Text Chapter 940: The Difficult Sutra
The Tianji Continent has been peaceful for nearly a month, and there is no war between the three empires, but the troops on the border are increasing, so that the Tianjue Empire's million-strong army Chen Bing outside the forest of no return, making the Tianji Empire, Heishi The empire trembled and tossed and turned sleeplessly.
At night, the roar of wild beasts came from the silent night sky. Not only wild beasts were overgrown in the Forest of No Return, but also the family of demon spirits lived there. One of the reasons why the Tianjue Empire has not violated the border for a long time.
In a camp of white tents, the king's flag was waving.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Yu invited the officials to a banquet, but instead of wine, they used tea. The teacups filled with a faint fragrance were placed on the table in front of the officials, and Chen Yu personally gave the banquet to the officials. Tea was poured into each cup on the plate, and the ministers stared dumbfounded, but no one spoke. Since Chen Yu, the new emperor, has always been so unpredictable since he succeeded to the throne.
"Fuli tea can clear the mind and eyesight, and it can also keep people calm, so that people will not lose their minds in the face of big right and wrong."
Chen Yu said: "I think all my lovers must want to ask me why I serve tea. The reason is the same. Good wine can inspire people and unite people, but it can also make people drunk and lose their fighting spirit. At this moment, if we can't maintain Keep calm, and you will inevitably end up with a country ruined and a family destroyed.”
Dongcheng King narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true."
And Liao Yang, who was dressed in soft armor, also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said: "The tea made by Your Majesty really makes people have a long aftertaste, admiration."
At this time, a burly general with a bearded face cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the 400,000 army of the Tianji Empire suffered a tragic defeat in the Broken Cauldron Realm. Only less than 8,000 people returned to the mainland, and the rest have been beheaded or captured. At this time, the Tianji Empire only had the Yanji Corps and the Lanji Corps under the command of General Zhang Sheng, and even Marshal Bei Minghuan was beheaded by Lin Muyu from the Broken Cauldron Realm. .”
"oh."
Chen Yu looked up and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Lord Zhou Binlong, the leader of the Dijue Corps. You are right. The Tianji Empire was indeed defeated in the Broken Cauldron Realm, but you were wrong about one thing. Their strength It has not been weakened too much. The Yanji Corps and the Lanji Corps together still have at least 500,000 troops, plus the newly recruited Corps, there are at least 700,000 troops. Although Bei Minghuan is dead, there are more troops. If we declare war on the Tianji Empire, we will force Sikong's famous Tianji Sect to join the war. Joining hands with the demon emperor female slayer who has not returned to the forest, I am afraid that the situation will change rapidly, and it will be our Tianjue Empire who will be at a disadvantage."
Zhou Binlong was stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, is it that we are waiting here? Millions of troops consume a huge amount of food every day, and transporting military food is labor-intensive. At least three million civilians are transporting food every day. If things go on like this, our national strength will be completely dragged down by this war that is fought but not fought."
"I know, Zhou Tong is the first to sit down." Chen Yu raised his palm, and following his gesture, Zhou Binlong sat down slowly.
"Sovereign Han Yuan, what do you think?" Chen Yu cast his gaze on Han Yuan who had been silent all this time.
Han Yuan's cultivation is profound, but he just smiled lightly: "I don't know anything about the military and the country. Your Majesty can make a decision by himself. Don't ask me. Whenever you need my Heavenly Sect, I will definitely help you."
"Okay, thank you suzerain."
Chen Yu cupped his hands in salute, and then turned his gaze to Dongcheng King: "Look."
Dongcheng King is the supreme leader of the 300,000 Tianjue Legion and the person who is most familiar with the art of war in the Tianjue Empire. Naturally, he will be asked in the end.
"Hey……"
Dongcheng King laughed dryly, stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, the situation has been completely reversed at this time. The focus of the Tianji Empire's war has completely shifted from the Broken Cauldron Realm to the Tianji Continent. His nature will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack us head to tail, so I think that if we want to fight, we can only fight against the Tianji Empire, and the Blackstone Empire will let them mess around. It is said that the mercenaries near the capital of the Blackstone Empire are in chaos. Emperor Shiyuan has already had enough headaches to solve the problem of mercenaries, and he is simply unable to manage the border."
"Well, it makes sense, and then."
"Compared with the Tianji Empire's army, our army has several weaknesses and several advantages."
Chen Yu's eyes lit up: "Dongcheng King, please tell me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The King of Dongcheng bowed his hands and continued: "The first weakness of our army is that our army is too chaotic and lacks training at ordinary times, and our Tianjue Empire has not experienced a real war for too many years. I am afraid that the soldiers will Unable to adapt, the second weakness is that our equipment is far inferior to that of our opponents. The craftsmen of the Tianji Empire are ingenious and can forge fine steel swords, but most of the common weapons of our Tianjue Empire are made of iron, even Some subordinate regiments still use bronze artifacts, which are completely vulnerable on the battlefield. The third weakness is that our food reserves are far less than that of the Tianji Empire. Although our country has a vast territory, the area of cultivated land is not as good as that of the Tianji Empire. The number of troops on the battlefield is far greater than that of the opponent, and if we fight a war of attrition, we will be dragged down."
Chen Yu frowned, and the weaknesses listed by Dongcheng King were like a sharp knife piercing his heart. He nodded and said: "You are right, so if our country goes to war with the Tianji Empire, wouldn't it be a lost cause? .”
Dongcheng King shook his head and smiled: "That's not the case, we still have a few advantages."
"Please say."
"The first advantage is the Dragon Knights. According to our information, the Tianji Empire suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle between the Broken Ding Realm and the Great Qin Empire. Half of the nearly 200 dragon knights were lost in a blink of an eye. Today's Tianji Empire only has fifty dragon knights at most, and their dragon nests for thousands of years of cultivation and rest are almost destroyed. On the other hand, we have more than four hundred dragon knights in the Tianjue Dragon Knights. It is enough to win the world. The second advantage is the will of the people. The Tianji Empire launched an expedition against the Broken Ding Realm. The result was a crushing defeat. The people in the country were full of resentment and bandits were rampant. Bei Mingyuan not only had to deal with us, but also sent troops to suppress it everywhere. Those rogues and rioters, although their troops are elite, they will be far inferior to ours in number. The third advantage, civil strife, yes, that Hui Angel Zi Ye is strong, but he is also arrogant and defiant. He thinks he is sent by the heavens Angel, who is supercilious, will definitely not pay attention to the emperor Beimingyuan, who has a low level of cultivation. No one knows whether Beimingyuan or Ziye has the final say in the current Tianji Empire. , the Tianji Empire will naturally have civil strife."
After speaking, the King of Dongcheng paused, with a proud smile in his eyes: "Although our army has three major weaknesses, we also have three major advantages. As long as we can persuade the demon spirit clan to assist, we will naturally be able to wipe out the Tianji Empire in one fell swoop." .”
"Destroy the Tianji Empire." Chen Yu suddenly smiled.
"Why, doesn't Your Majesty want to destroy the Tianji Empire?" Dongcheng King was stunned.
"Of course I want to, but I can't." Chen Yu squinted his eyes and said, "The Tianji Empire has deep roots and leafy leaves. How can it be wiped out in three or two years? What's more, the Tianji Sect has not yet done anything. Well, who can predict the outcome, and besides... Dongcheng King, you see everything clearly, don't you think that our number one enemy is no longer the Tianji Empire?"
Dongcheng King was dumbfounded: "It's not Tianji Empire, who is it?"
Chen Yu picked up the teacup, held it up to the West, and said with a smile, "We are friends from the West."
"Your Majesty means... the Great Qin Empire in the Broken Cauldron Realm."
"That's right."
Chen Yu's face turned cold, and said: "Being able to defeat the joint expeditionary forces of the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire, and behead Baili Qin, Bei Minghuan, Han Shu and others, in terms of strategy and force, the Great Qin Empire is not in the sky at all. Above the Ji Empire, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Xu Jiantao, and Wei Chou are all invincible generals, to have such friends, I really don't know if it is the luck or misfortune of my Tianjue Empire."
The King of Dongcheng nodded his head and pondered, and said: "I also know that His Majesty and Lin Muyu are close friends, and they are already in love with each other."
"One moment and another moment." Chen Yu said: "In the past, it was Lin Muyu who needed our Tianjue Empire to contain the two great empires. Now that Lin Muyu has unified the Broken Cauldron Realm, no one knows what he thinks. He will be willing to do things with me , to split the world, or to send troops to the east to seize the world of my Tianji Continent."
Dongcheng Wang said: "Based on what Your Majesty knows about him, what kind of person is he?"
Chen Yu smiled lightly, and said to himself: "The calm is like a cold pool, the movement is like a torrent, with a strategy in mind and great ambitions in his heart, no one knows what kind of person Lin Muyu is. King, that's fine, but if Lin Muyu has the world in mind, it will be a disaster for the entire Tianji Continent, and we have to guard against it."
"Yes, I understand."
At this moment, Liao Yang suddenly smiled: "I think, Your Majesty need not be so nervous."
"Why." Chen Yu was stunned.
Liaoyang said: "According to the latest information we have learned, Lin Muyu previously issued an edict allowing local officials to recruit soldiers and horses and recover cities by themselves, and this edict caused more than a hundred people to appear in the twelve provinces of the Great Qin Empire. There are a total of 700,000 or 800,000 people, but these princes are unwilling to be restrained by Lin Muyu, so they set up a parliament, and even tried to build a parliamentary army to compete with the 100,000 regular army held by Lin Muyu. Now, Lin Muyu has been forced to cut He lost his title of king of Qin and was downgraded to just a commander, and even the power of the empress Qin Yin has been divided a lot, so... now Lin Muyu should be too late to take care of himself, how could he come to counterattack my Tianji Continent. "
Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, patted his thigh and said: "Miao Miao Miao... This is really a difficult scripture for every family. I didn't expect that the wise and decisive Lin Muyu would be so deep in the quagmire. It's great... Such a long time Come on, we can unify the entire Tianji Continent before Lin Muyu escapes from the quagmire, and I am the only one."
"yes."
Chen Yu looked at Han Yuan and said, "I've decided to go see the demon emperor and female murderer once, and ask the suzerain to go with me to make sure."
Han Yuan cupped his hands: "Follow orders."
