The parliament hall of Qinglan City is not small. The square room is made of blue marble. There is a white pear wood desk in the middle, which is used as a place for the person presiding over the meeting to speak. The seats around it are from bottom to top.
Distributed in a staircase shape.
Because Li Yubai was diligent in government affairs, the city lord's palace in the past would organize all-hands meetings every three days to discuss and decide on all matters in the city. Therefore, the design of the entire council hall was mostly for practical functions. At this time, it can also be used as a temporary command center.
Ensure the smooth transmission of intelligence and military orders.
"Brother Liu, why are there so many people here? Could it be that all the officers in the Eastern Military Region have been summoned?"
As soon as Li Mu walked into the hall, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The extremely spacious parliament hall was already full of people. Most of them were wearing military uniforms, and the epaulettes representing their military ranks were more intimidating than the last.
Li Mu, who had the rank of major general, saw at least a dozen people.
You must know that the military ranks of the Cangyun Empire are extremely strict. Ordinary soldiers must first be promoted to captain, then captain, and then commander. At this level, they can already be responsible for the defense of a city. This is also the rank that ordinary soldiers can achieve.
limit.
If you want to go one step further and obtain the rank of General Soldier, you must first reach the Dan-Jie realm in cultivation, and you also need to accumulate a large amount of military merit in actual combat. Once you reach the level of General Soldier, you will have the power to garrison the empire for a hundred
He has the qualifications of eight main city-level cities and can truly command thousands of troops.
Above the generals are the general-level military ranks, which are divided into major generals, lieutenant generals and generals. People at this level are already at the top of the imperial military system. The entire Eastern Military Region only has a few dozen people in total. Like Li Mu before
The Liu Chong I have seen has the rank of general.
Above the general level, there is also the position of marshal. There are four marshals in the Cangyun Empire, who guard the four sides of the empire, namely Liu Yi of the Eastern Military District, Ji Tianyu of the Southern Military District, Nie Shun of the Northern Military District, and Xue Enjin of the Western Military District.
The geographical location is special and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the current royal family, so there is no marshal position.
If you want to become a marshal, in addition to having extremely strong cultivation, military merit, the family power behind it, and the combat effectiveness of the troops you command are all key.
It can be said that the four marshals all came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Even the Huangfu family, which is the royal family, did not dare to be too arrogant in front of these four marshals. They even did not need to kneel down when they came to see the king.
If you give a big gift, you can treat it as a normal person.
"The defense of Qinglan City is a battle related to the life and death of the empire. Basically, all the generals from the Eastern Military Region came here except those who need to be stationed at important passes. That old guy Huangfu Yi in the northwest has been trying to annex our territory. Princess Huangfu and the Ji family
The troops are fighting with all their strength, otherwise there will be more people coming."
Liu Long's explanation revealed the current dire situation. The Penglai Immortal Kingdom, known as the strongest fleet on the east sea, was galloping towards them, but the empire was still at war. The Eastern Military Region and the Southern Military Region were stronger than the Northwest in terms of strength and material reserves.
There are two major military regions, but they cannot fight on two fronts for a long time.
During the civil war, the existence of Huangfu Qing, an orthodox princess, was needed to appeal to more people in the empire to recognize the ugly face of the original royal family. The Southern Military Region commanded by Ji Tianyu relied on this to single-handedly contain Huangfu Yi's army.
So if the defense battle of Qinglan City fails and the Penglai Army successfully lands, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction. Even if the Cangyun Empire survives, it will inevitably give up most of its territory and even become a colony of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom.
Such a result not only conforms to the goals of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, but also benefits the Zitong and "Blood" organizations who contributed to the flames. Even Huangfu Yi was finally able to get rid of the control of the Yunlan Sect and truly gain the power of the leader of a country.
But the only sacrifices were made by tens of millions of people in the empire. Whether they were massacred in tug-of-war or enslaved by the enemy in the colonies, once Li Mu and others failed, too many people in the entire empire would be in trouble.
This huge empire that has been based in the immortal world for thousands of years will completely become the object of carving up by other forces. These obvious truths are thrown behind the minds of the dignitaries who support Huangfu Yi. As long as they are prosperous and wealthy, the country's dignity and
What does the life and death of the people have to do with them?
Just when Li Mu was thinking a lot, a deep voice sounded, and the entire parliament hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone instinctively turned towards the rostrum, their bodies straightened, and they clenched their right fists and hit their chests. This was Cang.
The Yun Empire's standard military salute allowed so many big figures present to salute at the same time. It was the commander-in-chief of this defense battle, the Imperial General Liu Chong.
The lord of Qinglan City is Li Yubai, but as a monk and a politician, Li Mu is good at managing the city rather than commanding large-scale battles. In this regard, there is no one in the entire Cangyun Empire who is more suitable than the Liu family, and the Liu family
As the eldest son of Liu and the son of Liu Yi, one of the four marshals of the empire, Chong naturally did his part and shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading this life-and-death defense battle.
"Colleagues, we have worked together for many years, and everyone knows my temper, Liu Chong. I won't say more about my vain words. In this defense battle, what we have to face is the Penglai fleet, which is known as the invincible in the East China Sea. They
The 30,000 soldiers are all monks in the Dan Formation Realm. They have powerful warships and are escorted by strong men in the Tribulation Realm."
"And so far, the total number of troops we have been able to arrive in time does not exceed 300,000. There are only more than 3,000 monks above the pill formation realm. In addition, that old bastard Huangfu Yi in the northwest is still holding back our combat power.
, a large amount of materials and supplies could not be delivered at the first time, and the gap between the two sides was so huge that it completely exceeded any of our previous battles."
What Liu Chong said was completely true at the time. Listening to the somewhat harsh situation report, Li Mu also clenched his fists. In his heart, he hated Huangfu Yi and his son for pushing the empire into the abyss for their own selfish interests.
With all the purple eyes and "blood" organizations, the originally prosperous and prosperous empire was shrouded in flames of war overnight.
"But are we afraid? Impossible! There are the children of my Liu family present, as well as many old brothers who have fought with me Liu Chong for many years. Countless enemies have died under our swords. What do those bastards in Penglai Immortal Kingdom think?
To defeat us is simply wishful thinking."
"Three days, only three days. After three days, they will be at a disadvantage of having no supplies, and our reinforcements will continue to flow. By then, we will not only have to defend Qinglan City, but also all the island barbarians.
Stay, cut off the heads of the so-called Penglai Ten Men, place them in front of Huangfu Yi, and tell him the consequences of betraying the people of the empire."
Liu Chong's words seemed to have magical power. The emotions of the military leaders present were instantly ignited. For a large-scale battle, morale is too important. This is why outpost ambush battles are arranged at huge risks.
The reason is that the morale in the parliament hall at this time has obviously reached its peak.
