"I think that my Great Zhou does not have the national strength to start a full-scale war with the Southern Liang......"

The right servant arched his hand towards Emperor Zhou, and said: "Northern Qi has become more and more low-key, and Emperor Qi is even more old, leaving only the crown prince Gao Yi alone, and now he has not officially ascended the throne and called the emperor, which shows that the crown prince Gao Yi does not have that ability at present." Northern Qi has barely protected itself, even if he marries them, I'm afraid he won't be able to save our Da Zhou. ”

When Shang Shuling heard this, he couldn't help but say with disdain: "Lord Shot, don't you mean to surrender without a fight and take the initiative to sue for peace?"

The right servant frowned slightly, and asked, "Lord Shang Shuling, in your opinion, if my Great Zhou starts a war with Nanliang, what are the odds?"

"......" Shang Shuling frowned and was silent.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that with their Great Zhou's national strength, it was still very difficult to deal with the entire Southern Liang.

"What if you add the Southern Song Dynasty and Nan Chen?" the right servant asked.

"......" Shang Shuling's brows furrowed even tighter.

The South and the DPRK are united, and once one side goes to war, there will definitely be assistance from the other two. Looking at the entire Northern Dynasties, internal and external troubles, mutual suspicion, I am afraid that when the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into war, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty would only sit on the tiger and watch the mountain, even if they sent troops to help on the surface, they could not be completely trusted.

Who can guarantee that the Northern Wei and Northern Qi will secretly make small moves and take the opportunity to annex the Great Zhou faster than the Southern Liang?

After that, how Qi and Wei competed with the Southern Dynasties had nothing to do with the Great Zhou, because they had withdrawn from the north-south pattern.

Seeing that Shang Shuling was silent, the right servant said with emotion: "It's not that I don't dare to fight, but I can't fight...... Unless I achieve a great victory in the Great Zhou, I will be intimidated by Chen, Song, Qi and Wei. Otherwise, even if the Liang soldiers are expelled, they will usher in the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even have the Northern Dynasty's own people attacking, thus shaking the foundation of my Great Zhou, it is better to sue for peace with the Southern Liang now. ”

"Do you want to make peace if you don't fight?"

Emperor Zhou was very hesitant, there were too many things involved, after the declaration of war, it was just suspicion that the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi would make small moves, but if the family affairs that were set suddenly repented, then the Northern Qi would definitely not give up, and there would definitely be action.

It doesn't work to make peace, and it doesn't work to fight, Emperor Zhou seems to have aged a lot in an instant, and he really feels a little powerless.

At this moment, he subconsciously turned to the crown prince Yu Wenxin, who was sitting and listening, and saw that he didn't seem to care about the discussions of the ministers in the palace at all, but was talking to the old inner eunuch.

Emperor Zhou frowned, as the prince of the Great Zhou, he was so casual in the face of state affairs, it really made him feel cold, could it be that the Great Zhou was really going to die?

"Xin'er, do you have any unique opinions?" Emperor Zhou couldn't help but ask out loud, he didn't expect Yu Wenxin to say anything that could be solved, just to make him understand that he, as the prince, the future new Emperor Zhou, everything must be based on the country.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent, and the ministers of the court turned their heads to look at Su Yang, the prince who was listening.

Su Yang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Emperor Zhou to suddenly name him.

When he silently listened to the ministers in the palace discussing countermeasures, he couldn't help but pout and shake his head, he couldn't imagine that it was clear that Nanliang had begun to invade, but these ministers of the court and the central government, they still wanted to sue for peace.

Yes, it is undeniable that the current national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed inferior to that of the Southern Liang, once it is caught in the war between Zhou and Liang, it is very likely to attract the covetousness of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is tantamount to finally driving away the tiger in the front yard, but a wolf in the backyard.

Rather than that, it would be better to discuss with the tiger and give him a piece of meat to send him away, so as to save strength to prevent the wolves in the backyard from pounce.

It is not wrong to think this way, but Su Yang regrets that it is precisely because everyone in the Northern Dynasty thinks so that in this chaos between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he is at an absolute disadvantage, lacks the most basic trust between people, and will eventually perish.

Su Yang vaguely remembered that when the Southern Song Dynasty invaded the Great Qi Dynasty, Emperor Gao Wei of Qi also had this concern, and what he was worried about was not whether the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty would make small moves, but that the Northern Dynasties were not united and could not share the same hatred.

With the strength of one country alone, it is naturally impossible to compete with the entire Southern Dynasties, and defeat is only a matter of time.

But if Qi, Wei, and Zhou were united, they would not necessarily lose to the Southern Dynasties.

To make peace with Nanliang, it is better to be honest with your own people and discuss it properly.

After all, once the Southern Dynasty invaded the Northern Dynasty, no side would be spared, and only by working together could it gain a firm foothold in the troubled times.

It is precisely because of mutual distrust and mutual suspicion that none of them think that they can not only drive away the tigers in the front yard, but also force the wolves in the backyard not to rush in.

To put it simply, these courtiers lacked blood.

Although this is the truth, it is easy to explain, but Su Yang feels that Nanliang is in the realm, and there is something strange.

Between countries, of course, there will be the existence of meticulous work, and you can detect any disturbances of the enemy at the first time. But the distance between the Northern and Southern Dynasties was too far, and because of Su Yang, the entire Great Zhou was under martial law by Ran Ruozong and the people of the army, if it were not for the holy decree, no matter who it was, it would be impossible to get out of the Great Zhou or enter the Great Zhou.

In this case, the news of the fine work cannot be transmitted, although the Skyclave Book can transmit thousands of miles, but it does not mean that it can cross thousands of miles, or even hundreds of thousands of miles.

This is not counting that the Skyclave Book only exists in Daqi, even if the Great Zhou also has the Skyclave Book that has been sold, it will not be so coincidental that it will be held in the hands of other countries.

Under various circumstances, Xuanzhenmen, Wanyou Mansion, and Yulin Palace were destroyed, and even Emperor Zhou was poisoned, and the princes died one by one, these things that happened in less than half a year cannot even be known to everyone in the Three Kingdoms of the Northern Dynasties, let alone the people of the Southern Dynasties.

In this situation, it is even more unlikely that Nanliang will suddenly violate the border.

You must know that the armies of the Southern Liang and Southern Song Dynasty lingered on the border of the Northern Dynasties for more than a year, and they only wandered around and did not act rashly.

It is because they do not understand the situation in the territory of the Northern Dynasties, and they are afraid that once a war is launched, there will be an unexpected situation that will go uncontrolled.

Su Yang even doubted that the news of Nanliang's invasion of the border was true?

Therefore, he specially chatted with the old inner prisoner next to him, just to inquire about the situation of this Nanliang offense.

He already had an idea in his heart now, so even if Emperor Zhou didn't call him, he would find an opportunity to interject.

"I don't know what the results of the ministers' deliberations were?" Su Yang asked as he avoided Emperor Zhou's gaze, looked around, and pretended to be puzzled.

Emperor Zhou frowned, glanced at the book Ling and the right servant, although the latter were a little confused in their hearts, they still understood Emperor Zhou's eyes, and explained to Su Yang again in a low voice.

"I see. Su Yang nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Let my father break his trust and make peace, cut the land, pay compensation, and sue for peace, right?"

The faces of the ministers of the court and the central government looked a little strange, although he was indeed the case, but it was too bad to say it like this.
