Chapter 1562: How many people? Three hundred death row prisoners?

Swish, swish, swish!

In the Jin Luandian, following Gao Yang's voice.

Almost in an instant, the officials fell silent.

Their eyes all gathered on Gao Yang, filled with intense shock.

Gao Yang executing the Xiongnu envoy was, in their eyes, almost an inevitable event, after all, the retaliation brought by the Xiongnu Chanyu was too ruthless.

Gao Linyuan had become a cripple.

Gao Tianlong had fallen ill because of it.

Chu Qingluan and the child were to be sent to the Xiongnu for a marriage alliance.

Even Shangguan Wan'er had been targeted by the Xiongnu Chanyu.

They were just astonished that Gao Yang had executed the Xiongnu envoy directly in court.

But they hadn't thought about going to war; how many fools could reach the court? The reason Helian Cha did this, and even deliberately left Gao Linyuan alive and turned him into a cripple, was because he hoped that every time Gao Yang saw Gao Linyuan, his hatred would deepen.

Such painstaking efforts were made in the hope that Gao Yang would impulsively request to fight.

This action played right into Helian Cha's hands.

But Gao Yang did it anyway.

And in the Jin Luandian, as the Marquis Champion, he requested to fight!

Yan Zheng's face turned pale, and he could not stop looking at Wu Zhao.

His old eyes were filled with endless worry.

Honestly speaking, Da Qian was strong enough now, and he did not want to fight; if they won, it would naturally be a happy occasion, but if they lost... that would be a huge blow to Da Qian.

"Prime Minister Gao, how many people do you want?" Wu Zhao asked.

Hearing this, Gao Yang bowed and said, "Besides my previous eight hundred personal guards, I only want three hundred death row prisoners!"

"Three hundred death row prisoners are enough!"

Boom!

As soon as Gao Yang said this.

The officials were stunned.

Three hundred death row prisoners plus eight hundred personal guards, and he dared to go deep into the Mobei grasslands to seek revenge on the Xiongnu Great Chanyu?

He was crazy!

He was truly crazy!

Let alone Yan Zheng, even Lu Zhen was full of astonishment.

The next moment.

Wu Zhao stood up slowly,

She said faintly: "I am not that stingy."

Then, she drew the Son of Heaven sword from the side.

"Since my Marquis Champion wants to fight—"

The next moment.

Wu Zhao slashed down with her sword, shattering the dragon desk.

Following that, the domineering and arrogant voice also spread through the entire Jin Luandian like a stormy sea.

"Then let us fight until the heavens and earth are overturned!"

Wu Zhao stood on the steps, her phoenix eyes scanning the officials; the black and red mysterious dragon robe displayed majesty, and her faint voice was mixed with unquestionable dominance and determination!

Just one sentence represented Wu Zhao's attitude.

Gao Yang wants to fight, then let us fight!

The officials' pupils shrank, their hearts shocked.

Wu Zhao did not stop him; on the contrary, this decree came too quickly.

Gao Yang's eyes were extremely deep; he bowed his head slightly and saluted Wu Zhao, "Your subject Gao Yang, thanks Your Majesty for the holy grace!"

"Your subject will not fail the holy grace; I will execute the Xiongnu Great Chanyu and use his blood to comfort the spirits of the loyal souls of the Da Qian borderlands in heaven!"

Seeing that everything was about to be settled, the officials also fell silent.

Yan Zheng's expression changed, and he became anxious.

He also knew Wu Zhao's determination; now that Gao Yang and Wu Zhao had joined forces, who could stop them?

But at this moment, Yan Zheng could only bite the bullet and stand out, "Your Majesty, this Xiongnu Great Chanyu is clearly trying to provoke the Living Yama."

"There might be a trap here!"

"And if you count the mobilization of troops, the movement of grain and fodder, and the army marching to the front line, I fear several months will pass; by then, in the autumn, the Xiongnu horses will have rested through the spring and summer and will be fat and strong, which is extremely unfavorable for our army!"

"Your subject is not trying to stop Your Majesty from sending troops, but I implore Your Majesty to think thrice; furthermore, the Xiongnu are located in Mobei, with vast territory and hard-to-find tracks; even if Lord Gao goes to war, I fear there will be few results!"

Yan Zheng knelt in the center of the Jin Luandian, his forehead pressed firmly against the ground, his voice following.

Since someone took the lead, the officials could not help but discuss.

This was the Xiongnu's advantage, the confidence of the Yan, Chu, and Qi kingdoms, and also Da Qian's disadvantage.

But to this.

Wu Zhao just swept her phoenix eyes and said coldly to the officials.

"According to Physician Yan, should my Da Qian just let the Xiongnu bully us at will? In the borderlands, the Xiongnu Chanyu sent a large army to raid my Yuyang City, burning, killing, and looting, doing all kinds of evil; the Governor Gao was even tortured by the Xiongnu Chanyu until he was no longer human!"

"If I don't send troops, should I just watch the Xiongnu cavalry act recklessly in my Da Qian? Or... does Physician Yan have a better method?"

Yan Zheng did not move, his head pressed firmly against the ground.

"Your Majesty, your subject thinks a marriage alliance is not a bad method; of course, this must not involve Lady Shangguan going for the marriage alliance; just send any palace maid and title her as a princess."

"If we can stop the fighting, that would be a great fortune for Da Qian!" ===== CHAPTER 1564 =====
