Just as the Grand Prime Minister of Yi State was at odds with his military advisor, something big happened in the capital of Lin State.

After Zhao Kun was severely beaten by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Liu and Lin, Xiping sent a marriage envoy to the country of Lin to propose to the third prince to marry Princess Ziyan, the eighth daughter of the emperor.

This is a common means to ease relations between countries. In this era, the situation is changing, and the two sides fought with blood flowing one day, but in the blink of an eye, they can be called in-laws. However, this marriage relationship has become very fragile, and its role

There is only a temporary show of goodwill left, and the most pitiable thing is the daughter of the bride. But in this era when the country is the most important thing, which king would care about his daughter.

The arrival of the Xiping envoy made the emperor and his ministers very troubled. They sent troops to attack Zhao Kun, which indeed offended Xiping. However, after all, Xiping had a vast territory and a strong army. Now they took the initiative to show their goodwill regardless of the previous grudges. If they did not agree, then it would be a shame.

If there is a complete break, will there be any good fruits to be gained by resolutely siding with Zhao and Liu?

Liuguo was almost destroyed by Xiping not long ago, and Zhaoguo has just taken a breath. It is hard to say whether it can rise from there. After all, there are still many uncertainties in Kangguo, Yiguo, and Shunguo. Once

The situation has changed so fast that the State of Zhao itself cannot be protected, especially the beloved prince-in-law of the State of Lin who serves as the military advisor of the State of Yi. It is very nerve-wracking what he will do next. In the past, the State of Yi was a small country with only four or five cities.

At that time, he turned his hands to make clouds and rain, jumping up and down, causing a bloody storm in the world. Now the country of Yi has almost forty cities, with no less than 60,000 soldiers and horses. These soldiers and horses are truly elite soldiers.

They all crawled out from the dead, and their strength cannot be underestimated by anyone. In addition, they have two vassal states, Xiangguo and Qiguo, which are rich in fine iron, as backup. What is even more frightening is that I heard that they have recently fought with the sturdy

The foreign countries have formed an unbreakable alliance, with tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops and the unpredictable tactics of the magical military advisor. Once this man falls out with Zhao Guo... the consequences will be disastrous. Zhao Guo will probably be killed by that time.

busy.

What makes people worried is Kang Guo. Can Ju Ran and his gang succeed? Mo Ju is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Once Mo Ju regains military power, his first thing will definitely be to attack Zhao Guo and encroach on its territory.

, our own side has gone a little far while Mo Ju loses power. If he continues to go with Zhao Guo, Mo Ju will probably not spare Lin Guo. None of the ministers expected to become the emperor's scapegoat and die in Mo Ju's punishment.

He was under the butcher's knife, so he kept silent about the proposal of kissing Zhao Yuankang.

Under this situation, it is better for the country of Lin to waver in its position. It is a good idea to please multiple parties. This is the final result of the ministers' discussion, and the emperor also agrees with it. Fortunately, the country of Lin is not as light as a feather now. After this period

The development strength of Zhao State has been greatly enhanced. Even if they were married to Xiping, Zhao Guo and Liu Guo did not dare to accuse them even though they were unhappy.

After making up my mind, I naturally had to treat the Xiping envoy well. Everyone from the Emperor to the Emperor showed great respect to him. This envoy named Dapi was inevitably a little arrogant. In the past hundred years, the imperial capital had lost its previous sanctity.

The emperor has no dignity as in the past. Dapi himself has the mentality of a big country sending envoys to a small country. Now when he sees the emperor, they all treat him with respect and arrogance.

At the farewell banquet, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Lin congratulated each other, but they drank to the point of drunkenness, which violated the etiquette several times.

The emperor's face was uncovered, his clothes exposed, and he pointed at the emperor to reprimand him for being ungrateful and sneaking up on Zhao Kun, resulting in the loss of troops and generals at Xiping. Now everyone was extremely embarrassed.

Although the emperor has lost the world, he is still nominally the co-owner of the world. Even the monarchs of various countries have to make some superficial remarks and pay attention to basic etiquette. This is too presumptuous. If this matter is spread, the emperor's face will be disgraced.

Where to put it? Where to put the face of the ministers of Lin State? Even if he is drunk, he is unforgivable, but if he is really punished for this crime, he will undoubtedly ruin the marriage plan. Several generals have secretly gritted their teeth.

There was a sound, and several civil servants hurriedly tried to pull him down. Kepi, who was already dizzy, pushed away everyone and walked over to pat the emperor's shoulder with his hand. The emperor frowned and stood up and retreated.

At this moment, the irritable fifth prince couldn't bear it any longer, and he drew his sword in anger. Unfortunately, Dapi, who had lost his moral character due to drinking, died in confusion.

Although the emperor humiliated his ministers and died, killing Dapi ruined the plan, but the civil and military ministers could not blame the fifth prince. Instead, they tried their best to protect him. At this point, the emperor had no choice but to accept his fate. He buried Dapi with great pomp and sent envoys to deliver his soul.

When he returned home, he explained the cause of his death nicely to the King of Xiping and tried to save the situation.

However, the King of Xiping was even more arrogant towards Lin Guo than Dapi. He was already angry because of Lin Guo's back stabbing, and was persuaded by his ministers to carry out this marriage plan. Now the envoy actually

After being killed by Lin Guo, he flew into a rage, and his self-willed temper came back. He was sure that Lin Guo was determined to join forces with Zhao Guo and Liu Guo to fight against Xiping. He did not listen to the envoy's excuse at all, and fiercely

He scolded and scolded endlessly.

Although this envoy from the country of Lin was mature and prudent, he was also a loyal person. He kept saying good things to him at first, but when he heard King Xiping's insults to the emperor, how could he lose his integrity? He was risking his life and death.

He reprimanded the King of Xiping tit-for-tat for not observing the courtesy of a courtier.

King Xiping became more angry, his face turned red and he refused to listen to anyone's advice. He ordered the warrior in front of the palace to kill the emperor's envoy with his royal staff.

When the matter reached this point, it completely deviated from the original wishes of the two countries. However, Zhao Guo and Liu Guo were secretly happy and tried their best to provoke them. Soon the situation developed to the point of war. The King of Xiping sent 50,000 troops to surround.

In the capital of the dynasty, the emperor had no choice but to send envoys to ask for help from various countries.

The State of Zhao has its own plans. The expansion of the State of Lin is too fast. If this continues, it will become a serious problem. It is a good opportunity to use this opportunity to let Xiping and the State of Lin use up their strength. The imperial capital is the strongest city in the world.

It was extremely difficult to capture the enemy at one and a half times, so they just tried to cope with it. Believing that the foreign countries wanted to invade the Central Plains again, they only sent some old and weak soldiers to cope with the situation. After pretending to test it a few times, they camped at a distance to defend themselves.

Since the Liu Kingdom was weak, they sincerely hoped that Zhao, Liu, and Lin would sincerely help each other to survive. Seeing that the Zhao Kingdom was unable to do anything, they were really anxious. Military advisor Qiao Hai led 15,000 Liu troops to the rescue, but was defeated by the West.

The Ping army was determined not to advance. Xiping military advisor Weng Liang had clearly seen Zhao's intentions, so he used most of his troops to deal with Qiaohai. The remaining army suffered two defeats in a row and had to retreat.

.

Weng Liang was unwilling to attack the imperial capital in his heart. Attacking the emperor with troops was an act against heaven. As a commander of a large army, he would be despised by the world. Moreover, attacking a strong city like the imperial capital would inevitably cost a lot, so at first he was just bluffing.

The war drums were beating loudly, but there was actually no actual fighting. Later, they couldn't bear the repeated urging from the King of Xiping, so they had to gradually intensify their offensive.

The emperor was extremely disappointed with the state of Zhao. After cursing him, he had no choice but to send people to the state of Kang, where there was no movement, to ask for help.
