Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Tiandou Empire, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, an urgent dispatch from the border, eight hundred li away!"

Xue Qinghe had just finished dealing with the affairs of the duchy when he received the message from the Minister of Military Affairs.

Xue Qinghe opened the letter and frowned slightly.

"The Star Luo Empire's border army, numbering 1.2 million, has already crossed the border."

She naturally knew what this meant.

The Star Luo Empire is trying to fight against the heavens!

Upon hearing this, the officials below were filled with unease.

Yes, their Heavenly Dou territory is larger than Star Luo's, and they also have better resources, but in terms of national strength...
The duchies and kingdoms are disobedient and do not heed orders. If it weren't for Xue Qinghe's military intimidation over the past two years, those feudal lords would have rebelled long ago. They would not be as submissive as they are now.

The Heavenly Dou Empire practices a feudal system.

Back in the day, the empire had ten provinces!
However, as time went on, this system made the situation more complicated, eventually giving rise to four kingdoms and forming a six-way power structure.

The Tiandou royal family, on the other hand, acted like a chess player controlling the overall situation, firmly holding power over the five provinces.

Each of the four kingdoms has its own unique strengths and controls a province, while the principality occupies the smallest province in the east.

This situation is truly a country within a country, with each going its own way, and the situation is so complicated that it's a real headache.

However, if the Heavenly Dou royal family hadn't controlled such a large military force, things would probably have descended into chaos long ago!

The most troublesome of all is the Kingdom of Barak!

Xingluo had taken a keen eye on the situation in the Barak Kingdom, and almost half of its military force was concentrated there.

The Kingdom of Barak is the gateway to the empire and an important grain reserve; it cannot be lost.

"By imperial decree, order Goron to lead 300,000 troops to reinforce the Kingdom of Barak. The Kingdom of Barak is the gateway to the empire; it cannot be lost!"

Although the Kingdom of Barak is the strongest, it is frequently attacked by other duchies and kingdoms due to its geographical location.

Moreover, they also face the dual threats of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, although their strength has been increasing over the years, they have also faced more and more enemies, especially the Star Luo Empire.

Their development in the past two years has made the Barak Kingdom somewhat uneasy, so in recent years, their military strength has reached more than 700,000.

Now, Xue Qinghe's order to Golong is to guard the gates of the Barak Kingdom.

At the same time, it prevents the Star Luo army from crossing the threshold of the Barak Kingdom and directly entering the heart of the Heavenly Dou territory.

"Your Majesty, what if the Kingdom of Barak does not agree to Marshal Goron's aid?"

At this moment, a minister spoke up and asked a question.

The Kingdom of Barak is now much stronger than before, and due to the suppression by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, their relationship with the Star Luo Empire is now very close.

Xingluo's military strength has increased significantly in the past two years due to the Barak Kingdom's allegiance. What if the Barak Kingdom refuses Marshal Goron's aid?
Upon hearing the opinions of the ministers below, Xue Qinghe frowned and said, "Someone, go and invite the Imperial Tutor."

Xue Qinghe is now somewhat worried about whether his decision is correct. After all, the foundation of the Tiandou royal family is not yet fully stable. If they rashly take action against the Barak Kingdom, it will definitely cause turmoil.

The most important thing for the empire now is to stabilize the overall situation.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe was still somewhat unsure of what to do.

Normally, this would be the time to adjourn the court session, but given the current situation, no one wanted to leave early.

They are native nobles of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom. If they are really defeated by the Star Luo Kingdom, all their wealth and glory will be gone.

Therefore, none of them wanted to leave early, but instead waited to see what Xue Qinghe was going to do.

After all, although Xue Qinghe is now an adult, he still has limited experience, and he still needs their advice on some things.

Not long after, Ning Fengzhi slowly walked into the main hall under the guidance of a young eunuch. When the officials on the side saw the Imperial Tutor, they hurriedly stepped aside to let him step forward.

"The teacher is here! Someone, please bring a seat!"

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi slowly approaching, Xue Qinghe hurriedly began to make arrangements.

Now that Ning Fengzhi has arrived, it's natural that we need him to make the decision.

It's not that Xue Qinghe has no ideas, but it's just that this is a life-or-death moment. As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is allied with the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, how can they not drag them into this mess?
This is also to better implement that plan.

She originally planned to send troops to attack Xingluo after integrating Tiandou, but now that Xingluo has taken action on its own, Xue Qinghe naturally has to adjust her plans.

"Teacher, the Barak Kingdom's stance is currently unclear, and the Star Luo Army has already amassed troops on the border. What do you think we should do?"

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Kingdom of Barak has been their adversary for years, and the intervention of the Spirit Hall in the last two years has further worsened their relationship.

For years, Ning Fengzhi has been working on the Barak Kingdom, but they have never given in.

In addition, the royal family of the Barak Kingdom has been terrified by Xue Qinghe in recent years. With each policy implemented, the original royal family has lost its former power of control.

Ning Fengzhi slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the assembled officials in the hall, his face revealing no emotion. He did not answer immediately, but instead sighed softly, as if weighing some profound consideration.

Xue Qinghe looked at him quietly without saying a word, waiting for his answer.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly, “Your Majesty, now that the Star Luo Empire has invaded, we should certainly meet them head-on. However, the Heavenly Dou Imperial Family's foundation is unstable, and it is not advisable to provoke trouble rashly. I suggest we first negotiate with the Spirit Hall to see what their opinion is. At the same time, we should dispatch Marshal Ge Long's 300,000 troops directly to the border of the Barak Kingdom to prevent a surprise attack by the Star Luo army. Then, we should send diplomatic envoys to the Star Luo Empire for initial contact. If their attitude remains unclear, then we can proceed with further discussions.”

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's answer, Xue Qinghe frowned slightly. Wasn't this a bit too conservative?
Xingluo came prepared this time, and Tang San is always decisive. Although he is a bit stupid, don't really treat him as a fool at a time like this.

Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers.

"Your Majesty, although the Kingdom of Barak has maintained good relations with the Spirit Hall for the past two years, they haven't completely submitted to it yet. We've been working on them for the past two years, and if we can use the Spirit Hall to bring them out now, it will save us a lot of trouble. Furthermore, the sudden attack by the Star Luo army indicates they were prepared. Our most important task now is to stabilize the situation. As long as the Heaven Dou royal family remains stable, the empire will not fall into chaos. The Spirit Hall hasn't gained any advantage from Star Luo in the past two years, but now that Star Luo is well-prepared, it will surely cause the Spirit Hall a lot of headaches. Now is the time for us to reap the benefits."

At this moment, a minister spoke up. (End of Chapter)
