When Li Hu came out of the queue, he straightened his back and spoke, and soon he sighed longly: "It's just that now that the great merchants have been removed from heaven and earth, the luck of the emperor has collapsed with the former emperor, and there are no soldiers with luck.
The combat power will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Moreover, the death of the late emperor has seriously affected the morale of the army. I am afraid that morale will be low during the battle. Not to mention that the most elite soldiers have been transferred to the vicinity of the imperial capital, and the border gates are weak."
The more Li Hu talked about it, the more annoyed he became. The mighty businessmen's army was always invincible. When fighting, they would be so majestic that they could destroy everything.
I never expected that I would end up like this.
The other generals were also reluctant to hear this, but they didn't know how to save the situation.
To put it bluntly, war is all about morale. Now that the emperor has lost his life, almost no one in the world knows who the new emperor is and whether he is worth risking his life for.
When a powerful enemy attacks at this time, not to mention soldiers, even those generals who have experienced hundreds of battles may hesitate, wondering whether this battle is worth fighting for, and for whom.
So judging from the current situation, although the emperor has Mu Qianyu in charge, for the officials and border soldiers, it is not much different from a leaderless army.
"I understand, but the chance of winning is not good." Mu Qianyu rubbed the white jade pendant on his waist with one hand and asked, "What do you think General Li should do?"
"In my opinion, we can only hold on for the time being, consume the troops of the five countries, and fight a protracted war." Li Hu replied. He had been thinking about this answer for a long time, so he didn't need to think about it again when he said it.
"What about other lovers? Do they have different opinions?" she asked next.
Then several officials who were familiar with Mu Qianyu came forward to give Mu Qianyu face, but the answer was nothing more than to defend.
There is no better way besides this.
Mu Qianyu, however, was still shaking his head: "Defying not only consumes the opponent, but also ourselves. With one against five, we will be the last ones left, and I am afraid that the entire empire will be hollowed out."
Of course she was talking about resources.
Her denial was too direct, and a military general suddenly didn't like hearing it and couldn't help but said: "Does your Majesty have a clever plan?"
Although the voice was not serious, none of the people present could tell that it was an emotionally charged sentence. Even if it was disrespectful to His Majesty, it would not be serious even if he was beaten to death.
Everyone knew that all the officials were dissatisfied with this girl, but they didn't expect that someone would jump out in such a short period of time.
This is also a good time for everyone to see clearly how the emperor handles such incidents.
Mu Qianyu smiled when he heard this, looked at the general and asked, "Does this general think I have a good strategy to protect the world?"
The ball was kicked back again.
This military general is a straight man, and he was really confused when he was asked this question. Of course, he didn't think that this girl could do anything good, but wouldn't it be a bad idea to answer like this?
So he said after a while: "I... I think your Majesty must have a good plan."
"Oh?" Mu Qianyu's voice rose and he said in a relaxed tone: "When the general came up, he saw that I have a good plan. He is really smart as ice and snow, and he is like a dragon or a phoenix among men. I have a general like you, so why worry about being unavailable in the world?"
This compliment made the general blush a little. He had just spoken disrespectfully, but His Majesty praised him so generously, which instantly made him feel a little embarrassed.
He is a big man, but his belly is not as big as that of a woman. He is really embarrassed to show off to others.
Others also secretly praised the Queen for her good intentions. Of course, what they paid the most attention to was the good strategy she said to retreat from the enemy.
Li Hu was even more upright and immediately asked, "I wonder if your majesty has any good suggestions. Can you tell me about it?"
"What is said to be a good strategy is actually the stupidest one. As long as we keep the enemies of the five countries outside the border and prevent them from advancing, there is no need to fight hard or defend hard."
"In this way, I, the great merchant, can cultivate and recuperate. When we are ready to train as soldiers, are we still afraid that they will fail?" Mu Qianyu said eloquently.
After hearing these words, the ministers were even more confused. They originally thought there was a clever plan to stabilize the world, but after listening to it, they actually heard such ridiculous remarks.
It is of course good to keep the enemy outside the border, but for what purpose? Or should we use troops?
What do you mean you can recuperate and recuperate without war?
Are you sure this is not something a child would say?
Qin Chuan raised his brows when he heard this, as if he thought of something. He sighed inwardly, is everything really God's will?
Will they be able to escape the control and restraint of heaven and earth throughout their lives?
Li Hu has been dating Mu Qianyu for a while, and he knows that this is a person who looks careless but is actually very transparent and will definitely not talk nonsense.
So he asked: "Then what do you intend to do to stop the enemy?"
Baiguan also looked at Mu Qianyu after the questioning, waiting for her answer, hoping that this time it would no longer be outrageous.
"This is the good news you are waiting for me."
As he spoke, Mu Qianyu looked at Eunuch Wei beside him and said, "Uncle Wei, give me the map."
"Yes." Eunuch Wei handed over the Dashang territory to Mu Qianyu.
"My dear friends, follow me out of the palace for a visit." Mu Qianyu said, and the red figure disappeared from the place in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the temporary palace.
The officials followed him out with hesitation, and at this moment they were still wondering what the emperor was up to.
"Where is the Feng Shui master?" Mu Qianyu looked down.
An old man in black robes holding a compass stood out from the front of the queue and bowed slightly to Mu Qianyu: "I'm here."
"Project me the scene thousands of miles away from the border." Mu Qianyu stood in the air in red and ordered in a deep voice. The red dragon robe was blown by the breeze, and his aura was a little stronger than in the palace.
"Yes." The old man in black robe agreed.
Mu Qianyu felt the obedience of these people, but he still felt no respect. It could be said that the obedience three days ago was obeying Ying Yi's edict, and the obedience now was for the sake of Dashang's thousands of miles.
The empire of Dashang is not only an inheritance, but also their home. It is the home they have built with painstaking efforts and guarded for so long.
There are their relatives, lovers, and even people who have nothing to do with them but love them.
Now that the emperor is gone, they are still accused of guarding this place, guarding the territory here from any intrusion, and guarding the people here from the suffering of war.
The five countries have been jealous of the Great Shang for a long time. Once they capture the Great Shang, the people of the Great Shang, both public and private, will not be spared.
No one among the officials could stand by and ignore such a crisis.
So even if there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up. At least they will not give up on the new emperor until it is proven that Mu Qianyu has no ability to turn things around.
But if Mu Qianyu failed to do anything for this battle, even if Lord Shang ordered them to do so, they would not be able to obey. After all, no one wants to support an incompetent loser.
