After all, Ye Junwen is the Grand Marshal of the Empire and now controls all the troops in the Empire (nominally), so he must attend this emergency meeting. This is the first time Ye Junwen has attended the palace meeting. He didn't call him before, but he just made an excuse and stopped going. However, this time he couldn't hide and had to attend.

Ye Junwen was the last person to arrive at the palace at this time. Other ministers dared not be so arrogant and even let the emperor wait for you. However, Ye Junwen is of course privileged, especially for such military conferences, he is much more useful than the emperor. If he doesn't, everyone will have to wait.

"The Imperial Marshal Serina is here!" Soon the voice of the palace guards came, and the ministers quickly stood up and looked at the front door of the hall. At this time, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they certainly had to obey Ye Junwen on the surface. Isn't this just cleaned? Who knows if the cleaning is finished? No one wants to be the next one.

Soon Ye Junwen walked into the palace hall. Of course, Selena also came with Ye Junwen. It would be no harm for her to show up in front of the ministers. If everyone knows who she is, if Ye Junwen is not with her in the future, at least she can hold on for a while.

Ye Junwen also looked at the situation in the palace hall. Last time he came, the palace was captured. At that time, it was really messy here, but now after sorting it out, it has indeed improved a lot. Looking at Bevli above, this was the first time Ye Junwen saw Bevli in formal wear. What he saw before were basically wearing private clothes. It was true that Bevli was wearing the queen's clothes, so Bevli looked quite like that.

Ye Junwen's position was just a little lower than the emperor, and no one dared to grab the position except him. Of course, Ye Junwen would not salute Bevli, so he walked directly to his seat and sat down. Selena also stood consciously behind Ye Junwen.

"Okay, what's the situation?" Ye Junwen asked lightly.

"Master Marshal." A civil servant here stepped forward and said. Of course, Ye Junwen didn't even know who the civil servant was. He couldn't name any of the people here. "In the morning, we suddenly received a letter of declaration of war from the Segus Empire. This was really very sudden. There was no sign of any sign before that. The other party suddenly announced the war. This was really shameful!"

While speaking, the other party handed Ye Junwen a document-like thing to Ye Junwen. At this time, Ye Junwen was also very familiar with the words on the other world. After a little look, this declaration of war was indeed written by the emperor of the Segus Empire. The meaning above was roughly that a region called Messest has been the sacred territory of their Segus Empire since ancient times and is inviolable. Then, now this land is in the hands of the Holy Wilan Empire, so they have to start a war to regain their territory.

Of course, this kind of excuse for war is really casually found. Yes, I have said before that the three major empires of the human race often start wars. There are so many excuses for war between the three countries. Just pick one out and you can start wars. So this reason is not the point at all. There is no point in arguing about this. Even if you prove that the Messest region is the territory of the Saint Wayland Empire since ancient times, it is useless to continue fighting with an excuse.

At this moment, it is of course useless to compromise. What they want is definitely not the land in the Messester area. Even if you give them, they will immediately find another excuse. Everyone knows this, so this meeting discusses what the other party wants and how to deal with it.

"At present, the Segus Empire must have seen the empire newly established and its foothold has not yet stabilized, so it wants to take the opportunity to attack us." The minister here said, "The other party's purpose is definitely not a simple matter of territory. I think the other party's intention may be to find a way to destroy us."

"The Prime Minister is right." Another minister next to him said. At this time, Ye Junwen realized that the person who gave him the letter of war before was the prime minister of the Holy Weilan Empire. The so-called prime minister is the head of civil officials. Ye Junwen, as the head of military officers, had never even seen the other party before, so there was no one else.

"Your Majesty, it is useless to compromise. At this time, we can only fight back firmly." The prime minister here continued.

The hatred between the three human empires cannot be clearly stated in one sentence, so the prime minister said that he would fight back, and everyone basically agreed. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't surrender. Everyone thought so. However, most people didn't know whether he could beat him or not.

Yes, as civil servants of the empire, no one could tell how much combat effectiveness their empire's army had. They didn't know at all. Everyone looked at Ye Junwen, and only Ye Junwen told them about this problem.

"It's possible to beat it." Ye Junwen also spoke at this time, "But I don't want to beat it at the moment."

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned. What was going on if they didn't want to fight.

"No money." Ye Junwen spread his hands, "I just finished the war and didn't have so much military expenditure now. Although I robbed a lot of it from other places, the money was not immediately available."

These ministers didn't know whether the money Ye Junwen robbed naturally fell into his own pocket, and of course it was impossible to hand it over. Ye Junwen would not now take out the money to post it to the treasury for them to fight.

"But marshal..."

"Don't worry." Ye Junwen interrupted the prime minister who was about to talk here and said, "In fact, things are not that troublesome. Even if we have money now, we can afford the army and can defeat the other side. At present, there are three empires in the human race."

"Marson Marshal is saying...Massodra Empire? But the Massodra Empire just experienced a war. They fought with the barbarians in the north. They are also very weak at present. It is estimated that the Segus Empire will take the opportunity to attack us when it sees this opportunity." The prime minister said.

"Of course I know." Ye Junwen nodded. The war with the Massodra Empire was the war in which Ye Junwen made his fortune. Of course, he knew that the Massodra Empire finally withdrew due to an accident in the country. "But even if they are very weak now, those who are involved in such a thing will send troops. If the Segus Empire really annexed us, what they are waiting for is the fate of destruction. So if one side of this war is in crisis, they will definitely send troops."

"That is to say, if we defeat the Segus Empire, the Massodra Empire will also send troops to help them?" Although the prime minister was talking about a question, the meaning was affirmative, and he had already asked and answered himself.

"So I'm not using this matter." Ye Junwen said, "It would be better to let the Massodra Empire sell their troops by selling troops at this time. If we want them to send troops, just make them feel that we are almost done."

"In other words, the marshal means we... show weakness?" asked the prime minister.

"Yes." Ye Junwen nodded, "If you send troops directly to the border, it will be a waste of money. We don't have that much money at all. It's better to wait for the enemy's troops here. Once the troops of the Segus Empire break into our territory, the Massodra Empire will not be able to sit still when we get the news. In order to maintain balance, they may attack the other party's territory and force the other party to return. Of course, the Segus Empire should also think of this. There must be defensive troops. When they start the war, we will solve the army entering our country. We won't worry about the people of the Massodra Empire coming to intervene again."

"This..." the ministers discussed one after another. To be honest, they thought Ye Junwen's plan was quite reasonable, but is it a bit too bold to give up his own territory? The enemy's burning, killing and looting after entering their territory will cause a huge blow to their national strength?

"But Marshal, if the enemy's army enters our territory to burn, kill, and plunder, will it have a bad effect on us? This is the first war between the three empires after the new emperor ascended the throne, and we will be so weak. If the people are against the new emperor..."

"Isn't it enough to win in the end?" Ye Junwen directly interrupted the prime minister and said, "No matter how much the people made trouble before, as long as they win in the end, they would be eliminated."

Ye Junwen's words made everyone feel a headache. Although this win is the same as what Ye Junwen said, but if they lose, they will all become traitors who are passively resisting. At that time, if the enemy does not solve them, the people will kill them.

Ye Junwen seemed to be unable to see this and continued, "Of course, you can't keep losing, otherwise it would be too obvious. The people of the Segus Empire are not idiots, so even if they lose, they will not lose so obviously... By the way, I just have a solution."

"Master Marshal, what is the solution?" asked the prime minister.

"The border between the Segus Empire and our empire seems to be defending the Fourth Legion troops, right? Then let us tell them to let them defend to the death." Ye Junwen said.

"Oh...this..." Everyone was shocked. Yes, it is not clear whether the Fourth Legion is loyal to them now. You asked them to defend the enemy?

"Of course, it is impossible for a legion to be defended. The enemy seems to say that they will send a 500,000 army to conquer us, right? Five hundred thousand is definitely fake, but there are 20 or 300,000, and there are definitely 20 or 300,000. A legion cannot stop it. Let the Third Legion go to the Fourth Legion base as reinforcements."
