After a few years of the full moon banquet of the six princes, Dacheng once again officially proposed to Mobei Rouran to fulfill the promise made at the banquet that year.

Rou Ran avoided talking about it on the grounds that she didn't know about it, Dacheng didn't have no promise to Rou Ran in the past few years, and every time she mentioned Rou Ran, she either avoided it or pretended to be deaf and dumb.

During this period, from time to time, the Rouran people in the border towns between the two countries would cross the border to snatch daily necessities such as food for civilians, and even forcibly robbed the daughters of good families and plundered the grasslands to serve as slaves. Dacheng and Rouran repeatedly negotiated, but force, negotiation and other means were ineffective.

"Damn...... The barbarians of Mobei Rouran deceived people too much! In just one month, there were no less than dozens of these things happening in border towns. Your Majesty, we can't let those people do anything wrong!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Prime Minister Han Cheng is right, Rou Ran is so reckless and reckless that we can't be indifferent!"

"General Jin and Prime Minister Han Cheng, don't you two know what you two are talking about? Most of the daily reports of the Zhongqing family are about Rouran's invasion ......of our borders and wanton burning, killing, and looting."

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the troops there. Stationed in the border town, so that Na Rouran did not dare to invade and plunder in the south. ”

As he spoke, General Jin clenched his fists and asked the emperor, and the emperor clenched the dragon chair slightly with one hand.

"General Jin is loyal to the monarch and patriotic courage is commendable, and now although he invades the border and invades the frontier, it has not reached the point where the general said, and he has to send a large army to it. ”

When the emperor heard Dong Shangshu's words in the court, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Oh, what did Aiqing say?"

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen said carefully. General Jin sent troops to garrison the border towns to drive away the Rouran barbarians, and also reduced local disputes to a certain extent. But don't forget that there is more than one border between our dynasty and Rouran, and the entire northern defense line is also a place bordering on them! ”

"Then what does Dong Shangshu mean to let us turn a blind eye and let ourselves go?"

"Hey, General Jin. That can't be said, if you let yourself go now, won't it be too long for others to be arrogant?"

"Heh, Dong Shangshu is an understanding person. Neither advance nor retreat, it seems that we are really helpless with this Rouran?" Speaking of this, General Jin raised his head and stared closely at Dong Shangshu who was standing beside him.

"General Jin, I think you have misunderstood. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, even if there are some things that Dong said are inappropriate, you don't have to be so aggressive, right?"

"Lord Dong, how can this be called aggressive? General Jin is quick to speak, and he was born in the army, so you should be more responsible. ”

Seeing that the two were talking to each other, full of the smell of gunsmoke, Prime Minister Han stepped forward and rushed before General Jin spoke.

"Okay, I will take what the three Aiqing say. As for whether to send troops to garrison the border towns, we will discuss it later. Second prince, stay after the dispersal of the dynasty, I have something to discuss with you. ”

The second prince, Yuan Huang, heard his father's words and bowed his head and promised.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the second prince came to the study early to wait for the emperor. At this time, the emperor came in through the main gate, and his father-in-law was waiting outside the door.

"When he was in the last dynasty, what Prime Minister Han Cheng, General Jin and Dong Shangshu said was very reasonable. But there is one thing that they may have overlooked......"

"What?"

"Mobei Rouran has never taken us Dacheng seriously, it is such an arrogant psychology that they will repeatedly violate our borders. ”

"Go on. ”

"Father, do you still remember that in the past few years, we kept asking Mobei Rouran to let them fulfill their promises at the full moon banquet at that time?"

Of course I remember, Rou Ran put it off again and again, making excuses every time, and I still remember those scenes vividly. ”

"In front of everyone, they don't honor the boasted Haikou, let alone violate the border. ”

"Brother Yuan, this time Rouran invaded the border town, I allow you to immediately send elite soldiers to drive them away, if necessary, you can cut them first. After speaking, I saw the emperor take off the Fulong jade pendant he was carrying around his waist and hand it to him. The second prince looked at the jade pendant lying in his palm, and gradually held it.

The dark tide is surging in the court, but the junction of thousands of miles away in the capital is also unpeaceful.

The six princes, who were recuperating in Zhiyang Mountain, took advantage of the master's absence and secretly went down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, she saw the border town after the invasion of Rouran, and the survivors there looked sad. When he met the old woman lying on the side of the road, he walked to her side, squatted down and found that the old woman had suffered a serious knife wound and was in danger. Just when Li Sishen was about to call someone to help treat her, the old woman took her hand.

"What's wrong with you, old woman, what's going on here?"

"Kid, get out of here...... Soft them...... Just invaded the town. I'm afraid I'll be back...... Kids, go fast...... You can't stay here for long......," the old woman bothered herself, and after she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell into her arms.

When Li Sishen saw this scene, he felt deeply remorseful and angry. How many people have been displaced and how many families have been torn apart because of the war. The wounds inflicted on them are irreparable, and those who provoked the war ...... The most hateful. Thinking of this, she lowered her head and clenched her fists, resisted the impulse in her bones, and buried the old woman's body thinly. She returned to the mountain with the blood stains on the old woman's body, and the Pingyuan master was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to ask when he saw the blood stains on her body. When he learned that it was not herself, Pingyuan was secretly relieved, but he noticed that Si Shen was silent and depressed, so he took her hand and went to change his clothes first. After changing his clothes, Si Shen said what happened to him at the bottom of the mountain just now. Pingyuan Gao knew that the prosperous world was no longer peaceful, and also warned her not to worry about these things for the time being, and to take care of her body. Although Si Shen agreed, whenever he recalled the scene of the old woman lying in her arms, he always felt that it was difficult to calm down the restlessness in his heart.

After another period of time, Dacheng's letter of state to Rouran was also responded. Rouran proposed that Dacheng send a prince to negotiate, and the place of negotiation was not at the junction of the two countries, but in Rouran. Hearing Rouran's request, Dacheng set off a discussion both inward and outward. Many people think that it is too dangerous to negotiate softly, like entering the land of jackals, tigers and leopards. In the end, Emperor Dacheng agreed to Rouran's unreasonable request and sent the four princes to negotiate.
