The news that Hanling veteran He Mingjie died tragically at the hands of Qin Wu soon spread back to Camwion City. The country's leader Xiao Tiehu was so furious that he smashed a conference table made of Hanling ironwood on the spot.
The Marquis of Hanling was in his prime and full of energy. He couldn't bear this breath, so he immediately sent people to notify the other three allies to convene an emergency meeting.
"Qin Wu, this beast, killed my loyal Hanling minister for no reason. He is simply lawless and extremely arrogant!"
"On behalf of the Principality of Hanling, I demand that Qin Wu be immediately revoked from his military post and be escorted to Hanwu City for trial!"
Marquis Hanling gritted his teeth and spoke decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Master Xiao, being angry will hurt your body. You and I are the kings of a country, so we must not hurt our bodies." Wei Haitang advised, and the other two kings also followed suit.
"We can understand the feeling of Lord Xiao losing his beloved general..." "No matter what decision the Hanling Principality makes, we, the Chiyan Principality, will fully support it!"
"Agree!" "Full support!"
The attitudes of the three allies made Xiao Tiehu less angry.
"Thank you to the three kings for your support!" Xiao Tienuo cupped his fists and performed the ancient oriental ritual, and then said, "If there are no other questions, let's sign the order together."
"etc!"
The person who stopped him was the member of the Kingdom's Presbyterian Council, "Point-Eared" Byred.
His voice was soft and gentle, with a sincere tone, "Master Qin Wu is the special envoy appointed by His Majesty. I hope that the four kings will think carefully and not make decisions easily."
When the word "Your Majesty" was mentioned, the four kings fell silent in unison. The atmosphere became somewhat depressing.
"I think..." Wei Haitang hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiao Tiehu, "It is better for the Lord Xiao to ask His Majesty's opinion first, and it will not be too late for us to make a decision."
The Marquis of Red Rock, Bronzehammer Grantham, and the Marquis of Black Spear, Elvis Bartley, both nodded in agreement.
Xiao Tiehu's face was as gloomy as if he had been cut with an axe. He was silent for a long time and then said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is a time of internal and external troubles. As ministers, we should not cause trouble to Your Majesty at this time."
The kingdom elder showed approval and nodded. Little did he know that Xiao Tiehu clenched his fists so hard that he wanted to smash the three-dimensional projector in front of him with one punch.
This was a concession made after weighing the pros and cons, and was not what he wanted in his heart.
The fourth prince, Qiao An, had just inherited the throne, but his foundation was unstable. He also encountered a demon girl who brought trouble to the country, and the royal power fell away, forcing him to go into exile.
In this case, the relationship between monarch and ministers will change
Be vulnerable and sensitive. Attacking the envoys sent by the exiled monarch, no matter how fair and reasonable the reason is, will be regarded as a sign of disloyalty.
Therefore, even if Qin Wu is a beast, he can only endure it, otherwise he will be a traitor who betrays his family's oath.
At least for now, he still needs a "royalist" identity.
Although the Hanling clan is not very loyal to the Malan royal family, if the situation has become clear and the Malan royal family is doomed, he will definitely choose one between Ice Blue City, Northern Alliance and Self-reliance, but that is far from the end yet. When choosing again.
Politics is like this. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. You can only choose the lesser of two evils and choose the result that maximizes interests.
"Tell our coalition marshal that if something like this happens again..." Xiao Tiehu looked at "Point-Eared" Beled and said word by word, "I will personally unscrew his head!"
"As you command, my Lord Marquis!" Point-Eared Bered bowed and saluted, "I will definitely bring your words to you." "
When the Four-Nation Alliance was meeting, Chen Xing was also holding daily military meetings.
"The latest information is that He Jieming, the supreme commander of the first coalition army, died at the hands of coalition marshal Qin Wu." Lin Shiyuanhui reported.
"This is great news!" "The only opponent worthy of respect in the Four Kingdoms Alliance." "Qin Wu is too stupid to cut off his arm before the war begins." "When we encounter such an opponent, we will We will win the battle!" The staff members were talking a lot.
"People like Qin Wu can't achieve great things. Really powerful commanders are kind and gentle. He just plays with himself and is a fool. It's hard to achieve success."
It was a young staff officer named "Xiaohan" who put forward this point of view.
Lin Shiyuan put down the report and looked around, "You all think this Qin Wu is stupid?"
"Isn't it?" the young staff officer named "Xiaohan" asked, with a confident look on his face.
"In my opinion, this is precisely the strength of Qin Wu." Lin Shiyuan looked directly at the young staff officer, "What do you think the Four Nations Alliance Army, composed of third-rate troops, lacks most at present?"
"The commander's ability!" the young staff officer said confidently.
"No! It's discipline, it's execution!" Lin Shiyuan said loudly, "If an army does not have enough execution, no matter how good the tactics are, it is just a blank piece of paper."
"Managing the army can be based on personality charm, habits formed through long-term training, or fear. Qin Wu is trying to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. The four-nation allied forces, which were originally scattered, will be twisted into one because of fear.
. Every order given by Qin Wu will be executed out of fear. "
"Never underestimate our opponent, even if it is a pig, it is still a pig capable of sitting on the position of marshal."
The young staff officer named "Xiaohan" lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry, I took it for granted."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good." Lin Shiyuan gave a thumbs up to the young staff officer, "Young man, I am optimistic about you!"
"In addition, the identity of the supreme commander of the third coalition army has been found out. He is Wei Qinghai, the third prince of the Silver Claw Principality." Lin Yuanzheng said to Chen Xing.
"Is it him?" Chen Xing snorted coldly. It seemed that the other party wanted to take revenge on him.
Back then, he used a spirit-breaking bullet to shatter the opponent's spirit pool, completely destroying the opponent. In this world where the strong are respected, losing spiritual power means losing the qualification to compete.
"I think this should be good news." Lin Yuanzheng said with a smile.
Wei Qinghai is a typical evil son of a wealthy family. He is cruel by nature, lustful and surly, and he does all kinds of evil because of his family status. Unlike Qin Wu, he has no ambitions and only wants to eat, drink, have fun and compete with others. If such a person comes to lead the army, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Although he is a fool, he cannot be taken lightly." Chen Xing said.
"clear!"
Lin Shiyuan nodded in response, then raised his hand, and the three-dimensional strategic map rose up with his hand movements.
Pointing to the moving red arrow, he said, "It is expected that within fifteen hours, the coalition's second and third armies will cross the national border and enter the country's territory."
"Let the troops move and retreat while fighting."
"As you command!"
Chen Xing's tactics were quickly implemented. The left army garrisoned the mountainous area in the southwest of Nolan Snow Mountain, while the center army and the right army garrisoned the weathered rock mountainous area in the northern wilderness. They were both easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places.
The rest of the troops were scattered in the rear, ready for reinforcements at any time.
In addition, mobile troops were dispatched to harass and attack along the way to lure the enemy deeper.
Although Chen Xing's side only made a strategic retreat, when it was reported back to Dragon City, it turned into "fear of the enemy", "cowardice" and "fleeing without a fight". Half of this is the result of distortion and processing by political opponents, and half is the result of the red country's martial tradition.
For a time, there was a wave of impeachment against Chen Xing. Some people ran onto the streets, holding banners such as "Coward Chen Xing" and "General of the Defeated Army", demanding that Chen Xing step down.
In the face of domestic voices, Chen Xing turned a blind eye and continued to carry out his "guerrilla tactics of breaking up the whole into parts."
