Xiao Zhan asked: "Then the Marquis gathered a large army and went to fight against the demon army on the pretext of regaining the lost territory. After repelling the demon army, can he not hand over his military power on the pretext of guarding the border?"
Ping Xihou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I do this, King Yu will be happy. Basically, everyone in the court is his party members. I can let his party members confuse His Majesty, let Your Majesty sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and not give Xiliang a single soldier."
A pawn’s support.”
"In a battle with the demons, without the support of the imperial court, how can it be possible with Xiliang's small number of troops to defeat them?"
"Then the final result will be that the whole army will be annihilated, and all the good men of Xiliang will die on the battlefield, and everyone will bleed and sacrifice, and in the end they will only help King Yu conquer the world."
"Because at that time, the Xiliang army was dead and the demons conquered the entire Xiliang. King Yu could make some remarks and say that your majesty was stupid and that he didn't care whether the Xiliang army lived or died. It was your majesty who killed the Xiliang army, thus causing public resentment.
The followers of King Yu can then comply with public opinion and ask His Majesty to abdicate the throne on his own initiative, and then support King Yu to ascend the throne."
"Although King Yu's methods are indeed more sophisticated than His Majesty's, King Yu is cruel. If he becomes the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will kill the entire line of the late emperor. He will not even let go of the former emperor's old ministers who retired and returned home. He is so
Doing so will inevitably ignite the anger of the late emperor and his old officials, and then the Zhou Dynasty will fall into a situation of war."
"When the time comes when they are fighting each other and the enemy countries are watching the fun, and both sides are hurt by the fight, the enemy countries will attack in full force, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will only be carved up."
"So I can only maintain the status quo and not summon the old troops. King Yu will be a little more wary and will not be able to sit on the throne. It is equivalent to checking and balancing each other, but I don't know how long it will last."
"In short, I can neither advance nor retreat. It is a dilemma!"
Ping Xihou sighed.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan finally understood Ping Xihou's difficulty.
King Yu is causing trouble, and His Majesty is fatuous and ignores government affairs. King Yu's followers do whatever they say, and are manipulated by King Yu. How can Ping Xihou survive fighting against the imperial court alone?
"But I still have a worry." Ping Xihou continued: "If I never summon the old troops and keep checking and balancing with King Yu, let the demons annex Xiliang's thirteen states one by one, and Xiliang's
The people will be disappointed in me, and even my old troops will be disappointed in me. When they are extremely disappointed in me, then King Yu will ask his generals to lead a large army to repel the enemy.
In response, let Xiliang's army join his command one after another, then our Xiliang army will become King Yu's army. The more chips King Yu has in his hands, the more unstable your Majesty's throne will be, and it can be directly manipulated by others.
If your majesty is dead, just say that your majesty died suddenly while playing too much in the harem, and Prince Yu can also sit on the throne."
Speaking of this, Ping Xihou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I can't beat him, I will be defeated in the end. The defeat of this game has long been decided, but I don't know when."
At this time, the Young Pavilion Master was very angry and interjected: "Master Marquis, I think you are directly rebelling. Of course, you are not rebelling against His Majesty, but rebelling against King Yu. You are trying to win over the forces that are dissatisfied with King Yu and form a dual relationship with King Yu."
Stand on a foothold so that he can't touch you and you can't touch him. Then you lead the army to defeat the demons and win the public opinion. In order not to lose to you in the public opinion, King Yu will definitely not do anything. He will also attack the Nanman or others.
Beiyi, the backwater of the Great Zhou Dynasty that is left to be slaughtered, won’t it be revitalized?”
After Ping Xihou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he fell into deep thought.
Xiao Zhan also thought about whether this method was feasible for Ping Xihou.
After thinking for a while, King Pingxi smiled and asked Xiao Zhan: "What do you think of your friend's idea?"
Xiao Zhan said: "I think it is feasible. Anyway, there is no way out. We are forced into a desperate situation by King Yu. Why not take a dangerous move and take the initiative to defeat him?"
"There may be a way out if you do this, but if you don't, there is really no way out!"
Ping Xihou nodded, and then laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the dilemma that has troubled me for more than 20 years was actually solved by my little friend. It's still a bystander who can see clearly!"
The Young Pavilion Master scratched his head and chuckled, "I was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to actually work."
"Let me tell you, Mr. Hou, my brother Xiao Zhan lives in our hometown and is an expert in fighting."
