Faced with the current situation, the ghost tribe formed two factions regarding war and peace.
Because everyone had their own reasons, the Ghost King was in a dilemma and couldn't make a decision for a while, so the parliamentary meeting lasted for several days.
There was another dispute today, with the two sides arguing fiercely in the hall, but fortunately there was a result, and the war faction represented by Mokes finally gained the upper hand.
But just when the top leaders of the ghost clan reached this resolution, a piece of news reached Congress.
The Qin army advanced rapidly and crossed the Nali River.
"What did you say!?" When he first heard this, the Ghost King stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.
"I received urgent news that the Qin...Qin army has crossed the Nali River, and its cavalry is sweeping across the Nali area..." The sergeant who sent the message stammered, not even daring to look at the Ghost King's face.
"What!" This time the Ghost King finally confirmed, his eyes widened: "Why are the Qin soldiers marching so fast! It's only been a few days! Aren't they afraid of going deep alone and being trapped in a tight siege!"
How could the sergeant dare to answer such a question? He knelt down and did not dare to speak.
"Go again!" The Ghost King waved his hand bitterly: "Pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army!"
"Yes!" The sergeant quickly retreated.
After he left, the hall instantly became a mess. Different from the anxiety before, panic appeared clearly on people's faces.
"How is this possible? Don't they attack the base? Why do they use soldiers..."
"The Qin army has crossed the Nali River and can invade the hinterland at any time. What should we do..."
Mokaisi jumped out directly and pointed the finger at the veteran of the peace negotiation faction of the ghost tribe: "Bawe! If you hadn't tried to negotiate peace with the Qin army several times, resulting in the undecided resolution of the Congress, how could it have wasted so long! It’s all right now, the Qin army has arrived in Nali!”
Bawe was a thin old man with deep green eyes and dry skin. Hearing this, he said angrily: "War and peace cannot be decided in a day. How can a general say such a thing? Do I want to waste my time? Isn't that right?" You insist on discussing war! Use your words to confuse His Majesty the King!"
"That's unreasonable! If you hadn't wanted to negotiate a peace, I would have already been ordered by His Majesty the King to transfer the warriors to Jikan for defense. How could the Qin army possibly march!"
"That's nonsense! If you hadn't wanted to negotiate a war, I would have already negotiated with the Qin State, and maybe we would have signed an armistice agreement now!"
"As a minister of our country, how can you bow to the Central Plains? What's the difference between talking about peace and surrendering!"
"As a general of our country, you only know how to use troops randomly. Don't you know that diplomacy is more important! If it is beneficial to the country, it doesn't matter if you bow your head temporarily!"
The two of them had a heated argument that turned red in the face, causing other chaotic officials to quiet down.
"Okay!" The Ghost King was furious. He couldn't bear it any longer and said sternly: "Are you going to keep making this noise? It's so loud that the Qin army comes to the capital!!"
These words were so serious, and they came from the mouth of the king, so the two people immediately fell silent and bowed to admit their mistake.
The Ghost King glanced at the two of them, not daring to waste any more time, and immediately said: "We have just made a decision. Since we are going to fight, we must quickly mobilize our troops without further delay! Mokes! I order you to lead the warriors in the country, Go to the Nali area and defeat the Qin army!"
"Mokes takes the order!" The latter was shocked.
"Your Majesty the King..." Bawe hesitated to speak.
"You don't have to say it again. I understand the importance of diplomacy." The Ghost King said: "But when it comes to peace negotiations, only by defeating the Qin army once can we have the capital to negotiate. Otherwise, we will have no right to speak! Don't you understand this truth? ."
"Yes, His Majesty the King is wise." Bawe could not say anything more.
Following the resolution of the Congress, the ghost tribe began to mobilize troops on a large scale. Last time, Laisen mobilized 200,000 troops. This time, Mokes mobilized another 200,000 troops, using all the ghost troops available for battle, leaving only one. Thousands of guards protect the city of Duyal, which can be said to be the strength of the whole country to resist.
If they are defeated again this time, the ghost clan will no longer have any power to maneuver. This is also the main reason why the ghost king has been hesitant in the battle before.
It's too much pressure.
Therefore, when Mokes set off, the Ghost King personally sent him off, giving him numerous instructions and entrusting him with important tasks.
"Mokes, you are the most skilled general in our country. You have rich experience. The fate of the country is left to you. You must defeat the Qin army. Even if you cannot defeat it, you must not let it take another step forward!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the King! I will definitely not let you down!" Mokesi wore a suit of noble armor, with chest, shoulder and knee armor, giving him a very knightly feel.
"Well, I believe in your ability!" The Ghost King said with a serious face: "All the military supplies required by the army have been prepared. Go ahead and get to Nali as soon as possible while the Qin army is not yet stable!"
"Yes!" Mokaisi was shaken. After saluting the Ghost King, he got on his horse and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for your subordinate's success report!"
As he spoke, he twitched the reins slightly and waved his right hand towards the army: "Let's go!"
The mighty ghost army formed several long dragons, followed by cavalry.
After the army left here, the Ghost King was still standing there, feeling like he had not yet recovered.
There was a time when our own side invaded the Central Plains whenever it wanted, bringing back a large amount of loot every time. Moreover, the Central Plains was weak and incompetent because it had more to offer than peace and compensation.
But since Emperor Qin, why has it become like this?
Bawe was beside him and interrupted his thoughts: "Your Majesty the King, I have something I don't know whether I should say or not."
The Ghost King came back to his senses and said, "Just tell me."
Bawe hesitated for a moment: "Mokes and General Laisen have always been at odds with each other. If we lead the army this time, we may not care about the life and death of Seth City. If that's the case..."
The Ghost King glanced at him: "Do you think that I don't know this situation? But do you think there is anyone in the country who has more military capabilities than Mokes? He is our army's greatest hope, and I must use him. "
He paused and said, "Besides, the distant water cannot quench the near thirst now, so we can only let Laisen stick to Seth. After Mokes drives the Qin army out of Nali, I will find a way to support him."
"His Majesty the King has thought carefully, but the veteran has said too much." Bawe bowed respectfully.
"Okay, let's go back." The Ghost King breathed out and began to walk side by side with Bawe, followed by a large number of guards: "Bawe, why is the Central Plains so strong now? Is this still the sheep in our memories? "
"Your Majesty the King should know that at this time, the Central Plains has been unified by Emperor Qin, and the fact that it can wipe out other countries shows the bravery of the Qin army." Bawei said, and then cautiously said: "And Emperor Qin Xiao Yuan, it is...exactly His Majesty the King’s father-killing enemy.”
"Hateful!" The Ghost King said angrily: "I will take revenge in my lifetime! I swear to cut Xiao Yuan into pieces!"
