Chapter 618: The only choice

The meeting hall of the government office seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Wang Xi's angry reprimand made Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao both pale, as if they were about to swear.
However, Cui Zhang still had a trace of sobriety in his mind. In front of the overall situation, he calmed down and said to Wang Xi: "Wang Shilang, don't forget what we are doing in Qingzhou today?"
Wang Xi suddenly woke up. It was only then that he reacted to Xiao Ming’s provocation. Now that Wang Zhao entered the capital to order the world, the two of them took the opportunity to seize the royal state and county. The three direct conflicts, because Zhao Wang once reprimanded the two. People seek rebellion and let them surrender the city.
The two of them naturally did not agree. Zhao Wang took so much advantage, and they also didn't want to suffer.
The three of them calmed down and looked at Xiao Ming at the same time. In fact, they had only one purpose to control Xiao Ming, that is, the imperial family of Xiao Ming. If the king of Wei conquered Qi, they would also send troops.
Now that Xiao Ming’s words have forced them to the corner, Cui Zhang completely tore off his disguise, he said: "His Royal Highness, the three of us came to Qingzhou today not to discuss with His Highness, but to inform His Highness that if His Highness does not hand it over. In the 13 states of Weidi, we must join forces to fight against His Highness."
"In that case, this king is waiting for you under Yunzhou City!" Xiao Ming's tone was also very tough. He knew very well that he and the three families would end up endlessly in the end, and the king of the different surname would eventually completely exterminate the royal family.
If he surrendered the Thirteen States of Weidi, it would only go to extinction faster.
Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao’s hearts trembled. At this time, Xiao Ming’s face was firm, and his eyes revealed an indisputable color. For Cui Zhang, the situation he most hoped was of course that Xiao Ming took the initiative to hand over the thirteen states, but now It seems that this is impossible.
Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other at this time. Today these three companies are a bit too arrogant. They are no longer negotiating, but directly forcing them to give up the captured Weidi.
Not to mention that Xiao Ming would not agree to this matter, even the soldiers would not agree to it. How could the territories they shed blood and tears let them go.
Xiao Ming's tough attitude silenced the three of them.
Before seeing Xiao Ming, they were confident that they could make Xiao Ming give in, but now it seemed impossible.
If so, they have only one last option.
"His Royal Highness, in this case, we have retired." Cui Zhang first stood up and walked out.
Then Wang Xi and Zheng Hao also got up and left.
After the three of them had left, Zhan Xingchang said: "His Royal Highness, this matter has long been talked about. When we tore up the truce contract, we knew that there would be such a day, and even without this truce contract, the three of them would like to raise their troops. Come against us, the only worry now is whether the barbarians will get involved."
Xiao Ming frowned. He slowly said, "Today, the situation in the north can only be broken through a war. Whether it is the Three Kings or we first, the result is the same."
"His Royal Highness is saying so, so it is useless to say more. Now we can only face this crisis." Zhan Xingchang said.
When Xiao Ming came here today, he still had a glimmer of hope, but Cui Zhang's words completely awakened him. The point he said was not the truce contract, but the Thirteen States of Wei Di. This was his goal.
Pang Yukun nodded. When he mentioned this to Xiao Ming yesterday, he had no hope of this discussion. Today, the three of Cui Zhang and Cui Zhang sat together in a non-discussing tone.
Now he finally understood why Xiao Ming wanted him to delay the time as much as possible, but in this way, he couldn't use normal means to delay the time for the three to return to the country.
So he said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, the three of us will definitely return to the country at this time, but the weapons we sent to the Shu area will take time. The lower officials are preparing to stop foreigners from leaving the city with the public opinion of arresting thieves. What does your Highness think?"
"Well, this method is good, the three of them will definitely jump." Xiao Ming smiled when he heard the words, Pang Yukun was getting darker.
Zhan Xingchang smiled bitterly and shook his head. The two countries are fighting without being cut. This is the only way to deal with these three people. But remembering one thing, he said: "His Royal Highness, King Shu is the brother of the same father and mother. , And the king of Shu has been loyal to the king of Chu. At this time, the king of Shu is in trouble, and the king of Chu must be equally impatient. His Royal Highness should inform the king of Chu. In this way, only the king of Chu will help the king of Shu to hold the king of Zhao and deal with the kings of Yan and Liang. Can do it with ease."
"This king has this intention. You have to go for this matter. King Chu learned that the three companies were going to attack me and would definitely send troops to Shu. After all, in King Chu's view, the entire south was his back garden. Will allow King Zhao to get a share."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhan Xingchang nodded.
This matter was decided, and Zhan Xingchang went back to prepare to send an envoy to Chu land to let King Chu send troops to Shu land~EbookFREE.me~ He asked Pang Yukun to continue preparing for the assistance to King Shu.
After explaining these two things, Xiao Ming went to the palace.
This time he flatly rejected Cui Zhang's request, and a northern war was inevitable.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand the art of compromise, but that he was also forced to a corner. Even if Wei Di was handed over within three years, they would still attack him together. As the so-called Spring and Autumn Unjust War, the situation in Great Yu is also There will be no just war.
Strength will ultimately determine everything.
It is precisely because of this that he will win the 13 states of Wei State. Now he has food and grass, a population, and firearms. The human sea tactics are no longer so terrible to him. Now add Wei Di and Feng The population of the country basically reached six to seven million people.
Weijia Restaurant.
Cui Zhang and the three people have come back here after coming out of the government office, and all three of them have a heavy expression this time. Without the domineering color at first.
Going upstairs, the three of them arrived in Cui Zhang's room tacitly. After hesitating, Cui Zhang said: "When I mentioned that the soldiers came to crusade, Xiao Ming had no fear on his face. This is really surprising."
"Perhaps you think Xiao Ming is too simple. When Xiao Ming had only 20,000 people under his hand, he dared to fight hundreds of thousands of barbarians in Cangzhou and Jizhou. How can he be afraid of us today?" Wang Xi said lightly.
Zheng Hao also had the same worry. They believed that Xiao Ming would be afraid when Xiao Ming did not take a strong stand, because the first time Xiao Ming signed a truce under their threat, they would never have thought that Xiao Ming was just Will count.
"Xiao Ming will die in our hands sooner or later. It is better to destroy him while he is still young than when he completely merges Wei Di into the sealed country. This time we should work together and we will definitely kill Xiao. Ming, as a result, this great Yu country will no longer have a royal person who can compete with us."
