When Fu Meng heard Yao Guang's question, he suddenly felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
Daqian's army has already reached the territory of Daliang and is constantly attacking the city and plundering the territory. Yao Guang did not consider the means of response and did not mobilize troops to prepare for war. Instead, he emphasized Mas's responsibility and asked Mas how he offended Daqian.
Is there such an emperor?
Is there such a monarch?
Fu Meng was unhappy and felt that Mas' death was not worth it, but he had to explain: "To report to your majesty, Ma Shilang has never angered Da Gan from the beginning to the end."
Yao Guang said angrily: "If you don't provoke us, why would Daqian attack us?"
Fu Meng gasped and panicked, and explained again: "Ma Shilang went to deliver three million taels of silver. When he started to speak, Qin Zhong interrupted him. He stopped us from talking and ordered us to deliver the money. Then, let us get out. Let us evacuate Chencang. We were attacked when we returned to Xiliang territory."
"well……"
Yao Guang couldn't help but sigh.
His expression became panicked, and he asked anxiously: "What should I do? What should I do this time?"
Fu Meng was furious and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Da Gan has betrayed his trust, so we will fight against him. Da Gan can kill people, so why can't I, the soldiers of Xiliang, kill people?"
"You know nothing!"
Yao Guang waved his hand and scolded: "Back off!"
Fu Meng's hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists and he could only retreat honestly.
Yao Guang stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking. After a while, Yao Guang ordered: "Come, please inform Prince Yao Qian, Prime Minister Jiang Gui, Minister of Personnel Kang Yongyuan, and Minister of War Fan Tong to come and discuss matters."
The eunuch immediately went to deliver the order.
After a while, Yao Qian, Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong came together.
Yao Qian's expression was solemn, but there was a visible look of expectation deep in his eyes. He also learned about Da Qian's invasion of Xiliang.
Yao Qian was not nervous, but happy.
After Yao Qian stood still, he looked solemn and saluted: "My son, Yao Qian, pays homage to my father."
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong also saluted together.
Yao Guang waved his hands eagerly and said: "Stop saluting, Zhao Shan's army has come to kill them. What do you think we should do?"
Yao Qian looked serious and was the first to express his position: "According to the agreement between Daliang and Daqian, I, Daliang, will compensate three million taels of silver, and the two countries will turn their hostility into friendship. Mas, the Minister of Civil Affairs, escorted all the money to Chencang for delivery. It is impossible. If something goes wrong, why would a large army come to kill you?"
Kang Yongyuan also pretended not to know and asked: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Gui was the prime minister and knew the situation in Da Liang better. He said, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"I don't know, I don't know either! If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Yao Guangda flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "I only know that Da Gan's army is coming to kill us. If we delay it any longer, Da Liang will be completely in chaos."
"Report!"
Just at this moment, another soldier ran in.
The soldier knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the front line is reporting that Hanyang County on the eastern border of Daliang has fallen. Daqian troops have rushed to Longxi County and are attacking the city and plundering territory in Longxi County. The current Jincheng County has fallen into crisis and is in the process of attacking. Comprehensive martial law. In terms of Daqian, not only General Qin Zhong, but also Zhao Shan personally leads the troops."
brush!
Yao Guang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked: "Is there any news?"
The soldier further said, "The news came back from the front line that Zhao Shan said we sent three million taels of silver, but in fact it was only two million taels of silver. There was not enough money. Zhao Shan said he wanted to ask Great Liang to give an explanation."
Yao Guang stared directly at Yao Qian, gritted his teeth and asked: "Yao Qian, where is the money? I gave you three million, how can it be two million in silver?"
Yao Qian explained: "Father, I have never deducted any money from you. Da Qian and I have completed our agreement. We only need to give money, and the two countries will be stable. No matter how stupid I am, there is no way I can make decisions about money."
"This this……"
After many years of peace, Yao Guang lost his sense of anticipation on the battlefield, lost his strong fighting spirit, and became panicked.
Yao Qian caught a glimpse of Yao Guang's helpless posture, but he sneered in his heart.
This is his father!
This is the emperor of Xiliang.
But that's it!
He used to be in awe and fear everywhere, for fear of being deposed as the crown prince. Now, he observes Yao Guang from an outsider's perspective and feels that his father is simply vulnerable.
Yao Qian wanted to guide the situation and took the initiative: "Father, in my opinion, what happened this time is not our problem. It was Zhao Shan who deliberately provoked the dispute. It should be that he was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted more conditions and more. Lots of benefits.”
Kang Yongyuan stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
Jiang Gui, who has always been old and fierce, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. We must block and defeat Zhao Shan's army. Otherwise, when Longxi County falls, Jincheng County falls again, and the imperial capital It’s dangerous.”
Yao Qian said again: "Father, we can only fight once."
Yao Guang fell into his own thoughts and murmured: "No wonder Fu Meng said that Mas went to deliver the money, but Chencang garrison guard Qin Zhong interrupted and directly collected the money. No wonder he did nothing but was attacked. It turns out that Zhao Shan had a plan for a long time."
Yao Qian said again: "Father, we must fight."
"Okay, let's fight Zhao Shan."
Yao Guang was also angry.
Even the clay figures are somewhat angry.
Zhao Shan insisted on attacking Xiliang and wanted greater benefits, but Yao Guang couldn't bear it.
Yao Guang rolled his eyes, suddenly landed on Yao Qian, and said: "Prince!"
"My son is here!"
Yao Gan stepped forward.
Yao Guang ordered: "This time Zhao Shan comes with a strong attack. I am very pleased that you advocated a battle. I, the prince of Great Liang, have become sensible and can shoulder the heavy burden of Great Liang."
"Zhao Shan has invaded, and Great Liang cannot ignore it."
"We previously intended to attack Dagan, but due to Dagan's strength, we surrendered and agreed to Zhao Shan's conditions, choosing to compromise."
"Now, this can't be done."
"We must rise up and knock Zhao Shan to the ground with one blow, letting him know that although Da Liang is weak, not everyone can bully him."
"Daqian has become very powerful over the years, but he is not invincible."
Yao Guang said loudly: "There are many problems within Daqian. Although the Jin Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty surrendered, they are still dissatisfied with Daqian. We do not seek to defeat Zhao Shan, as long as we can delay Zhao Shan and trap Zhao Shan's army in Daliang Within a year and a half, something will definitely go wrong in Daqian.”
Yao Qian said: "Father, Emperor Shengming!"
Yao Guang further said: "In this battle, the prince will serve as the commander-in-chief and lead the army to fight. I will dispatch eight thousand snow dragon knights to participate in the battle. These are the last elite snow dragon knights in Great Liang."
"In addition to the elite Snow Dragon Cavalry, we will also mobilize 52,000 elite soldiers, making up a total of 60,000 people to fight."
"The general of the army is Shi Jian, the general of the heroic cavalry. He is in charge of the army."
"Prime Minister Jiang Gui coordinates the various ministries to allocate grain, grass, equipment, etc. to ensure the logistics of the army and ensure that the war can go smoothly."
Yao Guang's eyes were fierce and he said angrily: "I don't believe it anymore. Zhao Shan is invincible. In this battle, I will make Zhao Shan trapped in Great Liang."
After saying this, he looked at Yao Qian and asked, "Prince, are you confident?"
"Have confidence!"
Yao Qian replied loudly.
But in his heart, he added: "I am confident that Zhao Shan can come directly to Guzang County to kill him."
