After Lu Zaixing heard the emperor's words, he fell into deep thought.

He knew there would be more troops, but he didn't expect that the troops would be added to the front line so quickly.

In his conjecture, he felt that if more troops were sent to the front, it would be after one or two major battles.

However, the first battle has just begun, and the winner has not yet been decided. No matter how you look at it, the increase in troops at this time is a bit too fast.

"Your Majesty, is it too fast to increase the troops at this moment? Do you want to slow down?"

Lu Zaixing dissuaded him very humbly.

He doesn't understand military matters.

Normally, only a symbolic suggestion would be given for this kind of thing.

The biggest reason why he is unwilling to increase troops now is that he feels that it is not easy to dispatch four million troops to fight.

Continuing to increase troops is either impossible, or it will put some pressure on the court.

Zhao Yuan knew his concerns and knew that he would say this, so he had no intention of blaming him.

"Fan Xian, what do you think about this matter?"

He asked Fan Xian because he wanted the six ministers to see whether he was qualified to serve as the left prime minister.

Fan Xian thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is not impossible to increase the number of troops at this moment. There are two reasons.

First, we are fighting on the Yao Clan's home territory. The gap between us and the Yao Clan is extremely obvious. The supply line from Kyushu to the Yao Clan's hinterland is tens of thousands of miles long, but the Yao Clan's supplies rely on local advantages.

With constant supply, we can definitely fight a war of attrition with us. In this way, our strength advantage of four million is almost the same as their three million.

Secondly, if we increase the number of troops, we can simply send a large army to the battlefield to assist the two princes at all times, which can also help once and for all.

This is just the humble opinion of a humble minister, and I hope your Majesty will give you some advice."

Zhao Yuan nodded approvingly to him.

The reason why Fan Xian was asked to answer this question was because he found that the other party could guess his thoughts very well, and he also had his own views and theories on the development of the war, which was definitely not as simple as talking on paper.

"You are right. After careful consideration, I decided to invite General Qi Jiguang and Qi to come out and command him to lead an army of 800,000 people to immediately set out to conquer the territory of the demon clan to assist the two princes and defeat the stubborn enemy together."

Zhao Yuan had heard the Supreme Emperor say before that among the many generals who participated in the battle to unify the world, only Qi Jiguang was the most unselfish.

The Qi family can be said to be loyal to the country and deserve some care from the court.

When Xiao Xuanwu came to power, all the aristocratic families jumped out, but only the Qi family did not participate in government affairs, and even criticized the Xiao family's actions among the people.

From this point of view, the Qi family's family tradition is still very good.

At the beginning, the reason why he sent out two armies was because one was to target the Bear Clan in the Demon Clan's capital, and the other was to target the Demon King.

But now that he thought about it seriously, he felt that there was no need to target him one-on-one.

You can send out three or four armies, whether it is a flanking attack or a chaotic battle.

It also has an advantage over both armies.

Then I thought of Qi Jiguang.

This is not a random guess, but a well thought out one.

When the ministers heard that 800,000 more troops had been added, they were a little frightened.

There are too many.

Combined with the four million troops currently participating in the war, that would be a full five million.

It is truly unprecedented for a country to have such a huge number of people participating in the war.

Zhong Peng, Minister of the Ministry of War, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. At present, the total garrison strength of all Jiuzhou is only 800,000. If they are all sent out, there will be no troops in the country. What if at this time,

What should I do if I cause trouble overnight and take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos?"

Zhao Yuan had already thought about this matter and had done some research in advance.

Otherwise, he would not have said the harsh words of increasing the number of troops by 800,000 at once.

"I know, but you have to believe in our compatriots. They will not take advantage of this time when I am fighting foreign enemies to engage in civil strife, because I am doing this not only for myself, but also for the entire human race."

The characters of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Changqing are really similar.

They are all the kind of people who, once they decide on something, don't want to give up easily.

The emperor insisted on this, and the ministers had nothing to say.

In order to increase the number of troops, Zhao Yuan had been preparing for a month or two.

Later, he personally invited Qi Jiguang to come out and ordered him to lead an army to conquer the demon clan.

Qi Jiguang happily accepted the order.

When he arrived at the Monster Clan, the first battle had been successfully concluded.

Zhao Changlin's side achieved a perfect victory, not only severely damaging the main force of the demon clan, but even almost capturing the demon emperor alive.

It's a pity that even that point may have ended the war early.

However, in this battle, the casualties on the human side were not small.

Generally speaking, the demon clan was still defeated.

Zhao Hongji's side did not go so smoothly. At the end of the first battle, he failed to capture the demon capital.

It's like an iron wall, perfect.

As for Zhao Changlin, there is no need to worry for the time being.

Therefore, after Qi Jiguang arrived at the battlefield, he immediately chose to join forces with Zhao Hongji.

The Demon King was shocked when he learned that the human race had sent reinforcements.

He had no choice but to issue a conscription order to his people again.

Almost all the demon people with strength above the Third Realm or the Fourth Realm were captured by him to join the army.

Monsters with low-level combat power are everywhere.

As long as it is an adult monster, there will be cultivation in it.

However, some monsters with weak cultivation are of little use on the battlefield.

Therefore, after careful planning, he only managed to gather an army of 340,000 monsters in a very short period of time.

The reason why there is no time to continue recruiting troops is because the second battle has begun.

After discussions between Qi Jiguang and Zhao Hongji, they agreed that since the demon capital was easy to defend and difficult to attack, attacking the city would be of little use other than increasing casualties.

Then simply stop attacking the city and surround them.

So that they can only be trapped in the city and unable to come out.

As time goes by, the morale of the army becomes turbulent. At that time, it may be possible to attack the demon capital.

After trapping them all, Zhao Hongji personally led the troops to attract the main force of the Bear tribe.

Qi Jiguang then went around the mountains and forests, crossing alleys, and approached the main tent of the Bear Clan's army.

Echoing Zhao Hongji from afar.

By then, the disadvantage here will be completely reversed.

However, as the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. When Qi Jiguang made such a move, the Demon Emperor could no longer sit still, so he intercepted and killed Qi Jiguang.

How could Zhao Changlin let him get his wish? The two sides fought again in a wilderness, with bones piled up into mountains.

But neither side was willing to give in even a single step.

Qi Jiguang knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from the demon clan.

Therefore, he could only rely on the mobility of King Changlin's army until there was no ventilation.

This is a tacit understanding between old comrades-in-arms.

As early as in the previous war, Qi Jiguang knew that no one could match Chen Qingzhi in terms of the speed of attacking a city and defeating the enemy, and no one could compete with Huo Qubing in terms of lightning attack tactics.

However, when it comes to the overall mobility and coordination of the army, King Changlin is the best.
