"How's the battle going...?"
A long and majestic sound came from the front of the palace. Every time they heard such a sound, all the officials panicked.
"Reply... Your Majesty, you have already swallowed up more than a dozen cities in the Mo Kingdom." the Minister of War replied.
Listening to this, it seemed that the monarch of Qi State was not happy, or maybe he couldn't tell because he had been wearing a skull mask for a year.
"Very good. Keep attacking and take down this Mo country!"
The emperor's words made the Minister of War even more panicked.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, our army now only has... 400,000 people. Do you really want to... continue to fight?" The Minister of War said, his body clearly visible. Jitter.
"Four hundred thousand? Why...the army only has four hundred thousand?"
"Back...back to your majesty, when our army was fighting the Mo Kingdom, we encountered the main forces of the three provinces. Only then...most of the people were killed or injured. Fortunately...the main forces of the three provinces were destroyed. military."
"Very good. Since...there are not enough people, let's mobilize all the men to fight."
Hearing the emperor's cruel words, the civil and military officials dared to complain in their hearts but not in words.
"Your Majesty! No, if the Mo Kingdom has the help of the Wan Kingdom, our dynasty will definitely be defeated!" A minister couldn't control himself and already said it.
However, this monarch, whom everyone said was a tyrant, didn't care about this. He turned to look at the official, moved his head in a hint, and was then pulled out for execution.
Of course, this minister knew that he was a little impulsive, but his words were not wrong. Even if he wanted to cry out for injustice, he did not dare to cry out. If he ends up killing the Nine Clan again, it would be all over.
Hearing the sound of the official being taken out for execution, the standing ministers felt sweat in their hearts and wanted to resign from the official position and stay away from the monarch.
But whoever dares to resign may be killed the next second before he can say anything.
It was precisely because of the behavior of the tyrant of Qi State that these officials did not dare to be negligent in doing things, and they did not dare to commit corruption.
Back at the Ministry of War, several ministers discussed the matter. The sound of their discussion was very small, so small that one could hear the sound just like a breeze blowing by.
Today's Minister of War still knows clearly how Taowen, the former Minister of War, died.
"What can you do? If the Mo Dynasty is not destroyed, I am afraid that the heads of our ministers will be on this execution platform." said the Minister of War.
"Zeng Shangshu, what should we do? Xiaguan has a wife and children at home. Except for Xiaguan, there is no man in the family. They have all gone to serve in the army. Xiaguan didn't want to just leave like this." The left minister of the Ministry of War was a little panicked.
"Secretary Qin, don't be afraid. Now you should think about how to destroy this Mo country."
"Zeng Shangshu, although the main forces of the three provinces have been destroyed, they have many people and there are troops stationed in other provinces. Although they are not as powerful as the main forces of the three provinces, I am afraid they will be difficult to deal with."
"The emperor just said that all the men will be sent into the army. This number should be balanced with the Mo Dynasty, but the Mo Dynasty has been trained, so I'm afraid they won't be able to fight." The right minister of the Ministry of War said.
Looking at the map on the table, the Minister of War was a little at a loss.
But how dare you not obey the emperor's order? Now, the Minister of War summoned him:
"It seems that this new soldier needs to be trained more. Time is tight. Just be able to kill people."
"Shang Shu, can this be done?" Zuo Shilang asked.
The Minister of War sighed and said: "Whether they can succeed or not depends entirely on them. I remember in the last battle, your Majesty said that even if the Mo Kingdom could not be destroyed, he would attack a few of its cities. Now that we have achieved it, your Majesty is so ambitious. So am I. There is nothing we can do.”
After listening to the words of the Minister of War, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War sighed. After a while, he asked the Minister of War: "Master Zeng, if we add these new soldiers, how many thousands of troops will there be?"
The Minister of War sighed and guessed: "Eight or nine hundred thousand. If they are all defeated and the Mo Kingdom joins forces, the Qi Kingdom may be defeated at any time."
After hearing what the minister said, the right servant hurriedly stepped forward and covered the minister's mouth and nose with his hands, and whispered in his ear.
What exactly did he say? Probably don't say "Qi Guo was defeated".
…
"In-laws! In-laws!"
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Revenue, hurriedly walked towards Su Mansion, smiling all the way towards Su Yunqi's study.
Just as he was walking to the study, Prime Minister Zuo Su Yunqi hurriedly opened the door and happened to see his in-law Cen Wenxing.
"The in-laws are here, do you have something important to do?" Su Yunqi, the prime minister of Zuo, asked with a smile.
Cen Wenxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, nodded happily and was about to express his thoughts, but before he could say anything, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, snatched the words.
"If you have anything to do with your in-laws, please come in and tell me."
Prime Minister Zuo Su Yunqi greeted him with a smile.
"good."
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, walked in happily.
"In-laws, sit down."
"good."
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurriedly sat down on his chair and started talking hastily.
"Tell the in-laws the good news."
"What good news?" Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, looked at Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, with a smile on his face.
"Wan Guo promised to lend us 90,000 taels of silver. Now the money has arrived successfully."
Listening to the words of Cen Wenxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, smiled slightly: "That's good. We have the money, but the main forces of the three provinces have not yet been revived. Qi State may continue to attack the city in a few days, I'm afraid. At that time, this country was destroyed in my hands."
Hearing what his in-law Su Yunqi said, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, could understand in his heart.
"In-laws, don't overthink it. The population of Qi State is not as good as that of Mo Dynasty. Just based on the number of people, we are ahead."
"I don't know, the Qi country has a small population, but its attack power has become much more powerful recently."
At this time, Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, didn't know what to say, so he had to talk sense.
"Things are not done just because you want to do them, but you have to do them in thousands of ways before you can do them. Don't put big things on one person."
In this way, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, gave many words of advice before Su Yun, the Prime Minister of the Left, came up.
In order to revitalize the main forces of the three provinces, the imperial court immediately issued a decree. This decree was also about recruiting troops, but it was not as strict as Qi State.
This decree was posted all over the streets and alleys of Yanyang City very quickly, and gradually spread.
It is written in the decree:
Today, the main forces in the three provinces have been completely wiped out. For the prosperity and stability of Damo and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the imperial court intends to revive the main force of the three provinces. Those who are able-bodied and willing to be men can sign up. The family of those who sign up will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the number will continue to increase. After the main forces of the three provinces were revitalized, the imperial court had many rewards! "
Such a court decree, many people were soon seduced by the content written on it.
There are also many men who actively join the army, most of whom go for family and money.
However, while the Mo Dynasty was still working hard to revive the main force of the three provinces, the enemy seemed to be ready to take action.
"Damn it!"
After receiving the imperial decree, coach Guo Zhentian was so excited that he clapped his hands on the table.
"Coach, what does the letter say?" General Zhang Biao asked.
"The letter says, let us continue the attack and destroy Mexico as soon as possible. How can we fight them with this little force! If we get beaten, they will beat us!" Coach Guo Zhentian said angrily.
After hearing this, Yan Zihao, the general of Huanghuying of Qi State, complained in his heart and said: "If we continue to fight like this, Qi State will definitely be doomed!"
After hearing this, General Shen Ang of Xuanhu Camp sighed and said, "I really don't want to fight this battle, but the will is there and I have to fight it."
"Coach, if that's the case, when do you plan to take action?" Zhang Biao of Dihu Camp asked.
Coach Guo Zhentian grabbed the letter tightly with one hand and said through gritted teeth: "The imperial court has recruited another group of people, and we will attack when that group of people arrives."
"Trapped people again?"
After hearing the news, Yan Zihao, the general of Huanghu Camp, became even more worried and said: "When I came out, my family had been crying until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Now a group of people have been recruited. Maybe even the able-bodied people will join this army." .”
After hearing this, Zhang Biao from the Dihu Camp on the side slammed his hand on the table and said: "You should do this! Isn't this justified! Isn't this a joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!"
The eyes of General Yan Zihao of Huanghu Camp on the side were already wet.
"If I had known that we would defect to the Mo Kingdom, we would have saved our lives." Zhang Biao, the general of Dihu Camp, was very unconvinced.
Enduring the pain, the coach Guo Zhentian shouted: "Pass the order, all soldiers will train more from now on and wait for these new recruits to arrive."
"yes."
The decree was that these people did not dare to disobey, and they all trained their soldiers seriously, waiting for the arrival of this group of troops who had just joined the army.
Finally, within a few days, a team of hundreds of thousands of people crossed the Yangtze River and headed towards Jiang Jingfu.
When I arrived, I saw that these soldiers were mixed with some old and infirm people, including young people in their teens.
…
At this moment, coach Guo Zhentian stood on the "podium" that had just been built in Jiang Jing's house and spoke.
"Brothers! Now, our army has conquered several cities in the Mo Kingdom! However, the imperial court thinks it is not enough and should take more cities! Even destroy the Mo Dynasty! After today, our life and death are unpredictable, but we are a team In a strictly disciplined team, no deserters are allowed! If you are discovered, the only outcome is death! Instead of dying so meaninglessly, it is better to go to the battlefield and kill more enemies!"
Listening to the coach's words, these orderly teams did not dare to say anything.
"Qi Jun is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
"Qi Jun is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
After several vigorous shouts, the team walked out of Jiang Jing's mansion, leaving only a garrison of 10,000 people in the city.
