King Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "Of course, as you just said, this matter is of great importance, so it is reasonable to consider it."
"However, I hope you can think about it a little faster."
Zhao Hao nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it as soon as possible."
King Xiaoyao stood up and said, "In that case, I will take my leave now!"
Zhao Hao also stood up: "I'll see you off, Your Majesty!"
After seeing off King Xiaoyao, Zhao Hao no longer had the mood to cook, so he went to the study alone again, with Wu Song following behind him.
As soon as he came in, Zhao Hao snorted coldly.
Wu Song said quickly: "Sir, we should be able to finish it in seven days at the earliest!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Okay, remember, you must keep it strictly confidential and don't let anyone know about this."
Wu Song nodded: "Yes!"
…
Just when Zhao Hao was threatened by King Xiaoyao, Mu Beicheng had already sent the news from the grassland back to the capital.
Facing the envoys from Shu Kingdom who were heading to the grassland to lobby those large tribes, Jiang Wan'er immediately snorted coldly.
"What a good calculation!"
"This Shu Kingdom is really abominable!"
"Come here, King Xuankang, the left prime minister and the internal historian, come into the palace to discuss matters."
The young eunuch went there immediately.
Soon, several important officials whose names she mentioned appeared in the Pepper Room together.
Jiang Wan'er took out the secret letter and handed it to several people.
"Take a look at them all."
The left prime minister stepped forward and took the secret letter from Eunuch Qu.
After reading it, he handed it to King Kang next to him.
Then, Zhao Wenxiang also watched them.
The left prime minister frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is not surprising. Ever since I, Da Gan, implemented the policy of pacifying the barbarians, those large tribes have always been resisting."
"Nowadays, it is normal to be instigated and deceived by Shu Kingdom."
"Now, what we should think about is how to deal with them."
Jiang Wan'er nodded: "Yes, that's why I summoned you here."
“Now, there are two ways.”
"First, send troops immediately to wipe out these tribes."
"Second, we will carry out decapitation. Soldiers will leave Mubei City and directly kill the leaders of these major tribes."
"Change the leader!"
"Which method do you think is feasible?"
"Left Prime Minister, you speak first?"
The left prime minister groaned and said, "Your Majesty, both of these methods seem to be somewhat inappropriate."
Jiang Wan'er's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she asked, "Oh? Please tell me in detail, Left Prime Minister!"
Only the Left Prime Minister would dare to speak in such a way in front of Jiang Wan'er Mian.
The left prime minister said, "Your Majesty, the first method is to send troops to completely exterminate these tribes, which will require a lot of effort."
"Moreover, the number of people in these tribes combined is quite large."
"Even if we win, the 5,000 troops stationed in Mubei City will suffer a lot of casualties."
"Moreover, we also have to consider the impact of destroying these large tribes on the remaining small tribes."
"Will they feel grief over the death of a rabbit?"
"Will this have a negative impact on our continued implementation of the policy of pacifying the barbarians?"
"As for the second method, just kill the leaders of these major tribes."
"This will definitely make his followers attack me and generate more hatred towards me."
"If the four countries go to war, will they still stab us in the back?"
"So, this method has considerable consequences."
After hearing what the left prime minister said, King Kang said, "Your Majesty, the left prime minister's wise words for the country are the same as mine!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said readily, "Okay, this is something I haven't considered for a moment."
Her gaze fell on Zuo Xiang again and she asked, "Then according to Zuo Xiang, how should this matter be resolved?"
The left prime minister looked gloomy for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, there are three major tribes secretly connected with Shu."
"The population involved is approximately nearly 40,000 people."
"We can choose one of the tribes and completely wipe it out."
"This move can first serve as a warning to others."
"Second, after completely wiping out one of the tribes, even the other two tribes will eventually attack me."
"With the 5,000 troops we have stationed in Mubei, it is enough to deal with it!"
"This is the safest way!"
Jiang Wan'er looked at Prince Kang and Zhao Wenxiang.
"What do you two think?"
King Kang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with the left prime minister's idea."
Zhao Wenxiang also nodded and said, "I agree, but we need to carefully consider which tribe to choose to be the 'chicken' to be killed."
King Kang said, "This is easy. Let's choose the Qihu tribe, which has the largest number of people and the largest scale."
"The other two tribes are secretly following the Qihu tribe and resisting our policy of pacifying the barbarians."
"Without the Qihu tribe, the other two tribes would have lost their backbone."
"It won't make any big waves."
Zuo Xiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what the prince said is absolutely right!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"
"Summon General Yu Zhen to Mubei City and wipe out the Qihu tribe with lightning speed."
General Yu Zhen is the younger brother of General Yu Ping.
Yu Ping was the defender of Jianning City.
In the last Four-Nation War, Yu Ping almost lost his life.
These two brothers were both generals trained by Xiao Chuyun's father, Xiao Danglu.
After a pause, Jiang Wan'er looked at Zhao Wenxiang and said, "Master Nei Shi, urge the Chief of Works to produce a large number of arrows and thunder bombs."
"The war is approaching, so we must produce enough as soon as possible."
Zhao Wenxiang nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already ordered all the craftsmen in the General Construction Department to work day and night."
"However, the number of people who can be supervised by the commander alone is still limited."
"Your Majesty, could you consider recruiting more craftsmen?"
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a moment and said, "As for arrows, we can use the newly recruited craftsmen to make them."
"The thunder bomb won't work, it can only be made by the existing generals and craftsmen!"
This is for absolute confidentiality.
If you are hiring new craftsmen.
When there are so many people, it is hard to tell who is an honest craftsman and who is a spy from the enemy country.
If you come into contact with a sky bomb, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhao Wenxiang nodded.
Jiang Wan'er said, "Lord Zhao, we must also speed up preparations for military expenses!"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Yes, I understand!"
Jiang Wan'er said: "What is coming will be a war that will destroy the whole country. My lords, if we win this battle, I will do great things and will be unstoppable in the future!"
"If we lose this battle, I'm afraid we, the king and his subjects, will all be killed!"
"Therefore, I hope that you can work with me to overcome this difficulty together!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly saluted and said in unison: "Your Majesty, we obey your command!"
Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's get busy!"
