Dashang Palace, Fengtian Hall.
Since going to court, the atmosphere has been very heavy.
The eight tribes in Mobei sent troops, and Dashang had to respond as soon as possible to resist the eight tribes' offensive.
It has to be said that after the fall of Baidi City, Dashang was completely on the defensive. Attack and defense all depended on the faces of others.
"Dear Martial Kings, will the armies of the Eight Tribes of Mobei attack directly towards the capital?"
In the court, some civil servants who were greedy for life and fearful of death had been like ants on a hot pot after hearing the news of Mobei sending troops. After enduring it for a long time, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and asked anxiously.
In front of the ministers, the triumphant king stood quietly and ignored him.
Behind him, King Guanshan showed no intention of answering. He had never had a good impression of these old guys who were greedy for life and fearful of death.
"Hard to say."
On the side, King Donglin, who was born in a noble family, did not speak when he saw several uncles. Out of his own qualities and education, he responded politely and explained, "Although the eight tribes of Mobei are marching towards the capital, but, Soldiers are treacherous, and tactics and strategies may change at any time, and it is impossible to judge yet.”
When King Guan Shan heard someone's nonsense analysis, he rolled his eyes and said, "Well said, don't say it next time. If you use him to say this, all fools know it."
"Kaixuan, won't you say a few words?"
In front of the two of them, King Zhongwu looked at King Triumph beside him and responded in a low voice.
"say what?"
The King of Triumph asked with a half-smile, "Are you sure about the purpose of the Eight Tribes of Mobei now? I'm not sure anyway."
For things like war, not to mention that it has not started yet, even if it does start, it may be an attack in the east and an attack in the west, and no one can predict it in advance.
After all, the initiative in today's war is not on their side, and passive defense must be a pre-emptive strike.
"King Triumphant, you have the most experience in leading troops. Tell me your opinion." On the dragon throne, the Shang Emperor looked at the Great Shang Military God in front of the ministers, and began to order people and said.
"My lord, I only have one opinion."
The King of Triumph walked out and saluted respectfully, "On the other side of the western border, we must set up a defensive posture as soon as possible to block the Tianyu Palace army from the country. In this way, I, the great merchant, can concentrate on fighting the Mobei cavalry."
"King Triumph's suggestion makes sense. The task of blocking the Tianyu Palace army must continue to be left to you, King Triumphant."
Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Shang said in a pleasant tone, "I also know that the troops stationed in the Western Region may not be enough to stop Tianyu's army. King Triumph can rest assured that I will continue to increase troops to the Western Region to help you and will not leave you alone. Fight hard.”
"Your Majesty, take the order."
The Triumphant King accepted the order and then retreated to his position.
When King Zhongwu saw the King of Triumph who came back after saying a word, he quietly gave a thumbs up and whispered, "I admire him. It seems that he said it, but in fact he didn't say anything."
Your Majesty asked for your opinion, referring to his views on resisting the Mobei cavalry. This guy's ability to directly involve the Western Region and secretly change concepts is really amazing.
No wonder this old guy is the head of King Wu, and he has never done anything to him, a relative of the emperor.
The Triumphant King heard the meaning of the words of the people around him, but he looked at the words with his eyes, nose and heart, and pretended not to hear them.
Comments?
If you can give any advice now, you can only check it out first, and don't let others take advantage of it.
"King Zhongwu, what about you?"
Emperor Shang noticed that King Zhongwu seemed to be whispering something, so he continued to name names and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"
"I think"
When King Zhongwu heard that he was called, he stepped out of the queue, bowed respectfully, and said, "First of all, we must strengthen the defense of the capital. However, there is no need to over-station troops. Our next main task is to follow the instructions of the Eight Divisions of Mobei." We will use our offensive tactics, formulate corresponding defensive methods, and fight a war of attrition with Mobei."
"Isn't this just being led by someone's nose?"
On the other side of the hall, several civil servants were unwilling to hear King Zhongwu's opinion. A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came out and questioned, "I have many generals as a great merchant, why should I act based on other people's eyes? Can't I?" Take the initiative to attack and strike first?”
When King Zhongwu heard the stupid question from the monkey behind him, he really had no desire to respond.
idiot!
He felt suffocated breathing under the same sky as these idiots.
"Of course not."
Behind the King of Triumph, King Guanshan couldn't bear it anymore and taunted, "Because war is fought by soldiers with their lives, not by your upper lip and lower lip. If you say preemptive strike, we must first strike first." Only then can we formulate the most appropriate tactics according to the purpose of the north. If your Excellency has different opinions, I can take you with me on this expedition to ensure that you give full play to your talents."
"King Guanshan, you!"
When the middle-aged civil servant with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks heard the ridicule of King Guanshan, his expression changed again and again, but he was very aware of his own caliber. How could he dare to follow the army to the front line? After all, he endured the feeling of being useless and did not dare to say anything.
"Guanshan."
Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Shang looked at the tense atmosphere below and symbolically rebuked, "Pay attention to court etiquette."
The same goes for these civil servants. Normally, the King Wu would not want to interfere with the affairs of the court and let them dominate. However, this is a time of war, and they still don't know how to interfere. Isn't it a scolding?
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
King Guanshan bowed his hands and immediately retreated.
"The commoner king."
After several veteran Wu kings expressed their opinions, Emperor Shang looked at the commoner king among the four Wu queens and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Behind King Guanshan, Huanzhu heard that he was also called, stepped out, bowed respectfully, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I agree with King Zhongwu's proposal to strengthen the defenses here in the capital, but do not increase the number of troops excessively. To cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged, the eight tribes in Mobei may not really be heading towards the capital. Let’s take a look first. Only when the war starts can we find the opportunity to counterattack. Now both sides are still hiding it. Look. Nothing can be produced, and no flowers can be produced.”
In front, the four Martial Kings heard the answer from the Common King behind them, and their faces showed approval.
good.
Although the commoner king is young, his thinking is very clear and he does not make any advances.
Preemptive strike?
Send him first!
As long as this war continues, Dashang's chances of winning are actually higher than those of the Eight Tribes of Mobei.
War is not about fighting in the arena. It is about winning beautifully. War is inherently ugly. As long as it can be won, it doesn't matter how it is done.
On the Dragon Throne, Emperor Shang heard the opinions of several Martial Kings, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's listen to the opinions of several Martial Kings. King Triumphant will first go to the west to frighten the young people in Tianyu Palace, King Zhongwu and King Guanshan. , King of Commoners, you return to the army and be ready at any time. As for King Donglin, you stay in the capital and guard the capital, just in case."
"Your Majesty, please take your orders!"
When the five kings heard the words, they marched out together and respectfully received their orders.
