Chapter 1842
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is still conservative."
"When we send troops to the Western Region, the battle line is too long, and there is a shortage of water in the Western Region. We need to continuously transport water from the Duhu Mansion. For this alone, we will need at least tens of thousands of people."
Hearing this, Zhou Jian's brows almost twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan". He read all the files and found that the war expenditures, manpower and material resources exceeded his expectations.
If it exceeds the estimate, it will be difficult to handle, because attacking the Western Region will definitely be more difficult than the war considered by the Ministry of War. He deeply understands that the most terrifying thing in the Western Region is definitely not the small political power and the army in various places, but the group of demagogic loudspeakers!
For a time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into a long silence.
At this time, Wang Yu handed over his hand and said with murderous intent: "Your Majesty, although it costs a lot, it will be worth it as long as we win the war."
"The worst we can do is reduce the army. We will use our elite troops as quickly as possible to attack Huanglong and reach Dunhuang. We will use blitzkrieg to stop the losses!"
Li Kui and Zhang Liao immediately stood up and supported: "Your Majesty, I humbly support this proposal!"
"It's not about having too many soldiers, it's about being good. As long as we end the war with overwhelming force, we won't be afraid of excessive losses!"
"That's right, that's right!!"
In the blink of an eye, the entire group of generals supported the war and swept across the Western Regions.
At the same time, not surprisingly, a line of civil servants also jumped out: "Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"
"It's just the best idea to end the war in a devastating way, but what if we are dragged into the quagmire of war? The Western Region is not like the Central Plains of the Zhou Dynasty, and we can support you at any time!" Horn said seriously.
"Yes, and Dazhou has just had enough food, and is far from strong. It would be too hasty to start a war now!"
"Master Lin, this is wrong. If we don't fight, how will we get back the 200,000 baggage? Will our people in the Central Plains die in vain at the hands of those trumpets? When did I, the Great Zhou Tianqi, eat this?
Such grievance!"
"No, General Zhang, war cannot be based on impulse, everything must be based on the overall situation!"
"What's the overall situation, you say?!"
"..."
After a while, Taihe Palace and Zhou Jian had exactly what they suspected, and they started to quarrel, each insisting on their own opinions and refusing to give in.
Of course, they just have different positions and different views, and it is not a civil or military confrontation.
On one side were the generals with great military exploits, and on the other side were the cabinet, with red faces and thick necks. The scene was so earth-shattering that many of the Imperial Guards and Conditions on duty did not even dare to breathe!
Zhou Jian sat on the dragon chair and remained silent, but his eyes kept flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, he put down the file and tapped the Long Case with his hand. The sound was not loud, but it marked his absolute authority!
Below, hundreds of civil and military ministers were silent for a moment, waiting with their hands folded.
I saw Zhou Jian standing up, with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the entire splendid Palace of Supreme Harmony, and blurted out: "The expedition to the Western Regions cannot end with a blitzkrieg. There is a high chance that it will be dragged into the quagmire of war. It will be even more difficult to recapture the baggage."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!
Many people showed a look of astonishment, thinking that they had heard wrongly, especially people like Wang Yu. They even felt that they were sure of it. With His Majesty's temper, how could he give up without smashing the Western Region to pieces?
But how come your majesty...
Qin Zhen also looked confused.
