On the fifth day of the fourth month, the Cangming Emperor Dynasty.

Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the Emperor of Huanggu is determined to send troops to destroy Great Xia despite the internal dissuasion of the court, and has preliminarily decided on the military strategy."

Di listened to the division master should report respectfully to Cang Yongyuan, his expression mixed with a little excitement.

"My guess is really correct, this Great Xia Dynasty is indeed a powerful crutch that stirs up the world and breaks the balance!"

A bright light flashed in Cang Yongyuan's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he has no last resort!"

Ying Xiangjun took advantage of the situation and slapped a sycophant.

Cang Yongyuan glanced at Ying Xiangjun, stroked his beard under his chin and smiled.

"The Ancient Emperor Dynasty failed to seize the treasure, but took the life of his own Taishen Jun and the treasure of the Zhenguo Taihuang Mirror, which was already a big loss, but Gu Haoran still didn't understand the principle of stopping losses in time, so he had to send troops with an iron face, he was really a mediocre master, far worse than his father who died early."

Gu Haoran took over the throne from Gu Qingke, his father and Cang Yongyuan were peers, and he was once a party with a great reputation, but it was a pity that he was jealous of the talent, and he died early before he could take over the throne.

"What Your Majesty said is that Gu Haoran can't even compare to His Royal Highness the Prince, and in front of His Majesty, he can't even compare with a finger, how can he fight with His Majesty?"

"However, the more mediocre Gu Haoran is, the more beneficial it will be to my Cangying Emperor Dynasty."

"If the Ancient Empire wants to use troops against Great Xia this time, it will inevitably become a great opportunity for my Cangying Emperor Dynasty!"

Ying nodded to Jun Lian again and again, with a look of agreement.

Cang Yongyuan smiled and said lightly: "The Ancient Emperor Dynasty and Great Xia are not directly bordered, if you want to send troops, you must borrow from the Haoyuan Dynasty. ”

"Haoyuan, what kind of attitude do you know?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ancient Emperor sent an envoy to the Haoyuan Dynasty yesterday, it should be for the purpose of borrowing the Tao."

"It's just that, according to the secret spy's response, the meeting between the ancient envoy and the minister of Haoyuan broke up unhappily, and the Haoyuan side has not arranged for the ancient envoy to meet Emperor Haoyuan for the time being, so the Haoyuan Dynasty should have refused."

Hearing Ying Xiangjun's answer, Cang Yongyuan smiled noncommittally.

"The Haoyuan Dynasty is also a superior force, if the Ancient Emperor Dynasty talks with a commanding attitude, how can Haoyuan easily agree?"

"However, the gap between the two parties is there, and the Haoyuan Dynasty will most likely not hold on."

"According to me, the Haoyuan Dynasty should want to win some benefits from it, so as to protect its own face, so as not to be ridiculed by the world."

Ying Xiangjun nodded thoughtfully, and echoed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but with the heart of that Desolate Emperor, I am afraid it is unlikely to give much sweetness to the Haoyuan Dynasty, but it may be a further threat." ”

Cang Yongyuan bowed slightly, and glanced at Ying Xiangjun with appreciation.

"You're right, with Gu Haoran's heart, this possibility is not small."

To be affirmed by Cang Yongyuan, the spirit of the army should be more sufficient.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't the Ancient Emperor Dynasty be the first to meet the Haoyuan Dynasty?"

Cang Yongyuan shook his head, and Zhizhu said: "This possibility is extremely small, the Haoyuan Dynasty just wants to save face, even if the Ancient Emperor Dynasty refuses to give it, the Haoyuan Dynasty will not dare to really turn its face completely." ”

"Therefore, the final outcome will definitely be the Haoyuan Dynasty bowing its head, the difference is only how long the two sides will stalemate, and whether Haoyuan will secretly stumble on the Ancient Emperor Dynasty after Haoyuan bows his head."

Ying Xiangjun nodded suddenly, and after thinking for a while, he stared at Cang Yongyuan with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do? Do you want to intervene in it, or secretly provide some help to the Great Xia Dynasty in order to use the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty to consume as much of the power of the Ancient Emperor as possible? ”

Cang Yongyuan shook his head again and said calmly: "The time is not yet ripe, and we need to wait and see what happens." ”

"Wait and see?"

Ying Xiangjun couldn't help but be stunned, and said puzzledly: "Your Majesty, although the Great Xia Dynasty is mysterious, it also showed strong military combat power in the battle to destroy the Qiyue Alliance and defeat the army of the Nanke Kingdom, but compared with the army of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, I am afraid it is still a lot worse. ”

"As soon as the Desolate Ancient Heroes come out, relying on the strength of Great Xia itself, I'm afraid it will quickly rout......"

Cang Yongyuan took a sip of tea and smiled noncommittally.

"You underestimate Great Xia too much, and you underestimate that Great Xia Emperor too much, if you don't have a certain amount of confidence, how can he dare to offend the powerful neighbors of the Quartet, and even kill the ancient Tai God Monarch without hesitation?"

"Emperor Huanggu sent troops to the Dynasty this time, but it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to help us see the confidence of Great Xia."

"For this mysterious dynasty, we must first find out his bottom so that I can rest assured, at least I can know it in my heart."

"Let's take a look first, I estimate that even if Great Xia will continue to rout, it will not be defeated too quickly. It's really a critical moment, and it's not too late to help. ”

Cang Yongyuan thought a lot, and he always had due vigilance against Great Xia.

But no matter what the battle situation will turn into, it will be a good thing for the Cangying Emperor Dynasty, and the Cangying Emperor Dynasty is the fisherman who will profit the most in the end!

"Yes! The minister understood, and the minister would send additional spies, always paying attention to the negotiations between Ademo and Haoyuan, as well as the battle process between Great Xia and Asoku in the future! ”

Ying Xiang Jun knew his majesty's wisdom and immediately said no more.

……

Haoyuan Dynasty.

The Haoyuan Dynasty is located in the south of the Heavenly Desolate Domain, the northern part is the Desolate Ancient Imperial Dynasty, the southwest is bordered by the Xinghe Sect of the Heavenly Star Domain, the southern part also has a border line hundreds of miles long with the Great Xia Dynasty, and the eastern part is the Guiming Sea.

Because of its special geographical location, it happened to be between the Ancient Emperor and the Great Xia Dynasty, so it became the center of the current turmoil.

Imperial capital, imperial palace.

In the spacious and bright hall, seven or eight ministers stood at the foot of the stairs, furious and indignant.

Behind the royal case on the top of the stairs, there was an old man with a white beard and a cold face sitting on the throne wearing an imperial robe.

There is no doubt that he is the emperor of the Haoyuan Dynasty, Yuan Shimao.

"Your Majesty, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty is too deceitful! They just came to borrow the way, but instead of refusing to plead with politeness with good words, they also made a direct threat with nonsense, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”

"The Ancient Emperor Dynasty is used to being domineering, and it is not unusual to have such an attitude."

"Isn't it unusual? What does this mean, Lord Liu? Are we going to obediently agree to borrow the Tao like this? If that's the case, where will I put the face of the Haoyuan Dynasty? ”

"Not bad! If I bow my head like this, my Haoyuan Dynasty will inevitably become the laughing stock of the whole world! ”

Liu didn't say that he would agree like this, why should the two of them be so excited? What I mean is simple, continue to talk to them in a tough manner, but with a subtle reminder that they should talk to us with the right posture and at the right price, so that we can consider ......."

The ministers had a lot of disputes, but the underlying core meaning was the same, that is, to let the people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty discuss with them politely, rather than in a tone of orders and threats.

As for the decisive refusal, no one mentioned it.

However, there are exceptions.

I saw a military general with eyes like copper bells snorting sharply.

"My Haoyuan Dynasty is also a superior force, although it is not comparable to the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, but it is not impossible to fight!"

"The Ancient Emperor Dynasty has bullied us like this, and you are still licking your faces to make amends, what is the reason? Your backbones have been eaten by dogs?! ”

Hearing this, the faces of the other ministers instantly became extremely ugly, and they glared at the big-eyed military general angrily, annoyed and angry.

"General Mo, do you dare to insult me so much?! I'm all for Haoyuan's sake! ”

"General, what you say is too much! Everyone is a courtier of the Haoyuan Dynasty and a courtier of His Majesty, how can you not think about Haoyuan? ”

"As you said, although we can fight with the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, the huge gap between the two sides is there, have you ever thought about the consequences of starting a war?"

"We have no deep hatred with the Wasteland, in that case, how can we risk the destruction of the country to start a war with the Wasteland?"

Listening to everyone's justification, the general Haoyuan named Mo Gang was even more disdainful.

He didn't bother to pay attention to everyone, and simply looked up at Emperor Yuan Shimao.

"Your Majesty, people have personality, the country has national prestige, the ancient emperor trampled on the dignity of my Haoyuan Dynasty like this, is it unbearable!"

"If we take a step back today, the Coming Dynasty Desolate Ancient Emperor Dynasty will only continue to gain inches and keep infringing on the interests of my Haoyuan Dynasty!"

Therefore, the minister advised, they must be responded to with the strongest posture! I must let them realize that my Haoyuan Dynasty will never be humiliated! ”

Yuan Shimao stared at Mo Gang for a long time, and then spoke in a slow voice without expression.

"I naturally understand what the general said."

"It's just, if the Ancient Emperor Dynasty really moves troops against my Haoyuan, what should I do?"

Mo Gang snorted coldly and said categorically: "The minister thinks that the Ancient Emperor Dynasty will never dare to really start a war with my Haoyuan!" ”

"Because even if they can destroy my Haoyuan, they will suffer heavy losses, and at that time, how can they resist the Cangying Emperor Dynasty and the Moro Emperor Dynasty?"

"Therefore, the minister concluded that the Ancient Emperor Dynasty would never dare to take risks!"

"What's more, even if the Ancient Emperor Dynasty really sends troops, we can also join forces with the Great Xia Dynasty, and they won't not understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth!"

Hearing Mo Gang's words, the rest of the courtiers looked ugly.

"Your Majesty! Never! Doing so is too risky, and my Haoyuan Dynasty must not be able to bear it! This was originally the trouble caused by the Great Xia Dynasty, how could we Haoyuan Dynasty bear the bitter consequences? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, in order to protect the peace of my Haoyuan, we must adopt a roundabout strategy......"

"A bunch of soft bones!"

Mo Gang unceremoniously spoke out with disdain, and was about to persuade again, but was stopped by Yuan Shimao raising his hand.

"What the general said is indeed reasonable, but the major affairs of the family and the country are not decided by gambling, and I must be responsible for the safety of thousands of Haoyuan people."

"The dispute between the Ancient and Great Xia has nothing to do with us, and we must not get involved in it."

"However, we can't let them trample on my Haoyuan's dignity at will. Just do what Shang Shuling said, and try to make the Huanggu Emperor understand what we mean and strive for the greatest interests. ”

"Yes! Obey the order! ”

The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, but only Mo Gang's face was pale.
