Chapter 2111: Debate before the Emperor
"Jiuyou fought very well and conquered all the holy lands of Ya Nation." He fought too well. Seeing this result, everyone's heart skipped a beat, not with joy but with shock.
The Nine Nether Emperor dared to invade Ya Country first, so he must have something to rely on. But the Mou people originally thought that even if Cang Yan sent out all his elite troops and made proper tactical arrangements, he would still be able to fight back and forth with Ya Country and remain in a stalemate for a long time.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Ya country's army is not bad. After all, Cangyan has only been established for a short time, and its army has only been established for a short time, so it is impossible for it to have too strong a military force.
The direction of the war situation shocked Mou Guo.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Dragon God Army also attracted the attention of the Mou State.
There are many criteria for judging a country's comprehensive national strength, but it will ultimately be reflected in its external military strength. After this battle, the State of Mou must re-evaluate Cang Yan and correct the misunderstanding.
Qian Bingmao, the Left Supervisor of the Censorate, immediately said, "I heard that there is a big gap between the Black Armor Army and the Dragon God Army around the Nine Nether Emperor. The true strength of the Dragon God Army is far from comparable to the Ya Army! It is for this reason that when the Nine Nether Emperor was still pretending to be the Dragon God, he had to lead the troops in battle to boost morale. Now that he has become the King of Cangyan, he still wants to lead the army in person and put himself in danger. This is not advisable!"
What he meant was that the Dragon God Army was not that powerful, and that they had to be personally commanded and supported by Emperor Jiuyou to achieve their current success.
"If we win, we win." You Huan, a palace official from the Futai Pavilion, said, "If we lose, we can find a hundred excuses, but if we win, we don't need any. It was the Cangyan Kingdom that invaded the Ya Kingdom and occupied the holy land, not Bailie."
No matter how many excuses Bailie finds, he cannot take over the holy land of Ya Country. This is the fact.
These two seem to be at odds recently. Emperor Mou was still watching from above, and General Assistant Guo Shaoping quickly pulled the rhythm back: "The holy land of Yaguo has been captured, and both sides continue to send troops to the battlefield. Yaguo has even urgently transferred troops from the western front, so the western border is inevitably empty."
Baiqiuyuan is not far from the capital of Ya State. If it is captured, the capital will be in danger.
This matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, the country will be destroyed.
Ya State could not bear this and frantically sent more troops to the Holy Land to relieve the siege of the capital. However, its military development was restricted by population, and it had always valued quality over quantity. If it wanted to increase its troops in a short period of time, it could only tear down the west wall to repair the east wall.
Are there risks? Of course, but there is no way.
Tang Heyuan, a scholar from the Futai Pavilion, immediately offered a suggestion: "Why not take this opportunity to teach Yaguo a lesson?"
In the past, the eastern part of Ya State was a golden plain covered with loose sand. How could Mou State have the opportunity to join forces with the countries to its east and give Ya State a beating?
You Huan objected: "Our war with Beijia is already tense, and withdrawing troops from Bailie is also to avoid fighting on two fronts. If we force our troops to attack Yaguo again now, I am afraid that we will not be able to sustain the force and the impact will not be good."
Previously, the Mou State had to withdraw its troops from Bailie at the cost of its reputation and not confront the Ya State head-on. It could also be said that it was concentrating its forces and focusing all its efforts on fighting Bega.
But now they are taking the initiative to attack the State of Ya, aren't they just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to bite off a piece of fat meat?
The surrounding countries are not fools. Can't they see the greed of Mou State?
"There is no fixed situation in war, so we must seize the opportunity and act accordingly." General Fu Wuheng stepped forward, "The Ya Kingdom always claims to be the third strongest in the world after Beijia and Damu. This time we must not only suppress its arrogance, but also cripple it in one fell swoop, so that it will never dare to serve Beijia again."
Otherwise, every time Mou State fought with Beiga, Ya State would be there behind the scenes, which was really uncomfortable.
Qi Chuanqing, the palace officer who filled in the position of Futai Pavilion, said: "The battles between Bailie and Ya Kingdom both took place around Damu. Cangyan Kingdom wanted to send a large number of troops, but did not inform us in advance, and even deliberately concealed it. It is very likely that Jiuyou has other calculations. I think Damu should not get involved before the situation is clear."
You Huan continued his words, "Looking at the past battle records of the Jiuyou Emperor, his fighting style is flexible and changeable, and he is good at taking advantage of troubled waters and removing firewood from under the cauldron. If we are in the middle of a fierce battle with the Ya Kingdom and Cang Yan withdraws, then it will be difficult for Da Mou to deal with it."
He paused and continued, "Emperor Jiuyou supported Bailie without informing our country in advance. Regardless of the reason, this was very abrupt and rude, which shows that Cangyan lacks respect for our country. It is better to be cautious when dealing with such a country."
Cangyan State sent troops to Bailie for no reason, but Mou State would not be grateful, but would only be vigilant. If the Great Emperor Jiuyou had good intentions, why didn't he send a message to Mou State before doing this good deed?
Guo Shaoping asked him, "Master You, do you think it is inappropriate for us to send troops?"
"Why not send a message to Jiuyou and invite him to join forces to attack Ya Country, and then see what he responds." You Huan replied, "With this invitation, Jiuyou will have to think twice before trying anything else."
Cangyan State certainly does not want to face the consequences of Mou State's breach of contract.
"Jiuyou is a man known for his cunning schemes," Tang Heyuan protested. "Lord Qi and Lord You both mentioned that he had other plans for sending troops to Bailie without any reason. How can we honestly explain our war intentions to such a sinister person? As the saying goes, all is fair in war. If we notify him first, he might drag his feet and refuse to respond, while using our plan to send troops to threaten Yaguo to make concessions! In the end, only Cangyan will get the upper hand."
Fu Wuheng also said angrily: "What a joke! Why do we need to inform it before we send out troops? Why didn't it consult with us before sending out its troops?"
The ministers looked at each other and felt that these words hit the nail on the head.
Qian Bingmao also spoke up: "It will take a lot of time to communicate with Cang Yan. Besides, once we get in touch, we will have to negotiate and agree on post-war matters. Who knows how Cang Yan will bargain. The so-called Jiuyou Emperor used to be a businessman, and he is very good at calculating profits!"
Once Mou State informed Cang Yan in advance before sending troops, shouldn't the two sides discuss who will contribute more and who will contribute less, how the armies will cooperate, how the spoils will be distributed, and how the newly conquered territory will be divided?
How much trouble would that bring? Once the word "distribution" is mentioned, there will be endless wrangling.
If Mou State gets too much, will Cang Yan be happy?
So it’s better to just work on it. You fight yours and I fight mine, and in the end we divide the territory according to our fists. Whoever conquers the territory gets it.
Both sides have stated their reasons, and both are reasonable. Now it is the turn of the superior to weigh the pros and cons.
Therefore, all the ministers turned their attention to Emperor Mou and the Prime Minister.
Emperor Mou did not comment, his eyes slightly lowered as if he was in meditation.
Guo Shaoping knew that if the emperor did not express his opinion, the chief minister would have to make the decision.
It's such a big thing, if you do it well, it's fine; if you don't do it well, you have to take the blame yourself.
Guo Shaoping pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind:
“If the decisive battle between the Dragon God Army of Emperor Jiuyou and the Ya Army in the Holy Land begins again, our army will march eastward to the battlefield!”
