Chapter 527: Dilemma

The time is set in three days.

But what does it mean at 6 o'clock in the evening?

Liang Ping looked at Li Yu and asked, "Your Highness, what is the Saro people said about the 6 o'clock in the night?"

Li Yu rubbed his chin and thought to himself that the Ethans, namely the Persians, should use the twelve-hour timing method of day and night.

The Persians divided the day into six hours and the night into six hours. Together, it was exactly twelve hours, similar to the twelve hours in China.

Noon is six o'clock in the day and midnight is six o'clock in the night.

The Saro people said that the six o'clock in the night should refer to the six o'clock in the morning.

That is, it is eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

Li Yu said: "Yesterday is midnight!"

"I see!"

Liang Ping looked at Li Yu and asked, "Your Highness, will this... be the trap set by the people of the West?"

Li Yu was also unable to determine whether this was a trap, he remained silent.

Chen Fang said: "If this is not a trap, the Saro army really wants to cooperate with us inside and outside, which is an excellent opportunity to defeat the Xifan army in one fell swoop!"

After a brief pause, he said again: "Some time ago, didn't the Saro people come to Huaian City specifically and talk to His Highness in secret?"

Liang Ping said seriously: "Even so, there is no guarantee that this is definitely not a trap!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yu and said seriously: "If the Saro people's plan is exposed, it is possible that the Xifan people take advantage of this and set a trap for us!"

Yes! There is indeed such a possibility!

Li Yu walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

Now he faces two choices, one is to seek stability and the other is to seek victory in danger.

If you want to be stable, it is very simple. You must ignore this letter at all.

Our side just needs to continue to stick to Huaiancheng.

The people of Xifan have tried all kinds of siege, but they have failed. Both sides are just delaying the war in the future.

However, this kind of consumption will cause great damage to the national strength of both sides until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

To put it bluntly, the two countries bleed, which country has thicker blood than which country, and which country has longer bleeding.

If you want to win in danger, you must do as written in the letter.

In this way, you can defeat the Xifan army in one fell swoop, fight quickly, and win a complete victory.

But at the same time, the risk is extremely great, and no one can guarantee that this is definitely not a trap.

If it was the trick of the people of the Xifan people, they rashly entered the Xifan army camp and got into the trap set by the other party in advance, then it was undoubtedly a meat bun to beat the dog, and there was no return.

At this time, it is testing the decision makers' judgment.

There was a silence in the room, and people were looking at Li Yu.

Li Yu wandered for a long time, and he stopped and asked, "What do you think Xunguo Duke thinks?"

Liang Ping said in a deep voice: "Just relying on such a mere letter, Your Highness, I think it is not credible!"

Li Yu's eyes turned, looked at Chen Fang, and asked, "What do General Chen think?"

Chen Fang's eyes drooped, and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, I think that you must not miss the opportunity, and you will never come again!"

After a moment of pause, he added: "If the content of the letter is true and we still do not move when the Saro Legion swears, then the 200,000 Saro Legion will probably all die at the hands of the Xifan Army!"

yes!

There is only one chance.

Should we seize it or give up?

Li Yu also had difficulty making a decision for a while.

Successful, everything is easy to say.

But if you fail, the result will be more than just a defeat, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out in an instant.

The more serious consequence is that the generals of the Xifan army have no resistance and can go south and take the capital. The entire Zhou State is in danger of destruction.

Therefore, the decision made by Li Yu at this time was directly related to the destiny of the entire Zhou State, and the pressure was too great.

The two most important generals under his command, Shen Fang, were in charge of fighting and Liang Ping, were in charge of guarding. The disagreement of their opinions also made Li Yu even more embarrassed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone will go back first, I need to think about it carefully too!"

"I'm going to leave!"

Chen Fang, Liang Ping and others intervened and bowed one after another, turned around and walked out of the room.

After falling outside, Liang Ping and Shen Fang were also arguing about this matter.

Liang Ping's opinion was very simple, and his position was crucial. The court and even the emperor would put all his treasures on him. Once his side was defeated, the Great Zhou would be in danger.

Therefore, it is better to miss the opportunity than to take a little risk.

The key is that you can't afford to lose.

Shenfang's opinions are also very practical.

Now, there are the rebellion of the Nine Kings in the Zhou Kingdom.

In order to quell the rebellion, the court has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Where can there be any extra national strength to fight the war of attrition with the Xifan Kingdom?

In a short period of time, Zhou Guo could still afford to rely on his savings of more than ten years.

But after a long time, what else should I do when my family is exhausted?

By then, without the need for external enemies to attack the capital, the Zhou Kingdom would collapse from the inside.

Therefore, only a quick battle with the Xifan Army is the only way to save the Great Zhou.

Both of them have their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone.

But relatively speaking, neither of them is a decision-maker, and the pressure they face is much smaller than that of Li Yu.

Li Yu returned to his study and was in a state of ease.

I picked up a book casually, but I couldn't read it at all.

He came out of the study and walked around the yard outside.

Now, he really hopes that he can have a pair of eyes that predict the unknown and see clearly whether this is a trap.

At this time, Li Yu's embarrassment and pressure were too great, which made Jinwu see it.

He and Li Kang stood aside from a distance and muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness's burden is too heavy!"

Li Kangshen nodded in agreement.

yes!

The emperor, and even the court, put all the burdens related to the national destiny on His Highness alone. In fact, this is very unfair to His Highness!

Li Kang said angrily: "There are so many founding heroes in the court, and they can recruit talents from generals who are used to fighting, but they stay at home to hide in leisure, and let the palace be punished for this life, which is really a pity!"

Jinwu asked in a low voice: "What can I do to relax His Highness?"

Li Kang's eyes rolled, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he whispered: "Some time ago, weren't there many officials who were searched?"

"yes!"

"The female family members in these officials' families have become official prostitutes, and their subordinates can bring back a group!"

That's it?

The golden crow showed disapprovingly.

Li Kang curled his lips and said, "Beautiful beauty can really relax people, but Eunuch Jin doesn't understand!"

Jinwu glared at him angrily, but after thinking about it, he thought that Li Kang's idea could be tried.

He whispered, "Go quickly and return quickly!"

Li Kang nodded and responded, turned around and left quickly.

Not long after, Li Kang brought back more than a dozen young and beautiful women from outside.

Young, fifteen or sixteen years old, the oldest, not more than twenty.

Li Kang arranged these women in the backyard, and then went to the study room and looked inside.

Seeing Jinwu looking at him, he nodded.

Jinwu understood and walked to Li Yu, intervened and bowed, and said, "Your Highness!"

Li Yu, who was walking around, stopped and looked at the Jinwu in confusion.

Jinwu whispered: "Li Kang found a group of Kabuki from outside. Do you want to go and have a look?"
