Chapter 763: 8 Wise King: Do you dare to bet with me?
"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"
When Luo Ye heard what Emperor Dajing said, he felt extremely nervous!
Emperor Dajing summoned him to the palace just to ask him one thing! ?
What is so important!?
"My dear Lord Luo, you come from a frontier army and are familiar with warfare. Let me ask you, if we recruit 100,000 new soldiers and send them to the battlefield, will it have any effect on the situation on the battlefield?" Emperor Dajing asked in a deep voice.
"Recruiting 100,000 new soldiers?"
When Luo Ye heard what Emperor Dajing said, he was stunned!
What does Emperor Dajing mean?
Are they planning to recruit 100,000 new soldiers from the public to support General Chu? ?
This is absolutely not okay!
Although the combat effectiveness of 100,000 new recruits is definitely not as good as that of well-trained veterans!
However, one hundred thousand new recruits can play a very important role!
"Your Majesty, I think that 100,000 new soldiers...will not be of much use!"
"Those new recruits have not received any training. If they go to the battlefield, I'm afraid they will only affect the battle!"
"Besides, the amount of food and fodder they need is not a small amount!"
"Plus, Dajing has been constantly at war over the years. Today's Dajing... can't afford such a conscription!"
Luo Ye acted as if he was concerned about the country and the people.
But after hearing Luo Ye's words, Emperor Dajing sighed helplessly.
"Well, if that's the case, forget it, you can leave..."
"The minister obeys the order!"
After hearing what Emperor Dajing said, Luo Ye left the imperial study.
After hearing what Luo Ye said, Emperor Dajing lost interest in conscription.
Since it has no effect, why make people complain?
However, judging from recent developments, Dajing's military strength is still insufficient.
After the beginning of next spring, we must recruit soldiers again!
By then, Dajing will have enough troops and will not be afraid of anyone!
……
Two days later, Jiangnan, Jinling City.
"Report!"
"My Lord, the Eighth Sage King's army is out!"
"It's coming towards us!"
A soldier ran into the Jinling government office and anxiously reported the situation!
"Okay! I understand!"
Jiang Chen nodded and then stood up.
"Everyone, our chance to fight the Eighth Sage King has come!
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xu Meng, Han Peng and others all stood up!
In the past two days, they have been recuperating and regaining their strength.
If the Eighth Wise King attacks at this time, he would be seeking death!
But when everyone arrived at the city wall, they saw a strange scene.
The army of the Eight Wise Kings was actually lined up not far from the city wall.
They didn't attack! ?
"Jiang Chen is here! Do you dare to come out and face me!?"
Just when everyone was confused, the voice of the Eighth Wise King rang out.
"The Eighth Wise King wants to see me?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
It has come to this, what does the Eighth Wise King want to do when he sees him?
"My Lord, don't take it lightly. This might be a vicious plot by the Eighth Sage King!"
Xu Meng hurriedly protected Jiang Chen!
"Don't be nervous, I'm on the city wall, they can't hurt me!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, then came to the edge of the city wall.
"Eighth Wise King! Long time no see!"
"Jiang Chen!"
When the Eighth Wise King under the city wall saw Jiang Chen, his face was instantly filled with anger!
He really wanted to order his soldiers to attack the city regardless of the consequences!
Then kill Jiang Chen!
Fortunately, General Tian stopped him.
"My Lord, don't be impulsive and don't forget the important things."
……
"Business?"
When the Eighth Wise King heard what General Tian said, he came to his senses.
He took a deep breath and his expression relaxed a little.
"Jiang Chen, you are so bold!"
"How dare you take advantage of my absence to launch a sneak attack on Jiangnan!?"
"Have you forgotten the help I gave you when you were providing disaster relief in Jiangnan?"
The Eighth Wise King took out the speech he had prepared long ago.
What he wants to do is to pull Jiang Chen down from the altar!
"Your Majesty, I will never forget your help!"
"But you destroyed the imperial mausoleum and openly rebelled. I cannot tolerate you!"
"So, I advise His Majesty to surrender!"
"Otherwise, if we continue to fight, I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship between you and me!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
But when the Eighth Wise King heard this, he laughed coldly!
"Haha, you are not qualified to let me surrender!"
"Jiang Chen, didn't it rain when you were praying for rain in Jiangnan? That's why you deceived the people of Jiangnan into worshipping you as a god?!"
"You don't really think you are a god, do you?!"
When Jiang Chen heard what the Eighth Wise King said, he felt something was wrong.
Why did the Eighth Wise King bring up his request for rain instead of fighting him properly?!
"Your Majesty, I have never considered myself a god!"
"I am only trying to persuade you to surrender with good intentions!"
"Hahaha! I don't want your kindness!"
"Jiang Chen, do you dare to bet with me? "
The Eighth Wise King laughed loudly and looked at Jiang Chen with an arrogant look on his face.
"A bet?"
"I wonder what the prince wants to bet on!?"
Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
……
"Jiang Chen, don't you always regard praying for rain as your own achievement?!"
"Today, you and I will make a bet here!"
"You can pray for rain on this city wall. If you can succeed, I will surrender and go back to the capital with you to face trial!"
"But, if you cannot pray for rain, then you must surrender to me!"
"how!?"
"What are you doing!?"
The Eighth Wise King shouted loudly.
But Jiang Chen hesitated when he heard this!
He did have a weather card in his hand!
But the last time he prayed for rain, he got into trouble.
If I pray for rain again this time, it will probably arouse the suspicion of Emperor Dajing!
However, if the rain prayer is successful, they can reduce a lot of casualties...
This……
Jiang Chen hesitated.
When Yan Youling and the others heard what the Eighth Sage King said, they hurried to Jiang Chen and said, "My Lord, don't be fooled! The Eighth Sage King is deliberately provoking you!"
"That's right, Lord! We can't agree to the Eighth Wise King! Praying for rain... How can we do it anytime?"
"My Lord, give the order to attack! I will definitely kill the Eighth Sage King!"
Everyone spoke eagerly.
However, after hearing what everyone said, Jiang Chen made a decision.
He couldn't bear to see the people around him in danger!
He smiled faintly and shouted to the Eighth Wise King under the city wall: "Eighth Wise King, I can promise you!"
"I hope you keep your promise!"
"What!?"
Yan Youling and the others were all dumbfounded when they heard Jiang Chen agree!
That’s asking for rain!
Jiang Chen agreed just like that! ?
Could it be that Jiang Chen is really unpredictable?
"My Lord, you are so impulsive!"
"you……"
Han Peng said anxiously.
But Jiang Chen patted Han Peng's armor on the shoulder and said, "General Han, we are the army of His Majesty Dajing!"
"By order of the Emperor!"
"Praying for rain, what's so difficult about that?"
