Faced with everyone's flattery, Shi Wushuang did not feel proud at all.

He said solemnly, “The Dayuan Dynasty is accelerating the recruitment of troops.

In addition, the newly built roads can quickly transport troops and food from all over the country to the border.

We will lose all advantages if we fight them in the future.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to take the initiative to seek peace with Dayuan."

"Are you kidding me? Are you asking us to make peace?

It's just a defeat, someone who doesn't know would think we're doomed."

Some people are very dissatisfied.

The barbarian generals were all extremely arrogant and looked down upon the Dayuan Dynasty.

They have always wanted to completely defeat Dayuan and become their slave.

"Yes, how could we possibly ask the Dayuan Dynasty for peace?

They'd be very lucky if we didn't attack!"

"Shut up, everyone! Stop talking nonsense! Listen to Master Wushuang." The barbarian king scolded his men.

Shi Wushuang then said slowly: "If you had given up the attack before, Dayuan would definitely be happy to cease fire.

But things are different now.

Dayuan’s treasury is not short of money now.

And since new troops were recruited, new roads were built.

The troops will definitely be sent here to train on the battlefield.

If you take the initiative to seek peace, a ceasefire will be implemented for a period of time.

These new recruits would then become useless, and the imperial court would certainly not be willing to spend extra money to support them.

After these recruits are dismissed, you will have enough soldiers and it will not be too late to start a war."

"You are so considerate, you are indeed worthy of being called Master Wushuang.

This is what is called showing weakness to the enemy and then taking advantage of their own strength.

Just do as you say.

What's the point of saving face? Being able to paralyze the opponent and defeat them is the most important thing."

After receiving guidance from Yunlu Pavilion, the Barbarian King became extremely fascinated by strategies.

Just by lowering your posture, you can get a chance to win, which is very cost-effective.

Others also agreed.

The key is that they need to buy enough time to train the army and build military formations.

After the discussion was completed, envoys were immediately selected to go to the Dayuan Dynasty.

Although he was doing it in the name of peace talks, he was still trying to investigate Dayuan's strength in secret.

The news of the peace talks soon reached Dayuan.

Li Ye was closer to the border and heard the news faster than the court.

"The Barbarian Alliance wants to negotiate? This is really a sight to behold."

"Your Highness, do you mean to say that you have seen through this barbarian conspiracy?"

Zhao Wudi knew the enemy very well and it was impossible for him to bow to the Dayuan Dynasty.

"Of course not! We haven't even sent out our troops yet, and the enemy cavalry appears to be even more powerful.

If we hadn't relied on the city's defenses, we wouldn't have been their match in a head-on battle.

How can we have sincere peace talks under such circumstances?"

Li Ye sneered repeatedly.

"I agree with you! The barbarians have no credibility and cannot be trusted."

Zhao Wudi said simply.

Ruyue Junyu on the side said, "Since it doesn't make sense, there must be a conspiracy behind it."

"Bowling down and seeking peace is nothing more than buying time! The barbarians suffered a heavy loss this time!

It is estimated that they plan to replenish their troops.

Of course, it also has the effect of paralyzing us.”

Li Ye said.

“In this case, we should immediately report to the Emperor that he does not agree to the peace request.

Take this opportunity to launch an attack.

Directly annihilate all enemy countries."

Ever since Li Ye trained all the laborers into an army, Zhao Wudi has been excited and full of confidence, becoming more and more confident.

I have always had the idea of ​​counterattacking the barbarian army.

"This is not our decision, but it is also beneficial for us if the enemy buys time.

After all, they are all new recruits, and one more day of training can enhance their combat effectiveness.

It’s still unclear who will gain the upper hand when the war breaks out.”

Li Ye said with a smile.

He did not take the enemy's conspiracy seriously.

"Your Highness is right! We have obtained a large number of war horses, and we can train a combat-ready cavalry in a few months.

We won't be at a disadvantage in a head-on battle."

"A few months is still too much of a loss, but our biggest advantage is that we have a sufficient number of powerful crossbows.

This is the perfect way to win.

I also have a secret weapon that I can officially use when the war begins."

Li Ye looked mysterious.

Everyone present was surprised.

"Your Highness, if you have anything else, please take it out and let us see it!"

Lei Zhan was the most impatient and asked impatiently.

"It's so boring to tell you now, you'll know it when the time comes even if you haven't seen it.

The secret weapon is unknown to anyone except me.

But the first time we use it, it will definitely bring us a surprise.”

Li Ye refused to disclose it.

Everyone was very anxious.

"There are no outsiders here. Your Highness still doesn't trust us?" Lei Zhan was very puzzled.

Li Ye amazes everyone every time he takes out Wu Xi.

I can't wait to know what kind of martial arts is so tightly guarded.

It must be very powerful.

"Lei Zhan, what nonsense are you talking about! Since His Highness didn't say anything, it must be to keep it a secret.

Don’t mess around!

Lei Ying scolded him.

Li Ye said seriously: "You must remember that rules are rules.

Even between the most trusted people, the rules of confidentiality cannot be violated.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of a leak, we absolutely cannot take the risk."

"I know. I won't ask! I really hope the Barbarian Alliance attacks sooner rather than later.

Let them experience the power of the secret martial arts."

Lei Zhan wished the enemy would attack him immediately.

"So we don't need to rush, except to train the army as quickly as possible to increase its combat effectiveness.

Investigating the other party's conspiracy."

Li Ye said on behalf of the Tao.

No matter what the enemy does, Li Ye is confident that he can investigate it thoroughly.

In addition to the caravan monitoring every move on the grass.

Behind them is the powerful killer organization Fengxiao League, which has already sent people to infiltrate the enemy army.

Any news will be passed on in time.

When several people were discussing.

An imperial edict was delivered by a courier who traveled eight hundred miles.

The cavalryman who delivered the letter rushed directly into the tent with the imperial edict.

He jumped off his horse at the entrance to the tent and said, "Ride eight hundred miles! The imperial edict is coming!"

Li Ye went to take the imperial edict, opened it and read it, a smile appeared on his face.

"The Emperor has allowed us to train the army and has given it to Zhao Wudi to command.

Take a look at this!"

Li Ye handed the imperial edict to Zhao Wudi.

After reading it, Zhao Wudi said respectfully, "Although I am in charge of the army, I must also obey your highness's orders."

"That's great! With the Emperor's permission, this army can be established legitimately."

Lei Zhan was even happier.

They are all Li Ye's confidants. The more power Li Ye holds, the higher their status will be.

"The imperial edict also contains an important message, asking us to set up checkpoints and inspect the caravans entering and leaving the country.

"Leave this matter to Lei Ying and Lei Zhan. You two brothers must take responsibility." Li Ye said.

"Yes! I will do my best to complete it." The two agreed in unison.

They looked at each other with delighted expressions.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will never leave any of your personal belongings behind." Lei Ying said.
