Chapter 947 Shanhaiguan
As soon as Su Han's words came out, almost all the scholar-bureaucrats objected.
Even a small number of them, who were neutral before, now refuse.
Even the many generals standing behind Su Han were stunned.
It is true that they are in charge of the offense, but where is Shanhaiguan?
That is not the area of Changfeng Empire, but an area between Changfeng Empire and the four major empires.
Before the four empires besieged the Changfeng Empire, the two used Shanhaiguan as their boundary to divide the territories of each country.
But now, the four empires have conquered dozens of cities in the Changfeng Empire, and have already occupied Shanhaiguan. Once Su Han leads his troops, he will be attacked from the front and rear by the four empires. By then, Su Han and others, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!
The most important thing is that there are six million troops. Today, the total strength of the Changfeng Empire is only seven million, which is six-sevenths. Once these six million troops are completely wiped out, then the Changfeng Empire will... There will no longer be a chance to fight back, which is equivalent to sticking your neck out to be chopped.
Whenever they think of this kind of consequences, everyone is frightened and feels chills on their backs.
They even wondered whether King Qinghong was really bribed by the four empires. How could he make such a mindless request?
"King Qinghong..."
A middle-aged man behind Su Han hesitated slightly and said, "This matter... my subordinates think it is inappropriate. This matter needs to be discussed. It is better to find another way for the time being."
"Yeah, I think it's too risky too."
"No, once we are attacked from both sides, we cannot escape with only the six million troops of our Changfeng Empire."
There were waves of discussion, 99% of which were questioning Su Han's decision.
And Haicheng even said, "Qinghong, you are pushing our Changfeng Empire to death! Now that things have happened, I have said what should be said, and I have also said what should not be said! Over the years, you You have indeed made great achievements for our Changfeng Empire, but it is precisely because of this that you have suffered many injuries. Your strength is no longer what it was before, and it is not even as good as an ordinary general! Can you please It’s hard to lead troops, let alone do such a risky thing!”
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again.
What Haicheng said was true. It was true that King Qinghong had made great achievements in battle, but it was also true that his strength had been severely damaged. An ordinary general in the Changfeng Empire was probably stronger than him.
There is one thing that Haicheng didn't say, that is - your current status is all due to those military exploits, and now you are not qualified to ask for a fight again, let alone such a risky request for a fight!
Although he didn't say it out loud, everyone understood what he meant, including Su Han and Emperor Chang Ming.
Haicheng's words were meant for Emperor Changming to hear!
Sure enough, a look of helplessness appeared on Emperor Chang Ming's face. He looked at Su Han and sighed slightly in his heart.
Su Han took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is the border area between our country and the four empires. The troops of the four empires will return to Shanhaiguan to rest every half a month. This is not the case for all, but for each country. Rest. In other words, what we have to face is not 12 million troops, but only 4 million troops..."
"Nonsense!"
Haicheng interrupted Su Han's words, "First of all, can the six million troops sent by our country really be unnoticed? Second, even if they really went to Shanhaiguan and annihilated the enemy's four million troops, could it be true? Will the four empires not know about it? How much strength will our Changfeng Empire lose? If all the remaining nine million troops of the four empires are dispatched by then, what will you do? Third, once the four empires know about this , if you send troops again, you will face a pincer attack from both front and rear. Do you have the confidence to annihilate all the enemies? Fourth, if they cannot be annihilated, you will be the ones annihilated. By then, all six million troops will be annihilated. , do you think our Changfeng Empire is still capable of persisting until the end?"
Su Han said nothing. He vaguely felt that doing so would be good for him. Perhaps this was his only chance to get benefits in the ancient times.
In every era, there will be some blessings, such as ant legs from ancient times, fruits, spirits, gods-killing bells, nine-pole soul-opening chains, etc. from ancient times.
Here, Su Han doesn't know what he will get, but he has earned everything by himself.
Otherwise, how could Su Han spit on him here? What does the demise and survival of the Changfeng Empire have to do with him?
However, Haicheng's words were not unreasonable, but he didn't know that he had the ability to restore this body to its peak.
Seeing that Su Han stopped talking, Hai Cheng fell silent slightly and sighed, "King Qinghong, I know you are also doing it for the good of the empire, but your combat power is really not what it was before. There are many strong men among the troops of the four empires. , the most famous among them is King Taiyu. You should know their strength. If you were at your peak, they would not be your opponent, but at this moment..."
Haicheng didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood.
To capture the thief first, capture the king. This is also very applicable in war.
Once Su Han really led his troops forward, but before he could do anything, the enemy came and killed Su Han. Then the morale of the Changfeng Empire would be greatly reduced. How could they fight then?
"alright."
Emperor Chang Ming waved his hand with a headache and said, "Let's stop here for today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
The people below were also discussing and gradually left.
Su Han returned to his palace. As soon as he sat down, a man stood outside the door and said sharply, "King Qinghong, Your Majesty invites you."
…
Half a month later.
The troops of the four empires have already reached the city. In the past half month, two more cities have been captured by the four empires. The Changfeng Empire's troops are not even seven million, with only 680 left. One hundred thousand.
Within half a month, many scholar-bureaucrats and generals requested to see Emperor Changming, but they were all rejected.
The Changfeng Empire retreated again and again, and many cities had been completely surrounded. The shouts of killing outside the city were loud, and the people inside the city were panicked.
…
At the same time, Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan is located in the southeast area, with the sea in the south and mountains in the northwest. There is a huge canyon between the two, and this canyon is called Shanhaiguan.
The canyon is huge, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky. There have been wars here all year round, and there are countless dead souls. Some people can often hear the sound of crying.
At this moment, there are a large number of figures, densely packed, with a little fatigue and joy, coming from the direction of Changfeng Empire.
Dozens of large flags were carried among the crowd, with three large characters embroidered on them - Moon God Army!
