Chapter 289 (1/2)
At the same time, the Imperial Palace, Jinluan hall.
”That's outrageous! That's outrageous!”
On the throne, Emperor Xia was furious.
”The Zhou Dynasty deceived people too much. It was clear that it had just sent envoys to ask for marriage. In the twinkling of an eye, it tore my face and declared war with me. Even if it was courtesy before soldiers, it didn't do so!”
”Your Majesty, calm down.”
Some courtiers of the main war faction offered advice.
”Since the Zhou Dynasty deceived people too much, we don't need to be polite to him. If he wants to fight, fight with him!”
”You're right. I'm a great Xia Dynasty. How can I bear this humiliation? It's bound to give a head-on blow to the Zhou Dynasty!”
”The comprehensive national strength of the Zhou Dynasty is not as good as ours. We have no reason to be afraid of him. They must suffer together in the war.”
“……”
The ministers seconded one piece, and all the voices of asking for war were in the court for a moment.
Emperor Xia looked a little slow and said, ”we not only have to fight this battle, but also win it beautifully. Liu Shangshu, you plan to write a call against Zhou. I want to tell the world that I will send troops to fight against Zhou Dynasty with two allies...”
Before he finished speaking, an official suddenly ran into the Jinluan hall in a panic, bowed down to the emperor Xia and shouted anxiously:
”Your Majesty, another great event has happened!”
”After Zhou declared war on us, all the surrounding three countries, Han, Qin and Qi, also called for war on us! They... They seemed to have colluded in advance!”
As soon as the words came out, the whole hall suddenly became silent.
After a while, Xia Di regained his consciousness. He couldn't believe it: ”how is this possible?”
”It is still possible for the ROK to declare war, but the Qin Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty have always been our loyal allies. How can they also declare war?”
”What I said is true. How dare I deceive your majesty? Once the declaration of war of the three countries was issued, I immediately gathered a large army at the border. It was obvious that I had planned to invade soon!” the official made great efforts and was anxious.
All the ministers suddenly turned pale in an uproar. Everyone was in danger. None of them could keep calm.
Originally, only the Zhou Dynasty declared war, and they were not afraid at all, but now the other three countries also declared war at the same time, so they had to panic. The four nation coalition army can be said to be an unprecedented huge crisis in the Xia Dynasty. If one did not respond well, the destruction of the country was imminent.
”It is impossible for the four countries to form an alliance for no reason. In my humble opinion, the first priority for us is to find out the reasons for their alliance, and then divide the coalition forces at all costs!” the prime minister put forward his advice.
”Aiqing is right. This is a conspiracy against my summer. We can't wait to die. We must bring back the two major allies of Qin and Qi!”
”Immediately send envoys to Qin and Qi and tell Emperor Qin and Qi that I am willing to pay them double benefits no matter what promises the Zhou Dynasty has made!”
……
……
In just one morning, the news of the alliance of the four countries to declare war on the Xia Dynasty spread all over the cangxuan continent, and the government and the people were greatly shocked. In particular, the monarchs, officials and people of the Xia Dynasty were terrified. There were no eggs under the nest, for fear of being affected by the disaster of destruction.
”What kind of power can bring the four countries together to declare war on the Xia Dynasty?”
In the imperial mausoleum, Xia Wan'an looked at the sunset, and her two beautiful eyebrows were tightly locked together.
Like all civil and military officials, she also realized that the war was a terrible conspiracy against the Xia Dynasty, which would rewrite the situation of the five countries on the cangxuan continent.
The alliance of the four countries is incredible because the five imperial dynasties have coexisted for hundreds of years. In the past hundreds of years, the five countries have penetrated into each other through marriage and kinship. It can be said that you have me and I have you. Moreover, there are multiple Xiuxian sects under each imperial dynasty. If you want multiple imperial dynasties to jointly attack and destroy a imperial dynasty, It's almost impossible. Xia Wan'an can't think of anyone who will have this energy.
