to occupy the entire Fengjie Prefecture in the next three days.

But after that, in order to suppress Xiong Tu's military exploits, Cao Jie actually pressed such a talented general in front of Tongyang City and accompanied him to train slowly.

He let the battlefields of Youping and Linwu go through hardships, but did not interfere!

How strong is Qi, and how weak is Xia.

If Fengjie can be occupied for four days, why can't Xiangyou, Youping, and Linwu be occupied for four days?

If it can't be done in four days, it can't be done in fourteen days!

In such a crucial war, there is no progress in fourteen days.

What does Cao Jie want to do?

What is Cao Jie doing?

He revealed his trump card right from the start, letting Dingyuan Hou Chongxuan Chu Liang and contemporary Cuicheng Hou Li Zhengyan fight one after another, and the nine soldiers fought desperately, and directly handed over the Purple Extreme Dragon... and then started a tug-of-war?

All kinds of voices about Cao Jie being incompetent and jealous, and the emperor should let Xiong Tu replace Cao Jie, began to be rampant.

These voices had little influence at first, just the gossips of some people who didn't understand the situation.

But on December 7, 3920 of the Dao calendar, after a major news came, public opinion exploded instantly...

On this day, the Jing Kingdom, one of the six strongest countries in the world, officially launched a war of westward expansion!

After the formal military court meeting, the Junting Empire, which dominated the western part of the Northern Territory, sent General Zhongshan Yanwen of the Eagle Guard, General Jiang Kelian of the Qinghai Guard, General Xiahou Lie of the Cavalry, and General Cao Yuxian of the Shooting Sound, each leading their own army to attack the Northwest Five Kingdoms Alliance!

The six guards and seven guards of the Jing Kingdom are the foundation of this Junting Empire. But this time, four armies were dispatched at once, which was quite like thunder and jade.

When Jingmu was in full-scale war and the Qi army launched a large-scale attack on Xia, Jing seemed to have to free up its hands to deal with its "old friend" in the west.

The five countries in the bitter cold land of the northwest, Han, Tie, Liao, Zhen, and Gao, woke up and faced the shining blade of the Junting Empire.

Although the war broke out in the northwest of the present world, the impact of this incident on Qi is also far-reaching.

The world's major events are never isolated, especially at the level of the world's six strongest countries. Any action will affect the world's situation.

The war of westward expansion launched by Jing State seems to be only Jing State's own business.

But this shows a posture, and it reveals a fact-the war between you Jing Mu, my Jing State has no time to intervene.

The real army was sent out, and the real war began.

Even if Jing State wanted to withdraw and do something, it was no longer possible. Jing State threw itself into the battlefield, which meant that both Mu State and Jing State could let go more freely.

The westward expansion of Jing State actually intensified the intensity of the Jingmu War!

The chain reaction caused by this is... Qi State's attack on Xia has greater time pressure.

Because the intensity of the Jingmu War has increased, it means that the two hegemonic countries will decide the outcome more quickly.

Time is running out!

Therefore, after the Jing State launched the war of westward expansion, there were voices criticizing Cao Jie for incompetence, insulting Cao Jie for ruining the country, demanding that the front line speed up, demanding that Chongxuan Chuliang be replaced, and even demanding that the military god be armored and put on the battlefield... All of a sudden, it was unstoppable.

These voices were not all from other countries.

A large part of them were truly concerned about the Great Qi Empire and worried about this war. There was even a pessimistic statement that "if we attack Xia now, we will not be able to defeat it quickly, but will destroy it quickly"!

Public opinion fermented to this point, and it was time to respond.

Even Cao Jie, who was on the front line, felt more or less pressure.

But at this critical moment.

Chongxuan Chuliang, who was on the battlefield, traveled thousands of miles to send back a copy of "A Memorial to the Emperor at Night". It was presented to the emperor and the princes, and to all officials and common people.

In this memorial, Xiong Tu clearly stated that Cao Jie's entire strategy of attacking Xia was implemented perfectly. He was convinced that Cao Jie led the army to attack Xia.

He will strictly follow Cao Jie's military orders and contribute all his strength to accelerate the end of this war.

Regarding the debate between him and Cao Jie in the court and the public, he clearly wrote--

'In a duel of ten thousand troops, he is not as good as me. In a fight to kill millions, I am not as good as him. In this war to destroy the country, I should follow his tail! '

It can be regarded as personally putting an end to the dispute between him and Cao Jie's leadership ability. Ending with self-respect. Using a lifetime of honor, he fulfilled Cao Jie.

As soon as this memorial came out, it immediately extinguished the voices in the court and the public who wanted to replace Cao Jie with him.

And following closely, the military god Jiang Mengxiong publicly spoke through the Marshal's Office, saying that Cao Jie fought well in this battle, and Xia Kingdom had no chance at all, and he firmly supported Cao Jie.

Then...

The Emperor of Qi made a firm statement to all the civil and military officials in the court:

"In the war against Xia, I will not interfere with Cao Jie. I will unconditionally support Cao Jie! If Cao Jie says we will fight for one year, I will support him for one year. If Cao Jie says we will fight for ten years, I will support him for ten years!"

So all the voices were silenced.

The public opinion trend caused by countless secret pushers was quelled.

After all, the Emperor of Qi even said "fight for ten years", and Cao Jie has only been dawdling for more than ten days, so what is there to be anxious about?

It's the last day of this month!

It will be a waste if you don't vote for the monthly ticket!

Brothers and sisters, please support Cao Shuai with the monthly ticket!

We will fight for ten years! (Not)

...

This chapter is 2k, so of course there will be a normal update in the evening.

There will be one at 11:50 pm. (This time point can help people who often waste monthly tickets to vote for monthly tickets. Then wait ten minutes, it's the next month again. I am worthy of it!)
