"Forget it, forget it, I have already decided on this matter. Please don't wade into this muddy water again. The Lord is merciful and will never involve innocent people."
King Qin Guang sat on a chair, holding his head with one hand: "Okay, you all can go down, I want to be alone."
"This...ugh!"
Many generals in the audience wanted to persuade him a few more words, but seeing King Qin Guang's resolute attitude, they didn't know what to say.
Just when everyone was about to leave the hall, a school captain suddenly came to report from outside the hall.
"Report to your Majesty, our scouts discovered a mysterious army in the northwest of the Ghost Domain Camp. An hour ago they had a fierce battle with the Wuwei Army of the Western Regions, and the Wuwei Army was completely wiped out."
"What!!!"
"Tell me again!"
Li Jing and others, who had just prepared to leave the tent, turned back.
The captain raised his hands and replied: "The entire Wuwei army was wiped out!"
"This, how is this possible? The Wuwei Army is the elite of the Western Region. There are 50,000 elites under their command. How could it be wiped out in just one hour?"
Li Jing couldn't believe his ears, so he confirmed again and again: "Tell me clearly, who did it?"
"By the way, where is Qu Bing? Do you have any news about him?"
At this time, Wei Qing, who had been worried about Huo Qubing, quickly asked about the situation: "When we retreated, Qubing went northwest. Have you seen him?"
"Back to General, General Huo and I did not see it. We only know that the other party has an extremely large ship that can gallop on land."
"The opponent is well-equipped with heavy machine guns and other firepower points!"
"There is a black skull and crossbones flag on the ship, like a white ghost in the night, and their leader claims to be Captain Jack of the Malik Strait."
"In addition, the other side has hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of generals. Among them, a cavalry force of 20,000 is the most powerful."
"Those cavalry horses all have a pair of white wings, and their limbs are powerful, comparable to the top spirit beasts; the soldiers on the horses all wear tiger head masks, and they come and go like the wind, and the place they pass by is like a deserted place."
"The Wuwei Army was defeated by them. In less than a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of people were killed by the cavalry."
"..."
Listening to the military situation relayed by the captain, the soldiers present, including King Qin Guang, felt like they were in a dream.
Not to mention the large ship that can gallop on land, even those war horses with wings have never been seen before.
You must know that the war horses equipped in the underworld army are only middle- and lower-level soul bodies, not as big as the Beilan soul beasts, and they are extremely rare in number.
Now that a war horse with wings suddenly appears, it sounds like a fantasy.
"Where did this team come from? This banner has never been heard in the Nine Netherworlds of the Underworld?" Li Jing asked doubtfully.
"Send Dai Zong to find out for me immediately!"
King Guang of Qin also felt that something was fishy, so he immediately sent someone to investigate.
But suddenly having an extra ally would be helpful to his current situation.
At this point, King Qin Guang suddenly raised his voice a bit higher: "Everyone, although we have suffered several defeats in succession, we should not just stay depressed like this."
"The soldiers are gone. I can ask the Lord to send reinforcements, but morale must not be lost!"
"From now on, no one in the army below me will be allowed to spread negative remarks, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
King Qin Guang, who was originally depressed, was suddenly awakened by this team, letting him know that he still had hope of winning.
What's more, he just encountered a little trouble temporarily. As long as he humbly sums up the lessons of failure, he will definitely make a comeback one day.
"The last general takes command!"
Seeing King Qin Guang regaining his strength, the soldiers in the audience were also very excited and all agreed.
At this time, Li Jing took the opportunity to step forward and suggested: "Your Majesty, our army is newly defeated, and its morale will inevitably be hit. I implore your Majesty to inform the entire army of this news. No matter who the other party is, as long as they are enemies of Ghost Domain,
That's our ally."
"We can actively publicize this victory and increase the confidence of the soldiers."
"As for the position, I think it can be overridden by being vague. We can neither recognize them nor deny them."
There is only one purpose in doing this, and that is to use the merits to enhance the military prestige of our army."
In fact, Li Jing's method is also hopeless. King Qin Guang's statement that he does not allow the spread of negative energy is not enough to eliminate the fear of war.
After all, the underworld army was so defeated that it was impossible not to become decadent.
Now only by setting an example and leveraging our efforts can we fundamentally make up for the shadow of defeat.
However, there were also strange voices among the generals present.
"The method is good, but isn't it too embarrassing? We use other people's achievements to cover up our defeat. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the gentry in Fengdu City will laugh to death."
"Yes, those Confucian scholars who only know how to criticize with words and writing may take the opportunity to cause trouble again."
"Oh, if we had been better ourselves, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
"..."
Faced with the different opinions below, it was ultimately King Qin Guang who had to make the decision.
"What are you afraid of? With me here, I'll see who dares to be presumptuous!"
After careful consideration, King Qin Guang decided to adopt Li Jing's suggestion immediately, despite all opinions.
"Just do what Li Jing said. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, let him come to me."
"I want to see if it's the oil from my eighteenth level of hell that's so warm, or their tongues that are hard."
"If you dare to question my king's decision, I think he wants to get into trouble."
After King Guang of Qin opened his mouth, this strategy of using merit to boost morale was implemented.
I am afraid that even Li Jing himself did not expect that even his seemingly harmless suggestion would rectify Cao Ning's name in the future.
Let him suddenly change from being a thief to being a hero in time, and becoming a hero that everyone respects.
After the official publicity, the Black Flag Army's achievements immediately spread within the underworld army.
Everyone from the general commanding the army to the grooms watching the horses knew that there was an invincible Black Flag Army not far away in the northwest.
Wherever they passed by, the ghost army all fled.
As time went by, the news spread more and more, and some people said that they were all heavenly soldiers and generals coming down to earth to help the underworld suppress the rebellion.
Some people also say that they are the mysterious army under Pluto, and are only controlled by Pluto.
Gradually, the Black Flag Army became the envy of everyone in the Underworld Army, and no matter who they were, they all aspired to be one of them.
As the matter continued to ferment, the news soon spread back to Fengdu City.
Legends about the Black Flag Army are spread everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the people in the city worship them as gods.
