The card draw is not ruthless, and the gate of the house is unstable

Shadow Country, Imperial Capital.

Above the court hall, all the ministers were discussing the battle in Yunli City.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that after five years of development, the State of Zhao is no longer the State of Zhao it was five years ago."

"Before, when the people of Zhao State didn't have enough to eat and didn't have enough clothes to wear, Ningyuan Kingdom had fought against them for eight full years, but it still couldn't increase the country's land by a single point."

"Nowadays, if you want to eat a piece of Zhao Guo's meat, it will be even more difficult."

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and another young courtier came out, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should seek peace!"

The young emperor in the high position said angrily: "This battle hasn't officially started yet, why are they all starting to sing bad news one by one!"

"Although the country of Zhao is rich and powerful, if all the countries around us unite, how can the country of Zhao be against us!"

After a moment of silence, the old courtier continued:

"Your Majesty, even though all the countries are united to attack, Zhao Guo will definitely not be able to resist."

"But with so many countries, not everyone is willing to be an enemy of Zhao."

"Take the Qiang Kingdom this time as an example. Although they also reached an agreement with the Ningyuan Kingdom, they have only sent troops to suppress the border since the start of the war, and have not started a war with the Zhao Kingdom."

"As for us three times, first the hermits led by Master Li were wiped out in Yunli City."

"Afterwards, 15 troops led by General Fu attacked Yunying City and found nothing."

"Later, the emperor sent 6 troops to Yunli City to encircle Ningyuan Kingdom. The result of the battle was that the [-] troops lost as much as [-], and only a few thousand troops remained."

"It is considered unfavorable if the teacher fails to succeed."

Thinking of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died, the old courtier was heartbroken.

Kneeling down, he begged: "Your Majesty, let's seek peace, a long war is not suitable for Yingguo!"

"Summary! Summoning! Summoning!!!"

The young emperor swept the battle report on the table to the ground.

"The war has only just begun, why are you all advocating for peace! Could it be possible that I can be wrong if I want to expand the territory?"

The courtier who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, it is not wrong to expand the territory, but now Zhao Guo's army is strong and horses are strong, it is not a good time to start a war."

"These three battles, can't you explain it? Please think twice, Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and argued: "The first time was when white light fell from the sky, the second time was when Zhao Guo sent troops to support it, and the third time was when Zhao Guo used poison."

"These are all coincidences and luck. May I ask which country has not spent a lot of money fighting for cities since ancient times?"

"The loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can scare you?"

"There is no need to mention the matter of peace, retreat!"

The emperor shook his hands and left, leaving only a group of courtiers shaking their heads and sighing.

The old minister who had just persuaded him to make peace got up and sighed:
"If it had been..."

"Master Prime Minister!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the minister beside him.

Prime Minister Yingguo shook his head again, but did not continue what he had just said.

After the Emperor Yingguo left the court, he summoned the mighty general and asked him to lead 10 troops to Yunye City.

Although he still wanted to attack Zhao Guo, he was not going to send troops to Yunli City.

I always feel that Yunli City is a bit mysterious.

The two times they sent people there suffered heavy losses.

So he decided to specialize in Yunying City.

Although the strength of Zhao State is indeed very strong, with a large land and a large population, and strong national strength.

But when the troops were scattered, he didn't believe that he couldn't tear open the hole in Yunying City.

Previously, he thought of making a false move, making Zhao Guo think that they were going to attack Yunying City.

In fact, the target is Yunli City.

But it was not successful, and more than 100 hermits were lost.

Now only Li Mo and his subordinates who don't care about life and death are left.

Now I am not going to work hard for the attack on Zhao Guo.

I don't know what Li Mo is thinking.

But Li Mo is not under his control, so he has nothing to do with Li Mo's affairs.

Thinking that the manpower in Li Mo's hands is gone, if you don't participate, then don't participate.

If there is more of him, there is no more, and if there is less of him, there is no less.

War is not determined by one person.

Putting aside these matters of border defense, His Majesty Yingguo thought of what the old prime minister had said.

Although he did not advocate seeking peace, what the old prime minister said was not unreasonable.

Right now, only Ningyuan Kingdom, Qiang Kingdom and their Ying Kingdom are at war with Zhao Kingdom.

The Qiang Kingdom only confronted Zhao Guo's soldiers approaching the city, and did not really launch a war.

It seems that it is necessary for him to send someone to Nanyuan.

Convince the Saintess of Nanyuan Kingdom to let her send troops to fight together.

The emperor looked aside and said, "Ambassador Xuan came to see me."

"Yes."

Hearing this, the eunuch who was waiting at the side immediately came out from the shadows and bowed to leave.

After the eunuch left the room, he summoned one of the eunuchs at the door.

The gatekeeper eunuch came over and asked, "Eunuch An?"

Eunuch An listened, "The emperor summoned the ambassador, you go and pass a message."

"Yes."

The eunuch nodded, then turned around and went out to find the ambassador.

After the person left, Eunuch An looked around.

He said to another person who was watching: "Wait here, I'll go out for a while."

The eunuch guarding the gate nodded.

Eunuch An left to one side.

Not long after, Eunuch An came back.

Ask the eunuch guarding the gate, "Does the emperor call for someone?"

The eunuch shook his head, "No."

Eunuch An nodded, then walked to the other side and waited.

After a while, the ambassador came.

Mr. An opened the door and walked in, "Your Majesty, the ambassador is here."

"Let him in."

The emperor's voice came from above.

Hearing this, Eunuch An bowed and retreated.

Eunuch An didn't go in again, but stayed outside.

I don't know what the emperor and the chief ambassador said, but after three breaths, the chief ambassador came out.

Eunuch An stepped forward and saluted the ambassador.

"Ambassador, go slowly."

The ambassador stopped Eunuch An from raising his legs.

"Eunuch An stop."

Eunuch An nodded, and opened the door to enter after the ambassador walked away.

Shadow Country, Li Wang Mansion.

In the main courtyard, a gentle and refined man stood with his hands behind his hands.

After the voice of the person behind him fell, it took a long time before he spoke:
"So, not only did the emperor not agree to seek peace today, but he also sent a mighty general to lead an army of [-] to Yunying City?"

"Yes."

The person behind the man bowed his head and replied.

"I see, let's go."

"Subordinates retire."

After the people behind left, the man looked in the direction of the palace and murmured: "This is the last chance."

Prime Minister's House.

After the prime minister came back from court, a girl in blue came up to him and asked, "Father, what's the result?"

The prime minister shook his head.

He sighed and said, "The emperor is in the main battle, and he doesn't want to ask for peace."

The girl was puzzled, "Since the start of the war, Yingguo has been losing soldiers and generals, but Zhaoguo has not suffered much damage."

"The weather is extremely cold now, and disasters are very likely to occur. Why not temporarily truce?"

The prime minister sighed again, "Even you have thought of this, but the emperor didn't listen to it at all."

"The Zhao Kingdom will never fall in the short term, and it will definitely be a protracted battle if we continue to fight."

"At that time, let alone whether there will be a real disaster, the food and grass for the soldiers at the border cannot be guaranteed."
