Liu Xuan frowned, with a sad look on her face: "I think it's Wei Liang who pushed them too hard. It's only been so long since Yong Lian succeeded the Holy Lord of Da Qi, and you, the newly appointed queen, are already commanding the army. Commanding troops to the north, I think this battle is against morality."
Shengshengmei gave Liu Xuan a strange look and said, "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly talking about morality? I remember you weren't so soft-hearted."
Liu Xuan sighed and said: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted. If there is a huge difference in strength, I certainly won't worry about it. However, the coalition forces organized by the Eighteen Nations are too powerful. There are no half-immortals in the Daqi Dynasty. The Pavilion Master has gone again at this time. I don’t know when I will be able to return to the Western Continent. If a frontal war really breaks out, the monk army we are leading may not be able to defeat the enemy coalition forces. In addition, our troops are unknown and violate morality. We will lose the support of the people and we may not be able to win."
Cang Tianqing said: "I think Miss Liu is right. The people's heart is indeed a mysterious thing. You said it is invisible and intangible. To be honest, it is worse than hacking an enemy to death. But sometimes it is It can determine the situation of a war, so you have to pay attention.”
Garuda said: "The war has begun. It is impossible for us to retreat at this time. Since it has violated morality, we can only make a quick decision and defeat the Eighteen-Nation Alliance Army quickly."
"But......."
"Okay, Xuan'er."
Liu Xuan wanted to say something more, but unfortunately she was interrupted by Lu Weiliang.
Lu Weiliang glanced at everyone and said to them: "We will discuss the issue of whether it is moral and moral later. The most critical issue at the moment is the specific strength of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance. We need to carefully understand each other's situation. Wuliang , come and talk to everyone."
After hearing this, Wuliang Nu, who had been silent until now, took out a bamboo slip and said, "I already know the specific strength of the enemy. The Eighteen-Nation Alliance includes five upper-level countries, three middle-level countries, and ten lower-level countries. , among which the least number of troops was 200,000 monks, several high-level countries even sent out their troops, and the largest number was more than one million monks, with a total strength of more than 8 million."
An army of eight million monks!
Lu Weiliang said: "The total strength of the Daqi Dynasty is about three million. Excluding the troops guarding various places and the imperial guards at the top of the capital, the number of troops that can be mobilized does not exceed two million. This time, I have mobilized 1.2 million. If the army is defeated, it will not recover for fifty years."
1.2 million versus 8 million, which sounds like it's impossible to beat.
Ji Yin said coldly: "Soldiers are not more numerous but more refined. The quality of the monk army is far more important than quantity. Ten thousand spirit-gathering monk army cannot defeat ten Nascent Souls. If they are defeated by these eight million names, If you are frightened, then there is no need to fight this battle."
Wuliangnu continued: "The eight million monk army is nothing. After all, the monk army has always had varying levels of cultivation, ranging from the Soul Gathering Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, and often low-level monks account for the majority. It is worth it One thing to mention is that this time, the top leaders of the Eighteen Kingdoms selected a group of the best among the eight million monks. There are about 500,000 of them. Their cultivation levels are all above the Spiritual Silence Realm. They are known as the 'elite'. The battle group is the main force of the coalition forces. If they can be annihilated, there may be a turning point."
What the monk army fights for is not quantity, but strength.
As Ji Yin said, no matter how many people you have, what's the use? Can 10,000 spirit-gathering realms defeat ten Nascent Souls or one Supreme Being?
In history, there are many examples of monk armies defeating large numbers with a small number. They mainly rely on their elites, and what they fight for is the strength of their elites.
Five hundred thousand monks above the Spiritual Silence Realm, this number is already a bit scary.
Cang Tianqing said: "I specially transferred a war imperial army from the Southern Barbarians. Although the number is only a few thousand, this force is also the elite of our Southern Barbarians and can compete with their elite battle groups."
The Imperial War Army is known as the number one army among the five parties in the world. In terms of quality, it may be able to compete with the elite battle groups of the coalition forces, but unfortunately the number is too small.
Wuliangnu said: "I don't have the ability to form an elite battle group in Shangting Palace yet, but Su Bujin has handed over to me the 30,000 Yulin Army of the Shuiyue Kingdom. This elite of the Shuiyue Kingdom can also help you."
Among a country's military, the strongest one is undoubtedly the Imperial Guards that sit in the imperial city. The Imperial Guards' mission is to guard the Imperial City, and the Imperial Guards have never been sent out on an expedition.
Jialulu said: "Donghai has sent reinforcements a few days ago. Lie Wang Juexiu personally led the army. Counting the days, it should be here soon."
Before Su Bujin left, he knew that Lu Weiliang would definitely not be idle and would probably start her plan to unify the northern territory, so Su Bujin left an imperial edict to Garoulu in advance, asking her to put Lu Weiliang on the eve of the war. The imperial edict was given to Lie Wang Juexiu, ordering him to send troops for reinforcements.
Liu Xuan and Sheng Ermei, the two senior officials of Linglong Pavilion, did not speak. In fact, it didn't matter whether they spoke or not. The power of Linglong Pavilion was also in Lu Weiliang's hands. It was Lu Weiliang who had the final say whether Linglong Pavilion would send troops or not. There is no need for the two of them to express their stance.
However, this time Lu Weiliang did not use the power of Linglong Pavilion. Because Linglong Pavilion had just moved to the Daqi Dynasty, its footing was not stable, and many relationships were not smoothed out and perfected. Although there was the secret support of Lu Weiliang, the Queen of Daqi. , but it cannot be solved so quickly. It will always take some time, so Lu Weiliang did not mobilize the power of Linglong Pavilion.
Lu Weiliang stood up slowly and said to everyone: "War depends on two things, fists and brains, both are indispensable. Although the enemy army is huge, it is still a chaotic army patched together from here and there. It is a mess and has no cohesion. , To put it bluntly, their fists are hard enough, but it’s a pity that there are too many brains directing the fists. One wants to hit this way, the other wants to hit that way, and the fists cannot produce power at all.”
"I know, no matter what I say, it is an indisputable fact that the enemy's army is several times stronger than our army. It is extremely difficult for our army to win. But here I want to tell you, since I dare to fight them, There is also a certain degree of certainty. I can tell everyone that I have a way to deal with the Eighteen-Nation Alliance. If this method is successful, the enemy will be defeated and our army will win."
Lu Weiliang's last words made everyone look at each other. Her confident look didn't seem like she was being careless, but what kind of method could defeat a powerful enemy?
Everyone was curious, but Lu Weiliang didn't mean to say anything, and kept telling the truth. However, when everyone didn't notice, Lu Weiliang and Ji Yin exchanged looks.
