Zhao Yunqi dropped the memorial:
“Yuanshan was murdered and his life was hanging by a thread, and Fengqing held on alone.”
"The flames of war have been ignited in the Northwest, and the Southern Barbarians are also stirring. My beloved ministers, the crisis facing the Great Sheng Dynasty is far from over. Do any of you have any good strategies?"
Everyone looked at each other, and it was Li Xiao who spoke first:
"The siege of Yanshan has been lifted, and the Northern Barbarians suffered a crushing defeat at Guixiong Pass, incurring heavy losses. It should be impossible to start another war in the short term."
"However, with the simultaneous outbreak of war between the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Frontier, the expenditure on food, supplies, and military equipment has become a huge burden. If we cannot achieve a swift victory, we fear that it will damage the very foundation of the Great Sheng. Your Majesty, we suggest that a ceasefire be the best course of action."
Originally, with Xiao Yuanshan in the south, a decisive victory could have been achieved with just two more major battles.
However, his severe injuries and coma had a significant impact, even potentially influencing the outcome of the battle.
Zhao Yunqi paced back and forth. "How can we stop the war? Can General Mu and General Feng achieve some gains and force them to sue for peace?"
Ask him to sue for peace? That's a difficult decision to make.
Li Xiao sighed, "Even if we achieve victory, they will not advocate for peace."
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a bite out of Dasheng is one that none of those countries will let go of.
Zhao Yunqi frowned. "No matter how difficult it is, we must do it. We must defeat them one by one. Our hidden agents should also be activated. We need to shift their focus back and give our side a chance to breathe."
As long as they don't come together, Da Sheng has nothing to fear. He doesn't believe that the alliance of the four kingdoms at this time cannot be broken.
Xiao Zhixing thought so too. There was nothing he could do about other places, but he was determined to make a scene in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom by causing unrest.
Only when their own internal situation is in chaos will the other side be too preoccupied to attend to other matters.
At the imperial palace, the ministers quickly devised a plan by offering their opinions and suggestions. At this moment, someone delivered a memorial from Guixiong Pass. After reading it, Zhao Yunqi handed it to Li Xiao and the others.
"What do you all think?"
Feng Liyan was the first to speak:
"The Prince of Zhenguo is suffering, and staying in the south will hinder his recovery. He should be brought back to Shengjing for proper treatment. As for the Xiao family army... having lost its leader, it would be best to withdraw them."
"The Xiao family army has 100,000 men left. If they are all withdrawn, can you, Feng Qing, withstand the Southern Barbarians?" Zhao Yunqi looked at Feng Liyan calmly.
