"Your Majesty, I also invite you to fight~! The Seventh Cultivator Sect is in the territory of our country, but it does not obey the laws of our country. It assassinates courtiers and ambushes the army. Such arrogant people will definitely bring disgrace to the court if they are not severely punished. Your Majesty agrees. With an army of five thousand, I will definitely be able to take down the Seventh Cultivation Sect in one fell swoop~!"
The Tang Dynasty in the first year of Zhenguan was peaceful, and there were basically no large-scale wars. Therefore, these veteran generals had long been bored. Now they heard that there were forces in the Tang Dynasty who dared to jump out to fight against the imperial court. Since they Angry, yet excited.
As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were very proud at heart. Now that the elite Beiya Forbidden Army had suffered heavy losses because of a small sect, they certainly had reason to be angry. But they were angry, and when they thought of a war, they were excited from the bottom of their hearts. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were never afraid of war, they were only afraid of not having a war!
So when Yuchi Jingde, who was still sitting still, heard that Cheng Yaojin preemptively called for a fight, he jumped out and said loudly.
"Ha~! Old Hei, you still need five thousand troops~?"
Cheng Yaojin was not willing to let Yuchi Jingde steal the limelight. He quickly jumped out and said: "As long as the Holy Father is willing to give me, old Cheng, three thousand elites, within three days, I will be able to destroy the Seventh Cultivating Sect in one fell swoop~! If not, I, Old Cheng, am willing to come and see you~!"
In Cheng Yaojin's view, the other party was just a group of Jianghu people. He encountered many of them during his early campaigns in the South and North, so he felt that those free and undisciplined Jianghu people would definitely not be able to compete with those who were highly disciplined and well-trained. Compared with the army of the imperial court, he just said that the army of three thousand was too much for the sake of the Seventh Cultivation Orochi~! Otherwise, two thousand is enough~!
But this old guy obviously has no idea. If the Seventh Repair Sect is really that easy to defeat, the 4,000 Beiya Imperial Guards led by Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin will not be defeated~!
"You~! Crazy Cheng, you sincerely want to go against me, right~?"
Yuchi Jingde glared and cursed angrily.
Seeing that these two old guys were about to fight again, Qin Qiong quickly grabbed Cheng Yaojin and said: "Know your integrity! Don't mess around in front of His Majesty~! This Sheling Mountain is not as simple as you think~!"
Li Jing also stepped forward to persuade: "What Shu Bao said makes sense. If the Seventh Xiu Sect is really easy to deal with, with the abilities of Xiaoxuan and Duguxin, they will definitely not cause heavy losses to the Beiya Imperial Army. Therefore, the focus now is to first Find out how powerful the Seventh Cultivation Serpent Xiaoxuan and the others encountered, and then we can make corresponding arrangements in a targeted manner~!"
This is one of the reasons why Li Jing is the military god of the Tang Dynasty, while Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde are not. Whenever he encounters a war, Li Jing is the calmest, and he can often see the most critical problems~!
Li Er nodded in approval and said: "The pharmacist is worthy of being a pharmacist. I am calling all your beloved ministers here today just to ask them to think of a way to completely kill the Seventh Cultivation Serpent on Sheling Mountain~! Otherwise, if such a ferocious beast wanders among the people, it will surely It will destroy all living things~! Dugu Xin, come and tell me, my dear friends, what is the size, speed, and lethality of the Seventh Cultivation Serpent?"
"I obey your decree~!"
Dugu Xin clasped his fists and responded loudly, then turned to everyone and continued: "Prime Minister, generals, the overall strength of the Seventh Cultivation Serpent is above the Grand Master. In terms of strength alone, it is even better than the Grand Master by a lot. , it is difficult to defeat it with brute force~!
And its snake body has a layer of hard scales, making it difficult for ordinary swords to break its defense~! The Seven-Cultivation Serpent has seven heads, and each snake head can be used to attack. Its fangs are highly poisonous, and it can spray poisonous mist from its mouth, which will kill you if it touches it~! However, the speed of the Seventh Cultivation Orochi is not as good as that of the great master. At most, it can only be comparable to the martial arts masters at the peak of the master!
In addition, the tail of the Seventh Cultivation Serpent is also very powerful. If an ordinary person is killed by the snake's tail, he or she will be seriously injured~! "
Quiet~!
After Dugu Xin said that, the Ganlu Hall fell into silence for a moment. Everyone was shocked by the combat power displayed by the Seventh Cultivation Serpent. Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin, who had previously boasted that they could be destroyed with only five or three thousand elites, At this moment, they no longer dared to say similar words. The two veterans were so shocked that they choked on the spot.
Fang Xuanling came back to his senses, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task now is to send a large army to blockade Sheling Mountain, otherwise the people around Qinling will suffer! By then, the people in Chang'an will also be People are in panic and are not busy with production, so no matter what, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible~!"
Changsun Wuji also stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Old minister, I second the proposal~! Such a big matter should be done sooner rather than later. We must not let a mere Jianghu sect affect the stability of the people~!"
Li Er nodded and said: "What Auxiliary Machine and Xuan Ling said makes sense~! Medicine Master, in your opinion, how should these Seven Cultivation Sects be pacified~?"
Li Jing frowned. He took a step forward and thought for a long time before answering:
"Your Majesty, I heard that the terrain of Sheling Mountain is steep and the mountain roads are narrow. Many places can only allow one person to pass through. Even if we send an army of 10,000 people, we estimate that only a thousand people can be used on Sheling Mountain. Such terrain is not suitable for a large army to fight. Extremely unfavorable~! Presumably the reason why the Beiya Imperial Army returned in vain this time is probably related to this unfavorable terrain~!
Therefore, the old minister believes that in order to kill the Seventh Cultivator Serpent with the minimum casualty cost, we must send a large army with heavy crossbows to surround Snake Spirit Mountain, lead it to the bottom of the mountain, and then attack it with heavy crossbows and destroy it in one fell swoop~! "
Li Er nodded and said with a smile: "Well, the pharmacist's method is quite safe. What do you think~?"
The rest of the people in the hall could not help but nod their heads in praise. Only Qin Qiong was frowning in thought. After a moment, he asked Li Jing: "Although the medicine master's method is safe, how should we use various methods to lure the Seventh Cultivation Serpent down the mountain? "
When Fang Xuanling and others heard this, they couldn't help but cast doubtful glances at Li Jing.
Li Jing shook his head and said: "We can discuss this issue of Uncle Bao later. The Prime Minister also said just now that the top priority right now is to send a large army to surround Sheling Mountain to prevent the Seventh Cultivator Serpent from descending from the mountain and harming the people~! Let's surround Sheling Mountain first. If we don’t attack, if the Seventh Cultivation Serpent comes down the mountain, we will just use the heavy crossbow to kill it. If it doesn’t come down, we will think of another way~! Anyway, this Snake Spirit Mountain must send an army there~!"
"What a siege but no attack~!"
After Li Jing finished speaking, Qin Qiong stepped forward to Li Er and cupped his hands and said: "The pharmacist has thought carefully and I have no objections~! I beg your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible~!"
The rest of the people also raised their hands and said: "I second the proposal~! I sincerely request your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible~!"
