Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, Sima Xuan was confident. "Everyone, if we go to war with the Shang Dynasty directly, it will be a suicide act. But what if we take the initiative to challenge them? In the past, when the relations between countries were relatively harmonious and no one wanted to start a war, each country would select an elite force to compete at an agreed time and place to resolve the conflicts between countries. Now, we can completely learn from this method and challenge the Shang Dynasty to a war! Let's see if the Shang Dynasty has the courage to accept our challenge!"
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
Yes, if a direct war breaks out, even if the Bian State’s navy is ten times stronger, it will not dare to go to sea.
But what if it was a battle? The Shang Dynasty would definitely not refuse for the sake of face and political considerations! At that time, it is entirely possible that everyone would agree on a similar number and displacement of warships and start a "technical exchange".
This was also the only chance for Bian State to defeat the Shang Dynasty at sea.
To put it bluntly, it was to have a "fair final". This idea was immediately approved by everyone in Bian State.
"I'll contact the Shang Dynasty." Sima Xuan took the initiative to undertake this task. Then he picked up the latest mobile phone and directly contacted the Shang Dynasty's Prime Minister Yan Ze'an to convey this message.
Yan Zean received the message and just told Sima Xuan to wait for a while. It's late today, we can discuss it tomorrow.
It was said that the discussion would be held tomorrow, but Yan Ze'an immediately informed Xia Qingqing of the information, and also discussed it with Li Yuanming and Yan Ze'an.
"We cannot agree to this!" Li Yuanming immediately raised an objection. "First of all, we cannot disrupt the rhythm; all the war rhythms should be carried out according to our plan. We need to consider the soldiers on the battlefield and the national interests of the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, we are now in a state of war, and that kind of competition-style fighting is not suitable for the current state of war. Mercy cannot be given to the enemy!"
Xu Ren didn't say anything, but he nodded. Everyone could tell at a glance what Bian Guo was planning.
Yan Ze'an didn't quite agree. But now it depends on Xia Qingqing's choice. After all, the power of the Shang Dynasty is now in Xia Qingqing's hands.
But it was already night, and Xia Qingqing was paying attention to the situation in Tianwaitian. Things here could only wait until tomorrow morning.
At this time, Xia Qingqing was in contact with Gu Yue Yuhua from Tianwaitian.
"Master Taixuan has checked and my husband is not in serious danger. His soul and spirit have been stimulated to a certain extent, but with Master Taixuan's care and the essence of Mara Aguli, they will be repaired in a month at most."
After hearing this, Xia Qingqing finally put down the heavy stone in her heart. She asked happily, "Then can my husband come back in a month?"
Although Xia Qingqing has decided to appoint Li Nuo as the crown prince one month later, that is a choice she has no choice of. If possible, Xia Qingqing hopes that Li Xian can come back.
However, Gu Yueyuhua's next words disappointed Xia Qingqing. "Master Taixuan also said that the soul and the primordial spirit are a mysterious realm. Even Master Taixuan cannot guarantee that my husband can wake up. It is certain that the soul and the primordial spirit can be repaired. But whether my husband can wake up depends on the actual situation. On the one hand, it depends on whether my husband was injured at the time, and on the other hand, it depends on my husband's will, etc."
