Strength does not mean courage, and courage does not mean ability.

This sentence is undoubtedly revealed in the Later Jin Dynasty's handling of the Son of Heaven.

The Later Jin Dynasty was even more desperate than Wu Yue and Qi Guo.

When Wang Tuo, the king of Jin, learned that Ji Hao and the Manchu ministers fled to the border, he didn't think about it, and immediately ordered the border to be closed, and no matter who it was, no one was allowed to enter or leave.

When Ji Hao and the others fled to the border of the Jin Kingdom, and saw the tightly closed city gate and the heavily guarded Later Jin army, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was also shattered.

They fled north from the Daimyo's Mansion, passed through Wu Yue and Qi Kingdom, and came to the border of Qi and Jin.

In the face of closed doors again and again, there is no despair this time......

I thought that the Later Jin Dynasty would be different from others, and there was some blood of northern men.

I thought that Wang Tuo, the king of Jin, was different from other princes and kings, although he was a stuffy gourd, he was loyal and patriotic.

But now it seems that he is the most ruthless......

Now Ji Hao and the others have fallen to the extreme.

There are more than 1,000 people from Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao to the ministers and their families, and more than 2,000 palace guards accompanying them, a total of more than 3,000 people.

But all the way I was running for my life, I didn't find a place to rest, not to mention, I didn't even have a time to eat peacefully.

And the food they brought out of the palace has long been eaten.

Even Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao hadn't eaten for two days.

Now without food and water, they can hold out for three days at most.

After three days, if there is no way to change it, let alone wait for the combined forces of Western Chu and Eastern Min to chase and kill, they themselves will have to starve to death.

There is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind, what else can I do at this time?

Ji Hao looked at the ministers around him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Everyone, Aiqing, I ...... Where else can I go now?"

“......”

No one answered, and the ministers all hung their heads, all of them full of sadness and despair.

Where else can they go?

Now in front of them, it seems that there is only a dead end......

Of course, the last thing in the world is people who are not afraid of death.

Especially Ye Guo, they have a group of people who are not afraid of death.

When King Ye Zhao Kuan received Chu Yujia's letter, he also understood Chu Yujia's meaning on the spot.

Zhao Kuan almost didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses in the palace, handed over all the affairs of the royal court to Taifu Li Puyi, and then took 5,000 palace guards and rushed towards Huling Pass.

Zhao Kuan and the others traveled quickly, and Chu Yujia and his party on the other side were even more so.

And not only Chu Yujia, but the entire Northwest Army was in action, and along the way, you could see the carriages of the Northwest Army transporting grain and grass and the teams pulling supplies and baggage.

In this regard, Zhao Kuan couldn't help but sigh, he had Chu Yujia's brother, which was definitely a blessing for three lives, and it was also a blessing for Ye Guo.

Of course, Chu Yujia can have a brother like Zhao Kuan, which is naturally a blessing.

If it weren't for Zhao Kuan's trust, Chu Yujia would not have the achievements he has today, let alone the freedom to do whatever he wants.

The four battalions of the Northwest Army entered Shu and the Daimyo's Mansion respectively, while Chu Yujia himself took Qi Chong, Yan Ju, Sheng Guang and Modao Heavy Armor to arrive at Huling Pass overnight.

It was also here that Chu Yujia and Zhao Kuan, the two monarchs and ministers, officially converged.

Nowadays, the military movements of the Ye State are naturally also seen by the vassal states.

If no one is next to the Northwest Army to advance eastward, the Ye army has also gathered on the eastern border, which is to accept Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang and build an eastern defense line to resist the Western Chu and Eastern Min coalition forces.

That night, taking advantage of the free time of the break, Zhao Kuan found Chu Yujia and sent away all the entourages on the left and right, and then he said with a straight face: "Yujia, are you really ready to accept Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao into Ye Kingdom?"

"With the Son of Heaven in my country, we can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"At that time, our country will receive the courtiers of all countries, and without any reason or excuse, we can send troops to whomever we want. ”

"Because my Yeguo army is a righteous army, no matter who I fight, it is to suppress rebellion and sweep away rebellion. ”

"And if other countries want to attack our country, they are rebels, they are great rebels, and they are guilty of the following. ”

"In the hearts of the people, my country will always stand at the highest point. ”

Chu Yujia nodded heavily, and said, "This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Ye Kingdom, if I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that Ye Kingdom will have to wait for twenty or even two hundred years before it can rise." ”

Zhao Kuan looked at Chu Yujia and said, "But once the Son of Heaven enters Ye, then we will all be courtiers." ”

"No, it won't. ”

Chu Yujia said firmly: "There will always be only one ruler of the Ye Kingdom, there is the Zhao family over there, no matter who comes, this cannot be changed, even if the Son of Heaven arrives in the Ye Kingdom, it is only the title of the emperor who controls the oil, and the government and military affairs are still in the hands of the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Kuan narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "You have to think about it carefully, once you do this, we and even the entire Ye Kingdom will have no way to turn back." ”

"It's you, not me, that needs to be considered. ”

Chu Yujia smiled and said: "After all, this Ye country is yours, and I, as your courtier, can only give you advice, and now I, a courtier, think that the Son of Heaven has fled, and it will be of great benefit to our country to welcome the Son of Heaven, so I propose it like this, if the king feels that this matter is harmful to our country, then Yujia will withdraw the army immediately." ”

"But have you ever thought about the consequences of once my Daye accepts Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao?"

Zhao Kuan put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and said, "It is likely to be attacked by the combined armies of Western Chu and Eastern Min." ”

"What if you are the enemy of the world?"

The corners of Chu Yujia's mouth were high, and he followed Zhao Kuan's gaze to the distant sky, and said: "To say something rebellious, what I think is that everyone in the world is the enemy of my Ye country, and only then can my Ye country fight whoever it wants, and it will not be as restrained as today." ”

"Yu Jia also has this self-confidence, and leads the Northwest Army to lay a big country for Xiao Kuanzi!"

Looking at Chu Yujia, Zhao Kuan shook his head with a smile, paused for a moment, and said slowly: "As a friend, what you want to do, I will definitely support you, as a brother, if you want to break your bones, I must walk with you." ”

This sentence made Chu Yujia extremely moved, and he didn't say anything more, just slowly turned his head away......

Brothers are brothers, needless to say.

A friend is a friend, see you in the matter.

If the monarch can be like Zhao Kuan and Chu Yujia, it will be a success.

If the monarchs of the world can trust their courtiers like this, and the ministers can think about the monarch wholeheartedly, then how can there be chaos in this world?

It's just that such a situation is naturally uncommon, and there is only one such pair of monarchs and ministers in the world.

And this pair of monarchs and ministers are in the Ye country, if the Ye country is not prosperous, who will prosper?
