"Gather the generals for a meeting!"
Hua Mulan's face was dark and solemn. It was not because she was afraid of the 300,000 Xiongnu and the million Demon Seeds, but because she was furious!
Hu Gou had already taken the initiative to attack. How dare he bully Xuan Yong?
None of the soldiers in the northern territory were easy to tolerate. Hua Mulan was a female general who had never been afraid of an enemy!
………….
"Greetings, Commander!"
A moment later, five generals came into the main tent. They assisted Hua Mulan and led the 100,000 troops at the northern border. However, when they saw Hua Mulan, the commander of the northern border, they only cupped their fists slightly.
This was because there was a rule in the army that generals did not remove their armor.
Even when they were resting at night, they would wear heavy armor, let alone kneel down to the commander and do such mundane etiquette.
There was only one rule in the army, which was to obey orders and fight bravely. Everything else was empty talk.
In the spacious central tent, Hua Mulan, the commander of the Northern Territory, sat in the middle with a heroic aura. Baili Shouyue and Kai sat on both sides with solemn expressions. The other five generals took their seats one after another.
"A small Xiongnu scout team and 300 Xiongnu wolf soldiers attacked a village in the north of Xuan Yong. They were cruel and vicious, and I led the Rui Lin Army to wipe them out!”
"The battle has already begun. The Xiongnu will not give up just like that, and we will not sit still and wait for death!”
At the mention of the Xiongnu, Hua Mulan was furious. It was not only because the Xiongnu had invaded the border of Xuan Yong, killing the innocent, and using cruel methods that angered both men and gods!
It was also because Hua Mulan's mother, grandfather, and grandmother had all died at the hands of the Xiongnu. She would definitely take revenge!
"Hmph, this group of Hu dogs is going too far. They're targeting unarmed and innocent villagers. Do they really think that Xuan Yong has no one else?”
After Baili Shouyue heard this, his face turned cold and gloomy as if blood was about to drip out. He slammed the table in anger, unable to calm down!
"This is simply too much. Although there are only 100,000 soldiers in the northern border, when have we, the old Qin people, ever been afraid?”A general shouted.
"Commander Hua, I am willing to lead the army to fight to the death with the Xiongnu!”
Kai, who was standing at the side, was so angry that his fingers were trembling. He extended his butcher knife toward the old man and the child. Only Hu Gou would do such a dehumanizing thing!
"However, according to the commander-in-chief's orders, we are willing to fight to the death!”
Baili Shouyue and Kai requested to fight at the same time!
"However, according to the commander-in-chief's orders, we are willing to fight to the death!”
Under the leadership of Baili Shouyue and Kai, the generals in the tent stood up and cupped their fists. Their fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white. Their voices were like a loud bell that shook the sky. It was as if their hearts were struggling to calm down!
"Alright, the generals and I will defend the country gates to the death, protect my people, and fight to the death to protect Xuan Yong!”
"Listen up!"
Hua Mulan shouted and stood up as well. The entire central army tent was filled with heroic spirit as the battle raged.
"Increase vigilance and prepare for battle! All the scouts were to move out to investigate the movements of the Xiongnu and the demon seeds at any time. If there was a flaw, they would take the initiative to attack!”
"Understood!"
With a deafening sound, except for Baili Shouyue and Kai, the other generals all left the main tent to prepare for battle.
Hua Mulan wrote another poem and a letter of request for help. It was sent to Xuan Yong urgently.
The 100,000 border guards were facing 300,000 Xiongnu soldiers and a million demon seeds. Although they were full of fighting spirit, Hua Mulan did not want to risk the lives of these 100,000 soldiers when their manpower was exhausted!
Little did she know that when she had just arrived in the Northern Region to take over the Northern Region Army, Ying Zheng, who was far away in Xuan Yong, had already received the news from the Dark Tune Palace.
At this moment, there was a huge debate about attacking the Xiongnu.
"The Xiongnu have repeatedly invaded the border, and this time, they even injured our people.”
Dressed in a black dragon robe, Ying Zheng stood tall and sturdy, sitting on the dragon chair. Below the stage, all the civil and military officials stood solemnly. All the civil and military officials in the court were suffocated by Ying Zheng alone, and even their heads were covered in sweat.
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that it is not appropriate to start a war at this time.”
"Your Majesty, let's take a step back and protect the country. When we win, we can attack the Xiongnu in the north!”
After someone proposed a peace treaty, all the ministers agreed.
"Desolate! Do you think that I, the mighty soldiers of Xuan Yong, will be defeated by a mob of Xiongnu and low-level demons?”Meng Tian shouted, her face full of anger!
As a general on the battlefield, he was most unaccustomed to these timid people who advocated peace. The Xuan Yong of today was no longer the Xuan Yong of three years ago. Although his national strength was not as strong as the Great Tang, his military strength had already surpassed that of other countries. Why should he fear the Xiongnu?
Did these civil officials who advocated peace still think that Xuan Yong was the Xuan Yong who allowed the Xiongnu to bully him more than ten years ago?
"General Meng, do you think that Xuan Yong is invincible after wiping out the Six Nations? As a general, aren't you being too arrogant and underestimating the enemy! If you are so conceited, you will lose the lives of millions of Xuan Yong's soldiers!”
"Senior Chen is right. The Xiongnu have all fused with the blood of the devil seeds, and their combat strength is valiant. This time, they have millions of devil seeds accompanying them. I, Xuan Yong, have just pacified the six countries. My soldiers are exhausted and should not fight again. It is better to negotiate peace.”Another person who advocated peace stood out and said.
This person was also a remonstrant doctor named Peng Yu.
"Negotiate peace?" Meng Tian laughed coldly. What a joke! The current Xuan Yong, His Majesty is wise and divine, and his soldiers are undefeated. Why are they afraid of the Xiongnu? Your Majesty, Meng Tian only needs 100,000 elite soldiers to kill the Xiongnu at the northern border! I hope Your Majesty will approve!"
Bang!
Ying Zheng slapped the table and stood up.
"I've made up my mind. The army will immediately move out to attack the Xiongnu in the north.”
Clang! Clang!
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the ministers fell silent.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
"Now that the six states have just been pacified, the internal turmoil is urgent and we need to gather the people's will. Moreover, Xuan Yong's army has yet to rest, so our army will definitely lose this battle!”
When the entire court was silent, Doctor Chen stood up and wept bitterly as he advised.
"That's right, Your Majesty. This old minister has been loyal to Great Qin for half of his life and is willing to go through fire and water for Great Qin. However, this matter of attacking the Xiongnu in the north must not be allowed, absolutely not!”
"Your Majesty, if we are dragged into the quagmire of war by the Xiongnu, the other countries might have some strange movements. At that time, we will be in trouble.”
The remonstrant doctor Peng Yu also agreed.
"Jiujiu Old Qin, when have you ever been afraid of the enemy? Those who dare to invade my territory will definitely fight to the end! Anyone who dared to mention the word 'peace negotiation' again would be severely punished!”
Ying Zheng slapped his dragon throne hard. His platinum-level cultivation base and the aura of a king's fate surged across the entire court. The entire court was like a raging sea, and all the officials were almost unable to stand still.
Negotiate peace?
Negotiating peace with the Xiongnu was nothing more than ceding territory and paying reparations!
How could Ying Zheng do such a thing when he was losing his country?
Moreover, attacking the Xiongnu in the north was for the sake of Xuanyong's long-term stability!
Xuan Yong had just pacified the Six Nations. Cao Cao of the Third Land, Liu Bang of the Great River Valley, and Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School were all coveting Xuan Yong!
At this moment, Ying Zheng needed a great battle, a victory, to intimidate these people. Otherwise, if they saw that Xuan Yong was weak, they would definitely pounce on him and tear him apart!
At that time, the other Hu Kingdoms would also take the opportunity to attack!
Negotiate peace?
Humph!
It seemed to be for Xuan Yong's sake, but in reality, it was an act of national subjugation!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We are doing this for Xuan Yong!”
These two factions didn't know what was good for them and acted willfully. At this time, they came out to dissuade them.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly. What did he mean by saying that he was doing it for Xuan Yong? To put it bluntly, he was just afraid of death!
"Drag him away, beat him with eighty sticks, and send him to the imperial prison for trial!”
The emperor's words were like the nine cauldrons. These two people were so persistent in negotiating peace. No matter what the reason was, they had already committed the crime of defying their superiors!
Bai Qi, who had been waiting by Ying Zheng's side all this time, immediately took action. He held a person in each hand, as if he was holding a little chick. No matter how he shouted and struggled, it was useless.
The ministers were dumbfounded. They had never thought that Ying Zheng would be so decisive in killing these two old ministers who had quite a high prestige in the imperial court.
From then on, no one in the court had any objections to attacking the Xiongnu in the north.
"Immediately send troops to reinforce the northern territory and retreat!”
