Such words shocked many Xuanguo ministers. Yao Tingyu quickly stepped out of the queue, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the Ling Kingdom is indeed hateful, but I believe that this matter should be resolved through diplomatic means. The current situation in the world is so turbulent that steady development is the only way to become stronger."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Another minister stood up and said, "The Ling Kingdom has a strong national power and a strong military. It is not a weak country. If you use troops rashly, the consequences may be disastrous."
After listening to these words, King Xuan said coldly: "I also want to have diplomatic relations, but didn't you hear what Master Yan said? That Lingguo did evil things, but denied it, it is clearly insulting our country! If If this king doesn’t listen to you, he is in vain as the king of a country! How can he face the people in the country!”
"This." Yao Tingyu showed a tangled look.
When Wang Su saw this, he was about to get out of the queue, but suddenly found that King Xuan was looking at him, raised his hand slightly, and then pressed it down slightly.
This obscure movement startled him. His thoughts were changing, but he calmly stood back on the train without moving his head.
Then, another minister came out, but before he could say anything, King Xuan said: "No need to say it, Lingguo must give our country an explanation for this matter! If our country does not have the proper attitude towards this matter, then in the future Can’t anyone be bullied at will?”
"The king does not want to start this war, but the garrison in Qingtian is a must-do military action! This shows that our country's attitude cannot be trampled upon! Otherwise, how can the people in the country criticize the royal court! They will not dare to be bullied. Say a word?"
What she said was very reasonable and somewhat irrefutable. Seeing that she was not planning to start a war immediately, but only taking military action, many ministers were secretly relieved.
Yao Tingyu said: "If this is the case, I agree with the king's decision. While deploying troops to the border, I will also use diplomatic means to force Lingguo to admit its mistakes and apologize to our country."
While using force to intimidate and sending envoys to question, the officials of Xuan Kingdom no longer had any objections. King Xuan also stood up and said, "Okay, let's end today's discussion at court."
As she spoke, she also walked out of the hall.
The ministers greeted her respectfully, and after she left, there was naturally a discussion as she left the hall. Wang Su rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the palace study.
After a while.
King Xuan was reviewing the memorial. He seemed to have expected Wang Su to come. After hearing the report, he kept saying: "Let him come in."
"promise."
Not long after, Wang Su entered. After saluting, he stood respectfully below, with the corners of his mouth moving slightly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
King Xuan didn't even raise his head, he kept reviewing the memorials, and said in a calm voice: "Just say what you want to say."
"Yes." Wang Su responded first, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter is strange. At present, Qin wants to attack Huan. Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops are approaching Wuxia Pass, and Lingguo is very interested in this. Those who may participate in the war, at this time, what the Spirit King wants to see most is to reconcile with our country, not such an incident."
"Perhaps it's the generals on the border of Ling Kingdom who are using troops without permission." King Xuan said in a serious tone, still holding the brush in his hand.
"This... the military order is like a mountain, and it concerns both countries. Even if the spirit general Fan Que has a hundred courages, he may not dare to do it." Wang Su said.
"Well, that makes sense." King Xuan still looked calm and calm.
Seeing that King Xuan didn't react at all after what he said, Wang Su rolled his eyes again. He understood in his heart that the king should have seen the problem a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "What does the king mean today?"
Hearing this, King Xuan paused slightly, put down his brush and looked at him, narrowed his beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, sometimes we also need a reason for military mobilization against Lingguo, don't we?"
"This." Wang Su swallowed his saliva and quickly bowed his hands in salute: "Wei Chen understands..."
As the king's order was issued, the Xuan army began to mobilize frequently to the Qingtian area, with a strong intention of attacking Lingguo.
The people of Xuanguo near Qingtian felt a bad breath and spoke loudly of the sageness of the emperor. This was especially true for the Qingtian County Magistrate, who was even excited. Let your Lingguo bully us, how can I, the Xuanguo, be submissive? This is a common thought among people.
On the Lingguo border, there were less than 50,000 troops stationed there. After receiving the military information, guard Fan Que was undoubtedly shocked. While setting up his defenses urgently, he immediately sent a letter to the royal court, requesting military support.
After hearing the news, King Ling was shocked and angry, and immediately started discussions with the ministers in the court hall.
Amid the discussion, Ling Xiang was the first to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Xuan army made a sudden move because our country had invaded the country first, but in the opinion of the veteran, this is just an excuse found by King Xuan Hui. ."
"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable." Cheng Ping followed: "I also believe that King Xuan's action may be intended to coordinate the Qin army and contain our country's aid."
"You mean, this is something that King Qin Xuan has planned for a long time?" King Ling frowned.
"This matter is strange, I dare not say for sure, but in my opinion, King Xuan is most likely bluffing." Cheng Ping said.
King Ling frowned and thought for a moment: "Even if it is as Aiqing said, Xuan's army's mobilization is true, and General Fan Que made it very clear in his letter. If a war breaks out, with the current strength, Xuan's army will have multiple fronts." If we advance side by side, it is very possible to advance into our country.”
As he spoke, he raised the military information in his hand and said: "Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Army is General Yan Qi. From this point of view, I have no choice but to do nothing."
"What does your Majesty mean, is that you want to send more troops to the Qingtian area?" Cheng Ping asked.
"If we don't increase our troops and Xuan's army really invades, then we will become completely passive." Of course King Ling would have this concern.
Cheng Ping thought for a moment and said, "But if we send more troops to the Qingtian area, it will be a diversionary strategy. If our country wants to help Huan again, it will fall into a two-front battle. With insufficient troops, we may not be able to stop the Qin army."
"The problem now is how to deal with the matter with Xuan Guo. It is impossible to help Huan for the time being. It is impossible for me to regard Xuan's army as nothing and transfer the elite to fight in Huan. In this case, even if King Xuan is in It's a bluff, it shows that we don't have enough troops in the country, so I'm afraid we will have to attack in a big way." King Ling said.
There is no doubt that no matter what happens to Xuanjun and where the military deployment is, Lingguo must take care of its own affairs first.
This was a bit of a dilemma. When a minister saw this, he came out and said: "Xuan Guo is just clinging to the crime, which will inevitably escalate the incident. The worst is, let's give in and give him some compensation."
"What nonsense!" King Ling heard this and said with a glare: "Our Ling Kingdom didn't do this at all, so how can we compensate for it!"
