"Zhou Zhenwen?"
The first candidate that came to the mind of Empress Liang Zhao was Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the cabinet who had brought her many miracles.
But soon, she gave up the idea.
"No, he probably just entered the realm of Grandmaster, and the side effects of absorbing martial arts are extremely serious. If anything happens to him, it will be a huge loss to Dahuang and me..."
"He's not suitable."
Empress Liang Zhao shook her head and thought of another candidate.
"The grandmaster of the worship hall?"
"There is no need to worry about their loyalty, but they are too old. They have not fought for many years and have no desire to fight for improvement. If they rush to break through and be promoted, the success rate may not be high..."
Empress Liang Zhao knew very well that saying she was not high was just to give her face, but in fact it was very low, pitifully low.
If you want to break through the Grandmaster, you must have the determination to overcome all difficulties and have strong self-confidence.
This is not something that ordinary masters can have.
How could an ordinary master who was just waiting to die take this unprecedented step?
More importantly, the younger and stronger you are, the stronger your body is, the easier it is to break through this step. They have already missed the best opportunity.
Even if he is as strong as the brave warrior Liang Yong, he has only taken half a step through all the difficulties.
"Half-step Grandmaster?"
"Is it true that only Marquis Yongwu is the most suitable?"
Empress Liang Zhao was actually unwilling to let her second master take risks, but she had to admit that at present, this second master was the most suitable candidate. Marquis Yongwu, who was already a half-step grand master, could be used at any time. Start to advance and become a true Grand Master.
Because of the special skills, this promotion will put him in a strange state of alternation between life and death, and he may really die at any time.
Because of his impulsive investigation, Marquis Yongwu took this half-step and came back from the dead, but now he has to take the risk...
It's not that Empress Liang Zhao has never thought of other candidates, but unfortunately, none of them are suitable.
"Actually, in terms of talent, Liu Qing is the most suitable candidate, but the Liuren Divine Dice has not been found yet. It will take time for her to be promoted to Grandmaster, let alone the Great Grandmaster?"
"In terms of time, it's too late!"
"Marquis Yongwu, I am not willing to let you take risks...but I have no other choice..."
Empress Liang Zhao sighed sincerely. She had already made up her mind. As soon as Marquis Yongwu returned to the capital, she would begin to gather the strength of the whole country and use the resources of the Great Wilderness to help Marquis Yongwu break through the last half step and become a grand master! !
The Heavenly Wolf Kingdom has a great master, and the Great Wilderness must also have one! !
After Empress Liang Zhao made up her mind, she remembered the Confucianism and Taoism in the conversation between the two.
""Confucianism and Taoism Wenxin" have long lost the Confucianism and Taoism. I didn't expect that the Tianlang Kingdom, as a barbarian, would actually have such lost skills..."
"No, it's not just Confucianism and Taoism. The Sirius Kingdom seems to have mastered some kind of formation. How weird!"
“It’s really weird!!”
Empress Liang Zhao felt that something was not right about this matter. If the Sirius Kingdom had a lost art, she would only sigh that the other party was lucky, but the Heavenly Wolf Refining Technique, "Confucianism and Taoism Wenxin", and special formations appeared one after another. The law made her feel that this matter was strange.
"Did the Sirius Kingdom discover some ancient ruins?"
"Or did you get help from some big force?"
"Could it be that the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom and the Nine Nether Kingdom colluded?"
Empress Liang Zhao had several guesses in her mind.
"This matter needs to be investigated carefully. There is definitely something wrong with it!"
[Zhou Zhenwen secretly entered Tianqing City in Yanzhou and met Wang Jie, the prefect of Tianqing City. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Wang Taishou, tell me, what is the situation in Yanzhou now? 】
[Wang Jie: Mr. Zhou, Yanzhou has almost completely fallen. Only Tianqing City, Jiujiang City, and Tianxi City are still resisting. Today, Xu Lang, the governor of Tianxi City, sent a letter asking me to surrender to the Tianlang Kingdom and protect myself. He I can hardly hold it anymore... Sir, this is a letter from Governor Xu. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and put it down: Prefect Wang, what do you mean? 】
[Wang Jie: Mr. Zhou, don’t worry. As long as I, Wang Jie, am still alive, I will never surrender to the aliens. In Tianqing City, I only have governors who died in battle and no governors who surrendered. If the city is destroyed, I will perish! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen waved his hand: No, there is no point in sacrificing in vain. I do hope that Governor Wang will surrender to the Tianlang Kingdom and preserve the power of Tianqing City. 】
[Wang Jie: What? Mr. Zhou...you don't believe me? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: No, of course I believe in Governor Wang. Because I believe in it, I must surrender... Listen to me... It is important to die for the country, but isn't it more important to regain the lost land? ? 】
[Wang Jie: Mr. Zhou, do you mean... to protect yourself, surrender to be a thief, seek opportunities, and take back Yanzhou? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Yes, I never encourage sacrifice, and I don’t want a loyal person like you to die in vain in Tianqing City. I am not afraid to tell you that if the imperial army can reach Tianqing City within three days, you will fight for it. I will definitely support you and appreciate you if you defend the city, but the current situation is that within seven days, the imperial army will not be able to reach Tianqing City. If you resist desperately, the best result is that Tianqing City will be lost in five days. The Tianlang Kingdom was angry and massacred the city, causing Tianqing City to become a hell on earth and the people lost their lives. 】
[Wang Jie: Mr. Zhou, even if I surrender, those wolf cubs from the Sirius Kingdom may not keep their promise. If they betray their trust and still massacre the city or insult the people, wouldn’t I surrender in vain and become a sinner for the ages? ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: So, you can surrender, but you cannot surrender in vain. You must have conditions, and you must hold the Sirius Kingdom in high esteem and give them hope...]
[Wang Jie's eyes lit up and he asked: Mr. Zhou, what should I do? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: First of all, you send a letter to Xu Lang, the governor of Tianxi City, telling him that you can surrender, but you must negotiate terms with the Tianlang Kingdom, and exchange Tianqing City, Jiujiang City, and Tianxi City for a good future and guarantee the people's livelihood. Safety, the interests of the family, this matter can be discussed by me after I disguise myself. 】
[Wang Jie: Are you coming out in person? No, no, how can you, a weak scholar, risk your life? It's up to me! ! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Okay, let’s discuss this matter later. You continue to listen to me. 】
[Wang Jie: Yes. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Isn’t Tianxi City unable to be defended? In this case, Tianxi City should be given to them first as a sincerity of surrender. Three days later, Tianqing City Kaicheng will surrender. As long as the Tianlang Kingdom abides by its promise, after five days and does not attack the people of the two cities, Jiujiang City will also surrender. The city surrendered. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: In this way, we can delay it for eight days without spending a single soldier. Isn't it better than delaying it for five days in a deadly battle? 】
[Wang Jie: Mr. Zhou, although this plan is brilliant, its intention is too obvious. I’m afraid the Sirius Kingdom won’t fall for it! ! They can definitely see that we are stalling for time, so how can they agree? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: They will. This time, although the Sirius Kingdom claims to have an army of 300,000 people going south to destroy our wilderness, it actually only has more than 200,000 people. They captured two states in one go, burned, killed, and looted, and suffered When the fierce resistance from counties and counties began, they no longer had the overwhelming momentum they had at the beginning. As the ancients said, a surge of strength will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. Now what they hope most is to capture the remaining cities in the two states as soon as possible to defeat the two regions of Yanxu. Stand firm and resist the imperial rescue army. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: In this case, the three cities of Yanzhou surrender directly without spending a single soldier. Even if they know it is a trick, they will agree. While they agree, they will attack Xuzhou with all their strength. If it is within the time limit, you If Kaicheng does not surrender, they can tear up the agreement and massacre, but if you all follow the agreement, they will not dare to do it easily, because what they want is the complete Yan and Xu areas, not the devastation of nine rooms and ten houses. Empty city. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: In the beginning, they burned, killed and looted just to inspire the soldiers and make them fearless of death. But as they gradually occupied Yan and Xu, they now need to create their own image. Mr. Liu is a smart man , he knew that blind slaughter would only make the Dahuang defenders fearless of death and greatly increase the difficulty of conquering the city. Because surrendering is death, and dying in battle is also death, so no one will surrender. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Appropriate hope can actually make the Great Wilderness defenders less desperate. He will even reward you heavily, buying horse bones with thousands of gold, shaping you into a model, and promoting it so that Xuzhou soldiers can see the power of the Sirius Kingdom. Sincerity! ! This is a conspiracy, and it is a conspiracy that they will definitely eat. 】
[Wang Jie: That’s it. Mr. Zhou is worthy of being the chief minister of the cabinet. This plan is really powerful! ! 】
