Chapter 1107 War Is Coming
As soon as these words came out, someone exclaimed: "Let the prince marry?"
"Hu Yan Wuhen, how dare you say such words that you have no king and no father!"
"General, don't make a mistake. Now it's Weiguo who begs us, but you actually let the prince get married?"
"Hu Yan Wuhen! The prince's marriage represents the state. It is common sense for a man to marry a woman. Ordinary people would find it shameful for a man to marry into a wife. If I, the prince of the Qi Kingdom, marry into a wife, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"General, Xuan Wei is a widow and a married woman. Although she is pretty, she is nearly forty years old after all. And among your majesty's princes, all the unmarried ones are under the age of twenty. You actually want to let a young man How can you say that a prince who is over twenty is going to marry... no, he is going to marry a widow who is nearly forty years old?"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. Where will the face of our Qi State and Your Majesty be put if word spreads about it? How can it be embarrassing for the prince who has entered the marriage?"
All the court officials spoke out against Huyan Wuhen one after another, and they were so busy talking that Huyan Wuhen couldn't find a chance to interrupt.
"Shut up, everyone!" Hao Yuntu, who was sitting high on the throne, suddenly shouted angrily, causing silence in the palace and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. He said with a stern face: "General, it is indeed inappropriate to allow the prince to marry!"
Huyan Wuhen said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Weiguo is obvious now. Xuan Chengtian has lost all the hearts of the people. No matter the subjects of Weiguo or the three major factions of Weiguo, they don't want to see him take power. Xuan Chengtian has become a decoration. , The person who is really in power now is Xuan Wei. With Xuan Wei’s status, it is impossible to marry her. Is it possible to let Xuan Wei marry into the Qi Kingdom without letting the prince marry? "
Hao Yuntu's face was not very good-looking, "But the marriage will indeed bring disgrace to the entire Qi State. I will become the only monarch in the history of the Qi State, no, the only one among the monarchs of all countries to allow his son to marry into the family. My son No matter how incompetent you are, it is not appropriate to get married."
Huyan Wuhen said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because it will bring disgrace to the Qi State that I have to do this. Facing a serious illness, strong medicine is needed to show the determination of the Wei State to defend the country! Our Qi State will not hesitate to do so. Allowing the prince to marry into the family at this time will surely cheer up the hearts of the people of Wei!"
"Your Majesty, Xuan Wei is marrying three princesses at this time. The State of Qi has agreed. Marrying her will have a certain effect in expressing her position, and indeed it will have a certain effect in stabilizing people's hearts. But the people of Wei State are not fools. They can all see it. Xuan Wei is bending down to make a marriage, and a marriage is not a glorious thing. The situation in Weiguo must be very critical, so Xuan Wei would do this."
"Your Majesty, the country of Wei is currently in chaos. What Xuan Wei needs most is to stabilize people's hearts. We must help her stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible to benefit our country, Qi."
"Your Majesty, Jin's strategic and tactical methods this time are extraordinary. They are completely different from the past. The preparations before the war were ruthless, steady and accurate. They hit Weiguo seven inches in an instant, making it difficult for Weiguo to concentrate all its strength to fight. Weiguo This time, the odds are stacked against you! Who is the next target of the Jin State? Your Majesty should know in your heart that the next target of the attack must be our State of Qi!"
"The people of Jin are fierce and their soldiers are brave. To make the three major factions of Qi unhappy, all the factions in the world are afraid of the Qiyun Sect of Jin. Once Jin launches an attack on our country, how long can we hold it back with our own strength? ? When Jin was in poverty, it still needed Qi and Wei to join forces to counter its military front. Once it was allowed to seize sufficient combat food and grass, our country would face a huge threat. Once it was allowed to obtain the huge resources of Wei, it would be equivalent to letting Jin If we gain the ability to fight for a long time, the consequences will not be comparable to those when the Jin State was poor and lacked resources. For our Qi State, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are in danger of annihilation!"
"Your Majesty, it is indeed shameful for a prince to marry into a wife. But if only our Qi family is left to fight with Jin, I am afraid that more than one prince will be sacrificed. In order to seek help from other countries, I am afraid that even ten or dozens of princesses will be sacrificed. It doesn’t help. Aren’t those princesses still worth a prince?”
"Your Majesty, this is no longer a state matter, but a war matter. As long as you can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, there is no shame in using any means. As long as you can defeat the Jin State, there is no shame in anything you do. If you defeat the Jin State, outsiders will only praise your majesty for his talent, strategy and wisdom. ! The people of Qi will remember that Your Majesty sacrificed his prince in order to defend Qi."
"But if the battle is defeated, if Qi cannot escape disaster... Your Majesty, is there anything more embarrassing than this?"
"Your Majesty, compared with the entire Qi Kingdom, and compared with the entire Qi Kingdom's national fortune, which one is more important?"
Hu Yanwuhen was the only one left in the hall to make an impassioned speech. Hao Yuntu's cheeks gradually became tense and his breathing gradually became heavy.
"Hu Yan Wu Hen!" Jin King Hao Qitu, who was sitting in the court, shouted loudly, "What will happen if Qi is defeated? As a general of Qi, you don't seek a way to win. Instead, you are here to scaremonger. We, Qi, support you like this." What’s the use of being a general?”
Huyan Wuhen immediately retorted, "Your Majesty! I'm not being alarmist! I said, it's better to fight early than to fight late. I'm asking for a fight, not a coward!"
"Your Majesty, there is no invincible battle in this world. Only by seeking defeat before seeking victory can you know your own weaknesses and prepare for them in advance. Once there is a change, you will not be completely defeated! As a general of the Qi State, resisting foreign enemies is not a skill. It is the first duty of a general to block the territory of our Qi State and prevent our Qi State from being devastated by war! Now the Jin State is going to attack the Wei State. Our Qi State must try to contain the war within the Wei State and try to avoid the war. To the State of Qi."
"Your Majesty, only the longer the Wei Kingdom resists, the better we can do to prevent the war from devastation for our people!"
After saying this, Huyan Wuhen turned to the superior and said, "Your Majesty, I ask for a battle. I am willing to personally lead the cavalry army to defend the country and fight to the death with the Jin army!"
"Hmph!" Jin Wang Hao Qi snorted coldly and wanted to say something else.
"Shut up!" Hao Yuntu interrupted with a loud voice, frowning and said: "The general's words make some sense, but that Xuan Wei... I heard that she has a deep relationship with Ximen Qingkong, the number one master in the alchemy list. This woman is in love. Conflict, even if I am willing to condescend to let the prince marry me, I am afraid that she herself may not agree. In this case, it will be our own wishful thinking."
Huyan Wuhen said loudly: "Your Majesty, what about the number one master on the elixir list? Ximen Qingkong is just a warrior trapped in love for a day. In the current situation, he is not worth mentioning! And Xuanwei is not an ordinary woman, she is the female Prime Minister of the Wei Kingdom. Tao has defended the country for many years, has a beautiful mind, and has been influenced by state affairs for a long time. When she is free and drunk, women are naturally affectionate. However, when they wake up, they hold the power of the world. Such a woman, faced with such a situation, if she is said to be embarrassed Abandoning everything, does your Majesty believe it?"
"She gave the order to massacre the entire harem of Lord Wei. She was so decisive in her killing. Her ambition is not that of an ordinary woman!"
"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the matter of getting married will be in line with her wishes! Xuan Wei may not have thought of it before, but if she is reminded, I'm afraid she will definitely agree! It's just a clear sky at Ximen, it's nothing to worry about, Xuan Wei will handle it on her own , there’s no need for me to worry!”
After thinking about it, Hao Yuntu nodded slightly for a while, and finally stood up slowly. He faced the ministers and said loudly: "I have made up my mind and will not allow the Jin Kingdom to run rampant! The three divisions will jointly deliberate on the list of princes to marry. I will see the results before dawn. . Huyan Wuhen!"
Huyan Wuhen cupped his hands and said, "I'm here!"
Haoyuntu: "I order you to be the generalissimo against Jin. Immediately command all the people of Qi to fight to the death with Jin!"
Huyan Wuhen said loudly: "I obey the decree!"
Hao Yuntu: "War is the most important thing and it is related to the national destiny of Qi State. Officials from all ministries will fully cooperate with the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. Soldiers, horses, money and food must not be slacked off. Those who neglect will be subject to military law!"
"I obey the order!" All ministers accepted the order in unison...
Before dawn, tens of thousands of cavalrymen who had received military orders had gathered outside the capital of Qi State.
Iron cavalry was also rumbling in the city, and a group of people and horses guarded Huyan Wuhen, whose horses kept running, causing the people in the city to panic.
The city gate was opened in advance, and Hu Yanwuhen led more than a thousand knights out of the city at night, accompanied by a large number of monks and several large birds circling in the sky.
After reuniting with the army outside the city, Huyan Wuhen gave the order, "Let's move forward!"
The iron cavalry suddenly rumbled and shook the earth, galloping away like a long dragon in the starry night.
This is just a part of the troops. Hu Yanwuhen has already sent orders to the relevant ministries, and the troops from each ministry will come from all over to join him one after another.
The situation in Weiguo is really urgent, and we must put pressure on Jin's troops before Weiguo's situation gets out of control, so as to relieve Weiguo's urgent needs...
In a pavilion in the city, Shao Pingbo was standing at the window looking out, immersed in darkness, and looked attentively listening.
After the rumbling sound faded away, Shao Sansheng opened the door and came quickly, reporting: "It's Hu Yan Wuhen, who has accepted the post of general marshal of Jin and will lead the battle against Jin. He has personally led a group of troops out of the city."
Shao Pingbo said in a deep voice: "What a fast response!"
Shao Sansheng said: "The heroic cavalry under Huyan Wuhen is known as the best cavalry in the world. There are many cavalrymen in Qi State, and they come and go like the wind. Once Huyan Wuhen intervenes in the war, the pressure on Jin State will be great."
Shao Pingbo: "It was already expected that the Qi and Wei forces would join forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty. How can we let them get what they want? Calculating the time, the Qi army's cavalry can be assembled quickly. Three days should be enough for the Qi army to assemble... Let me inform you below. Get ready as arranged and wait for my order!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng took the order and left.

In the Jin Palace, Tai Shuxiong stayed awake all night, standing in front of the map, checking the military information handed down from time to time. The head of Qiyun Sect, Taishu Feihua, was also nearby.

In the capital city of Nanzhou of Yan State, Shang Chaozong stood in front of the map. Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, explained what might happen in the upcoming battle between Jin and Wei. The audience was Zijindong who came urgently. and others, headed by the leader Gong Lince.
…
In the Qin Palace, in front of a large map, Luo Zhao was explaining to everyone his views on the imminent war.
The audience was a group of ministers and generals from the Qin State. Yu Cang, the master of Xiaoyue Pavilion, listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.
As for the Emperor of Qin, Xia Lingpei, he couldn't stay up all night and had already dozed off to sleep.
Wei State not only asked for help from Qi State, but also asked Qin State for help. Qin State was newly established and was very hesitant about this.
