As soon as Zhou Bin finished speaking, everyone looked at him with curiosity and surprise.
Everyone was very surprised. In this situation, the princes, ministers, and generals were all helpless. What could a mere scholar like him do?
The prince standing aside was also very curious. He thought that Zhou Bin was just talking nonsense when he said such things at this time.
You have to know that this is in the Emperor's Golden Palace. If you talk nonsense, it would be a capital crime.
The situation is so urgent now. If he talks nonsense here, it will harm the entire Darong Kingdom.
But the prince had no good solution at this time, so he could only listen to what Zhou Bin said for the time being.
Princess Ruyi, on the other hand, had stars in her eyes. She found the man in front of her so heroic and handsome that her heart was beating fast at the first sight of him.
And the fact that he was able to stand up at such a critical moment shows that he is very brave.
At this moment, Princess Ruyi's face turned a little red, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her excitement.
The emperor was too busy to care about that, so he asked hurriedly, "What's your plan? Tell me quickly."
Zhou Bin did not hide anything and immediately explained his thoughts in detail in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
He first pointed out that the King of Northern Liang, who claimed to have an army of 300,000, actually had only a few hundred thousand soldiers at most.
As soon as his statement came out, it was immediately questioned by everyone.
Because they had already sent spies to investigate, and they found that the enemy's team was indeed stretching for several miles, with flags flying, and it could be said that they were coming in an area that covered the sky and the sun.
How could there be only a few hundred thousand? Everyone thought that the other side must have an army of 300,000.
Zhou Bin listened to everyone's doubts, but he was not in a hurry. He was just about to explain to everyone.
At this time, the prince also questioned Zhou Bin: "You just said that the King of Beiliang only has hundreds of thousands of troops. I think you are talking nonsense! The King of Beiliang is the overlord of the northern border and has dominated the grassland for decades. Doesn't he have hundreds of thousands of troops?"
The emperor couldn't help but say at this time: "Yes, the current King of Beiliang is known as the Eagle of the Grassland. He is very powerful and has always been the number one threat to our Darong Kingdom."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, and all the gentlemen, please don't worry. Let me tell you in detail."
Zhou Bin from Suizhou continued speaking. He first analyzed the current situation of the King of Beiliang. As far as he knew, the place where the King of Beiliang lived was a bitterly cold place.
Although the grassland is lush, it often suffers from snowstorms.
He heard from others that the northern border had suffered an unprecedented snowstorm this winter, countless cattle and sheep had frozen to death, and large areas of grassland had dried up.
This summer, he also heard people say that many people in the north suffered casualties due to lack of clothes, and some even secretly fled to Darong State to survive.
According to his estimation, the population in the North was reduced by at least 20% due to the snowstorm.
Besides, their population was not large to begin with, and under such circumstances, it was impossible for so many soldiers to come and fight.
After arriving in the capital, he learned that people in the northern border had already exchanged many cattle and horses for food, and many of their cattle and horses were being sold openly on the streets of the capital.
He asked the cattle and horse dealers, and they said that due to the shortage of clothing in the North, they had to exchange cattle and horses for the necessities of life.
The last point is that if there really is an army of 300,000, according to the character of the King of Beiliang, he will definitely come in full force and will never give the Darong Kingdom a chance to breathe.
Now he did not come to attack immediately, which means that he is still unsure of the real situation of Dayong Kingdom and dare not come rashly.
All of the above made Zhou Bin feel that they were just bluffing. The actual situation was that they did not have an army of hundreds of thousands at all, only tens of thousands at most.
After Zhou Bin finished his analysis, everyone was stunned.
What he said was well-reasoned and everyone had to admire him.
The emperor nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Zhou Bin said made a lot of sense.
The prince was silent at this time. Although he suspected Zhou Bin at the beginning, what he said was true, and everyone basically understood the situation.
But no one analyzed it at all, which led to panic.
After listening to this, Princess Ruyi couldn't help but applaud repeatedly. What Zhou Bin said was really great!
The analysis is coherent and convincing.
She was not mistaken. The person in front of her was indeed a man of great talent and genius!
She even secretly glanced at Zhou Bin a few times, and couldn't help but feel her heart fluttering.
You know, Princess Ruyi is a well-known tomboy.
Although she is beautiful and charming, she is born with a love for martial arts. She likes to wield swords and sticks, and her boxing skills are very good.
She once defeated three generals by herself, and her achievement was praised as a great achievement in the court.
Now when she saw Zhou Bin, she actually felt shy like a little girl, which she herself did not expect.
After Zhou Bin's analysis, the emperor was very pleased and couldn't help but praise him: "Well said, keep going."
Zhou Bin continued to analyze the situation. He believed that the King of Beiliang led a large army to attack this time because it was a desperate move.
Because the King of Beiliang's position was threatened, his Beiliang was not a monolithic entity, and there were several pairs of eyes watching him covetously.
However, due to the severe disaster he suffered in the winter, which resulted in the death and injury of countless cattle and sheep and a significant reduction in the number of personnel, his position was in jeopardy.
He has now come here with the whole country as his goal, to fight to the death and find a way out for himself.
Therefore, although the King of Beiliang appears to be very fierce on the surface, he is actually very weak in his heart and may still be a little hesitant.
