Chapter 618: The Only Choice

The hall of the government seemed to be filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Xi's angry rebuke made Cui Zhang and Zheng Haoju both look pale, as if they were about to scold.

However, Cui Zhang still had a trace of sobriety in his mind, and in front of the overall situation, he calmed down and said to Wang Xi: "Wang Shilang, don't forget what we are doing in Qingzhou today?" ”

Wang Xi woke up suddenly, and only then did he react to Xiao Ming's provocation, and now King Zhao entered Beijing to order the world, and the two of them took the opportunity to seize the royal state and county The matter is the direct contradiction between the three families, because King Zhao once issued an edict to reprimand the two for rebellion and let them hand over the city.

The two of them naturally didn't agree, King Zhao took advantage of so much, and they didn't want to suffer either.

The three of them calmed down, and looked at Xiao Ming at the same time, in fact, they had only one purpose to restrain Xiao Ming, that is, Xiao Ming was royal, if it was replaced by King Wei and captured Qidi, they would also have to send troops.

Now that Xiao Ming's words have forced them into a corner, Cui Zhang completely tore off his disguise, and he said: "Your Highness, the three of us came to Qingzhou today not to discuss with Your Highness, but to inform Your Highness that if Your Highness does not hand over the thirteen states of Weidi, we will definitely join forces to fight against Your Highness." ”

"In that case, this king is waiting for you under the city of Yunzhou!" Xiao Ming's tone is also very tough, he knows very well that he and the three families will end up in an endless end, and the king with a different surname will eventually completely exterminate the royal family.

If he handed over the thirteen states of Weidi, he would only perish faster.

Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao's hearts trembled, at this time Xiao Ming's face was firm, and there was a non-negotiable color in his eyes, for Cui Zhang, the situation he hoped most was of course that Xiao Ming took the initiative to hand over the thirteen states, but now it seems that this is impossible.

Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang glanced at each other at this time, these three families were really a little too arrogant today, they were no longer discussing, but directly forcing them to give up the Wei land they had seized.

Don't say that Xiao Ming won't agree to this matter, even the soldiers who fought bloodily won't agree, how can the territory they shed blood and tears give up.

Xiao Ming's tough attitude made the three fall silent.

Before they met Xiao Ming, they were confident that they could make Xiao Ming give in, but now it seemed that this was impossible.

If so, they are left with one last option.

"Your Highness, in that case, we are retiring." Cui Zhang stood up first and walked out.

Then Wang Xi and Zheng Hao also got up and left.

After the three of them left, Zhan Xingchang said: "Your Highness, this matter has long been impossible to talk about, when we tore up the truce contract, we knew that there would be such a day, and even if there was no truce contract, the three of them would raise troops to crusade against us, and now the only thing we need to worry about is whether the barbarians will participate." ”

Xiao Ming frowned, and he said slowly: "The current situation in the north can only be broken through a war, whether it is the three kings who make the first move or we do it first, in fact, the result is the same." ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true, so it is useless to say more, and now we can only face this crisis." Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Ming still had a glimmer of hope when he came today, but Cui Zhang's words completely woke him up, the focus of what he said was not a truce contract, but the thirteen states of Weidi, which was his purpose.

Pang Yukun nodded, when he mentioned this matter to Xiao Ming yesterday, he had no hope for this discussion, and today Cui Zhang and the three of them sat together without a discussion.

Now he finally understood why Xiao Ming asked him to delay as much time as possible, but in this way, he couldn't use normal means to delay the return of the three of them.

So he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, the three of you will inevitably return to the country at this time, but the weapons we sent to Shu will take time, and the lower officials are ready to ban outsiders from leaving the city with the public opinion of arresting thieves, what does Your Highness think?" ”

"Well, this is a good solution, the three of them will inevitably jump to their feet." Xiao Ming smiled when he heard this, Pang Yukun is getting darker and darker.

Zhan Xingchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, the two countries are at war without slashing, and they can only do this to deal with these three people, but thinking of one thing, he said: "Your Highness, the King of Shu is the younger brother of the three princes with the same father and mother, and the King of Shu has been loyal to the King of Chu, at this time the King of Shu is in trouble, the King of Chu must be equally anxious, His Royal Highness should inform the King of Chu, so that the King of Chu only needs to help the King of Shu drag the King of Zhao, and he can deal with the King of Yan and the King of Liang with ease." ”

"This king has this intention, you have to go on a trip to this matter, the king of Chu learned that the three families are going to raise troops to attack me, and he will inevitably send troops to Shu, after all, in the eyes of the king of Chu, the entire south is his back garden, and he will not allow King Zhao to take a piece of the pie."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhan Xingchang nodded.

After deciding on this matter, Zhan Xingchang went back and prepared to send an envoy to Chu to let the king of Chu send troops to Shu, and he asked Pang Yukun to continue to prepare for the aid to the king of Shu.

After explaining these two things, Xiao Ming went to the palace.

This time he categorically rejected Cui Zhang's request, and a northern war was inevitable.

It's not that he doesn't understand the art of compromise, but he was also forced into a corner, even if he handed over Wei Di within three years, they would also crusade against him together, as the so-called Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War, and now the situation in Dayu will also not have a just war.

Strength will ultimately determine everything.

It is with this in mind that he will take the thirteen states of Wei, now that he has grain and grass and a population, and he has firearms, the tactics of the sea of people are no longer so terrible to him, and now with the addition of Wei, the population of the feudal country has basically reached six or seven million people.

Weijia Restaurant.

Cui Zhang and the three of them have returned here after coming out of the mansion, and this time all three of them have heavy faces. There is no such thing as the first domineering.

went upstairs, and the three of them tacitly arrived in Cui Zhang's room, hesitated, and Cui Zhang said: "When I mentioned that the army came to fight, Xiao Ming was so fearless, this is really surprising. ”

"Maybe you think Xiao Ming is too simple, when Xiao Ming only had 20,000 people under his command, he dared to fight against more than 100,000 barbarians in Cangzhou and Jizhou, how could he be afraid of us today." Wang Xi said lightly.

Zheng Hao also had the same worries, when Xiao Ming didn't make a strong statement, they all firmly believed that Xiao Ming would be afraid, because the first time Xiao Ming signed a truce contract under their threat, they would not have thought that Xiao Ming was just planning at that time.

"Xiao Ming will die in our hands sooner or later, it is better to kill him while he is still fledgling than when he completely annexes Wei Di into the feudal state, this time we should work together, it is bound to kill Xiao Ming, so that there will be no royal people who can compete with us in this Great Yu Kingdom."
