"But you are looking at the situation in Derlock. Just as Lord Yusuf also admitted that in the battle situation there, the Empire and Derlock's coalition had no advantage. To be honest, we are still at a disadvantage. Once the Imperial reinforcements are withdrawn, you can think about what the end of Derlock will be like? Once Derlock is finished, will they stop moving forward with the Kamans' appetite?! Look at the surrounding geographical environment, there is no need to mention that the Taiping Cult is causing trouble there. The Kamans' army can easily drive the horse south and eastward. At that time, why should we take it back and fight back? I'm afraid it will be a blessing to be able to block the enemy's invasion."

Ye Xianggao's words were all the same, which made the ministers present feel cold. If that were true, the empire's territory would have fallen by half. By then, even though the imperial capital was in the heart of the Central Plains, it might not be safe.

There was a dullness in the hall. Ye Xianggao served as the chief minister for more than ten years and was familiar with the situation and military situation around the empire. He also had profound insights in military planning and deployment. Although there were many ministers in the hall, no one could find anyone who could compare with him in this regard. Now that he heard what he said, no one dared to refute it casually.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's expressionless eyes wandering on the faces of the ministers in the hall, the ministers' scalp felt a numb. His Majesty the Emperor obviously wanted everyone to come up with opinions, but it is not appropriate to support Ye Xianggao's opinion at the moment, but it is impossible for you to find reasons to refute the Minister of Military Affairs. This is really a tricky thing.

Although no one came out to refute him for a while, Ye Xianggaoxin kept sinking. The hall with golden light, carved beams and painted buildings in the past seemed a little dark, because he knew that his views must be contrary to His Majesty's view. Otherwise, according to the past, His Majesty the Emperor should have reached a conclusion long ago, rather than waiting for the ministers to speak without expression. This is obviously hope that someone can come out to overturn his views, and with such silent hints as His Majesty the Emperor, those ministers who hope to please His Majesty will sooner or later come out to accuse their views, even if they don't understand military at all.

As expected, someone soon stood up. Ning Yuanwang, the minister of the imperial cabinet. He was tall and elegant, and looked as if he was a sanctified person. Ye Xianggao was the most disliked. He always had to find a high-sounding cloak for himself in any behavior. In a word, he looked noble and arrogant on the outside, and he was thieves and prostitutes at heart. This is Ye Xianggao's classic summary of him.

"Master Ye is a bit alarmist. Although I am not very proficient in military affairs, I also know that there are still several strong fortresses in the Allied Forces in the territory of the Terlock. The Principality of the Terlock is facing such a dangerous situation. Could it be that they will not have much impact on their efforts? I think in terms of the current stable situation, our withdrawal of our troops will not have much impact, because I heard that the reserve troops of the Terlock are already on the front line. Take a step back. Even if the Kamans can win in Terlock, it will not be a matter of ten days or half a month. If you want to completely control the situation, it will not be possible to achieve success in three or five months. Moreover, if you compete with the trapped beast of Terlock, their consumption will not be small, right? Wouldn't it be much easier for us to wait and help Terlock recover the territory?"

Ning Yuanwang's words sounded impeccable to laymen, but they seemed to be whimsical about He Zhiqiu. Once the empire's army evacuated, it would be a miracle that the current power of the Delok could last for a week. Those so-called reserve forces that truly faced the battle formations of the long-standing battle formations, the Kaman army was undoubtedly a one-sided massacre, and as for conquest and pacification, the Yuejing Kingdom was a best example. I am afraid that in less than a month, the Kaman people would be able to free up their hands to point their targets to the empire in the south.

However, the ministers in the hall did not know the military situation as well as Ye Xianggao, but they knew that Ning Yuanwang was the first deputy minister of the imperial administration and presided over the imperial government affairs. They knew that His Majesty the Emperor also secretly agreed with this opinion in his heart. More importantly, they also hoped that the emperor could have a stronger army to protect them. As for the others, they did not want to, and did not want to think too much.

A sparse echo immediately appeared in the hall. Although the other ministers did not make clear statements, their expressions showed a deep expression of agreement, which made Ye Xianggao's heart chill. At this time, he didn't want to explain or argue, because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, the other party would always find some sufficient reasons. Before the matter became a reality, who could guarantee that these things would not really happen? He could only lower his head silently and let His Majesty the Emperor's final ruling.

All the ministers looked at the imperial throne of the Supreme Court, but Zhao Youjian on the imperial throne was hesitant at this time. To put it in his heart, he agreed with the opinions of Yusufu and Ning Yuanwang. The safety of the imperial capital is of great importance, so he cannot take any risks. As for the situation in the Jieluo war, it is good to be stable. If the situation is not good, there is room for maneuver, but reason and experience tell him that the opinions of the Military Minister must have their true truth. Once a wrong decision is made, the consequences may not be compensated, so he was also very distressed at this time.

After clearing his throat gently, Zhao Youjian did not show any tendency on his face. He just frowned slightly before saying calmly: "The opinions of all my dear friends are very reasonable. The empire is in a critical moment. I am deeply pleased to see you devote all your efforts to offer suggestions for the safety of the empire. Today's court discussion ends here. As for how to deal with it, I have my own reasons and will announce it tomorrow morning."

All the ministers were stunned when they heard the words, but they immediately reacted and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The city of Lishan County is relatively tight, with a staircase of five steps and a staircase of ten steps. This place has become the base camp for Qin Mu to plan eastward. The third and fifth divisions of the Northwest Second Army have arrived long ago, and the reorganized and changed third infantry division is also stepping up its journey to Lishan County. It is estimated that it will arrive in Lishan County today.

"The empire has not responded yet?" Qin Mu asked Situ Qingqing, who was cleaning up the intelligence next to him anxiously.

"Well, there is not yet. The information sent by Deng Xian said that it seems that the imperial court has a great disagreement on which part of the troops to be dispatched to reinforce the battlefield in Guanxi, and His Majesty the Emperor is difficult to make a decision. Now there is only the third party of the Fourth Legion that is staying in Tianshui. The Fourth Division has set out westward, but the progress is very slow, and maybe it is still in the running-in period." Situ Qingqing raised her head and looked at Qin Mu with beautiful phoenix eyes.

"Well," Qin Mu let out a long breath and asked casually: "How is the situation of the Second Division?" (To be continued.)
