It was not very far from the Queen's City, and after two days of riding horses from the port, several generals rushed to the Queen's City, and soon the news shocked the entire nobles of the Queen's City.

As the king of the Queen's Kingdom, Ben Lishetai is close to forty years old this year, but she never expected that people would encounter such drastic changes in middle age, and when she got the news, her whole body was numb.

How is this ...... & this possible? As a vassal state of Datang, who doesn't know how powerful Datang is now? The ships of the Tang Dynasty are constantly shuttling back and forth throughout the South China Seas, can the queen not know? Moreover, those continents opposite the queen kingdom are already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, of course they also know.

"Your Majesty, this is slander, and it is an excuse that Datang deliberately found in order to invade our land, and we can't compromise." Below the court, a minister spoke indignantly.

"I agree, look at this so-called edict, if it is not issued by His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, it will be forgotten, just because five people died, let us surrender the whole country? Just let the queen surrender? What's next? Annexation of us outright? Another minister spoke angrily.

"As I said a few years ago, Datang's ambitions have been revealed, take a look at Xue Yantuo, Murowei and other countries, which have been continuously annexed by Datang, and the islands in the South Seas, the mainland has also been planted by Datang under its own flag."

"At that time, you said that as long as we sincerely follow Datang and become a subject of Datang with peace of mind, we will not be in danger, but now?" A man in the crowd dressed in a military general's costume also stepped forward.

Ben Lishetai listened in silence, there were some things she didn't know, but were they the point now?

"Is there a possibility that Manbe actually did these things?" The other minister was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

His words quieted everyone in the court, but after the silence, the previous minister jumped out and said, "What if Mangbe really did this? It is indeed dependent on our Queen, but we simply have no way to govern them. ”

"That's right, what if you said that you really did this, then Datang sent troops to the queen because Mangbu was attached to our queen country, and also because of these five lives, and the army pressed the border, so let us surrender, what can you do? What can we do? The minister gave him a faint look, and then said with a calm face.

Forehead...... All of a sudden, the entire court was quiet, and everyone was stunned, yes, even if Datang really did it, so what?

"Right Minister, what do you think we should do?" Ben Lishetai took a deep breath and spoke, almost all of these small countries around Datang follow Datang to implement the three-province and six-ministry system, but many countries don't need so many officials, so they don't need so many departments, and many structures are naturally streamlined.

For example, the queen kingdom has left and right ministers, the two prime ministers are the highest officials, and there are other departments below to deal with the affairs of the country.

"Your Majesty, now I don't think we should discuss this nonsense, whether Datang wants to annex us or not, whether it is because of the real Mangbu who has done these things, it is useless to investigate these reasons, the point now is that Datang is not only overwhelmed by the army, but at least tens of thousands of elite troops have arrived to control the largest port in our country."

"The other side not only controls our port, but also allows Your Majesty to lead the whole country to surrender, that is to say, we must give the other party an explanation, whether we want to or not, we only have two options now, first, war, and second, find a way to negotiate peace." The right minister said seriously.

The words of the right minister made the other ministers also silent, because it seems that now ...... As if they only have this option.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Is it war? Or peace talks. Ben Lishetai asked, looking at them.

When it came to the war, everyone stopped talking, including the general who shouted fiercely before. Speaking of the Queen's Kingdom, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the problem is that these soldiers are scattered in all directions of the Queen's Kingdom, and many of the soldiers themselves are there to make up the numbers.

If they are simply counted as elite soldiers worthy of a war, they only have 50,000 to be called an army.

But can 50,000 elites defeat Datang?

"If we have to fight, we can choose to use the mountains and forests and other terrain to fight against Datang, we don't have much experience in this kind of mountains and forests in Nanyang, and they may not be able to adapt to the climate here, presumably we still have the strength to fight." A very old general in the crowd suddenly spoke.

"There is no chance, whether it is Linyi or Guangdong, there are also mountains and forests that are no less than ours, and those places also have a large number of mountain people, and these mountain people can easily adapt to such jungle terrain."

"The most important thing is, what if we retreat to the mountains and forests, and the other party does not entangle with us, and goes straight to our national capital? Are we going to give up the national capital? Another general, who was about the same age, shook his head.

"Two, isn't it possible that we don't have a chance?" The prime minister who spoke earlier asked.

"Yes, our chance is how determined Datang is." The old general, who spoke later, said lightly, "Of course, if Your Majesty is determined to fight, the old minister is willing to lead the troops." ”

Looking at the different expressions on the faces of these ministers, Ben Lishetai was a little weak, "General Afei, please gather the national army as quickly as possible, we are going to talk, but the army that should be assembled must also be assembled." Ben Lishetai sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Who wants to send an envoy to the port this time to talk to the generals of the Tang Dynasty?" Ben Lishetai asked.

"Go ahead." The right minister, who had just stood up, spoke.

"Then it's going to be a problem."

At the time of the meeting here in the Queen's Kingdom, thousands of miles north of the Queen's Kingdom, the army led by Hou Junji had broken through to the vicinity of the main gathering place of Mangbu, but at this moment, there were only 10,000 soldiers left with Hou Junji, and the remaining 10,000 troops were led by Zhang Liang to take the Wangbu.

Hou Junji's vanguard had already come into contact with a large tribe in Mangbu, but the so-called large tribe was only less than 3,000 people.

And dozens of miles away, where the main headquarters of Mangbu is located, Mangchai, the leader of Mangbu, stood up with a shocked face: "What did you say?" The army of the Tang Dynasty is coming? ”

"Yes, Chief, the army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived in the area where Songbe is located."

"Is Datang crazy? But he just killed the mountain people of several of their tribes. "Mangchai was stunned, they really killed people! But Mangchai only knew about the person who killed Datang after killing someone, but he didn't care at all.

Because of this land, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, all generations belonged to their mountain people, and outsiders couldn't enter at all!
