The strongest Marquis in history

Sai Jiantuo said: "First, order the local slave owners to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, order the slave owners along the way to gather all the troops and slaves, all retreat into the manor dock, and refuse to give Qi any help. Even Let the slave owners from all over the place send troops to raid Qi's army and stop them every step of the way, causing all kinds of troubles to Qi."

Chandra asked, "What about the second one?"

Sai Jiantuo said again: "Second, with the general as the commander, lead the army and go to Wangfoguan to guard. Wangfoguan is the only place that leads to our Giant Elephant City, and it is also a pass that we can guard."

"The topography of Wangfoguan is very special. On the mountain road, eight checkpoints have been established, which can be blocked continuously. If the first checkpoint falls, you can also use the second checkpoint to resist it. Especially the checkpoints one after another The existence of Wang Qi can cut off the soldiers under Wang Qi's command, which is more conducive to our defense and counterattack."

Wangfoguan is said to be the birthplace of the world-honored Wangfo, so it is called Wangfoguan.

This is an important place in Baixiang Kingdom.

Many monks will come here for pilgrimage, hoping to get enlightenment and help from Wang Buddha.

Chandala heard Sai Jiantuo's words and said: "Prime Minister, how many troops do you need for the general to lead troops to Wangfo Pass?"

Sai Jiantuo said: "The general will dispatch [-] elite troops for this battle."

"what!"

Chandra exclaimed.

Somewhat shocked.

Chandala immediately said: "You must know that the current strength of the Giant Elephant City is only 8 people. If you give the general 5 people, there will only be 3 people left in the Giant Elephant City."

"If Kali Posuo is not defeated, with more than 2 of his elite returning, even if the general takes away 5, there will still be [-]. But now, there are fewer guarding troops."

"With few troops, how can the Giant Elephant City be preserved?"

"Prime Minister, we have considered the front line, but also the stability of the rear."

Chandra said: "Prime Minister, your consideration is still inappropriate, and you don't care about the end."

Sai Jiantuo looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong."

"What do you mean?"

Chandra asked.

Sai Jiantuo's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if Wang Fo can't hold the gate. The army of Qi State will drive straight into the territory of the Giant Elephant City, then the next step, the imperial city will not be able to hold it. Qi State is here. Could it be that we rely on the imperial city to resist? As for the troops on the front line, there are only 3 people left in the Giant Elephant City, and according to the veterans, 3 people are more than enough."

Chandra frowned upon hearing this.

Sai Jianda's words made Chandala feel more worried and have a bad premonition.

Chandra said: "Prime Minister, has it really reached this point? You must know that Qi State captured Jieri City, and then sent troops again after such a long time, their strength is not very good."

It is true that Chandra was apprehensive, even apprehensive, about this battle.But from the bottom of his heart, Chandala still believes that although Qi is strong, it is not to the point of being irresistible.

Sai Jiantuo's cheeks twitched, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Chandra's words are really weird.

Is this an emperor?

Is Qi weak?

In desperation, Sai Jiantuo could only slowly explain: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Qi State must be extremely powerful. The simplest example, the army of the Qi State arrived at Jieri City, and easily destroyed Franco The strength of the army has taken control of Jieri City."

"The reason why the emperor of Qi, Wang Qi, did not continue to march after taking Jieri City was not because he was incapable, but because Wang Qi was unwilling. The veteran has carefully understood the governance of Jieri City. The reason why Qi did not move is because Qi The country has been strengthening its control over Jieri City, making the entire Jieri City the foundation of Qi State."

"In the past, although the Haixi Empire controlled Jieri City, it never reformed the area."

"Qi's emperor, Wang Qi, is different. He has made changes from top to bottom, from Jieri City to the local villages, so that until now, Jieri City has been solidified, and the people support Qi State."

"Under such a premise, Qi State suddenly sent troops to the north. Look at the situation when Qi State seized Tianlong, Yufu and Chongshan City this time. Tianlong City and Yufu City fell directly without our help."

"In Chongshan City, even if Kali Posuo appeared quietly, Qi State was caught off guard. However, in the end, it was easily defeated by Wang Qi, and Wang Qi even killed everyone directly."

"This is too scary."

Sai Jiantuo said: "Because of the news of Chongshan City, the whole country is already in panic. Many people are very tense in their hearts, and Qi has more fear."

Chandra sighed, and then he understood.

He was originally worried because of the fall of the three cities, but he was not very afraid. He really couldn't hold on at this moment.

Qi State, menacing.

Chandra asked, "Prime Minister, what about the third method?"

Sai Jiantuo said sternly, "White Elephant Kingdom and Saduo Kingdom are hostile. But the people from Qi Kingdom are here, not only to target our White Elephant Kingdom, but also to target Saduo Kingdom."

"Once our White Elephant Kingdom is destroyed, the next one to be destroyed will be the Saduo Kingdom."

"At the moment, we and Saduo Kingdom are bitter and bitter. From the original enemy, we have become comrades who fight against the enemy together. Please, Your Majesty, arrange envoys to go to Saduo Kingdom to lobby the emperor of Saduo Kingdom to quell the war, and the two sides cease fighting and stop fighting. , unite against Qi.”

"It won't be too late to fight again after defeating Qi State and destroying Qi State's army. Qi State is not only the enemy of our Baixiang State, but also the enemy of Satuo State."

Sai Jiantuo spoke again and proposed a different strategy.

This strategy can be described as bold.

"No, absolutely not."

Chandra flicked his sleeves and flatly refused.

He has a deep enmity with Sa Tuo country. You must know that in the past, he and Sa Tuo country were evenly matched, and the strength of Baixiang country is not weak.In recent years, the White Elephant Kingdom has lost three cities in a row, and the northern border has been affected one after another.

Chandhara wished he could directly destroy the kingdom of Satuo.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability.

After hearing this, Saijian Tuo shook his head helplessly. He looked at Prana Dado and nodded.

Boronada said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the current situation has reached the most dangerous time. If you don't make sufficient preparations, if you fail to defend, then the White Elephant Kingdom may be destroyed. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Sai Jiantuo continued: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the country of Baixiang, we should let go of the hatred of the past. Now we must fight with all our strength, otherwise it will be difficult to win."

Chandala was very helpless, he said a little irritablely: "Forget it, forget it, prime minister, you can arrange it."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Sai Jiantuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, Chandra relented.

As long as people can be arranged to lobby Saduo Kingdom, once Saduo Kingdom sends troops south, it will become easier to resist Qi Kingdom this time.

Chandra asked, "Is there anything else?"

"there is none left!"

Sejianda and Pranada replied in unison.

"Go down."

Chandra waved his hand.

Sejian Tuo and Prana Dado bowed and saluted, then turned and left.When the two walked out of the hall, Sai Jiantuo looked at Boronada, and said in a deep voice: "General, this time we are going to war with Qi. Although the old man has a judgment, you are more accurate in judging the army. You I think how confident we are in the next battle that we can win this battle."

"It's hard!"

Boronada sighed, and said: "Teacher, let me tell you the truth, even if I go to guard Wangfo Pass, I have no confidence. The reason is very simple, whether it is the artillery fire or the elite level of the soldiers, Qi is far behind. Overtake us."

"Now, we can only do our best."

"In addition, the only way is to mobilize more slave owners, so that slave owners from all over the world will support us, and send sufficient sources of soldiers and weapons to Wangfoguan so that I can firmly block it."

When Sai Jiantuo heard this, he sighed deeply, and he solemnly said: "General, this battle is entirely up to you. Please rest assured, after I go back, I will immediately call the big landlords and nobles in the giant elephant city and invite them to discuss matters , to ensure that people from their major families will gather at Wangfo Pass to fight with you."

"This battle must mobilize the power of the whole country. Even, once the Saduo Kingdom understands the stakes, as long as the Saduo Kingdom also sends troops to help, it will be more confident."

Boronada said: "Teacher hard work."

Sai Jiantuo shook his head and said, "What's the trouble, old man? In the next battle, you are the one who will have to work hard, and you will be the one who will face danger. This battle is up to you."

Boronada cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, I'm going to the army now, so I'm leaving."

Sai Jiantuo nodded. Looking at the back of Prana Dado leaving, he sighed in his heart and went straight to his prime minister's residence. He had a lot of things to arrange next.

Chapter 1072

When Sai Jiantuo returned to the prime minister's mansion, he first arranged for envoys to go to the north of the country of Satuo.

This is a helpless move, but it must be arranged.Because seeking help from Satuo Kingdom is the last arrangement of Baixiang Kingdom.Once Prana Dado's troops in Wangfoguan can't hold back, the troops of Saduo Kingdom will be the last straw for Baixiang Kingdom.

After Sai Jiantuo arranged for the envoys, he arranged for people from the prime minister's mansion to send letters one by one to notify the great nobles in the entire Giant Elephant City to come to discuss the matter.

These great nobles are all slave owners.Locally, there are tyrannical forces.Next, the cooperation of these great nobles is needed, otherwise the battle will not be easy.

The people of Saijian Tuo were waiting in the prime minister's mansion. As time passed, about two quarters of an hour later, the great nobles living in the giant elephant city came to the hall one after another.

Sai Jiantuo greeted everyone one by one, and those who came took their seats.

All of them looked serious.

All the great nobles knew the news about Qi's rapid military advance in the south.They have their own business and their own intelligence channels. In terms of intelligence and information, they are not much worse than the Baixiang Kingdom government.

Sai Jiantuo waited for a little more than a quarter of an hour, and when almost everyone arrived, he opened his mouth and said, "I have invited you here today to talk about the army of Qi State from the south going north. Now the army of Qi State has wiped out Tianlong , Yufu, and Chongshan City, especially the situation of Kali Posuo in Chongshan City, do you all know?"

"Know!"

Everyone answered in unison.

When these people mentioned Kali Posa, they all had serious expressions on their faces.

Kali Posa, died a terrible death.

Of course, the worst thing was Attila, the lord of Chongshan City, who was killed, and Wang Qi hung his body on the mountain where the corpses were piled up, allowing the vultures to eat him.

Sai Jiantuo stroked the beard under his chin, and said: "Since you all know about the battle in Chongshan City, and you all know that Qi State killed it, then I will not say much about the war that happened in the past. You should know, Qi State The cruelty and viciousness. I invited you here to discuss countermeasures with you."

When the people below heard this, many people's complexions changed slightly.

There was a serious look on his face.

"Prime Minister, it should be the court's business to resist Qi's attack. Those of us who are not officials and not involved in government affairs have anything to do with us? We are just ordinary people."

Among the crowd, one person took the initiative to speak.

This man's name is Gupta, and he is an old nobleman in the Giant Elephant City of the White Elephant Kingdom. He is already in his sixties.

When it comes to age, he is even older than Sejiantuo.

Gupta's identity is also different.He is an old aristocrat. When the Baixiang Kingdom was established in the past, the ancestor of Gupta was the founding hero of the Baixiang Kingdom.Even though Gupta has never been an official now, Gupta's family is also very powerful.Many of Gupta's descendants also served as officials.

This is the strength and background of the great nobles.

As soon as Gupta opened his mouth, many people echoed him.

"Prime Minister, we have some private soldiers, but what can these private soldiers do? They can't do anything well. In my opinion, it's better to let the imperial army send troops."

"Our little people can't stop the Qi country, it's the tiny power."

"When it comes to the safety of the White Elephant Kingdom, in my opinion, people like us cannot be allowed to fight. It's not that we are unwilling to help. The problem is that this is a big matter. Once there is any mistake, who can take the responsibility?"

"My lord, please think twice."

……

A person who keeps opening his mouth.

All the nobles speak with the same caliber, not because we are unwilling to fight, but because we are not good at fighting.Baixiang Kingdom cannot be dragged down just because we are not good at standing.

The implication is that they are actually refusing to send troops to help.

The expression on Sai Jiantuo's face is extremely calm. As a prime minister who has been in power for more than ten years, even he has been an official in the central government for decades, and he has served as a local city lord for more than ten years. Sai Jiantuo has enough experience.

The minds of these nobles and landlords, Sai Jiantuo's mind is like a mirror.

These are extremely normal.

Human nature, that is.

Sai Jiantuo smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please listen to the truth."

When everyone heard the words, they all fell silent.

Everyone looked at Sai Jiantuo in unison, because Sai Jiantuo was the most prestigious among all the people.Not only is Sai Jiantuo's family a great nobleman himself, but also because Sai Jiantuo has always been fair and just in dealing with the nobles, and is very popular with all the nobles.

This is the basis for everyone willing to worship Sejianduo.

Sai Jiantuo said slowly: "Everyone, regarding Qi's attack, it stands to reason that to resist Qi's army, it is natural for the imperial court to send troops. Of course, the imperial court has already sent a large army to go."
