It was late at night, but the lights in the main hall were still bright. Above the main hall, the emperor of Western Chu was frowning. Under the main hall, the ministers of Western Chu were helpless.
"How about you guys tell me, what should we do about the current situation?"
Finally, Chu Tian became furious, grabbed the tea cup on the table, and threw it hard towards the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from Nanzhao are pressing down on the border. This is a clear indication that the medicine will destroy Xichu. These wine sacks and rice sacks, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays. When they are needed, all of them are mute.
"Your Majesty, even if all the troops from Xi Chu are gathered together, I am afraid that they are no match for Nan Zhao. What's more, Nan Zhao's Crown Princess is not even a human being. Even the devil is afraid that if she starts a war, Xi Chu will be defeated."
Xi Chu's Zuo Xiang raised his head and said tremblingly: Not to mention Nan Zhao's unparalleled military strength, Nan Zhao's crown prince alone could destroy them, Xi Chu.
"Yes, if the emperor starts the war blindly, the consequence will be chaos in Western Chu. The people will be displaced and the people will not be able to make a living. How about negotiating a peace? Just like Han Xi and Xueguo, apart from becoming the capital of Nanzhao, we will have no other losses. Otherwise
, Cang Yue is our fate."
The right prime minister of Western Chu also advocated peace. When he heard what the left prime minister said, he agreed very much and persuaded the emperor of Western Chu in the main hall earnestly.
"Damn, they are a bunch of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If I, Xichu, really surrender without a fight, wouldn't I be laughed at by the world?"
General Xichu stood up with an angry look on his face, walked around to the two prime ministers, pointed at their noses and cursed that Xichu was declining day by day because of such a prime minister.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to fight. Even if it is a losing battle, I must fight to the last stone. I swear to coexist with Western Chu and die. Your Majesty, please issue an order to let me lead troops to fight."
The general looked at Chu Tian, his face full of perseverance, and said without humility.
Even if I die in battle, I still feel that I am not a prisoner.
"The general's words are wrong. Since everyone knows that this is a battle that must be won, why bother to attack the stone with eggs and risk the lives of tens of millions of soldiers?"
The Crown Prince and Tutor also stood up. For the sake of his own life, there was no shame in him taking the initiative and surrendering. After Han Xi and Xue Guo surrendered to Nan Zhao, didn't they suffer any losses? Why do they have to do the same as Cang Yue?
, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed
"Taifu Liu, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment. What the two prime ministers and the Taifu said was indeed reasonable. If he blindly plunged Western Chu into a war, only the people of Western Chu would suffer.
"Your Majesty, why don't we retreat to advance and surrender for the time being? After the situation stabilizes, we will think of ways to raise troops to seize power. Yesterday, I received a letter from the Prince of the North Kingdom. Demon Zong Yang has led a group of demons from the Demon Realm to station in the North Country. Just wait.
If Nan Zhao comes to die, the battle between Beiguo and Nan Zhao will definitely end in defeat for both sides. When the time comes..."
Taifu Liu only said this. Needless to say the following words, everyone must understand what they mean.
"Father, I agree with Taifu Liu. It is indeed not the best time to start a war with Nan Zhao at this time. Nan Zhao must also be wary of the demon world behind the North Kingdom. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to give up the opportunity to attack the North Kingdom first and attack our Western Chu first."
Xi Chu has been peaceful in these years and has never provoked Nan Zhao. Even if Nan Zhao wants to send troops, he should attack the northern country first. The recent actions of the northern kingdom have been frequent, all of which are aimed at Nan Zhao. The reason why Nan Zhao chose to attack Xi Chu first is because of hope.
Let’s have a final stand with the North Country
"Han'er's words are reasonable, but if we surrender without a fight now, will Nan Zhao believe it?"
Chu Tian looked at his son, who was frowning at the side, and his expression softened a lot. Before, Nan Zhao had sent a letter, hoping that Xi Chu would surrender. However, he not only disagreed, but also killed Nan Zhao's envoy.
It's a big taboo
"No, but they won't be too suspicious. As long as we hand over our military power, they will definitely not touch us. Fortunately, our generals of Xichu are very powerful in the army. Even if the military symbols are missing, they will not be able to do anything.
will cause any obstacles for us to raise troops."
Chu Han's eyes were cold. He didn't want Xi Chu to be destroyed in his hands. Let alone surrender, he was willing to let him go to Nan Zhao to work as a cow and horse. Only if he was alive could he have a chance to counterattack.
"Yes, your Majesty, maybe Nan Zhao will ask us to send troops to attack the North Kingdom after he thinks he has conquered us. Then, if we defect before the battle, maybe things will be easier."
Chu Tian nodded repeatedly after hearing Taifu Liu's words. After thinking for a while, he looked at the ministers who were still kneeling on the ground.
"I think we will do what the Crown Prince and Taifu Liu said. Prime Minister Zuo, you quickly draft a letter of surrender. Prime Minister Right, you select a few ladies to be married, add my Princess Mingyue, and send it to Nanzhao along with the letter of surrender.
The army said that to show our sincerity in Xi Chu, we are willing to marry Nan Zhao and marry Princess Mingyue to Jun Zi Mo as the crown prince's concubine, and the other ladies as his concubines. No matter what, Jun Zi Mo must accept them."
Princess Mingyue's appearance was also famous in the world. How many royal nobles stepped through the gate of the palace and asked to marry Princess Mingyue, but he did not agree. Now for the future of Xichu, he can only sacrifice the princess he has loved most since childhood. But that gentleman
Mo Zhizi, even if Mingyue becomes his concubine, she will not treat Mingyue badly.
"If Junzi Mo falls in love with Princess Mingyue, it will definitely cause a rift with Ling Chuchu. If Nan Zhao loses Ling Chuchu, it will be like a bird without wings, unable to fly even if it wants to."
Anyway, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. Ling Chuchu always demands single-mindedness when it comes to relationships. If she sees Jun Zimo getting along with other women, she will definitely not be able to accept it. It seems that he must tell Mingyue some tips on the relationship between men and women. Maybe she will
It can also play a big role
"The emperor is wise and the ministers accept the decree"
As Chu Han finished speaking, the left and right prime ministers immediately lowered their heads to accept the order. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, at least they no longer had to die for the time being.
"Han'er, send a trustworthy person to talk to Shangguan Hao about cooperation. This matter must not be discovered by Nan Zhao's spies."
Chu Tian looked at his son and touched his gray beard at the corner of his mouth. His mood seemed to have improved a little. As long as he could keep Xi Chu, there was nothing wrong with enduring the humiliation for a while.
"Yes, Father, I will go and do it immediately."
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Chu Han's mouth. After saluting his father in the main hall, he walked out quickly.
