All the officials were dumbfounded!
At this time, they actually sent troops to attack the Mo Kingdom?
Although the Mo Country had lost 200,000 soldiers, they still had 400,000 soldiers. In terms of total, they were more than their Xia Country!
If you use 200,000 soldiers to go against 400,000 soldiers, isn't that like throwing an egg at a rock?
Moreover, the whole country is mourning and in pain. If you provoke them, aren't you looking for a beating?
If they don't vent on you, who else can they vent on?
Was this a question that the human brain could think of?
"Your Majesty, you must not!" The officials said in fear.
"Why not?" Lin Beifan frowned.”
An old official stood up." Your Majesty, although the Desert Kingdom has lost 200,000 soldiers, they are still strong. If we provoke them, it will be a weak attack on a strong force. It is very unwise. Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
Lin Beifan smiled." Although the enemy is strong and we are weak, the Mo Country's national defense is weak now. The middle gate is wide open. This is the time for our army to take advantage of the weakness!" If we don't send troops now, when will we?"
"Your Majesty, the Mo Kingdom has just lost 200,000 soldiers. It's time for the entire country to mourn! If we send out our troops now, it will be an unjust war and we will be weakened before the battle! They will definitely turn their grief and indignation into strength, and their morale will be greatly boosted. Our chances of defeating the Desert Kingdom are slim, so I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!”
"What unjust war?" Lin Beifan laughed disdainfully. The 200,000 men of the Mo Kingdom were buried in the iron mines of the Flower State. It was clearly the wrath of heaven. Even the heavens could not tolerate them! Therefore, we are the army of justice! We will rise up to replace Tian Fa. We will win this battle!”
"Your Majesty, our country is weak. If we start a war rashly, regardless of the outcome, we will definitely suffer heavy losses! Once the country's strength waned, it would be too late to regret if other countries took advantage of it! Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
Lin Beifan said loudly,"It is precisely because the country is weak that I want to fight!" Wouldn't the country be stronger if they conquered the territory of the Desert Country? Why can't you understand such a simple principle?”
"Your Majesty…"
……
All the officials tried to persuade him.
Lin Beifan waved his hand and said angrily,""There's no need to say anything else. I've made up my mind! If any of you say one more word, I will dismiss you!”
All the officials shut their mouths. It was not worth it to lose their official positions for a fatuous ruler.
However, one person stood up firmly.
That person was the current Great General, Chai Yulang.
He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he said in a sonorous and powerful voice,"Your Majesty, this battle cannot be started lightly! Firstly, although the Mo Country had lost 200,000 soldiers, they were still weaker than the enemy. If they used troops now, it would be very disadvantageous to our country!”
"Secondly, the entire Mo Country is filled with grief and indignation. If we send troops now, we will definitely become the other party's vent! The enemy's morale was strong, while our side's morale was weak. This battle was extremely disadvantageous!”
"Thirdly, our country's national strength is weak and can't withstand the torment! Regardless of the outcome of the battle, they would definitely suffer heavy losses!”
"Therefore, for the sake of the country and the people, please retract your order!”
Lin Beifan was furious. All of you are against it. Even the Great General, whom I trust the most, is against it! In that case, my good uncle, you don't have to be a general anymore. Go home and rest!”
Great General Chai Yulang's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief."Your Majesty, you…"
The other civil and military officials were also shocked. Their Emperor had actually dismissed the Great General?
One had to know that General Chai Yulang was one of the two pillars of Xia Country. He was known as the Twin Heroes of Xia Country along with Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang!
He had always led the entire army, conscientiously and conscientiously, and was loyal to his duty. He was a rare loyal general!
You can safely ascend to the throne without his help!
In the end, you actually spared him without hesitation?
Lin Beifan stretched out his hand and said expressionlessly,""Uncle Chai, you are no longer the Great General. Quickly hand over the Commander's Seal, don't make things difficult for Zhen!”
Your Majesty, do you really want to dismiss me from my official position?”The general said in shock.
"Do you think I would joke?”Lin Beifan smiled coldly.
The great general closed his eyes in disappointment. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with blood and tears. He took out the commander's seal with a trembling hand and cupped his hands."If the ruler wants me to die, I have no choice but to die! Since Your Majesty wants to take back the commander's seal, I will naturally obey! However, I still have to say one more thing. This battle cannot be started lightly, or there will be the danger of national subjugation. Your Majesty, please think twice!”
"Uncle, you're no longer the Great General. You don't have to worry about it. Go back and enjoy your life!”
Lin Beifan held the commander's seal in his hand and looked at all the civil and military officials. He smiled and said,""We have to fight this battle. If any of you have the ability and confidence to help me fight this battle, feel free to volunteer!”
The officials looked at each other, not daring to step forward.
After all, the chances of winning this battle were slim. If they lost, not only would they be defeated, but their lives would also be in danger.
They were all old thieves of the imperial court and would not joke around with their lives.
Then, at this moment, a young general with a fat waist, a fat head, and big ears stood up and said excitedly,"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army and expand the territory for Your Majesty!”
"It's rare for a warrior to step forward!”Lin Beifan looked at him with interest.""Zhen admires you very much. What is your name?”
"Your Majesty, I…An Lushan!”
