Zhuo Gongfu said: "Fight! There were already disagreements between the tribes in the Western Regions. The matter of He Tuwang's betrayal had not been resolved, and now that the King of Tsushi had betrayed the imperial government and led troops to attack the border regions and towns! The Emperor has killed the Concubine Mei, the King of Tsushi will definitely not let this matter rest! So this time, there was almost no room for negotiation! There was only one battle! The more we retreat, the more arrogant the King of Tsushi will become! "

Tyrant said: "How should we fight with Marshal's opinion?"

Zhuo Gongfu said: "Conspiracy!"

Tyrant was interested and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! King of Tsushi is the leader of Emperor Feng's Tribal Alliance. Although he has an extremely powerful cavalry army in his hands, the tribes under his command have endless conflicts, and he is just a piece of loose sand! He rebelled against the Emperor because he wanted to avenge his daughter! The leaders of the other tribes would never sacrifice their lives for their own daughters! Therefore, as long as one used a little bit of a stratagem, it would be able to greatly weaken the King of Tsushi's strength! In this way, defeating the King of Tsushi is already a matter of victory! "

Tyrant praised, "Marshal is indeed worthy of the title of a millionaire general! That was true! Wonderful! Extremely wonderful! "

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! As long as the emperor gives this humble subject a huge army of one hundred thousand! This humble subject promises to eliminate the King of Tsushi's rebel army within three months! The military expenditure will definitely not exceed 50 million silver! "

The Prime Minister said, "In this way, only half of the treasury will be required. If General Zhuo was truly capable, it was the fortune of the imperial government! A blessing for the common people! "

Tyrant remained silent for a while and then said: "Marshal! Is there any way to defeat King of Tsushi without even fighting back? "

"Huh?"

The Prime Minister looked at Tyrant in shock!

King of Tsushi had two hundred thousand light cavalry soldiers, dominating the Western Regions and Prairies!

Tyrant had killed his daughter, and now it was time for revenge!

They came menacingly and had already captured many cities along the border.

You want to defeat the angry King of Tsushi without even using a single soldier?

This was simply a fantasy story!

Tyrant just looked at Zhuo Gongfu.

He knew that this middle-aged man had been in the war for many years. He was full of military strategy and tactics. He was a true invincible general!

It was just that he was usually very serious and cautious, and did not like to talk, so he did not make a fuss.

"Marshal!" If you have a way, you can force the King of Tsushi to retreat without even using a single soldier! I can make you king! "

Tyrant suddenly made a promise!

The Prime Minister was shocked as he thought to himself, "What's going on with your majesty?" Why does he have to be so stubborn to not waste a single soldier's time to defeat King of Tsushi? This... This... This is too illogical! "

Even though he was the Prime Minister!

He was just a civil servant!

No combat experience, no strategy to lead troops into the battlefield...

However, he would at least analyze the general situation of the world!

The Tian Song Dynasty had not experienced war for over a hundred years!

Although war was not a good thing.

However, a country without a war for a long time was even worse off!

Putting aside the laziness, relaxation, and lack of discipline of the soldiers, since they had not participated in a real battle for a long time, most of the soldiers of this generation were new recruits who had no actual combat experience …

The borders, the foreign powers, as well as the various kingdoms, had been eyeing the imperial government like tigers.

For a long time, there had been no military deterrence that would cause the border situation to become even more chaotic!

He Tuwang's rebellion was a perfect example!

Some appropriate martial arts deterrence could increase the prestige and deterrence of the imperial government!

Moreover, King of Tsushi's rebellion must be fought!

[He is here to avenge his daughter. That means he is going to fight to the death!]

Since there was a way to preserve the strength of the treasury, then King of Tsushi wouldn't have to spend a huge amount of manpower to win without a doubt …

This was definitely something advantageous in every aspect!

He had won this battle!

The soldiers were trained in combat experience, which boosted their morale!

The various tribes at the border would also experience the true strength of the imperial government, resulting in the fear of majesty and resistance. Thus, they would no longer dare to easily rebel.

The Prime Minister thought to himself: Does the Emperor have any other ideas?

His intuition told him that something bad was about to happen.

Zhuo Gongfu replied, "Your Majesty! The imperial government had six hundred thousand troops! This humble subject only needs one hundred thousand soldiers to annihilate the mob of King of Tsushi! "

Tyrant said: "What if I don't give you a single soldier?"

Zhuo Gongfu said: "This humble subject does not understand Your Majesty's intentions!"

Tyrant said: "We have killed the Concubine Mei who wanted to rebel, which is why we provoked the rebellion of the King of Tsushi! I don't want this matter to harm the innocent citizens of the world, so if Marshal Zhuo can be merciful without a fight! I shall grant Marshal Zhuo the title of king! "

The rebirth of a tyrant caused a huge change in the palace. This matter was tightly sealed off and had not been spread out.

And no one knew about the deaths of the Concubine Mei s.

Tyrant had fabricated the death of Concubine Mei as a crime of rebellion …

And the death of Concubine Ying, Tyrant hid it all!

If Domoto's family knew that Concubine Ying had been killed by him!

I'm afraid that there will be a break between the royal family and the Domoto's family soon!

In Tyrant's heart, he was secretly carrying out a plan …

A plan that could catch all of Domoto's family in one fell swoop and uproot their roots!

However, this plan still needed time!

Therefore, he had to temporarily hide the death of the Concubine Ying …

Furthermore, he could not use any of the imperial government's forces to go to war …

The imperial government must conserve its power!

The power of the Domoto's family in the capital was so huge that it could scare people to death!

Without a strong military force as a threat, perhaps no plan would be able to succeed!

The Prime Minister said, "Your Majesty, this matter …"

Tyrant said coldly: "Prime Minister, you don't need to teach us how to do things! If the Prime Minister has a way to bow to another without fighting, I am willing to make you a prince! forever enjoying the royal family's honor and privileges! "

The Prime Minister was silent!

Of course he wouldn't be able to do anything!

He was just a Prime Minister!

He was not a battle-hardened marshal!

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! Actually, there is a way to subdue others without fighting! "

Tyrant said: "Please speak, Marshal Zhuo!"

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! The messenger He Tuwang sent to negotiate with the imperial government is still in the capital? "

Tyrant nodded and said: "We have been here for a few days and they are still in the capital. The settlement agreement that they proposed is too barbaric. I have been having a headache over this matter for the past few days! "

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! There is a way to beat back the King of Tsushi without even using a single soldier! "

Tyrant said: "Is it related to He Tuwang's messenger?"

Zhuo Gongfu nodded, and said: "He Tuwang needs to establish his own mountain, then he will want to break free from the control of the imperial government! As the strongest faction in the alliance of the border tribes, He Tuwang is naturally unwilling to listen to the orders of the King of Tsushi, and even more unwilling to pay tribute to the imperial government at the age of one year! "

Tyrant's eyes were deep and focused!

Zhuo Gongfu continued, "Your majesty! If the emperor has a way to win He Tuwang over for his own use, and let He Tuwang fight against the King of Tsushi, then this would be a method to make both sides happy! "

"Good!" What a great idea! Not only did this solve the problem of He Tuwang's rebellion, it also forced the rebellion of the King of Tsushi to retreat! Marshal Zhuo, quickly tell me, what exactly do you think in your heart? "

Tyrant was overjoyed!

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! This humble subject believes that He Tuwang is unwilling to forever be the humble subject of a tribe alliance. He instigated a rebellion just to satisfy his desire for power! "

Tyrant said: "Continue!"

Zhuo Gongfu continued: "King of Tsushi is doing this to avenge my daughter! This sort of anger was not something that could be easily dispelled! Therefore, compared to He Tuwang's rebellion, the King of Tsushi's rebellion is the most troublesome! "

Tyrant said: "Marshal Zhuo's words make sense! The King of Tsushi came here with the wrath of revenge, it was easy for them to reach a compromise! On the other hand, for the sake of power and benefits, it was much easier to reach a compromise with He Tuwang! But the problem is, the conditions that He Tuwang sent out is truly hard to accept! "

"He wants us to exempt all tribute and taxes of the Black Slaughter Tribe, then let's forget about it! He even wanted us to announce to the world and make him a part of He Tuwang! Let the River Slaughter Nation and the imperial government be on equal footing! This kind of wolfish ambition is truly hateful! "

Zhuo Gongfu continued: He Tuwang has the upper hand now! Moreover, if he knew that the King of Tsushi had started a rebellion, he would probably demand even more! Therefore, it's unavoidable for a lion to demand an exorbitant price! "

Tyrant said: "So it sounds like Marshal Zhuo has a plan? Could Marshal Zhuo really solve this problem? "

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! Method... It wasn't that there were none! It only depends on whether the Emperor is willing or not! "

Tyrant said: "Is it more shameful than admitting that their little River Slaughter Nation is on equal footing with the imperial government?"

Zhuo Gongfu shook his head.

Tyrant said: "Then please speak your mind, Marshal!"

But Zhuo Gongfu suddenly stopped!

Tyrant said: "Why isn't Marshal Zhuo saying anything?"

Zhuo Gongfu asked, "Your majesty! Was what the Emperor said true? "

Tyrant said: "Of course! I am the emperor of a country. The word I speak is the imperial edict. I will never go back on my word! Therefore, since Marshal Zhuo was able to bow to the enemy without a fight, I shall immediately bestow him the title of King shoulder to shoulder! From now on, the marshal can see that I will not kneel, and my descendants will forever enjoy the title of nobility! "

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! This humble subject does not want the title! "

Tyrant said: "Then I will reward you with gold! I'll give you however much you want! "

Zhuo Gongfu said, "Your majesty! This humble subject does not want gold either! "

Tyrant said: "Then what do you want? Wealth and glory, money and power is up to you! "

Zhuo Gongfu looked at Tang Benkui, a trace of hatred and sorrow flashing across his eyes: "This humble subject doesn't want anything! As long as the Prime Minister does three things for this humble subject! Pour tea! Pour water! Change your shoes! "

After Tang Benkui heard this, he was enraged!

"Zhuo Gongfu, don't go too far!"

Zhuo Gongfu calmly and sorrowfully said, "Prime Minister! When my son died, did you ever think about not going too far? This Prime Minister has only come to talk about bullying me, isn't that too funny? "

Tyrant readily agreed: "Okay! As long as Marshal Zhuo has a way to withdraw his troops, I think the Prime Minister wouldn't mind doing a little thing for the general! Besides, this was for the comfort and safety of the people! If there were to be a war, who knows how many civilians would be displaced! "

"People?"

"Humph!"

"A cruel Emperor like you actually cares about the people?"

The Prime Minister laughed coldly in his heart.

But he did not dare to laugh!

No matter how arrogant the Domoto's family was, he would definitely not dare to openly mock the Emperor!

Zhuo Gongfu's face was solemn, his expression serious, as he spoke while pausing after each word, "Your Majesty! As long as the Prime Minister could do these three things! This humble subject guarantees that there will be a way to make King of Tsushi retreat without even using a single soldier! "
