"Yang Xian! Yang Xian!"

In the Wu Palace in Gusu, Hou Tao walked back and forth in the palace, bursting with anger.

Hou Tao's anger was beyond words, and the ministers and brothers of Wu in the palace could feel it.

For Hou Tao, there were two times when he was the most angry and humiliating in his life.

The first time was when the Wu army took advantage of the defeat of the Liang army in Zhou Nan and headed north to Xuzhou. That time, the Wu army designed for Huan Wu and the entire army was wiped out, and the Wu Lord also died in Xuzhou.

That time, Huanwu sent an edict in the name of the emperor. Not only did Hou Tao not be able to kill Liang's envoy, but he also had to kneel in front of the edict with everyone, thank him for his kindness, and endure Huanwu's warnings and great humiliation.

Another time is this time. If Huan Wu was secretly hurt, Yang Xian would have scolded him openly.

The Hou family of Gusu is a despicable villain. They steal the master's foundation and occupy the country and territory privately. They do not respect the instructions and dare to violate the emperor's order! On the day of the order, they will come to the capital to see you. If they refuse to follow, the king's army will attack him.

But the problem is that the open scolding made Hou Tao’s house more angry than the secret damage. So that Zhou Envoy had been gone for three days, but Hou Tao’s anger still did not disappear.

Yang Xian's words in the edict were obviously not taking Hou Tao seriously. Not only that, he also hurt Hou's family and even scolded him like a son. His attitude was arrogant and his words were rude.

Hou Shen seized the foundation of Yan's family, which is an indelible stain. But the question is, if Yang Xian was written in the emperor's edict in a noble manner, was he afraid that people would not know that the edict was written by him?

Whenever Hou Tao saw his ministers and discussed the country's affairs, he would scold Yang Xian first.

"Yang Xian is arrogant and domineering, even more so than Huan Wu back then. The king's army attacked him? Humph! I want to see how he attacked me through Chu State?"

Hou Tao was brave and thoughtful, but now he said these words openly before the ministers and brothers, which shows how angry he was.

"Brother, the Zhou army is so powerful that there is no difference in the world. As strong as Emperor Liang, I can only move the capital to avoid it for a while. I heard that after the Zhou army obtained Nanyang, three routes of Qi advanced to the State of Chu and forced Cai Tong, the Duke of Chu to be the minister. Our envoys should have arrived in Chu. Cai Tong was stubborn and would not be willing to be the minister of Yang Xian. He should agree to cooperate with us."

Hou Tao's second brother Hou Zhi walked out of the queue and bowed and said.

The alliance between Wu and Chu was established under the powerful pressure of the Liang army. Since the Liang army was defeated in Zhou Nan and the momentum of annexing the world was gone, the gap between Wu and Chu became deeper and deeper.

At the most dangerous time, the Wu and Chu army almost broke out. Although the war was not ignited in the end, the tacit understanding established between Wu and Chu countries in the past has disappeared.

But this time it was different. Yang Xian's arrogance made the Wu and Chu army possible to get together again. Even, they brought the Liang army together to form an encirclement net against the Zhou army.

"Brother, are you more cautious about this?"

Hou Quan walked out and bowed and said.

"It's not that we are not cautious, it's that Yang Xian bullies others too much!"

Hou Tao knew what Hou Quan meant, Huan Qing was a tiger, Cai Tong was a wolf, and the size of the two countries destined that Wu should be careful when dealing with them. Now that the Liang army is weak, the Chu army is even more powerful, so what are the benefits of cooperating with them?

"Didn't you see how Yang Xian wrote in the edict? I want me to go to Beijing to repent. Ha! What a prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He, Yang Zizhan, really thought he was invincible in the world and no one was his opponent? I want to see, what can Yang Xian do to me!"

Just as Hou Tao finished his words, a trumpet sounded outside the Wu Palace palace, which was a situation that only occurred when there was an emergency military situation.

In the palace, the crowd was in a terrifying mood.

The armored soldier entered the palace and hurriedly bowed and said.

"Lord, the 6th doctor of Tiger, Jian Song, has rebelled!"

"What did you say?"

"Jian Song has gathered 30,000 troops to seize five cities of our country. The lord is very powerful. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

The words of this soldier made the entire palace fall into silence. Jian Song is an important official of the Wu State and has always been obedient. Why did it suddenly become difficult? He did not reveal any news in advance.

More importantly, the elite soldiers of the Wu Kingdom gathered in Gusu. Jian Song's 30,000 troops were no match for the Wu army at all. What confidence did he have to resist Hou Tao's encirclement?

"Why did Jane Song rebel?"

Hou Tao asked above the throne.

"this..."

The soldier was obviously very hesitant, but Hou Tao shouted and asked him out.

"explain!"

"Jian Song, the traitor, claimed to be on the order of the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, to welcome the king's army to fight against the unjust officials. He also said..."

"Mr. King?"

Hou Quan murmured, and before he could figure out where this Wang Master came from, his thoughts were interrupted by Hou Tao's angry voice.

"say what?"

Hou Tao's eyes were full of anger. He looked at the soldier in front of him, like a wolf watching his prey.

"Jian Song's traitor said that Yan was the orthodox Wu State and was granted the vassal of the Emperor of Great Zhou. As for the Hou family, they were just rebels."

"Yang Xian!"

Hou Tao was furious and slapped the table in front of him. The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the palace.

"Brother, it's not the time to get angry. We should send troops immediately to encircle and suppress Jian Song. If we allow him to grow bigger, the Wu Kingdom will be in danger."

Hou Quan's voice was still echoing in his ears, but another message soldier came from outside the palace.

"Lord, Neptune Ya led the sea tribe to raid our coast, and the 10,000 Zhou troops have now landed in Quangang."

The news came as if it was a sudden moment, but Hou Quan and the ministers in the hall finally understood what the royal army was about Jian Song?

At this moment, everyone in the palace calmed down.

Such a rebellion that acted so quickly could not have been a sudden idea, but it must have been planned for a long time.

In other words, Yang Xian had already made up his mind to attack Wu before issuing those two edicts. But what is his purpose? Is it destroyed the Hou family?

Hou Tao suddenly felt that he was being fooled, and Yang Xian had no intention of negotiating with him.

At this moment, another person came hurriedly, but it was not Xinzhe, but Cheng Xin, the navy general of Wu.

"Lord, there is an emergency military situation on the front line."

“What is it?”

After the first two news, Hou Tao has calmed down now. It was a look of being free from anger, as if nothing could be made to care about.

"Come to report from the front, General Guo Wei of Zhou led his army to attack Qingyang, and King Samoke of Yi defeated the Chu army in the east. On the same day, General Han Bufu of Zhou led his army to go east and return home, attacking Pingling at night. General Wei He of Chu fought with him and was defeated. Now Pingling has fallen back to the Zhou army, and Cai Tong led his army back to Yingcheng to defend the Zhou army. The naval general of Chu State Ning Jingyuan even fought with General Li Fu in the southwest of Yingdu for several days, but he could not win. The envoy sent to Chu State said that the Chu State is now in chaos, and many people in the four lower counties have raised anti-banks, deviated from the Cai family, and swore allegiance to the Great Zhou."

Yang Xian!

Master Wu, Hou Tao, bit these two words hard, clenched his fists, his face pale, and said something with difficulty.
