The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 557 My dear ministers, shall we send troops?

"Lord Zhenguo, how can you be sure that the Wei Dynasty will attack Ye County from the Nile Forest?" Huang Tong was a little surprised.

He studied military books and knew very well that it would be a thankless task for the army to march through the Nile Forest, which was full of poisonous snakes and insects. There would probably be heavy casualties before the army even reached Ye County. By then, the army would have lost all morale, so how could they fight?

"General Huang asked a good question. If it were me, I would split my troops into two groups. One would attack Dongyun City, and the other would cross the Jinling River from Yunhai Port and attack Yanyun County. Whichever of the two armies wins first can help the other army, and victory is a foregone conclusion."

Ye Feng was not surprised when he heard Huang Tong's question. According to normal people's thinking, crossing the Nile Forest was indeed the worst choice.

When Huang Tong heard Ye Feng's words, he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, Ye Feng was now the king of his Song Dynasty.

If Ye Feng was still in the Wei Dynasty, their Song Dynasty would probably be close to destruction.

"The reason is very simple. From the intelligence brought back by the scouts we sent out these days, we didn't find the army of Pang De and Taishi Zi. They clearly set out from the capital of Wei. With so many scouts, it is impossible that they would not be discovered."

"That means Pang De and Taishi Zi's army of several hundred thousand is not marching in the direction that the scouts we sent out are heading."

"We sent out scouts in the direction of Yunhai Port or Dongyun City, but found nothing. That means Pang De and Tai Shizi's army is most likely heading towards the Nile Forest. The army attacking Dongyun City was deliberately sent by Lin Xiaoxiang to paralyze our sight."

Ye Feng had a confident smile on his face. He didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiang would dare to take a risky move and pass through the Nile Forest.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had taught Lin Xiaoxiang the Thirty-Six Stratagems over the years and that she had learned them quite well, but it was a pity that she met him.

"Zhen Guojun is very thoughtful. I admire him!"

When Huang Dong and others heard Ye Feng's analysis, they were all full of admiration. No wonder Ye Feng was able to wipe out the three princes and the three feudal lords in just one year.

Especially the King of Nanyu, Zhao Pengju. The latter's four cities and two checkpoints were connected end to end and linked together, but Ye Feng broke through them all in just over a month.

"These are just my guesses. We still need to send out scouts for further investigation. We still have to get to Shangyou City first."

Ye Feng knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. What he said was all his own analysis. Only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one win every battle.

"Let's go to Youcheng."

Seeing that the army had almost rested, Ye Feng conveyed the order, and the messengers rode on war horses, shuttled among the army, issuing orders.

The army marched towards Shangyou City in a mighty manner.

……

In the court of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Murong Boheng was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne. His eyes were shining, and civil officials and military generals were standing on both sides.

At the very front on the left hand side, there is an old man with gray hair, but he looks energetic. He is Yelu Cai, the Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Behind him were the Minister of War Mi Lan, the Minister of Rites Dong Zhao, the Minister of Revenue Tie Erbo, the Minister of Punishment Meng Lei, the Minister of Personnel Qi Guanyu, the Minister of Works Tong Liangping, and nearly a hundred other officials from the six ministries. It was a grand procession.

There were several rows of people standing on the right. The first row was a slightly mature man who looked to be in his thirties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an imposing aura.

He was wearing a ruby-red and gold brocade robe, a pale violet belt around his waist, flowing hair, bright and charming eyes under his brows, and he was tall with a face as white as jade.

He is Murong Antai, the eldest son of Murong Boheng, and also the successor that Murong Boheng is training. Although he has not yet been made the crown prince, it is only a matter of time. He is also the eldest son of Empress Mei.

Next to Murong Antai stood a middle-aged man with a calm face. He was wearing silver armor and a helmet. Most importantly, he had a long sword on his waist. He was the only person in the entire court who could wear a sword to court. He was Yang Qi, the mighty general of the Great Xia Dynasty, with unfathomable cultivation.

Behind the two men were almost all generals in armor. They were the backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty’s army, and each of them had a strong aura.

Standing next to Yang Qi was the national teacher Yin Youzi. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a dustpan in his hand, and just standing there with his hands folded.

"My dear ministers, I believe you all know that the three great dynasties are attacking the Song Dynasty together. Should we, the Great Xia Dynasty, send troops to take advantage of the opportunity and take down the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop?"

Murong Boheng leaned on the dragon throne with a calm expression. He had already consulted Yin Youzi about his ideas, but still wanted to ask many ministers.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be easy for our Great Xia Dynasty to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. How can we allow others to sleep peacefully beside our bed?"

"Whether it is the Great Wei Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, or the Western Shu Dynasty, they are not qualified to compete for the territory of our Great Xia Dynasty."

The Minister of War Mi Lan walked directly to the center of the court, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, and directly advised to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

His heart was cold and ruthless. He knew that his son Mi Heng had been humiliated by Ye Feng in Nanjun of the Song Dynasty last year. He wished that his army would sweep across the Song Dynasty as soon as possible so that he could take revenge.

"I also think that we cannot miss this rare opportunity. It is imperative to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty."

When Murong Antai saw Mi Lan's statement, he proposed directly without any hesitation.

All the ministers expressed their opinions and decided to take advantage of the situation and destroy the Song Dynasty.

After hearing the suggestions from his ministers, Murong Boheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I think sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty now is not a good choice." Minister of Rites Dong Zhao stepped forward and put forward an opinion that was opposite to Mi Lan and others: "The Song Dynasty is currently fighting with the three major dynasties. If we rashly send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, it is very likely to attract the Qin Dynasty to march eastward."

"As everyone knows, the Great Qin Dynasty occupies the entire eastern part of Jiuzhou. It has a vast territory and many soldiers and generals. Once they are lured eastward, our Great Xia Dynasty will be the first to bear the brunt."

"Although our Great Xia Dynasty has been developing rapidly under the leadership of Your Majesty in recent years, if we really go to war with the Great Qin Dynasty, it is unknown who will win and who will lose, and it will greatly consume our national strength."

"Besides, we have the Canglang Dynasty in the west, which is eyeing us covetously. They may take advantage of our attack on the Song Dynasty and take advantage of the opportunity to attack us. We will be attacked from both sides, which is not conducive to the overall situation."

As the Minister of Rites, Dong Zhao analyzed the situation based on the situation around the Great Xia Dynasty. His words were very subtle, and everyone knew very well that the Great Qin Dynasty was able to unify the eastern part of the Nine Provinces and dominate one side. Its strength must not be underestimated. Once the Great Qin Dynasty was lured to the east, it was really unknown whether they could defeat the Great Qin Dynasty.

What's more, the Canglang Dynasty should not be underestimated. Once their cavalry is dispatched, they can march straight into Weicheng.
