Great Yan's Imperial Palace, in the royal study.
Wang Yuanlang, Yue Fei, Baiqi, Gao Shun, and the other generals who had followed Xu Hao to conquer the Northern Territory were all gathered here.
Looking at the map of the seven countries on the table, everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
"This plain is between Western Liang and the Chen Nation. It is also here that the five nations have gathered an alliance army of 1.5 million!”
Xu Hao pointed at a place on the map and then looked up at Yue Fei. Baiqi and the others slowly said.
"Hiss, my goodness, an army of 1.5 million! What kind of scene would that be?"
Wang Yuanlang took a deep breath and exclaimed.
The most he had seen in his life was in front of Great Peace City. At that time, they had been surrounded by an army of nearly a million soldiers!
"Is General Wang afraid?" Gao Shun smiled as he sized up Wang Yuanlang and teased him.
"F * ck your grandmother, why would I be afraid?”Wang Yuanlang was immediately unhappy and retorted fiercely.
So what if he had a million soldiers? At most, it would be a life-and-death battle!
"Generals, stop bickering!”Yue Fei looked at the two of them helplessly, then walked to the side of the map.
He pointed at the western region of Dafeng, Yanzhou and other places and said,""Your Majesty, if the alliance army of five countries attacks, they will definitely enter Dafeng from the Western Region through Western Liang!。”
"Ever since Prince Yan transferred the troops here and lost to us, this place has been empty.”
"In fact, several provinces have already been occupied by Western Liang!”
"In other words, we can stop the enemy outside the Western Region!”
"Sigh, even if Emperor Huaiyang died, he would still bring us trouble.”Wang Yuanlang cursed indignantly.
If it wasn't for Emperor Huaiyang and the fact that there were still defensive forces everywhere, the difference in numbers wouldn't have been too great.
However, now, the total number of people in Great Yan that could be mobilized for battle was only a little over 300,000!
Moreover, this was the army of the Northern Territory!
"Great Yan has just been established, and there are no armaments in the various regions. The national treasury is even more empty. No one will miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”Wuqi, who had been silent the entire time, opened his mouth and said expressionlessly.
Right now, Great Flame was at its weakest!
Once they had a few more years of peaceful transition, the other five nations would have to think twice before attacking them.
"This is only one of them! Most importantly, they bullied Great Flame because it had no foundation!”Yue Fei nodded.
"Sigh, when will Great Yan have a foundation!”
Everyone sighed and felt a little disappointed. A dynasty without a foundation would be like a rootless duckweed even if their army was invincible.
"Alright, don't be sad about spring and autumn!”
Xu Hao tapped his finger on the table. Everyone immediately restrained their emotions and looked at their Emperor.
"Yue Fei, your Back Wei Army is the fastest in the army. I order you to immediately lead eight thousand of them and rush here as fast as you can!”
At this moment, Xu Hao looked at Yue Fei and pointed at a certain spot on the map.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of His Majesty's slender finger.
"Ningyuan City?"
Yue Fei's eyes suddenly focused. That was the main road from the western region to the hinterland of Great Yan.
It could be said that if one wanted to enter Great Yan and attack Great Peace, they would have to pass through Ning Yuan City.
"This general will obey!"
Yue Fei instantly understood that His Majesty wanted to stop all the troops of the five countries in the Western Region. Thinking of this, he immediately cupped his fists and said respectfully before leaving in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, why did you intercept them in Ningyuan City? Why don't we just go straight to the border of the Western Region? There were no citizens of Great Yan there, so wouldn't it be easier to use it?”
Although most of the Western Region had been occupied by Western Liang, Wang Yuanlang felt that with the strength of the Northern Region Army, they could completely recover the Western Region before the five-nation coalition army arrived.
Then, at the border, they would stop the alliance of the five countries from entering the country!
"Are you stupid? Is there enough time?" Gao Shun rolled his eyes and complained.
Why did His Majesty want the fastest of the army, the Bei Wei Army, to go to Ningyuan City at the fastest speed?
With just a little thought, he knew that there was not enough time!
If they had moved a little later, Ning Yuan City would have been destroyed, and the alliance army of the five kingdoms would have marched straight into the heart of Great Yan, Jiangnan!
The final battle of millions of troops would affect many Jiangnan civilians.
"Could it be that the alliance army of the five nations is already at the western border?”
Wang Yuanlang wasn't stupid. He immediately thought of it.
"Alright, stop talking!"
"The Bei Wei Army will first occupy Ningyuan City and stop the vanguard cavalry of the alliance army!”
"As for you guys…"
"Bai Qi, Gao Shun, listen up!"
"I order the two of you to lead 100,000 elite soldiers of Great Qin and 700 Breaking Ranks to Ningyuan City!”
"This general will obey!"
Bai Qi and Gao Shun did not waste any time. After clasping their fists in response, they immediately left the Imperial Palace with orders.
Seeing that Baiqi and Gao Shun had already left, and that the Emperor was still not giving him any orders, Wang Yuanlang became anxious.
"Your Majesty, what about us? Should he bring his remaining brothers from the Northern Territory to Ningyuan City?”
"Can you outrun the four-legged Bei Wei Army, or can you outrun the Breaking Ranks Camp and Great Qin's elite soldiers?”
" This..." Wang Yuanlang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Gao Shun and the others were all livestock. Each and every one of their subordinates were Rank-6!
Especially the horses of the Wei Army, all of them were top grade Mutants, and their speed was comparable to that of a Third Grade Transcendent.
Ordinary soldiers like them, including the original cavalry of the Northern Territory, would only eat dust every time they followed behind.
"Go and mobilize the troops! After I give some instructions, I will lead the troops to the Western Region!”Xu Hao looked at Wang Yuanlang and said calmly.
"Your Majesty wants to personally lead the army?" Wang Yuanlang opened his mouth wide.
In the past, he was His Highness, but now, he was His Majesty. It was just a change in one word, but their identities were worlds apart.
Among the seven countries, it was extremely rare for an emperor to personally lead an expedition.
After all, no one dared to touch the Imperial City. Their foundation was there!
And once they left, they might encounter all kinds of dangers. Therefore, the total number of times the emperor personally led the army to the seven countries did not exceed ten times!
……
White Deer Institute, within the Headmaster's tea room!
Qin Liyan looked at the woman sitting across from him and said with a faint smile,"May I know why the envoys of Great Xia have come here?”
"Dean Qin, no matter what, the Confucian Saint is still a member of our Grand Xia. Is there a problem with this little girl coming here to take a look and pay her respects?”
The woman was wearing a plain white dress, and her appearance could be said to be ordinary.
"If that's all, there's naturally no problem!”Qin Liyan smiled meaningfully.
This time, Great Xia was independent of the alliance army of the five nations and had not made a move. It was inevitable that people would find it strange.
After all, everyone wanted a piece of the pie in Great Yan's territory!
As the strongest country among the seven kingdoms, Great Xia was no exception!
Therefore, Qin Liyan suspected that the reason why Great Xia didn't make a move was because they had other motives.
"Principal, you must be joking. Great Xia…"
The ordinary-looking woman smiled indifferently. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the police station.
She furrowed her brows as she watched the anxious scholarly disciples rush in from the door.
"Principal, Great Flame has begun to mobilize their troops, and…"
"Isn't this expected? How could he be so flustered!”Qin Liyan scolded with a dark face.
The scholarly disciple's face turned red as he stammered,"
"Moreover…His Majesty is going to personally lead the army!”
"What?!"
Qin Liyan's expression changed, and he stood up from his chair in shock.
The ordinary-looking woman also stood up, her face filled with surprise.
"Where is His Majesty now? How could he be so muddle-headed? He was no longer the prince of the Northern Region. How could he easily lead the army?”
The scholarly disciple who was being stared at by his headmaster hurriedly said,""Director, His Majesty has already left the palace and is about to leave the city!”
"Nonsense!" Qin Liyan waved his sleeves and immediately left, rushing towards Great Peace City.
The ordinary-looking woman frowned slightly and followed.
She and Qin Liyan were both flying in the air. It didn't take long for them to arrive above Great Peace City.
Looking down from here, one could see neat rows of soldiers walking through the streets of Great Peace City.
At the very front of the army were a dozen or so generals riding on warhorses.
They surrounded a figure riding a white horse and carrying a military uniform.
Even if one looked down from the sky, one could still see that the figure was as beautiful as jade.
Moreover, the armor did not destroy his temperament. Instead, it added a lot of heroic and domineering aura to him.
"Your Majesty, no!"
At this moment, Qin Liyan quickly rushed down and blocked the front of the army.
"Principal, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Hao, who was riding on a white horse, frowned when he saw the old man who had suddenly appeared and blocked the front of the army.
"Your Majesty, you are now the ruler of Great Yan. You can't easily lead an army personally. If anything happens, how about calling Great Yan? What about the people? What about us?"
Qin Liyan's face was solemn, and his voice was powerful.
As expected of the leader of the scholarly faction, his eloquence was impeccable!
"With my cultivation, how many people do you think can hurt me?" Xu Hao said after a pause.”
"Your Majesty, what if? Who could guarantee that they would be invincible forever? Therefore, for the sake of safety, this old man asks Your Majesty to change his mind and give up on personally leading the army.”
As the principal of the scholarly faction, Qin Liyan knew even more. According to the historical records, the emperors of the seven kingdoms who personally led their armies to war did not have a good ending!
That was because once you appeared on the battlefield, the enemy would use all sorts of methods to kill you!
Once the Emperor died, the morale would be gone. What was the point of fighting!
If it was the Qi Kingdom. The Xi Liang Dynasty and the other dynasties were still fine. Even if an emperor died, their foundation was still there. Moreover, they all had children. They could just randomly pick one to target.
However, Xu Hao was the only person in Great Yan's Imperial Family. If he were to fall, who could replace him?
Wouldn't this completely destroy Great Yan's hope?
"Director, you are messing up my morale! Get out of the way!"
Xu Hao's brows were tightly knitted. This was simply an old stubborn man.
"No! Unless His Majesty changes his mind or kills me!”
Qin Liyan was very determined and did not give in.
Many of the commoners who had been watching the army set off had strange expressions when they saw this scene.
"What are you doing? That old man actually dared to block His Majesty's horse!”
"Didn't you hear me clearly? I won't let His Majesty personally lead the army!"
"Is there a problem with the emperor's personal expedition? Why not?"
"How should I put it? I can't explain it to you. Anyway, you just need to know that in the history of the seven countries, those emperors who personally led their armies were either killed or captured! Do you understand now?"
"Ah, since it's so dangerous, why is Your Majesty still leading the army personally?”
Many people immediately started discussing. In the end, many people could not help but wonder. Since it was so dangerous to personally lead an army, why would His Majesty go?
"Dean Qin, are you forcing me?”
At this moment, Xu Hao's expression turned cold when he saw Qin Liyan acting shamelessly.
"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous for you to go on a personal expedition. Can't you listen to my advice?”
"In short, if Your Majesty doesn't give me a convincing reason today, I won't let it happen even if I die here!”
Qin Liyan's face was stern. Even though Xu Hao was already a little angry, he still didn't give in.
In fact, he really didn't want His Majesty to take the risk!
When he was only the prince, an accident happened. However, the north was conquered by Da Feng! But now, it was the emperor. If something happened, the world would belong to others. Countless people would become slaves of other countries.
Therefore, no matter who it was for, Qin Liyan had to persuade the Emperor to give up the idea of personally leading the army.
Seeing this, Xu Hao looked deeply at Qin Liyan, then turned around and looked at the people who were standing on both sides of the street.
"I know that many of you are resentful of me. You are resentful of why I killed the envoys of the five nations and caused the alliance army of the five nations to attack Great Yan.”
Surprisingly, Xu Hao didn't give a reason. Instead, he mentioned something else.
Qin Liyan was stunned for a moment, but he still stood where he was and looked at Xu Hao.
At this moment, after Xu Hao finished speaking, the crowd of commoners lowered their heads one after another, as if they were very guilty.
"Many of you might not know why I am doing this, but I will tell you now. In the Imperial Court, the envoys of the five kingdoms demanded that I abdicate and disband Great Yan's army!”
"If I had agreed to abdicate, and Great Yan's army had retired, what would have happened to this world? The alliance army of the five nations will still attack, but what will happen to you? Their descendants would be slaves, and their wives and daughters would be bullied by others!”
Xu Hao's voice wasn't loud and was even very calm.
However, when it fell into the ears of many commoners, it set off a storm. At this moment, everyone was in disbelief.
Immediately, they were ashamed and wished they could find a hole to hide in.
His Majesty was doing this for the world, for them! However, they had previously thought that His Majesty was too ambitious and that he was the real culprit who started the war.
Everyone knew that His Majesty was skilled in both martial arts and martial arts, and was unparalleled in the world. Even if he abdicated, he would definitely be a distinguished guest of another country.
As for them? Without His Majesty and Great Yan's army, they could only become slaves.
"Your Majesty, we have wronged you. Please kill us!”
For a moment, the commoners on the streets all knelt down, and their apologies resounded in every corner of Great Peace City.
Xu Hao smiled faintly. Then, he swept his gaze across everyone and said seriously,
"I hereby swear that from now on, my Great Yan will not marry or pay tribute. The emperor will guard the country gate and the king will die for the country!”
Boom!
The moment he finished speaking, everyone's heart trembled. They felt a surge of hot blood rush to their heads, and tears filled their eyes.
Qin Liyan was stunned for a moment. His eyes were red as he made way for her.
In the sky, the woman looked at the unparalleled figure riding a white horse. Her clear eyes were filled with various emotions.
There was shock, gratitude, appreciation, and a tenderness that had never appeared before.
This man was unparalleled!
