There are countless route markers drawn on this dragon-skin map, among which important towns and extremely important strategic locations are all marked with eye-catching red dots. Dangerous places that require a large number of troops are also marked with a pattern of soldiers.
"Not long ago, the armies of the thirty-three kingdoms that were originally attached to our Canglan Empire accumulated 17 million troops on the borders of our empire. They plotted against the westernmost border town of our Canglan Empire and stared covetously."
"If the coalition of thirty-three countries really launches an attack on our Canglan Empire, then there will definitely be a boundless war in the westernmost territory. By then, the people of our empire will be bleeding like rivers and mountains of corpses."
"Even if the empire sends a large army to fight the enemy at this time, the people in the western territory will definitely be caught in the flames of war for several years. Even if the battle is finally won, it will be a huge disaster for the people.
catastrophe."
Han Jiulin said: "Although these kingdoms affiliated with the Canglan Empire have assembled an alliance army of 17 million, they should not be underestimated."
"But today's Canglan Empire is at its peak. Not only are there a lot of cultivators, but the king-level experts in the empire account for more than half of the Shenwu Continent, not to mention the various factions under the major princes.
Master."
"Even if these kingdom coalition forces can gain some advantages in the early stages of invading the Canglan Empire, the Canglan Empire's national power will definitely be able to suppress them all in the end. In this case, what are their intentions?
Aren't you afraid that Emperor Canglan will get angry and send troops to destroy his country?"
Han Hongji nodded and said: "Jiulin, you have really changed your mind in the past two years, and you are also able to see things sharply.
Yes, your question is also something that I have always been unable to figure out."
"Most of the countries that have gathered are third-order civilizations. If Emperor Canglan is really furious because of this matter, I am afraid that these countries will not be able to escape the danger of annihilation, unless... there is a bigger conspiracy behind them.
backing!"
"It's impossible for them not to understand this truth, but in the end they still gathered a coalition force and prepared to invade the territory of the Canglan Empire. So I still can't figure out where did these countries get the courage and confidence?
What is their backing?"
After Han Jiulin and Han Hongji finished speaking, they both couldn't help but look at the old prince sitting on the seat of the study room.
When it comes to marching formations and battlefield planning, Han Hongji is certainly an excellent general. But when it comes to analyzing the overall situation of the government and focusing on the changes in the situation, there is no doubt that the name of the old prince must be in the situation.
Only powerful ministers who have spent most of their lives mediating can see things most clearly.
King Qinglong pondered for a moment and then looked at Han Jiulin and Han Hongji and slowly said: "The Canglan Empire is about to change. I guess that within the next few years, there will be a high-ranking prince in the empire."
Raise an army and rebel."
"Could it be that the Giant Spirit King has finally lost control and is planning to seize the throne of Emperor Canglan?"
As soon as Han Hongji heard the old prince's judgment, he immediately thought that the leader behind the kingdom's coalition forces might be the powerful Giant Spirit King.
There are only eight hereditary kings in the Canglan Empire, and among them, the Giant Spirit King is the most powerful.
Although the Qinglong King, Danheyu King, Sixiang King and other royal palaces are also extremely powerful, they do not have the strength and confidence to overthrow the imperial court and seize the throne.
As for the few princes with no real power awarded by Emperor Canglan, they have empty titles. Not to mention overthrowing the imperial court, even if they were asked to rebel against Emperor Canglan, they probably would not have the courage.
King Qinglong said: "The Giant Spirit King has mastered more than 30% of the army and horses of the Canglan Empire. He is also the top master of the Canglan Empire, and he is a member of the same royal family as the Canglan Empire. It is only a matter of time to seize the throne. There is nothing good about it."
Unexpected.”
Han Hongji said: "But after thinking about it, I still think that considering the strength of the Giant Spirit King in the empire, if you want to seize the throne of Emperor Canglan, you don't actually need to go through so much trouble. Although it is not possible to directly mutiny to seize power.
Is that okay?”
King Qinglong stared at Han Hongji who spoke at the side and shook his head, then snorted coldly and said:
"Hong Ji, you are totally wrong in thinking this way. The most inviolable person in this world is not Emperor Canglan, but the supreme imperial power!"
"Even though the Giant Spirit King now has all the power in the world, if you want to take the last step to seize the throne, you must think twice before taking action. Otherwise, if you make the wrong move, the final result will be catastrophic."
"Although the Giant Spirit King is tyrannical, the power in the hands of Emperor Canglan is by no means general. At least the three most powerful special forces of the Canglan Empire are in the hands of Emperor Canglan."
"If the Giant Spirit King rashly starts a war with Emperor Canglan at this time, the outcome is really difficult to predict.
Therefore, according to my opinion, if this giant spirit king wants to seize the throne, he must implement at least three plans."
"This first step of the plan is to firmly control the kingdoms surrounding the Canglan Empire in our own hands. Although these small countries are not worth mentioning individually compared to the Canglan Empire, if they are gathered together, they are a powerful force.
A huge force that cannot be ignored.”
"What's more important is that these small countries are not controlled by the imperial power within the Canglan Empire, and they can control them as long as they have interests.
Now it seems that the Giant Spirit King may have taken this first step in secret."
"This second step is to secretly win over the powerful princes in the empire, so that even if they don't help when the Giant Spirit King raises his army, at least they will not confront the Giant Spirit King and become resistance to his rebellion.
"
"This last step is to take control of the major sects and underworld forces in the imperial capital. Although these forces have no military power, they control many important resources and spiritual masters. To a certain extent, they are also one of the great variables.
"
"If these forces cannot be controlled or completely won over, the Giant Spirit King may fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides in the future after he raises his troops."
"When these three steps of the plan are completed, it will be time for the Giant Spirit King to raise an army to seize the throne from Emperor Canglan. However, if you want to achieve these three steps of the plan, it will not happen overnight, and it will not be possible in just a few years.
"
After hearing what King Qinglong said, Han Hongji couldn't help laughing loudly and said:
"If the Giant Spirit King really wants to seize the throne of Emperor Canglan, our Qinglong Palace will definitely go to help him after he raises his army! In fact, I have long disliked that dog emperor, and I look forward to killing him every day.
My second brother and second sister-in-law take revenge!"
"reckless!"
Qinglong Dynasty stared at Han Hongji coldly, then looked at Han Jiulin and said, "Jilin, what do you think about this matter?"
