Chancellor, Su Qianxue and Jiang Han are always winning at gambling!
It's true; we can't afford to gamble with him. Instead of trying to win what we want through a bet, we might as well launch a full-scale attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty! Jiu Zhu said earnestly, genuinely hoping that Mu Prime Minister would avoid gambling.
This Palace is Xia Guo Jiu Zhu. This Palace has lost so much that it feels numb, even losing Mu Jinkun's life in the process! Every time I think I'm bound to win and want to gain more, the result is always a complete disaster.
I truly hope you, Mu Prime Minister, do not have to experience this firsthand! Jiu Zhu, I want more as well; we need to achieve the strategic goals of Xia Kingdom! Even if we don't gamble with Su Qianxue, we must engage in battle—this fight is unavoidable! The political implications behind it are essential for our entire Xia Kingdom!
Since we cannot avoid this situation, why not take a gamble? Mu Prime Minister patiently responded to Jiu Zhu: Su Qianxue wants more, and I want more too! In this case, we can only resort to gambling to fight! Moreover, we can avoid the other armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty attacking us en masse!
In short, with an advantage of a hundred thousand against ten thousand, how could we lose? If the Xia Kingdom's army cannot win against ten thousand, then they might as well perish together—there's no need for them to live.
Why wait when such a great benefit is at stake? Besides, entering into a gamble is something both sides expect. Mu Prime Minister aims for a battle that will shock the nations and even hopes to gain more! For instance, releasing Mu Jinkun! Capturing Jiang Han! These demands cannot be negotiated at the table!
Moreover, if a full-scale war breaks out and we suffer defeat against the Great Zhou Dynasty, in a fit of rage they might execute Mu Jinkun and let Jiang Han escape! Then this Chancellor would end up with none of what he desires.
So why not seize such a significant opportunity? Jiu Zhu took a deep breath and looked at Mu Prime Minister, feeling as if he were seeing his former self—why is there such greed? The darkness of human nature; if one chooses not to gamble but instead slowly engages in war, the benefits won't be as great and time will be wasted.
But it's safer that way!
One battle to determine the fate of the world!
If His Majesty intends to attack the Northern Wolf Court, we must swiftly suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty to ensure that the many vassal states do not dare to act recklessly!
Jiu Zhu, do not speak any further; it is settled this way. Ben Xiang has made up his mind!
Mu Prime Minister waved his hand, signaling Jiu Zhu to stop talking.
He believed that if we have the advantage, there would be no need for a gamble; we should go straight to war! If a small skirmish escalates into a full-blown conflict, forcing the Xia Kingdom to shift its strategic focus, the losses could be catastrophic! Even if we were to annihilate the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it might not be worth it.
Ah, this Palace truly has no words left!
Chancellor, your gambling spirit is quite strong! Jiu Zhu was utterly speechless. She felt as if she could only watch helplessly as Mu Prime Minister fell into the pit.
Mu Prime Minister looked at Jiu Zhu as if she were a fool and said, “What you said today will surely reach the ears of the Xia Kingdom’s soldiers! They will be stirred up and come questioning you. With a hundred thousand against a hundred thousand, aren’t Su Qianxue’s soldiers invincible?”
Alright, Jiu Zhu, stop talking!
I have made up my mind!
He turned around and left decisively.
Seeing this scene, Jiu Zhu couldn’t help but feel despondent.
Wen Xinhong tried to console her: “A hundred thousand against a hundred thousand really has no possibility of defeat! Moreover, this is just an open plain battle. With over a hundred thousand of us attacking together, we have the advantage!”
I can’t imagine how the Great Zhou Dynasty could win!
From the perspective of their cavalry commander, you indeed possess advanced weaponry; that much is true! But with a hundred thousand troops, there will be a hundred thousand cavalry charging in—mountains and plains filled with them.
Even if my hundred thousand cavalry suffer losses exceeding ten thousand during the charge, the remaining troops would be enough to annihilate your Great Zhou Dynasty’s army. Not to mention, there are still ten thousand Heavy Infantry who have yet to engage!
With our advantage, this is an impossible situation for defeat.
Jiu Zhu looked at Wen Xinhong with melancholy. After pondering for a long time, she said, “At that time, this Palace and Mu Jinkun thought the same way!”
After some thought, she decided to visit the prison of the Great Zhou Dynasty to see Mu Jinkun.
In Xingbu Prison, Jiu Zhu arrived at Mu Jinkun's cell under the pretense of a visit.
Mu Jinkun stood up excitedly. Upon hearing that you had arrived, he couldn't contain his enthusiasm. "So, did my father bring the Jade Sword?"
Jiu Zhu pondered for a moment and then recounted everything that had happened recently, especially the decision made by Mu Prime Minister to engage in a gambling match.
Mu Jinkun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, collapsing onto the ground as he muttered, "Father, you were wise all your life, but how could you be so foolish this time? How can we possibly win this gamble? Jiang Han and Su Qianxue are unbeatable when it comes to gambling!"
He sighed deeply, reflecting on how many times he had thought he would win only to end up losing everything. He looked at Jiu Zhu and asked, "Did you not try to persuade him?"
"The stakes are too high," Jiu Zhu replied sadly. "Your father believes he will win and thinks that through this match, he can eliminate the main forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty's new army!"
Mu Jinkun lamented, "He’s delusional! How many times has he had the advantage over me? Did I ever win? Jiang Han is a miraculous man who can turn the tide in any situation! No matter how dire it looks, he always manages to pull off a victory. I wouldn’t be surprised if Su Qianxue is his lover!"
He cursed under his breath, "That woman has relied on Jiang Han to beat me countless times. Does my father not know this?"
"He does know," Jiu Zhu admitted. "But he thinks you're no match for them; he believes they are formidable opponents."
Mu Jinkun sighed in despair, murmuring, "Every time I thought I would win! Not once did I feel that Jiang Han would lose, yet every time he triumphed! Although this time it seems like there’s no chance for Jiang Han and Su Qianxue to win... But those two must have some tricks up their sleeves!"
"Go call my father here! I need to wake him up! We cannot let him gamble away our Mu Family's fortune!"
Mu Jinkun was beside himself with worry. He thought to himself, "If I’ve already fallen into this pit, why should my father jump in too?"
Jiu Zhu considered this and said, "Your father may not listen to you!"
"Whether he listens or not, I must try!" Mu Jinkun declared resolutely. "With a hundred thousand against ten thousand, it looks like a sure win, but I’m willing to bet my life on it—there must be something fishy going on!"
