The friction between the two countries lingered for half a month. At first, the wife and children of Wu Guo's murdered deputy envoy were overwhelmed with grief, and they all died together.Therefore, Wu Guojian's court was outraged and wrote to the emperor to make Chu State pay for its debts with blood.

Then there is the border. Today, the chickens and ducks from the villages of Wu State ran to the homes of the people of Chu State, where they were slaughtered and stewed; and then they said that the kidnappers of Wu State took away the young children of Chu State, and it was inhumane to harvest and cut them up... Then It was a bloody conflict between the people, and then the border troops of the two countries exchanged fire.

The State of Wu gathered troops and marched northward to storm Chenzhou. When the news reached the capital of Chu State, the soldiers and civilians of Chenzhou had already defended for three days. If there was no support, they might fall to the enemy.

The court was in chaos.

The first is to argue about the main battle or the main peace.The war faction denounces the peacemakers, how can the enemy country condone provocations!National borders, not an inch of land!

The Zhuhe faction said that now that the country's various industries are prosperous and the people live in peace, even if they win a war with Wu, they will hurt the enemy by one thousand and themselves by eight hundred.Furthermore, the country is safe for a long time, and culture is more important than military. If we really want to fight, who will lead the army?

The heroic general Xu Rui was in his prime, but the Xu family and the Zhou family were related by marriage. Back then, the eldest son of the Zhou family was able to join the army in the name of his uncle. The generals of the three armies only recognized Xu Rui and Zhou Mo, and turned a blind eye to the other generals.

Now that the Xu family has another Concubine Xin, if she makes military achievements again, wouldn't it mean that the power is overwhelming and unmatched.

Let alone whether the emperor was worried about his courtiers' meritorious service, the mothers' families of the empresses in the harem had always been incompatible, but this time they were united.It's nice to say, Wu Guoxiao, how can he use a brave general to go out?Resolutely oppose the Xu family leading the army again.

There were endless quarrels in the court, and Emperor Kang Yuan felt his headache splitting from hearing this. He swept his sleeves and swept all the memorials on the case to the ground, "This is not suitable, and that is not usable. Is it possible that I will be satisfied with the imperial conquest!"

The emperor was over forty, and although he was always in good health, since the death of Mingyue Wolf, his mental and physical strength was not as good as before. He often felt dizzy and weak, and his temper became more irritable.

Seeing the emperor was furious, all the ministers stopped arguing in an instant, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Quiet your anger, calm your anger! It's useless for Wu Guo to provoke you, how can I not be angry! Who can lead the army to defend against the enemy! Is it possible that my Great Chu has reached the point where no one can use it!"

All the ministers bowed their heads and pretended to be dead, and the Minister of the Ministry of War came out and said: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the Great Chu, how can you take risks and conquest yourself. Now that several princes are close to weak crowns, especially King An Xin is entrusted by the emperor to be supported by the people. Father Jun shares his worries and fights for the people."

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers present had their own thoughts, and the emperor was shaken. He pressed his forehead and said: "The prince will lead the army on my behalf, and it will naturally boost morale. But, princes, none of them has the experience of leading troops in battle..."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment took advantage of the situation and said: "Although the princes have no experience, His Royal Highness King An is the head of the family, and he has been taught martial arts by His Majesty himself. He should take on this important task both emotionally and rationally. If King An is the commander-in-chief, it will make the Zhou family happy. As the deputy assistant. King An can set the army's heart, and Zhou Mo is resourceful. As for the vanguard lieutenants, etc., they will be allocated from the Ministry of War. In this way, our army will be invincible!"

Emperor Kang Yuan looked solemn when he heard the words, "Aiqing's words are reasonable. It seems that King An is indeed the best choice for the coach... Where is King An?" His eyes swept over all the ministers, but he did not see Fu Si.

Zhou Taifu replied: "A few days ago, the old minister assigned too much homework to King An. His Highness worked hard all day and night, and was sick and bedridden, so he never went to court."

Emperor Kang Yuan looked worried, "A strong man, why did he fall ill because of his studies? Could it be that he thought that I have a heavy responsibility for him, so he deliberately avoided it?"

Zhou Taifu's expression changed: "His Royal Highness definitely has no such intentions, and it is true that he cannot afford to get sick."

"Forget it, it's not today for the army to start. If you are sick, treat it!" Emperor Kang Yuan decreed, "Everyone in the Imperial Hospital must make King An recover quickly. If the opportunity to delay the battle is delayed, we will not forgive him!"

When Emperor Kang Yuan and his confidant ministers sang together in the court hall and set a circle for Fu Si to dance, the "ill" Fu Sizheng left the mansion in modest clothes. At the invitation of Fu Yi, he sat in the teahouse and listened to Mr. Shu's stories.

"It is said that 20 years ago, His Majesty, who was still the second prince, led me to destroy the barbarians on the grassland. A big fire burned for three days and three nights, and burned the vines and weeds into nourishment for the fertile soil. Ping, it is said that more than ten huge pits were dug just to bury the corpses. The grassland territory is divided equally between the two countries, and now the Woyuan of Chenzhou is nourished by the flesh and blood of these barbarians. Now that the war is on the rise again, my army will definitely..."

All the guests listened with great interest, but no one noticed the two young men in the corner.

"In that battle, your mother and Mingyue Xin were also buried in it?" Fu Si looked at Fu Yi who was sitting beside him, drinking tea and listening to a book calmly. There was a large scab of blood on his forehead - he called it a mistake to the emperor. He was injured by a fall, so he was exempted from going to court. In fact, only Fu Si knew how his injury came about, and even lamented how cruel he was to him.

Fu Yi sneered and said, "I'm so stupid. If they died 20 years ago, where would I come from? My heart died at that time, and my skin was still alive for a long time."

I am afraid that in his eyes, the whole world is an idiot. Fu Si is not serious with lunatics, and then said: "If you can defeat Wu in this battle, take back the grassland homeland and make it complete, your mother will probably be happy if she lives in heaven." .”

"Heh, is the land with the surname Fu still the homeland of the grassland?" Fu Yi shook his head and blew away the floating tea in the cup. Dead bodies strewn across the fields, bleeding and floating oars. When soldiers besieged the city and ran out of food and grass, they even exchanged their sons for food...Winning the king and defeating the enemy, the winner put on a gesture of benevolence and love for the people, and his name will go down in history...Aspiring to dominate, isn't it just a war. Isn’t that the only way to fight a war?”

Fu Yi's extremism is hopeless, Fu Si didn't intend to waste his time persuading him to turn around, but just said: "I know what the father's plan is. You father and son are messing up the world, but you let me fight with my life on the back of the saddle, I won't let you do what you want."

Fu Yi shook his head, "You will go, and you will go voluntarily. For the Fu family, for the state of Chu, and for the common people, you will throw your head and blood."

The author has something to say:

Fu Yi: Dead, but not completely dead.
