After seeing that the emotions of the military officials in the court had calmed down, Mu Qianmei continued:

"The most difficult period of the West Rain Country has passed, after such a long period of recuperation, coupled with the addition of the Southern Star Country and the Heavenly Thunder Country, our West Rain Country can now be said to be full of talents, food and grass are sufficient, the next battle of immortals and demons, it is impossible to distinguish the winner in the short term, therefore, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war."

"In the eyes of the Lone King, the joining of the Long Xiao Kingdom into the Demon Realm is not all a bad thing for us in the Xiyu Kingdom."

"In this world, everything has two sides, there is a good side, and it will inevitably be accompanied by a bad side, on the surface, because of the addition of the army of Longxiao Kingdom, the army of the Demon World has increased by tens of millions at once, so the strength has increased."

But is that actually the case? The strength of an army does not depend on the number of soldiers, nor on whether the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is strong, but more importantly, whether they can truly unite as one, and cohesion is the highest standard for reflecting whether an army is strong. ”

"Historically, the fairy world and the demon world have been in a state of opposition, the friction between the two sides has never really stopped, the concept of opposition is deep-rooted, it is not that you can be relieved, Longxiao Kingdom and the demon world are in the previous war, both sides have caused major casualties, and the grievances and grievances are a huge hidden danger."

"Such a hidden danger may not break out in the short term, but after a long time, no one can suppress it, and sooner or later it will become a big contradiction within them."

"Yesterday they were still opponents, but today they are comrades-in-arms, can they truly unite and fight side by side?"

"In the face of such an army, no matter how large the number is, what is there to fear?"

The last four words, Mu Qianmei said sonorously and forcefully, like a stick in the head, hit the hearts of civil and military officials, and people couldn't help but lift their spirits, and the worries in their hearts disappeared at once!

Yes, what is the use of an army full of internal contradictions, no matter how many people there are, when the great enemy is present, they cannot trust each other, on the contrary, they are likely to kill each other, what is there to be afraid of?

Seeing that the concerns in the hearts of the hundred officials have been eliminated, Mu Qianmei has really become down-to-earth.

As the head of a country, Mu Qianmei can't show any uneasy emotions no matter what happens, she is the backbone of everyone, if she is not calm, how can she calm down the entire court?

When everyone is uneasy, not only can she not show her uneasy emotions, but she even has to find out the flaws of the other party in order to truly stabilize the morale of the army.

Mu Qianmei paused for a while, and when everyone digested what she had just said, she said unhurriedly:

"Now Qu Yunyang needs to rectify the cities he just occupied, and he will not send troops to attack us for the time being, and we must also take this opportunity to strengthen the defense of the front line, when he launches an attack, we must at least be able to withstand his first three attacks, and we can't let them go beyond the thunder pool."

Mu Qianmei glanced at the hundreds of civil and military officials, and found that everyone showed puzzled expressions, so she explained:

"When Qu Yunyang finishes rectifying, he needs to use the victory of the war to boost morale and prove the strength of the Demon Realm army, if he can break through our defense line in one fell swoop, defeat us as quickly as possible, and complete his great cause of unification, he will have enough time to resolve internal contradictions."

If we can withstand his three strong attacks, it will be equivalent to a great blow to their morale, on the contrary, our morale will be boosted, and at that time, we will truly grasp the initiative."

A military general came out and asked:

"If they can't stick together, why don't we take the initiative? Now that our army has been reorganized and ready to fight, as long as an order is given, we can quickly launch an attack and catch them off guard. ”

Many people also showed expressions of approval.

Mu Qianmei replied in a calm tone:

"The chaos during the rectification period is not really chaos, and because Longxiao Kingdom has just surrendered at this moment, the contradictions between the two sides are not immediately exposed, and they take the initiative to attack at this moment, in order to prove their strength, they will inevitably work together to resist our attack, and we do this, not only will not have the effect of attacking them unprepared, but will invisibly promote their integration."

"Longxiao Kingdom has just surrendered, and its stature will be lowered, the Demon Realm army has just accepted the surrender of Longxiao Kingdom, and those generals will definitely try their best to control their soldiers and prevent them from bullying the surrender army of Longxiao Kingdom, and the contradictions between the two sides are currently hidden."

"Just like winemaking, such hidden dangers need a period of fermentation before they slowly erupt, if we attack at this time and are attacked by external forces, their contradictions will not be exposed, but temporarily united and united with the outside world."

"Therefore, not only can we not take the initiative to attack, but we can't even show any posture of attacking, we are constantly strengthening the defense at the border, making it look like a big enemy, so that they will feel that we are afraid, and we dare not send troops easily, but only dare to defend strictly, so that they can relax their vigilance against us."

"The two armies are facing each other, and the heart is the first."

The general then asked:

"And when should our army launch a counteroffensive?"

Mu Qianmei immediately replied:

"When they're exhausted, that's the best time for us to fight back."

"Of course, in this process, we also need to do a lot of things, and the most important thing is to seize every opportunity to induce internal contradictions and split them from within, so that we can create a better situation for our counterattack."

When everyone was in a state of thought, Mu Qianmei looked at Leng Yuanqing and said:

"Commander Leng, this matter will be handed over to Qingping Division, you must collect as soon as possible what contradictions in the other camp's camp can be exploited, and then we will carry out a purposeful and planned separatist operation according to the intelligence."

"The best way to defeat the enemy is to divide them from within, and if they fight from within, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties."

After Leng Yuanqing came out of the ranks, he saluted respectfully:

"The last general will obey the orders of the Heavenly King!"

At this time, another military general came out and said:

"Heavenly King, what if we can't stop the enemy's three onslaughts?"

Mu Qianmei replied quietly:

"This is an important reason why Lone King asked to strengthen the frontline defense."

"Between attack and defense, it is naturally easier to defend the city, as long as we are well defended and the construction of the city wall is strengthened, we can block their attack."

"Our three-way army, the commanders are all famous generals in the world, the soldiers are strong and strong, the food and grass are sufficient, the weapons are excellent, and everyone has the same goal, the combat effectiveness is not worse than the army of the demon world, there is no problem at all to defeat them."

"Of course, you need to be prepared for everything, and things on the battlefield are often changing quickly, so we also need to be prepared for the worst.

"What if the defense of the city fails and the defense line is breached by the enemy?"

"We set up a second line of defense outside Yulan City, if the battle in front is lost, we will intercept it again in the second line of defense, if this line of defense is still unfortunately breached, then our Yulan City itself is a line of defense, and the army led by the Lone King himself will be able to repel it."

Speaking of this, Mu Qianmei paused for a while, and the civil and military officials all listened quietly, and no one asked questions.

When it comes to the third line of defense, the Heavenly King is going to conquer in person, if it still fails, what does it mean? Nature speaks for itself.

Seeing that the faces of the civil and military officials became solemn again, Mu Qianmei continued:

"Of course, there may be a worse outcome, that is, what if our third line of defense in Magnolia City can't stop it?"

A civil servant came out and said:

"The ministers are willing to swear allegiance to the Heavenly King and live and die with Magnolia City!"

The others immediately came out and said in unison:

"The ministers are willing to swear allegiance to the Heavenly King and live and die with Magnolia City!"

Mu Qianmei showed a relieved expression on her face, but she said:

"We don't need to live and die with Magnolia City!"

In the puzzled gaze of the ministers, Mu Qianmei explained:

"The lonely king has always opposed the way of defending the city in the city, the city is dead, we can try our best to defend the city, but we don't have to swear to defend the city, the city is important, but the most important thing is that people live, and if we can't do anything, we can give up the city, even if it is the imperial city."

"There is a saying that if you stay in the green mountains, you don't have to worry about no firewood, if we live, we will have a chance to make a comeback, if we live and die with the city, then there is really no chance."

"Therefore, if Magnolia City can't hold it, we will retreat to Cuiyun City, if Cuiyun City can't hold it, we will continue to retreat and retreat to Gyeongju County, if even Gyeongju County is lost, then we will withdraw from the border, like Beiyue Kingdom, choose a remote place to temporarily hide, and when the time is ripe, we will fight back!"

Fight back again!?

Say it so domineeringly.

The ministers couldn't help but show surprise, the king of heaven was planning a retreat route, but he said it so justifiably and sonorously, as if it was not a retreat route, but an offensive route!

What is retreat, that is to escape!

As a Heavenly King, why did he plan his escape route before he fought?

Mu Qianmei saw everyone's thoughts, so she continued:

"The retreat route is just a back road, and we may never use it, but we have to plan it first, prepare in advance, and when it comes to an emergency, we will not lose our proportions, and we can be considered prepared and prepared for a rainy day."

"Of course, this is only the worst possible outcome."

"If the worst is nothing more than that, what do we have to fear?"
