Gusu, Wu Palace.

Lord Wu was killed in battle, and the city was white. In the huge hall, the coffin displays Hou Shen's body.

In the battle of Siege Rocky Beach, Mo Du took advantage of Hou Shen's defeat and retreat to besiege and kill the remnants of the Wu army. Lord Wu was invincible, and was finally defeated, and Hou Shen's head was cut off by Mo Du.

Hou Shen's six children stood in this empty hall, and outside the hall, there were the ministers of the Wu State.

Hou Shen's eldest son, Hou Tao, stood at the front, stroking Hou Shen's coffin, and his face wanted to cry without tears.

"What the hell is this?"

The battle was ridiculous, so ridiculous that they couldn't even find a target for revenge. Mo Du besieged and killed the Wu army, but was then attacked and killed by the Fei Lian army of Zhao Palace. Mo Du was escorted to Shendu, and Huan Wu beheaded him in front of the Manchu ministers, the people of Shendu, and the soldiers of the Liang army.

The blood of Modu reflected the square in front of the Guangyang Gate of the Shendu Imperial Palace, and it also made the impetuous Shendu become quiet here.

The naval armies of Wu, Chu, and Shu had just defeated Mo Du's brother-in-law, Haiwang Shu, and the naval armies of Wu had struggled with Mo Du several times in the East China Sea.

It is not surprising that Mo Du regards Wu as a great disaster and Hou Shen as a great enemy. But the strange thing is that why did Mo Du know the path of the defeat of the Wu army in advance, and set up an ambush on the rocky beach early?

If it weren't for that, Hou Shen wouldn't have ended up like this.

What is the truth? With Mo Du's death, the cronies around him were killed by Zhao Gong, and it is no longer known.

But all this is inseparable from Liang Jun and Huan Wu.

What is ridiculous is that not long ago, Huan Wu sent an envoy to return Hou Shen's body, and in the name of the imperial court, he commended the soldiers of the Wu army who fought to the death against the alien races in the East China Sea.

This is a ridicule and a warning. Huan Wu used practical actions to tell them to settle down. Even if everyone in the world knows that Huan Wu is the culprit behind the killing of Hou Shen, on the surface, he is still a benefactor who clears the troubles of foreign races, regardless of previous suspicions, and hates the army for Lord Wu.

Ha! What a benefactor!

Hou Shen's six children had to accept the holy decree of the Son of Heaven from the divine capital in front of the ministers of Wu Guoqun, and kowtow to thank him.

What a humiliation? But there is nothing to be done!

Hou Shen's death caused a great loss to the elite of Wu, which caused all the forces in Wu to be ready to move, and they could no longer bear the consequences of being enemies of the Liang army, so they could only express their deference in front of Huan Wu's envoy in a gesture of almost humiliation.

"Big brother, now that the state affairs are difficult, the ministers are changing. You should inherit the position of the lord of the country as soon as possible and stabilize Wu Guosheji. ”

Hou Quan stood up and gave up.

It is different from Chuhou Cai Tong's fake news that once the fake news of his serious illness spreads, Cai Tong's two sons will be tense. In the territory of Wu State, Hou Shen's six children are unusually united.

"I know. But now the army loyal to our Hou clan has suffered great losses, and most of the troops are deployed along the river to deal with the Liang army. It is already reluctant to deal with the forces of domestic change, if at this time, Shu Chu takes advantage of the fire to rob, what should we do? ”

Among the three kingdoms south of the Great River, Wu was the weakest. The troops that could fight on land followed Hou Shen, and most of the losses were in Xuzhou.

"Cai Tong's 50,000 elites were killed by Huan Wukeng, he is busy putting out the fire at the moment, and he shouldn't have the ability to do anything to my Wu State anymore. As for Yang Xian......"

Speaking of this, Hou Quan also had apprehensions in his heart. Unlike the Wu and Chu armies, which were mostly skewed to the navy, the infantry army of Shu was the only army in the world today that could fight the Liang army head-on in a land battle or even defeat the Liang army.

Shu is also in the upper reaches of Wu and Chu, and has the tendency to flow eastward along the river. Although Yang Xian's Changce and Hei Yu armies also suffered heavy losses in the First Battle of Southern Zhou, there were still 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou at this time.

If Yang Xian really ignores it and goes eastward, it's really hard to say whether Cai Tong can stop it. If the state of Chu is finished, the demise of the state of Wu is only a matter of time.

Hou Shen and his children were silent, but when they saw Cheng Xin, the general of the navy, waiting outside the palace, they immediately let him enter the palace.

"How's it going?"

Hou Tao turned around, took a few steps forward eagerly, held the hand of Cheng Xin who was coming to him, and asked.

"After receiving the news, Cai Tong paid tribute to Shu with ten large warships as a gift from the crown prince of the Shu Dynasty."

Hou Tao breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and the whole person was much more relaxed. In front of Cheng Xin, he couldn't show too much worry.

"In this way, Yang Xian has no intention of attacking the Chu State!"

Hou Tao did not doubt Cai Tong's ability. Ten large warships are equivalent to half of the navy in Jiaozhou, Chu State. If Cai Tong sensed Yang Xian's intention to attack Chu, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be so an enemy.

Hou Quan was thoughtful, then took a step forward, walked in front of Hou Tao, and arched his hand.

"Big brother, Cai Tong sent ten ships, then I will send fifteen ships as a gift to celebrate the succession of the king of Shu to the crown prince."

Hou Tao's face changed, his eyes widened, and he didn't seem to think why Hou Quan suddenly said such a ridiculous remark?

"Brother Quan, counting the ones under construction, there are only eighteen large warships in our country to deal with the Sea Clan. gave Yang Xian fifteen ships, then wouldn't the hard work of our army for several years be in vain? ”

Hou Tao was a little reluctant, in his opinion, since Yang Xian had no intention of dealing with the Chu State, then the Wu State naturally had no problem.

"Big brother, if we don't give it, won't Yang Xian come to rob it?"

"He dares!"

Hou Quan's youngest sister, Hou Yueji, listened to Hou Quan's words, her young face bulged, and she was very unconvinced.

Hou Quan shook his head and said softly: "Huan Wu is not a side trouble, Cai Tong is even more ringworm, but Yang Xian has the ability to kill us." Cai Tong still has the strength to confront Yang Xian, but we are indeed very weak. ”

"Brother Quan, what do you mean by that?"

"What Yang Xian needs is the Wu State, not our Hou family. After the death of my father in battle, there were frequent changes among the ministers within our country. Some wanted to join Huanwu, some wanted to marry Cai Tong, and some took a fancy to Yang Xian. If Huan Wu wants to cross the river, he has no heart. Cai Tong just lost the army and was riddled with everything. Only Yang Xian has the ability to send a force of 10,000 people to the shores of our country at this dangerous time. Big brother, don't forget, how did your father take the Yan family's inheritance in the first place? ”

Hou Tao's face was solemn, Hou Shen was with a force of 10,000 people, and Chen Bing was outside Gusu City. And now the important ministers loyal to the state of Wu did not even resist, so they abandoned the king of the Yan clan and opened the city gate to welcome the new king.

This is also the reason why Hou Shen ruled the country with the military and never trusted these officials from local families. Hou Shen needs the officials of these big families to govern the place, but at the same time, he also guards against them.

Looking at the dark-faced brothers and sisters, Hou Quan added another sentence.

"If those families within our country cooperate with Yang Xian at this time, we can't prevent it."

"But what if we send fifteen warships, and Yang Xian still refuses to give up?"

"We recognized the status of the crown prince of Xia Gongne, expressed our deference, and sent a generous gift, Yang Xian chose a puppet in this Wu land, and it may not be able to do better than us, on the contrary, it will cause considerable turmoil. After all, he still needs Wu to defend against the Liang army. Let Huan Wu win Yangzhou, but Yang Xian is not willing to see it. ”

"That's... So be it! ”

Hou Tao closed his eyes, his lips were dry, he felt humiliated in his heart, and said weakly.
