Peace Order

Chapter 1894: Chapter 12: Founding Eternal Taiping

However, at this moment, the lineup remaining in the Heavenly Strategy Mansion can already be described as fierce generals like clouds, strategists like rain. Under their command are other young and valiant warriors who have yet to establish a sufficiently formidable reputation in the world.

Just waiting for this great battle to ascend the stage of eternal history.

Li Zhaowen sat on one side, his phoenix eyes sweeping over the lineup, unable to hold back a subtle admiration in his heart. Each one here has left their battle intent and marks in this turbulent era, now gathered together not just for a common battle.

It is something that can make them stay silent at this time.

Only such a great battle.

The sound of breathing here grows increasingly deep and subtle. No one speaks; everyone simply maintains a sense of calm and peace, and within such tranquility, there is a faint sense of somberness accumulating, gradually growing heavier.

Suddenly, footsteps can be heard.

Li Zhaowen noticed that these fierce generals and famous ministers’ eyes suddenly brightened.

In an instant, the atmosphere seemed even more solemn, like a group of tigers, flood dragons murmuring, as they all looked toward the doorway. This stacked aura is enough to scare ordinary warlords to the core.

With a clatter, the door opened.

All the civil and military officials stood up.

Military officers lowered their heads, while civil officials bowed.

They all said: "Your Majesty!"

Li Guanyi was wearing a plain round-collared robe, walking calmly among the strongest civil and military officials of this world, his expression serene, saying: "Everyone, please rise."

"Yes!"

Li Guanyi sat at the head, Li Zhaowen’s seat was slightly lower than his, but he only smiled and said: "Guanyi, what majesty and aura." Li Guanyi replied, "Just everyone’s support."

Then he said: "Everyone knows why we are here. This time, Jiang Gao has executed Jiang Yuan, the situation in Ying Country is turbulent. After Jiang Gao has taken power, he has drastically revised all Jiang Yuan’s policies. A great battle is imminent soon."

"What do you all think we should do?"

Everyone exchanged glances, Yue Qianfeng said: "As of now, we all know we must fight, Ying Country also knows it’s time to battle. The key point is probably when to fight this battle, and how to fight it."

"We are only warlords; the only one who can make this decision is Your Majesty."

"Where the Qilin Patterned Banner points, we will courageously forge ahead."

Li Guanyi said: "Good, then I think."

"Three days from now, we will launch the attack!"

Even Yue Qianfeng did not expect it to be so soon, his expression subtly changed, instinctively saying: "Three days?"

Emperor Qin said: "Mr. Po Jun has long mobilized the troops, it’s enough."

"Light cavalry, swift movement, catching them off guard."

"This battle is different from those in the past. In the past, the battles of this world were all about balancing among many forces, needing to be slow and deliberate. But not now, now it’s the last battle, life or death. Speed is the key, quick is better than slow, early is better than late."

"Yes, indeed, just as you all imagine, if we continue to develop, the warlords’ provisions will be more solid and substantial than now."

"But Ying Country will also continually recover the Primordial Qi consumed by Jiang Yuan."

"When do we stop accumulating food and manpower before it ends?"

"Otherwise, accumulate for ten thousand years?"

Many ministers and generals’ expressions solemnly changed, realizing Emperor Qin’s determination. The high-seated young monarch rose, his youthful brilliance transformed into a calm overlooking of the world, he said:

"Weapons and provisions, only need this one battle, and it will suffice."

"The trend of the world is like this; everyone thinks time isn’t on our side, thinking we will be stronger in five or ten years, but this is a kind of complacency because under our oppression, under the oppression of this future, Jiang Gao and Ying Country will also experience a new rapid growth."

"There are too many variables in the future."

"We need now."

"When Jiang Su and Ying Country think we will choose to rest and recuperate, we strike, and that will give us the advantage, and now within Ying Country, the people’s hearts are in turmoil, the timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony are in our favor, with resolute military morale, it is the best opportunity."

Li Zhaowen saw that within the eyes of Yue Qianfeng and the others, a spark was gradually gathering, and this flame was ignited because of the young monarch before them. Emperor Qin grasped the sword at his waist, his voice steady:

"When I was young, I first learned military strategy; back then, I could only recite some famous works and quotes from military sages, thinking I understood warfare, amusing people. Now, having experienced many battles, I have come to understand."

"Speaking of the Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect, the three realms."

"I see a similar three realms in military strategy, the first realm is to understand the enemy, and to disassemble with the enemy on the battlefield, breaking moves, leading the army to gallop on the battlefield is the first realm."

"The second realm is to understand oneself."

"To know one’s goals, understand the trend and strategy, not to crave victory or advance recklessly, not to lament when defeated but self-restraint and calm; if back then, Yuwen Lie and others sought victory on the battlefield but lost strategic judgment."

"To know oneself and the enemy, almost ensures victory in a hundred battles."

"But recently, I gradually understood the third realm, which is to guide the enemy."

"Guide the enemy’s thoughts, guide the enemy’s judgment, creating opportunities for one’s strategic advantage, only thus can you survive in desperate situations, achieve victories with fewer forces, and gain great victories!"
