258. Chapter 258 They are all a bunch of idiots


In the political hall.

Almost all civil servants and generals could not help but tremble in their hearts.

Without him, Jun Haotian's name was so loud that they all trembled just hearing it.

To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jun Haotian was the number one god of war in the Zhou Dynasty.

They also thought that since the Zhou Dynasty was going to go to war, they would find a good general, but no one expected that it would be Jun Haotian.

Especially at this moment, Emperor Wu could not help but feel weak.

After all, he knows what kind of strength Jun Haotian is and what kind of status the Jun family has.

It was previously rumored that the Jun family and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty seemed to be inseparable, and even wanted to break up in public.

Some people even expressed their opinion that the Jun family has a tendency to replace the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Wu actually believed it to be true before.

After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If the Jun family's status was not so high, perhaps they would be willing to submit to the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.

But now the strength of the Jun family has caught up with the Zhou royal family.

With the style of the Jun family, it is absolutely impossible to be content with others.

But judging from the current situation, the rumors are all false. The relationship between the Jun family and the Zhou royal family is not what it seems at all.

Don’t think that they seem to be inseparable. In fact, both sides are in the same valley.

The Zhou Dynasty is still too insidious!

Emperor Wu was very angry. He thought in his heart that the Jun family and the Zhou royal family must have joined forces in order to confuse these countries.

When the time comes to start a war, they will be caught off guard.

Just like this time.

Wu Huang never expected that Jun Haotian would take the initiative to fight.

You know, although Jun Haotian has always been guarding the border with the Northern Suppression Army, in fact, he is more like a person who is responsible for taking care of the truth.

Jun Haotian will never take action unless necessary.

Furthermore, with the strength of the Jun family and his own cultivation, there is absolutely no need for Jun Haotian to take the initiative to ask for a fight.

There is no immortality in war. After too many people under Jun Haotian died, the Zhou royal family would most likely target him.

But now, Jun Haotian took the initiative to ask for a battle because of an imperial edict from Emperor Zhou, and personally led a hundred thousand elite soldiers to capture a city in the Xuanwu Empire in just one night.

Emperor Wu was not only angry but also worried at the moment.

He clearly knew the combat effectiveness of Jun Haotian's soldiers, especially in terms of leading troops in battles. Jun Haotian was the strongest among the strong.

If you really want to count, there is really no general in his Xuanwu Empire who is comparable to Jun Haotian.

General Qin Chi, who is guarding Xuanyang City, is already a very good general in their Xuanwu Empire.

However, Qin Chi was unable to defend the city for even one night.

Now it can be said that the army led by Jun Haotian is attacking the Xuanwu Empire in a crushing manner.

Our side basically has no chance of winning.

Originally, Emperor Wu thought that the Jun family and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty were in a state of hostility, and that he could benefit from it.

But he really didn’t expect that it was all a scam.

"My dear friends, now, Jun Haotian of the Zhou Dynasty has led one hundred thousand elite troops to capture Xuanyang City, and I am afraid that he will attack the imperial capital immediately."

Emperor Wu looked gloomy and asked many ministers. "What do you think should be done now? Who is willing to fight?"

Now Jun Haotian's army of one hundred thousand is like a dagger stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.

If he could not defeat the Zhou Dynasty or make the Zhou Dynasty retreat, Emperor Wu could not imagine what the consequences would be.

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has improved a lot in recent years, the national strength has increased, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has produced numerous talents.

If this battle had to continue, Emperor Wu believed that the Xuanwu Empire would definitely not be a match for the Zhou Dynasty, and it might end up with the country destroyed and people destroyed!

"My dear friends, why is no one speaking?"

Emperor Wu glanced at the civil servants and generals in the audience with his cold eyes.

However, these ministers lowered their heads one after another, their eyes a little evasive.

To be honest, where can they come up with any good ideas?

Their Xuanwu Empire itself was inferior to the Zhou Dynasty in terms of national strength, and this was not something they could make up for by just thinking of ways.

And those generals looked particularly embarrassed at this time.

The ability of most of them to lead troops in battle is not even as good as Qin Chi's. If they were allowed to lead an army to actively attack...

I'm afraid they would end up with one more enemy. Die before you survive!

"Your Majesty, why not negotiate with the Zhou Dynasty? How about we pay some compensation and let them withdraw their troops?"

When a civil servant spoke, others immediately echoed.

"Yes, since Your Majesty cannot win this battle, there is no need for us to fight hard. Why not just make peace with them."

"After all, our Xuanwu Empire has a strong position in the army. The combat effectiveness is already weak, and the Zhou royal family is unable to compete with the army led by Jun Haotian. Why not cede Xuanyang City to them? "

"This is a good idea? ! Anyway, the Zhou Dynasty has always wanted to occupy Xuanyang City. When Jun Haotian was guarding the border, didn't he always inquire about the situation there? Let's just give it to them this time."

The civil servants thought that since they couldn't win anyway, there was no need to fight.

Besides, it's nothing more than paying some compensation and ceding a few cities.

Although their Xuanwu Empire is not said to be vast in territory and rich in resources, it still has many cities. Slightly ceding two cities will not have much impact at all.

As long as they know their shame and are brave, after this incident, they immediately train their troops, recruit troops, and fight back in the future, they may not be able to defeat the Zhou Dynasty.

However, after Emperor Wu heard the suggestions put forward by these civil servants, he couldn't help but sneered.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

As an emperor, he certainly knew that if he gave in from the beginning, he would only become more and more cowardly in the future.

I didn’t even dare to fight until the end!

How could a man from his Xuanwu Empire be so bloodless?

“They are all a bunch of losers!”

Emperor Wu coldly scolded these civil servants in the court.

"Cut one city today and ten cities tomorrow. What are you doing? A crime of cowardice! When did my Xuanwu Empire become so bloodless?!"

"Today, any city we cut out will , will become the nourishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it will only make it easier for them to invade us!"

"What is the use of me raising you?"

The Emperor Wu's eyes are cold. He glanced at everyone's face coldly, feeling extremely disappointed in them.

But at this moment, these civil servants were not too embarrassed. Instead, they made their own plans in their hearts. (End of chapter)
