96.

There are always clouds that can cover the sun, and there is no one to worry about even if you don’t go to the west.

Dao continued:"Once the little prince's 50,000 troops leave the Luoba Kingdom, will the Luoba Congress let go of this golden opportunity? The rear is empty. If they join forces with the Rakshasa Kingdom to launch an attack, it won't take long to reach the west. I am afraid that the Xilu Army will be destroyed before they can enter the hinterland of the Dongfu Kingdom." Dao Zhi said.

"Knowing so much about the deployment of our vassal army, how many spies do Dongfu have in our country?"King Xilu

"Dongfu Kingdom is not interested in the affairs of Xilu Kingdom. If you are worried about spies, you can go and investigate. However, there are many ministers loyal to Xilu Kingdom in Dongfu Kingdom, and everyone knows it."Daozhi

"Your Majesty, the Luoba Kingdom has always been on good terms with us, and the queen is the sister of the Luoba King. I think they will not go to war with us?"Little Prince

"Do you really think that the Luoba Kingdom has no reason to destroy the Xilu Kingdom? King Xilu probably didn’t think so. Daozhi then asked the third prince:"Even if there is another war, the third prince has fought with our Dongfu Army and has seen the combat power of the Dongfu Army with his own eyes. I wonder what your Highness thinks of the Dongfu Army's armor?""

"Father, the armor worn by the Dongfu Army soldiers is indeed invulnerable, and the weapons they use cut iron like clay. They are all brave, and they are not incompetent.……"Tao

"Shut up."King Xilu

"This time, the 250,000-strong army of Xilu Kingdom was defeated miserably before they even fully entered the territory of Dongfu Kingdom. Today's Dongfu Army is no longer what it used to be. Soldiers' armor is usually made of cowhide, preferably cowhide that is over 20 years old. Generals' armor is made of wild boar skin, but wild boar skin is too hard and not flexible enough to wear. Among the Blue Lake countries, Luoba is the most famous for its iron stone and iron-smelting skills. Before Luoba became the overlord of Blue Lake, it was not because it had mastered the art of refining refined steel. Everyone should know that there is no iron and stone in Dongfu Kingdom, and the wild boars in the high mountains and dense forests of Luoba Country have only listed these two items as prohibited materials under the Blue Lake Treaty, while Xilu Kingdom has already ordered the Blue Lake countries to ban the sale of them to Dongfu Country. Aren’t you surprised that there are these things in Dongfu Country?"Daozhi gave them some time to think.

"I believe you already have the answer. Why did Luoba country secretly sell these to Dongfu country? The purpose is obvious. The Xilu Kingdom has always had supervisors in various countries. Why is it that the supervisors in the Luoba Kingdom are not aware of it?

Daozhi turned to the minister and said,"What do you think?" Do you still think they have no other ideas? They may forget how the Xilu Kingdom was founded. Will they also forget the battle that caused them to lose their dominance 60 years ago?"

Everyone present knows the past grievances between the two countries, and they all understand that the current harmony is just superficial. No one can guarantee that the Luoba country has no disloyal intentions, and they are always on guard against the Luoba country.

"You might as well imagine what would happen if the positions of Luoba Kingdom and Xilu Kingdom were reversed, and Xilu Kingdom became a vassal territory again? Most of the courtiers standing here are secretly loyal to King Luoba. You may still be prosperous and wealthy if you change your allegiance to another king, but what about King Xilu? If King Xilu is unwilling to condescend, I don’t know if the royal family can still exist. However, there is a real example in front of you that may be used as a reference. The fate of King Yifan, his family was ruined, and even if he did not die, he would never see the light of day for the rest of his life. Spent in prison. I believe that as the first king of Blue Lake, King Xilu is naturally broad-minded and flexible. Of course, he can put down his dignity and compromise with him and become a puppet king, just like King Daying and others. Thinking about how King Xilu has treated them over the years, how King Luoba will treat King Xilu when the time comes. I wonder if King Xilu is mentally prepared? Perhaps all the important ministers are ready to be loyal to King Luoba. What do you think, old prince and young prince?"Daozhi's expression was calm. Everyone felt that they were in his calculations. He was thoughtful and unquestionable.

"You are talking nonsense, how can we be loyal to King Qiroba?"Prime Minister

"Your Majesty, there is no need to listen to his fallacies and kill him."Little Prince

"This person is an alarmist and should not be taken lightly."Left Prime Minister

……

"Whether it’s heresy or alarmist, you are all important ministers of the Xilu Kingdom. You can’t be fooled by words in this grand hall. But you might as well think about it for now. I don’t know anything else. The former Minister of the Ministry of War of the Dongfu Kingdom and today The Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Work, you know very well who they are loyal to? is that so?" Daozhi noticed the ugly expressions of the ministers, then turned around and looked at the courtiers on both sides and said:

"Do you, ministers, think you are nobler than them? It's easy to talk about it, but when the situation is over and the knife is at your throat, I think you will have changed more thoroughly than they did. Maybe some people still have some sense of integrity. Everyone here is not rich and has three wives and four concubines at home. Some are old and some are young. When the time comes, I am afraid that they will be unable to control themselves. King Xilu did not dare to try, and the ministers did not dare to be tested. How many important ministers and family members of Dongfu Kingdom are here? You should have already registered them."

"So, what is the wisdom of Tao?"King Xilu.

Dao Zhi stared at the splendid hall. Here, here, the order of Blue Lake was re-established 60 years ago. In the past 60 years, major affairs on Blue Lake have been decided here. Here is where all the decisions are made. The most coveted palace for power-obsessed careerists, even entering here is a great honor.

Dusk has arrived, and although the golden light of Nuoda's palace is still there, it is a little tired. The eagles and bulls on both sides are heroic and majestic. , but already stiff.

Then Daozhi's voice suddenly became louder:"If the East and West countries fight, they will both lose, and if they make peace, they will both benefit. Some people hope that the East Fu Kingdom and the West Lu Country will fight to the death. No matter who wins or loses, There will not be a winner, Luoba Kingdom, Daying Kingdom and Rakshasa Kingdom will be the ultimate winners. The astrologers of Xilu Kingdom must have observed the changes in starlight. Xilu Star is still bright, but there is a star rising in the east. Two stars in the east and west coexist. When they compete, they will be dark, but when they join, they will shine together. The country of Xilu is full of talents. If no one tells King Xilu, it can only mean that King Xilu has neglected his employment and is surrounded by useless people who are just sycophants."

"Dongfu Country wants to be equal to our Xilu Country and share the Blue Lake equally."King Xilu

"The Dongfu Kingdom has no intention of dividing the Blue Lake equally. The river is vast and the waves are endless, and the Blue Lake is big enough to accommodate the two countries, Xilu and Dongfu. With Xilu Star as the main star and Dongfu Star as the supplement, it illuminates the night sky of Blue Lake. However, Dongfu Kingdom can no longer interfere in the affairs of the court. Dongfu Army has the right to fight in the Blue Lake. Farming is not hindered, and commerce and trade are not restricted. Maliciously slandering Dongfu Country, and even inciting neighboring countries to provoke Dongfu Country, Dongfu Country just wants to make its people live a better life, and the Blue Lake is still the Blue Lake of Xilu Country."Daozhi

"So, Dongfuguo wants one-third of the Blue Lake?"King Dongfu

"Now Dongfu State has one-third of the strength above Blue Lake, and it is not coveting anything else, but just wants to get back the rights and interests it can have."Daozhi

"Is this going to change the Blue Lagoon Treaty?"King Xilu

"The Blue Lake Treaty does not need to be changed. It is just that Dongfu Kingdom and Xilu Kingdom make a separate new treaty. Dongfu Kingdom is no longer restricted by the Blue Lake Treaty and promises that the two countries will not harm each other. If the interests of the two countries are involved, they will discuss and decide together. Let’s work together for good."Daozhi

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."Prime Minister

"If King Xilu had other choices, I would not waste my words here. The 100,000 prisoners of war of Xilu Kingdom are in the hands of King Dongfu. With time, they will be tamed, and with the 250,000 Dongfu army, Blue Lake may really be divided equally. If After joining forces with the Luoba Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom also took the opportunity to join in. Attacked from three sides, how much chance does the Xilu Kingdom have to win? I am afraid that the other half will have to be given up by then. Others may not dare to think about it, and neither does King Luoba. Dare you? Will the Rakshasa King hesitate? The people of the Luoba Kingdom always believed that he should be the overlord of the Blue Lake. No matter whether he could be restored or not, King Luoba would not let it go as long as there was a slight chance. The Rakshasa Kingdom and the Xilu Kingdom had a long-standing grudge. When he comes to Xilu Country, no matter how serious or serious it is, King Rakshasa will not hesitate at all."Daozhi

"How can I trust you?"King Xilu

"Me coming alone to send back the third prince is enough to show the goodwill of King Dongfu. I have received instructions from King Dongfu, and I know very well that King Dongfu is unable and has no intention to dominate the Blue Lake, and has no intention of challenging King Xilu's position. Dongfu has never taken the initiative to provoke a war, and has never advocated solving problems through war. Dongfu is a country of food. What the Country of Rice wants is peace, and Blue Lake is stable, not turbulent. The words are unfounded. After the treaty between the two countries is signed, the Dongfu Kingdom can return the prisoners of war. With these soldiers, the Xilu Kingdom's position in the Blue Lake can be stabilized and the Blue Lake Treaty can be maintained. This fully shows the sincerity of King Dongfu. It is enough to reassure King Xilu. If he is still not at ease, he can get rid of the commander of the Luoba Defense Force. He has fought alongside me. This man is brave and knows the art of war. Unfortunately, his strategy is not good. His character is a little impatient and violent. He is known for his His lifelong ambition is to restore the glory of his ancestors."Daozhi

"How to recover?"Right Prime Minister

"Wherever his ancestors fell, he would stand up there. He hated the Xilu Kingdom extremely in his heart, and had a sworn hatred with the Xilu Army. It was his idea to interact with the Rakshasa Kingdom, which would definitely be the source of disaster in the future."Daozhi

"The Luoba country is our friendly country. Why would this king remove a high-ranking defense force commander from another country?"

"In the Eastern Expedition to Dongfu Kingdom, the imperial court only sent a prince. Of course, the commander of the Luoba Defense Force did not need to bother King Xilu."Daozhi

"how do I say this?"

"Dongfu Kingdom has never interfered in the affairs of other countries. As the Secretary of the Ministry of War of Dongfu Kingdom, it is naturally inconvenient for me to discuss the court affairs of Xilu Kingdom and the family affairs of King Xilu."After Daozhi finished speaking, he paused and then added the words"King Xilu's family affairs".
