Under everyone's attention, the old Cao Guobin came to the conference hall swayingly.

After seeing Cao Guobin, His Majesty Emperor Cai, who had no opinion, immediately walked over quickly and helped Cao Guobin to the position of the Grand Tutor to sit down. Then he asked: "Teacher, what should I do now?"

Cao Guobin looked at Huang Binqi with his already turbid eyes, "I came late and didn't hear the specific situation. Can you say it again?"

Huang Binqi started talking again. But this time Cao Guobin kept asking, and Huang Binqi said more in detail. But the more detailed he said, the more frightened the ministers of Cai State were. Everyone understood one thing in their hearts-Anyang was really angry this time. Also, since the 500,000 troops ahead were wiped out, fools could know what kind of disaster Cai State faced next.

After hearing this, Cao Guobin stood up tremblingly and pointed at the Prime Minister Huang Fu, who looked shocked and panicked next to him, "Prime Minister Huang, did you expect this result?"

Huang Fu was still in a daze at this moment. At that time, Cao Guobin pointed Huang Fu's chest with a crutch, drove Huang Fu out of the gate, and called him a villain who "wounded the country and the people". Now, the cruel reality verified Cao Guobin's correctness and Huang Fu's mistakes. But this price was too heavy, and it was so heavy that Huang Fu could not bear it.

Does Huang Fu want Cai State to destroy the country? The answer is no! Without Cai State, Huang Fu is just an ordinary, peak master of the Jindan stage; and without Cai State's protection, Huang Fu will be torn to pieces by angry people. Therefore, treacherous ministers are actually patriotic; so Huang Fu is now more anxious than anyone else.

But the problem now is - Huang Fu is helpless! Although Huang Fu is ruthless in attacking political enemies, Yan Ze'an's family was almost wiped out; but since he can be the prime minister, Huang Fu's vision is not bad. At this moment, Huang Fu understood very well that he lost 500,000 troops and was greatly injured in Cai's vitality.

It is said that the Cai State now has a population of 70 to 80 million, but a large population does not mean the army; it is not impossible to organize 500,000 troops again, but the number does not equal combat effectiveness. In short, it is difficult to organize 500,000 elite soldiers in a short period of time!

The ones who were destroyed by Anyang in one breath were 500,000 elite soldiers, not miscellaneous soldiers. They were all veterans who had chosen thousands of choices and had experienced several wars. Moreover, since Anyang could destroy 500,000, could it be destroyed if another 500,000 was destroyed?

Also, 500,000 elite troops are almost half of the main force of Cai State; plus the army that was wiped out by Anyang in the past few years, Cai State's national defense is already seriously insufficient. The border needs to be in charge, and the separatist regimes in various places must also be suppressed - with the example of the Daxia Kingdom, many people in Cai State want to be local emperors.

Strictly speaking, although Yan Zean pulled Cai back from the brink of collapse, the already powerful state governors, governors, etc. were not weakened. If Yan Zean was given another ten years, Yan Zean might be able to do it; but the Emperor Cai was anxious to "die the rabbit and cook the dog, and kill the donkey when it was unloaded", which left hidden dangers for Cai.

Later, Anyang's business model developed, giving these state pastors and governors a better development opportunity, and even explosive development; now, these state pastors and governors have been raised in a fat state; they are definitely worthy of the four words "fat and strong".

If it is normal, these governors and governors will continue to cultivate their own strength; but now that the broken ship of Cai State is about to sink, these governors and governors have other ideas, and it is almost impossible to get soldiers from them.

It can only be said that the situation in Cai State is not good and cannot withstand the toss and troubles; as the saying goes, "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food", Huang Fu obviously does not have the governance ability of Yan Ze'an, and eventually made Cai State, who had just improved, fall again. Now, facing the current situation, even if Yan Ze'an comes, he can only be helpless.

Huang Fu was speechless, and the Emperor Cai also looked over. At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor Cai looked very bad. The death of the 500,000 army, the Grand Marshal Luo Guanjie and hundreds of generals made the Cai State short of soldiers, not only lacking soldiers, but not enough officers.

There are no officers and generals, and there is no commander, let alone war, and it is not qualified to die. There are still some generals and individual commanders in the border areas, but that cannot be moved.

Finally, Huang Fu still has some ability: "Your Majesty, urgently promote outstanding talents in the army, outstanding military achievements, and promote outstanding disciples from the aristocratic families to lead the army.

First, immediately dispatch experts to cut off the attacks from Anyang and Tang Kingdom in the direction of Kumuling. Secondly, organize a large army to go to the east and southeast to deploy defenses as soon as possible. Third, strictly order the south and southwest to strengthen defenses.

Fourth, cut off the communication between our country and the Chen Kingdom in the southwest, Zheng Kingdom in the west, and Deng Kingdom in the northwest, and prevent the three countries from sending troops at the same time. It is a day to drag it out."

After Huang Fu finished speaking, many officials present had their eyes flashed because Huang Fu had a vicious plan - to promote the leadership of the disciples of the aristocratic families, which was to send the successors of the aristocratic families to the battlefield; in this way, the aristocratic families must send the elites of the family to protect them.

But no one dared to take the lead in opposing the enemy, and the gun shot out the first bird.

After a brief discussion, the matter was decided like this; in the face of the danger of national destruction, Emperor Cai also took measures, and there was no need to say about heavy rewards. Even Huaihua County, which was close to Anyang and Tang, Huairen County, was directly used as a reward. As long as it could block the attack of Anyang and Tang, you (arist and separatist regimes, etc.) would allocate these two places by yourself.

Faced with the danger of national destruction, the bloated and corrupt Cai State is ready to fight back!

…………

In the country of Xiao, that is, Xiao Liming, who had just completed the throne ceremony, saw the "handwritten letter" sent by Li Xian. When he opened the letter, Xiao Liming was overjoyed, "I just ascended the throne, and I had such a good opportunity to come to my door. It's really 'Destiny is with me'!

The command is to strengthen defenses in the south and the west, and leave soldiers with basic defense at the junction with the Tang Kingdom (Li Yulong), and the rest will have all the efforts to fight the Northern Expedition!"

Xiao Liming also had counselors, civil and military officials around him, and Empress Ji Yunya was not a vase, so everyone immediately raised their objections.

"Anyang won't be fake, right? What if Li Yulong took the opportunity to attack?"

Xiao Liming shook his head slightly, "There is no need for Anyang to commit fraud or lie. Generally speaking, if there is a hostile relationship, the ruler will not tell such a huge lie. And as of now, Anyang's reputation is still trustworthy.

By the way, Ji Quanshan, did you see the war when you went to Anyang?"

No wonder Xiao Liming asked this question. The Anyang City Lord’s Mansion is only ten miles or five kilometers away. This is too close. If a war breaks out on the border, the Anyang City Lord’s Mansion can hear the shouts of killing; and the planes taking off from the Anyang City Lord’s Mansion can even see the battlefield directly.

Ji Quanshan immediately left the list, "Your Majesty, the war is... cruel. Anyang threw tens of thousands of incendiary bombs and countless fuels. The fire lasted for more than ten miles, and the burning earth was like a fire hell.

The wailings and shouts of killing, and the sound of gunfire were heard clearly in the City Lord's Mansion. The resentment covered the sky and the sun, making the temperature of the entire Anyang City Lord's Mansion seem to be half lower.

I also saw Anyang using the Ten Thousand Swords Formation to attack, killing tens of thousands of enemies in one attack, and blood mist covers the entire battlefield like clouds."

"It seems to be true." Xiao Liming's eyes were bright, "Even Li Yulong would not let go of such an opportunity. Although Cai State has had a breath of breath over the years, it has been weak for a long time. First, it lost Yan Ze'an and others, and then had powerful ministers to control the government. Now it has ruined 500,000 elite soldiers and reduced its domestic combat capability by half.

Such an opportunity is once a lifetime and cannot give Cai a chance to breathe."

…………

In Anyang, after the eldest prince Xia Xu was sent to Pingxin Villa by Chen Jinbing, he saw his mother Xiao Yu and his busy sister Xia Qingqing in a bit of darkness. However, Xia Xu is no longer the eldest prince, but just an ordinary citizen in Anyang.

Seeing Xia Xu coming, Xiao Yu hugged Xia Xu: "Okay, okay, okay, just come back. The affairs of the country and the world are too heavy. Be an ordinary citizen in the future. Being peaceful and safe is a blessing. In Anyang, no one can do anything to you."

Lying in Xiao Yu's arms, Xia Xu suddenly softened and then fell asleep.

Xia Qingqing and her mother helped Xia Xu to the wing room to sleep; after a while, Xia Xu woke up and his expression was no longer hunched, but there were still some anger, disappointment and other emotions.

Looking at Xiao Yu for a long time, Xia Xu finally said, "Mom, sister..."

He is no longer a mother, no longer a royal girl, his past glory and wealth have disappeared. This blow made Xia Xu realize the reality that the Great Xia Kingdom has long been yesterday; Li Yulong, Li Xian, Xiao Liming, Gao Bin, Wang Chuan, Kong Donglai and others were not rebelling, but creating heroes in the times.

The Kingdom of Daxia has ended, and a new era is coming; before the new era comes, heroes will inevitably fight against each other and princes to fight for hegemony. This is inevitable in the end of every dynasty; if you are bound by so-called morality at this time, you will be the real way to seek death.

In fact, at the end of each dynasty, it is not just the collapse of national politics, but even morality has transformed into morality in troubled times. Morality in troubled times is not the case.

At this moment, there was a cry of Yingying and Yanyan and the children outside the door. Xia Qingqing opened the door and saw that Xia Xu's concubines and children were sent. No matter what, Xiao Liming was also Xia Xu's grandfather, so she did a pretty good job.

But, is this a bit too many? Although it is not the three palaces and six courtyards and three thousand beauties, it is definitely more than the seventy-two concubines.

"108 Eight!" Xia Qingqing only glanced at the specific number, a total of 108 concubines; including some greenhouse maids, she was also considered Xia Xu's personal personalities.

In addition, there are more than a dozen children of different sizes, the oldest is less than ten years old, and the youngest is still sipping breasts.

Seeing this, Xia Qingqing frowned. It was not because of the fact that she was frowning, but because she saw the future - Li Xian, don’t think about creating three palaces and six courtyards for me. Xia Qingqing is still very enthusiastic about these "sister-in-laws" now.

Before Xia Xu and Xiao Yu could speak, Xia Qingqing took the initiative to come out and welcome these "sister-in-laws" to another wing room for a while, waiting for the arrangements of her mother Xiao Yu.

Here, when Xia Qingqing came back, Xiao Yu was comforting Xia Xu. Xia Xu's emotions had stabilized and accepted the reality. But there was a problem - 108 wives and more than a dozen children, there would definitely be more children in the future; so many families, Xia Xu, who is just ordinary people, can't afford to support him.

He begged to Li Xian with a thick face? Of course it is feasible, but Xia Xu was once the eldest prince after all, so he couldn't help him. What could he do if he didn't ask for help from Li Xian?

"I'll talk to my husband and ask him to arrange something for you." Xia Qingqing took the initiative to speak. No matter what, Xia Qingqing and Xia Xu are also brothers and sisters. The relationship between the two cannot be considered very good, but at least it is not bad. This is already considered very good in the royal family; and Li Xian's token that entered the palace was provided by Xia Xu.

Xia Xu struggled for a while, but finally there was no objection. But Xia Xu said something, "Qingqing, you tell Li Xian that during the coup, Zhang Quan surrendered to... his grandfather and killed Yuan Caimingzhi, and he was the one who was behind the scenes."

Xia Qingqing was stunned at first, and then her face changed drastically! Although Xia Qingqing is not involved in Anyang's politics now, her political talent is not bad, and she is also very clear about some of Li Xian's relationships.

Li Xian, Yuan Zhao, Shangguan Yong and Zhang Quan were also considered "fox friends" at the time, and strictly speaking, they were also somewhat intimate. Yuan Zhao and the other two also helped the initial rise of the Brilliant Star Group. Yuan Cai was Yuan Zhao's biological brother. Now, Zhang Quan killed Yuan Cai, and this matter... is not good! It's not good!
