Daqi, located in the eastern part of the Tianfeng Dynasty, is a dynasty with a long history on the mainland.

The origin of this is now little known, and the only thing that people know is that the royal family surnamed Jiang was already a well-known and wealthy family on the mainland long before the emergence of the Great Xia Dynasty.

To the east is the Sea of Stars, to the west is the Heavenly Wind, to the north is the chaotic Kurosawa, and to the south is a small area of Dawu, which is already in a state of semi-annihilation.

In the war of the barbarian northward crossing in recent thousand years, they have not been able to fight the relatively distant Daqi, and the attitude of the people is relatively optimistic.

On the contrary, the courtiers of the Great Qi were trembling one by one, and every morning in the morning, they were in full swing discussing how the dynasty should deal with it if the barbarian army came to the territory of the Great Qi.

So much so that the king of Naqi saw in the court that his courtiers who always like to blame each other for national affairs, and he was relieved, and laughed and scolded that you old immortals don't know if you are really doing your best for the dynasty as you say, or you are just worried about your own life.

But the reason why the auxiliary cars are dependent on each other is that both the King of Qi and those courtiers know in their hearts that Dawu is gone, and the barbarians can use this springboard to suddenly appear in Yeyang City of the Tianfeng Dynasty, and they can also suddenly appear in any of their cities in Daqi.

As for King Qi's joking ridicule, no one really cared about it, whether it was himself or those courtiers.

The line between loyalty to the country and self-preservation is not as clear as people think.

If the country is not a country, what will they do to ensure their net worth?

At the beginning of the war, the people of Daqi did not have such a sense of urgency as they do now, as long as they were on the southern border to prevent the small army of the barbarians from accidentally stepping into the territory of the dynasty, the thousand-year catastrophe in the central and southern parts of the continent could be easily resolved.

Therefore, the Qi State only symbolically sent a few Tianwen Realm worshippers affiliated to the dynasty to divide into two groups, one group went directly south to the junction of the Great Wu Dynasty and Shuize, and the other group changed its route to the west after arriving in the Great Wu, and turned to the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the main force that had fought against the barbarians for thousands of years.

As for whether the barbarians will go all the way north to fight their own borders, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has even thought about it.

But now, after the barbarians had demonstrated their terrifying ability to leapfrog in groups, all their self-confidence had turned into sleepless restlessness.

Simply defending the border is now probably useless.

If the barbarians are coming, how to deal with it has become an imminent practical problem.

On the contrary, the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is located in the center of the southern countries, was ready to fight to the death with the barbarians more than a year ago.

The seven border cities in the south fell after being defeated to the death

Falling five, Youlan and Huangshang and a group of Southern Tang Dynasty ministers once thought that they were going to start a protracted war of attrition with the barbarians on their own territory, but they never thought that they were just shaking a shot, and they did not occupy the city after attacking the city, but just followed their nature, slaughtered in the city, and snatched all the materials that could be taken away, so they turned around and left, and withdrew to Yunmeng Shuize.

Huang Shang was raised by the god emperor Youlan after he came to power has been in charge of the dynasty's affairs, many years, the dynasty under his governance orderly forward forward, the Tang Dynasty lost the vitality of just 20 years has been completely restored, and even exceeded, although the territory of the dynasty is not as good as before, but when it comes to national strength, Youlan even agrees to be very confident that today's Southern Tang is not weaker than the Tang Dynasty in the past.

It is precisely because of the appreciation of Huang Shang's talent and ability that when the dynasty was in turmoil, Wang Lang, the old Taishan Wang Lang, who had led three Chinese books at the same time, has gradually retreated into the background in recent years, and rarely shows the dew.

Until recently, this old man, who has lived for tens of thousands of years and can be the ancestor of the God Emperor Youlan at any age, rejected the conservative opinion of the young left servant who was pinned on him by his high hopes in front of the Manchu Dynasty, and overrode the public opinion, asking the military department to send 800,000 troops back to Yunmeng Shuize, and then send another million Tang troops to the south one after another to fight with the barbarians outside the country.

Wang Lang asked the dynasty to take the initiative to fight, and by the way, he also slapped Huang Shang, the left servant who was recommended to the god emperor to be promoted, in the face, this inexplicable move made the officials who came to participate in the early dynasty that day confused, and even Huang Shang, who was also a teacher and friend with the old man on weekdays, was a little confused.

Most of the courtiers, including Yan Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wang Lang's own protégé, Zuo Tingshuang, who had just been transferred from Zhongshu Province to the Ministry of Rites a few years ago, were all biased towards Huang Shang, who advocated continuing to maintain a wait-and-see posture.

It's not just them, even ordinary people with a normal brain can figure out the truth of this kind of thing.

Other barbarians don't come to beat you, and you still rush to Yunmeng Shuize to find someone to fight, isn't this because you have too many people and no place to settle?

Many things that happen to others are stories, and if they happen to themselves, then they should be called accidents.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many wars between the barbarians, and I don't know how many people have died.

Everyone secretly wondered if this old man was too old and lived too long, and even his brain was confused.

Huang Shang didn't speak.

The two have not known each other for too long now, after all, there are also one or two decades of time, he knows this old man too well, and playing chess and betting with him on weekdays has always been step by step, and he is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles

I want to say why.

Therefore, after his decision was denied, Huang Sheng wisely chose to remain silent.

As he expected, His Majesty the Emperor only thought for a moment, then regardless of the opposition of the ministers, nodded and approved the opinion of Wang Lang, the secretary of the book, and the Yunlu general Ji Tongxian, who had not been used for a long time, led 500,000 Yunlu troops to detour south to Yunmeng Shuize through the border of Dawu, while Dongfang Li, one of the four princes, led 300,000 troops directly south from the middle of the dynasty.
