Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty, according to the reliable news we have just received, the old man Wu Zhuo of Changsha is dead. Changsha is leaderless. This is a great opportunity for us to counterattack!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity. If you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences!"

    In the Nanyue Palace in Panyu City, several generals were urging Zhao Tuo to send troops.

    Over the years, the two countries have been at odds with each other. Now Changsha is leaderless, and the King of Changsha has no son.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Once the Han Dynasty's court extirpated the Changsha Kingdom, the Han Dynasty's military power could reach the Five Ridges. At that time, it would be extremely difficult to make any effect!

    "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

    Zhao Tuo's face was calm and he looked at Lu Jia calmly.

    After all, if he sends troops to Changsha, he will immediately become enemies with the Han Dynasty. The consequences of a war between the two countries will be unpredictable. He still wants to see Lu Jia's reaction.

    "I think this is indeed a God-given opportunity, but if we want to send troops, can we wait a little longer? Only after the autumn grains are put into storage will we be more confident!"

    Lu Jia hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

    If the South Vietnamese country can really take advantage of the opportunity to take all the Five Ridges into their hands, it will indeed be a great thing for them.

    At that time, with the natural danger of Wuling, they can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and even if the situation is bad, they can maintain the current status quo.

    "It's just that when weapons and weapons are used together, it's not just the lives of soldiers that are killed."

    More importantly, what is being fought is the comprehensive national strength of the two countries!

    Whenever the two countries go to war, it will be a war involving hundreds of thousands of people.

    Whether South Vietnam can sustain such a war depends on the situation of this year's autumn harvest.

    Of course, more importantly, Zhao Tuo's recent attitude is too ambiguous, which makes Lu Jia a little undecided whether to send troops or not?

    "But Prime Minister, this opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back again!"

    As one of the most loyal generals under Zhao Tuo, Sima Yan was naturally eager to start the war at this time.

    As long as the country enters a state of war, Zhao Tuo can, as the King of South Vietnam, directly bypass Lu Jia and start issuing orders to officials at all levels.

    No matter what Zhao Tuo wants to do next, the resistance he will encounter will be much smaller.

    Over the years, Lu Jia has used his various connections to become unique in the South Vietnamese Dynasty, and there has been a faint tendency to compete with Zhao Tuo.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Tuo still has a group of loyal generals under his command, it is still uncertain whether the Nanyue Kingdom¡¯s surname is Zhao or Lu at this time

    Of course Lu Jia also knew where his weaknesses were. It was just that the king of Changsha, Wu Zhuo, was eyeing him in the north, and the Minyue Kingdom was constantly coveting in the east, so the two of them could live in peace on the surface.

    But in recent times, Lu Jia has used his own power to obtain a large amount of wealth from Zhao Wengu, which has caused his power to expand rapidly.

    The balance between the two sides is gradually breaking, and Zhao Tuo naturally becomes more and more afraid of Lu Jia.

    The relationship between the two parties has deteriorated sharply from the original harmony, so much so that now, Lu Jia is not even sure.

    ¡°If we really send troops to Changsha, will this old guy Zhao Tuo stab him in the back

    "Soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, do you think you don't know the truth? Even if the King of Changsha died, did the 50,000 troops on the Five Ridges ever move?"

    Lu Jia¡¯s words immediately left Sima Yan speechless.

    "Okay, let's listen to the Prime Minister! Let's wait until the autumn grains are put into the warehouse. It only takes a few days. However, the preparations can be started by then. Even if Jing is the emperor of the Han Dynasty,  After receiving the news, it will take a month to go back and forth!"

    Looking at Lu Jia¡¯s gloomy expression, Zhao Tuo said with a smile.

    "Your Majesty is wise!"

    "But is there anything else?"

    Zhao Tuo naturally didn¡¯t take it to heart about such worthless flattery.

    If I were really wise, the first thing I would do when I came to the throne would be to kill this old guy first!

    Seeing that the dispatch of troops had been temporarily postponed, Lu Jia stopped talking and just stood aside with his eyes closed to rest.

    Most of the civil servants in this court were his subordinates, and many of the remaining people were inextricably linked to him.

    ??Now at this time, watchingEven if they don¡¯t speak, who else dares to speak.

    What¡¯s more, what¡¯s going on outside?  Which of these people doesn't know it well?

    ¡°These people are all born into wealthy families, and the families behind them have reaped a lot of benefits from these storms.

    There are even powerful people who have left Zhao Wengu and the others behind and are speculating on the prices of goods.

    There are some smart people among these people, but as a person with vested interests, who would dislike having too much money in their pocket?

    However, the generals under Zhao Tuo are all stubborn, and they stay in the military camp every day.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that after I leave, my position will be taken away by Lu Jia¡¯s people.

    After this back and forth, even though the sky was almost falling apart outside, no one in the courtroom spoke.

    "Since everyone has nothing to do, let's leave today!"

    As he gets older, Zhao Tuo has been feeling a little helpless recently. When it comes to Youshi every day, he already feels low on energy and starts to feel drowsy.

    But no matter what, all the sons under his knees are useless, and the only son who is the most promising is still only in his weak years.

    Whenever he returns to his dreams at midnight, Zhao Tuo is often awakened by nightmares.

    In fact, the situation is now very clear. Once he dies, Lu Jia will probably rise up and call out.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it a joke to just rely on the generals under his command and let them play power games with Lu Jia?

    This made Zhao Tuo more determined to eradicate Lu Jia, but Zhao Tuo also understood that this kind of thing cannot be rushed!

    "We need to tighten up on the storage of autumn grains recently. You guys should all be smarter, so you don't get caught with anything at this time!"

    After leaving the palace and returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Jia directly pulled out all the principals of Hu Cao and beat them one by one.

    "These people's dirty hands and feet are not a matter of a day or two, but most of the copper coins they embezzled went into Lu Jia's pocket.

    At this time, Lu Jia naturally had no scruples talking to them.

    "Prime Minister, please rest assured. This is not the first time we have done this. Nothing will go wrong!"

    "Yes, sir, everything is done according to the rules, nothing will go wrong!"

    Although during this period of time, businesses throughout South Vietnam have continued to close down.

    However, due to the frequent buying and selling of goods during the hype, Hucao's income was even more generous than in previous years.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
