After the peace treaty was signed, the barbarian envoy left with satisfaction.
This scene confused many of the officials of the Tianwu Dynasty.
No matter how one looked at it, this treaty was close to a 'concession' treaty. Yet, the Barbarian Envoy had a happy expression on his face?
"Cough!" The Right Prime Minister coughed lightly and woke everyone up."
"Emperor, since we have signed a treaty with the barbarians, we can send troops to attack East Vanquishing Marquis without any scruples.”
"Attack the northern borders? There was no hurry…Perhaps there was still room for negotiation!”
The Tianwu Great Empress suddenly spoke, and many of the ministers were stunned.
"Emperor, please help this minister's little brother!" Tian Wuheng wailed.
"Humph! Do you think I don't know why the Northguard Marquis hit you and why he killed your guards? I think you're used to being domineering in the Imperial City. You actually went to the northern border to kill people! The Northguard Marquis had already sent someone to explain the entire situation in detail!”
"Your Majesty!" "Does the Northguard Marquis really have a secret plan?" asked the Left Minister immediately.”
"That's right. The Northguard Marquis explained the importance of Northern Barbarian City to me in detail, and he also explained why he wanted to attack Tian Wuheng.”" Yes." The empress nodded." The Northguard Marquis also expressed that he doesn't want to be enemies with the Tianwu Dynasty. He has no intention of rebelling."”
"How can you believe the words of a jackal?”"If he can tear up the imperial edict, what else does he not dare to do?" Minister Tian immediately said.”
"That's not true." Minister Zuo said," Since the Northguard Marquis has no intention of rebelling, perhaps we can still be reasonable. Don't forget that the Barbarians are willing to give in so much because they are afraid of the Northguard Marquis and want to provoke a conflict and war between the Tianwu Dynasty and the Northguard Marquis.”
"This…"
For a moment, many people were speechless.
"Your Majesty, since the Northguard Marquis says he has no intention of rebelling, then let him cede Northern Barbarian City!”"This way, we can avoid a war with the Northern Borderline," said Minister Tian.”
The empress fell silent…
"Your Majesty, since the Marquis of Zhenbei has stated that he has no intention of rebelling, why don't we give it a try?”
The 13 imperial edicts were the highest etiquette in the Tianwu Dynasty. If they refused to accept the 13 imperial edicts, it would mean that they had completely fallen out with the Tianwu Dynasty. This was equivalent to giving the person who accepted the imperial edicts a chance to consider.
"Agreed!" the empress said.
"As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day. I think that with Northguard Marquis's personality, he might really refuse to accept the imperial edict. Why don't we cooperate with the imperial edict and dispatch the army to the northern border?”"If we don't show the dignity of the Tianwu Dynasty, I'm afraid the thirteen imperial edicts will be useless," said Minister Tian.”
"That makes sense!" The Left Minister agreed with Minister Tian's words with difficulty.""However, I'm afraid it won't be easy to intimidate the northern borderline. After all, the northern borderline once defeated the million demon barbarian alliance army!”
"What the Left Minister said is true, but there are some things that are wrong. The Northern Borderline was able to defeat the millions of Demon Barbarian soldiers because they occupied Northern Barbarian City!”The Senior Prime Minister seemed to understand.
"The Northern Borderline has Northern Barbarian City, and they can only win because they have the geographical advantage to defend against the Demon Barbarians. This is also why the Barbarians have retreated at all costs and also want Northern Barbarian City!”"But the Northern Borderline doesn't have the geographical advantage against the Tianwu Dynasty! There might not even be a strong city to defend."
Minister Tian turned to the empress and said respectfully,
"I feel that we have to shock the northern border. I suggest that we mobilize two million elite soldiers, one hundred grandmasters, and ten great grandmasters to deter the northern border!”Minister Tian said.
As soon as these words were said, the court was in an uproar!
Two million astutes, a hundred grandmasters, and ten great grandmasters. This strength was simply terrifying!
If the Tianwu Dynasty mobilized so many troops, as long as it was not a general like General Fei Li who was fishing for fame, it would not be difficult to recover the eastern border!
After all, the Tianwu Dynasty felt that it was more than enough to conquer the eastern border with a million elite soldiers…
"Minister Tian, did you mobilize too many troops?”" Why don't we just take back the eastern border?" Minister Zuo frowned." Why do we need to go to the northern border?"”
"Left Minister, you are wrong." Minister Tian smiled and said," Firstly, if we take back the eastern border, the barbarians, demons, and dwarves will definitely increase the price. Once the war escalated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, we have already signed a contract. If we break the contract, wouldn't we become traitors?
"Secondly, we are only going to intimidate the Northern Borderline. As long as the Northern Borderline bows its head and cedes Northern Barbarian City, we don't need to use force at all!”
"If the Northern Borderline really turns against us, we can also attack the Northern Borderline at the first moment!”
Minister Tian said," Your Majesty, the Northern Borderline is very close to the Central Plains. Sending such a large number of troops will not only deter the Northern Borderline, but also deter the Central Plains. It will prevent the Central Plains from falling to the Northern Borderline!" With Zhong city as a logistical support and the army of Zhong city, it would be easy to take down the northern border!”
The empress was silent for a while. Then, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Correct!"
