Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 144: “There is an army”

, the fastest update to the latest chapters of Formula of Heaven!

He Guicai and Xu Sanzhong couldn't help showing unexpected expressions.

They knew that this son of Xia was knowledgeable and skillful, but what he was talking about was military issues after all, and it was related to the princess's vital interests. What good advice could an alchemist make?

Xia Fan did not answer immediately.

He asked, "People in the city...what are you going to do?"

"Master Xia don't need to worry too much," Xu Sanzhong replied, "It will not take long for Shenzhou reinforcements to come to Jinxia. It will take one day or two days later. When the time comes, the enemy will not enter or retreat. Focus on robbing the people. For Jinxia City, a loss of a day will not hurt your muscles."

"The city will not remember, but people have memory." Xia Fan said calmly, "In this way, the image of the princess will be wiped out by everyone, and it will be no different from the government and the Privy Council."

"Image?" He Guicai coughed slightly, "Master Xia, we are talking about military deployment and response plans..."

"I really don’t understand combat command, but there is no pure war in this world. Any military action is an extension of politics. Why fight is the core of it. If you forget this core, An army that only fights for war can't go too far."

"Of course we are fighting for the princess—"

"You're talking about personal purposes," Xia Fan interrupted, "and I'm talking about the army as a whole. Your Royal Highness, do you want to protect these three thousand people, or do you really want to get a new golden Xiacheng?"

Ning Wanjun blinked, "Do you want me to go into the city to resist the enemy and destroy them in the city instead of waiting for the Shenzhou Army to come to help?"

"Exactly."

"Sure enough, your thoughts are always different." Ning Wanjun raised her mouth, "but these few words alone can't convince me, you have to explain in more detail-why my image disappeared Everyone, what do you mean by the brand-new Jinxia City?"

"Let me give an example to illustrate. There used to be a place..." Xia Fan took a breath, "In just a few decades, three rulers have been changed."

"Three dynasties have been alternated for decades...Is there such a place on the mainland?" He Guicai questioned.

"Quiet!" Ning Wanjun glanced at the staff officer, "Listen to him."

"Frequent changes in the ruler have brought great turmoil. There are robbers, bandits, and new enemies everywhere. They have all done the same things, such as drafting troops, collecting taxes, and developing a land. But in the end only The last session was a success." Xia Fan paused when he said that, "It's not enough to say how strong they were at the beginning, and even the overall comparison is quite inferior to the previous two sessions. But they are only a few shortcomings. During the year, the robbers and bandits were wiped out, just because these people promised this to the local people."

"And then?" Ning Wanjun asked excitedly.

"There is no more. They received the full support of soldiers, taxes, and local people, but other rulers and enemies could not compete with them, and soon faded out of people's vision."

"Why?" Mo Yun asked puzzledly, "Robbers and bandits can't threaten the people in the town, right? It's almost the same as the merchants who come and go thank them."

"Because people have seen the changes." Xia Fan smiled, "In fact, most people are not fools. Although the previous two rulers have different equipment, armor, and titles, they are in people’s eyes. There is no essential difference. Only the third term brings a fresh change. They do what they say, and they spit into nails. As long as they are promised, they will definitely be able to do it. So people realized that this army and The first two terms are completely different. It is self-evident which side is stronger in execution and has the appearance of a ruler. Therefore, they are more proactive in supporting them. Even at a certain period of time, they can borrow a large amount of money with a single white bar. Food. Because the people know that this debt will not be deliberately delayed, but will definitely be exchanged in return."

Ning Wanjun was relieved to hear, "Is this the image you mentioned before?"

"Yes, what the government cannot or will not do, if you can do it, it will inevitably give everyone a new impression. This impression can not only be inherited, but also spread. Just like I did before As mentioned, the city will not remember, but people have memory. After you change everyone’s minds, you will get a brand new Jinxia city."

Xia Fan stretched out his hands, "When the Jinxia people realized that Her Royal Highness would not regard them as nothing, would not leave them behind in a crisis, but would rather face a powerful enemy in order to protect everyone, even Shenzhou officials in the future No matter how you change, you can really control the city."

After a long silence, Ning Wanjun laughed slowly, "So war is an extension of politics... Xu Sanzhong, send my order to make everyone ready for battle."

"His Royal Highness!" He Gui wanted to dissuade, but was stopped by the princess's hand.

"In fact, there is no such statement from Xia Fan, and I am more inclined to take the initiative." Ning Wanjun said bluntly, "According to normal circumstances, the Shenzhou Garrison can arrive in one day. What if they don't? Don't forget Jin Xiacheng is a fortified city near the sea. Once all four walls are lost, how long will it take for Mu Shou to capture Jinxia? Half a year? One year? This also means that the progress of both the salt field and the Privy Council will be greatly delayed."

"Not to mention that we have reached an agreement with Equestria not long ago. When they sent envoys and discovered that Jinxia has been occupied by their own deadly enemies, is there any possibility of this agreement?"

"Handing over the initiative and relying on the Shenzhou Army's immediate assistance, I don't think it is the best policy. I would rather take the risk, and I don't want to place my hope on others."

Ning Wanjun looked around the lobby for a week, "Finally, if I sit back and watch the suffering of others for my own purposes, what is the difference from my elder brother's biological mother? Jinxia City is my territory~IndoMTL.com ~The people of Jinxia are also people under my rule. Is there any doubt about this?"

Mo Yun showed a relieved smile.

"Please order the princess!"

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed their heads.

"Consultant He, according to the plan of taking the initiative to attack, make a feasible plan. Be fast, we must act before the enemy fully enters the city." The princess said quickly, "Gong Li, please take an inventory. For the materials and rice noodles of the villa, a shelter camp is set up outside the west city gate, so that those who have fled Jinxia can take refuge here."

Finally, she turned to Xia Fan, "Since the enemy is Dongsheng Nation, it is very likely that they will invade with those who feel inspired. I need your help and the Privy Council."

"Does this still need to be said?" Xia Fan replied, "Of course I will help you to the end."

At this moment, the horizon felt like a series of thunders rolled by, followed by a very dull buzzing sound, as if the air was trembling slightly.
