No one can help Yang Sheng make the decision according to the requirements of the demon clan. At least until he comes up with an idea, no one will speak up on this matter. The Ministry of War Yamen was like this, and so was Wu Kui who was following Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng was left alone in the study, pacing quietly without saying a word. until late at night.
Early the next morning, Yang Sheng called the chief and adjutant of the Ministry of War Yamen to the study room and expressed his thoughts.
"Although Beiwu and our Nanyuan have long-standing grievances, I also have the dream of taking Beiwu and restoring the glory of Qiande Kingdom. But this dream should never have the shadow of the demon clan mixed in it. Otherwise, the reputation of Nanyuan Kingdom will be The entire human race will be completely stinked, and it will no longer be possible to integrate into it. In the end, it will only be difficult and forced to become a vassal of the demon race. This end can be imagined.
Therefore, the Yaozu’s suggestion cannot be agreed. "
After Yang Sheng said these words, the chief and adjutants of the Ministry of War Yamen in front of him were obviously relieved. They were previously worried that in order to realize the long-cherished wish of every emperor since the founding of the Nanyuan Kingdom, Yang Sheng would bravely conspire with the demon clan to scheme against Beiwu. Even mentally prepared words of persuasion. Now it seems that Yang Sheng is very calm and is not confused by the heavy profits.
"Your Majesty, your majesty is wise! The ambition of the demon tribe's wolf is playing some tricks. This is like a joke in front of your majesty..."
The people in the army were always blunt in flattering, and Yang Sheng was always unhappy. He waved his hand to interrupt the compliment, and then said: "What you need to consider now is what will happen after rejecting the demon clan. Xiyuan County is currently looking at It’s far from peace yet.”
It’s easy to say no, but what are the consequences?
As soon as Yang Sheng's words came out of his mouth, the three people from the Ministry of War Yamen quickly swallowed back the compliments that followed. The chief officer of the Ministry of War Yamen took out a strategy and placed it in front of Yang Sheng.
"Your Majesty, the monsters cannot be trusted, but they must not be underestimated. The Ministry of War has come up with two plans based on the victory of Xiyuan County against the monsters last time and the specific situation this time. Please take a look at it."
Yang Sheng picked up the plan in front of him and asked the other party to explain it while flipping through it.
"So that Your Majesty will know. One of the strategies of the Ministry of War Yamen is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Continue to follow the previous defense strategy of Xiyuan County, and deploy the Bagua formation as a stepped defense line in the military camp, and then use rangers to disturb its supplies. In addition, this time the rear is stable and more troops can be sent to Xiyuan County, which should be able to achieve a better resistance than the last time. Of course, this is only possible on the premise that the demon clan will not officially start a national war with us. .
Secondly, if the demon clan starts a national war with us. The only option left is to ask for help. The nearest Beiwu and Huayue are both available. "
"Beiwu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Beiwu! Lip-dead-teeth Han Beiwu will not understand. Even if Beiwu does not understand, Huayue will never sit idly by. And if it really comes to the point of national war, it will definitely not be the case for the Haoyue Demon Kingdom. It’s an easy thing. Then it’s all about resilience and luck.”
These two military strategies are very crude and cannot even be called military strategies. They can be said to be a strategic direction for coping. If you want to implement it specifically, a lot of details need to be filled in.
Plus, both options are too rigid. In the end, the most injured must be Nanyuan Kingdom. Unfortunately, Xiyuan County is the largest grain producing area in Nanyuan. Although they were always plundered by monsters in the past, there were still 60-70% left after all, and the Nanyuan Kingdom was much better off. But if the war continues, let alone the national war that completely destroys Xiyuan County, the scale of the previous one is enough to reduce the food production of Xiyuan County by 70% next year, or even the harvest may end.
The worst thing the demon clan can do is just pat their butts and walk away. What about Nanyuan Kingdom? It's like being cut open in a vital part. Although you won't die immediately, if you can't stop the bleeding, you will slowly weaken and eventually you will die. Even if it is not destroyed by the demon clan, it is very likely to be divided and eaten by the surrounding human nations.
Several people saw the emperor's brows furrowed and remained silent, knowing that they were dissatisfied with both strategic directions.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has been stretched before. Not to mention supporting the national war, it will be unsustainable to attack and defend Xiyuan County with the same intensity as before, and we need to divert food from the people.
And Saiyuan County is a granary. Do you know what will happen if you continue to fight like this?
Both solutions are inappropriate. "
Several people from the Ministry of War Yamen were in trouble.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to delay? But this cannot be delayed!"
Yang Sheng shook his head. drag? He is not a fool, how could he not know that he can't hold back?
"You can talk to them tomorrow and tell them our bottom line. Xiyuan County is the land of the Nanyuan Kingdom, and not even a single cent can be given away. Nor can it be exchanged. There is no room for negotiation on this point.
Since they took the initiative to send an envoy over, and the person who came was a high priest, it was enough to show that they attached great importance to this matter. There must be something behind Xiyuan County that they need to get. Throw the words to them and see how they respond. Let's meet again and try again. "
Yang Sheng couldn't think of a better way for the time being. But he didn't continue racking his brains. What he grabbed was the initiative that the demon clan took the initiative to find. If the fight continues as soon as the demon clan is rejected here, then why send envoys? What's more, help conquer the Beiwu Kingdom? Is it that easy to defeat Beiwu Kingdom? Why not just attack Nanyuan Kingdom after spending so much effort?
So Yang Sheng felt that the demon clan was also trying to find out what they were saying. Even the two strategies for replacing Xiyuan County don't show any sincerity. They are perfunctory. They sound bluffing at first, but they don't make sense when you think about it carefully.
The next day, the Ministry of War Yamen directly relayed Yang Sheng's words. He directly rejected the two offers offered by the Yaozu in exchange for Xiyuan County yesterday.
As a result, the demon clan acted very strongly and immediately threatened to leave Yuanding Imperial City, leaving Nanyuan Kingdom to wait for the war to come.
To be honest, these fierce words were quite bluffing, but in the end, these monsters did not leave the imperial city, but returned to the negotiation table angrily, but demanded to talk directly to the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom.
But after Nanyuan Kingdom gets and confirms its initiative, how can you just do whatever you say? Did you also meet the emperor as soon as you asked?
So the two sides just froze. The delay lasted for a full seven days, during which the demon clan even really left Yuanding Imperial City, which once shocked the Nanyuan Kingdom, but in the end Yang Sheng held his nerve and did not show any signs of cowardice. In the end, the demon team turned back before they had gone a hundred miles. With a livid face, they handed a new strategy to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and asked it to be delivered to the Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom on his behalf.
At this point, the battle between the Monster Clan and Nanyuan Kingdom is temporarily dominated by Nanyuan Kingdom.
But although the Yao clan once again gave their price, the price still made him feel hot when it came to the hands of Emperor Yang Sheng, and he once again fell into entanglement.
ps: I still have to go to the hospital for physical therapy today, and I have one chapter left to make up in the afternoon. We will resume normal updates tomorrow, please forgive me.
