Douluo: The Peerless Sun, Moon, and Yuhao

Chapter 178 Looking westward for another year, Master Wang has ten regiments left

Mingdu, the imperial palace.

The discussion on "whether to launch retaliatory actions against the Heavenly Soul Empire" has entered the final stage.

The attitude of the army is basically needless to ask, and it doesn’t really want to go to war immediately, and it doesn’t make much difference where to train.

If it is true...then you have to do a good job of mobilization and stockpiling checks first. Although the results of the annual self-inspection and report show that the stockpile is in good condition, but the family knows their own affairs, and if they don't squeeze the water, the logistics accounts will definitely be chaotic. can drive people crazy.

Some people say that the army is the most opposed to war, while others say that the army is the most supportive of war. These two sentences are correct from different perspectives. The former is because the army is the front line facing heavy casualties, and the latter is because The military offers quick promotions almost only during wartime.

As for the ministers in the Mingdu Imperial Palace, the final decision basically only depends on the final opinion of the civil servants.

Now, this result has surfaced. After all, it is basically difficult to find a firm anti-war faction in the Sun Moon Empire—except for the first emperor, that is, He Caitou and his father, who can be called old friends of the people of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

From the emperor to the common people, the difference in the attitudes of the vast majority of people is only reflected in "fanaticism for the war-support the war-no support or no opposition-you can fight if you want, don't spill blood on me" That's all.

In the entire hall, the most resolute objection is the Minister of Finance, the big housekeeper who needs to wipe the buttocks of the poached basket.

But when he found that no one else seemed willing to stand up and oppose him, he resigned to his fate.

The only thing that is a little surprising is that Hall Master Hongchen, who had been pretending to be dead in the past, rarely showed any support, and demanded to put pressure on the Heavenly Soul Empire to punish the Noumenon Sect—everyone knew that this was actually It is simply impossible to do.

As for the reason, everyone has heard more or less rumors in the past two days that someone did something stupid to the wrong person in Shrek City.

"Hey, although my words shouldn't be of much use, I still want to remind you." The Minister of Finance said with a tired face after he stepped out of the line.

"Although we are nominally seeking an explanation for punishing the Heavenly Soul Empire for Haotianzong's attack on Mingde Hall, I believe that you should know who the real culprit is."

"I hope everyone will grasp the scale well, don't make trouble out of control, and don't deceive yourself into it and find the wrong person to attack..."

However, there was a sneer from the line of ministers.

"Just rest assured, no matter if it's the Clear Sky School or the Noumenon School, it's definitely his Heavenly Soul Empire's right! There's a wrong and a debt, so find a good person!"

"That's right. A domestic dog will run away after biting someone. We can't casually enter other people's yards and overturn his dog's kennel, so keep an eye on the dog's owner! Tell him that if he doesn't care about his own dog, the price will be paid by the owner." Compensation! If you are really stubborn, then consider whether you should teach the owner a lesson for his dog!"

"It's been over, at most it's just a wicked servant who made revenge for his master outside, dogs and dogs are too much."

Seeing the commotion in the hall, the chancellor couldn't help but smile wryly at his colleagues.

The owner of the dog... If the righteous master is not here, he will be stubborn, but if any of the titled Douluo of the Haotian School or the Noumenon School is here, these arrogant colleagues dare to say these words without changing their faces, he will definitely be full of enthusiasm. Respectfully help them with their funeral affairs.

However, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.

"Cough... um."

The old emperor coughed lightly, and the hall, which had been turning to the vegetable market, calmed down again.

"Since your words are sincere and there is no difference in meaning, let's follow the preface."

"The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group still fulfills the duty of guarding Mingdu, the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Group remains unchanged, and there are only three remaining of the five great protectors. We will choose two of them to move. The rest of the standing army will be mobilized according to this routine."

"The rest of the soul engineer group will choose three out of five. The location is based on the suggestions of the Qing family, and it is set up near the old place of our country under the jurisdiction of the Tianhun Empire. Every time I think of these remnants of our country who have groaned under the iron hoof of the Tianhun Empire for more than [-] years, I look forward to Wang Shidong. If I don’t get it, I feel like a knife is twisting my heart.”

Two soul engineer regiments of the Hand of the Country Protector, three numbered soul engineer regiments, this is already half of the standing army of the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineer regiments, not to mention the corresponding proportion of ordinary army (cannon) teams (gray ) will be mobilized accordingly—although the number of the former may be less than one percent of the latter, the fighting power in field battles may be ten times that of the latter.

In this era when soul masters and soul mentors are fighting each other, the army formed by ordinary people may only play a little role as a gendarmerie to maintain stability, and go to the countryside to catch the chickens of the fellow villagers.

Now that the decision has been made, it means that the state organs of the Sun Moon Empire will be in full swing for this action.

The location of the military exercise is near the former land ceded by the Sun Moon Empire, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the Sky Soul Empire, in the last continental war. This is a deadly place.

(Note: It is a very confusing thing whether the Sun Moon Empire has cut off the land or not. The saying in "Spirit Eyed Boy [-]" is "Although the Sun Moon Empire was defeated, it was not completely invaded", "Douluo Dalu No. [-]" "One College One" also mentions that the Sun and Moon Empire survived after cede land and pay compensation; but in fact, there is a saying in the book that although the Sun and Moon Empire was defeated, it preserved its original land by provoking conflicts and its own strength)
(What's even more frank is that Tang San mentioned in the introduction that "the continental collision caused by the crustal change more than 4000 years ago not only doubled the area of ​​the Douluo Continent", that is to say, the area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire exceeds the sum of the three kingdoms , as a result, in Chapter 1, it became "the Sun Moon Continent from the west has a vast area and rich resources, and is slightly smaller than the Douluo Continent, but it has only one country, which is the Sun Moon Empire", and even the area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire has changed. into a quantum superposition state)
(Synthesizing the full text, I still tend to think that the Sun and Moon Empire ceded land during the first war; but this has produced another wonderful point: Dou Ling and the Sun and Moon do not border each other, and Xingluo and the Sun and Moon are formed in a natural way. The Dou Mountain Range is the dividing line, that is to say, all the land ceded by the Sun Moon Empire is given to the Heavenly Soul Empire——Three Kingdoms were fought to the end, and all the land was taken away by the Heavenly Soul, whose strength is only in the middle!)
An exercise that concentrated half of its standing forces in the old place of the Sun Moon Empire can be imagined in another way. If a certain eastern power claims to use 50 troops and the corresponding navy and air force to conduct exercises in Hu Jian or the Northeast, it will not only be surprised by allies, sleep Before you know it, it will become the whole world.

On the dragon chair, the old emperor closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then said again:
"With such a posture to frighten the Heavenly Soul Empire, can the direction of Xingluo be safe? Can the Mingdou Mountain Range withstand the pressure?"

Ministers of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs came out to answer:

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Mingdou Mountain Range will still have two standing soul engineer groups stationed there. Even if Emperor Xingluo wants to attack insanely, he will not be able to cross Mingdou Mountain Range."

This is true. If there is a Second Continental War to be fought, there seem to be two warring directions - the junction of the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul or Star Luo Empire, but due to the existence of the Mingdou Mountains, in fact there is only the first The direction is optional. Hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the Mingdou Mountains to attack is unimaginable for any country. This was also confirmed in the last continental war.

The Sun Moon and Star Luo Empire may be able to support one or two soul engineer groups to cross the Mingdou Mountain Range, but it is absolutely impossible to support the logistics of more than [-] people. The Mingdou Mountain Range is a two-way barrier. As long as you don't want to fight, you can Both are equally reassuring.Although it is not impossible to crack this kind of logistical black hole - for example, use a few nine-level custom-installed soul guidance shells to blow up a section of the mountain.

"Since that's the case, I believe that the ministers will never let me down. How to implement the specific rules, the military and civil affairs must be carefully communicated, and don't make people laugh."

"For the Three Kingdoms and Shrek, you must inform them in place, and don't let them misunderstand—but if they don't listen to good advice, then let them go."

"Important people who are still stranded in the Three Kingdoms, you should weigh whether you should be recalled...Prince!"

Although he remained calm on the surface, Xu Tianran, who was already excited in his heart, immediately clasped his fists on the wheelchair: "My son is here!"

"I'm old and frail, and I can't travel far. This time, you will supervise the army."

"My son...frightened, how can military and political affairs go beyond the arbitrariness?"

After going through the routine process of three words and three concessions, seeing the impatient expression on the tired father's face, Xu Tianran agreed with the ecstasy in his heart.

This is an opportunity to command half of the standing army of the Sun Moon Empire in name, and it has been witnessed by the old emperor and all the ministers. The justifiable grant of military power also represents the emperor's attitude of "handover".

"Names and utensils are the only ones, and you can't fake people." Now Xu Tianran has both, although fundamentally he is only acting on behalf of his father's authority, it is actually very vain.

"After this incident, what else can my good brothers use to argue with me?"

Xu Tianran knew that this time he had to try his best to do things as perfect as possible, otherwise the backlash would be equally serious.

And, now that the decision has been made, some of the promises he had made with the Holy Spirit Cult and the tiger had to be implemented.

…………

Shrek Academy, outside the west gate.

Huo Yuhao shook hands with Xiao Hongchen, Lin Xi and other exchange students to say goodbye one after another.

"Leave just like that, don't stay for a few more days? Besides Xu Sanshi, I actually made some other friends in Shrek, but I didn't have time to introduce them to you."

"Then there's no need. I stayed in the home library for so many days, which is actually much more than the original arrangement."

Huo Yuhao looked at the smiling Hongchen who still had some regrets on his face in front of him, and when he thought of the way he put his arm around Xu Sanshi's shoulders and introduced "This is Xu Sanshi, my best buddy here", he almost didn't tense up. Farewell expression.

It's an outrageous development, but the two of them say that they are wine and meat friends, and there is really no sense of disobedience. After all, Xu Sanshi is really good at playing...

"I don't know what's urgent with the hall master, so let me hurry up and return. Anyway, in the past two days, I have almost dealt with the things that should be arranged and communicated. I believe you will be fine."

As Huo Yuhao was talking, he recalled Jing Hongchen's instructions dictated by Mingdu's special envoy two days ago asking him to "go back to Mingdu as soon as possible, but don't be too abnormal to make people suspicious", and his intuition told him that something might be wrong.

And why only remind me of one?So many exchange students Xiao Hongchen and Lin Xi are still here, don't you care?There is no corresponding arrangement?

"Tsk, okay, I knew you couldn't come to see us on purpose, I hope you will spend more time next time you come to Shrek, and it's best not to leave in a hurry."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen's squinting eyes with a strange expression on his face, "you understand".

"That's right, don't talk nonsense."

However, it is indeed time for Huo Yuhao to return to Mingdu. Shrek's research literature on soul beasts is indeed very useful, and he even has a preliminary idea, just waiting for a chance to verify it.

In other words...he had to go back to Mingdu to communicate with Jing Hongchen and the others, and get resources for the first stage of research on the soul.

Xiao Hongchen, Lin Xi and others waved goodbye to Huo Yuhao who left in a hurry, but Huo Yuhao couldn't help praying for them silently when he thought of Jing Hongchen's somewhat abnormal order.

"Hope they're all right..."
