Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Because Fang La had no such expectations before.

So at this time, when he suddenly heard the news, he was immediately shocked and jumped up from the dragon chair.

The eyes were wide open, and the mouth was still unable to close due to violent shock.

I don’t know how much time passed before he asked in a very urgent voice:

"Well, how is this possible?"

"That's a hundred thousand troops. Not only that, Tianhu and Wang Qing also sent out a hundred thousand troops?"

"The entire 30-strong army was just wiped out like ashes?"

"But before that, didn't news come back from there from time to time?"

"What else are you talking about? Although our attack didn't go well and we besieged Tokyo City for several days, we still didn't think of a way to break the city?"

"Why, how come it's only been a few days and all those 30 troops are gone?"

The expression on Wang Yin's face was also helpless and confused.

But faced with such doubts from his own monarch, he could only firmly believe again at this moment:

"If you go back to the emperor, it is true."

"This kind of news was brought back by our fat man personally this morning."

"It's definitely as expected."

"However, as for the question that the emperor asked why all the 30 troops were wiped out in just a few days, Wei Chen can't think of a reason."

At this time, Fang La looked extremely anxious.

The two eyebrows on his forehead were wrinkled, as if they could get confused if he wasn't careful.

He lingered around the imperial steps for a long time.

Just now he sighed with great regret:

"One hundred thousand troops, that's a full one hundred thousand troops!"

"All our troops and horses put together, including the Royal Forest Army, are only three to 10,000+."

"But in this battle alone, I lost one hundred thousand troops."

"Is it possible, is it possible that the imperial army and horses are really so powerful?"

"Wang Shangshu, I order you to send someone to Tokyo City to inquire about the information now."

"You must understand for me how my [-]-strong army was completely annihilated."

"Go, go!"

Wang Yin received Fang La's urging and did not dare to hesitate at this time.

He raised his legs and headed towards the door.

But before they could leave the Jinluan Palace, a eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside the door with a message:

"Your Majesty, Master Qiao is here."

"I'm waiting outside the palace now."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, if you want to invite Mr. Qiao to come in to discuss matters?"

Fang La had met the so-called Taoist Qiao several times before.

I know that the other party is not only profound in Taoism, but also has profound insights in intelligence that are insurmountable by ordinary people.

When he heard that Old Taoist Qiao suddenly came here, he couldn't help but feel excited:

That old Taoist Qiao didn't come early or late, but he just came at this time.

Could it be that he also heard the news that my [-]-strong army was annihilated, so he wanted to come here to offer some good advice to help him get more benefits from me?

If this is really the case, as long as the strategy proposed by that old Taoist Qiao is very suitable to my liking, it is not difficult to give him some benefits.

Fang La didn't think much and asked the eunuch to call in the Taoist Qiao he was talking about.

Today, Taoist priest Qiao was dressed as usual.

Wearing a green Taoist robe, he has a lean figure and carries a whisk in his hand.

Although the face is slightly dry.

But a pair of eyes are extremely smart and lively.

When he hurriedly came to the imperial steps, he did not bow down to Fang Wax who was sitting on the dragon chair.

After just bending down and saying the number, he directly expressed his intention to come:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I know very well that Your Majesty will be very angry after hearing that his [-] troops have gone and never come back."

"Maybe not long ago, we will send another army to Tokyo for revenge."

"So I came here specially to persuade His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will think twice about this matter."

"Fang La took a deep look at Taoist Qiao. Could it be that my one hundred thousand army died in vain under the Tokyo city?"

"If this matter is spread out in the future, where will the face of the king of my country be put?"

After hearing this, Taoist Priest Qiao still had the same expression on his face as before, neither sad nor happy.

He just raised his right hand and waved it toward Fang La:

"Your Majesty, no."

"In fact, Pindao thinks that although His Majesty's soldiers and horses are not only superior in combat power, they are also extremely brave."

"But leading a large army to attack for hundreds of miles and fighting the master in an unfamiliar place is really a taboo for military strategists."

"Even if His Majesty's strategic purpose here is finally achieved in the future, there will definitely be huge losses of troops and generals at that time."

"It can actually be said to be an uneconomical deal."

"If your majesty can listen to what Lao Tao says, Lao Dao will not only make your Majesty's wish come true, but also be able to harvest a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and equipment in the next ten or dozens of days."

Fang La saw that Taoist priest Qiao was so sure in this regard.

I can't help but feel very curious:

"Master Qiao, what kind of plan is that?"

"Taoist Master Qiao might as well tell that plan in front of all my civil and military officials."

"By the way, we can also ask all the ministers and officials here to discuss it."

"Look at Daoist Master Qiao's plan. Is it appropriate to implement it?"

After hearing this, Taoist priest Qiao stroked his beard and chuckled for a while.

Then he took out a few copper coins from his arms.

With the help of the eunuch next to him, he fetched another coffee table.

Although the Manchu civil and military personnel present were all very surprised by what Taoist Qiao did.

But at this time, he didn't say much.

He just stood there quietly, looking in the direction of Daoist Qiao, paying close attention to his every move.

But seeing Taoist Qiao, he first used the copper coins in his hand to place several positions on the coffee table from left to right.

After arranging these, he raised his head with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty, all ministers, please look at the coffee table in front of Pindao."

"What Pindao displays here is the general location of the four internal forces of our Great Song Dynasty and the two external forces."

"At the moment, although we here can definitely continue to join forces with King Wang Qing and King Tian Hu to send troops together to fight against Tokyo City."

"But this time, it's not the first time."

"If we continue to be like this here, Zhao Ji will be on guard and we will fight all the way through, and we will definitely not get much benefit."

"And it can be seen from the consequences of the last time our three coalition forces fought together. The Song Dynasty gave others the impression that it was extremely corrupt and incompetent."
