Yue Guo.

Located in the south of Chu and a small country at the junction of the southern Zhou and northern regions, there are many lofty mountains, rats, ants and poisonous insects, and the environment is humid, although it stretches for more than 4,000 miles, it only occupies the coastal line, and the actual territory is not large.

The Yue Kingdom has a long history, and it existed during the Thirteen Kingdoms period, but its strength is too weak, and it pays annual coins to the surrounding countries every year, and due to geographical factors, there are no countries to attack it.

After the chaos in the Central Plains, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom was ambitious, and the Yue State at that time had been recuperating for many years, and the national strength was relatively strong, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to compete for the world and expand their territory.

It's a pity that just had the capital, and met Chu Taizu who was fighting for hegemony in the world at that time, the army of Yue just came out of Yue, and was beaten back by Chu Taizu, and since then it has been in a slump, and later Chu Taizu pacified the Central Plains and established Chu State, Yue State was a vassal to Chu State, and became a vassal state of Chu State, and paid annual coins to Chu State every year.

Later, when the state of Chu declined and the Southern Zhou rose, the Yue State recognized the Southern Zhou as the main state, and wanted to become a vassal state of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and did not pay the annual currency to the Chu State.

This move directly annoyed the state of Chu, and directly dispatched the forbidden army to attack the state of Yue.

The Yue State asked for help from the Southern Zhou State as soon as possible, and at that time, the Southern Zhou did not want to fight with the Chu State head-on, so they did not help, and the Yue *** team collapsed without a fight, and hurriedly sent envoys to sue for peace with the Chu State, and continued to respect the Chu State as the suzerain.

At this time, Nan Zhou was dissatisfied again.

"Yohe, you kid is only afraid of the Chu State, not our Southern Zhou, aren't you?"

As a result, the Southern Zhou also attacked the Yue State, and was even more ruthless than the Chu State, annexing one-third of the territory of the Yue State, which frightened the King of Yue and hurriedly asked for help from the Chu State.

And the state of Chu was extremely unhappy with the behavior of the Yue country, and did not help.

At this point, the Yue State had to pay the New Year's currency to the Chu State and the Southern Zhou State every year to maintain the peace of the Yue State itself.

The territory of the king of Yue is not large, and it is mountainous, poisonous insects, rats and ants, and there is very little land that can be used for farming.

As a result, the country was plagued by resentment and often rebellions.

However, although the Yue State could not win against the Chu State and the Southern Zhou State, it did not mean that the Yue State had a weak army, but the two countries were too strong, and there was no problem in suppressing the domestic rebellion.

However, I don't think it's a problem, if you just rely on force to suppress it, sooner or later there will be problems.

With the internal turmoil in the Chu State, the Southern Zhou was hit hard.

When the two countries had no time to take care of the Yue Kingdom, the resentment of the Yue Kingdom reached its peak, which caused a large-scale rebellion, and the rebellion swept the whole country in a short time, and at this time, the Yue State monarch Nangong Mu suddenly contracted a vicious disease, seriously ill, and passed the throne to the hands of the prince Nangong Jin before his death, and ordered the Taishi Dongfang Qiong to assist.

Dongfang Qiong is also Nangong Jin's father-in-law, Nangong Jin not only trusts Dongfang Qiong very much, but also loves the side concubine Dongfang Xue very much, after ascending the throne, not only named Dongfang Qiong the prime minister of Yue, but also gave Dongfang Xue the queen, so he also forced the original princess to death.

However, Dongfang Qiong's wolf ambition betrayed Nangong Jin's trust, and gradually set aside the imperial power, and finally abolished Nangong Jin and supported Nangong Jin and Dongfang Xue's son Nangong Luo to ascend the throne.

Since then, the entire Yue Dynasty has become Dongfang Qiong's Yiyan Hall.

The Queen Mother's Bedroom.

Dongfang Qiong, who was at the peak of the Yue Imperial Court, was discussing with Dongfang Xue whether to ask for help from Southern Zhou or Chu.

In the current situation in Vietnam, it is difficult for the power of the imperial court alone to suppress the turmoil in various places, so it can only seek help from external forces.

Dongfang Xue Neng is deeply favored by Nangong Jin, naturally has a beautiful appearance, a slender and slender figure, soft jade arms like snow lotus, beautiful and round slender jade legs, skin like jade, in the Yue country has the name of snow beauty, wearing a luxurious and wide palace skirt, although entering the age of standing, but the face has not left traces of time.

"Father, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenxi of the State of Chu has successfully mutinied, occupied the Jingshi of the State of Chu, and was named the King of Zhenxi by the Emperor of Chu. However, the Southern Zhou Dynasty suffered a heavy blow from the Heavenly Master Army in the last Fuyou City, and even the general Zhou Jiuyue, who had entered the realm of the grandmaster, was killed by Chen Mo, and the heavy pass of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was lost

Li is no longer the opponent of the Chu State, according to her daughter's opinion, because she completely fell to the Chu State, respected the Chu State as the main, promised heavy benefits, and broke off the connection with the Southern Zhou......

Unlike the harem of other countries that are not allowed to interfere in politics, in the history of the Yue Kingdom, there are many examples of harem politics, more than 300 years ago, there was a female monarch, although it was quickly overthrown, but the women's participation in the court affairs is no longer new.

Dongfang Xue also has a mind for this.

Dongfang Qiong nodded, he thought so too, Yue Guo was too weak, and he didn't even have a strong grandmaster.

If it weren't for factors such as mountains, it would have been annexed by the Chu State a long time ago.

Later, the Southern Zhou Dynasty rose.

Neither the Chu State nor the Southern Zhou State wanted to go over to the other side, so they only exploited the Yue State, causing the Yue State to pay the two annual coins.

Now that the Chu State is showing signs of revival and the civil strife has subsided, it is difficult for the Southern Zhou, which has lost its troops and lost its troops, to be an opponent.

Taking advantage of this time to fall to the Chu State, after the Chu State completely defeats the Southern Zhou in the future, the Yue State will also be able to get some benefits.

At this moment, a eunuch trotted in: "Xiangguo, Queen Mother, the envoy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty asks to see."

Dongfang Xue and Dongfang Qiong glanced at each other, their eyes certain.

Before they could react, a palace maid hurriedly ran in again: "The queen mother is not good, the eldest princess has fled, I heard that she is going to Chu State to borrow troops......

Dongfang Xue and Dongfang Qiong's father and daughter's faces changed.

…

"Drive."

"Drive."

"Drive..."

On a certain mountain and forest road in the territory of the Yue Kingdom, a girl wearing a fiery red dress and a fox fur on the outside was galloping on a fast horse, and the horsewhip was whipped on the horse's buttocks.

The girl's jade face is beautiful and graceful, her thin eyebrows are deep, sweat flows down her forehead into her eyes, the girl's eyes narrowed, and she dripped, and she grabbed the horse rope tightly with one hand, and pressed the saber on her waist with the other hand, and looked back at the officers and soldiers chasing behind her, and shouted: "You are bold, this palace is the eldest princess of Jinyang, you can't eat the bear's heart and leopard, dare to chase and kill this palace..."

Chu State, Jingshi.

County Lord's Mansion.

"Well, that's what it is, I promise, there's not a hint of concealment."

In the house, Chen Mo told Xiao Yunxi's wives and concubines about it meticulously.

The women looked at him with strange eyes.

Even Chu Lechan, who pestered him the most, frowned and looked at him through gritted teeth.

ps: Let's talk about the Empress Dowager Zhang, unlike a heroine like Ning Yuelan, the Empress Dowager Zhang is at most a female supporting role, who will accept it, the protagonist but will not give her feelings.
