Chapter 38: Desire to attack Chu
"Foreign Minister Bu, let's be more practical." Mu Tianhao said calmly, while sighing deeply in his heart.
He has said everything that needs to be said. He has done everything that can be done.
Now that Bu Chuanqing has stood up and expressed his stance, with Tianying Dynasty's current status among the Seven Kingdoms, it seems that this war with Da Chu is inevitable.
What Mu Tianhao has to consider now is how to reduce the losses to Tianlang Dynasty.
"Since King Mu Tianhao said this, I will say something practical." After hearing Mu Tianhao's salty words, Bu Chuanqing's face froze slightly, and then he put on a smile again.
"Everyone, I think that this battle of Northern Qi can no longer be fought. I wonder if you agree?" Bu Chuanqing said.
As soon as Bu Chuanqing said this, the faces of everyone in the tent immediately became a little ugly.
In the Battle of Northern Qi, the Seven Kingdoms gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. They thought they could take down Northern Qi in one fell swoop like other battles fought in recent years, and then sit on the ground and divide the spoils. Unexpectedly, Northern Qi was so tenacious.
.After a full year of fighting, Northern Qi still showed no signs of decline. On the contrary, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance's main force in this battle, Jinwu, was almost defeated.
Today's discussion was said to be held by the seven countries, but only six countries were present. The Golden Crow was directly ignored.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Bu Chuanqing continued: "Everyone, this battle took a year and cost countless people. If it returns without success, I would like to ask, how do you plan to explain it to your king and the people?"
As soon as Bu Chuanqing said these words, the faces of everyone in the tent became even more ugly.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance has been fighting for so many years. To put it bluntly, it is to gain benefits. If the battle is won and benefits are gained, it is easy to say anything. But if the battle is lost, whether it is the person who led the troops or the people who participated in the decision-making,
Most of them cannot escape the fate of being settled by their queen.
Take the great war 20 years ago as an example. The Alliance of Seven Nations suffered a big loss outside Yanmen Pass. Except for Mu Tianhao, the commanders of the armies of all the countries at that time, all the others fell.
Already?
"So, I think, privately and for the sake of your future, we need a big victory." Bu Chuanqing simply made his words clear.
Seeing some people in the tent nodding, Bu Chuanqing said again: "My lord, our Seven Kingdoms Alliance is here to protect..."
Halfway through the words, seeing Mu Tianhao's expression getting colder, Bu Chuanqing changed his tone and said: "Everyone, the Chu State has had two wars with our Seven Kingdoms Alliance. It can be said that they have deep hatred. Now that the Chu State is getting stronger, if at this time
If we don't fight, it will only be more difficult to capture it in the future. If it is really allowed to become completely powerful, do you think Chu will let go of its hatred of the past?"
"I completely agree with Prime Minister Bu. Once the Chu State becomes stronger, it will definitely take revenge. Otherwise, the Emperor of Chu will not ask for his commander-in-chief at this time." Wang Zhijie continued.
Hearing this, Mu Tianhao felt a sudden surge of anger in his heart. Your fucking army is about to invade the country. Are the kings and ministers of Chu just waiting for you to attack?
Mu Tianhao almost couldn't help but sneer at him, but he secretly took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "It's better not to use yourself to save others."
When Bu Chuanqing heard this, his face froze slightly, and he secretly hated it, but he squeezed out a smile, looked at Mu Tianhao, and said: "I heard that the South Courtyard under the jurisdiction of King Mu Tianhao has many practices similar to those of Chu
The country's Ningyuan is quite similar."
"Shouldn't everything that benefits the country and the people be learned?" Mu Tianhao said calmly.
"What King Mu Tian said is absolutely true. As officials for the rest of our lives, we should serve the country and the people. King Mu Tian cares about the people of the country, which is Tianlang's luck. In the past few years, I have heard about Mu Tian Wang in Tianying.
He has a good reputation, but he has more than the Wolf Lord in your dynasty!" Bu Chuanqing praised.
"Foreign Minister Bu, what do you mean by this?" Mu Tianhao stared at Bu Chuanqing and asked in a deep voice.
On the throne of the king's tent, the wolf master Mu Fanjie raised his eyebrows slightly.
Everyone in the tent looked at the two men first, and then at Mu Fanjie, with different expressions on their faces.
Bu Chuanqing laughed and said with a smile: "I am just expressing my feelings. I also ask King Mu Tian not to think too much."
Mu Tianhao's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak again, Mu Fanjie raised his hand and said, "Uncle Emperor, let Foreign Minister Bu finish his sentence."
Bu Chuan Qingchao Mu Fan Jie cupped his hands and continued: "Everyone, although the Chu State looks very powerful now, it has never fought a major battle in the past twenty years. The vast majority of the Chu State's army can now
He said that he has never been on the battlefield, let alone experienced real fighting.
On the other hand, our Seven Kingdoms Alliance has fought many battles in recent years in order to maintain... these years, and it is a real army that can fight in a hundred battles. Everyone here is a person who knows how to fight. You should know that with our Seven Kingdoms in a hundred battles,
With our own divisions and an absolutely superior force, we have a great chance of winning this battle!"
Everyone in the tent nodded after hearing this. Especially those who were in charge of the troops, their faces showed excitement.
"Foreign Minister Bu, please don't forget that the war in Northern Qi is still there." Mu Tianhao poured cold water on his head again.
This time, not only Bu Chuanqing, but also the faces of everyone else in the tent froze.
Yes, isn’t the war in Northern Qi still very much alive?
In the Battle of Northern Qi, didn't the Seven Kingdoms also use a hundred-battle division plus an absolutely superior force?
But hasn’t this battle still been going on for a year without a winner?
"Cough, cough, King Mutian, this Northern Qi is still different from Chu." Bu Chuanqing coughed a few times, then laughed dryly.
"Does Foreign Minister Bu want to say that the Northern Qi army is more powerful than the Chu army?" Mu Tianhao sneered.
"King Mu Tian, not only that, the combat power of your dynasty's army is definitely not comparable to that of the Golden Crow. One is strong and the other is weak. The difference is obvious." Bu Chuan Qingdao.
"Listen to what Foreign Minister Bu means, if we attack Chu, we, the Tianlang officers and soldiers, will be the main force?" Mu Tianhao's voice became colder.
"King Mu Tian, isn't it always the case when our Seven-Nation Alliance mobilizes troops?" Before Bu Chuanqing could answer, An Peisong rushed to say: "Don't we always focus on who is closest to the battlefield and who sends the most troops? After the war, the spoils...
....No, the dividend after the war... It's not also, I mean, the gains after the war are not about who sends the most troops and effort, and who gets the most?"
When everyone in the tent heard this, they burst into laughter again, and at the same time they all secretly cursed this vulgar guy in their hearts.
Damn it, this bastard told the truth!
Mu Tianhao glanced at An Peisong coldly, then looked at Bu Chuanqing, and said coldly: "If we attack Chu, how many troops do you Tianying plan to send?"
"King Mu Tian, if we attack Chu, I, Tianying, can send 50,000 troops." Next to Bu Chuanqing, another old man in rich clothes said.
This old man is the commander-in-chief of Tianying's army, and his name is Pu Yi. His official name in Tianying is different from the military commanders of the other six countries among the seven countries. His official name is Chief of Defense.
"Fifty thousand? What a big deal from Pu Fang!" Mu Tianhao sneered.
"King Mu Tian also knows that our Tianying is thousands of miles away from the Chu Kingdom, so it is very inconvenient to dispatch troops. Fifty thousand is the largest force we can assemble urgently." Pu Yi said with a smile.
"Then wait until your Tianying troops arrive." Mu Tianhao said coldly.
Pu Yi's face froze, but Bu Chuanqing had already answered: "King Mu Tian, as compensation, I, Tianying, are willing to fully guarantee the supply of ordnance for this attack on Chu."
"Does Foreign Minister Bu mean that if you, the Sky Eagle, send out weapons, we, the Sirius, will lose lives?" Mu Tianhao said.
"King Mutian, since it's a war, how can we not kill people?" Pu Yi frowned.
"Chief Pu, have you ever thought about how many deaths our officers, soldiers, civilians, and civilians from Tianlang will suffer if we fail to win this battle or even be counterattacked?" Mu Tianhao said in a deep voice.
"Wang Mutian is joking. Our seven-nation coalition forces are attacking with millions of warriors. How can Chu have any chance of winning? How can there be any talk of counterattack? Why should King Mutian have the ambition of others and declare defeat before starting a war?"
Pu Yi said with a smile.
"Chief Pu, you are also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. On the battlefield, don't think about victory, think about defeat first, then you can be invincible. You don't understand this truth? A million-strong division? You Tianying only
If you send 50,000 troops, where will the millions of troops come from?" Mu Tianhao finally couldn't help but sarcastically asked.
"King Mu Tian, Chief Pu, our Dakou country is willing to send 200,000 troops for this battle!" Before Pu Yi could answer, An Peisong rushed to say.
"Good! General An is really heroic!" Pu Yi praised, looked at the commanders of other countries, and asked: "Where are you guys?"
"We, the Giant Elephant Kingdom, have sent 150,000 troops!" As soon as he mentioned the attack on Chu, Bu Ze immediately felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, and even the pain in his lower body seemed to have eased a lot.
A hundred years ago, the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms invaded Chu, and Bu Ze's great-grandfather was one of the generals. In that battle, Bu Ze's great-grandfather looted a lot, and the Bu family established their aristocratic status in the Giant Elephant Kingdom. Bu Ze's great-grandfather was one of the generals.
In his hands, he still treasures some treasures that his great-grandfather plundered from Da Chu. Bu Ze has already coveted Da Chu.
After Bu Ze finished speaking, the military commanders of the other two countries in the tent also reported their numbers, with a total of 200,000 troops reported.
At this point, except for the Sirius Dynasty, the other five countries present have assembled 600,000 troops.
"King Mu Tian, there are currently 600,000 troops. Your dynasty is closest to Chu State, so if you send out 400,000 troops, there should be no problem, right?" Pu Yi said with a smile.
An army of 600,000 was gathered together, and it was superfluous to say anything else. Mu Tianhao felt a sense of sadness in his heart for no reason. He ignored Pu Yi's words, but looked at Mu Fanjie and said, "Let Lord Wolf make a decision."
Mu Fanjie pondered for a moment and then said: "Uncle Emperor, this time I attack Chu, I am afraid that I will need all the troops of the Southern Courtyard that are needed by the Emperor Uncle."
Mu Tianhao's heart became increasingly sad, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He said to Mu Fanjie, "Everyone in the South Courtyard is at his mercy."
An imperceptible light flashed in Mu Fanjie's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Boxi again and said: "King Xiao Tian, the road to Beiyuan is far away, so it is inconvenient to dispatch troops and generals. After the coalition forces withdraw from the battlefield of Northern Qi, they still need to be prepared for Northern Qi's counterattack. This
The heavy burden has to fall on the East Court, and it is inconvenient for the East Court to send troops. For this attack on Chu, the West Court will send 100,000 troops, and gather a million troops."
