Everyone in the hall was just arguing with each other at first, but in the end, both sides got angry, and many people started arguing loudly and fiercely. Prince Ji Ge of Chengzhou State strode up to Zhan Bai and roared loudly:

: "Zhan Bai, bring my army, I want to go back to save my father."

Zhan Bai frowned and persuaded: "Brother Ji, you have to calm down. You can't solve any problems by acting recklessly."

Ji Ge laughed twice, and then looked coldly at Zhan Bai: "My kingdom is in danger. My father, queen, mother, brothers and sisters are alive and dead. My people are being killed. You actually asked me to calm down. How can I be calm?

Come down?"

Ji Ge lost some understanding, pointed at Zhan Bai, and roared loudly at the last sentence.

Zhan Bai's face turned cold: "Brother Ji, pay attention to the attitude of your words."

Ji Ge smiled coldly: "Don't show off to me here. Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. If you make me anxious, the worst we can do is break up, and no one will have an easy time."

Others don't know the details of Zhan Bai, but Ji Ge knows it very well. Although Zhan Bai is very majestic, in fact, it is just on the surface. Without the strong support of the top leaders of various countries in the Western Region, Zhan Bai is nothing.

What great things can the people at the bottom accomplish by working hard?

"you...."

Zhan Bai stood up and was about to have an attack.

Du Zhongbo stood up quickly and stood between the two of them, persuading him nicely: "We are all our own people, why should we be so angry? Moreover, now is the time when a powerful enemy is facing us. Internal strife can only give others an advantage. The two adults have tens of millions of dollars."

Don't be impulsive."

Du Zhongbo persuaded Zhan Bai to calm down a little. He looked at Ji Ge coldly and said in a deep voice: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Ji Ge said coldly: "I will lead my country's troops to leave and take back Xingcheng. Whether you agree or disagree, I will do it. No one can stop me."

After that, Ji Ge turned around and left. With a wave of his hand, he became a few generals of the Zhou Kingdom. He looked at Zhan Bai, hesitated for a while, and finally got up and left with Ji Ge. They admired Zhan Bai's talent and strategy very much.

But when their country is being ravaged by enemies, they cannot just sit back and watch.

Zhan Bai wanted to stop him, but was held back by Du Zhongbo, who shook his head: "Forget it, let him go."

Zhan Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Ge is brave and foolhardy. He is no match for the Jin army."

The Jin army used only a thousand men as a small force to successfully attack Xingcheng, and a series of subsequent actions. Zhan Bai could guess that the generals of this army were by no means ordinary people. Ji Ge was not capable.

, it is very possible that he never came back and lost his life in vain.

Du Zhongbo knew what Zhan Bai was worried about. He was not worried about Ji Ge. He didn't care about Ji Ge's life or death. What he cared about was the 15,000 Zhou army in his hands. This army has very strong combat effectiveness and has always been

Valued by James.

Du Zhongbo said quietly: "Ji Ge is determined. It is not something you or I can stop. Since we can't stop him, let's stroke him along his fur."

Zhan Bai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Du Zhongbo said: "Give him five thousand more people and let Shang Zhidan go with him."

Zhan Bai's eyes lit up slightly, his face relaxed, he nodded and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, let's do it like this."

Shang Zhidan is a very capable young general, and Zhan Bai appreciates this man very much. With his help, even if Ji Ge cannot defeat the Jin army, nothing big will happen.

While the two were talking, more than a dozen people gathered around him. These people were kings and high-ranking dignitaries from the countries in the eastern part of the Western Region. When they saw Ji Ge leading the army back to his home country, they suddenly looked dissatisfied and angry. Everyone gathered and surrounded him.

James, please give me an explanation.

Looking at these people, Zhan Bai sat back in his chair, rubbed his brow, and suddenly had a headache.

Of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, the population is mainly concentrated in the eight central countries, and commerce is concentrated in the six western countries. These two regions are where the financial and material resources of the entire Western Region are concentrated, while the seven eastern countries are relatively weak.

As we all know, although the Western Region has a large territory, there are many countries and the power is dispersed, so the military is not strong. However, on the other hand, commerce is extremely developed and the status of merchants is very high. This is different from the Jin Dynasty, where the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was the lowest.

There are very obvious differences between the regions.

After Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, the Dashi Empire occupied the seven states in the west of Longyou for nearly a hundred years. Cultural differences and geographical conflicts led to a long-term confrontation between the Dashi Empire and the Jin Dynasty. Although no major war broke out, the two sides were always on guard and hostile to each other.

Under this situation, the Dashi Empire has always maintained a military strength of about 100,000 in the west of Longyou. The supply to support these 100,000 troops is supported by the seven countries in the eastern part of the Western Region, plus the taxes that have to be handed over to the Dashi Empire.

This resulted in the seven countries in the eastern part of the Western Region being very poor.

Later, the relationship between Dashi and the Jin Dynasty eased, and the two sides opened trade with each other, and commerce developed rapidly. Taking advantage of this trend, the seven countries in the eastern part of the Western Region were naturally the first to participate, and they gained huge benefits in a short period of time. Unfortunately, this

The good life did not last long. With the rise of the Persian Empire, a fierce collision with the Dashi Empire soon broke out. On the Jin Dynasty's side, the second Longyou War also broke out, and the trade routes were temporarily blocked.

In fact, these are not important. In the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, whether it is the Dashi Empire or the Jin Dynasty, the progress of the war and the number of casualties have nothing to do with them. They only value interests. The war will end one day, and trade routes

There will always be a day of reopening. When the war is over and everyone can trade again, that is the most important thing. However, all of this has undergone a fundamental change with the sudden rise of James.

Zhan Bai has his own ideals and ambitions, but in the eyes of others, what does all this have to do with him? Although the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions seem to be scattered, they are actually a whole. No one will know what Zhan Bai wants to do.

Stop it, but you can't ignore everyone's thoughts and situation.

From the very beginning, the countries in the Western Regions were opposed to Zhan Bai's military operations, especially the seven countries in the eastern part of the Western Regions, which reacted the most violently, because in their view, maintaining peace with the Jin Dynasty, conducting trade, and earning huge amounts of money would

That is the most important thing. Once a war breaks out with the Jin Dynasty, even if Zhan Bai takes over the entire Longyou, at that time, the situation with the Jin Dynasty will be hostile and trade will be interrupted. This kind of environment will be difficult for the seven eastern countries.

What benefits? There are no benefits at all. You Zhanbo expanded the land, and we contributed money and efforts, but in the end we didn't get any benefits. Of course, the seven eastern countries in the Western Region fiercely opposed it.

Zhan Bai knew that he could not explain the seven countries in the eastern part of the Western Region, so he finally decided to put them aside and gather the forces of the central, western and northern countries of the Western Region to actively prepare for war. However, he did not expect that the Jin army took action first and beat him.
