Emperor Chen met with the envoys from the grassland who came to ask for help in the imperial study room, and finally agreed to reinforce the grassland.
The previous decision of the imperial court to sit back and ignore its allies made the people of the capital unable to hold their heads high, but fortunately, it was not too late to make amends. His Majesty, who had been ignoring the affairs of the court for a long time, finally made a wise decision.
Most people thought that His Majesty and the Court had suddenly figured it out. Only a few people understood that the Court and His Majesty had no second choice in this matter.
When the grassland encountered a crisis, even the Western Regions and Chu State took action. As the Chen State, which was most closely connected with the grassland, chose to stand by and watch, wouldn't it exclude itself from the Three Kingdoms?
If the Western Regions and the grasslands of Chu collude and the three parties attack Chen State at the same time, there is no doubt that Your Majesty will become the king of Chen State's subjugation.
Even if they are unwilling in their hearts, they must provide this assistance to the grassland.
The 100,000 reinforcements provided by Chen State do not need to be dispatched from other places. They already have 400,000 troops stationed in the northwest. Ximen Guard General Xiao Jue will be the commander of this reinforcement.
These days, he has received more and more attention from His Majesty.
Although the matter has been settled, Huang Chen's face in the palace is even more ugly than before.
After the accident on the grassland, a series of events occurred, and he realized belatedly that the situation in the surrounding countries of Chen State had changed so much.
The originally calm lake suddenly became turbulent. How Chen Guo could survive in this big wave was a question he had to consider.
He didn't know how the Western Regions got involved with the Chu State. He only knew that after today, the Chen State could no longer simply regard the Western Regions as an enemy, unless he wanted to become everyone's enemy.
He glanced at the people below and said, "Let's talk about how we will deal with the relationship with the Western Region in the future..."
The Minister of Rites said: "Although I don't know why the Western Regions connected with Chu and the grassland so quickly, it is very disadvantageous for us..."
The Minister of War said: "As a result, if there is a war with the Western Regions, the attitude of the Chu State and the grassland will become unpredictable."
"We must change our strategy towards the Western Regions..."
…
A number of officials expressed their opinions one after another. Although they analyzed the problem from different angles, the results were similar.
That is, Xiaowan is no longer the Xiaowan of the past, and the Western Region cannot be moved by Chen Guo if he wants.
At a certain moment, the Prime Minister, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to resolve enemies but not easy to make them. I believe that there is no deep hatred between Chen State and the Western Regions, and it is not impossible to negotiate peace..."
"Do you think I don't want to negotiate peace?" Emperor Chen snorted coldly and said, "If Xiaowan hadn't been so ambitious and provoked a border war first, how would the current situation be like this?"
Wang Xiangdao: "Now and then, these days, Xiaowan has not caused trouble on the border, and as far as I know, after they completely pacified the Western Regions, they were also very friendly to the merchants of Chen State. Perhaps this is a good way to negotiate peace."
Chance."
Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until the grassland incident is over before we discuss this matter..."
After all the ministers left, he sighed deeply, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
In the past, the State of Chu had to pay tribute to the State of Chen, and the Western Regions used to be a vassal of the State of Chen, but now, all this has changed.
The State of Chu was on an equal footing with the State of Chen a few years ago, and the small foreign countries in the Western Regions also grew into such a behemoth.
In the past few years, Chen State's treasury has become more abundant, people's lives have become more prosperous, and there have been fewer foreign wars. Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. However, in fact, Chu State and the Western Regions are also developing, and they are better than Chen State.
The country has developed faster, and now, in his hands, Chen State has completely lost its previous dominance.
For an emperor with great ambitions, this was something unacceptable.
He has the ambition to dominate the world and make all the barbarians surrender. However, his health is deteriorating and it is impossible to fulfill this ambition. No matter how unwilling he is, he has to admit this fact.
At this moment, he seemed to be much older again. With a hoarse voice, he said to Wei Jian: "I'm tired, go back to the Temple of Yang..."
…
Grassland, Wanyan Department.
The reunified black barbarians posed a great threat to the Sushen tribe. However, this time, the hearts of each tribe were very peaceful.
Heiman is still the Heiman before, but Sushen is no longer the Sushen before.
Under the leadership of the extremely wise Khan, Sushen has formed an alliance with the Chen State and the Chu State. The three countries trade with each other for mutual benefit, allowing the people to live a life that they have never had before. This time the black barbarians invaded, the Chen State
, Chu State and the Western Regions each sent 100,000 reinforcements to support them.
With such powerful reinforcements, the mere black barbarians are nothing. Perhaps this time is their chance to defeat the black barbarians and become the sole masters of the grassland.
Ah Yue walked into the tent and said: "Khan, the Chu reinforcements are less than a hundred miles away from us..."
Chen State, Chu State, and the Western Regions supported them from three different directions. Among them, Chu State was the closest and the reinforcements arrived the fastest. Reinforcements from the other two countries had to wait for some more time.
Wan Yanyan stood up and said, "Let Ayina go there in person, don't neglect me."
Ah Yue nodded and immediately went to inform Ayina.
Wan Yanyan walked out of the tent alone, walked out of the camp, and came to a grassy slope.
She sat down on the grass slope, folded her hands on her knees, and looked into the distance.
The endless grassland in the near distance, the shadowy mountains and forests in the distance, and the silvery snow-capped mountains at the end of the vision.
Her eyes were full of familiar sights, but she couldn't see the people she wanted to see.
In the past two years, she has wanted to chase Chen Guo more than once. However, she is the khan of the grassland. She cannot abandon her subjects while the black barbarian threat has not been eliminated.
This time, if she can completely defeat the black barbarian and become the sole master of the grassland, she will have no worries and can do what she wants to do.
Thinking of this, her heart was instantly filled with anticipation.
Under the grassy slope, Tang Ning stood there, looking at Wan Yanyan sitting on her knees with a trace of pity in her eyes.
That back figure was still as thin as ever, with a look of helplessness and hesitation. In the past few years, many cruel things had happened to her, causing the originally innocent and romantic girl to become a serious person in a very short period of time.
The khans of dozens of tribes have become one of the most respected people in the world.
She had to grow up quickly in order to shoulder the responsibilities on her shoulders. A woman of the same age as him only had the responsibility of caring for her husband and raising children, but what she had on her shoulders was a country and a nation...
Tang Ning walked slowly up the grass slope. Wan Yanyan turned her back to him. When she heard the footsteps, she did not look back and said, "Go to the tent and wait. Let me be alone."
Tangning shook her head helplessly and said, "I obey, Khan..."
The figure sitting on the grass trembled, then jumped up suddenly and looked back behind him.
Tangning looked at the expression of surprise on her face and the sparkle in her eyes. Her heart trembled and she opened her arms to her.
A light shadow flew over from the front, and Tang Ning was thrown to the ground by her. The two of them rolled down the grass slope in an instant...
Below the grassy slope, Xiao Xiao blushed and covered her eyes, her crystal clear eyes blinking between her fingers...
