Stunning beauty

Great Merchant Palace.

Fengtian Temple.

There was a fierce quarrel, which lasted for nearly an hour since the early morning.

As for the problem of not being able to lose troops, the king of Donglin used one enemy to fight against the crowd, and output crazily.

Kaixuan, Zhongwu, Guanshan, and Buyi, the four Wu kings who are capable of fighting all go out to fight, and they are not in the court. Wang alone.

Just as Tantai Jingyue said, the big merchants have become weaker.

The era when the Ten Martial Kings swept Kyushu is gone forever.

For so many years, except for the commoner who became the king, there has never been a new king of martial arts. The weakening of the great merchants is not only due to the loss of troops, but also the lack of generals is one of the most important reasons.

The old king has fallen, and the new king is difficult to seal, making it difficult for the big merchants to deploy their troops.

A good general can fight against an army of [-], not just talking.

Prior to the first prince's rebellion, the four Martial Kings, including Li Ziye, took the initiative to go northward. With 4 horses, they almost completely left Maharaja Baidi and his [-] cavalry in the territory of Dashang.

On the plain, the Mobei Iron Cavalry has always been invincible. The four Martial Kings had no natural dangers to defend and confronted each other head-on, and they pushed Lord Bai Di into a desperate situation, relying on their extraordinary ability to lead troops.

There were not enough soldiers, so the generals came to join them. This was Li Ziye's idea at that time.

The cooperation of the four Martial Kings will definitely not be able to match the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army led by a Martial King.

It is a pity that in today's Great Shang Dynasty, the ability of most generals to lead troops, not to mention reaching the level of King Wu, is close to it, and there are very few of them.

The Battle of Qingzhou illustrates this problem.

Compared with the shortage of troops, the shortage of generals may be the biggest problem.

Of course, these things cannot be resolved in a short while.

Now, the question facing the Great Shang Dynasty is that Qingzhou has been destroyed and the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty is in jeopardy. Should they transfer troops from the surrounding cities, or even let several other Wu Kings bring troops back to help.

In the court, most of the courtiers strongly urged the surrounding troops to rush to help the capital. Their reactions were fierce and their attitudes were positive, as if they were the ones leading the troops.

The king of Donglin saw it in his eyes, this time, he didn't fight with the mud again, and he fought with all the officials alone, and his combat power was full.

On weekdays, King Donglin, who was born as an aristocrat, was almost the most qualified of all the Kings of Wu. Whenever the Kings of Wu had conflicts with others, King Donglin would come forward to mediate and act as a peacemaker.

It can be said that King Donglin is the most popular among all the kings of Wu, not one of them.

Under normal circumstances, the king of Donglin would not want to get involved in these messy matters in the court. After all, the interests of the nobles are intricate, and they will not be offended if they can't be offended.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Right now, that is the exception.

The ministers asked the troops in the surrounding cities to rush to help, not only to question the ability of the king of Donglin to defend the city, but also to make the big merchants fall into the trap of the eight tribes in Mobei to encircle and rescue.

Therefore, the Donglin King, who has always been able to bear it, can no longer bear it today.

"You know shit!"

Relying on his quality, he talked about the truth for a long time. Seeing that these things were really unreasonable, the King of Donglin couldn't bear it anymore, and began to spout wildly, cursing, "With this king here, the capital city cannot be broken. Your fate is your fate, and the lives of the soldiers are yours!" Isn’t it fate? Once the reinforcements leave the city, they will be exposed to the iron cavalry of the Mobei army. Why should I send my big merchants to death for nothing because of the unwarranted panic of you wine bags and rice bags? Your heads are so valuable, with gold rims !"

"Donglin Wang, you are an insult to gentleness!"

In the middle of the court, the faces of several civil servants were reddened by Donglin Wang's scolding, and their bodies were trembling with anger.

No one expected that Donglin King, who has always been kind to others, would have such a vulgar side.

On the dragon chair, Shang Huang saw that the situation in the court was about to get out of control, so he reminded, "Donglin King, pay attention to your words."

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I was agitated and made a slip of the tongue." King Donglin bowed his hands and responded.

This group of old men who are greedy for life and afraid of death must force him to swear. He hasn't cursed for many years. If only Guan Shan and the others were here, he is not needed for this kind of rough work.

Especially Guan Shan and Bu Yi, whose quality is extremely low, are suitable for this situation.

"His Majesty."

In front of the ministers, Lord Hai Qing, the head of the nobles, came out and said in a deep voice, "The capital city is the foundation of my great business, and we must not lose even half of it. Yes, the Mobei iron cavalry is coming fiercely, and the three-way army has a total of 18 people. Once the city is besieged, the strength of the city will be greatly different from it. In addition, the siege equipment of the eight tribes of Mobei is strange and unpredictable. There will be no surprises in the capital. lose."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Hai Qing's words are right."

In the rear, a courtier heard Mr. Hai Qing's words, and immediately agreed with him, his expression was agitated, and he refused to give up.

In the hearts of these courtiers, their own lives are of course much more precious than the lives of those soldiers.

In a high position, how many people can really equate their own lives with the lives of ordinary people.

People are never created equal.

"His Majesty!"

Beside Hai Qinggong, King Donglin glanced at the excited scene behind him, without flinching at all, and said loudly, "The capital does not need reinforcements. With ministers and 18 forbidden troops, the capital is safe. Even if the Mobei Iron Cavalry Invincible on the plain, but still useless in front of the strong walls of the capital, let alone 28, even [-], I can hold it!"

While speaking, King Donglin knelt down, bowed his head, and added in a heavy tone, "We can't let Da Shang's soldiers sacrifice in vain just because of our own panic, and defending against danger is the best way for Da Shang to fight against the Mobei Iron Cavalry. Good way, never give up the city voluntarily, and come to die for no reason!"

"Donglin King, you are too arrogant. War is not what you say. If you say you can defend it, you will definitely be able to defend it!"

On the side, Duke Haiqing said sharply, "There are not only tens of thousands of people in the capital city, but also His Majesty's golden body, how can you bet on your self-confidence alone, 18 to [-], almost With a three-fold difference in troop strength, how can you say that there is nothing wrong with it!"

"With this king, I have never lost a city since I became king!"

King Donglin straightened up, cast a cold glance at Mr. Hai Qing beside him, and said coldly, "Mr. Hai Qing, you keep using the safety of the people and His Majesty as an excuse, but it's not because you are greedy for life and afraid of death. This king can tell you , you can relax, this king is here, no one can attack this city, your head is very stable!"

"His Majesty."

Just as the two were confronting each other, a courtier behind Duke Hai Qing interjected and said weakly, "Before the eldest prince rebelled, less than [-] troops broke through the gate of the capital. It can be seen that the defense of the capital is not Nothing will go wrong, the guarantee of King Donglin cannot be trusted!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the officials in the court changed.

On the dragon chair, Shang Huang's face also changed, and murderous intent was revealed in his dark eyes.

court death!
