Zhou Hong, the person on the dragon chair, is forty-one years old this year, has been on the throne for five years, and is originally of the same clan as Brother Hui.

Every new emperor ascends the throne will change the dynasty and change the era name.

Zhou Yude, the earliest founding emperor of the Western Xiang Kingdom, is counted as a former dynasty.

A fief of the deposed prince has not arrived in the Xixiang Kingdom for a hundred years. Originally, the land area was not large, and the foundation was not stable.

At the beginning, he established himself as king because of the help of the neighboring country of Karabe, and it was also instigated by the monarch of the country of Karabe.

It is precisely because of the black feather country that the left and right neighbors have been safe and sound for the west over the years, but because the relationship between the west and the black feather country is very close, they are also on guard against the west item.

At this moment, when the ministers heard their emperor so sad, they naturally understood what they meant.

Let's not talk about the fact that Xixiang was originally separated from Yanguo, and the entry of soldiers against Yanguo over the years will come once every few years intermittently.

The most recent time, he was beaten by Xue Wenyu of the Yanguo Kingdom.

"Wuyu Kingdom is really too insidious and ruthless, every time they offend Yan Guo, they instigate it. They also sent troops to help during the attack, but once Yanguo counterattacked, they immediately withdrew their troops and then became bystanders. A minister sighed and said with great grief.

The other was also picked up immediately; "Where does his Wuyu country treat us as allies, where is friendship, it is clear that he has always used us as a sword. Now, the knife didn't serve their intended purpose, it didn't satisfy them.

Moreover, the knife was already covered in blood, and they simply wanted to take it for themselves. The ancestors have long said that there is no good thing in the world for no reason, hey! ”

After hearing this, the ministers looked even more sad, so even if Your Majesty wants to abandon the country to save his life, there is no way out, nowhere to go.

In front of it is the offended and transparent Yan State, and the neighbors on both sides are eager for the destruction of the country in the west, and they are even more afraid of the Wuyu Kingdom, how dare they take in Your Majesty.

"It is said that there is no endless road that day, what is the way of life for our Xixiang? Where? Is God really going to kill me? After an old minister roared angrily, he fainted.

The eunuch on the side hurriedly came over and carried the person out, and only when he got outside did he urgently call the imperial doctor.

The other officials in the hall are not indifferent to the fainting colleagues, what is the hurry, if you die early and die late in this hall, one in the hall is counted as one, and when the black feather country takes this place, everyone is not the same and can't live.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has doubts, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" A minister in his forties hesitated.

Zhou Hong's bloodshot eyes looked at the minister; "If you want me to kneel and surrender, you don't need to talk about it, even if Xixiang wants to destroy the country, I don't want to kill my own courtiers." In my impression, the person who opened his mouth was a little timid, and every time he said that he wanted to fight Yanguo, he was against it.

The relationship with Yanguo is not at all a matter of peace and quiet if he does not offend.

If he doesn't give the order to fight, will he be fine?

When the first emperor was on the throne, the first emperor of the first emperor was on the throne, and they all ordered to fight.

Even if there was no provocation from Wu Yu, the thoughts of several kings in Xixiang were probably similar.

The existence of Xixiang Kingdom is a thorn in the heart for Yanguo. As long as it exists, the other party will do something to Xixiang sooner or later, but I don't know which dynasty and which generation.

"Your Majesty, no matter how useless Weichen is, he will definitely not persuade His Majesty to kneel. What Weichen wants to say is that according to the strength of the Black Feather Country, it is not difficult to destroy us, but why doesn't he give us a good time all at once? Instead, it's so grinding and chirping?

Could it be that he deliberately took pleasure in abusing our subjects like this? Could there be any other reason for this? After the minister finished speaking, the others and Zhou Hong himself also agreed with this doubt.

In fact, most of them muttered in their hearts a few days ago, and they were very puzzled by what the Black Feather Country was doing.

"Do they want to use our Xixiang as bait to provoke a war between neighboring countries?"

"It's possible, the Black Feather Kingdom has long coveted its neighbors, but the difference in strength between them is not very great, and they are not completely sure, so they don't dare to make a rash move. Therefore, although our Xixiang is small, it is also a piece of fat meat in the end, if other countries also move carefully to mix in and want to get a piece of the pie, the Wuyu Kingdom will be able to take the opportunity to act? ”

"It's a possibility."

"Could it be that the Wuyu Kingdom is afraid of the Yanguo, after all, the West Xiang was the Yanguo a hundred years ago. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Yanguo to send troops to help us, but their newly enthroned little emperor, don't look at his young age, but he is ruthless, how can he tolerate others to swallow our piece of fat. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, there may be that."

"The little emperor of Yanguo? After all, the age is still too tender. ”

The ministers began to discuss it, forgetting for a moment the sorrow and death of the imminent death of the country, and the atmosphere was much better than before.

Zhou Hong leaned on the dragon chair, looked at his civil and military officials, and listened to their discussions, his heart was still like a harsh winter ice realm.

"Your Majesty, urgent report." At this time, there was a screaming voice from the prisoner outside.

"Bring it in." Zhou Hong has received urgent reports recently, all bad news, and he has become numb.

I have prepared for the worst, at most it will be a ruined country, is there any worse news than this?

The urgent report was submitted, but Zhou Hong didn't want to read it, so he asked the prisoner to read it to himself.

The urgent report is very simple, that is, the spies arranged on the border of Yanguo are gathering troops near the border between Yanguo and Xixiang.

Suddenly, the hall that had been discussed fiercely just now became very quiet.

Yes, what did you just say about Yanguo? The news is here!

Why did they gather troops? Isn't that obvious?

There are two possibilities, one, unwilling to be annexed by the Wuyu Kingdom, and second, it is also possible that there is no intention to stop after preventing the Wuyu Kingdom from taking the Western Item, and fight all the way to the Yan Kingdom.

However, no matter which possibility it is, it has something to do with the Black Feather Country.

For Xixiang, who divided and annexed it, isn't the result all the same?

Xixiang was originally part of Yanguo, but the reason for the separation, as well as what Xixiang did to Yanguo later, the two countries only have hatred, and there is no relationship between the same clan.

The civil and military officials in the main hall looked at their majesty in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Comfort and comfort, that's all meaningless.

At this time, I saw that the one on the dragon chair was straightened, and he raised his hand to straighten the crown; "Ladies and gentlemen, Xixiang is now facing this irreversible situation, and it is my incompetence. Regardless of the purpose of gathering troops on the border of Nayan, I have already made a decision not to flee, not to escape, not to kneel.

I want to put on my armor and fight with them, even if I die, I will have a little face to meet the emperor under the Nine Springs.

I am waiting in this imperial city, just to see which side of the Black Feather Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom is lucky enough to fight with me.

Spread the decree and let the people in the capital withdraw from the capital for the time being and go as far as possible.

As for you, I don't have any requirements, you can decide for yourself, retreat from the dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty, no."

"Your Majesty, count one of the micro-ministers."

"Yes, Your Majesty, and Weichen. Even if he dies, he will die in front of Weichen. ”

In the main hall, in a burst of tragic sounds, Zhou Hong smiled......
