"Yang Xian! Yang Xian! ”

In Gusu Wu Palace, Hou Tao walked back and forth in the palace, and there were bursts of angry sounds.

Hou Tao's anger was overflowing, and the courtiers of the Wu State and his brothers in the palace could feel it.

For Hou Tao, there were two times when he was the most angry and humiliating in his life.

The first time was when the Wu army took advantage of the defeat of the Liang army in southern Zhou and went north to Xuzhou. That time, the Wu army designed for Huan Wu, the whole army was annihilated, and the Wu lord also died in Xuzhou.

That time, Huan Wu sent an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, and Hou Tao not only couldn't make a sword, but also took everyone to kneel in front of the edict, kowtow and thank you, and bear Huan Wu's warning and great humiliation.

And then there is this time. If Huan Wu was secretly damaged, Yang Xian was openly scolded.

Gusu Hou, despicable villain. stealing the foundation of the lord and taking possession of the land privately. Don't respect the precepts, dare to disobey the emperor's orders! On the day of the arrival, I will see you in Beijing. If you don't obey again, the king will cut it down.

But the problem is that scolding openly is more important than secretly damaging Hou Tao's nest. So much so that Zhou Envoy has been gone for three days, and Hou Tao's anger has not subsided.

Yang Xian's wording in the edict was already clearly not taking Hou Tao in his eyes. Not only that, but he also damaged the Hou family again, and even trained his son to train him again. The arrogance of the attitude and the brutality of the words are outrageous.

Hou Shen seized the foundation of the Yan family, which is a stain that cannot be erased. But the question is, so grandly written in the edict of the Son of Heaven, is Yang Xian afraid that people will not know that this edict was written by him?

Whenever Hou Tao saw the ministers and talked about the country, he had to scold Yang Xian first.

"Yang Xian is arrogant and arrogant, even more than Huan Wu back then. The king's sword? Hum! I want to see, across the Chu State, how did he come to attack me? ”

Hou Tao is brave and deep-minded, but now that he has openly said these words in front of the ministers and brothers, it can be seen that the anger in his heart is deep.

"Big brother, the Zhou army is so sharp, there is no other in the world. is as strong as Emperor Liang, and he can only move the capital to avoid temporarily. After the younger brother heard that the Zhou army had won Nanyang, he launched three ways to press the state of Chu and forced the marquis of Chu Cai Tong to become a minister. Our envoy should have arrived in the state of Chu, Cai Tong is scheming, and he will not be willing to call Yang Xian a minister, and should agree to cooperate with us. ”

Hou Tao's second brother, Hou Zhi, walked out of the queue and gave up.

The alliance between Wu and Chu was built under the strong pressure of the Liang army, and since the defeat of the Liang army in southern Zhou and the fact that the annexation of the world no longer exists, the gap between Wu and Chu has become deeper and deeper.

At the most dangerous time, the two armies of Wu and Chu almost misfired. Although the fire of war was not ignited in the end, the tacit understanding established between Wu and Chu in the past has disappeared.

But this time it was different, Yang Xian's arrogance made it possible for the two armies of Wu and Chu to come together. Even, pull the Liang army together to form an encirclement network to deal with the Zhou army.

"Big brother, is this matter a little more cautious?"

Hou Quan walked out and gave up.

"It's not that we're not cautious, it's that he Yang Xian is too deceitful!"

Hou Tao knew what Hou Quan meant, Huan Qi was a tiger, Cai Tong was a wolf, and the size of the two countries was destined for Wu to be careful when dealing with them. Now that the Liang army is weak, and the Chu army is even more of a great enemy, what good can it do to cooperate with them?

"Didn't you read what Yang Xian wrote in the edict? You want me to enter Beijing and be a minister. Ha! is a good prime minister of the Great Zhou, does he Yang Zizhan really think that he is invincible in the world, and no one is his opponent anymore? I want to see what Yang Xian can do to me! ”

Just as Hou Tao's words fell, the sound of a horn sounded outside Wu Gongyu, which was a situation that would only occur when there was an emergency military situation.

In the temple, the crowd was terrifying.

The armor-torn soldier entered the palace and, in a hurry, gave up.

"Lord, Doctor Hulu Jian Song is reversed!"

"What did you say?"

"Jian Song has now gathered 30,000 troops to take my five cities. Lord, the rebel is huge, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

The soldier's words silenced the entire temple. Jian Songnai is an important minister of the Wu State, and he has always been obedient, why did he suddenly make trouble, and he did not reveal any rumors in advance.

What's more, the elite soldiers of the Wu State are all gathered in Gusu, and Jian Song's 30,000 soldiers and horses are not the opponents of the Wu army at all, what confidence does he have to resist Hou Tao's encirclement and suppression?

"Why did Jian Song rebel?"

On the throne, Hou Tao asked.

"This..."

The soldier was obviously very hesitant, but he was forced to ask by Hou Tao with a loud shout.

"Say!"

"Jian Song's traitor claimed to be on the orders of the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty to welcome the king in order to please the minister. He also said..."

"Master Wang?"

Hou Quan muttered, and when he hadn't figured out where this Wang Shi came from, he was interrupted by Hou Tao's angry voice.

"Say what?"

Hou Tao's eyes were full of anger, and he looked at the soldier in front of him like a wolf looking at its prey.

"Jian Song's traitor said that the Yan clan was the orthodox state of Wu and a vassal of the Great Zhou Emperor. As for the Hou family, he is just a traitor. ”

"Yang Xian!"

Hou Tao was furious and slapped the table in front of him, and the sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire temple.

"Big brother, this is not the time to get angry. An army should be sent immediately to encircle and suppress Jian Song. If it is allowed to become bigger, the state of Wu is in danger. ”

Hou Quan's voice was still echoing in his ears, but there was a messenger soldier outside the temple.

"My lord, Haiwangya led the Sea Clan to raid the coast of our country, and 10,000 Zhou troops have now landed in Quangang."

The news came suddenly, but Hou Quan and the ministers in the palace finally understood what Jian Song was talking about.

At this moment, all the people in the temple calmed down.

Such a rebellion, which moved so quickly, could not have been a sudden uprising, but must have been planned for a long time.

In other words, Yang Xian had already made up his mind to attack Wu before the two edicts. But what is his purpose, to destroy the Hou family?

Hou Tao suddenly felt that he had been tricked, and Yang Xian had no intention of negotiating with him at all.

At this moment, another person hurriedly came, but it was not a letter soldier, but Cheng Xin, the general of Wu's navy.

"My lord, there is an emergency military situation on the front line."

"What is it?"

After the edification of the first two news, Hou Tao has calmed down now. It was an expression of anger that was detached from it, as if nothing could be done for him to care.

"The report came from the front, Zhou general Guo Wei led the army to pull out Qingyang, and the king of Yi, Samo Ke, broke the Chu army in Dongcheng. On the same day, Han Buying, the general of the Zhou army, led his army east and returned to his hometown and attacked Pingling at night. The Chu general Wei He fought with him and was defeated. Now that Pingling had fallen back into the hands of the Zhou army, Cai Tong led the army back to Yingcheng to defend against the Zhou army. Ning Jingyuan, the general of the navy of the Chu State, fought with the Zhou general Li Fu in the southwest water system of Yingdu for several days, but could not win. The envoy sent by our side to the state of Chu said that now the state of Chu is in chaos, and many people in the lower four counties have raised anti-flags, turned their backs on the Cai family, and swore allegiance to the Great Zhou. ”

Yang Xian!

Wu Lord Hou Tao bit these two words fiercely, clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and he spit out a sentence with difficulty.

"Chase back the envoy who set out for the Liang Kingdom. Also, burn that seal of the courtier! ”
