Chapter 204: The Fall of Xiahou Mansion

"The eastern border has lost three states in a row, once Dongli breaks through the defense of Qingxian, then the eastern part will not be able to keep it!"

"My lord, we know the situation in the East very well. Not to mention that the army of the Dongli faction is not ordinary people at all, even if it is a mortal, Nanguan will not be able to allocate manpower to support. ”

"There are 100,000 people in Nanguan, how can they not send people?"

"My lord, you don't know the danger of this Nanguan when you are not at the border pass. The eight countries outside the border have been allied, and they are eyeing the southern border, and they may send troops at any time. If we rashly transfer troops to the eastern border at this moment, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to suppress our southern border! Once Nanguan is forced, the defenders of the first ten states will not be able to hold it at all. Moreover, there are not many Xuanmen in the south, and there are not even a few people who know spells. The situation will only be worse than it is now in the East. ”

"Don't talk about it. But the garrison of the ten states also needs 20,000 or 30,000 people, how can it not be stopped?"

"My lord, who are those thirty or forty thousand? ”

"What? Didn't the post of bounty recruitment be approved last year and say that it was agreed? How can you still recruit such people?"

"My lord, now that the whole people are cultivating, any little Taoist priest, as long as he goes out to kill a little demon and a little monster and gets a little fame, someone will eat and drink and ask him to do it. Some people don't even know anything, they just read the history of the Xuanmen, what magic and sword theory, and go out to play tricks and pretend to be able to swagger and cheat and fool money.

Joining the army is much more difficult than this. Not to mention getting ahead and being crowned a marquis, how many people have earned half of their merits and lost their lives, and there is no hope for their wives and children behind them.

In contrast, who do you say is willing to work for the border guards? Who still values our military salary?

Most of the officers and soldiers in the ten southern states were asked to retire by various factions. They didn't want to go back to their hometown to farm and be exposed to the sun and rain, so they were recruited into the camp. We can't help it, some people are better than no one, and people can still retain a few loyal people when they come to teach.

But most of them still want to learn some swordsmanship, guns, and swordsmanship, and in the future, they will recommend themselves to various sects. You want them to go to war? It's good not to be deserters. ”

"It's really unreasonable! I know how to cultivate those inexplicable things all the time. It's so powerful, why don't you see them form a team to fight against those demons and monsters in Dongli! A group of cowards!"

"My lord, didn't the Azure Realm and the Immortal Terrace send people?"

"What's the use of them sending people! Open your mouth and close your mouth is that people in the same way should not kill each other, and if you block Dongli, it's over! This is a war, a war! It's a fatal thing for people to put knives on their necks! If you can't kill them cleanly and give them a wake-up call, the old man of Nangong is not easy to bully us, and don't think about a peaceful day in the future!"

"But my lord, Dongjing and Dongli have always had business dealings, and it is not okay to kill them too hard. At present, 50% of the food in the east is imported from the east...... If you kill too hard, then do you retreat...... We don't have enough farming right now. ”

"If you don't have enough, you will pull people back from the mountains for me to reclaim the land!"

"My lord, it's not that there is no land, it's that there is no grain grown in this field. And this thing...... Promote Taoism and immortal arts...... This is the state policy set by His Majesty...... What we say here is reasonable...... That won't help, you'll have to hand over the fold. ”

"You didn't hand it over to me, is it useful? Your Majesty just said, everything is difficult at the beginning!"

"Have you tried to ask Master Taifu to speak?"

"Do you think that our majesty treats the Taifu as the Taifu? He just wants to give him a nice name on the surname Xiahou! If you want to say that there are so many disciples in Xiahou's Mansion, in the end they still go with the flow, how can this teacher become! This group of civil officials can't even lobby! And the imperial concubine, the gossip confuses the public!"

"Hey, my lord, why don't you transfer the army of the Marquis of Xiguan? Huangfu has always been strong, and he is a foreigner, even if he kills ruthlessly and offends King Nangong, it can be said that Huangfu himself has not grasped the proportion. We can also take this opportunity to suppress and suppress the arrogance of the emperor. Maybe King Nangong will be angry, and he will send troops to various small countries in the west, and he won't be able to rely on his Huangfu clan when the time comes. ”

"Are you stupid, Dongli has to bypass half of the Central Plains when he goes to the west, and he Nangong King eats bear bile, dare to fight like this? I'm afraid you don't want to annex the Central Plains and then go out of Xiguan." ”

"My lord, I think it is feasible to transfer the people of Xiguan Hou. The northwest area is headed by the Marquis of Xiguan, and it is the closest from Beiguan to the east. ”

"I also know that Beiguan is near, but in this way, wouldn't the forces of the Marquis of Xiguan cover half of the border defense line from west to east? No matter how powerful the Huangfu clan is, it is also a foreign race, and it is a foreign race! Now the Huangfu concubine is in the palace and the scenery is infinite, if you really let the Huangfu make meritorious service again, this Central Plains is simply surnamed Huangfu!"

"My lord, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, my lord, even if the emperor is a foreigner, he is nominally from our Central Plains. The top priority was to drive the Dongli army out of the eastern border first. Wait for the eastern border to settle down, and then think about how to deal with the emperor. ”

"You have to get it, you just hand it over like this, and see if the military department will agree. Ay...... What kind of world is this......

When Alyu was half-asleep and half-awake, all he heard was such a conversation. After that sigh, Ah Lu slowly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw a person.

Are your eyes good?

But it didn't take long for Ah Lu to realize that something was wrong.

Who is this? Ah Lu looked up and down, and found that this person was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the Dan furnace in a gorgeous costume. Is he a Taoist priest?

At this time, she heard an old man's voice coming from her throat: "Your Majesty! If this continues, the eastern border will be lost! The Dongli Nangong clan has coveted the Central Plains for many years, and he will not only have one from the eastern realm!"

The man seemed to have been bothered by the old man for a long time, and he slowly turned to the old man impatiently and said, "Master Taifu, you are really too worried. ”

When Ah Lu looked at this man's face, my God, this man had a dull look, and his face was abnormally ruddy, as if he was drunk.

However, I call him Your Majesty...... He called himself Taifu? Could it be that this was the old emperor in Xiahou Taifu's mouth? Xuanning's father? Could it be that he was now in Xiahou Taifu's body? What he saw and heard was his past?

The old emperor summoned a little eunuch to help him up: "Teacher, sir! Dongli is not a regular army, but only a few thousand aliens, which shows that they don't really want to seize our Central Plains territory." ”

Ah? Is this old emperor old and confused, or has he eaten too much wine? Is he still divided into ethnic groups when he fights? Attacking the border passes of other countries, and still wants to invade the territory?

Sure enough, Xiahou Taifu also said excitedly: "Your Majesty, thousands of people, whether they are foreign races or not, have already taken our three states." ”

Old Emperor: "They are not doing this for the territory, I am afraid that they want the seeds and planting methods of our Qi Ye roots." ”

Xiahou Taifu didn't say anything when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, Qi Yegen...... Is it necessary for Qi Yegen? Is it necessary to go to war with neighboring countries for Qi Yegen? Wake up!"

"I'm very sober!" The old emperor's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes bulged out of his sockets, and Ah Lu's heart tightened, "Qi Yegen is not necessary, with Qi Yegen, he can live forever." Do you think he wants to fight?"

Seeing the old emperor's strange tone when he said this, and his expression was almost crazy, he was not drunk, but more like poisoning.

Old Emperor: "Lord Taifu, I have already discussed with the Ministry of War and the ministers. King Nangong violated the armistice agreement of the five countries by sending troops, and he ignored it. We'll let him be arrogant for another three days. Three days later, he gave him the seeds of Qi Ye Root. Anyway...... Anyway, even if his Dongli land is watered with divine water, it can't grow Qi Ye roots. Sooner or later, he's going to have to die of old age!hahahaha. ”

"Your Majesty, even if the armistice agreement is violated, it will only be punished by the population, what can a mere spit star do? What's more, he is a foreign race, and at that time, he can avoid responsibility by passing the buck casually.

And you are only thinking about Qi Yegen and thinking about immortality...... With all due respect, what is the difference between your attitude and those faint monarchs in the Central Plains!" "This time, not only Xiahou Taifu, but even Ah Lu himself felt that this old emperor was mediocre.

But the old emperor was even more excited than Xiahou Taifu. He suddenly approached Ah Lu's eyes and whispered, "Xiahou Yun! Pay attention to your wording! Don't think that if you are a Taifu, you can be a teacher for one day and a father for life."

When I succeeded to the throne when I was young, you thought about controlling the government, and now you are still thinking about that? Do you think I don't know that you colluded with those old clans to restrain me, huh?

The entire border defense is either the emperor or your person, do you think I don't know what you are calculating?

The monks I trained have already blocked the Dongli army from Qingxian, and Dongli has agreed to negotiate peace. You still want to fight. What are you fighting? Ah? Fight your Xiahou family's rivers and mountains? You have the ability to be a regent, why don't you just usurp the throne?"

When the old emperor said this, Ah Lu's chest suddenly felt a force, and then he fell to the ground again. She rubbed her ass in pain. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she could ...... Can see people...... A whole square of people, a square of soldiers. And the first soldier faced the brightly lit palace hall.

Xiahou Mansion is going to rebel?
