Chapter 836 Talking on paper, I don’t know what to say
Not long after, with the arrival of Chen Yinghao, Chen Xiaotian and others, the morning meeting of the Chen family officially began.
"Everyone be quiet."
Following Chen Xiaotian's order, the conference hall immediately became silent.
Chen Xiaotian first looked around, "Where is Chen Qi?
Are you here yet?"
In the corner, Chen Qi replied, "Here it is."
Chen Xiaotian was stunned, "What are you doing sitting there?
You are now the new head of our Chen Royal family, so you should sit here."
Chen Qi responded with a smile, "It was my lack of consideration."
After that, Chen Qi came to the front of the conference table and sat down under the gaze of everyone.
During this period, everyone in the Chen family in the hall exchanged glances with each other and were speechless for a while.
After Chen Qi sat down, Chen Xiaotian continued, "Chen Qi, today is your first day on the job. You may not be familiar with many things yet. How about I host today's morning meeting on your behalf?"
Chen Qi nodded, "Okay."
Then, Chen Xiaotian nodded slightly and faced everyone.
"Everyone, everyone must be aware of what happened last night."
"The two royal families of Yan and Yun are planning to march to [Shangjing] with 200,000 troops each, led by eighteen martial arts masters from both families. Their purpose is to completely obliterate our Chen royal family."
After hearing this, everyone looked solemn and sat upright.
"We made our first assessment and found that the total force that our Chen Royal family can use now totals less than 100,000 troops."
"One hundred thousand versus four hundred thousand, and there are also eighteen martial arts masters with peak strength. This is destined to be a war with a slim chance of winning."
Chen Xiaotian raised his head slightly and stared at everyone.
"Now, I want to hear everyone's opinions on this."
As soon as Chen Xiaotian finished speaking, he heard Chen Pei'en suddenly speak from the side.
"Of course we will fight to the death!"
After hearing this, everyone wanted to look at Chen Pei'en.
I saw Chen Pei'en's fighting spirit high and his expression excited as he spoke.
"The two royal families of Yan and Yun are planning to join forces to deal with the Chen royal family. Apparently they are afraid of the strength of the Chen royal family and are worried that we will be too powerful and overwhelm them."
"Since the enemy is afraid, how can we surrender without fighting?"
"In my opinion, although our Chen royal family is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, everyone should not forget that [Shangjing] is the territory of our Chen royal family. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. I believe that knowing that all of us are united, we will be able to
The force is like breaking bamboo, killing all the invading enemies without leaving any trace behind!"
"well said!"
Chen Zhiman suddenly agreed, "Brother is absolutely right."
"I, the Chen Royal Family, have been deeply rooted in [Shangjing] for hundreds of years, occupying the right time, place, and people. The two royal families of Yan and Yun are just some temporarily organized rabble. It doesn't matter if there are many people. I, the Chen Family Army, are not vegetarians.
!”
Chen Wenbin nodded, "I also agree with brother.
[Shangjing] is the territory of our Chen royal family. Before they arrive, we can arrange our troops in advance. As long as they dare to come, we will let them come and never come back!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately received applause from the whole hall.
Although Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, and Chen Wenbin are usually a little unlearned and unskilled, in the face of such a catastrophe, they could say such impassioned words, which is really commendable.
When Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, and Chen Wenbin saw the crowd applauding, there was a hint of pride on their faces, and their eyes occasionally glanced at Chen Qi, who was silent at the side.
That way, it's like showing off.
In response, Chen Xiaotian also nodded.
As the father of Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, and Chen Wenbin, why would Chen Xiaotian not want his son to make achievements?
However, the three of them had mediocre abilities and could not reach any important places, so there was nothing he could do.
Now, the three of them can speak out on such an important occasion. If nothing else, this is at least a good start.
Chen Xiaotian smiled and asked, "Chen Qi, I want to hear what you think of what Pei En and the others just said?"
Chen Qi asked, "You want me to tell the truth?"
"certainly."
But Chen Qi sneered for a moment, "I wonder if Mr. Chen has ever heard of the allusion of 'talking on paper'?"
“Talking on paper?
Of course I’ve heard of it.”
Chen Xiaotian frowned slightly, "But what do you mean?"
Chen Qi took his time and answered word for word, "In ancient times, there was a talented man named Zhao Kuo in the State of Zhao. He had been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he talked about military wars on paper, and his words were flawless."
"But he doesn't know that wars are going on and things are changing rapidly. How can you defeat an enemy thousands of miles away just by relying on your imagination?"
Chen Xiaotian understood somewhat, "You mean, Pei En and the others are just talking on paper?"
Chen Qi nodded, "That's probably what it means."
"fart!"
Chen Pei'en suddenly shouted angrily, "Chen Qi, don't think that just because you are the head of our Chen Royal Family, you can talk nonsense here!"
"We are obviously discussing strategies to deal with the enemy, but you say that we are just talking on paper?"
Chen Zhiman was also furious, "That's right.
Now is a critical period related to the survival of our Chen Royal Family, so it’s fine if you don’t make suggestions for our Chen Royal Family, but you are still fanning the flames here, what are your intentions?”
Chen Wenbin snorted coldly, "In my opinion, it was a mistake to let him become the head of our Chen Royal Family.
He is just a reckless man who knows a little bit of skill, but in the face of disaster, he shrinks back and does nothing.
I don’t believe that this kind of person can lead our Chen royal family through this disaster.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present fell silent.
In fact, when Chen Qi took the position of head of the Chen Royal family, the Chen family was still more or less suspicious.
Chen Qi looks like a young man under thirty years old.
When it comes to how one behaves in the world, or one's own character, they are still at an immature stage.
Indeed, Chen Qi's martial arts strength far exceeds that of his peers.
But leading a huge family to prosperity cannot be achieved by force alone.
But the Chen royal family put their own destiny in his hands. Doesn't it seem a bit reckless?
If it weren't for the relationship with the Prophet, many people would have raised objections long ago.
In this regard, senior leaders of the Chen family, such as Chen Yinghao, Chen Xiaotian, Chen Enze, etc., are actually skeptical.
Chen Qi won the election for the throne with an overwhelming advantage. Naturally, no one had any objection to his being able to sit on the throne.
However, everyone still couldn't believe what the prophet said.
Especially that sentence: Do you think it is your [Chen Royal Family's] blessing to have him lead you [Chen Royal Family]?
The implication seems to be that members of their [Chen Royal Family] clan are not as good as a descendant of an outside clan?
In response to the questions raised by Chen Pei'en and others, Chen Qi remained calm and relaxed.
"Chen is just telling the truth. The three emperors do not know how to lead troops in war, so what they say has no reference value."
Chen Pei'en was amused, "I don't know how to lead troops to fight, don't you?"
