Half a month later, something that could shake the entire dynasty finally happened.
The Tubo Emperor, Dari Zampu, has led 60,000 elite cavalry to attack the Longxia Kingdom.
Wuwei Pass fell.
The remaining tens of thousands of Longxia troops retreated continuously until they retreated to Jincheng on the other side of the Yellow River, and then began a new wave of defense.
But he said that the Longxia court.
Today, all the officials looked solemn. Some time ago, they were still feeling lucky for the past two years of peace. But unexpectedly, the Tatars from the north stopped coming, and the Tibetans on the plateau started a war again.
Half a month ago, everyone still looked fearless. What kind of trouble did a small country think it could cause?
But now everyone was dumbfounded.
The old emperor, who had a calm expression before, now has a sad look on his face.
At this moment, he was sitting on the dragon chair at a loss, looking at the officials who were also at a loss.
"A bunch of mediocre people with clever words! They usually just brag and flatter you, but now the Tibetans are invading our Wuwei border, why don't you have any attitude at all!"
The emperor kept insulting the ministers on the stage, but all the officials present bowed their heads and remained silent.
The current Long Xia court is qualified to attend court in this hall morning and evening, and it is definitely not based on ability.
Businesses have business circles, officials have official circles, and the children of your family will be supported by my family.
It is precisely because of this complicated officialdom relationship that these officials today are all mediocre people.
Even if someone ascends to the court through the imperial examination, he will be assimilated soon.
"Father, I know one person who can definitely break this situation."
Just when everyone was silent, the prince standing in front of the military attache suddenly said.
At this moment, everyone in the court was focused on him.
The old emperor looked at the prince, and there was no need to guess who he was talking about.
"You want to say King Shuchuan?"
The prince nodded: "In the battle of Monan, the King of Shuchuan personally turned the tide of the war. For nearly two years in a row, he did not dare to attack the border of Monan again. He is a talent descended from heaven for me, Long Xia. This time the Tubo people attacked, my father
What reason does the emperor have for not using this person?"
The prince's voice was not loud, but in the quiet court, it was exceptionally clear.
After hearing this, the old emperor was silent for a long time and then just sighed.
He was about to agree, but at the next moment, Prince Jin, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up.
"Father, I think this matter is absolutely impossible."
Upon hearing this, the old emperor hesitated again: "Why not?"
King Jin glanced at the prince coldly, and then replied: "Everyone in the world has said that King Shuchuan was so brave in Monan, but we know that a hundred thousand Longxia disciples died last time, plus the money, food and equipment consumed, the price was too high
Already."
Speaking of this, the civil servants behind King Jin all nodded in agreement, especially the old emperor.
Having been comfortable for too long, the blood that flowed from the former God of War Ancestor Emperor has long since been completely wiped out.
"If there is a way to avoid fighting, it would be great, but it would waste people and money!"
"We, Long Xia, have always been called a country of etiquette. We should not be like those barbaric tribes who only know how to fight."
Immediately afterwards, the King of Jin said: "The Yellow River is separated by natural dangers, and Tang Yin still has tens of thousands of soldiers. If he is really determined to defend, they will not be able to defeat them. The Tubo people can only plunder a small half of the state in Shuofang."
If we do something, we will withdraw. It is undoubtedly much more cost-effective than sending out troops to fight to the death and sacrificing the people of half the state."
After he finished speaking, all the civil servants behind him nodded in agreement.
As long as their own interests can be guaranteed, the common people? With so many Longxia dynasties, what is half a small state?
But only the current prince pointed at King Jin's nose and cursed: "You weakling! Why don't you go to Shuofang to die? Why does the dynasty exist? Isn't it just to govern and protect the people of the world? What if they attack the Yellow River? Is it difficult?
Are we going to ask the people north of the Yangtze River to die again?"
The King of Jin said without showing his expression: "I, Long Xia, have a vast land and rich resources. I will give them silk, gold and silver, and persuade them to go back. Why do I need to use weapons?"
As soon as these words came out, the prince immediately laughed in anger.
"Gift? It's a ridiculous word. In the end, it doesn't mean surrendering and asking for peace? Back then, the ancestor emperor led his troops to kill everyone, but now Long Xia's integrity is going to be destroyed at the hands of a rat like you!"
Liu Ding is indeed a girl, but she is more manly than all the men present.
Whether it is a person or a country, one's own strength is always the foundation.
Sue for peace this year, and next year the Tibetans will intensify their demands until the dynasty collapses and foreigners take advantage of it.
Therefore, in his eyes, foreign invaders must be beaten. Even if they cannot be beaten, they must know that the Han people are not weaklings.
If you dare to take anything by force, you will be bruised and bruised!
But who would have expected that the next moment, the old emperor said in a deep voice: "On this matter... let's do it first according to King Jin's instructions."
The prince was silent, a deep feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout his body, but he could only obey his orders.
The civil servants present also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no war, anything would be fine. Otherwise, what if the Tubo people were angered and really came towards Chang'an?
Only King Jin showed an imperceptible sneer.
He had already handed over the defense plans for Jincheng and Longxi to the Tibetans.
The Tibetan cavalry will definitely be able to cross the Yellow River and take Chang'an to occupy the Central Plains.
It was agreed with them that he would be supported as the new emperor when the time comes.
Even if he becomes a puppet emperor, it is better than not having the throne and being occupied by Liu Ding.
Whether he succeeds to the throne legitimately or collaborates with the enemy to usurp the throne, he must sit in that seat and see what the scenery is like in this life.
But at this time, Chen Mu had returned to Bajun City again.
No matter how fierce the battle was at the border of the Yellow River, he was still sitting in the Yuewen Academy as before, carefully reading the manuscripts submitted by the literati.
Until dusk in the afternoon, I finally put away the book and looked at the sunset in the distance.
"What a shame!"
Zhang Bowen on the side asked: "What's the shame?"
"It's a pity that the down-and-out scholar who only lived in a shabby thatched hut a few years ago, now has nearly 40,000 troops and horses, Yizhou is in his hands, and he has become a veritable king of Shuchuan. It's like a dream, and he can only call people
sigh."
Zhang Bowen smiled: "My master once said that you have a destiny, and you will be an extraordinary person in this life, and you will never be limited to one state."
Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's a good thing that you are still a cultivator. You are inciting me to rebel both inside and outside your words."
Zhang Bowen said nothing, just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
But at this moment, Xia Hou suddenly ran in: "Brother Mu, I heard from the scouts that the Tibetan army has crossed the Yellow River and is fighting with the defenders of Jincheng."
Facing the Yellow River, Jincheng was the last line of defense. Once it fell, it would be much easier for the Tibetans to attack the Central Plains.
Zhang Bowen said slowly: "It's time for us to send troops."
Chen Mu said in a deep voice: "Wait until the Long Xia court sends someone to beg me personally."
"What if you don't come?"
"No? When the imperial court completely collapses and the people are displaced, I will definitely drive out the Tartars in public and take over the country of Longxia!"
