It was already late at night by the time they got back to the Residence of Rong. The early summer evening was still chilly. Shang Yiqing helped Fang Zinan to walk towards the rooms. Just as the two of them passed through the long corridor, they saw Dong Fang Luo Li standing there. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time, her face full of anxiety.
"Princess Liu Li, what's wrong?" Shang Yiqing could not help but ask, she was very clear about what happened to Princess Liu Li, it must be because of this matter.
Dong Fang Luo Li suddenly kneeled down. "I beg you two, hurry up and convince the emperor to send out the order as soon as possible. My royal father is in grave danger right now, I really can't let my guard down."
Fang Zinan was already quite drunk. When he saw Dong Fang Luo Li kneeling down, he immediately sobered up and said: "Princess, please wake up. I will ask the Emperor to send an order as soon as possible."
"Princess, please get up first!" As Shang Yiqing spoke, she quickly helped Eastern Luo Li up.
"Your highness, wangfei, please go beg the emperor as soon as possible, or else I …"
"Get up and talk …" Shang Yiqing pulled her up quickly.
Only then did Dong Fang Luo Li get up, her pretty face was still a little pitiful, an incomparable sadness.
"Didn't you go to see the Emperor that day? Didn't the Emperor promise to send troops to help? " Shang Yiqing did not understand, she could not understand why Dong Fang Luo Li was so anxious today.
Dong Fang Luo Li reached out her hand to pull back her hair, saying with a sour tone: "I just had a dream, I dreamt that my father was covered in blood, I …" As he said this, he felt even more sad and almost cried.
Shang Yiqing smiled as if enlightened. "Sigh, that was just a dream. Your father will definitely be fine!"
Fang Zinan looked at Dong Fang Luo Li and comforted her, "Princess, you think too much. The day before, the emperor told you to discuss this with the ministers, and he did so to consider everything. Since the emperor promised you, he won't go back on his words."
As if Fang Zinan's words had some sort of magic, when Dong Fang Luo Li heard this, her expression became calmer, and she said a prayer while nodding her head: "I hope so."
The next morning, in the Hall of Announcements.
The court ministers and Prince Yu, Fang Zinan, were here to discuss with the emperor how to send troops to help the Kingdom of Dongyu.
Fang Zinan took a step forward, "Reporting to your majesty, your nephew thinks that we should dispatch troops to help the Kingdom of Dongyu as soon as possible. If the State of Beiyue were to occupy all of the territory of the Kingdom of Dongyu, it would be greatly detrimental to our country."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Prince Rong, leave first. We have something to ask Great General Xiao."
Xiao Tianyuan bowed, "This subject greets Your Majesty."
"General Xiao, please rise."
"Thank you, your majesty." Xiao Tianyuan stood up, bowing his head respectfully.
The emperor glanced at Xiao Tianyuan and said, "I summoned you here today because I think you are very outstanding in the field of military service. I have some military service matters today that I would like to hear what you have to say, General Xiao."
"I am indebted to Your Majesty for your love. This subject does not dare to accept your orders, your majesty."
"What do you think is the most important thing in a military operation?" The emperor looked at Xiao Tianyuan inquiringly.
Xiao Tian Yuan replied solemnly, "Reporting to your majesty, there is an ancient saying: the three armies have not moved, the food is in advance. "But I still think that fighting spirit is the most important thing."
"You mean morale is the most important thing?"
"Return to the Emperor. Kill the enemy on the battlefield. Fierce and dangerous. If you want to survive, then you must have a tenacious will to kill the enemy." To kill the enemy wholeheartedly, one must have the courage to go all out. The goal was to ignite the fighting spirit of the soldiers and generals. All one has to do is to kill the enemy, and your fighting spirit is high. Fighting one against ten is not a difficult task. "
The Emperor expressed approval and continued to ask, "Since the will to fight is the first priority, why not?"
"Back to the Emperor, military discipline and tactics. "Of course, only generals can make the military order work. Therefore, we need discipline as the priority and strategy as the support. We can do it with haste, drive like the wind, drive like the forests, and be as fierce as the tigers, calm as the mountains. We will definitely win a hundred battles!"
The emperor smiled slightly, "Let me ask you, with Nan Ping's current strength, is it feasible to attack the army of the Kingdom of Bei Yue?" The reason why he asked was because he felt that if he wanted to help the Eastwood Country attack Beiyue, they should be closer. If he wanted to mobilize the army from the country, not only would it take a lot of time, it would also take a lot of effort. If he were to move troops from the Southlevel Prefecture, it would be much easier.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Nanping County is a rich and prosperous city with over a hundred thousand troops stationed here. In addition, they are well-trained and well-disciplined. "I believe that with the current military strength of Nanping County, it will only take two months to expel the Northern Yue army from the Kingdom of Dongyu!"
The emperor's expression turned serious as he asked, "If I send you to attack Bei Yue, what are the chances of you winning?"
Xiao Tianyuan raised his head and solemnly replied, "This humble subject will definitely return victoriously!"
The emperor's face broke into a smile as he nodded repeatedly. "Alright!"
This is the Minister of War, Zuo Tiancheng, who stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject believes that when we send troops to the Kingdom of Dongyu, it is extraordinary and must be properly planned before we can act. Furthermore, the Emperor of the Empire of Dongyu has been missing for many days and there is no news of him until now. If we were to rashly send troops, I'm afraid our master would not have a name! "
The emperor nodded emotionally. "I'm also worried about that, that's why I haven't made a decision yet …" Saying this, he pondered for a moment before shifting his gaze to Prime Minister Liang Shucai, "Liang Shucai, I want to hear what you have to say?"
"In reply to the emperor, the words of Prince Rong and Lord Zuo make sense …" "Greetings, Your Majesty. Prince Ding requested an audience outside the palace, saying that he had an important military report for Your Majesty …"
"What?" Didn't King Ding come to the Peace Prefecture to work? Why are you returning to the palace without permission? " A look of displeasure appeared on the emperor's face. "Spread!"
Soon enough, Prince Ding walked into the hall. "Your Majesty greets you."
"I didn't order you to Peace Prefecture to investigate the matter of the corrupt officials. Did you manage that properly? Why did you return to the palace without permission? "
"Please calm your anger, your nephew was investigating the corruption in Peace Prefecture and accidentally saved the emperor of Dongyu. Your nephew knew that King Dongyu was here to seek your help, so he left Peace Prefecture without authorization and escorted King Dongyu to the capital."
"Where's King Dongyu?" He didn't expect that the Emperor of Dongyu Country would come as well. The Emperor couldn't help but ask.
"Nephew has already brought King Dongyu back to the palace and is currently waiting outside the Hall of Announcements for a summons."
The Emperor couldn't help but glance at Prince Yu. "Quick, spread the word!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Emperor of Dong Yu, Dong Fang Ming, walked in from outside and bowed: "The Emperor of Dong Yu greets the Emperor. Dong Fang Ming has asked the Emperor for help and humbly requested for troops to expel the strong enemies of Bei Yue to save our citizens from the deep heat of the water! Dongfang Ming will forever submit to Nanhai! "
If he had helped the Empire of Dongyu this time, not only would he be able to stabilize its territory, but he could also subdue the Kingdom of Dongyu. Why wouldn't he be willing to do so? The emperor raised his hand. "King Dongyu, no need to be agitated. Stand up and speak."
"Thank you, your majesty." Dongfang Ming stood up.
"King Ding, get up as well …"
"Thank you, your majesty …" King Ding stood up and stood at the side.
