When an old minister stood up, the surrounding ministers and King Liao all bowed to him.
This is a royal family, a big man who has been granted a title. Even King Liao needs to treat him with some courtesy. In terms of seniority, the king is considered his nephew.
The old minister bent over slightly, leaning on a cane, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.
"Your Majesty, although it is more dangerous to cede Luoyi, there are still passes. We can strengthen the passes and send troops to garrison them."
"Without five or ten years of digestion, Marquis Wu'an will not have the extra troops to garrison."
"The queen is from Shangguo, so she can contact some powerful families and create some things to distract Marquis Wu'an. In this way, she won't be a threat to us."
"Finally, contact Xingguo. We promise to make huge profits. We don't ask for an offensive and defensive alliance. At least we can't target us without reason."
The veteran's shoulders shook a few times and he took a few long breaths.
"Pull out the cancer of the three tribes and drive away Wang Jian's army. Your Majesty only needs to work hard for a few years. In the future, our Liao Kingdom will not be much worse than Xia Kingdom."
King Liao's eyes suddenly lit up. What his uncle said made perfect sense. He looked at the queen next to him.
The queen smiled slightly and nodded immediately. As a member of the royal family, she hated Yang Gan.
Because of Yang Qian, her future position was not secure. The originally stable position of queen was already shaky.
"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want. Although Shangguo was destroyed by Yang Qian, the foundation is still there. Xiaojun will contact the nobles in the country to resist."
King Liao held the queen's hand, his eyes filled with tears from excitement.
"Okay, okay, I have a good wife like you, and I can look forward to a bright future!"
"Give them the edict and tell these northern barbarians to get out of here!"
The eunuch took the edict and went outside. Not long after, he came back and said with his hands in hand.
"Your Majesty, the general of the Xia Kingdom said that he came from afar and heard about your majestic reputation. He needs to see you before leaving. Otherwise, it will be inconsistent with the etiquette. When he returns, he is afraid of being blamed by Marquis Wu'an."
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
The surrounding ministers including King Liao laughed.
"The northern barbarians are enlightened."
"The king is so powerful that even Marquis Wu'an has to bow his head."
"Let them in!"
King Liao stroked his beard and smiled.
Not long after, a dozen generals-like figures came to the palace and bowed slightly to King Liao.
Maybe he felt that he was a bit petty here. There were only a dozen people, but there were hundreds of guards in the palace. King Liao waved his hand, motioning for them to push aside.
Zhu Hongfang's eyes flashed with ecstasy.
"Foreign ministers, please see your Majesty!"
"Get up, this time I must bring back the documents of Luoyi's cession, and tell Marquis Wu'an about my goodwill."
"If possible, can you ask Wu Anhou to contact General Wang Jian? I hope our two countries can negotiate peace. If the war continues, it will only be the common people who will suffer."
The corners of the mouths of several generals twitched fiercely.
The words are more beautiful than the songs, but the people are still suffering.
Some of these generals came from poor families, some came from landlords, and most of them came from the common people. After seeing so many things in the world, only Wu'an Hou treated the common people sincerely.
The rest of the kings? Not to mention the king, even the nobles look down on the common people, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
I have to say that he is so thick-skinned to be a king. I don’t think he can be smashed with a catapult.
"Promise, the foreign minister will tell the Marquis exactly what the king said."
"When I went out, the Marquis also prepared a generous gift for the king!"
King Liao raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
"Send it over."
Two burly generals were carrying a heavy box. It could be seen from the footsteps that the contents inside were heavy.
Everyone began to speculate. Several eunuchs wanted to pick him up, but after looking at their thin arms and legs, they probably felt a little dangling, so they didn't move.
put the box
In front of King Liao, one of the strong men began to open the box.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at it.
Suddenly, another big man's eyes flashed coldly, and he kicked the box over, making a loud noise.
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and the guards in the circle next to them were immediately ready to rush over.
The two big men didn't stop at all. They rushed forward with lightning speed and tightly controlled King Liao in their hands.
He took out a dagger and put it on King Liao's neck.
"Everyone, please step back. We don't want King Liao's blood to be splattered on the spot today!"
Before the ministers could react.
"Tap tap tap" footsteps sounded.
A large number of soldiers poured into the hall. The soldiers in the front row held light shields, and the soldiers in the back held powerful crossbows and began to shoot at the soldiers on both sides.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!"
"Puff, puff!" the voice kept ringing.
The frontier troops were accustomed to shooting in three stages. After almost finishing one batch, another batch came on top. The rain of arrows did not stop at all. In just a few breaths, most of the guards were shot to the ground.
Zhu Hongfang yelled at the person above.
"What are you still doing? Let's go!"
The two strong men looked aggrieved. Did they not want to leave? Instead, King Liao held the Queen's wrist tightly.
With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't break them apart for a while.
I wish Hongfang is in a hurry.
"Stop it, take both of you away together."
"promise!"
King Liao and Queen were picked up like two little chickens, and everyone quickly retreated.
When everyone got on their horses, the cavalry in the entire palace retreated like a tide.
A few breaths.
Some ministers looked like crazy demons and rolled out of the hall, shouting loudly.
"Here comes someone."
"Come quickly, the king has been captured!"
"Palace Guards, where are you guys! Come on, come on!"
A large number of guards rushed out from the nearby palace and rushed outside.
But it was too late. Looking at the cavalry, all the guards had a trace of dejection in their eyes.
How can the infantry chase the cavalry?
I only have two legs, and even if I run like crazy, I can't catch up with someone with six legs.
At the entrance of the palace, the guards, eunuchs, and ministers were in chaos.
Even some ministers have collapsed to the ground.
"Oh my god~~~"
"You are trying to kill me, Dali!!!"
After a while, a large number of ministers arrived quickly. When they learned that King Liao had been captured, they were just surprised and did not think it was anything special.
But when they learned that the heads of the three clans had also been taken away, they immediately exploded.
There are ministers who are loyal to the king, and there are ministers who are loyal to the three clans.
Although they were crying hard at this time, only they knew who was crying.
Some ministers cried even louder, but they were almost ecstatic inside.
These are all from small families, but they also have their own power. The three families are like three mountains pressing on them, making it very difficult for them to even breathe.
The family members are still there, but the three major clan leaders are gone, so there will be chaos at least for a while.
It didn't take long for the ministers to wipe their tears and start planning.
Some people are thinking about what to do next if the king is gone.
Some people are thinking about whether they can get a good position for the family if the family is disrupted.
Almost all of them had their own little thoughts, but not surprisingly, almost everyone felt that the captured clan leader or king would almost never come back.
But they are not worried that King Liao will be killed. In their impression, at least no one has dared to kill the princes and kings blatantly.
Even a ruthless man like Wu Anhou only captured King Shang and did not kill him on the spot.
However, a King Liao who cannot come back has little to do with the country of Liao.
A power dispute started in Liao State.
The wind-improving army was on their way home, looking very excited.
In one day, they traveled more than a hundred miles. The hinterland of Liao State was mostly plains, so horses were naturally galloping.
Originally, the speed could be faster. The Wind Control Army and its generals are naturally good at fighting and have strong bodies.
But the bodies of the heads of the three clans, King Liao and Queen were indeed ordinary.
King Liao and Queen were okay, they were only middle-aged.
But the heads of the three clans are all above middle age, and one of them is almost sixty. He ran hundreds of miles in one day and almost shook his old bones to pieces.
It is rainy in spring, with continuous spring rain, and the originally warm weather gradually cools down again.
While playing around, the scout team found a good mountain col. It was leeward and lacked vegetation, so it was very suitable for setting up camp.
According to the march of Yufeng Army, there is no way to set up camp.
On the plains, one person and two horses took turns running. As long as the horses could not run to death, they would not stop.
Only in places with rolling mountains would they camp on digs.
Riding lightly into battle, there is no way to carry heavy baggage, and naturally it is impossible to carry a tent.
There is little difference between sleeping in one place or sleeping on a horse.
If it weren't for the few people they captured, the Wind Control Army might have started continuous output day and night.
Some soldiers picked up pots and began to boil water. Some pots had cans thrown in them, and some pots had rice bars melted in them.
Not long after, the aroma of wheat began to fill the air.
Soldiers began to line up near the pot to receive their rations.
A can, after eating it, I filled it with rice cereal from the leftover can and started eating it happily.
Some soldiers took out bromide cakes from their bags, and suddenly, there were sounds of eating happily.
A sound of "Boom".
In an instant, all the soldiers looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a soldier looking at them with vigilance.
"What are you looking at?"
A soldier laughed.
"Hahaha, you kid, why do you still have canned fruit?"
"This thing is a rare commodity now. Not only is it delicious, it's still fresh and tight, just like when it was picked."
"If you exchange your salary for this, you are also a talent."
Everyone was chattering away, but the hope in their eyes couldn't be hidden.
At this time, Zhu Hongfang came over and looked at the soldiers.
"Your canned food is pretty good."
The soldier immediately hid the can behind his back, his face full of vigilance.
"General, this is my own thing. As a general, you can't steal it openly!"
