In order to take Zhongzhou, Western Chu poured out 200,000 troops. Although the defenders of Zhongzhou could not resist the enemy's offensive, the side of the Dawu Dynasty had the home advantage after all, and the Western Chu army wanted to attack Zhongzhou, although it was not a problem, but it was not easy.

And as Chu Mo said, Western Chu was able to mobilize 100,000 troops to support in a short period of time, and the only way to do this was to transfer troops from Tianyu Pass.

And with the support of 100,000 troops, the defense of Tianyu Pass must be the weakest.

If he led tens of thousands of troops to the city at this moment, I am afraid that he would be able to break through the Heavenly Domain Pass without much effort.

Even if it can't be occupied in the end, it can at least deal a heavy blow to Xichu.

The grievances between Western Chu and Nanqi are not shallow, if he can give Western Chu a heavy blow at this time, it can be regarded as avenging General Ge and others who died on the battlefield that year.

Such great feats will inevitably attract more people in the court to submit to him, all of them, so isn't the position of the crown prince his bag?

Just thinking of this, Shan Guangyao couldn't help but get excited in his heart.

But Shan Guangyao did not sink because of this, although the temptation in front of him now made him unable to extricate himself, but if he wanted to go out of Xichu, he alone could not make a decision, although he is now the prince and has his own army, but if he leads the army to Tianyu Pass for no reason, this will inevitably make Pang Xuelin's people seize his handle, and he will not be able to say it clearly.

"I have to say that the so-called opportunity in your mouth makes this king very excited, but if you want this king to send troops, this is far from enough."

"Now, the well water between our Southern Qi and Western Chu does not interfere with the river water, if this king leads his troops to attack the Tianyu Pass at this time, this will undoubtedly not push the entire Southern Qi into the abyss."

"Unless ......"

Shan Guangyao frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

"Unless King Ming has a reason why he has to send troops, right?"

Chu Mo said with a smile.

Shan Guangyao nodded.

"Is this a reason to avenge the death of General Ge? If I remember correctly, this General Ge was the uncle of King Ming, and the last person to take my father's life. ”

Chu Mo said lightly.

"If you know everything, why do you come to this king?"

Shan Guangyao said a little suspiciously.

"King Ming is too worried, it is inevitable that the two armies will be killed and injured in battle, although my father died in the hands of General Ge, but he also died on the battlefield, then my father is a hero!"

Shan Guangyao looked at Chu Mo with a straight face, as if after some careful consideration, he finally made up his mind, nodded towards Chu Mo, and said, "Okay!" This king can promise you to lead troops to attack Tianyu Pass, but this king will not send troops to support your Zhongzhou! ”

……

When Chu Mo left the Ming Palace, it was already Hai time.

Back at Xueyue Tower, Yu Zixuan couldn't wait to ask about the outcome of Chu Mo's matter.

After learning from Chu Mo that King Ming had promised to send troops to attack the Heavenly Pass, Yu Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a condition from the Nanqi Imperial Palace, under the protection of several palace guards, came to Xueyue Tower.

Naturally, they came to find Chu Mo on the orders of Emperor Qi and asked him to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to face the saint.

In the early morning of the next day, above the court hall of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered here, and Emperor Qi sat on the dragon chair. And Chu Mo and the others had already entered the palace early in the morning and were waiting outside the palace at the moment.

"Spread the great military envoy into the palace!"

Under a sharp voice, Chu Mo and the others walked into the hall under the leadership of a little eunuch.

"Foreign Minister Chu Mo, see Your Majesty Nanqi, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

Chu Mo and several people stepped forward to bow.

"A few envoys are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Mo and his party stood up.

"What are the envoys doing when they come to my Nanqi?"

Like Shan Guangyao, Emperor Qi at this moment also asked knowingly.

Chu Mo smiled indifferently, arched his hand towards Emperor Qi on the dragon chair and said: "Your Majesty, the 200,000 troops of Western Chu want to invade our Dawu Dynasty, and the Dawu Dynasty is in danger. ”

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, among the ministers, Prime Minister Pang Xuelin hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" What does the life and death of Dawu have to do with our Southern Qi? If we send troops in this matter, it will inevitably form a mortal enmity with Xichu, and the people of Southern Qi will definitely fall into dire straits, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, why is the Prime Minister so anxious?"

As soon as Pang Xuelin's voice fell, Ming King Shan Guangyao immediately stood up and said to Emperor Qi: "Your Majesty, the minister has received the news from the secret agent, the 200,000 troops of Western Chu have gathered in Dawu Zhongzhou, and now the garrison of the Western Chu Tianyu Pass is weak, if we send troops at this moment, we will be able to bring a heavy blow to the Western Chu, if our army can break through the Tianyu Pass, my Southern Qi army can drive straight into the Western Chu territory, this is a godsend for our Southern Qi, the minister is a little unintelligible, the Prime Minister is trying his best to prevent the dispatch of troops, What exactly is the purpose! ”

Shan Guangyao's words quickly attracted the support of many ministers, and these ministers who echoed were basically people of Shan Guangyao's lineage.

"His Royal Highness King Ming is cautious! The Prime Minister just doesn't want our Nanqi to fall into this dispute, and the Prime Minister is worried about our Nanqi people! ”

A supporter of Pang Xuelin stepped forward to retort.

"For the people of Southern Qi? Look, the prime minister is for himself, right? Haven't you heard about the incident of the ancient monument that is now spreading in the mouths of the people? ”

Another minister stood up and said coldly.

"Nonsense! The Prime Minister is dedicated to Southern Qi, how can he have the heart of rebellion! From the official's point of view, this matter is obviously that someone is trying to frame the prime minister! ”

After saying this, Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but look at Chu Mo and the others in front of the main hall.

"Whether it's true or not, someone knows it!"

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"

"Yes, those who are clear will clear themselves!"

All of a sudden, the entire hall resounded with a burst of discussions.

"Silence!"

Seeing this situation, Emperor Qi couldn't help but drink coldly, and when the ministers heard this, they relented.

"There is no doubt that the Prime Minister is loyal to my Nanqi for the country and the people."

As soon as Emperor Qi's words came out, the supporters of King Ming's side could only stop their verbal criticism and retreat to their original positions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Pang Xuelin arched his hand.

Shan Guangyao glanced at Pang Xuelin on the side, and said again: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

"King Ming, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Emperor Qi waved his hand.

"I beg Your Majesty to order the dispatch of troops, this opportunity is a godsend for our Southern Qi, the minister is willing to ask for his life, take the lead, and personally lead the army to the battle!"

"I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!"
