Chapter 393 The Ladies’ Visit
After getting the confirmation, the Persian emperor shook his body violently and sat down on the dragon throne.
He didn't expect that Jadeya's army was also defeated.
And they were defeated so completely.
Jadeya's army had 300,000 soldiers, while Daqian had only 70,000.
How could Jia Diya lose like this?
"Your Majesty, General Jia was defeated by the Daqian army. Our situation is somewhat dangerous. Daqian is likely to attack us with the momentum of their great victory."
The general also knelt down hurriedly.
"You are right. Daqian will definitely attack us next. We must be prepared!"
"Come here, order the immediate convening of the Council of Nobles to discuss countermeasures."
The Persian emperor said in a deep voice.
"I will obey your order."
The general immediately accepted the order.
.......
three days later.
In the Persian capital, the Council of Nobles convened.
More than one hundred powerful nobles from all over Persia gathered in the parliament, each with a solemn expression.
They also knew that Daqian was about to invade.
“Guys, what should we do now?”
The Persian emperor sitting on the main throne asked.
Since the death of the previous Persian emperor, the new emperor has ascended the throne.
The political landscape of Persia underwent a major change. The power in Persia was no longer decided by the emperor alone, but was jointly controlled by the emperor and the nobles, and the nobles had greater power.
Therefore, in the face of the impending threat, the emperor must consult with the aristocratic forces.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the conflict between us and Daqian is irreconcilable. If that is the case, then we should accept the challenge."
A noble stood up and said.
Hearing this, the other Persian nobles all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Daqian's attack this time has a clear goal, which is to destroy Persia in one fell swoop."
"So we don't need to be polite to him. We should just send our army to fight Daqian directly."
“Yes, a decisive battle!”
......
"Everyone, it's easy for you to say that. We Persians just lost 700,000 elite soldiers. Now we have less than 200,000 elite soldiers left in the country. How can we be a match for Daqian with only 200,000 troops?"
"You should know that Daqian currently has at least 500,000 elite troops, and reports indicate that another 300,000 reserve troops are on their way. Once they are fully assembled, that would be an army of 800,000."
An old noble frowned.
"Eight hundred thousand, so what? Do we have any other options?"
"We must gather all the strength we can muster and fight Daqian to the death. This battle is either you or me."
Another noble shouted angrily.
"Yes, Yamal is right. It's either you or me, so everyone should use all your savings and stop hoarding your strength."
"We must use our strongest strength to fight against Daqian, otherwise, what awaits us will be a catastrophic disaster!"
A noble echoed.
"Yes, that's how it should be."
"I agree."
“Agreed.”
"..."
Immediately, one noble after another echoed.
"Alright! Since everyone agrees, let's do as everyone says and concentrate all our strength to fight Daqian to the death."
"Now, let's discuss the specific countermeasures..."
The Persian emperor gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone praised in unison.
Afterwards, everyone gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with Daqian.
The main task is to allocate troops and prepare food and fodder.
Each family will be allocated according to the size of the fiefdom and the number of people.
Although the nobles felt very painful to do so, there was nothing they could do. If Persia was gone, what hope would they have?
Otherwise they would not support the emperor's decision.
Soon, transfer orders were sent to various parts of Persia by carrier pigeons.
Soon after, all parts of Persia began to take action, recruiting soldiers, preparing food and supplies, and forging weapons and armor.
Meanwhile, in Karachi city.
"Your Majesty!"
In the city lord's mansion, generals such as Bai Qi and Yue Fei paid their respects to Ning Quan.
"No need to be polite. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Ning Quan waved his hand.
"I am not tired of waiting. This is my duty."
Bai Qi cupped his hands and said.
"Um!"
Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction.
Then he asked, "I believe you all know the purpose of calling you here this time, which is to conquer Persia."
"So, do you have any ideas or solutions?"
"Your Majesty, we discussed this on the way here, and we all agree that Persia is now completely incapable of stopping our attack."
"In that case, why don't we unite our forces and attack directly, taking the Persian capital in one fell swoop?"
Yue Fei spoke first.
"I agree with General Yue's opinion."
"I agree."
"I agree, but I have another opinion. The Persian capital is right on the coastline, so it would be best if we could use large ships and navy!"
Huo Qubing and Han Xin expressed their opinions, and Bai Qi even put forward his own opinions.
"Well, that's fine. As the saying goes, a single battle determines everything. I'll proceed according to your plan."
"As for the large ships and navy, I agree with your opinion and will cooperate with you when the time comes."
Ning Quan thought about it and nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise."
General Bai Qi and others bowed and expressed their gratitude.
"Everyone, you should all return tomorrow morning."
"As soon as you are ready, send troops to Persia."
"Yes!"
Everyone said respectfully.
"Well, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today. I'm going to treat you all to a feast tonight. Don't leave until you're drunk!"
Ning Quan laughed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We will enjoy it to our heart's content!"
The generals laughed.
“Haha, let’s go!”
“I won’t go home until I’m drunk tonight!”
"Hahaha......"
Suddenly, the banquet began.
At a banquet, all the ministers drank to their heart's content.
……
Early the next morning, Bai Qi and others returned to Islamabad.
Ning Quan continued to stay in Karachi, preparing to lead the navy to assist in the attack on the Persian capital.
Persia is the last piece of the Asian territory. If we take over Persia, the whole of Asia will be under our control.
Ning Quan wanted to witness this moment with his own eyes. After finishing all these things, he prepared to return to Beijing.
"Report!"
Just then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Come in!"
Ning Quan frowned.
Soon, a guard hurried into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Queen and several concubines have arrived."
"What!"
Ning Quan was surprised.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and several concubines have arrived."
the guard repeated.
"Where is the man?"
Ning Quan stood up quickly.
"Your Majesty, the flying car just landed in the front yard."
"Oh my god, you came here in a flying car? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Come on, take me to see it."
After Ning Quan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to walk outside.
......
"May your majesty be blessed with good health. Your humble servants and I pay our respects to you."
As soon as Ning Quan walked into the front hall, he saw Li Wanyue, Jin Xiaozhu, Sikong Ruo and Aruna kneeling on the ground and bowing to him in unison.
"Please stand up straight. No need to be so polite."
Ning Quan said quickly.
