"No problem. I just thought of an idiom, 'Eat the marrow and you will know the taste.'"
"..."
"You know what that means, don't you?"
"..."
"I'm going to drain you dry!"
"Hey, hey, I'm a woman, how can you... uh... gu..."
Li Qingcha understood a truth that day -
Women can also be squeezed dry.

The next morning,
Before the morning court session, Li Qingcha was urgently summoned to the palace.
In the Zhonghe Hall, I met the emperor.
Of course, the Seventh Prince, Tao Ying, Chu Zhongtian and others were also present.
The emperor had already changed into the black dragon robe for the morning court session. When he saw Li Qingcha coming in, he said without further ado, "Li Qing, take a look at the content of the martial arts test sent by the demon tribe."
Li Qingcha glanced around, his gaze lingering on the others.
The emperor said, "They have all seen it."
With these words, Li Qingcha unfolded the letter of credence.
It was not yet dawn, so all the oil lamps in the Zhonghe Hall were lit. The lights were as bright as day, and reading was not difficult.
"Military formation?"
Li Qingcha was somewhat surprised.
I thought Yujun would come up with something new~
The emperor glanced at her and said, "Li Qing, the key lies in the method of this military formation. Even if all the demons were soldiers, the envoys only have a few dozen people at most. What kind of formation can they form?"
tsk...
Li Qingcha was shocked.
"The demons really take it for granted. They call it a military formation, but I'm afraid it will end up being a small-scale fight. It would be more appropriate to call it a martial arts competition."
Chu Zhongtian nodded and responded, "We think so too. The Great Xia Army is strong in military discipline and formations, and its orders are strictly enforced, but if it is broken up into small groups, it will not have an advantage in a real fight."
"What if we select people strictly?"
"Master Li, please continue reading...it is definitely not as simple as strictly selecting people."
Li Qingcha turned back.
On the second page, Li Hulun wrote down the three aspects he believed should be compared in a military confrontation:
Courage, strength, and force.
Courage is courage;
Force is power;
Wu means martial arts.
Judging from what Li Hulun said, the second round of the martial arts test should be a BO3, best of three.
However, Li Qingcha thought this was pure nonsense.
Discipline is not important to the military?
Morale is not important to the military?
They believe that courage, strength and martial arts are the most important. An army that places so much emphasis on individuals will never have good combat effectiveness. Once they find that the opponent is better at fighting than themselves on the battlefield, their morale will be lost and they will most likely be defeated.
Li Qingcha pondered and said, "I thought Prince Zuo would go on stage himself."
The emperor sneered.
"Is that possible? Not to mention that there are high-ranking people like Wei Shanzhang in Bailu Academy and Jianzheng in the Imperial Observatory, there are also many in the palace... Humph! He is a fourth-rank master, and he can indeed be considered a master, but the masters of Daxia are much higher."
Chu Zhongtian on the other side also nodded.
"It is indeed a joke to decide the outcome of the autumn hunt by a personal duel."
In fact, using autumn hunting to decide the outcome of the war was a joke in itself, but because both sides were tired, they resorted to this last resort.
The Seventh Prince muttered, "I just don't know how they will compete."
Everyone was silent.
After a long while, the emperor said, "Strength and martial arts should be easy to guess. Strength is nothing more than how heavy an object can be lifted, or how far one can walk with a heavy object lifted..."
Tao Ying then added: "It is possible to lift it as high as possible."
"Yes, it's pretty much the same. The same goes for martial arts. It could be a one-on-one fight, or a group fight like five people against five people."
"Why does the Emperor think it's five against five?"
"Consider the composition of the demon soldiers. There are five wolf demons, five tiger demons, and five lion demons. Bravery, strength, and martial arts each have three items. With this calculation, their composition is not difficult to estimate."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Tao Ying flattered the emperor without showing off.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what the emperor said. This is how the personnel configuration of the demon tribe should be.
Li Qingcha used to watch historical dramas, but she could never understand one thing.
In ancient times, both sides in a war had no military uniforms and were all dressed in gray. In addition, they used cold weapons. Once they started fighting, how could they tell who was who?
It was not until later, after I came into contact with the Beijing Camp, that I realized that it was nothing more than two words -
Fellow countryman.
In ancient times, there was no universal Mandarin, so there was the situation of "the accent remains unchanged but the hair turns gray". When people from the same hometown formed a team, they would basically not be unable to distinguish between friend and foe and thus kill each other.
What's more, fellow townsmen may all be familiar relatives and friends, so there will be fewer problems in distinguishing between friends and enemies.
This situation should also apply to the demon race.
Only when troops with the same totem are organized together can they have enough morale, like He Xingfa's advance team, with tiger monsters as personal soldiers and commanders, and wolf monsters as non-commissioned officers, the combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.
The emperor asked, “There are two main problems now.”
He held up a finger.
"First, how do you think the demon race compares their so-called 'courage'?"
No one said a word.
Courage is something that cannot be quantified. How can we say that one person is more courageous and another is not?
Unless one uses some strange props from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism or sorcerers.
However, since the questions were asked by the demon race, I don't think they would use those.
Emmm...
They should be more direct.
Everyone pondered.
The emperor looked around and continued, "The second question, should we agree? You know, the individual combat capabilities of the demon race are very strong. In terms of strength and martial arts, the human race is most likely no match for them."
This is also true.
In the past, the human race was able to win in the autumn hunting activities mostly through large-scale collaborative competitions.
For example, when multiple people were hunting, the soldiers of the Beijing camp were good at cooperating, some were responsible for reconnaissance, some were responsible for shooting, and they were also familiar with the environment of Shanglin Garden, so they were able to win by several tens of points.
Many of the losses of the human race were due to individual combat.
The simplest example is a martial arts competition, where individual strength is tested purely on the individual's ability, such as archery, horseback riding or car racing.
The Seventh Prince said, "Is it appropriate to refuse?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
This sentence left everyone silent.
If you agree so readily to the written test and then start to hesitate when it comes to the martial arts test, you will definitely be laughed at.
However, in the diplomatic relations between two countries, face and interests are equally important.
As long as you can win.
The problem now is that the competition items proposed by Li Hulun seem to have a 40:60 chance, and the human race does not have such a big disadvantage.
Especially the courage.
The emperor was certain that his elite troops were not inferior in courage, as evidenced by the fact that the human race could resist the enemy time and time again.
At the same time, there is another very troublesome point. Li Qingcha had just criticized the monsters for saying that humans are cowardly and afraid of war in the literary test, but he immediately showed his guilty conscience in the martial arts test. Isn't this slapping himself in the face?
stare--
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Qingcha.
Li Qingcha:  ̄□ ̄||
She coughed lightly,
"Well... that is the case. I think this matter is still..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor looked at the sky outside and interrupted, "Alas, it's already this time. I should go to court."
The eunuch was stunned.
"Your Majesty, it's only 2:00 pm now..."
"cough!"
"Go to court!"
The eunuch quickly helped the emperor open the door.
The emperor walked towards the gate, turned around and said, "Li Qing, I have always trusted you to do things. So... hehe... you must pay more attention to this martial arts test. Even if you lose, you must not lose face for our Great Xia."
Li Qingcha: ???
Weren't we just discussing whether to agree or not?
Why does the emperor sound determined to fight the demon tribe head-on?
Li Qingcha was speechless.
Do you really think you are a Doraemon who always has a solution?!
Chapter 499 Treat
The emperor is gone.
Li Qingcha's eyes swept across the Zhonghe Hall.
Chu Zhongtian coughed lightly.
"Um... Mr. Li, I have to go to the morning court as well, please do as you please."
Tao Ying followed up and said, "So do I."
Li Qingcha: “…”
"My Lords, it is only the second quarter of the morning."
