Chapter 14 Daxia’s Dilemma, Planning for Military War
"Double maces roar into the sky!"
Qin Qiong did not hesitate.
The four-edged golden mace was thrown violently and turned into two golden dragons.
In just an instant, the two dragons suddenly grew to a height of one hundred feet.
Ang! Ang! Ang!
Breathing dragon chants, two dragons roared, one on the left and one on the right, opening their bloody mouths and tearing apart the demon snake's body.
Bang! Bang!
The crisp sound of broken bones sounded.
The demon snake's body was suddenly bitten into three pieces.
Roar!
Immediately afterwards.
The white tiger exerted force violently.
Between the frantic tearing of the claws and the breathing, the hundred-foot demon snake was torn into pieces.
clang!
Then continue.
The hundred-foot-long white tiger transformed into the body of a tiger-headed golden spear, which passed through the chest of the black-clothed holy envoy with a bang like an arrow from the string.
The two hundred-foot-long golden dragons also turned into the main body of the four-sided golden mace.
Carrying the sound of the howling wind, he whirred twice and exploded the head of the black-clothed holy envoy.
The bloody feast exploded in the void, and the headless body of the black-clothed holy envoy fell into a pool of blood without making a sound.
"Ah."
He smiled coldly.
Qin Qiong stood with his hands behind his back and headed straight to Dongwucheng.
...
Yudu, Daxia Palace, Jinluan Hall.
The King of Xia sits high on the dragon chair, wearing a yellow dragon robe with two dragons surrounding his chest, making him look particularly majestic and domineering.
Above the head, there are eight luminous pearls the size of fists on the dragon crown, showing luxury.
With cold and stern eyes, he glanced at the ministers of His Highness, and King Xia said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now that Xiangnan Road has fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, how do you think we, Daxia, should deal with it?"
Hear the words.
Most of His Highness's ministers shrank their heads and pretended to be ostriches.
A long time ago, some of them had realized that the White Lotus Sect was secretly planning the Shonan Road.
However, the King of Xia did not take it seriously at that time and said that the White Lotus Sect was not as serious as the disease of Xiande and was not a cause for concern.
As a result, the White Lotus Sect has continued to grow in recent years, until now.
In the Thirteenth Road of Daxia, the White Lotus Sect monopolizes the Xiangnan Road and gathers millions of followers, which has become a serious problem!
After thinking about this, all the ministers of His Highness were speechless for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to attack the White Lotus Sect's rebels."
After a long time, King Xia became impatient and wanted to get angry.
Your Highness, a general with a sinister face like an iron tower, took a heavy step forward and asked for orders.
"Okay, I'm very pleased that General Li Tie is willing to go on an expedition."
"General Li Tie, how many troops do you need?"
Li Tie, a famous warrior from the Great Xia Dynasty, has long been a strong man in the Death Mysterious Realm. He has extremely strong combat power and is a rare warrior.
When he asked for orders to go on an expedition, King Xia couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on his face.
"If your Majesty can give me an army of 500,000, I will be sure to encroach step by step and finish off the White Lotus Sect within a year."
"If your Majesty can give me a million-strong army, I will be sure to defeat the White Lotus Sect within three months."
Even though Li Tie doesn't look very smart, his words are quite impeccable.
"this..."
The knuckles of his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
King Xia fell into hesitation.
Now, the situation in Daxia is not as good as it seems on the surface.
As the king of Daxia, he knew very well that the troops and horses that could be used within Daxia were already stretched thin.
The Thirteen Da Xia Dao and the Northern Three Dao have to resist the Northern Desert Royal Court all year round, and the army must not move lightly.
Anyuan Hou is in charge of the two northwest roads, and he needs to be on guard against the Great Wilderness Dynasty at all times, and must not move arbitrarily.
The western border is on the verge of the Yan Dynasty and cannot be without troops for a day.
In the important land of Wangji, the royal family's elite and mighty military forces are overwhelming the world. They have the effect of calming the sea. They must not be moved unless it is a last resort.
Now it seems that there are only three areas in the south, one in the southeast, one in the east, and five areas that can be considered for the use of troops.
But the Shonan Road, one of the three roads in the south, has fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
The eastern one and the southeastern one are both threatened by the Xiongnu Nanting. Any movement may trigger a large-scale invasion by the Huns from the South. Therefore, these two routes cannot be moved.
Do the math and do the math.
King Xia thought about it for a while.
In other words, only the remaining two of the three roads in the south, the Xiangjiang Road and the Xiangshui Road, may be able to mobilize troops.
No, to be precise, troops must be mobilized from these two channels!
"Li Tie, I can only give you 400,000 troops."
"I will give an order to have Zhang Yongnian, the general manager of the march of the Xiangjiang River Road, and He Anguo, the general manager of the march of the Xiangshui River Road, each lead an army of 200,000 to serve under your command."
"At the same time, I want you to deal with the White Lotus Sect within three months. Can you do it?"
After saying that, he took a deep look at Li Tie.
This is already the maximum amount of troops that King Xia can mobilize, and there is no room for ambiguity.
He needed Li Tie to issue a military order for him, so that he could safely hand over 400,000 troops to Li Tie to suppress the rebellion.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Li Tie was silent.
The White Lotus Sect has millions of followers.
Even without systematic training, they may not be as good as the official army when fighting with other troops.
However, relying on the numerical advantage, if he only has an army of 400,000, he will still be dwarfed and unable to perform effectively when he leads the army into battle.
You must know that he had concluded after careful calculation that even if he was given an army of 500,000, he would still need a year of step-by-step planning to destroy the White Lotus Sect.
Four hundred thousand troops, three months?
Ask yourself, he can't do it.
"Your Majesty, can you send me another 100,000 mighty tiger troops from Wangji?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Tie tried to fight for it.
The Weihu Army is the elite in the world.
If he could get a hundred thousand mighty tiger troops, he felt that it would be possible to destroy the White Lotus Sect in three months.
"Li Tie, you should know the role of the Weihu Army. The Weihu Army must not be moved!"
Shaking his head, King Xia looked very determined.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen does have an idea, maybe you can give it a try."
King Xia just finished speaking.
Your Highness, a middle-aged scribe, said with a sly smile on his face.
"Oh? Please tell me more specifically, Aiqing."
Xu Changwen, a famous counselor in Da Xia, was quite a bit of a genius on weekdays. Hearing this, the Xia King became a little more interested.
"Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that not all of Xiangnan Road is under the control of the White Lotus Sect, but Langya County is in the hands of Wu Zhan."
"Wei Chen thinks that your Majesty may take a gentle approach and give Wu Zhan an imperial edict."
"Tell Wu Zhan that as long as he is willing to contain the White Lotus Sect from within Xiangnan Road and cooperate with General Li Tie to complete the great cause of annihilating the White Lotus Sect, you will let him inherit the position of Zhan Tianhou."
Xu Changwen's words awakened the dreamer.
Previously, the White Lotus Sect was really too powerful.
So much so that even King Dexia forgot about Langya County and the existence of martial arts.
"Xu Aiqing's plan is very clever!"
"Qin Hui, you immediately send someone to pass on the message and tell Wu Zhan that as long as he can cooperate with Li Tie to destroy the White Lotus Sect, I will forget about it and officially canonize him as the Marquis of War."
The king of Xia was overjoyed and agreed.
"promise."
"Your Majesty, what if Na Wu Zhan doesn't accept the order?"
Next to King Xia, a feminine man bowed slowly, with a sinister look deep in his pupils that was extremely penetrating.
