The meeting hall of the government seems to be filled with the smell of smoke.
Wang Xi's angry reprimand makes Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao both look pale, as if they are about to swear.
However, Cui Zhang still had a little soberness in his mind. In front of the overall situation, he calmed down and said to Wang Xi, "Wang Shilang, don't forget what happened in Qingzhou today?"
Wang Xi suddenly woke up, and then he realized that he had been provoked by Xiao Ming. Now that the king of Zhao came to Beijing and ordered the whole world, the two families took the opportunity to seize the Royal Prefecture and county respectively, which was the direct contradiction between the three families, because the king of Zhao once issued an imperial edict to reprimand them for treason and let them hand over the city.
Of course, they didn't agree. They didn't want to lose money because Zhao Wang took so much advantage.
When they calmed down, they looked at Xiao Ming at the same time. In fact, there was only one purpose for them to control Xiao Ming, that is, Xiao Ming's royal family. If the king of Wei conquered Qi, they would also send troops.
Now Xiao Ming's words have forced them to the corner, Cui Zhang completely tore off the disguise, he said: "Your Highness, today our three families come to Qingzhou not to discuss with your highness, but to tell your highness, if your highness does not hand over the Weidi thirteen states, we will join forces to fight against your highness."
"In that case, I will wait for you under Yunzhou city!" Xiao Ming's tone is also very tough. He knows very well that he and the three families will never die in the end, and that the king of different surnames will eventually exterminate the royal family.
If he handed over Weidi, the thirteen prefectures would only perish faster.
Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao tremble in their hearts. At this time, Xiao Ming's face is firm and his eyes are full of irrefutable color. For Cui Zhang, the most desirable situation is that Xiao Ming takes the initiative to hand over the thirteen states, but now it seems impossible.
Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other at this time. Today, the three families are too arrogant. They are no longer negotiating, but directly forcing them to give up the Wei land they seized.
Not to mention that Xiao Ming won't agree to this matter, even the soldiers who fought with blood won't agree to it. How can they give up the territory they fought with blood and tears.
Xiao Ming's tough attitude made them fall into silence.
Before they met Xiao Ming, they were confident that they could make him give in, but now it seems impossible.
If so, they have only one last choice.
"In that case, your highness, we are leaving." Cui Zhang first stood up and walked out.
Then Wang Xi and Zheng Hao got up and left.
After all three of them left, Zhan Xingchang said: "Your Highness, this matter has been discussed for a long time. When we tore up the armistice contract, we knew that one day, and even without the armistice contract, the three of them would come to attack us. Now the only thing we need to worry about is whether the barbarians will participate."
Xiao Ming frowned. He said slowly, "now the situation in the north can only be broken through a war. Whether it's the three kings first or we first, the result is the same."
"Your Highness is right, so it's useless to say more. Now we can only face this crisis." Zhan Xingchang said.
When Xiao Ming came here today, he still had a glimmer of hope, but Cui Zhang's words completely awakened him. The key point he said was not the truce contract, but the thirteen states of Wei, which was his goal.
Pang Yukun nodded. Yesterday, when he mentioned the matter to Xiao Ming, he didn't hope for the negotiation. Today, Cui Zhang and his wife sat together in a non deliberative tone.
Now he finally understood why Xiao Ming wanted him to delay as much as possible, but in this way, he could not use normal means to delay the return of the three.
So he said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, the three will surely return home at this time, but the weapons we sent to Shu still need time. My highness is going to ban outsiders out of the city with the public opinion of arresting thieves. What do you think?"
"Well, that's a good way. Three people will jump." Xiao Ming said with a smile that Pang Yukun was getting more and more dark.
Zhan Xingchang smiles bitterly and shakes his head. The two countries are fighting each other without cutting envoys. He can only deal with these three people in this way. However, remembering one thing, he says: "Your Highness, the king of Shu is the younger brother of the third prince, his father and his mother. Moreover, the king of Shu has been loyal to the king of Chu. At this time, the king of Chu is in trouble. The king of Chu must be equally anxious. His highness should inform the king of Chu. In this way, he only needs the king of Chu to help the king of Shu If Wang drags down the king of Zhao, he will be able to deal with the king of Yan and the king of Liang. "
"The king of Chu has this intention. You have to go to this matter. When the king of Chu learns that the three families are going to attack me, he will send troops to Shu. After all, in the view of the king of Chu, the whole south is his back garden. He won't allow the king of Zhao to take a share."
"Yes, your highness." Zhan Xingchang nodded.
After deciding on this matter, Zhan Xingchang went back to prepare to send an envoy to Chu and let the king of Chu send troops to Shu. He asked Pang Yukun to continue to prepare for the assistance to the king of Shu.
After explaining these two things, Xiao Ming went to the palace.
This time, he flatly refused Cui Zhang's request, and a Northern War was inevitable.
It's not that he didn't understand the art of compromise, but that he was also forced into a corner. Even if he was handed over to Wei land within three years, they would also fight against him together. As the saying goes, there is no just war in the spring and Autumn period, and now the situation of the state of Dayu will not have a just war.Strength will ultimately determine everything.
It was because of this that he won the thirteen states of Wei state. Now that he has food and grass, he has a population, and he has a firearm, the tactics of the sea of people are not so terrible to him. Now, with Wei land, the population of the feudal state has basically reached 67 million.
Wei's restaurant.
Cui Zhang's three people have come back from the government. This time, they all look heavy. There is no domineering color at the beginning.
When they went upstairs, they went to Cui Zhang's room and hesitated for a moment. Cui Zhang said, "when I mentioned that he Bing came to attack, Xiao Ming was fearless. It's really amazing."
"Maybe you think about Xiao Ming too simply. When Xiao Ming had only 20000 people in his hands, he dared to fight with more than 100000 barbarians in Cangzhou and Jizhou. How could he be afraid of us today?" Wang Xi said lightly.
Zheng Hao had the same worry. When Xiao Ming didn't make a strong stand, they all believed that Xiao Ming would be afraid, because the first time Xiao Ming signed a truce under their threat, they didn't think that Xiao Ming was just scheming.
"Xiao Ming will die in our hands sooner or later. It is better to destroy him when he is young than when he completely merges Wei into the feudal state. This time, we should work together to kill Xiao Ming. In this way, there will be no royal people in the state of Dayu who can compete with us any more."
