The Northwest Si family, who had been well prepared, easily resisted the attack of the Northern Barbarians tribe and forced the Northern Barbarians back to the Northern Barbarians' side.
However, the Si family did not dare to relax. This time, the Northern Barbarians were obviously well prepared. They had all the military provisions and the army was approaching. It was obvious that they wanted to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty in a big way with the intention of burning all the boats!
Facing the incoming Northern Barbarians, the Si family did not dare to underestimate them, and also entered a state of full alert, preparing for the next tough battle.
As for the southwest, the situation is not very optimistic. The reason why the Polish vanguard was stopped is entirely due to Chu Junxiu.
He had already formed an alliance with Wu Zechen. After getting the news, he immediately made secret arrangements. However, he currently only controls half of the troops in the southwest, which is not enough to compete with the entire Poland.
As for the Southwest Yue family, the mother clan of King Qin, they simply did not work hard!
When they repelled the vanguard, they even hid behind them. They were thinking of preserving their strength, thinking that after consuming Chu Junxiu's strength, they could conquer the Southwest and become the commander-in-chief of the entire Southwest Army!
The situation in the south is better than in the southwest, but it is limited after all, because General Dingnan and his family are detained in the capital!
There is no commander in the Southwest Army, and the two deputy generals are at odds with each other. One is from General Xi and the other is from the Emperor. This situation naturally affects the entire Southwest Army.
Although they stopped the vanguard, the two lieutenants couldn't come up with an argument about what to do next. If this continues, the Southern Army will also be in big trouble!
Suddenly besieged by the three major powers, the entire Zhou Dynasty fell under a cloud of uneasiness and panic.
If only one country were attacking, perhaps the people of Great Zhou would not be so nervous, but with three of the five borders being suppressed by enemy armies, the situation would be different!
Dazhou, can you really handle it?
At this time, not only the people's faces were full of sorrow, but also the civil and military officials in the capital and the court were all in panic.
In the court hall, the emperor dragged his sick body and reluctantly went to court, but he only saw the officials arguing endlessly, and he felt that his condition seemed to be getting worse again.
What made him dissatisfied was that not only did the prince go to court, but the queen mother was also sitting in the court!
The emperor's face was gloomy, and there was deep fear and suspicion in his eyes!
Queen Mother, what does this mean? ! Is it possible that you want to be regent? !
The prince had previously taken charge of overseeing the country without authorization, although the emperor was extremely dissatisfied and believed that his imperial dignity had been violated.
But the prince is the crown prince after all. Although the emperor is not happy, it makes sense after all.
But what about the Queen Mother? !
What qualifications does she have! ?
The emperor couldn't help but wonder, if the queen had succeeded at that time, would the current Si family and the current northwest army be under his control?
Although the Queen Mother didn't know exactly what the Emperor was thinking, she could guess a little bit just by looking at the Emperor's face.
The Queen Mother, whose heart had been numbed by coldness, could no longer feel the pain. In the end, she could only freeze her heart completely.
For the sake of the late Emperor! Also for the common people of this great Zhou Dynasty!
On the last day of November, when the border officials urgently announced their arrival in Beijing, the emperor finally appeared in the court, which had been rare in recent days, but he had been arguing for a long time but could not reach a result.
The Queen Mother sits in the court hall. In addition to guarding against the Crown Prince and the Duke of Fengguo, she also means to represent the Si family.
The emperor listened to the officials arguing for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said angrily: "That's enough! After talking for so long, there is nothing useful at all!"
After saying that, he immediately turned to look at the Queen Mother: "Mother, the war is tense now, and I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the Si family alone. I will send General Zhang to lead his troops to the northwest for support and take over the post of deputy general."
The emperor's tone did not mean to discuss at all. As soon as he opened his mouth, he sent the deputy general to the northwest, directly taking the second-in-command position. He made it clear that he would take this opportunity to seize the military power in the northwest!
However, what no one expected was that the Queen Mother was even tougher than the Emperor!
"I heard that the emperor often praised General Zhang for his bravery. If he is such a talented general, then he should be sent to the southwest."
The Queen Mother's cold voice sounded in the hall, and the overwhelming pressure alone was enough to overwhelm the Emperor!
Who is General Zhang? How could the Queen Mother not know? It's just a dog of Fengguo Duke's mansion!
Ridiculous!
What happened to the queen, and what happened to the prince to seize power? Her good son still couldn't see clearly the reality in front of him, and trusted the Duke of Fengguo to delegate power!
It’s no wonder that this time he was so angry that he fell ill, and even reduced to the ridiculous level of being unable to control the ministers!
Because all of this was brought about by the Emperor himself!
Seeing the sudden change in the emperor's gloomy expression, the Queen Mother remained indifferent: "The Northern Barbarians' invasion was completely stopped by the Si family, and the Northern Barbarians were forced to withdraw from the border area and return to the Northern Barbarians' side."
"The Northwest Army is extremely brave under the leadership of the Si family, but there is no need to waste our troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that there are wars in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is better to use them on the southwest border where support is more needed."
The Queen Mother deliberately emphasized the strength of the Northwest Army under the leadership of the Si family to defeat the enemy, and then stepped on the face of Southwest and crushed him hard!
"The Ai family has heard that General Yue, the deputy general of the Southwest, was unable to retreat from the enemy and almost lost the two border cities."
"On weekdays, we always boast about it, but when it comes time to start a war, it turns out to be such a thing?!"
At the end of the sentence, the Queen Mother raised her voice and her sharp eyes suddenly shot towards the Yue family!
Not to mention these officials, even the emperor's face became extremely ugly!
The Queen Mother was so disrespectful to the Emperor! He directly refuted the emperor's decision, and there was no doubt about it!
More importantly, what the Queen Mother said was true!
The Si family won a complete victory and easily retreated from the enemy. There was no need to send anyone to support them at all!
Just relying on the Si family is enough!
On the contrary, it was the southwest that the Queen Mother named. Yuejia almost lost two cities on the border at the beginning of the war. This is also an indisputable fact!
But what made the emperor most angry was that he couldn't refute it at all!
A bunch of trash! When you want power, you shout louder than anyone else! As a result, when it comes time to use them, none of them are worth the fuss!
The emperor was so angry that he coughed repeatedly. On the spot, Eunuch Dehai was so frightened that he repeatedly handed over medicinal soup to soothe his throat, fearing that the emperor's condition would worsen.
The Yue family members who were named were so frightened that they quickly stood out and argued with trembling voices: "The Queen Mother! You are wronged! Our Yue family is dedicated to the great Zhou Dynasty and will defend the great Zhou Dynasty to the death. There will be absolutely no slightest slightest neglect!"
"The Polish army came suddenly, and we were really caught off guard! But with the brave resistance of our Vietnamese general, we were able to defend the two border towns in the end!"
"How presumptuous! Do you really think that the Ai family is deaf and blind?!" the Queen Mother shouted sharply, with great momentum!
"How could you defend those two border towns across the border!? If General Chu hadn't sent troops to support you in time, I'm afraid those two border towns would have become Poland's territory now!"
