"If you want me to tell you"

He let out a breath, as if he had drawn a sword and said: "The time is right to destroy the Xia Kingdom! The more the Xia people think they are saved, the more they think Jingguo can protect them, the more we can defeat them in one battle

Their backbone!”

There is not a single word "kill" in the whole novel, and his demeanor is by no means vicious.

But such sharpness has the power to intimidate others!

Cao Jiu led the troops lightly: "What General Chongxuan said... is very much in line with my wishes."

"The more people in Xia see the bright future, the more we will shatter their illusions and drive them to the end of their rope!"

"I will not retreat."

He put his hands on the case and repeated again: "Unless His Majesty's imperial edict is handed over to me, I will never retreat."

He stood up and said calmly: "Get ready for a decisive battle."

The atmosphere was completely different from the military discussion on the east bank of Lianjiang River.

In Tongyang City, there was a lot of noise at this moment.

The civil servants and generals of the Great Xia Empire could not suppress their excitement.

Ever since Qi State officially declared war on November 7 last year, the dark clouds that had been hanging over people's hearts seemed to have dispersed at once! It was as clear as the sky at this time.

No, the clouds are not just from last year to this year?

It started after the Battle of Xingyueyuan ended in October 3919 of the Daoist calendar. The Yitian Temple established by Jingguo in Xiaguo was dismantled overnight.

The Xia State suddenly had to face the Qi State, the overlord of the Eastern Region, on its own.

War was not the choice of the Xia people in the age of Shenwu. Although the government and the public kept talking about advancing eastward, the real top officials of the Xia State knew that they were never ready.

But who will give you time to prepare?

After the battle for hegemony that year ended... in this vast land, the beginning and end of the war had nothing to do with the Xia Kingdom itself!

It has always been a matter between Qi and Jing.

This time, the Qi State and the Mu State took advantage of each other, and there was actually an implicit coercion.

However, Jingguo was still strong. At one time, he showed the courage to fight one against two, and actually used the battle of Xingyueyuan to test the quality of Qi.

Qi State first defeated Xingyue Yuan, and then helped Mu State steal Liyuan City, which started a year-long war between Mu State and Sheng State. At that time, the eyes of Jing State and Sheng State were all on the famous generals of Mu State.

No one expected that it would be Cao Jie who was banned from Linzi and captured Li Yuan.

Thinking about it afterwards, it was really a move to use the world as a tactic and steal the sky to change the situation.

The tacit understanding between Emperor Qi and the Empress of Mu Kingdom lies in that hand.

Frankly speaking, although most people in the Xia Kingdom pinned the outcome of this Qi-Xia war on Jing Guo, the country's ultimate hope in fighting a protracted war is to hold on until Jing Guo goes south.

But no one would think that the large-scale war launched by Jing Mu in Sheng Kingdom could be completed within three months.

After all, it was a collision between the two overlords. After all, it was the Mu Kingdom that started the war. The empress showed off the momentum of riding a horse in the middle region. How could she not have any trump cards that could determine the winner?

In terms of objective conditions, Jingguo is the most powerful country that has officially opened the era of national institutions and dominates the central region. It has been dominant for a long time, is the same age as the New Era, and has an unfathomable foundation.

The sudden westward expansion war launched by Jing State also greatly accelerated the pace of the Jingmu War. Who doesn't know that the Northwest Five Kingdoms Alliance also secretly has the support of Jing State?

Otherwise, why would a small country in a bitter cold land develop a strong army in the first place?

The powerful ordnance purchased by those five countries in Jingguo every year can barely cover the cost. When can there be such benevolence and righteousness between countries?

It's just that Jingguo's support for the Alliance of the Five Northwest Countries was secretive. His support for Xiaguo was blatant. His protection of vassal states like Shengguo was blatant.

The situation in the world is like this, and the top officials of the Xia Kingdom have long been aware of the situation.

The more hostile they are to Qi State, the more support they can get from Jing State. That's why the voice of marching eastward continues from both the government and the public.

Although there are always voices saying that the roots of Jingguo are rotten and the old trees will wither, this ancient and great central empire

Still use this scene of the animal husbandry battle to once again declare his strength!

As for the result of the Jingmu War, for Xia Guo, it was completely a matter of time before the clouds cleared and the moon came out!

In this situation where everyone is happy, Xi Meng's house, which he hurriedly walked into the meeting hall, was a little... out of place.

People looked at him.

The civil and military ministers of the Xia Kingdom were guarding the front line of Tongyang City. The ministers, who were determined to fight for their country, could not hide their strange looks at him.
