The Davidic Dynasty, the Royal Palace.

As soon as the sky was brightened, the bell that called on the civil and military officials to enter the palace for deliberations rang from the Yuhua bell tower.

This made many ministers a little flustered, because today is not the prescribed day of the court, and some people even have a hangover until dawn, and their minds are still a little unclear.

This is a bit ridiculous, after all, the Davidian Dynasty has reached the brink of annihilation, and the enemy army can kill the imperial capital anytime and anywhere.

However, some people have already found a way out, others are worried that they will not be liquidated by the new ruling regime, and some are just drinking to drown their sorrows.

When calamity comes, all living beings appear together.

After entering the court hall, hundreds of officials kept whispering, trying to find out the reason for the sudden convening of the court meeting.

"Bai Shilang, Your Majesty suddenly summoned urgently, what happened? But the last line of defense has also been breached, and the enemy army will soon reach the imperial capital? ”

"You ask me, I want to ask you! Isn't your cousin the captain of the Night Wandering Division? If the tide of battle changes, he should always be the first to know, right? ”

"Hey, what else do you want to mention the Night Touring Division? The Night Tour Division itself has limited capabilities, and under this series of wars, the big net of the Night Tour Division has long been scattered, and the information that can be obtained is quite limited. Besides, I haven't seen my cousin for more than half a month, so I don't know if something happened......"

"Cheng, you should always know something, right?"

"What can I know? Now the city is full of rumors, there is chaos everywhere, and the news is also true and false, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, where can I know? ”

"Alas! Heaven will kill me, David! What can I do? ”

"Yes, the Chu army and the Liang army are like wolves and tigers, once they enter the imperial capital, how many of us old bones will survive?"

"Don't talk about us, it's our family, I'm afraid it's hard to live!"

"Wait, you say, did Great Xia agree to send troops to help us?"

"Great Xia? Hum! What else do you count on them? If they really wanted to save us, would they have shirked again and again and kept delaying time? ”

"What is said is that even if Great Xia Ken sends troops, it will take time to mobilize a large army. But when they are ready, I'm afraid that Emperor David will have all been reduced to rubble, where will I have time? ”

The hall was noisy, and almost all of the people were worried, and they kept sighing.

Of course, there are also pretentious ......

"Your Majesty has arrived~"

As a shout sounded, Baiguan hurriedly collected his expression and quickly returned to his position and stood with his head bowed.

After bowing and getting up, the hundred officials looked at each other a little.

Because at this moment, Emperor Wei Yongzheng was sitting on the throne with a happy face, and the sorrow, anger, and hesitation all disappeared!

"Zhong Aiqing! I have a good news, great news! ”

Wei Yong raised his hands and said, looking excited.

Looking at the ecstatic Wei Yong, instead of being surprised, the hundred officials were a little inexplicable, and there was even a little more pity in their eyes when they looked at Wei Yong.

Your Majesty, aren't you confused?

At such times, where is there any great good news?

Wei Yong didn't pay attention to the eyes of the hundred officials, but just said excitedly there.

"Great Xia, send troops!"

Hearing this, the ministers were stunned for a moment.

Great Xia sent troops? When was this?

"Your Majesty, did Great Xia really send troops? When did the troops come out? ”

A minister hurriedly asked.

"After nightfall yesterday, the Great Xia army has already moved out and entered the western realm of my David!"

Wei Yong said loudly, his spirit flying.

"If it's fast, it will be able to appear in the rear of the Great Chu army the day after tomorrow!"

"Even if it's slow, it's definitely going to happen the day after tomorrow!"

"What? Troops were already sent last night? ”

In the face of the sudden good news, the ministers were surprised and delighted, feeling that the heavens had finally favored them!

But at the same time, there are also people whose eyelids jump, and a touch of gloom flashes under their eyes.

These people are smart people, and they have already prepared a way out for themselves, either Da Liang or Da Chu.

But now, Great Xia suddenly sent troops, which obviously brought them a lot of threat.

Because once David withstood the onslaught of the Chu army and the Liang army, and survived until the arrival of the Great Xia army, then David had no possibility of continuing his life!

If the East Window incident happens, all nine of them will not be protected!

At this moment, they were still a little hesitant and a little afraid of their old feelings and reputation, but they secretly made a decision in their hearts......

"Great! After three or four days' work, I, the Davids, will definitely be able to hold on! ”

"Yes, as long as you can survive until the arrival of the Great Xia army, this disaster will definitely be overcome! That Great Xia army is a mighty army that is brave and invincible! ”

"God is merciful, my David, I am finally saved!"

After the excitement, one of the ministers suddenly asked the most crucial question.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask how many troops Great Xia has sent this time?"

"One legion, six hundred thousand!"

Wei Yong laughed, touched the beard under his chin and said.

600,000?

Hearing this answer, the ministers were stunned, and the joy on their faces faded a lot.

"Your Majesty, the Chu army and the Liang army together are more than two million! Although the combat strength of the Great Xia army is strong, it can only be 600,000, which is ......"

Wei Yong didn't care.

"What's the hurry? Although Great Xia only sent one legion in the direction of my David, at the same time they also sent another legion to directly attack Great Chu! ”

"The Great Chu country has been attacked, so can the Chu army that plundered our country not retreat?"

"In this way, the two of us only need to deal with Liang Jun! The Great Xia army is already brave, and with the elite strategy of our dynasty for the rest of its life, if you want to defeat the Great Liang army, is it not easy to capture? ”

Although Wei Yong didn't think that things would be so smooth and easy, at this moment, he had to give everyone a big tonic pill.

Therefore, he naturally wants to say whatever is advantageous.

At this most critical juncture, he must calm people's hearts and boost morale!

"Your Majesty! If it weren't for His Majesty's insistence on courting Great Xia for help, I, David, would not have any hope of turning the tide of the battle! ”

"What Master Ma said is extremely true, all of this is due to His Majesty's wise decision!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Facing the cheers of the ministers, Wei Yong laughed.

"All this is not only the credit of me, but also the credit of all Aiqing, and the credit of those soldiers who bravely killed the enemy at the cost of their lives!"

"Tell me the will! Immediately spread the news of the arrival of the Great Xia army to the world and the army! ”

"I want every people and every soldier to know that I, David, will not die! We have the strongest allies! We will crush all the enemies who come to us! ”

"Yes!"

……

After the end of the court meeting, the hundred officials dispersed one after another.

An hour later, six or seven officials quietly came to a secret meeting in a tea garden to cover their whereabouts.

In an extremely secret basement, seven figures sat together with calm faces.

"What should I do?"

"What else can I do? Now, I can only let go of everything and do it! ”

"It's... Why don't we think about it again? ”

"What else to consider? Hum! Han Xiu, I advise you not to have the idea of taking chances. Even if our affairs will not be found out by the Night Tour Division in the future, even if the bad people of Great Xia and the net will not receive any rumors, Da Chu's side will definitely not spare us! ”

"Yes, if we go back on our word, the people of Da Chu will definitely shake everything out, and then we will inevitably die! In that case, we have to fight for it! ”

"It's not that I don't understand the reason, but to let him lead his subordinates to fight back against his comrades, this is too cruel, I am afraid that he may not be able to do it......"

"Can't do it? Hum! Then you have to let him think clearly, see if he wants his wife and daughter to die, or let someone else die! ”

Among the seven people, the only one who hesitated was obviously the person named Han Xiu, and listening to their conversation, the other person related to Han Xiu was also related to the success or failure of a major event.

After more than ten breaths of silence, the voice belonging to Han Xiu finally broke the dead silence, and his tone was obviously a little bitter.

"I see......"

"It's just that, have you ever thought that if the Great Chu country was attacked by Great Xia, would the Great Chu army withdraw? If they withdraw, what's the point of what we're doing? ”

"Hey! You don't want to listen to the old emperor's nonsense there, Da Chu is not a sick cat without minions, they still have more than a million troops in their own country, how can they be forced to a desperate situation with 600,000 troops in Daxia? ”

"Besides, even if Great Xia can do it, it will take a long time. Do you think that with those moments, we are not enough to solve everything? ”

"That is, as long as there is a move, the Chu army will be able to break through the defense line immediately, and it will be able to kill the imperial capital in two days at most! When the imperial capital is taken, everything should be over. ”

Han Xiu opened his mouth, finally sighed and nodded silently.

……

Almost at the same time, in a palatial official residence somewhere, eight or nine people gathered.

"What do you think should be done?"

"Guogong, the defense line has been arranged, and the rest is the imperial capital. There are still 150,000 troops in the imperial capital, and if they resist desperately, and the imperial court recruits warriors to help defend the city, there may not be no hope of holding out until the arrival of the Great Xia army. ”

"So, we must keep the imperial capital in our hands! Otherwise, if the imperial court survives, all of us will have to die without a place to be buried! ”

"Well, do you have to take this step after all......"

"Guogong, the situation is like this, we... No other way! ”

"Yes, if we had known that Great Xia would send troops, we shouldn't have ...... in the first place."

"When is this all here, where is the mind to assume?"

"Guogong, please make a decision! We don't have much time left, we have to have everything ready in two days! ”

Listening to the anxious urging, an old man sitting on the main seat slowly got up, turned his head and stared at the plaque of "Three Generations of Loyalty" for a long time, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"We've given enough for David! Now, it's time to think about ourselves......"

"Let's do it!"
