According to the requirements of the Yao clan, no one can help Yang Sheng make a decision. At least until he comes up with an idea, no one will offer opinions on the matter. The same is true for the Ministry of War Yamen, and the same is true for Wu Kui who is following Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng was left alone in the study, pacing quietly without saying a word until late at night.
Early the next morning, Yang Sheng called the chief and adjutant of the Ministry of War Yamen to the study room and expressed his thoughts.
"Although Beiwu and our Nanyuan have long-standing grievances, I also have the dream of taking Beiwu and restoring the glory of Qiande Kingdom. But this dream should never have the shadow of the demon clan mixed in it. Otherwise, the reputation of Nanyuan Kingdom will be The entire human race will be completely stinked, and it will no longer be possible to integrate into it. In the end, it will only be difficult and forced to become a vassal of the demon race. This end can be imagined.
Therefore, I cannot agree to the Yaozu’s suggestion.”
After Yang Sheng said these words, the several chief and adjutants of the Ministry of War in front of him were obviously relieved. They were previously worried that Yang Sheng would bite the bullet in order to realize the long-cherished wish of every emperor since the founding of the Nanyuan Kingdom. He went to conspire with the demon clan to scheme against Beiwu. He even mentally prepared words of persuasion. Now it seems that Yang Sheng is very calm and has not been confused by the heavy profits.
"Your Majesty, your majesty is wise! The demon tribe's ambition is to play some tricks. This is like a joke in front of your majesty..."
People in the military were always blunt when flattering, and Yang Sheng never liked it. He waved his hand to interrupt the compliment, and then said: "What you need to consider now is what will happen after rejecting the demon clan. Xiyuan County is currently looking at It's still far from peace."
It’s easy to say no, but what are the consequences?
As soon as Yang Sheng's words came out, the three people from the Ministry of War Yamen quickly swallowed back their compliments. The chief officer of the Ministry of War Yamen took out a strategy and placed it in front of Yang Sheng.
"Your Majesty, the monsters cannot be trusted, but they must not be underestimated. The Ministry of War has come up with two plans based on the victory of Xiyuan County against the monsters last time and the specific situation this time. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Yang Sheng picked up the plan in front of him and asked the other party to explain it while flipping through it.
"So that Your Majesty will know. One of the strategies of the Ministry of War Yamen is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Continue to follow the previous defense strategy of Xiyuan County, and deploy the Bagua formation as a stepped defense line in the military camp, and then use rangers to disturb its supplies. In addition, this time the rear is stable and more troops can be sent to Xiyuan County, which should be able to achieve a better resistance effect than the last time. Of course, this is only possible on the premise that the demon clan will not officially start a national war with us. .
Secondly, if the demon clan starts a national war with us, then the only way left is to ask for help. The nearest Beiwu and Huayue are both available."
"Beiwu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Beiwu! Lip-dead-teeth Han Beiwu will not understand. Even if Beiwu does not understand, Huayue will never sit idly by. And if it really comes to the point of national war, it will definitely not be the case for the Haoyue Demon Kingdom. It’s an easy thing. What you have to fight for then is resilience and luck.”
These two military strategies are very rough and cannot even be called military strategies. They can be said to be a strategic direction to deal with. If they want to be implemented, a lot of details need to be filled in.
In addition, these two choices are too tough. In the end, the one who will be hurt the most must be Nanyuan Country. Unfortunately, Xiyuan County is the largest food producing area in Nanyuan Country. Although it was always robbed by monsters in the past, it still survived after all.
If 60% to 70% is left, the Nanyuan Kingdom will be much more comfortable. But if the war continues, let alone the national war that completely destroyed Xiyuan County, the scale of the previous one will be enough to make Xiyuan County's grain output sharply increase next year.
A 70% reduction or even no harvest is possible.
The monster clan can just pat their butts and walk away. But what about the Nanyuan Kingdom? It's like being cut open in a vital part. Although it won't kill you immediately, if you can't stop the bleeding, it will gradually weaken and eventually you will die.
One. Even if it is not destroyed by the demon clan, it is very likely to be divided and eaten by the surrounding human nations.
Several people saw the emperor's brows furrowed and remained silent, knowing that they were dissatisfied with both strategic directions.
"The Household Ministry has already been stretched thin before. Not to mention supporting the national war, it will be unsustainable to attack and defend Xiyuan County with the same intensity as before, and we need to divert food from the people.
Moreover, Saiwon County is a granary. Do you know what will happen if you continue to fight like this?
Both options are inappropriate."
Several people from the Ministry of War Yamen were in trouble.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to delay? But this cannot be delayed!"
Yang Sheng shook his head. Delay? He is not a fool. How could he not know that he can't delay?
"You can talk to them tomorrow and tell them our bottom line. Xiyuan County is the land of the Nanyuan Kingdom. Not even a cent can be given away. It cannot be exchanged. There is no room for negotiation on this point.
Since they took the initiative to send an envoy here, and the person who came was a high priest, it was enough to show that they attached great importance to this matter. There must be something behind Xiyuan County that they must get. Throw it to them and see what they do.
Take it. We’ll see each other again and we’ll do it.”
Yang Sheng couldn't think of a better way for the time being. But he didn't continue racking his brains. What he was seizing was the initiative that the demon clan took the initiative to find. If the demon clan here refused and continued to fight, then why send
Where are the envoys coming? Not to mention helping to conquer the Beiwu Kingdom? It is so easy to conquer the Beiwu Kingdom? Why not just attack the Nanyuan Kingdom after spending so much effort?
Therefore, Yang Sheng felt that the demon clan was also trying to find out what they were talking about. Even the two strategies for replacing Xiyuan County showed no sincerity at all. They were perfunctory and bluffing at first glance. However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense at all.
The next day, the Ministry of War Yamen directly relayed Yang Sheng's words and directly rejected the two offers offered by the Yao Clan yesterday in exchange for Xiyuan County.
As a result, the demon clan acted very strongly and immediately threatened to leave Yuanding Imperial City, leaving Nanyuan Kingdom to wait for the war to come.
To be honest, these fierce words were quite bluffing, but in the end, these monsters did not leave the imperial city, but returned to the negotiation table angrily, but demanded to talk directly to the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom.
But after Nanyuan Kingdom has obtained and confirmed its initiative, how can you still do whatever you say? The emperor is also what you say when you see him?
So the two sides just froze. The delay lasted for seven days. During this period, the demon clan even really left Yuanding Imperial City, which once shocked the Nanyuan Kingdom. But in the end, Yang Sheng remained calm.
Lu Yie. In the end, the demon clan team turned back before they had gone a hundred miles. With a livid face, they handed a new strategy to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and asked him to deliver it to the Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom on his behalf.
At this point, the battle between the Monster Clan and the Nanyuan Kingdom is temporarily led by the Nanyuan Kingdom.
But although the Yaozu once again gave their price, the price still made him feel hot when it came into the hands of Emperor Yang Sheng, and he once again fell into entanglement.
