Chapter 104: Weakening the Vassal King
The discussion continued, Xia Yan coughed lightly twice, signaling everyone on the field to be quiet.
"The first thing is the disposal of the vassal kings!"
Hearing the vassal king, a group of gossiping old men began to close their ears to a few points.
These vassal kings have been gaining momentum lately, and they have been doing their best to govern their fiefdoms, and I don't know what gifts His Majesty intends to continue to give them.
However, the gift did not wait, but the shock did.
I saw Xia Yan's little hand shake, and Father-in-law Yu on the side quickly stepped forward and took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago and began to read it.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The six vassal kings, without His Majesty's instructions to privately raise troops, His Majesty's original intention was to order the vassal kings to guard the border passes, and now the kings have seriously threatened the imperial court by embezzling the armor, so it is limited that all the vassal kings' troops shall not exceed 50,000, and the supporting equipment is also such a number, if there is a violation, it will be beheaded directly to show the public!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
It's normal to weaken the strength of the vassal king, but it's not necessary to be so ruthless with a direct sword, right?
Is this an attempt to bring the vassal king to death?
You must know that the neighbors around Great Xia today are no longer weak and small countries like the Candle Country at the beginning.
Which of those neighboring countries does not have an army of 180,000.
In front of such a neighbor, what can the major vassal kings do with only 50,000 troops?
Don't say it's occupying your neighbors, and even self-defense is enough.
So everyone in the court and China started a violent quarrel.
"Your Majesty, this is not good!! This is a great weakening of the border defense!! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this TM is a plan to destroy the country!!"
"If that's the case, those vassal kings will be abolished!!"
How many people opposed the feudal feud at the beginning, how much they defend it now.
Seeing this, Xia Yan also smiled coldly.
Lao Tzu wants to be a faint monarch if he wants to seal the domain, and now he wants to restrict the feudal king and becomes a faint monarch again? It's all up to you old men to have the final say?
This time, Xia Yan was not ready to retreat.
Because he already felt a real sense of danger.
For the first time, it was because when he captured Changguo, Liancheng and Jiangcheng were suddenly included in the territory of Great Xia.
The second time was when he followed Huo Qubing to fight the Shenhuang Empire.
He found that with a general like Huo Quzhi, he didn't need to do anything at all to sleep peacefully.
In the past, if he wanted to stay here, Huo Quzhi was definitely a good subordinate.
But now, it's a ticking time bomb.
God knows, whether he, Zhuge Liang and the others will be okay to make some surprise for themselves.
Now, all he can do is limit them to the vassal kings, so that they don't have extra troops to attack the surrounding areas.
As long as they don't have troops, then they can rest easy.
And this is also the reason why Xia Yan is desperate to fight for reason today.
Only by completely removing this hidden danger can we have a better future!
And there is another advantage in this, that is, you can take advantage of the situation to force Zhu Di and Cao Cao, who are closest to you.
Maybe this decision will make them dissatisfied and have the idea of rebellion.
Not enough troops? It's okay, you can find a way to help!
So, in the next moment, Xia Yan began to spray with several uncles.
What the uncles said is that this is tantamount to cutting off an arm, and it is destined to be difficult.
Xia Yan said that this group of vassal kings threatened the imperial power and must be strictly controlled.
After half an hour of quarrelling, Xia Yan finally won by an extremely narrow margin.
Several uncles were tired and sat down on the ground, and they could only wave their hands helplessly.
After all, what Xia Yan said is not unreasonable.
The power of the vassal king is monstrous, which is not a good thing, and it is still okay to properly supervise it.
But the scale still has to be well grasped, and several people also understand that it is not a day's work to wear a drop of stone.
As long as he grinds slowly in the future, Xia Yan will always let go.
So several people also regained their smiles, "That's it, doesn't Your Majesty have a second thing, say it, I'll listen to you!" ”
"That's great!" Xia Yan took a deep breath, this level was finally passed.
"After my deliberation last night, I have decided to go in three days!"
Hearing the expedition, the originally quiet court instantly became lively again.
Everyone's hearts were filled with joy, as if as long as they set out on the expedition, they would inevitably reap the rewards.
It's not a mediocre decision.
It's really like a dream for them in the past few months, as long as Xia Yan goes out, he will definitely win.
No matter how ridiculous a tactic may seem to you, if you actually get to the battlefield and complete it, it can turn things around.
Now everyone has recognized the fact that this kid who looks milky on the dragon chair is actually a wise man with great talent!
Since it is Ming Jun, as long as Xia Yan is spoken, everyone will not doubt it.
So, speak your mind boldly, Assi!!
Everyone was full of expectations, and Xia Yan also directly revealed his plan and inventory.
After calculation, after deducting 50,000 soldiers from each of the six feudal kings, the rest will be gathered in Hucheng, and Hucheng will have a total of 400,000 soldiers, and the whole army will attack!
As for the destination of the dispatch, it is a country in the northwest of the Divine Phoenix Country, the Frey Country.
Frey has borders on Xidan and Shenhuang, and due to the very poor living conditions in the cold and freezing, Frey has always used outward invasion to survive.
Relying on aggression, Frey has expanded its territory by more than ten times, and its army is highly powerful.
It's just that Frey is a disaster for Frey's neighbors, because this thing has to start a war every now and then.
If you can fight, you will be swallowed up directly, and if you can't beat it, you will be tired for a while, rest for a while, and then fight for a while.
Anyway, it has to make you worry all the time.
The worst of these is the Divine Phoenix Kingdom, because the border with Xidan is an extremely huge iceberg.
The iceberg is tall, covered with countless snow, and it is difficult for ordinary people to go up the mountain, let alone come down from above.
It's hard to imagine what would happen if a large expanse of snow and ice slipped down on it.
But fortunately, there is an extremely large dense forest on the boundary of Xidan located below the iceberg.
Because of the border, this dense forest has not been taken care of for many years.
Trees rise from the ground above the dense forest, the tallest is even tens of meters high, and there are all kinds of wild beasts in the dense forest.
Ten thousand steps back, even if the people above fell and saved a life in an extremely lucky situation, the beasts in the dense forest would kill them.
It is for this reason that although Sidan is on the border with Frey, he can sit back and relax.
Anyway, the Sidan people can't go up, and the Frey can't go down, and this border is no different from no border.
And this is also the reason why the neighbor of Frey, the Divine Phoenix Country, stationed troops at the junction.
There are 500,000 soldiers in the north of the Shenhuang Kingdom, and 300,000 are used to defend the Frey Kingdom alone.
No way, for such a powerful country, one can accidentally gnaw you off a piece of meat, you have to guard against it!
