Even Darius himself didn't know that his ability in government affairs had reached a level close to that of a kingdom's prime minister.

Because he had no chance to get started, he never paid attention to this matter when he was in Noxus, because these matters would be perfectly solved by Swain, and there was no need for him to intervene.

Moreover, he represents "strength". He only needs to manage the Noxian army well, and leave other aspects to foresight and cunning.

However, because Darius and Swain have a very good relationship, Swain will often leave some tasks to Darius that require a strong person to do.

Darius didn't quite understand why Swain did what he did, but after doing these things, he could see a result, and then through the results and means, he could deduce the reason why Swain did what he did.

Unconsciously, his ability in government affairs began to grow.

But Darius's political ability did not start to increase after the establishment of the Trifali Council.

Swain often gave Darius advice, and would only explain in letters what Darius needed to do, without telling Darius why he should do it. Darius did it, but he could not

Thinking about why you do this?

Swain once asked him to set fire to the forest next to a city. Within a few days, the city surrendered.

The reason is very simple. At that time, Noxus already had quite a reputation. It set fires in the forest, and Swain's spies delivered false news as arranged, which made the reinforcements that the city should have thought that the city was

Already fallen.

Without reinforcements, and being no match for Noxus, Darius followed Swain's request and sent a "surrender of integrity" letter from the city's allies. Why didn't they surrender?

I made an agreement with my allies to advance and retreat together and resist Noxus's advance. However, I was just surrounded by Noxus and you surrendered to Noxus in the blink of an eye. I'm still giving you a slap in the face.

Over time, when Darius's own planning ability was improved, it also became biased. He no longer focused the planning required to lead the army on war, but focused on government affairs, but he himself did not think that

It is a matter of government affairs. The upper ones attack the heart, the middle ones attack the strategy, and the lower ones fight.

It's obvious that he used military tactics to defeat the enemy, right?

"Then Darius, what do you think the empire should do first after defeating the armies of the East and West?"

Zhang Mingxuan continued to ask. Darius said that it was common sense, but he didn't believe it, but he also wanted to know what else Darius' "common sense" included.

"Why should we defeat them? Isn't the top priority not to defeat those people's army? If we can capture Nerimajie before the coalition forces of the princes arrive, we can naturally start to expand, but if not, don't let the war stop.

."

Darius did not think it was a good idea to defeat the enemy's army when Naerimaje was not his own territory. The empire needed time to develop, so the longer this war lasted, the better.

"Not defeating them? But our national strength cannot withstand the loss."

Zhang Mingxuan frowned. He felt that Darius was talking nonsense, but he was afraid that if he spoke clearly directly, Darius would be criticized.

Si was beaten violently.

"The loss of our national strength will not be very large. On the contrary, our losses will be very small. I will deal with the enemy forces on both sides, while I will hand them over to Balliard on the other side. There is no Army Soul Corps, and their soldiers are not any of ours at all.

One person's opponent, this is a very serious blow to their military morale.

Until we train the Army Soul Legion, we will not have the ability to fight against the Army Soul Legion in the hands of the princes. Before that, we will not be able to completely defeat their armies.

With Valliard and me here, the enemy's morale has been greatly reduced. Our morale is high and our equipment is also very sophisticated. At the same time, neither the army in the east nor the army in the west are from the desert. They are not adapted to the environment here.

, the strength that can be exerted or part of it can be reduced.

Even if it is a frontal battle, our battle losses will not be much. We have our own way to solve the problem of food and grass. The so-called loss of national power should not be worried from the beginning."

Balliard is no longer in a hurry to expand, why? Because they don't have a military spirit legion and can't defend their territory. Now these cities are all cities in the desert, with poor supplies and not valued by other princes.

The only thing that can make those princes pay attention to the new country is the name of Sima Yi, the great emperor Baliard. But if he fails to defeat the coalition of princes for a long time, those princes will lower their guard and wait until the new country has the military spirit army.

, after starting to expand, everything was too late.

"...Is this also common sense?"

Zhang Mingxuan wanted to deny what Darius said, but with the facts in front of him, it was difficult for him to deny it. He even felt that what Darius said was correct.

Balliard's force value has been vividly demonstrated in the previous wars. The battle in the Seal City spread Balliard's force to the ears of the nobles of the eastern families. If not, the eastern

The nobles of the aristocratic families will not launch an attack on the new country at this time.

As for food and supplies, it's not like he couldn't see the changes brought about by Balliard. Food was created out of thin air. He didn't know if there was an upper limit to this, but judging from Darius's attitude, they could create it.

There is a lot of food.

There are also those new types of "crossbows". Once used on a large scale, when their army faces other armies, it is very likely that they will completely annihilate the enemy with zero battle losses.

The underlying strength is so strong, but there is a lack of a military soul army that can calm the world and stabilize its rule. The empire really needs to train the military soul army as its main purpose, and the birth of the military soul army must inevitably involve war.

Keeping those troops can also be used as a whetstone to help your side train a military soul army.

"That's not the case."

Darius still feels that this is common sense. After all, it is said without using his brain. What is it if it is not common sense?

"I am bothering the general. I hope the general will not care about my fault."

What can Zhang Mingxuan say? Of course he is apologizing. He came here to trouble Darius because he doubted his ability. After being taught a lesson, he still doubted Darius' ability and came here.

Test the results of Darius training the army.

Who would have thought that Darius was so proficient in government affairs, and even said that it was just common sense. If common sense is like this, shouldn't Darius's military specialization be stronger?

Moreover, from the information revealed by Darius, it is not difficult to infer that Darius can train a military spirit army. Based on this, the right to recruit troops and build an army should be given.

But this news cannot be disclosed for the time being. Even if some aristocratic families turn to a wait-and-see attitude, he cannot reveal this information.

As for the aristocratic family, let alone waiting and watching, even if they are hostile to the empire, as long as the empire shows enough strength, the aristocratic family will surrender. They want an immortal family that lasts for thousands of years, not a feudal dynasty that lasts for one day.

The reason why the princes participated in the struggle for hegemony was largely to protect their own interests. The longer the war lasted, the greater the damage to the people's power. If it harmed the people's power, it would damage the interests of the family. In a sense, most people

They are all slaves of the noble family.

Not revealing the news that Darius can train a military soul army may cause dissatisfaction among some aristocratic families, but as long as Darius has trained a military soul army, what else can he say? Of course, he is just kneeling.

The military soul legions of this era are basically the legions left over from thousands of years ago. Generations of people have entered and left. The general soul legion has lasted for thousands of years, but in terms of combat effectiveness, compared with the real military soul legion, it is still

Somewhat inferior.

If Darius could train the Army Soul Legion, it would be very easy to defeat the existing Army Soul Legion.

At that time, no one would think that it was a stupid move for Emperor Sima Yi to give a general the power to recruit troops and build an army. This was a wise move.

On the one hand, he has attracted this person who can train the military soul army, and can also give the empire an additional military soul army. On the other hand, he has left an example. Do you want the right to build an army and recruit troops? It's not impossible, but you have to

Able to train an army of military souls.

In this way, the phenomenon of segregation of vassal towns will not occur due to imperial decrees.

Of course, if there are other people who can train the Army Soul Corps, these powers will naturally be given to them.

No matter which princes are on the road, if there is a talent who can train the military soul army, then naturally give them whatever they want. If they don’t want anything, they should quickly send it to them. In short, don’t care whether they need it or not, just lick it.

Already.

"Why is a big old man so polite? I thought you were very similar to that guy before, but now...hehe, maybe it's just the face that bears some resemblance."

After talking to Zhang Mingxuan for so long, Darius has been observing Zhang Mingxuan, and finally discovered why he felt that Zhang Mingxuan was somewhat familiar. The power hidden in this man was very similar to the power of Galen, but different.

, Galen’s power belongs to him, but this person’s power does not.

"That guy? Does the general recognize my ancestors?"

Zhang Mingxuan has never seen Darius before, and Darius certainly has not seen him, and Darius is probably the person who resurrected Emperor Sima Yi. So, the guy Darius talks about is not from his family.

Who else could the ancestor Zhang Wenyuan be?

"Your ancestor... well, we are old rivals. That guy doesn't have as many problems as you do."
