The third child continued: "Big brother, the Hua Han Dynasty naturally wants to be like you said, not to choose a soldier who is subservient. Let's leave aside what the Hua Han Dynasty thinks. Let's see if we can fight! The answer is definitely not a fight. Even the Tartars were driven north of the Tianjiang River and suffered heavy losses.

Our weak Li Yue is even more vulnerable. So what we have to do is to fight for the greater good of our Cui clan without a fight. This does not involve anything to be ashamed of, even when it was the Dahua Dynasty, our Liyue was also a vassal state of the Dahua Dynasty. Tribute is paid every year. Even if people don't want it, we still have to show it.

This is the so-called principle that a weak country has no diplomacy. Now, the Hua Han Dynasty said to negotiate with us, which is enough to give us the face of the Dayue Cui clan. Are you still not satisfied, big brother? ”

Brother Cui Zhengchun was still not convinced, and said: "Could it be that the throne of our Cui family line ends here?" ”

The third child said: "What else can be done if this is not the case? ”

Cui Zhengchun's eldest brother looked at Cui Zhengchun again and said, "Second brother, you are the emperor now, you say." ”

Cui Zhengchun said: "In my heart, I don't want to lose the throne that we have lasted for hundreds of years. However, we do not have the capital to confront the Hua Han Dynasty. If we choose to fight, our Dayue Cui clan will lose more than just the throne. ”

The eldest brother said, "What? Could it be that the Hua Han Dynasty still wants to kill us all? ”

Cui Zhengchun said: "It's not enough to kill them all, but will we still have a good life in that case?" ”

The eldest brother asked, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

Cui Zhengchun shook his head, sighed, and then said quietly: "I don't know what to do." That's why I called you to counsel together? ”

The eldest brother said unabashedly: "Losing the throne of our Cui clan, I am the first to object." ”

Cui Zhengchun nodded, and asked the third brother again: "Third brother, what do you see?" ”

The third brother said: "Brother Huang, I think we don't have the strength to confront the Hua Han Dynasty now, and if the Hua Han Dynasty wants to take the land of Nali Yue as their territory, they will definitely find a way to sit down." Yesterday, news came from the West that the four tribal chiefs of the West had been beheaded for rebelling against the rule of the Han Dynasty. I don't think you brothers want to end up with those four patriarchs! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and continued, "My opinion is negotiation, which is good for both parties. The greatest loss for us is the loss of the throne of the emperor that has been passed down through the generations. The good thing is that we can keep our family going on. We can negotiate a good outcome. An outcome in our favor. ”

After listening to the words of the third child, the eldest brother wanted to speak, but was stopped by Cui Zhengchun. I saw a slight secret hand to the eldest brother, and then looked at the other two younger brothers, the fourth and fifth.

said: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, what do you two think?" ”

The fourth and fifth looked at each other, and then the fourth said, "Brother Huang, the younger brother agrees with the third brother's suggestion." ”

Cui Zhengchun looked at the fifth child.

The fifth child's eyes rolled and he said, "Brother Huang, the younger brother and the eldest brother have an idea." We can't lose the throne of our Dayue Cui clan. This is our Cui clan's territory. You can't just give it to others. ”

This old man in his fifties and thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rigid bearing, after speaking, he glanced at his eldest brother, and the eldest brother nodded to him.

After hearing this, Cui Zhengchun also nodded, looked at his son and nephew again, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Several people glanced at each other and said, "But please ask my father and uncle to decide." ”

Cui Zhengchun nodded, thinking to himself: "It's useless to ask them, we old guys have to make up their minds." But now that two people agree with each of the two views, then my decision will be crucial. But I still can't make up my mind! What to do? ”

Thinking about it, he glanced at his eldest brother and his three younger brothers, and then thought to himself, "Let's listen to their reasons and specific strategies, and then make a decision." Then the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty wanted to reply immediately. ”

Thinking of this, he asked, "Since each of you has one point of view, then speak of it." Of course, the reason goes without saying. Let's just talk about the possible results. You know, whether it is negotiation or resistance, the result is different. ”

At this time, the third child said: "Brother Huang, what's different about this?" ”

Cui Zhengchun asked, "What about the third brother's opinion?" ”

The third child took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Chen thinks that no matter what we do, the result will be the same. That is to lose the throne that has been hereditary for nearly three hundred years. As he spoke, he glanced at the boss and continued: "That is to say, the throne of our Dayue Cui clan cannot be kept. ”

After listening to the words of the third brother, Cui Zhengchun nodded, and said quietly: "Yes, what the third brother said is extremely true, I am afraid it is impossible to keep this throne in front of the Huahan Dynasty." ”

At this time, Lao Wu couldn't listen to it anymore, got up and said: "Brother Huang, although we are not big, we can't let the Hua Han Dynasty bully at will." We don't have to disarm and surrender like this, but we have to recruit troops and prepare to resist. Only in this way will we have a chance to keep the throne of our Dayue Cui clan. ”

Listening to the words of the fifth child, the third child laughed.

The fifth elder stretched out his hand and pointed at the third elder and said, "Third brother, why are you laughing?" ”

The third said: "The fifth, the third asks you a question." ”

The fifth brother pointed again and said, "Third brother, please ask." ”

The third brother was not in a hurry, first took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and then said lightly: "Fifth brother, the third brother asked you, how many people do you say we have in Liyue, I mean all of them." ”

Lao Wu thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know the specific number, there are at least three or four million people!" ”

The third brother said directly: "Fifth brother, it seems that you usually don't care too much about our Liyue Kingdom." Let me tell you, the total number of people in our country is 2.8 million. ”

Lao Wu pouted and said, "I guess it's not far from ten!" ”

The third child asked again: "Fifth brother, do you know how many people there are in the army of the Huahan Dynasty?" ”

Lao Wu pondered again, and said after a while: "At most, there are only five or six hundred thousand people. ”

The third shook his head and said, "You guessed too little. ”

Lao Wu looked a little surprised, rolled his eyes and asked, "Could it be that there are a million people?" ”

The third nodded and said, "Almost!" ”

Lao Wu was even more surprised, and said, "They will have more troops here?" ”

The third child said: "Just think about the base of the people of the Huahan Dynasty." There are nearly 2 million people in Tian'an Mansion. This volume is not comparable to our small reason. ”
