Guan Yu drank a pot of tea before panting.

"Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory, and the Huns have been destroyed."

What?

Did the Huns destroy the country?

Listening to Guan Yu's words, Tang Tingbai's face also changed.

Because he didn't expect that the Huns would be destroyed like this.

According to Tang Tingbai's understanding of the Dayan army, it would take at least eight months or even a year to completely take the entire territory of the Xiongnu.

But I never expected that it would be won in such a short time.

Guan Yu explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

It turned out that the Dayan army was advancing steadily under the leadership of Huang Zhong.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Dayan army is very strong, the Huns are not dough kneaded.

In particular, the three cavalry of the Huns, tigers, leopards and wolves on the battlefield brought a lot of trouble to the Dayan army.

Because of the battle with the Great Yan army, almost all the soldiers and horses in the country were dispatched, and only a cavalry of 300,000 people was left in Kyoto.

These 300,000 people are known as the most capable troops of the Huns, numbered Dragoon.

Just at the front line, the Dayan army and the Xiongnu army were inseparable.

However, there was a coup d'état in Kyoto, where the Xiongnu took place.

Zhang Song, the prime minister of the Xiongnu, entered the city with a dragon horse, killed all the members of the Xiongnu royal family, and killed all the officials of the Xiongnu court.

That's not all, Zhang Song even arrested the family members of the generals who were fighting abroad to threaten them.

Demand that those Xiongnu generals immediately surrender unconditionally to Dayan.

In this way, the Great Yan army completely controlled the entire territory of the Xiongnu.

After listening to Guan Yu's words, the court officials looked at each other, their faces full of excitement and disbelief.

They really didn't expect that the dignified Xiongnu prime minister would rebel and take refuge in Dayan.

Su Zhen took a step forward, trembling in his voice, obviously excited.

"Your Majesty, after the destruction of the Huns, there are as many as eighty state capitals in my Dayan, and my Dayan is already the strongest country in the Eastern Regions.

"When the time comes, our state capitals will reach a terrifying hundred, and we will be the only country in the Eastern Regions."

The rest of the crowd also nodded their heads one after another.

Obviously, they also thought that Rome should be destroyed.

After all, in the thousands of years of history of the Eastern Regions, there has never been a strong and unified country.

Even in the powerful Middle Domain, for hundreds of years, the four empires still contained each other and checked and balanced each other.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin, for Rome, in fact, to be honest, Tang Tingbai didn't want to fight.

After all, Rome is relatively far away from Dayan, and it is not easy to govern.

Half a month later, Zhang Song, who made the greatest contribution in the war to eliminate the Xiongnu, came to Dayan Kyoto.

And with the arrival of Zhang Song, various rumors began in Dayan Kyoto.

It is rumored that the emperor plans to abolish Prime Minister Su Zhen and make Zhang Song the Prime Minister of Dayan.

After all, although Su Zhen is good in comparison, if you want to talk about the credit, it must be Zhang Song.

There is also a rumor that Dayan's territory is too big now.

The emperor planned to set up several districts and establish another official position above the prefect.

That's the real feudal official.

In recent days, such rumors have intensified in Kyoto officialdom.

Kyoto, Prime Minister's House.

Most of the officials in Nanshan are here, and their faces are not good-looking.

Prime Minister Su Zhen was dressed in civilian clothes, sitting on a chair, and drinking tea calmly.

"Oh my prime minister, you ...... How can you still be so calm, haven't you heard the rumors these days? Zhou Guangkun's face was full of helplessness and anxiety: "Prime Minister, I am the minister, do you think my words are also groundless?" You better plan ahead, in case you are really deposed by the emperor, it will be a fatal blow to us Nanshan. ”

The rest of the crowd nodded in unison.

They looked at Su Zhen's indifferent appearance, but they were actually very anxious in their hearts.

Because they all know that once Su Zhen is not the prime minister.

Then the situation in the court will change dramatically.

At that time, it is likely that West Lake will suppress Nanshan.

The crowd was gossiping.

And Su Zhen's face was still calm.

He drank his tea in a leisurely manner.

After everyone finished speaking, Su Zhen slowly spoke.

"Are you all done? Now that it's all over, I'll say a few words. ”

"Your so-called emperor's plan to change the prime minister is absolutely impossible, the prime minister's position in Dayan is very stable, so don't scare yourself."

"As for Zhang Song, he has a lot of credit for my Dayan, and even his own appearance feels that it is not too much to make him a prime minister for such a credit, Zhang Song has merit to Dayan, and that's how you treat the heroes? Look at your appearance, apart from infighting and excluding dissent, don't you think about other things in your mind? ”

This......

After listening to Su Zhen's words, everyone lowered their heads in unison, their faces were full of shame, and they stopped talking.

Yes, they were just thinking about their Nanshan's interests before, and they were thinking about their own interests.

As for Dayan's interests, they all tacitly didn't think about it.

Looking at everyone, Su Zhen snorted coldly: "Tomorrow morning, it is estimated that the emperor will make an announcement, and everything will wait for tomorrow!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison.

They knew that since Su Zhen had said so, it couldn't be changed.

The fate of Nanshan is waiting for tomorrow.

At the same time, a similar scene occurred in the Central General's Mansion.

Everyone in West Lake was very excited, and they all heard that the emperor planned to depose Su Zhen and support Zhang Song's idea of ascending to the throne.

Although they don't know who came out of this news, as long as Su Zhen can step down, Nanshan's strength will drop a lot, and then it will be time for them to fight back in West Lake.

You must know that in the past year, with the rise of Nanshan, their life in West Lake has not been easy.

In just half a year, 36 officials in West Lake were impeached by Nanshan, some of them lost their posts and resigned, and some of them lost their lives directly.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai sat on a mahogany chair with a smile on his face.

Listening to Li Yuanfang's report, Tang listened to Bai Hahaha.

In fact, this news was deliberately released by Tang Tingbai, and his purpose was very simple, that is, to pave the way for Zhang Song, and to build momentum for Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was originally a person from Jinyiwei, and he lurked in the Xiongnu twenty years ago, so it can be said that Zhang Song paid for Da Yan for a lifetime.

has also made a great contribution to Dayan, Tang Tingbai is a person who knows how to be grateful, he clearly knows that he must not let the people who do things for himself and Dayan chill their hearts.

Therefore, he planned to give Su Zhen a position that was enough to sit on an equal footing with the prime minister and the central general.

But if it is given directly, the hundred officials will definitely oppose it.

Now in this way, Tang Tingbai wants to let the hundred officials know that Prime Minister Su Zhen is still the prime minister, and the central general Zhuge Invincible is still the central general, and they have nothing to lose.

At this time, if Zhang Song is rewarded again, the civil and military officials will not object.

At this time, Li Yuanfang hesitated: "Your Majesty, Kevin, the tenth prince of Rome, is here, he has been waiting outside the palace for several hours, and he doesn't dare to let him in?" ”

Tang Tingbai frowned and did not speak.

In fact, the news of Kevin's arrival, Tang Tingbai already knew.

It's just that Tang Tingbai deliberately disappeared.

In fact, Tang Tingbai's heart was also very entangled.

That is whether Rome will be destroyed or not.

Now with the rapid rise of Dayan, it has put pressure on the surrounding countries, after all, no one wants a new enemy to appear.

But then again, if you keep Rome, it's always a ticking time bomb.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang and said in a calm tone: "Yuanfang, this kid Kevin must have come to Dayan to persuade me not to attack Rome, do you say I can't see him?" ”

This......

Li Yuanfang was stunned.

He didn't expect that the emperor would ask him this.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanfang raised his head: "Your Majesty, your subordinates think that you should meet, and when the time comes, we can put forward conditions, not allow Rome to have an army, and ask Rome to hand over food, money, land, population, etc., and even let Rome become a vassal state of our Dayan, after all, we Dayan also need a vassal country, in case of a war in the future, our Dayan's army and the army of the enemy country can fight there, so that no matter what the war looks like, it is not our domestic people who suffer, what do you think?" ”

Oh?

Listening to Li Yuanfang's words, Tang Tingbai's eyes lit up.

He hadn't thought about it before.

If you think about it carefully, Li Yuanfang's words are very reasonable.

Now Dayan has eighty state capitals, which is big enough.

Rome's twenty state capitals, for the current Dayan, even if they are all occupied, the overall strength will not increase too much.

Touching his chin, Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, you go and bring Kevin in, I'm very curious, what kind of price Rome will pay." ”

Li Yuanfang nodded, turned around and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yuanfang took Kevin into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Kevin bowed slightly to Tang Tingbai, with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Tang, let's meet again." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "Brother Kevin, you're welcome, please take a seat." ”

Kevin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Tang, I'm here this time...... In fact, I sent a letter on behalf of the Roman Empire, and this letter was written by my father. ”

As he spoke, Kevin took out a letter from his arms and placed it on Tang Tingbai's table.

Well?

Looking at Kevin's expression of helplessness and fear, Tang Tingbai frowned.

He could clearly feel that this letter was anything but simple.

Tang Tingbai opened the letter, just glanced at it, and Tang Tingbai's face changed.

"Hello nephew, I am Caesar, Emperor of the Roman Empire."

"I have now become a vassal state of the Northern Wei Empire, with a noble status, and now I order you to immediately cede the territory of Persia and the Xiongnu and hand it over to Rome unconditionally!"
