Jiankang in the Southern Dynasty, before the sky was bright, the Qinhuai River gradually sounded the voice of people, in the Taicheng Palace, the lord of the Southern Dynasty Chen Ji was sitting on the dragon couch, and the fiery red dragon robe lined his already pale face became more and more gloomy.

But the pearl in front of the crown hung down, and I couldn't see the expression of this majesty clearly...... Chen Ji touched the Zhenyu lion on the table, lowered his eyelids, and turned a deaf ear to the bitter crying pleas of the person at the bottom of the stairs.

“…… Your Majesty, the tyrant Gao Wei Kou my territory, destroy my temple, Guanzhong, Longyou, Jinnan, Henan all fell into his hands, although my lord rose up and attacked, he could not stop the general trend of Gao Wei, I ask Your Majesty to send troops to help me recover my homeland, my lord is willing to cut Jingxiang to give back to friends! …… In order to show sincerity, my lord is willing to send Wang Bao and Yu Xin back to your majesty's disposal. ”

The subordinate color of the steps is different from the courtiers of the Southern Dynasty, it is the envoy of the Zhou State Du Gao, Yuwen Yong fled to Shuzhong, and he couldn't even take a break, so he hurriedly made Du Gao send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty, wanting to ask for reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty and clamp down on the Northern Qi together...... When Du Gao said that he was urgent, he actually fell to the ground and wailed, without the solemnity and dignity of the envoys of a country, and there were already people in the palace who showed sympathy.

The ministers of the dead country showed their hearts, and even the iron man wanted to cry because of the pain, but Chen Ji was indifferent from the beginning to the end...... It's not that he is hard-hearted, it's really changing too fast, and even he doesn't have time to react.

According to the danger of Guanzhong and the solidity of Kuihan, Yuwen Yong has at least two or three hundred thousand soldiers available under his command, and it is actually over?

Chen Ji felt very absurd, and then he was confused, in his eyes, although there is a gap in strength between the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou, the gap will not be very large, the Northern Zhou cannot annihilate the Northern Qi, as an ally to contain Gao Wei, it must be easy, after all, when the Northern Qi is decided, the enemy of life and death is the Zhou State, not the Southern Dynasty, and the national policy of emphasizing the northwest and ignoring the southeast will not change, and the Southern Dynasty will have a chance.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that the war between the two kingdoms of Zhou and Qi was stalemate, Chen Ji immediately raised troops and marched to Huainan, intending to recover the lost territory and take Huainan and Huaibei, which was supported by all the ministers, but everyone did not expect that Gao Wei was sharpening his knife this time, regardless of the head and tail, and went straight to the door of life, and came specifically to ask for Yu Wenyong's life; I didn't expect that these hundreds of thousands of Qi troops could really blow the lamp and pull out the wax to sweep the Zhou Kingdom!

He originally thought that even if Gao Wei was surprisingly lucky, the warring sides would have to fight for at least half a year, who would have thought that so quickly, the Northern Zhou would be defeated, not only Hongnong was lost, but even the basic plate of Guanzhong was lost......

Chen Ji is now riding a tiger!

After all, it is Chen Ji who betrays the alliance, and the righteousness is in the hands of Gao Wei, if the Southern Dynasty has already captured Huainan at this time, Chen Ji naturally has nothing to fear, it is nothing more than a war of words. But the problem now is that the Northern Expedition goal of the Southern Dynasty can only be said to have been completed in a small way, the time is too short, and Wu Mingche's troops are far from reaching Shouyang, not to mention waiting for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Wang Lin.

The most optimistic estimate of this battle will have to be fought for half a year.

His side is not over yet, but Gao Wei has already freed his hands, and when he transfers the army back to Ye, he will immediately go south to counterattack, won't this Northern Expedition become a joke?

The more Chen Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the road ahead was bleak, and under the situation of lack of confidence, he was naturally not so enthusiastic about Da Zhou, who almost lost the country, and when Du Gao finished his self-presentation, he just said nonchalantly:

"Your lord's intentions, I already know, about the matter of increasing the use of troops in the Qi country, this matter is very important, I still have to discuss it with the ministers of the ranks, you are lucky, go down and rest."

After that, a few people came up to ask Du Gao to go down, Du Gao wanted to say a few more words, but it can be seen that Lord Chen's expression was faint, and he didn't dare to say anything more immediately, and he went down after waving his hand...... Chen Ji tiredly pressed his temples that were beating wildly, closed his eyes for a long time, and suddenly sighed and said:

"Gao Wei has unified the north, its national strength is stronger than that of Wei before, Zhou State has hundreds of thousands of armor, and it is not the opponent of Qi State, so that the country is ruined, all the way to Shuzhong, I heard that even Zhou Hou has become Gao Wei's prisoner...... I did not hesitate to betray the alliance and seize Huainan while he was on his westward expedition, is it right or wrong? ”

The ministers in the palace looked at each other blankly, and then Xu Ling came out and asked, "Your Majesty has the heart to retreat?" ”

This remark was not polite, but Chen Ji opened his eyes and looked at Xu Ling, but there was no anger in his expression: "The strength of our dynasty is not as good as that of the Northern Dynasty, and the only ally who can support has suffered a big defeat and almost destroyed the country, I am afraid that I will not be able to count on it in the future...... What they promised, except for Wang Bao and Yu Xin, is still in their hands, which is what they can give? ”

Chen Ji put down the Zhenyu Lion in his hand and sighed: "Although Wang Bao and Yu Xin have long been famous in the literary world, and I really want them to come back, but a pen of Confucianism, after all, cannot be an army of thousands of horses. ”

Wang Bao and Yu Xin are a generation of Wenzong, both were exiled to Chang'an after the fall of Jiangling, the Northern Dynasty is good and brave, and also likes to decorate the façade in literary affairs, the Northern Zhou Dynasty can conquer many famous generals, but there are few famous Wenzong, so they are highly respected and treated with courtesy. When the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen secretly formed an alliance last year, Chen Ji asked Zhou Guo for the two of them in order to test the sincerity of Zhou Guo, but they were all sternly refused.

Now in order to fight against Qi Guo, Zhou Guo actually took out these two characters who were regarded as baby bumps as bargaining chips, but Chen Wei didn't want it anymore...... After all, no matter how powerful a nerd is, he is just a nerd, and he will die if he stabs him.

After Xu Ling heard this, he frowned tightly, and said again: "The Zhou State lost Guanzhong, after all, there is still Shuzhong, which can be a corner of the Shu Kingdom back then, but our dynasty has lost Jingxiang and Lianghuai, and the situation is not as good as Sun Wu back then." ”

Chen Ji was silent, and then heard him say: "Since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, all those in the Southern Dynasty who have done something have not wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, the first year of Jin Jianwu, Zudi's Northern Expedition; Jin Xiankang five years, Yu Liang Northern Expedition; In the ninth year of Jin Yonghe, Yin Hao's Northern Expedition; Promoted to Ping for three years, Xie Wan's Northern Expedition ......"

Xu Ling's expression was excited, and he talked endlessly, Chen Ji frowned, and finally looked at each other angrily, and scolded in a deep voice: "Enough." ”

“…… Jin Yonghe ten years, Yonghe twelve years, Taihe four years, three Northern Expeditions ......" Xu Ling spoke quickly.

"-Xu Qing, I said, that's enough!"

“…… Liang Tianjian for four years, Xiao Hong's Northern Expedition; Liang Datong for three years, Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition; In the first year of Liang Taiqing, Xiao Yuanming's Northern Expedition! In our dynasty, we have to go on a northern expedition! Xu Ling finally finished reporting, first bowed to Chen Ji, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Expedition was to recover the territory and dominate the world; Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to recover the land of Henan laid by Liu Yu, Hebei Guanzhong had no intention of touching it at all; As for Xiao Qi and Xiao Liang, the imperial court only competed with the Northern Dynasties in Zhongli and Shouyang, and when it came to our dynasty, even the land in the north of the river could not be guaranteed. Your Majesty Mingjian!! ”

In the end, he actually took off his hat in front of Chen Gao, and cried on the ground like Du Gao, as if he expected the country to be overturned in the future...... The ministers in the hall were all speechless, their hearts were shocked, and they couldn't make a sound.

Chen Ji was retreating, Xu Ling disagreed with him, and was about to scold, but after being robbed by Xu Ling, his thoughts were shaken again, and he hesitated for a while, in a dilemma!
