As soon as these words came out, someone exclaimed: "Let the prince marry?"
"Hu Yan Wuhen, how dare you say such words that you have no king and no father!"
"General, don't make a mistake. Now it's Wei Guo who begs us, but you actually let the prince get married?"
"Hu Yan Wuhen! The prince's marriage represents the state. It is common sense for a man to marry a woman. Ordinary people would find it shameful for a man to marry into his wife. If I, the noble prince of the Qi Kingdom, marry into his wife, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"General, Xuan Wei is a widow and a married woman. Although she is good-looking, she is nearly forty years old after all. And among your Majesty's princes, all the unmarried ones are under the age of twenty. You actually want to let a young man
How can you say that a prince who is over twenty is marrying... no, he is marrying a widow who is nearly forty years old?"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. If the news spreads to the face of our country, Qi, where will your Majesty's face be put? And how can it be embarrassing for the prince who has entered the marriage?"
All the court officials spoke out against Huyan Wuhen one after another, and they were so busy talking that Huyan Wuhen couldn't find a chance to interrupt.
"Shut up!" Hao Yuntu, who was sitting high on the throne, suddenly shouted angrily, causing silence in the palace. After a needle could be heard, he said with a stern face: "General, it is indeed inappropriate to let the prince marry!"
Huyan Wuhen said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Weiguo is obvious now. Xuan Chengtian has lost all the hearts of the people. No matter the subjects of Weiguo or the three major sects of Weiguo, they don't want to see him rise to power. Xuan Chengtian has become a decoration.
, The person who is really in power now is Xuan Wei. With Xuan Wei’s status, it is impossible to marry her into the family. Isn’t it possible to let Xuan Wei marry into the Qi Kingdom without letting the prince marry? "
Hao Yuntu's expression was not very good, "But the marriage will indeed bring disgrace to the entire Qi State. I will become the only monarch in the history of Qi State, no, I will be the only one among the monarchs of all countries to allow their son to marry into the family. My son
No matter how incompetent you are, it is not appropriate for you to get married."
Huyan Wuhen: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because it will make Qi State lose face that I have to do this. Facing a serious illness requires strong medicine, so that the whole country of Wei can see our determination to defend the country with all our strength! We, Qi State, will not hesitate to do so.
Allowing the prince to marry into the family at this time will surely cheer up the hearts of the people of Wei!"
"Your Majesty, Xuan Wei is marrying three princesses at this time, and the Qi State has agreed. Marrying her will have a certain effect in expressing her position, and indeed it will have a certain effect in stabilizing people's hearts. But the people of the Wei State are not fools, they can all see it.
Xuan Wei is bending down to make a marriage, and a marriage is not a glorious thing. The situation in Weiguo must be quite critical, so Xuan Wei would do this."
"Your Majesty, the country of Wei is currently in chaos. What Xuan Wei needs most is to stabilize the people's hearts. We must help her stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible in order to benefit our country, Qi."
"Your Majesty, Jin's strategy and tactics this time are extraordinary and completely different from the past. The preparations before the war were ruthless, steady, and accurate. They hit Weiguo within seven inches in an instant, making it difficult for Weiguo to concentrate all his strength to fight. Weiguo
This time, the odds are stacked against the odds! Who is the next target of the Jin State? Your Majesty should know in your heart that the next target of the attack must be our State of Qi!"
"The people of Jin are fierce and their soldiers are brave. To make the three major factions of Qi unhappy, all the factions in the world are afraid of the Qiyun Sect of Jin. Once Jin launches an attack on our country, how long can we hold it back with our own strength?
?When Jin was in poverty, it still needed Qi and Wei to join forces to counter its military front. Once it was allowed to seize sufficient combat food and grass, our country would face a huge threat. Once it was allowed to obtain the huge resources of Wei, it would be equivalent to letting Jin
If we gain the ability to fight for a long time, the consequences will not be comparable to those when the Jin State was poor and had insufficient resources. For our Qi State, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are in danger of annihilation!"
"Your Majesty, it is indeed shameful for a prince to marry into a child. But once our Qi family is left to fight fiercely with Jin, I am afraid that more than one prince will be sacrificed. In order to seek help from other countries, I am afraid that even ten or dozens of princesses will be sacrificed.
It doesn’t help. Aren’t those princesses still worth a prince?”
"Your Majesty, this is no longer a state matter, but a war matter. As long as you can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, there is no shame in using any means. As long as you can defeat the Jin State, there is no shame in anything you do. If you defeat the Jin State, outsiders will only praise your majesty for his talent, strategy and wisdom.
!The people of Qi will remember that Your Majesty did not hesitate to sacrifice the prince in order to defend Qi."
"But if the battle is defeated, if Qi cannot escape disaster... Your Majesty, is there anything more embarrassing than this?"
"Your Majesty, compared with the entire Qi State, and compared with the entire Qi State's national fortune, which one is more important?"
Hu Yan Wuhen was the only one left in the hall to make an impassioned speech. Hao Yuntu's cheeks gradually became tense and his breathing gradually became heavy.
"Hu Yan Wuhen!" Jin King Hao Qitu, who was sitting in the court, shouted loudly, "You open your mouth and shut up about what will happen if Qi is defeated. As a general of Qi, you don't seek a way to win. Instead, you are here to scaremonger. We, Qi, support you like this.
What’s the use of being a general?”
Huyan Wuhen immediately retorted, "Your Majesty! I'm not being alarmist! I said it's better to fight late than to fight early. I'm asking for a fight, not a coward!"
"Your Majesty, there is no invincible battle in this world. Only by seeking defeat before seeking victory can you know your own weaknesses and take precautions in advance. Once there is a change, you will not be completely defeated! As a general of Qi State, resisting foreign enemies is not a skill.
It is the first duty of a general to block the territory of our Qi State and prevent our Qi State from being devastated by war! Now the Jin State is going to attack the Wei State. Our Qi State must try to contain the war within the territory of the Wei State and try to avoid the war.
To the State of Qi."
"Your Majesty, only the longer the Wei Kingdom resists, the better our Qi Kingdom can avoid the devastation of war and the people of Qi Kingdom!"
After saying this, Huyan Wuhen turned to the superior and said, "Your Majesty, I request a battle. I am willing to personally lead the cavalry army to defend the country and fight to the death with the Jin army!"
"Huh!" Jin Wang Haoqi snorted coldly and wanted to say something else.
"Shut up!" Hao Yuntu interrupted loudly, frowning and said: "The general's words make some sense, but that Xuan Wei...I heard that she has a deep relationship with Ximen Qingkong, the number one master in the Dan List, and this woman is in love.
Conflict, even if I am willing to condescend to let the prince marry me, I am afraid that she herself may not agree. In this case, it will be our own wishful thinking."
Huyan Wuhen said loudly: "Your Majesty, what about the number one master on the Dan List? Ximen Qingkong is just a warrior trapped in love for a day. In the current situation, he is not worth mentioning! And Xuanwei is not an ordinary woman, she is the female Prime Minister of the Wei Kingdom.
Tao has been guarding the country for many years, has a beautiful mind, and has been influenced by state affairs for a long time. When she is free and drunk, women are naturally affectionate. However, when they wake up, they hold the power of the world. Such a woman, faced with such a situation, if she would be embarrassed
Abandoning everything, does your Majesty believe it?"
"She gave the order to massacre the entire harem of Lord Wei. She was so decisive in her killing. Her ambition is not that of an ordinary woman!"
"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the matter of getting married will be in line with her wishes! Xuan Wei may not have thought of it before, but if she is reminded, I'm afraid she will definitely agree! It's just a clear sky at Ximen, it's nothing to worry about, Xuan Wei will handle it on her own
, there’s no need for me to worry!”
After thinking about it, Hao Yuntu nodded slightly for a while, and finally stood up slowly. He faced the ministers and said loudly: "I have made up my mind and will not allow the Jin Kingdom to run rampant! The three divisions will jointly deliberate on the list of princes to marry. I will see the results before dawn.
.Huyan Wuhen!”
Huyan Wuhen cupped his hands and said, "I'm here!"
Haoyuntu: "I order you to be the generalissimo of the Jin Dynasty and immediately command all the people of Qi to fight Jin to the death!"
Huyan Wuhen said loudly: "I obey the decree!"
Hao Yuntu: "War is the most important thing and is related to the national destiny of Qi State. Officials from all ministries should fully cooperate with the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. Soldiers, horses, money and food must not be slacked off. Anyone who neglects will be engaged in military law!"
"Obey!" All the ministers responded in unison...
Before dawn, tens of thousands of cavalrymen who had received military orders had gathered outside the capital of Qi State.
Iron cavalry was also rumbling in the city, and a group of people and horses guarded Huyan Wuhen, whose horses kept running, causing the people in the city to panic.
The city gate was opened in advance, and Hu Yanwuhen led more than a thousand knights out of the city at night, accompanied by a large number of monks and several large birds circling in the sky.
After reuniting with the army outside the city, Huyan Wuhen gave the order, "Let's move forward!"
The iron cavalry suddenly rumbled and shook the earth, galloping away like a long dragon in the starry night.
This is just a part of the troops. Huyan Wuhen has already sent orders to the relevant ministries, and the troops from each ministry will come from all over to join him one after another.
The situation in Weiguo is really urgent, and we must put pressure on Jin's troops before Weiguo's situation gets out of control, so as to relieve Weiguo's urgent needs...
In a pavilion in the city, Shao Pingbo stood looking out the window, immersed in darkness, and looked attentively listening.
After the rumbling sound faded away, Shao Sansheng opened the door and came quickly, reporting: "It's Hu Yan Wuhen, who has accepted the post of general marshal of Jin and will lead the battle against Jin. He has personally led a group of troops out of the city."
Shao Pingbo said in a deep voice: "What a fast response!"
Shao Sansheng said: "The heroic cavalry under Huyan Wuhen is known as the best cavalry in the world. There are many cavalrymen in the Qi State, and they come and go like the wind. Once Huyan Wuhen intervenes in the war, the pressure on the Jin State will be great."
Shao Pingbo: "It was already expected that the Qi and Wei forces would join forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty. How can we let them get what they want? Calculating the time, the Qi army's cavalry can be assembled very quickly. Three days should be enough for the Qi army to assemble... Let me inform you below.
Get ready as arranged and wait for my order!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng accepted the order and left.
…
In the Jin Palace, Tai Shuxiong stayed awake all night, standing in front of the map and checking the military information handed down from time to time. Surprisingly, the head of Qiyun Sect, Taishu Feihua, was also nearby.
…
In the capital city of Nanzhou of Yan State, Shang Chaozong stood in front of the map. Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, explained what might happen in the upcoming battle between Jin and Wei. The audience was Zijindong who came urgently.
and others, headed by the leader Gong Lince.
…
In the Qin Palace, in front of a large map, Luo Zhao was explaining to everyone his views on the imminent war.
The audience was a group of ministers and generals from the Qin State. Yu Cang, the master of Xiaoyue Pavilion, listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.
As for the Emperor of Qin, Xia Lingpei, he couldn't stay up all night and had already dozed off to sleep.
Wei State not only asked for help from Qi State, but also asked Qin State for help. Qin State was newly established and was very hesitant about this.
