The sound that sounded outside the door was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and all the generals in the room were stunned.
The door opened and a handsome young man came in with a smile.
It was Xu Mochen who "had already escaped" in the mouth of the people in the capital.
The soldiers in the room were all generals stationed in the capital, and they had met Xu Mochen.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"You are not..."
"this……"
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Mochen was very casual. After Tang Derun opened the door, he followed him. He glanced at the room and said, "You are all generals from the capital. If you gather here, you are not afraid that the censor will give you a memorial that the crowd has evil intentions."
This was a joke. Although the generals understood it, they did not accept it and all of them blushed.
"Your Majesty, the generals and others are gathered here to prepare for an attack on the enemy from a foreign country."
"Your Majesty, when I followed you, I had the honor to show off my talents. Now that I have difficulty in doing so, it is naturally the time to serve."
"Your Majesty! The last general..."
"Okay, okay," Xu Mochen found a chair and sat down with a smile, "Don't be so excited. What are you standing for? Sit down."
Everyone was not used to the emperor's calm demeanor.
"Sit down," Xu Mochen pointed to the chair, "The fleets of foreign countries in the west are still thousands of miles away and won't be here for a while.
You all know that fighting is all about working hard. Now that you are so restless, what should you do in the face of the enemy? "
Having said that, the atmosphere finally calmed down.
These generals have no concept of etiquette and etiquette, and Xu Mochen has never been aloof.
When the unification war was difficult, we drank horse urine and snow water together.
When everyone sat down, someone asked tremblingly: "May I ask Your Majesty, if it's not rumored... why you are here."
"Of course it's what you think," Xu Mochen didn't hide it, "What I just said is not false.
Why, I can’t be your general? "
"Your Majesty," everyone became excited, "you have decided to..."
"Well," Xu Mochen signaled to be quiet, "I have thousands of miles of beautiful land, how can I allow a mere foreign country to interfere with it?
If they dare to come, I will definitely let them go without return. "
"Your Majesty!" The group of people could not restrain their emotions. Someone stood up and drew his sword, "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately, and the general will lead the troops to execute it immediately."
"Yes, yes! The last general invites you to fight!"
"Please fight," Xu Mochen sneered. These people are passionate and loyal, but their brains are not very good after all. "The foreign country is a ship, how are you going to fight?"
This question made everyone stunned.
After a while, someone licked his lips and plucked up the courage to speak: "The general is waiting to contact the brothers in the coastal states and counties. They have some warships in their hands and gather together to meet the enemy."
"Nonsense!" Xu Mochen disagreed, "Those warships we are working on are no problem if they are used in inland rivers, lakes, or offshore waters. But if they go out far away, there will be no need for enemy attacks, and the waves will break up.
You are preparing your soldiers to die. "
"Your Majesty," someone was not discouraged, "If the naval battle fails, then there will be a land battle.
The foreign country must be thinking that the target is the capital city, and there are only two ways to attack it. "
These people are military generals who are not good at writing or writing, but they are still very capable in fighting.
They clearly see the ultimate goal of the foreign country.
Therefore, they also chose the capital as their last defense point.
"If you want to invade the capital, there are only two routes from the southeast." Several people got busy, hanging up maps and pointing, "Here and here are the key points to enter the capital.
The generals have heard that foreign countries have musketeers whose numbers are greater than ours, so we plan to snipe here with all our strength. "
Listening to their plan, Xu Mochen smiled.
Faced with a disadvantage, the tactics they gave were good.
Of course, this is only in relative terms, and the losses will be huge in a real fight.
There is no chance of winning when a cold weapon encounters a hot weapon.
"Okay," Xu Mochen waved, "To tell you the truth, my goal is not to fight on land.
What I want is to lead their fleet into the waters here, and then our fleet will block their retreat and annihilate them all in one fell swoop. "
"Fleet?" Surprised voices came out one after another.
"We Daqian also have a fleet?"
"Really? We don't even know."
…
"It was just established recently," Xu Mochen didn't look proud, "You don't know it's normal.
Therefore, the naval battle is the key to this time. The purpose of my coming here is to prepare a few people who are not afraid of death to board the flagship with me and command the naval battle. "
Hearing this, all the generals laughed.
They were afraid of dying as soldiers, not to mention that they all crawled out of the dead.
When they heard that they wanted to fight with the emperor, it was a great honor, and a group of people clamored to choose them.
Seeing the noisy generals, Xu Mochen was not angry: "Those who were not chosen still have important tasks, even more important than participating in naval battles.
The fleets of foreign countries, coming from afar, will definitely stop for supplies when passing through the coastal counties of Daqian.
I am worried that the local people and garrison will die in vain if they think of attacking the foreign fleet in a moment of enthusiasm. "
After contacting the cause and effect, someone slapped his head: "Your Majesty, did you deliberately spread the word that you wanted to escape and lure the fleet of the foreign country deep into the waters near the capital?"
After saying this, everyone calmed down.
"Your Majesty, we are worried about damage to coastal states and counties."
"This is really possible. I will receive urgent messages from some brothers in the end. They are all preparing to take advantage of the foreign country's fleet to dock and launch a night attack or something like that."
"So you have to contact them immediately," Xu Mochen ordered, "and tell them not to act rashly.
After the foreign country's fleet docks, I will also secretly order the relevant port states and counties to cooperate with them in supplies.
What allowed them to go straight to the capital with confidence and boldness.
I will eat them all in one go! "
The generals did not care about the level of the Daqian fleet. They had followed Xu Mochen for many years and had been invincible (all thanks to the immortal cultivators back then), so they naturally felt that the emperor was omnipotent.
"Then I will revise the book immediately, but if I don't explain His Majesty's intention, I'm afraid my brothers everywhere will not listen."
"Yes, with everyone's bad temper, they must have torn up letters and went their own way."
Xu Mochen smiled: "Of course I have to give you some information, but I can't give orders one by one, as that would easily expose our plan.
So, you have forgotten that when you participated in the unification war with me, the top secret code in our army was..."
Speaking of this, everyone puffed up their chests.
Xu Mochen's army and the core generals all knew a secret code, which was a unique tacit understanding between the emperor and them.
"Remember me, general!" A group of people said in unison, "What's even inside is like what's inside, and what's strange inside is like what's outside!"
