Chapter 329 Hot Potato
Guan Chong has been recuperating at home since the last incident.
Thanks to Xie Xunfeng's medication treatment.
His arrow wound healed much faster than expected.
After Xie Xunfeng left Longyang City, Guan Chong went to find his father.
He said that he was going to the court.
After all, he knew very well that his eldest brother was out there.
It would be very uncomfortable if someone was holding you back.
He just wanted to protect his elder brother in his own way.
What he didn't expect was.
After he entered the court, his elder brother did not give these ministers any chance to do bad things...
Xie Xunfeng captured one city after another with great force.
Until recently, Daxia had taken over half of Dazhou.
This shocked the entire government and the country.
Until today, a group of ministers were heard speaking.
His mouth finally found its place.
Guan Chong looked at the ministers standing beside him, pointed at their noses and cursed, "Why don't you understand? Didn't you say that my eldest brother has committed treason? Swear on your mother... If you swear on your mother, I will listen to you..."
"Your Majesty...Prince Guan...Prince Guan is so vulgar...Your Majesty, please expel him from the court...He actually said such vulgar words in such a sacred place..."
Guan Chong bowed to Xiao Shentian and said, "Your Majesty, I am really angry... Everyone has witnessed the contributions of Xie Zhizi and the Fourth Prince... They used the army on Yuntai Mountain to achieve such an extraordinary feat, which is simply a great achievement... How could someone dare to bite them... If such people are not dealt with... Your Majesty, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will be disheartened... Those who fought for the court have to suffer such an insult..."
"On the contrary, it is these people who are in the court and receive salaries who don't know how to be grateful..."
After listening to this, Xiao Shentian smiled and said, "Prince Guan is right... Xie Zhizi and the Fourth Prince are both masters of military strategy. Even I feel that I am not as good as them... Therefore, they must have a reason to hold on at this time..."
"From today on, if anyone accuses me without any evidence, I will not let him off easily!"
Every word Xiao Shentian said made his attitude clear.
At this time, Prince Gao, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, what Prince Guan said is right... But Prince Guan has been in a series of big battles now, and I am afraid that although their men are full of fighting spirit, they must be exhausted. I think we can let the Gao family army go to support them..."
"Not only the Gao family army, our Wei family army can go... Our Wei family army has been waiting at the border for a long time... As long as Your Majesty says a word, our Wei family army can also go to support immediately..."
"We, the Lin Family Army, can also..."
"We can also..."
As they were talking, seven or eight old princes came forward.
These princes also heard that Gao Zhongbo was coming.
They were also afraid of missing out on the opportunity to grab territory...
Therefore, these people came here one by one in a hurry.
They claim that they want to contribute to the country.
However, Xiao Shentian was also very clear that these old princes were guys who would not do anything without benefits.
Now we see that half of the Great Zhou has been attacked.
They all wanted to grab the territory...
Xiao Shentian said to all the princes, "Everyone...everyone...your princes, I understand your feelings of serving the country wholeheartedly...but Xie Xunfeng and Xie Zhizi all have their own plans. Since he did not come to our court for help...we should not ruin his plan! I understand the feelings of all the princes who are serving the country wholeheartedly..."
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, the princes were reluctant to say anything...
Until after the court was dismissed.
The old princes all went to the Queen Mother's residence.
The Queen Mother looked at the group of old princes.
"Everyone, didn't I tell you earlier? Be patient... Be patient..."
"Queen Mother, you don't know... Weishui is the last line of defense of the Great Zhou... If this line of defense is breached, Xie Xunfeng and his army will be like a dragon entering the sea... There will be no chance for us..."
"Yes, Queen Mother, if we go there now, we can still get a share... But if we don't go now... Then, there really will be nothing for us to do... His Majesty has made it very clear in the palace today... He won't let us get involved... Queen Mother, you are our backbone..."
"Do you think that he will be able to capture Weihe? I just don't believe that their Great Zhou Kingdom, which is as famous as our Great Xia, was defeated by Xie Xunfeng's 100,000 old, weak and sick people? You... are just confused by appearances..." The Queen Mother always had a calm smile on her face.
"Queen Dowager, do you mean that they can't take it down?" a prince said to the Queen Dowager.
The Queen Mother nodded to the prince with a smile and said, "That's right... Don't you guys use your brains? Although Xie Xunfeng has won victories along the way... But what they actually fought was an army of 200,000... But they didn't hurt the Great Zhou at all. Moreover, he used lightning tactics. After the battle, he didn't occupy the city... What does this mean? This means that Xie Xunfeng and his men took these cities to gain confidence when negotiating with the Great Zhou in the future..."
"You are all veterans of the battlefield. You should know very well how many soldiers are needed to defend a city after it has been captured."
"So, even though Xie Xunfeng has won a great victory... but with the current strength of our Great Xia, we simply cannot take over so much territory..."
After hearing the Queen Mother's analysis, everyone calmed down.
"Queen Dowager, what you mean is that... even though Xie Xunfeng conquered so much territory, he couldn't hold it at all?" a prince said.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are the only ones who are so anxious... as if you are afraid of missing out on something good... Do you believe it now, Xie Xunfeng is thinking about which sucker will accept his hot potato... He is now eager for someone to take over..."
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, everyone seemed to have a hint of doubt.
The Queen Mother said to everyone, "Just wait and see... The Emperor has probably listened to Concubine Feng and has asked Concubine Feng's sworn brother Scar Liu to take over the front line... Xie Xunfeng and the Fourth Prince will be successful... But Scar Liu will be in trouble... You are all not young anymore, why are your minds still so simple..."
