Zhenyang Mansion.
The defeated report was crumpled into a ball and thrown to the ground.
The ghost king's face was full of anger and he was losing his temper.
"The entire army of 300,000 was completely wiped out!"
"Urcha betrayed our soldiers and civilians!"
On both sides below, there were many generals standing, all with their heads slightly lowered and afraid to express their anger.
During this invasion, the Ghost King had an obvious intention. He initially decided on a strategy to defend the Wuxia Pass and allow the Ghost Army to fully occupy Huandi. Then the Ghost tribe began to move here and became the masters of Huandi. They established a firm foothold and then made further plans to the Central Plains. big.
But now, with the defeat of Wuxia Pass, all these plans can no longer be implemented. More importantly, now the Ghost King has to change his strategy.
After venting, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger. Then he looked around and said as calmly as possible: "As for the current situation, tell me what you think."
Hearing this, people first looked at each other, and then someone bravely said: "Your Majesty, our military strength now is only about 200,000, while the coalition forces have almost 500,000, plus the remaining troops of Huan Guo. With hundreds of thousands of troops, if they launch a siege against us, I’m afraid the situation will be a bit dangerous.”
"You mean, we're just going to retreat to the country!?" The Ghost King said in a bad tone.
The general swallowed and lowered his head: "The general thinks that even if we don't retreat, we shouldn't attack the city anymore. We should switch from offense to defense before making other plans."
The Ghost King glanced at him. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not get angry because he understood that what the general said was right, but he just found it difficult to accept the situation.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "Do we still have control over the four counties of Huandi?"
"Yes." The general returned.
"Well..." The Ghost King pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's send an envoy to Yu Anmin's place."
"Your Majesty means..."
The Ghost King said directly: "Didn't Yu Anmin always want land? Then let's fulfill his wish and give him Guangyuan and Lianzhou."
As he spoke, he added: "The coalition forces will definitely attack these two places next. Since we may not be able to defend it, we might as well give it to others and let others defend it. With the An Army's restraint, our situation will be Maybe there’s room for maneuver.”
After hearing what he said, everyone understood and couldn't help but salute in unison: "His Majesty the King is wise -"
At the same time, Huan Guo court.
"Okay! Okay!"
Looking at the silk book in his hand, King Huan's face was full of excitement, and he kept saying: "The Allied forces have broken through Wuxia Pass and have wiped out all of Urcha. This is really great!"
When the ministers heard the news, they also looked happy. Guo Kai immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! After the Allied forces enter Wuxia Pass, they will definitely march towards the main force of the Ghost King." , the disaster of the ghost clan is about to end."
"Yes, the Allied forces are now strong, and the Ghost King will definitely be no match for them. When they are defeated, our country will be able to recover all the lost cities."
"Looking at it now, the king's original decision to negotiate peace was actually the best policy."
"That's right. After the peace negotiation, our country not only retained its current military strength, but also just waited for the Allied Forces to drive away the ghosts. From this point of view, our king has planned well and has almost everything under control."
Listening to the compliments of several ministers, King Huan felt greatly benefited. He suddenly felt elated and couldn't help but said: "Well, doesn't he, the Ghost King, want Zhenyang? But is he going to get it? Afterwards, he has to return it obediently. , this is about retreating into progress.”
He said one thing after another, and Guo Kai quickly flattered him: "I am Wang Yingming."
"Your Majesty is wise——" Everyone in his faction followed suit and saluted him one after another.
King Huan was delighted, but before he could be happy, Qiu Rong stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, although the ghost army is now weak, it is still entrenched in the Zhenyang area. I believe that the most important thing now is to cooperate with the alliance. As for the military, we must exterminate the Ghost King as soon as possible to avoid accidents."
"What?" When he interrupted like this, King Huan immediately frowned: "Prime Minister, do you want me, Huan Army, to continue to participate in the war?"
Qiu Rong said: "The allies have 500,000 troops, and we also have hundreds of thousands of troops. If we respond to each other from afar and cooperate from all sides, the Ghost King will be unable to escape!"
What he said made perfect sense, but King Huan's frown deepened.
Guo Kai observed what was happening, and in order to cater to the king's wishes, he quickly said: "Master Xiangguo, under my king's plan, our country has managed to retain this army, and now that the allies have entered the border, we only need to wait, so there is no need to join the war. Woolen cloth?"
"What are you talking about?" Qiu Rong said displeased: "Our country has the unshirkable responsibility to expel foreign enemies. More importantly, judging from the entire war situation, our army now plays a very important role. If we can cooperate a little, we can Destroy the Ghost King in one battle."
"But in the hands of the Ghost King, there are still 200,000 troops, and even heavy armored cavalry. If our army fights, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg!" Guo Kai retorted.
"Their armored heavy cavalry has been defeated by the Allies. We can use this tactic." Qiu Rong still insisted, saying: "What is there to be afraid of the ghost army! Why do you and others keep doing this!"
But Guo Kai said: "The Allies' ability to break through armor and heavy cavalry was all due to the cooperation between four-horse chariots and light cavalry. And we not only don't have those chariots, but we don't have so many halberd infantry. If we compete with the ghost army A head-on confrontation is not a wise move."
"The truth did not say that we would have a head-on confrontation with the Ghost Army, but rather suggested that our country should do something at this time, whether it be to contain some of the Ghost King's forces or to cooperate with the encirclement, in short, to create a better annihilation force for the Allied forces. The enemy has an opportunity." Qiu Rong said.
"But I think that these are not the best policies, they are actually unnecessary." Guo Kai said directly.
Qiu Rong frowned: "The invasion of the ghost tribe is the raging Huandi! The Allied forces are here to expel foreign enemies, but in our country, our army lives in peace with the foreign enemies and does not participate in the war. How does this make the world look at it! What do the people think of it!"
"The common people in Guizhou are short-sighted, how can they understand the overall situation!" Guo Kai sneered.
"You!" Qiu Rong was furious and was about to say something else, but King Huan already frowned and shouted: "Okay! There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Wouldn't it be better to let the allies go to fight the ghost tribe and our country sit back and watch the success or failure? ! What is Xiangguo thinking!"
"This, Your Majesty..." Qiu Rong was a little anxious.
But King Huan raised his hand to stop him and changed the topic: "Now, there is no need to do anything else. Just pay close attention to the movements of the allies and retreat from the court!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty——" All the ministers saluted in unison.
Qiu Rong secretly shook his head and walked out of the hall silently, feeling somewhat lost.
There are still hundreds of thousands of Huan troops, and they are close to Zhenyang. If nothing else, just giving the Ghost King some restraint can play a key role.
But King Huan just refused to do it.
