Dazheng takes the eastern capital as the national capital and the Jiangdu as the accompanying capital. Houjian also followed the example of the Central Plains, with Daliang City as the capital and Tianhai City as the accompanying capital, and divided Houjian into seven states and two capitals. Over the years, the kings have been entrenched in various places, eyeing Daliang City, if any prince is strong, he can enter Daliang City to control the government, but those who enter Daliang City will also be resisted by the other four kings, most of them can not last long, so the construction of the court hall will form a grotesque scene of you singing and I appearing. It wasn't until Murong Yan rose strongly that the five kings had to move towards unity, and there was a future discussion of the five kings.

This time, the five Wanyan princes raised troops in the palace, and in the final analysis, they had to do it as a last resort. The little emperor was anxious to seize power, and wanted to put the five kings to death, how could the five kings sit still and wait to be killed, since they had torn their faces, they simply did not do anything, and directly preemptively put the little emperor to death. However, this also made the five kings bear the charge of killing the king, and Murong Yan firmly grasped this point, making the five kings very passive in the name of righteousness.

Today, Murong Yan and Xiao Yu have formed an alliance, and the two have already invaded Houjian territory in just a few days. The loss of the land close to the two states made most of the Houjian nobles begin to be disappointed with the five kings, and they left Daliang City one after another, which made the situation of the five kings take a sharp turn, and now there are two roads in front of them, one is to abandon Daliang City and retreat to Tianhai City, and the other is to defend Daliang, the former is equivalent to admitting defeat but can preserve strength, and the latter is very likely to become a dead end.

Originally, in the imperial study of the little emperor of Houjian, the five princes of the Wanyan clan gathered together, they were not like the princes of the Central Plains who were dressed in python robes or black official clothes, but wore civilian clothes, with jade belts around their waists, and there were two martial princes who simply wore luxurious waist knives full of gems on their waists.

Wan Yande, who was already about to know the age of the Mandate of Heaven, did not wear a sword, but just sat in his seat silently, thoughtful. This time, the five of them sat around to discuss the matter, and there was no difference between high and low seats, but it was still faintly headed by Wanyan De, at this time he didn't speak, and the other Wanyan princes were not easy to speak rashly, and there was a depressing silence in the room.

Wan Yan Jing's territory is the closest to Tianhai City, so he is also the most calm, he quietly looked around with the corner of his eye, and fixed his attention on a slightly younger Wan Yan Wang, Wan Yan Kang.

Wan Yan Kang's sphere of influence is in the Gaozhou area, this time he was caught off guard by Lin Han's grassland army and suffered heavy losses, and now Wan Yan Kang has already shown signs of withdrawing from Daliang City and returning to the division to protect himself.

The other two kings were Wanyan Chilie and Wanyan Honglie, and unfortunately, their territory happened to be on the road of Wei Ban and Murong Yan's march. Especially Wanyan Honglie, if he was allowed to face Murong Yan alone, it would really be a lifeless situation, it would be better to directly descend Murong Yan, at least he could save his life.

Wan Yande, who had not spoken, put away his thoughts and said slowly: "There are only five of us today, there are no wall grass swaying in the wind, and some words can be put on the table, so this king hopes that several princes can be open and honest, and don't hide it anymore." ”

The four Wanyan princes all bowed slightly.

Wan Yande continued: "Today's Houjian is no longer the Houjian that stepped on the world back then, since Emperor Shun withdrew from the Central Plains, my post-founding power is declining, and today compared with the Central Plains, the country is small and poor. The world only says Xiao Yu, the king of the northwest, the king of the northeast, Lu Qian, the king of the Jiangnan, and Xiao Lie, the king of the Central Plains, but when they come to the Houjian side, they become the five kings of the Houjian, who knows who Wanyan De, Wanyan Jing, Wanyan Kang, Wanyan Chilie, and Wanyan Honglie are? If the five of us don't join forces, who will take us seriously?"

The other four Houjian princes had different faces, and they were all silent.

Wan Yande pointed to the map hanging on the wall behind him, "Murong Yan's army has already attacked the area of Sanjiangyuan, Wei Ban is even closer to the line of the Daliu River, and the cavalry of the Northwest Army is roaming wantonly in the territory of our Houjian, according to this momentum, I am afraid that it will not be long before the combined army of Xiao Yu and Murong Yan will be able to attack the city of Daliang." ”

Wan Yande looked around and said coldly: "Speaking of which, this king might as well make it clear that if the five of us divide our troops everywhere, it will only be the end of being broken by Murong Yan and Xiao Yu one by one, and only a combined army can compete with Murong Yan and Xiao Yu." ”

Wanyan Honglie suddenly got up, and was the first to respond, "What Brother Dewang said is extremely true, and I Wanyan Honglie agrees!"

If he didn't join forces, Wanyan Honglie would have to face Murong Yan alone, and in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops trained by Murong Yan himself, he asked himself that there was only one way left to die in battle except surrender. But how can you be the master of your own house under the fence? Although this satchel prince looks a little rough, his mind is not rough at all.

Wanyan Chilie and Wanyan Honglie were brothers of the same clan, and immediately expressed their support: "That's right, I also agree with Brother Dewang." ”

Then Wan Yankang said in a deep voice: "I agree with what Brother Dewang said. ”

In the end, only Wan Yanjing remained, although he was reluctant in every way, but under the gaze of the other four princes, he had to stubbornly echo and said: "Me too." ”

Seeing that the four of them had already relented, Wan Yande nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Xiao Yu and Murong Yan have about 400,000 troops, Xiao Yu has sent 150,000 troops, and Murong Yan has sent 250,000 troops. The current situation is that they want to defeat the weak with the strong, and we want to win with more and less, if we hastily divide the troops, our numerical advantage will be lost, so what I mean is to concentrate all the troops in the area of Gyeonggi in Daliang City, wait for Murong Yan and Xiao Yu to come to the door. ”

Wanyan Honglie's face changed, and he said urgently: "Wouldn't that be to give the territory to Murong Yan!"

Wan Yande glanced at him and said indifferently: "If you lose the territory, you can get it back, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing." ”

Wanyan Honglie was stunned and did not continue.

Wan Yanjing gloated and said: "Brother De is right, everything is false, it can't compare to his own net worth and life, and you have to distinguish which is more important than the other." ”

Wanyan Chilie snorted coldly, "Brother Jingwang's fiefdom is far away in Dabai Mountain, but now he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks." ”

Wan Yanjing smiled and said: "It's no wonder that others, after all, no one would have expected to be hit by someone today, right?"

Wan Yande's face sank like water, and he suddenly interrupted the words of several people: "Okay, it's useless to talk about this now, if you don't want to be cut off by Xiao Yu and Murong Yan, hurry up and move your own family out, so as not to regret it when you add swords and axes in the future, I Wan Yande has already said everything that should be said, this time is different, if anyone still has the idea of preserving their strength, they can, they can leave Daliang City now, but as long as they choose to stay, they must do their best." ”

Wan Yankang did not move at all, lowered his eyebrows. Wanyan Honglie glanced at Wanyan Chilie, and stopped talking again, Wanyan Chilie shook his head slightly. Although Wanyan Honglie was ready to move, he still stayed patiently.

After a short silence, Wan Yanjing asked: "Why do we want to defend Daliang City? Brother Dewang has already said just now, if the territory is lost, you can take it back, so if Daliang City is lost, you can naturally take it back, so why cling to this city?"

Wan Yande's expression remained unchanged, he didn't look at him, got up and came to the map, pointed to the location of Daliang City, and said calmly: "This king is not good at using soldiers, and it is even more different from Murong Yan, but this king only knows one thing, Daliang City is the key, if Murong Yan captures Daliang City, then we will completely lose the hearts of the people, and there will be no day to turn over, and the best result is just to defend a corner of the sky and the sea." ”

Wan Yande suddenly increased his tone, "It's true that we can snatch back the lost territory, but the premise is that Daliang City is still in our hands, so Daliang City is the top priority!

Wan Yan Kang nodded slightly, and the brothers Wan Yan Honglie and Wan Yan Chilie were silent.

Wan Yanjing, who was almost the age of a sixtieth birthday, was silent for a long time and did not refute.
