Chapter 905: 516: The World Is Shocked! (Crucial Turning Point)

Chapter 905: Chapter 516: The World Is Shocked! (Crucial Turning Point)

What is this concept?

When the court was first established back then, wasn’t it just like this!

This is astonishingly big news.

“What does the King of Beiliang intend to do?”

“Wei Jinfeng wants Us to dispatch two hundred thousand troops, commanded by Shen Wu True Monarch, to support Liangzhou.”

Jingtai said with deep-set eyes.

“This…..”

Seeing Jingtai’s somewhat displeased expression, Cao Zhengxian’s eyes turned, and he asked:

“What does Your Majesty plan to do in response?”

“Minister Cao.”

“Your servant is here.”

“Do you think…. Wei Jinfeng has ambitions?” Jingtai asked calmly as he tapped his fingers on the table.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Zhengxian whispered:

“Wei Jinfeng…. has been in power for too long.”

Jingtai raised his head and smiled at him:

“You are right. Wei Jinfeng has indeed held power for too long and has grown too strong. In Liangzhou, the people know only the King of Beiliang and not Us. Do you think his existence is still necessary?”

“But if we don’t provide support, it might be difficult to silence the public opinion, and if Wei Jinfeng truly falls, once the Northern Barbarians advance without resistance, it might threaten the Capital at that time.”

Cao Zhengxian advised thoughtfully.

The presence of the King of Beiliang and the Prince Zhen Nan is indeed a thorn for the court. Comparatively, the King of Beiliang is a deeper thorn, making Jingtai feel even more uncomfortable.

Not only must they be appeased, but funds must be allocated annually.

Liangzhou has practically become a nation within a nation!

This is something that no emperor can accept.

But…..

Existence always has its reasons.

The Prince Zhen Nan guards the Southern Border against the Demon Clan, the King of Beiliang guards the Liangyou Border against the Grassland Barbarians. If they are removed, the implications would be too great.

In the past, no emperor hasn’t thought of this, but as soon as Wei Jinfeng makes some moves, letting the Barbarians pass through Youzhou and cause devastation, the court’s intentions are extinguished.

Though reluctantly, they must admit that Wei Jinfeng is not a simple character.

If truly cornered, and the King of Beiliang decided to throw in his lot with the Barbarians, it would truly shake the foundations of the court. Therefore, the implication in Cao Zhengxian’s words was still urging Jingtai to bear with it.

With a significant enemy at hand, such actions should not be taken.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“When did I say not to support? Both Liangzhou and Youzhou are parts of the court’s territory, integral to Great Jin, and I will never do something that pleases the enemy and pains my close ones.”

Jingtai said in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

Cao Zhengxian hurriedly flattered.

“Wei Jinfeng requested two hundred thousand elite soldiers, and I shall give him three hundred thousand. Over half of the major armies near the Capital will be sent to the border, furthermore,

Great Governor Gu Tianqiong will also go on the expedition with the army. However… gathering the troops will require some time.”

Jingtai’s lips curved into a smile.

“Your Majesty, you….”

Cao Zhengxian’s face stiffened, hearing the implication in Jingtai’s words.

“Both Liangzhou and Youzhou are borders, both carry risks. I will never favor one over the other. First, support Youzhou, and once Youzhou is secure, then let the Grand Marshal send troops to Beiliang to surely assist Wei Jinfeng.”

Jingtai stated calmly.

“Your Majesty, this…. on Wei Jinfeng’s side, perhaps….”

“First, pacify them. Since I said we would send troops, we certainly will, but there’s always a priority. The King of Beiliang will understand Our difficulties.”

In Wei Jinfeng’s eyes, a glint of coldness flashed.

Three hundred thousand Beiliang’s Iron Cavalry, hehe…. truly a terrifying number, Jingtai had long thought of them, just never had the right opportunity.

Now that the Northern Barbarians are launching a major attack, it gave him the opportunity!

First, pacify Wei Jinfeng, telling him that the court has dispatched troops, letting him wear down the Grassland’s forces. When the time is right, the court’s army will naturally join the battle.

At that time, even if someone is dissatisfied, what can they do?

With the Grassland Barbarians driven out, and the Beiliang Army already greatly diminished, they won’t have the strength to resist the court again, just sending a trustworthy True Monarch from the court to continue the guard will suffice.

In this way, Liangzhou can be completely brought under the court’s jurisdiction!

“What if the King of Beiliang can’t withstand the Beiliang Army’s spearhead, how should we handle the Barbarians entering Liangzhou’s territory….” Cao Zhengxian felt he needed to remind Jingtai.

Just ensure the current situation is stable, why take the risk?

With the Beiliang Army plus the court’s forces, seventy thousand Grassland Barbarians can’t stir up much trouble.

“Aren’t the people of Liangzhou wholeheartedly following Wei Jinfeng? Then let them all go together, after a few hundred years, everything will restore to its original state.”

“The court…. will not be in chaos!”

Jingtai smiled faintly.

But these words sent a bone-chilling coldness through Cao Zhengxian.

Such a nonchalant statement.

Yet, Liangzhou’s people number in the millions, these are several million living people!

Cao Zhengxian suddenly felt that, following Jingtai for so many years, he never truly understood him.

The heart…. is too ruthless!

“Your servant….. your servant….. follows orders.”

Cao Zhengxian hesitated for a moment, and ultimately bowed his head.

“Go, inform Wei Jinfeng about the court’s decision to dispatch troops. You must first stabilize him, and also…. summon the Grand Marshal and the Great Governor to the palace, I have important matters to discuss.”

Jingtai waved his hand, lips curling into a very subtle smile, as if he had everything under control.

“Your servant follows orders.”

Cao Zhengxian felt a heavy heart, bowed, and withdrew.

…

…

Regarding the news from Beiliang, Jingtai did not let it be blocked, even intentionally letting it loose. One was to see the reaction of the world, and the other was to see in such a situation, who…. harbors ill intentions!

Divine Capital City, located at the center of the world, where the top ten Immortal Sects and many top Jianghu forces mostly have branches or spies here, the information from the palace spreads.

Almost like a hurricane, it spread throughout the Capital.

After a brief silence, a massive wave was unleashed.

It’s truly because seventy thousand Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry is such a shocking number, no matter who hears it, there’s an unavoidable shock in their hearts.

Once this news spread throughout the Capital, all forces quickly heard this terrifying, shocking news.

For a moment, the world was shocked!

This day was the ninth year of Jin Jingtai, April 16, and also a crucial turning point in the world’s situation.

The plot has already entered the mid-late stage, and it will get even more exciting afterwards.
