"Just bet on the eight counties of Nanzhou in my Daxia Dynasty!" Xia Haoxuan said directly.
"What! The eight counties of Nanzhou!" The third prince Han couldn't help but raise his tone a bit, and his face sank!
And the faces of many people present also became ugly.
Even the five princes and Xia Nantian's expressions turned a bit ugly!
No one expected that the bet Xia Haoxuan mentioned was actually from the eight counties of Nanzhou!
You must know that these eight counties in Nanzhou were originally the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
A few decades ago, the Kingdom of Korea and the Daxia Dynasty launched a battle. The Kingdom of Korea had the upper hand, and Daxia was forcibly divided by it in order to seek peace.
There were originally eight counties in Nanzhou, but now, the Daxia Dynasty only controls three of them, because five of them were taken away by Korea!
So there are eight counties in Nanzhou, but they are only three counties in Nanzhou.
As for the eight counties in Nanzhou, their names have long been inconsistent with their names. They are not true!
For all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Eight Counties of Nanzhou were not only a shame to the Great Xia Dynasty, but also a pain in their hearts.
Because at the beginning, the Kingdom of Korea only gave the five counties of Nanzhou half a month to move.
However, the number of people in the five counties of Nanzhou reaches nearly 10 million. It is simply a fantasy to want to move them all in just half a month.
Daxia was weak at that time, and even though he knew it was a difficult task, he had to agree.
But the result was that within half a month, the Kingdom of Korea invaded the five counties of Nanzhou, killing everyone they saw and robbing everything they saw!
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Korea are just like bandits, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil!
Overnight, the five counties of Nanzhou were turned into a hell on earth!
This made the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly unable to stand it anymore, and immediately sent troops to rescue!
However, the Kingdom of Korea was indeed well prepared and actually ambushed the Daxia Dynasty troops halfway, causing the Daxia Dynasty troops to suffer heavy losses.
In the end, less than 30% of the people in the five counties of Nanzhou were evacuated, but more than 30% of the people were killed.
The remaining population was actually detained by the Kingdom of Korea and treated as slaves of the Kingdom of Korea on the pretext that these people did not obey the orders of the Kingdom of Korea and stayed on the land of the Kingdom of Korea.
Seeing so many people being killed and so many people being captured, it was naturally impossible for the Daxia Dynasty to just sit back and do nothing.
Later, Daxia also negotiated with Dahan to exchange for the five counties of Nanzhou, but they were unsuccessful.
Therefore, the five counties of Nanzhou are the shame of the Great Xia Dynasty and the pain in the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty!
No one thought that Xia Haoxuan would gamble with the eight counties of Nanzhou at this moment.
"No!" The third prince of Han refused directly, because the five counties of Nanzhou are rich in resources and minerals, which will bring abundant benefits to Korea every year.
He knows the importance of the five counties of Nanzhou, so he will not gamble with the five counties of Nanzhou.
"It seems that the third prince of the Kingdom of Han is just that brave. He doesn't even dare to bet on a situation where he thinks he will win!" Xia Haoxuan seemed to have expected that the third prince of Han would refuse, and laughed directly.
"You..." The third prince Han couldn't bear the ridicule anymore, but this time, he did not rush to agree, but looked at the people behind him, and then at the people behind Xia Haoxuan.
"If you want to bet, how about betting on today's three games?" In the end, the third prince Han chose to be safer.
Now that he has won one round, as long as he wins one more round, it will be considered as his victory. Only in this way can he be considered foolproof.
"Okay!" Xia Haoxuan nodded directly.
"But I, Dahan, defeated the five counties of Nanzhou. What bet does Daxia take? Why not take the remaining three counties of Nanzhou!" The third prince Han said with a gleam in his eyes.
You know, Korea has long been greedy for Daxia and the remaining three counties of Nanzhou.
Moreover, the resources and area of the remaining three counties are not inferior to those of the other five counties.
If I can get the remaining three counties of Nanzhou, my position in the Kingdom of Korea will be unshakable.
"No, this is absolutely impossible. Unless you are crazy, Xia Haoxuan, you dare to gamble with the three counties of Daxia Nanzhou. Isn't it obvious that this will cause heavy losses to Daxia!" Who knew that as soon as the third prince Han finished speaking, the second prince immediately
Open your mouth and say.
"Your Highness, the matter is of great importance. You have no right to make the decision on this matter. Can you bear the responsibility for losing three counties in Nanzhou?" Yuan Houtian also said immediately.
"Yes, this is a losing situation. If we gamble, it will be equivalent to giving up all the eight counties of Nanzhou to Dahan."
"Your Highness, you must not be so reckless!"
"That's right. Your Highness, this matter is of great importance and must not be done!"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince loses to the three counties of Nanzhou, he will become the eternal sinner of Daxia!"
…
All the civil and military officials immediately spoke to stop him.
Because they couldn't see the slightest hope of victory from Xia Haoxuan.
In their opinion, Xia Haoxuan's bet with the Third Prince Han was a sure defeat!
After so many years, the five counties of Nanzhou have not gotten it back. If they lose to the three counties of Nanzhou of South Korea again, Daxia will definitely be hit hard again!
So whether it was for Daxia or for their own interests, it was absolutely their duty to stop Xia Haoxuan.
"Haha, it seems that even if His Highness wants to bet with you, you are tough enough to bet!" After hearing the words of the ministers of Daxia, the third prince Han looked directly at Xia Haoxuan and laughed.
"Father!" Xia Haoxuan ignored the ministers and looked at Xia Nantian.
At this moment, Xia Nantian's brows were also furrowed. This matter was of great importance. Even if he was the emperor of Daxia, he would not dare to make the decision easily.
After all, this matter can be regarded as an opportunity, because as long as he wins, the five counties of Nanzhou will be able to answer Daxia again. This is definitely a great achievement and will also eliminate a knot in his heart.
But the risk is also extremely high. If you lose, not only will you lose the five counties of Nanzhou, but you will also lose the other three counties.
"Father, think twice, you absolutely cannot agree!" The second prince also said quickly to Xia Nantian.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The ministers headed by the second prince also called out quickly.
It is obvious that at this moment, the Second Prince's faction is fully opposed to Xia Haoxuan.
Of course, they didn't know that the Second Prince's faction and many common people also had expressions of opposition on their faces. They all looked at Xia Nantian nervously, hoping that Xia Nantian would not agree.
"Is it possible? Do you need to go to a meeting to discuss it?"
Originally, the Third Prince Han was a little worried, but at this moment, seeing this scene, the worry in his heart completely disappeared, and he spoke with a mocking look on his face.
"Okay, I agree!" Originally, Xia Nantian wanted to discuss it with the five princes.
But after hearing the words of the Third Prince Han, he couldn't help but frown, and then looked at the confidence in Xia Haoxuan's eyes, which actually made him feel like he trusted Xia Haoxuan.
