"Zheng Shuai, how long has it been since this happened, and we are still talking about these things."
A general frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
Although the other generals didn't say anything, their expressions looked a little unhappy.
After all, Zheng Zhi's appearance at this moment seems a bit unreliable...
"Let Zheng Shuai continue."
Yuan Yiyi scolded the general.
"In my opinion, there is no difference between fighting and fishing."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Now the blood demon clan's army has surrounded the Blood City, and the Yelian Sect is still causing trouble in various counties. If this continues, it will obviously be particularly difficult."
"The four hundred thousand members of the Karma Lotus Sect are enough to sweep through all major counties and districts. If they continue to be allowed to develop, the size of the Karma Lotus Sect will only increase day by day. After all, there is no shortage of ambitious people in this world. Once they become powerful,
, it will be difficult to suppress them again."
Everyone nodded when they heard the words.
Indeed, although the current Karma Lotus Sect is very powerful, it has not yet truly become popular.
Once it truly becomes a force, it will be extremely difficult to completely eradicate it.
It should be noted that the elites of the empire are now almost concentrated in Zhanxue Pass, while most of the other elites are stationed in the Blood City. The remaining counties have almost no power to compete with the Karma Lotus Sect.
"What's Shuai Zheng's clever plan?"
Yuan Hongtao looked at Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi smiled mysteriously: "To catch big fish, you need to use heavy bait."
"We only need to let the Karma Lotus Sect know that the Blood Emperor is in the Blood City, and there are only 200,000 defenders in the Blood City. What do you think will happen to the Karma Lotus Sect?"
"He will definitely concentrate all his military power, join forces with the blood demon clan's army, and then take over the Blood City in one fell swoop."
Yuan Yiyi said.
"No, this is too risky, I object."
Yuan Hongtao immediately objected.
"Yes, putting His Majesty in such a dangerous situation, once an accident occurs, such a huge empire will be wiped out in an instant."
Some generals objected.
Almost all generals disagreed.
The eyes they looked at Zheng Zhi were even a little angry.
The Blood Emperor is the king of a country.
It's too important, who dares to make such a huge gamble?
It should be noted that the number of blood demon clan and Karma Lotus Sect rebels is an astonishing 550,000.
Not only that, whether it is the Blood Demon Clan or the Karma Lotus Sect, there are many masters, and even if there are not many Great Sun Masters, they are definitely not without them.
Although the Bloody Ancient Formation is not invincible, the Ancient Formation is not invincible.
To put it bluntly, as a minister, daring to gamble with His Majesty's life is simply treason.
That is to say, they know that Zheng Zhi is very likely to have a close relationship with the Blood Emperor, otherwise they would have turned the table over.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to trust me?"
Zheng Zhi did not respond to these generals immediately, but turned his head to look at Yuan Yiyi.
"How could I have ever been afraid of risking death and living again?"
Yuan Yiyi curled her red lips: "Zheng Shuai, my country, my family and my life are all in your hands. You shouldn't just watch me be killed by the rebels, right?"
This voice of Zheng Shuai had a different taste in Zheng Zhi's ears.
Hearing this, Zheng Zhi smiled lightly: "As long as your Majesty trusts me, then I will always be the person your Majesty can trust most."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Yuan Hongtao said loudly.
"Your Majesty, it concerns the empire, please think twice!"
All the generals also stopped in unison.
"No need to persuade me, I have already made up my mind."
Yuan Yiyi waved her hand and dismissed the generals' appeal.
She said: "I will return to the Blood City and tell all the ambitious people in the world, King Qin, that I will live and die with the capital."
"I'll leave this to you."
"good."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly: "As long as I am here, the country will not perish."
Hearing this, Yuan Yiyi smiled, but then she thought of something and sighed faintly: "After this battle, the country that our Blood Underworld Empire has managed for thousands of years will be riddled with holes, and I don't know how many innocent people will die."
“There are pros and cons!”
Zheng Zhi shook his head.
He is not that worried about the country and the people.
Zheng Zhi comforted him: "Look at it a bit. There is no one who can't die in a war. Besides, this time we can uproot the two cancers of the Karma Lotus Sect and the Blood Demon Clan, which is also a good thing for the long-term peace and stability of the empire."
."
"Moreover, my move can also minimize civilian casualties."
"How to say?"
Yuan Yiyi looked at Zheng Zhi.
"The purpose of the Karma Lotus Sect is restoration. Since it is restoration, it will not harm the people of the empire too much. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about civil strife."
Zheng Zhi analyzed: "As for the Blood Demon Clan, they probably have the same idea as the Karma Lotus Sect. Although these two forces have temporarily joined forces, as long as they want to rule, they will focus on influence and people's hearts."
Hearing this, Yuan Yiyi nodded: "I hope so!"
As for the Blood Emperor's actions, the generals no longer said anything.
They could see that Yuan Yiyi had already decided and would not make any changes based on their advice.
Not long after, Yuan Yiyi was ready to return.
Zheng Zhi stood up and sent him off.
The generals also wanted to send him off, but Yuan Yiyi stopped him: "I want to go alone with Commander Zheng."
Seeing this, the generals gave up.
The two of them stood side by side, walking on the wall of Zhanxue Pass.
On the city wall, there are usually many soldiers stationed here, but in order to leave some space for the two of them to be alone, Sima Yue dismissed the soldiers in this area in advance.
I have to say that this Sima Yue is very good at life.
As smart as he is, he has naturally noticed that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
The young man is handsome and the young girl is noble, which makes them a beautiful scenery on the city wall.
However, although the two walked together, they did not communicate.
"Zheng Zhi, are you confident in this battle?"
After a long silence, Yuan Yiyi finally spoke.
There was deep worry in her beautiful eyes.
Although he looks strong and cold and arrogant in front of his ministers, she is a woman after all. She is helpless in the face of despair and wants to have someone to rely on.
But as the emperor of her country, she couldn't show her weak side in times of crisis.
Only at this moment, in front of Zheng Zhi, will it be revealed.
Looking at the queen in front of him, for some reason, Zheng Zhi suddenly felt a twinge of distress in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, then took the girl's hand and said softly: "As I said, as long as you believe in me, I will always be the person you trust most."
"Zheng Zhi, thank you."
Looking at the young man with sincere eyes in front of him, Yuan Yiyi felt warm in his heart.
"How can I thank you?"
Zheng Zhi suddenly leaned close to the girl's ear, a wicked smile appeared on his face.
The sudden itching in her ear made the girl's face turn red with embarrassment, and she quickly opened Zheng Zhi's hand.
"gone."
Yuan Yiyi glanced at Zheng Zhi and prepared to leave.
"Protect yourself and wait for me."
Zheng Zhi waved his hand.
Yuan Yiyi nodded, but just after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something again, and turned to look at Zheng Zhi: "Zheng Zhi, if this difficulty can be solved, Yiyi will give you a reward."
"award?"
Zheng Zhi was stunned.
All kinds of bad thoughts come to mind.
Seeing the young man's somewhat vulgar expression, the girl rolled her eyes at the former.
Then, the figure disappeared.
"I won't leave without a kiss."
Zheng Zhi touched his nose and muttered.
However, when he thought of the surprise Yuan Yiyi said, Zheng Zhi still felt a little excited.
"Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty! The ancients never deceived me."
Zheng Zhi sighed quietly.
Of course, these emotions only flashed through his mind.
Now is not the time to remember the love between children.
Now he is the marshal of an empire.
And at a time when the building is about to collapse, the pressure on me is still considerable.
Take a deep breath and clear away the emotions in your heart.
Afterwards, Zheng Zhi began to inspect the city defense.
The city wall of Zhanxue Pass is very strong and contains countless powerful formations.
Although it is not as heaven-defying as the Great Zhoutian Blood Formation in the Blood City, it is still enough to kill the Great Sun Master.
The deployment of troops and the allocation of firepower at each defense point were also extremely scientific, and Zheng Zhi could not find any flaws.
It can be seen from this that Yuan Hongtao is indeed capable.
Thinking about it, the importance of Zhan Xue Guan is self-evident, and it can even affect the general trend of the entire Xue Ming Heaven Realm.
How could the leader of such an important city gate be mediocre?
After a tour, Zheng Zhi returned to the meeting hall.
All the generals of the army are still there.
They were discussing tactics in front of the sand table.
Headed by Yuan Hongtao.
Seeing Zheng Zhi walking in, everyone turned around, but there was a hint of coldness in their eyes.
"Zheng Shuai, I dare to ask you what you mean by this move?"
A general asked.
Although he admired Zheng Zhi both in terms of means and strength, when it came to principles, he would not be polite either.
"Using His Majesty as bait, you are actually able to do such a heinous and unethical thing. Have you ever considered the consequences?"
Another general also chimed in.
Yuan Hongtao also said with a serious face at this moment: "Zheng Shuai, I admire your talent, but we can't afford to lose such a big gamble."
In the hall, Sima Yue also looked at the scene in front of him.
Smelling the smell of gunpowder, Sima Yue also frowned slightly.
However, he made no sound.
Although, with his wisdom and eyesight, he could tell that Zheng Zhi's plan was actually right, at this time, no matter what he said, he would offend everyone.
"Are you here to hold people accountable?"
Zheng Zhi frowned: "Is this how you usually talk to your boss?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals were stunned.
Discipline in the army is strict, and any crime committed by someone like this is a serious crime no matter when.
But at this time, Zheng Zhi did not continue to blame.
Instead, he softened his tone and said, "Even if you don't know about my relationship with Yiyi, you should be able to guess a little bit."
"Publicly and privately, I don't want anything to happen to her more than any of you. If you say I'm gambling, I won't deny it. But with this kind of gambling, we have a chance to win. But in this situation,
How can you win without taking a gamble?"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
They are not ignorant people. They can judge the pros and cons after just a little thinking.
The previous impulsiveness was just driven by anger.
Zheng Zhi naturally wouldn't blame him.
It's not because he suddenly became generous.
But it can be seen from the attitude of these people that they are loyal to the royal family.
This feeling alone is worth making Zheng Zhi calm down.
Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something more.
But at this moment, a man in black suddenly shouted outside the hall: "My lords, the spies reported that zero tide is coming, less than a hundred miles away from Zhanxue Pass."
