Chapter Thirty-Nine: Nanzhao and Huize
Huize and Nanzhao are two small countries on the Jiuhua continent.
There are a total of 21 countries on the Jiuhua continent, large and small.
Among them, the four countries of Xiahua, Western Zhou, Dongcheng, and Cangwu occupy two-thirds of the land of the entire Jiuhua Continent, and are the four strongest countries on the Jiuhua Road.
The remaining seventeen countries are either vassal states of the four countries or neutral states, and they cannot be compared with the four countries in terms of national strength or territory.
Huize and Nanzhao are neighbors, just sandwiched between Xia Hua and the Western Zhou, of which Nanzhao and Xia Hua are bordered by Xia Hua's vassal state, and Huize is close to the Western Zhou is the subject state of the Western Zhou.
However, due to the discord between Xia Hua and the Western Zhou, the relationship between Huize and Nanzhao has also been inadvertently harmonious, and the two countries are fighting at this time, Xia Hua naturally can't sit idly by.
The answer was the right prime minister, that is, Zhao Bo's father.
"Aizawa claimed to have lost a national treasure a month ago, and the thieves fled into Nanzhao, so the lord of Aizawa issued a letter of state to the lord of Nanzhao, asking Nanzhao to allow Aizawa to send troops to arrest the thief."
"The lord of Nanzhao did not allow, only promised to find lost property for Huize in his country, and the two countries failed to reach a compromise in negotiations several times, but the relationship between the two countries was deadlocked.
"Therefore, after catching this person, Huize came forward to ask for no success, Nanzhao beheaded this person in accordance with the law of the country, Huize sent 10,000 troops to attack Nanzhao on this ground, and there is news that the Western Zhou sent 3,000 elite soldiers and 200 strangers to Huize at the moment, and at this moment is on the way to Huize, so the lord of Nanzhao asked for help from our country."
Because of the existence of alien magic, the borders of various countries on the Jiuhua Continent have set up formations to protect the peace of their countries.
However, due to the stretch of the border, the power of the formation that can support such a large area is not too strong, and the materials consumed are still very huge.
As a result, those formations standing on the border can only prevent low-level inhumans and ordinary people, and for those inhumans with a little ability, this formation is useless and does not play much role.
It was the aliens who set up the formation, and it was the aliens who destroyed the formation, coupled with the recent events in the capital, the Son of Heaven now feels a headache when he hears the word alien.
He sat on the dragon chair and looked at everyone in the hall with a calm face, his eyes frowning imperceptibly as his eyes swept over the four princes.
His son, who has been extremely smart and well-behaved since he was a child, was his favorite son, but unfortunately when he grew up, he didn't know who he was bewitched, and his heart was not in the court, but he wanted to learn strange arts and become an alien.
Even in order to learn foreign arts, he did not hesitate to disobey himself.
What is there to learn about the magic of the anomaly, like his identity, he can still point to the magic to fight with people.
Such a plaything was demoralized, and he failed to live up to his expectations in vain.
Today, the Son of Heaven brought him, one is to let him get in touch with the affairs of the court, and also let him understand that there are people in the world besides the strange arts, and the other is related to the stranger, let him see what the stranger has done.
The Son of Heaven suppressed the irritability in his heart and spoke patiently.
"What should you do with this matter?"
Prime Minister Zuo bowed down and took the lead in speaking.
"According to the minister's opinion, since the Western Zhou Dynasty has sent troops, I Xia Hua naturally can't sit idly by, 3,000 elite soldiers is not a difficult thing, but I can order the commander of Qianzhou to send 3,000 elite soldiers to help, and 200 strangers can also come out if they are tight."
"However, I Xia Huabei must beware of Frost Moon, there is Dongcheng in the east, and the Western Zhou Dynasty will send troops at this time, in addition to supporting Nanzhao, we also need to be vigilant about whether Frost Moon and Dongcheng will take advantage of the fire to rob."
Xia Hua is located in the center of the Jiuhua Continent, surrounded by strong enemies, which is another reason why the Son of Heaven is not used to seeing strangers but has to tolerate them.
To resist foreign enemies, you also need the help of strangers, and strangers are not like soldiers, and the next conscription order can be selected from the people.
Prime Minister Zuo's voice fell, and King Jing immediately spoke.
"Sending troops is just one end, Erchen is worried that the Western Zhou Dynasty may have premeditated this time, and in recent years, the national strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, and it has long been uneasy in the vicious places on the side of the wild forest, and the dispute between Nanzhao and Huize was actively provoked by Huize Ze, but I am afraid that the Western Zhou Dynasty will instigate it later."
"Yes, Erchen is worried that the matter of Nanzhao, the Western Zhou Dynasty is afraid that there is a desire to expand, in addition to sending troops to support, the border between Nanzhao and my Xiahua also needs to increase troops to strengthen the defense, just in case."
King Jing's words fell, and the prince immediately turned to King Jing and opened his mouth.
"The second brother said easily, increase the number of troops in the south, how much, where will it be increased, from the north to the east? Where does the money come from? Do you know how many taels of silver there is in the treasury? A month ago, Qiong, Columbia, and Liang Prefecture reported that there was a big flood along the Su River, flooding countless farmland villages. ”
"The Suhe River valley is where my Xiahua granary is located, these three states have suffered disasters this year, and the grain is bound to be tight at the end of autumn, and the treasury and silver are still insufficient to prepare for the disaster of late autumn, how can there be more for large-scale troops."
After speaking, the prince turned his head to look at the Son of Heaven and saluted respectfully.
"Father, according to the opinion of the sons, now the strong enemy is around, the treasury is empty, it is really not suitable to mobilize the army, the matter of Nanzhao can send troops, but only need to mobilize the defenders on the border of Nanzhao, after sending troops, try not to provoke a war, first drag the Western Zhou and Huize."
"In addition, some masters from the army can be selected to quietly go to the border to thoroughly investigate the thieves and give an explanation to Huizawa."
"As long as this matter is settled, there will be no excuse for Huize and Western Zhou to raise troops, so that the disaster in the Western Frontier can be lifted."
King Jing listened to the prince's words, obviously unconvinced, and retorted loudly.
"My Xiahua has a wide area, either the south is flooded or the north is drought, there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters in any year, the Western Zhou Dynasty has already hit us, and we have to look forward and backward, so submissive, wouldn't it make the world laugh at my Xia Hua's nest."
"Besides, this matter will be provoked by Hui Ze, whether there are thieves or not, how to find out about this matter, I, Xia Hua, blindly tolerate it, how do I know that Xizhou will not gain an inch!"
King Jing's words immediately hit the prince's sore spot, and he opened his mouth to speak.
The emperor was upset, and lightly knocked on the table, and the crown prince and King Jing immediately quieted down, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the emperor.
The emperor was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he just caught a glimpse of Liu Ruo standing on the sidelines, watching his nose and nose, so he immediately changed his attention, looked at Liu Ruo and said.
"Ruo'er, what do you think?"
When Liu Ruo heard the question, he quickly took a step forward and hugged his fists.
"Erchen thinks that the two brothers are right."
……
He made a sound, it was better not to make a sound, the emperor was already irritable, and his face became even more ugly when he heard the words, and he raised his hand to scold Liu Ruo, but Liu Ruo straightened up and continued.
"Neither is right."
The atmosphere was panting......
The emperor had already poured into his mouth, and was forced back by this sentence.
In recent years, he has been in one place very often, and he has almost forgotten that although his son is smart, he has always spoken unexpectedly and unexpectedly, making people scratch their heads.
Especially in long sentences, his son can always break off the words in some places that catch people off guard, which makes people almost want to hold back a mouthful of blood, and it is really not happy.
