contend

All eyes fell on Xia Houxu.

Obviously, Xia Houxu's words today will determine the future direction of Xia Kingdom.

"It's not the prince behind Du Duhu, but His Majesty. He has the right to fake a Yue. If His Majesty comes in person, are you going to disobey His Majesty's will?" Xia Houxu's voice became more severe than ever.

The country of Xia is isolated outside the territory, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which makes some people think that they shouldn't have.

Especially these two big victories made them even more ambitious.

But Xia Houxu knew that Xia Guo's achievement today was entirely supported by Da Qin.

"The last general dare not!" The eyes of the generals finally woke up.

The founding emperor has supreme prestige.

No matter how arrogant a person is, he dare not challenge the authority of the emperor.

What's more, there are Xuanyi Envoys and Jinyiwei all over the army, and the soldiers below may not follow them.

Xia Houxu said: "Du Duhu said that he is old enough to seek the country, and the Kangju tribe still gathers in the north. The army has no food and grass for two months. Sassan is different from Wusun and Kangju. The country is strong. There are strong cities everywhere in the river. Immediately The weather is turning cold, if the attack is not good, I will not return the piece of armor!"

In the last battle in the river, they were blocked by the Sasanian stronghold and returned without success.

During the past year or so, the Sasanians built many fortifications.

Although Qin Jun is brave, it is definitely difficult to open the situation in a hurry.

Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "Pass down the king's military order, the whole army rests, and those who make false statements about attacking the river—behead!"

"Wei!" The generals cupped their hands.

The military discussion dispersed, but the four brothers did not retreat.

Xia Houxu ordered his personal guards to stand guard outside the hall and strictly forbid anyone to approach.

"Elder brother, do you really want to win the heir?" Xia Houxu cut to the chase.

What I said just now was for people outside, but what I said now is naturally for my brothers.

The generals swelled, and there was more or less Yang Yi's connivance behind them.

"How can the prince compare with his elder brother? King Xia conquered half of the Western Regions, and King Xia has the support of Qianghu, Huns, and Xianbei from Yongliang, why can't he fight for it!" Li Xiang is more radical.

Others only know that he is powerful and tyrannical, usually carefree and unassuming, but they don't know that he is both civil and military, thick on the outside and delicate on the inside.

The hall immediately heard the needle drop.

In fact, today, this problem cannot be avoided.

If Yang Yi had no idea in his mind, he would be deceiving himself and others. With tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, he controlled the rich Qihe River Basin. After annexing Kangju, his subordinates had nearly 60 people. any difficulty.

A 25-year-old prince is at the age of youth and vigor.

Besides, seizing the heirloom does not mean raising troops immediately, there are various means.

As a prince, there are some things you can learn by yourself.

"Second, what do you think?" Li Xiang turned his gaze to Zhao Xiong.

At this time, Zhao Xiong became simple and honest, "Naturally follow Your Highness."

What he said was tepid, which made people think about it, but it always felt that something was wrong, and it seemed to be forced and helpless.

Zhao Xiong is not an ordinary person, his father is Zhao Aqi, the head of the Zhenfu Department, holding Daqin's sharpest knife in his hand.

If this doorway is cleared, what else can Da Qin and his subordinates hide from them?

But Zhao Xiong's attitude makes people a little uncertain.

"Your Highness, would you like to listen to my younger brother's frank words?" Xia Houxu asked sincerely.

"We've known each other since we were young, what else can't we say or listen to?" Yang Yi hasn't made a statement yet, which shows that he is also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Every time he thinks of his mother Jiang Alian's humble demeanor in front of Empress Xia Houzhi, he feels as if a thorn is stabbed in his heart.

Xia Houxu glanced at Zhao Xiong and Li Xiang and said, "If Your Highness wins the heir, he will definitely lose!"

The atmosphere in Tang Zhong solidified again.

Li Xiang licked his lips and wanted to say something, but Xia Houxu suddenly cast a sharp look, making him hold back all the rest of his words.

"Why did the third brother say that?" Yang Yi's eyes flickered, thinking that he was from Xiahou's family after all...

"From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the world has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years. People's minds are peaceful. This is the general trend. The name of the prince has been determined early. The Central Plains has returned to the heart, and the wings have been formed. He is not the prince of the past. Third, your highness must not forget that your majesty is a generation of saints." Your Majesty, you will never allow the past events of the Cao family to reappear in Daqin!"

Xia Houxu can be said to be deafening, and every word hits the point.

Yang Yi seems to be powerful, but compared with the Central Plains, he can't stand on the stage at all.

Yang Xu has not been the prince for nothing these years, and a large number of civil and military talents have gathered around him.

Cold sweat oozes from Yang Yi's forehead, and his father Yang Zheng is like a mountain pressing down on his head.

At this moment, Zhao Xiong, who had been silent all this time, said, "Actually, the Western Region is not bad. The land is fertile and the population is rich. Why do you want to go to the Central Plains? If your highness has ambitions, you can manage this place well. In the future... the emperor in the west is the same. !"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Haha, second brother, second brother, you are the one who really hides everything."

Zhao Xiong laughed dryly, "Your Highness is wise and mighty, and I will follow you to the death!"

Li Xiang's eyes flickered, "Second brother's strategy is not bad. In the future, Sassan will be destroyed, and he will be the emperor. The water in the Central Plains is too deep, and my brothers may not be able to wade through it."

Xia Houxu breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Yang Yi would become eternally hated if he was confused for a while.

Right now is the period of strategic opportunity for Daqin to attack Hezhong. Once there is internal disharmony, the great opportunity will be ruined. At that time, the emperor will definitely not be able to spare Yang Yi's past, and I don't know how many people will fall to the ground...

Fortunately, Yang Yi is not a willful person.

This is Daqin's blessing.

How many powerful and prosperous dynasties were destroyed by fighting in the same room.

If Cao Wei didn't have the kings seizing the heir, how could Sima Yi have a chance?

The four brothers discussed for a long time, and gradually dispelled the desire to seize the heir. In retrospect, life in Xia Kingdom was not bad, with no restraint, prosperity, wealth, fame and fortune.

It is extremely dangerous to embark on the road of seizing the heirloom.

Not to mention the Emperor Yang Zheng, even Du Yu, the Governor of Anxi, would be sad at this level...

Yang Yi can indeed fight, but there are many generals who can fight in Qin State...

The Qin army in Kangju stood still, defended various cities, and reformed the prisoners at the same time.

Most nomads have milk and are mothers. The Donghu in history is an aggregate, the Huns also annexed the grasslands one by one, and the same is true for Xianbei. In front of survival, nothing is important.

Yang Yi gave them food and kept them alive, so he became their reborn parents.

Xia Houxu took charge of government affairs and began to implement the land equalization system in the Qihe River Basin and the Kangju area.

This kind of move is considered unprecedented in the Western Regions.

The herdsmen were allotted their own pastures, and the farmers were allotted their own farmland. Everyone was happy and grateful to Daqin.

Xia Houxu organized the captives to build water conservancy, irrigate new fields, teach the farming techniques of the Central Plains, and turn the new fields and old fields that were left untended into military settlements for the captives to cultivate next year.

People's hearts gradually settled down.

Zhao Xiong recruited Kangju warriors, and with the Qin army as the backbone and officers, compiled a light cavalry force of 2 people.

The wounds of war were quickly healed.
