The Emperor is Above

Chapter 168 I will slap anyone who dares to oppose me
Qing Yi's expression was full of confidence.

At this moment, the souls of Taigong Wang, Sun Wu, Yue Wumu and Ma Ziren were possessed.

He waved his hand like a great man, and said in a very contagious tone: "Why have the various tribes of the Daze people not been wiped out for hundreds of years? It's not because of their strong strength, but because of the natural barrier of the Jiming Daze.

Over the past hundred years, the State of Xing has sent heavy troops to suppress the barbarians in the Great Marsh several times, but they have fallen into their guerrilla tactics. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue, and we have never been able to achieve our goal. "

Old Man Shi nodded repeatedly in agreement and said, "My boy, your evaluation of the people of Daze is very appropriate. The many times that heavy troops have been sent to suppress them over the past hundred years have indeed been extremely helpless and headache for this.

Eight years ago, after the Right Division was defeated by the Black Wind Tribe, the barbarians in the Great Lakes took the opportunity to rampantly plunder the capital area, causing tens of thousands of casualties among the people.

That year, the Marquis of Xing was furious and mobilized the Left Division, the Central Division, and the City Guard to jointly attack and suppress the various barbarians in Jiming Lake. Ran You participated in that battle.

The wild people in the big marsh gather in crowds when there is a war and scatter like birds when there is a war. They come and go at random, with no fixed place to stay and no fixed whereabouts. It is difficult for the army to besiege and annihilate them, but they are always facing harassment from them.

Even if the people of Daze were afraid to attack due to the powerful army, they would still attack the army's rear supply route with all their strength, which ultimately led to the failure of this heavy attack like the previous ones. "

"Yes, as the saying goes, this time is different from that time. In the past, in order to protect themselves, the people of Daze had to rely on Jiming Daze to deal with the Xing Kingdom's army."

Qing Yi nodded to Old Man Shi and continued aloud, "The situation this time is completely different from the previous times when Xing State sent heavy troops to suppress the enemy.

Two months ago, the Cat Demon Cult stole tens of thousands of weapons and armors from the nobles in the capital and provided them to the various tribes of the Ozeno people. In addition, the Black Wind Tribe has continued to provide strong support to the Ozeno people for many years.

The various tribes of barbarians obtained so many weapons and armors but suppressed their greed and did not take any action for a long time. What they wanted was nothing more than the generous money and food during the autumn harvest.

The various tribes of the wild people in the Great Lake formed an alliance, intending to work together to plunder the capital area. With so many weapons and armor, it seemed that Xing State was about to face a disaster, but it was also the best time to completely resolve the disaster of the wild people in the Great Lake.

The barbarians have no natural defenses to rely on this time. If they want to attack the pavilion where tens of thousands of people are stationed, and have to face attacks from the middle division, the black armored cavalry, and the flying eagle guards, isn't that courting death?"

"That's great, O-boy!"

When Mr. Shi heard this, his face was already red, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I originally thought this was a bad thing, but after you said this, it actually feels like a good thing.

The capital area is backed by mountains and forests in the west and faces the Jiming Lake in the east. It covers an area of ​​a thousand miles in radius, has flat terrain and numerous rivers, and is a rare fertile land for the State of Xing.

If we can completely solve the problem of the wild people in the Great Marsh, and add the spring farming tools and harvesters you invented, we can become a land of abundance within a few years, and the people of Xing will no longer have to worry about going hungry. "

"Hey, Mr. Shi, don't be so happy so soon, I haven't finished what I want to say yet!"

Qing Yi hurriedly stopped the dark-skinned old man who was in a hurry to see Xing Hou, and added very seriously, "Ancient sages said: Those who do not plan for eternity are not qualified to plan for the moment, and those who do not plan for the world are not qualified to plan for a corner.

My analysis of the current situation just now was only directed at the people in the wilds of Jiming Lake. As the saying goes, we must prepare for defeat before we win, and we must be careful not to let a single move affect the entire body.

The Black Wind Tribe has been supporting the Golden Rooster Tribe of Jiming Daze since five years ago, and the Cat Ghost Cult has gathered many priests to spread their faith in the capital area.

How could they just sit back and watch the people of Daze die after spending such a huge price? The people of Daze looting the capital would only be part of their huge conspiracy.

If the various tribes of the Daze people attack the capital with all their might, the Black Wind tribe attacks in the southeast, the Ghost Witch tribe causes chaos in the northeast, the Xianyu tribe invades the northern border, and the cat ghosts and gods attack various cities, I wonder if Xing Hou will be able to respond calmly at that time?" "Hiss——"

Even though Old Man Shi was a first-class grandmaster, when he heard Qing Yi's hypothetical scenario, he still couldn't help feeling a strong sense of powerlessness and frustration.

He frowned and thought deeply for a long time, then shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Human power is limited, and the evolution of such a complex situation is not my forte.

Although Xing State has two first-rank grandmasters, me and Qianye Weng, there is also the great national master Xianyu in the north and the great priest of the Black Wind Tribe in the southeast, both of whom are first-rank grandmasters.

As for the cat ghost god, it is even more bizarre and no one knows the extent of its strength, but I have heard that it has twelve divine servants under its command, all of whom possess strength that is no less powerful than that of a second-grade exotic beast.

The Ghost Witch Department has four senior witches, all of whom can summon the Dharma body of the Ghost King through blood sacrifice. Their realm is at least not lower than the second rank. If the real body were to come, only a first rank grandmaster could resist it.

The four departments are working together to plot against the State of Xing. I am afraid that the tragic scene of the destruction of the state in the previous two times will happen again. Do you have any solution, Mr. Yi?"

"What can I do? It's not my place to meddle in other people's business!"

Qing Yi couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "Old Man Shi, don't blame me for being rude. Besides, etiquette says: When the princes have their own countries, the prime ministers are in charge of the government.

Since the monarch and the ministers are responsible for protecting the country and governing the country, they do not think about the internal and external troubles that are about to destroy the country, but only care about fighting for power and harming others. It is true that meat-eaters are vulgar.

What's more, the etiquette system also states: When the country is governed by the right way, the ministers' hearts are only for the public; when the country is governed by the wrong way, the ministers flee to other countries. I'm not bragging to you, old man. Even if I fled to another country after the destruction of the State of Xing, I could still be conferred the title of a noble official again within a year.

The State of Xing is now facing internal and external troubles. Only if the monarch and the ministers work together and respond with the strength of the whole country can they overcome this difficulty.

With my humble title of sergeant, even if I devote myself to the cause till my death, how can I save the State of Xing from disaster?"

"Boy Yi, your identity is so mysterious that people don't know whether it is true or not. I don't understand the strange locust trees, cats, and roosters in your house.

But I know that you are capable and can be called a peerless national hero. Just based on the spring plowing set and this horse-drawn harvester that you presented, it is not an exaggeration to be awarded the title of noble doctor, not to mention that you yourself have made great military achievements.

In order to balance the emotions of the ministers, Lord Xing chose to let you suffer. This was his fault, and I, an old man, apologize to you on his behalf."

When Old Man Shi said this, he bowed to Qing Yi with a solemn expression, and then asked sincerely, "You have a broad vision, a strategic mind, and a lot of wisdom. Please think about whether there is a good way to deal with this disaster.

My request is not for the Lord of Xing, the ministers, or myself, but for the eight million people of Xing. They do not want to see the mountains of corpses and seas of blood as during the two previous destructions of their country, and they do not want to experience again the tragic battle outside the city of Xingtai a hundred years ago.

As long as you can come up with a good idea, this old man will risk his reputation to ensure that you are promoted to a noble family after the war, and you can choose any fiefdom outside the capital. No matter if it's the king or the ministers, I will slap anyone who dares to oppose me.

You wanted to enter the Imperial College last time but failed. This time I must ask the king for permission. You are allowed to read any book in the entire capital's collection at will. Do you think this is feasible?"

PS: I have been so busy with the wedding these days that I was stunned when I saw Duzouyipimao gave 60000 Qidian coins as a reward on the wedding day. I sincerely thank this old friend for his support and encouragement. I am also very grateful to all the readers for their monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions. There are too many people so I won't list their names one by one to avoid suspicion of trying to make up the word count. I'm taking a bus back to Kunming today and will prepare to update more chapters starting tomorrow.
