In the imperial court of the Tianwu Dynasty.
The empress sat on the throne, and civil and military officials were gathered to discuss matters regarding the eastern border.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Border is of great importance, especially the fall of the 36 cities in the Eastern Border. It has almost opened the door to the East. If we want to defend the Eastern Border now, we have to spend dozens of times the number of troops, which will consume a large amount of national treasury funds.”A white-bearded elder of the three dynasties said solemnly,"
"I suggest we accept the conditions of the barbarians and cede the Northern Barbarian City of the northern border.”
"Minister Tian is right. The reason why the barbarians invaded the eastern border was that Northern Barbarian City had been taken by force.”Another old official said.
"Ridiculous!" At this moment, a white-bearded old man wearing official robes walked out. He was the current Left Prime Minister, Sun Qi.
"If the eastern border is lost, how can the northern border cede territory? Moreover, have you ever thought that once we cede territory, it will damage the dignity of our Tianwu Dynasty?”
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we immediately form a punitive army and recover the 36 cities of the eastern border!”
"Wait!"
Prime Minister Tian immediately stood up."Your Majesty, ever since the Northguard Marquis arrived at the northern border, the Tianwu Dynasty has lost control of the northern border. Moreover, in order to suppress the Lin family, the former emperor had almost banished Lin Qing Yu to the northern border.”
" Although the Eastern Frontier has failed, it's still a good way to suppress the Northern Frontier. If the Northguard Marquis is willing to cede territory, the pressure on the Northern Frontier's defense will increase greatly. This will deplete the strength of the Northern Frontier. If the Northguard Marquis is unwilling to cede territory, we can raise the banner of righteousness and regain control of the Northern Frontier!”
"Nonsense!" Zhangsun Qi shouted angrily," The Northern Borderline pays tribute every year and has never had any ill intentions. They have been guarding the Northern Borderline and have been obstructing the enemy for ten years without committing a single crime. If we force the Northern Borderline to cede territory, I'm afraid it will arouse the Northern Borderline's resistance. Moreover, once we cede territory, it will damage the dignity of Tianwu!”
" Minister Tian!" Zhangsun Qi shouted at Minister Tian." Minister Tian, what are your intentions for coming up with such a plan to make our Tianwu Dynasty have more enemies?"”
"Minister Zuo, who doesn't know about the Northguard Marquis 'situation? Moreover, signing the agreement would not only make it easy to take back the 36 cities, but also bring peace to the eastern border. It would also put great pressure on the northern border. It was the best of both worlds, and it could also test the loyalty of the Northguard Marquis.”
" If Northguard Marquis is disloyal," Minister Tian said confidently," we'll have an excuse to deal with the northern border. It won't be too late to send the Tianwu Dynasty's army to recover the eastern border."”
"Nonsense! You're simply making enemies for our Tianwu Dynasty!”
"Enough!"
Just as the Left and Right Prime Ministers were arguing, the empress suddenly shouted!
The court instantly fell silent.
The empress closed her eyes and pondered for a long time.
"What if we let the Marquis of Zhenbei recover the eastern border?”
As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked.
The Right Prime Minister had the strongest reaction."Absolutely not! This was an act of inviting a wolf into the house! If the Marquis of Zhenbei conquered the Eastern Border, his power and prestige would increase greatly, and he would be a threat to the royal family!”
"That's right, this won't work! Why should he let the Marquis of North Town go to recover the eastern border? Our Tianwu Dynasty is full of talents and capable generals.”The Left Minister immediately expressed his stance.
At this moment, a general walked out."
"I'm willing to lead the army to recover the eastern border!"
The empress rubbed her head and sighed." Since that's the case, I'll appoint General Feili as the General of the Eastern Conquest. He will mobilize millions of elite soldiers to recover the Eastern Border! As for the matter of ceding territory, it was temporarily put on hold.”
"A mere 300,000-strong alliance army of demons and barbarians doesn't need an army of a million. I only need 600,000 elite soldiers to recover the eastern border in less than a month!”General Philip was full of confidence.
"General Fei Li, you can't be careless. The barbarians are cunning, and the million strong army is the safest!”the empress said.
"Yes!" General Fly replied respectfully.
"Three days later, I will personally carry out the ceremony for General Flying!”
……
At the same time.
This news also spread to the northern borders.
In the meeting hall of the Northern Borderline.
"It seems that the empress isn't stupid." Li Feng smiled.”
"That being said, the empress is obviously wary of us in the North Border…If we let the Northern Battlefront Army recover the East Border, it will be easy!”General Li Cang also smiled.
Lin Qing Yu didn't say much, but suddenly said,"
"Which general of the Barbarian and Demonic Tribe conquered the Eastern Border?”
"Lord Marquis, it's the famous barbarian general 'Heavenly Tiger' leading the army.”General Fang Rui was the military counselor of the Northern Battlefront Army, and Lin Qingyu trusted him deeply.
"Loser, Heavenly Tiger? Hahaha, that guy is definitely a famous general!”" That's right!" Li Feng mocked." When I surrounded his base camp, General Heavenly Tiger was so scared that he threw away his helmet and armor. If he hadn't abandoned his army and hid in the stinky pool for three days and nights, his head would have been hanging at the gate of Northern Barbarian City by now!”
Everyone in the meeting hall burst into laughter.
"Who is the one attacking the eastern border?" Lin Qing Yu asked.
"I heard that it's General Fei Li. This person has published many strategic masterpieces and is very famous in the Tianwu Dynasty.”General Li Feng said.
"Lord Marquis, the Tianwu Dynasty did not ask us to cede territory. Should we cancel the state of emergency in the northern borders?”
Lin Qing Yu shook his head.”
"That's right…there's no rush." Fang Rui added.
……
At the same time.
The million elite soldiers of the Tianwu Dynasty were ready and headed straight for the eastern border.
General Fei Li led the troops in high spirits. Beside him, East Vanquishing Marquis Murong Yan was trying to please him.
"General Fei Li, your twenty-six strategies have benefited me greatly. With you here, recovering the eastern border will be as easy as taking a piece of cake!”
Although Murong Yan appeared respectful on the surface, he was actually very aggrieved. If he hadn't lost the 36 cities of the Eastern Border, why would East Vanquishing Marquis fawn over Fei Li?
Now that he had no choice but to lower his head, he still hoped that General Fei Li would help him recover the Eastern Border and take back the throne of East Vanquishing Marquis.
"Why do we need a million troops to deal with mere barbarians?”"I'm afraid those barbarians don't know what strategy is!" General Philip said in high spirits.”
"General Flying is right!" "General Flying Tiger, the famous barbarian general, is just a warrior," Murong Yan said respectfully."How can he be compared to the general?”
The army was mighty and full of morale. After all, General Fei Li was famous and had many books on military strategy. Everyone felt that they would win this time!
