The letter sent by Sichuan King Xiao Xuan to Tang Yin and Lingshuang was also sent to the Jade Capital Kangyang. Apparently Xiao Xuan also heard about Tang Yin's visit to the Jade Kingdom.
Xiao Xuan's well-informed news is not surprising. What is surprising is that he actually wants all the princes to come to Anguo for a gathering.
Now, Li Hong, who has proclaimed himself emperor, has issued an edict asking all the princes to go to Beijing to meet the emperor. However, at this time, Li Hong summoned the princes to Anguo for a gathering, which was obviously a rivalry with Li Hong.
Moreover, the gathering place chosen by Xiao Xuan is also very interesting. It is not within the territory of Sichuan Kingdom, but Yuzhen of Anguo. Yuzhen is located in the west of Anguo. If viewed on the map of the entire Haotian Empire, Yuzhen is right in the center.
at.
To the south are Shangjing and Chuan Kingdoms, to the north are Mo Kingdom and Feng Kingdom, and to the west are Yu Kingdom, Huan Kingdom, and Zhen Kingdom. From all countries, it is not too far away from Yuzhen.
It can be seen that Xiao Xuan put a lot of thought into choosing this place. The venue of the gathering was not chosen in his own country, but in the relatively conservative and peaceful Anguo, mainly to avoid suspicion, and also to show that the purpose of initiating this gathering was only to discuss business, and not to discuss matters.
Malice.
In addition, the time to get to Yuzhen is almost the same from all countries, and the trip can be greatly shortened without too long delays.
The most important point is that Anguo is connected in all directions and borders many countries. All countries can station troops at the borders to take precautions before they happen, and there is no need to worry about their monarchs encountering unexpected events during gatherings.
If there is only one country that is far away from Yuzhen and not bordering Anguo, it is Fengguo. And now Fengwang Tang Yin is in Kangyang of Jade Kingdom, so he can go with Jade King Lingshuang.
After receiving Xiao Xuan's letter, Lingshuang immediately summoned all ministers for discussion, and also called in ministers from Tang Yin and Feng Kingdom.
In the court hall, the ministers of the Jade Kingdom had different opinions. Some said that this gathering may have other purposes and hidden murderous intentions, so it was best not to attend; others said that Xiao Xuan summoned the kings at this time, and it must be for Li Hong to claim the emperor.
We discussed the matter and wanted to see what the princes of various countries wanted. Some people said that Xiao Xuan chose Anguo as the gathering place to avoid suspicion, but Anguo is an enemy of the Jade State. If the king goes there, it may be more misfortune.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Lingshuang frowned deeper and deeper. She turned and glanced at Tang Yin beside her. He was very calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He was sitting there leisurely tasting the food.
Tea.
Look at the ministers of the Feng Kingdom. They all have the same character as Tang Yin. Either their eyes are dull and blank, or they lower their heads and play with the gadgets in their hands absentmindedly. No one cares about the gathering of the kings.
Lingshuang took a deep breath, raised her head and asked, "Xiang Cui, what do you think of this matter?"
After hearing Lingshuang's words, the ministers immediately stopped talking and turned their eyes towards Cui Teng.
Cui Teng's face was solemn and he said: "It is really strange that the King of Sichuan convened a gathering of princes from all over the world at this time. King Zhen must have been supported by the Sichuan Kingdom when he proclaimed himself emperor, but now, the King of Sichuan is on the opposite side of King Zhen.
, summoned all the princes to Anguo, I thought, there are only two possibilities. One is that he will come forward on behalf of King Zhen to force the princes to submit and respect the new emperor. The other possibility is that... the King of Chuan has already
King Zhen has broken up, and we must unite all the kings to fight against King Zhen."
Lingshuang's expression did not lighten up because of Cui Teng's analysis, but instead became more solemn. She understood what Cui Teng said, and it was as if he had not said anything. She turned her head and looked at Zuo Xiang.
Gao Yuan asked: "What is the high opinion of the Prime Minister?"
Gao Yuan pondered for a long time, grinned, and said: "I think it is unlikely that King Sichuan will come forward on behalf of King Zhen to force all the kings to submit. If the two kingdoms of Sichuan and Zhen are really united, they will be invincible. All they need is one letter."
After the letter is sent out, who among the kings in the world dares to disobey? Why go to such trouble and ask the kings to go to Anguo first to discuss matters?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom burst into laughter. In the past, the Feng Kingdom had defeated millions of armies from the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen.
Gao Yuan heard the sneers from Feng Country, but ignored it. In his eyes, Feng Country, which was located in a remote area, was unique among other countries.
He continued: "It can be seen that it is more likely that the King of Sichuan wants to compete with King Zhen. The king should go to this gathering."
Lingshuang nodded. Gao Yuan's words coincided with what Tang Yin said. A few days ago, in a private conversation between her and Tang Yin, the latter clearly stated that the two kingdoms of Sichuan and Zhen had broken up. Otherwise, he would not be able to proclaim himself emperor.
The person will definitely be Xiao Xuan, the King of Sichuan, and Li Hong will never get his turn no matter what.
Cui Teng continued: "Even if the King of Sichuan is not prepared to surrender the kings, the meeting place is in Anguo after all. If the king goes there, the luck or misfortune is unpredictable!"
Gao Yuan disagreed with Cui Teng's statement and said sternly: "It is precisely because of this gathering in Anguo that the king should go there! King Sichuan intends to win over the kings and will never allow Anguo to cause chaos. In addition, the king can also take this opportunity to
Have a good talk with King An to resolve the hatred between Yu’an and Yu’an!”
Before Cui Teng could speak, General Shang Chong stood up and expressed his opposition. He said in a loud voice: "The Anguo invaded our Jade Kingdom first, invaded my land, killed my people, and plundered my treasures. This hatred is irreconcilable.
The country has long been at odds with An, so how can there be any reason for peace talks?"
Gao Yuan sighed and said: "General Shang, as a dignified general, should clearly understand the priorities. The initiator of the Mo'an coalition is Mo Guo, and the main force is also Mo Jun. Our country's current enemy is Mo Guo, not An Guo.
Does the general think that our country’s national strength can compete with the two great powers Mo and An?”
"Of course it is difficult for our country to compete with the two countries of Mo'an on our own, but don't forget that our country also has allies. His Royal Highness the Wind King and the Feng Kingdom are on the side of our Jade Kingdom. How can the two countries of Yufeng combined forces not be able to defeat the two countries of Mo'an?
Thief?" When it comes to dealing with foreign enemies, Yu Guo naturally regards Feng Guo as one of its own.
Tang Yin, who rarely raised his head, smiled leisurely as he sat there silently, and put down the teacup. Lingshuang felt disturbed as she listened to their argument. She turned her head and said softly: "Brother Feng Wang!"
Tang Yin responded: "What's wrong with Sister Wang?"
"Brother Wang, do you think Wang Mei should accept the invitation of King Sichuan? And should she negotiate peace with King An?" Tang Yin has unique opinions on many issues, and Lingshuang also wants to hear his opinions.
After hearing what Lingshuang asked Tang Yin, Cui Teng, Gao Yuan, Shang Chong and others immediately stopped arguing and listened.
Tang Yin thought for a while and said: "I think Sister Wang must go to Anguo this time. As for whether to negotiate peace with King An, I am more in favor of the high minister's opinion."
Seeing that Shang Chong was about to speak again, Tang Yin continued: "Talking for peace does not mean admitting defeat, nor is it a humiliating thing. Prime Minister Gao is right. At present, our primary enemy is Mo State. It is better to deal with one enemy than two.
This enemy is much easier to deal with. Once we eliminate the formidable enemy Mo Guo, the initiative will be firmly in our hands. By then, An Guo will be nothing more than meat on the ground and we can do whatever we want."
Tang Yin's intention is very clear. It's not that he won't take revenge, but the time has not come yet. When the opportunity matures in the future, he will be sure to attack An Guo.
His words made Shang Chong feel like his hut was wide open. He nodded his head and felt that what Tang Yin said was reasonable. Lingshuang also believed that Tang Yin's opinion was reasonable. At present, he resolved the hatred between Yuguo and Anguo and concentrated on preventing and dealing with Mo.
country is the best strategy.
She pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked with concern: "Brother Wang, will you also accept Prince Sichuan's invitation?"
If it is dangerous for her to go to Anguo, then the danger for Tang Yin to go to Anguo is ten times a hundred times greater than hers. From north to south, Fengguo and Moguo have forged a sworn feud, and they have also had conflicts with Anguo and Huanguo.
In the battle, they had defeated An Huan's 400,000-strong army, and the gap with the Sichuan Kingdom was even deeper. When the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces broke through the Ba Pass and penetrated into the Feng Kingdom, they almost caused the fall of Yancheng and the destruction of the Feng Kingdom. It can be said that among the other countries,
Except for the Jade Kingdom, all of them had fought with the Feng Kingdom. They were all enemies of the Feng Kingdom, and it was probably the common thought of the kings of all countries that Tang Yin died.
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "All the kings are gathering together. It is an unprecedented grand occasion. How can I not join in the fun?!"
The ministers of the Jade Kingdom looked at each other, and they all secretly felt a cold sweat for him.
How courageous is the Feng King? Looking at the world, there are enemies everywhere, and he still dares to accept the invitation and go to Anguo. Isn't this asking for death? Moreover, Fengguo does not border with Anguo. If something happens, there will not even be reinforcements to rescue him.
However, the ministers of Feng State acted very calmly and were not surprised at all when Tang Yin accepted the invitation from King Sichuan. It seemed that Tang Yin had already discussed it with them.
Lingshuang asked worriedly: "Isn't Brother Wang afraid that the kings will do harm to you?"
Tang Yin smiled and pointed at Shangguan Yuan Rang sitting below, and said proudly: "With Yuan Rang accompanying me, even if someone wants to do harm to me, what can they do to me?"
Shangguan Yuanrang is a man, not a god. How can he alone be able to compete with all the countries in the world? Lingshuang muttered disapprovingly in her heart, but seeing that Tang Yin was relaxed and confident, she didn't say anything more.
Of course Tang Yin was not so arrogant as to think that taking Shangguan Yuanrang with him could suppress everyone. He had carefully discussed Xiao Xuan's meeting with Gao Liangjie and others, and finally agreed that this trip would be beneficial.
The disadvantages outweigh the disadvantages, and the good things outweigh the bad things.
The Feng Kingdom had already made a decision and accepted the invitation. The Jade Kingdom also discussed the results in the court and believed that Lingshuang should participate in the gathering of kings. The two countries' opinions were unified, and Tang Yin and Lingshuang's trip to Anguo also followed.
Put it on the agenda.
Although both countries agreed to attend the gathering of kings, preliminary preparations still need to be made. The more than 300,000 central troops of the Jade Kingdom and the 90,000 garrison of the Feng Kingdom marched southeastward to the Yu'an border.
The more than 400,000 troops from the two countries gathered at the Yu'an border may not necessarily completely protect the monarchs of the two countries participating in the gathering, but they can also exert a certain deterrent effect so that those with evil intentions will not dare to act rashly.
The meeting between the kings of the six kingdoms of Sichuan, Feng, An, Mo, Huan, and Yu also kicked off the most incredible sudden change in the late Haotian Empire, which was the famous six kings exterminating Zhen.
