Some people noticed that the Queen Mother behind the curtain seemed to be trembling slightly, and they didn't know whether she was laughing.
Liu Shan was silent for a long time.
After everyone had laughed enough, Fang Yun said, "Since Prime Minister Liu knows his own mistakes, I will not pursue the matter. Po Yue, tell me what you think."
Everyone stopped smiling, knowing that they were going to talk about serious matters.
Zhang Poyue thought for a few breaths and said, "Are you considering the coming of a semi-saint?"
"The arrival of the semi-saint has nothing to do with us." Fang Yun said.
Everyone was silent. Indeed, it was useless to consider this issue for anyone below the level of a semi-saint.
"In that case, I think there are three urgent matters. First, we should send more workers and scholars to reinforce the northern wall of Ning'an, as that will be the main target of the barbarians' attack. Second, we should prepare sufficient supplies and weapons, as this battle may take a very long time. Third, we should evacuate some of the old and young civilians and leave only the young and strong. As for other matters, we can talk about them later." Zhang Poyue said.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "General Zhang is right. Grand Secretary Liu, you have been holding on in the Sanlian Fort for many days. Tell me what you think."
Liu Hong thought for a moment and quickly expressed his opinion.
Soon, many scholars began to speak, some focusing on the human side, and some focusing on the monster side.
At this moment, Ning'an Academy of Literature is full of talented people. Any problematic plan will be discovered by others, and even if there is a dispute, the result will be quickly determined.
Soon, Fang Yun sorted out the crystallization of everyone's wisdom, and then announced the draft order to everyone. They discussed it one by one. If there were any objections, they would discuss it repeatedly. Finally, Fang Yun determined the final plan.
Soon, orders covering government affairs, military affairs, people's livelihood, logistics, public security and other aspects began to be issued, with different officials responsible for different matters.
All the left-wing faction members received only one order, to prepare to go to the north city wall to join the battle.
Even Liu Shan was scolded like a grandson and dared not refute. The others had nothing to say either. As long as they were not sent to their deaths, they would not oppose Fang Yun, who was at the peak of his career at this time.
Before the end of the great meeting, the Queen Mother announced that Fang Yun would be the governor-general of Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou and Mizhou, in charge of all matters in the three states. She also conferred the title of General Zhenbei on Fang Yun, and all the armies north of the capital, including the Yingyang Army, were nominally under the jurisdiction of Fang Yun.
At this point, Fang Yun not only had the identity of a civil servant, but also officially had an additional military identity, and could legitimately lead troops.
After the great meeting was over, the whole Ning'an City became lively.
Some people escorted the old, weak, sick and disabled to leave Ning'an, some people began to help strengthen the city walls and other fortifications, some people stepped up training, and some people repaired weapons...
All the workshops in Ning'an City are running at full capacity, producing items that can be used by human soldiers.
Ao Huang became the dragon of air transport. He borrowed the treasure of heaven and earth and took the imperial edict to the warehouses all over Jing State to mobilize granaries and military equipment to ensure that Ning'an City had no worries.
Ning'an City was originally a pilot area for the Gong family. Using the needs of the pilot project as an excuse, the Gong Palace immediately dispatched many great scholars and university scholars to begin expanding Ning'an. Moreover, they directly mobilized the talents of Jing State from the Holy Temple. The construction speed was very fast, just like playing with building blocks.
Citing the needs of autumn, the Agricultural Palace moved the projection of the Semi-Saint Wen Baoyun Tower to the north, covering the entire city and completely resolving the threat of the Burning Heaven Furnace. All aquatic creatures near Ning'an City would not be affected by the hot weather.
The Medical Palace dispatched and called on doctors to go to Ning'an County under the guise of conducting medical research so that enough wounded could receive treatment.
The War Palace sent people here under the pretext of observing the war, but in fact it dispatched some experienced generals to help Jing State train its troops, and they would also participate in battles at critical moments.
Afterwards, some countries and holy families also announced that they would send people to observe the war, but in fact they were sending people to Ning'an to help in the battle.
When the whole city was mobilized, the scholars of Jing State had already written their wills, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in haze. But as time went on, various news came, and the scholars of Jing State discovered that it was not only the people of Jing State who were fighting, but the Holy Academy and various countries and families had also extended a helping hand.
The depressing atmosphere in Ning'an City was eased, and all the soldiers of Jing State became more grateful to Fang Yun.
Even the dumbest person knows that the reason why various countries, families and holy academies extended a helping hand was entirely out of respect for Fang Yun and out of recognition of Fang Yun's contribution to the human race.
In the eyes of those people, the hundreds of millions of people in Panorama Country combined are not as important as Fang Yun.
The Yishui River flows eastward into the sea. At the estuary, a total of twenty raging battle platforms go upstream and rush towards Ning'an City on the water surface.
The East China Sea Dragon Palace once again dispatched 20 million troops to help in the battle, and having learned from previous lessons, all of them were aquatic creatures that could conduct amphibious operations.
The entire Ning'an City has become a whirlpool of the Shengyuan Continent, constantly absorbing talents and materials from all over the world.
By noon, all human beings knew that Ning'an was in trouble and needed support from all sides, so many scholars from Jing Kingdom gave up the imperial examinations and began to head north.
Although other countries did not send a large army like Wu, all countries except Qing and Gu began to take the initiative to attack the Five Demon Mountains, Linman or Shaman, both to warn these demons and barbarians not to interfere in the upcoming Second Battle of the Two World Mountains, and to prevent them from sending troops to aid Caoman.
To the north of Ning'an City, the main force of the barbarians was advancing at a normal speed, which was much later than Fang Yun had expected. They would not arrive until at least tomorrow.
This is good news because it gives Ning'an City more adequate preparation.
However, Fang Yun soon received bad news that Tong Luan was leading his troops to support Ning'an City and was about to arrive at the South Gate.
Fang Yun personally led some officials to the South Gate.
The other great scholars and university secretaries were all busy, so Fang Yun only brought a few Hanlin scholars and some Jinshi scholars.
Liu Shan and Zuo Xiang's party members had already been standing outside the door, but their faces looked a little strange.
Fang Yun held the official seal in his hand, his mind ascended into the sky, looking down to the south.
On the vast grassland, there is a spacious official road, and on the official road a large army is slowly approaching.
The banner was the Yingyang Army, and the leader was Grand Secretary Tong Luan, Liu Shan's confidant and Fang Yun's enemy.
Fang Yun soon discovered that Liu Shan and Gu Mingzhou had said before that Tong Luan would lead 500,000 Yingyang troops, but the army in front was only 200,000.
Fang Yun pondered in his mind and didn't understand what it meant, but at least he could understand why everyone in Liushan's group had a different expression.
Soon, the generals in the city learned about the Yingyang Army. Zhang Poyue sent a letter saying, "I feel something is wrong with the Yingyang Army. You must be careful. Never let go of the official seal, and don't leave Ning'an City. Once you find something wrong, use the power of the Holy Temple directly. Don't hesitate!"
Fang Yun replied to Zhang Poyue and said he knew.
Soon, Tong Luan arrived with an army of 200,000.
Fang Yun looked at Tong Luan, an old general who had experienced many hardships, with hair and beard like snow, rough and dark skin, a firm gaze, and a heavy golden armor over his official uniform. Judging from his appearance, one would never expect that he would be Liu Shan's lackey.
Tong Luan dismounted, gave Fang Yun a solemn military salute, and said in a loud voice: "General Tong Luan pays homage to the Great General Zhenbei!"
"Thank you for your hard work, old general." Fang Yun nodded slightly.
The left-wing party members were surprised. Liu Shan and Fang Yun were almost at loggerheads. Tong Luan should have saluted Liu Shan first and then Fang Yun. Could it be that...
