Liu Xinghe looked at the Huangfu Hero and admired it in his heart, but he also felt very sorry, because in order to suppress the scattered cultivation that caused trouble, the Huangfu Hero offended many monks, especially some evil cultivators, they were originally outlaws who were driven out of the Righteous Dao Sect because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents in Zhongzhou, and now they finally have a place where they can do whatever they want and don't have to worry about those righteous people to take care of it, they naturally will not compromise easily.

At that time, the Huangfu heroes let these evil cultivators restrain a little in the name of the royal family, but these people are used to being powerful, and at that time, the Huangfu heroes had just stepped into the Jindan period, so no one took them into their eyes at all, and they still went their own way, and even more evil cultivators regarded mortals as a sacrifice for cultivating evil arts.

The attitude of the evil cultivators and the cruelty of killing people without blinking made the Huangfu hero unbearable, he fought against countless evil cultivators with his own strength, and killed a lot of villains who were the troubled party, at that time, Donglan had four Jindan evil cultivators united to surround and kill the Huangfu heroes, but they underestimated the strength of the Huangfu heroes, with the peerless exercises practiced in Zhongzhou and the indomitable momentum, the four Jindan evil cultivators were not only unsatisfactory but were killed by the Huangfu heroes, and since then, there have been no monks in Donglan to make trouble.

However, years of conquest have left a lot of dark wounds on the Huangfu hero, coupled with Donglan's weak aura, there is no natural treasure, so many years have passed, the Huangfu hero's cultivation has not advanced an inch, and gradually he has more than enough strength but not enough.

On the other hand, the Donglan Imperial Court, under the protection of the Huangfu heroes, relied on the coastal port to make a lot of money, not only did not think of danger in times of peace, but began to indulge in arrogance and indulgence, the royal family and nobles were greedy for wine ponds and meat forests, drunk and gold-obsessed, before the poor soldiers sent troops to Jiangnan to take advantage of the opportunity, the ministers and the people were also open-minded, in order to make money, deliberately greeted outsiders, regardless of the other party's eyes on themselves.

Huangfu hero has more than once played the emperor to ask for a truce with Wu State, and called the soldiers on the front line back to defend Yingzhou, before the emperor was a little hesitant, but since Hu Hua came, the emperor thought that he could climb the Zhongzhou monk sect and did not care about Yingzhou, plus Xiangguo Ai Qian was afraid that after the return of the army, the strength of Xiangguofu would rise sharply, so he kept bewitching behind his back that Yingzhou would not attack Donglan, which made the emperor let down his guard.

Looking at the heroic and indignant appearance of Huangfu, Liu Xinghe was both admiring and worried, before Ai Qian was ready to attack the Protector Mansion, if it wasn't for Liu Xinghe's move, Huangfu Lie is now estimated to have been controlled by the other party, and now he is about to leave, and the army supporting the Protectorate Mansion is outside, Ai Qian and others will definitely take advantage of the strength of the Protectorate Mansion to make a move, and the Huangfu father and son are so upright, they have long been enemies of the Manchu Dynasty, and now the emperor no longer attaches so much importance to the Protector Mansion, and he will definitely not be the opponent of the other party at that time。

Liu Xinghe frowned and said, "Then what does Your Majesty think now?"

Huangfu Hero sighed and said: " Now the biggest threat is Yingzhou, you know, we have explored Yingzhou before and gathered troops, although there are not many but not to be underestimated, but now they have not taken the initiative to attack, and we have no reason to say anything, and now His Majesty is bent on climbing the sect of Zhongzhou to become a country of monks, at least to become a vassal, so he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of Yingzhou at all, plus Ai Qian's old boy has been reconciling from it, saying that Yingzhou gathered troops just to force us to marry, and now the princess has been married, and the other party has no ability to lead the competition, and there is no excuse to send troops, so it will be fine, so now His Majesty no longer puts his mind on Yingzhou。 Hearing

that Emperor Liu Jian wanted to become a vassal of the sect, Liu Xinghe's eyes flashed with a trace of anger, those mortals don't know what the fate of becoming a vassal of the sect is, but Liu Xinghe couldn't be clearer, once the sect takes over the country, then this country will become an appendage of the sect, mortals are just consumables in the eyes of those monks, they will let mortals enter the mine to mine for them, and even use mortals to practice exercises, Liu Xinghe has seen this with his own eyes before.

Liu Xinghe's face sank and said: "Vassal? Could it be that the emperor thinks that he can be carefree by becoming a vassal of the sect?

Huangfu Hero sighed and said: "Although this is so, this is Your Majesty's decision after all, and I can't change it, so I can only do my best." Subsequently

, Huangfu Hero asked Liu Xinghe and Huangfu Lie to leave first, he wanted to be alone in the room for a while, Liu Xinghe saw that the other party was worried about the matter of the sea ban, so he had to put aside the matter of going to sea first, and wanted to wait a few days to mention this matter, but the people of Yingzhou did not give Liu Xinghe this time.

Two days later, the soldiers patrolling the coastline caught a group of smugglers, and seized a large number of stolen goods, which was not a big deal, but Yingzhou launched a surprise attack on Donglan on the grounds that Donglan had robbed Yingzhou of the goods, and led an army of 200,000 coastal attacks.

In the face of the overwhelming Yingzhou army, the emperor immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and Liu Xinghe, as a staff general, was also dragged to the court by the emperor hero.

Above the court, the ministers exchanged heads and ears, and they were as chaotic as ants on a hot pot.

The emperor looked at the ministers who were in a hurry and said in a panic: "Everyone, Aiqing, now that the Yingzhou army is menacing, and the generals will come to the city in the near future, how can we resist it?"

Xiangguo Ai Qian bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to make a big move, and the minister is sure to let Yingzhou withdraw from the army." The

emperor was overjoyed and asked, "Oh, what can Ai Xiangguo do?"

Ai Qian stepped forward and said: "This war is completely caused by the sea ban, so as long as we lift the sea ban, open the port, and give some money to Yingzhou as compensation, the other party will naturally retreat."

When the hero of Huangfu heard this, he was furious: "What are you talking about?

Ai Qian sneered and said: "Old General Huangfu, because of the ban on the sea, not only can I Donglan not be able to trade normally, but even the people have to go out to sea to fish and report through layers of reports, and the people have long been miserable, and this time it is indeed because we have seized the other party's goods that we gave them a reason to send troops, isn't it? If we can solve this matter without bloodshed, why bother with swords and soldiers, or do you want to provoke a war to raise your own respect?" "

What did you say!"

The Huangfu hero was dumbfounded by the question, and at this moment, a young man turned out from behind him.

"Lord Xiangguo is right, this sea ban should indeed be abolished. I saw Liu Xinghe calm and relaxed, and came to everyone with a smile on his face.

Ai Qian looked at Liu Xinghe's face and immediately darkened, now he has a headache when he sees Liu Xinghe, don't look at this Liu Xinghe seems to be talking for himself just now, but I don't know what bad water he is holding in his heart.

"However, although the sea ban can be abolished, it is by no means now. Sure

enough, Liu Xinghe said in the last sentence that he wanted to abolish the sea ban, and the next sentence was against it.

Seeing the inconsistencies in Liu Xinghe's words, Emperor Liu Jian said with a puzzled face: "Why is

this?" Liu Xinghe smiled lightly and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, why do I Donglan want to implement the sea ban? Isn't its purpose to prevent the invasion of Yingzhou State, now that the Yingzhou army has invaded, we are still discussing whether to abolish the sea ban, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?" Therefore, we should immediately counterattack and drive the Yingzhou army out, as long as we defeat Yingzhou and make them no longer dare to look directly at the royal court, then the sea ban will naturally not be needed.

Hearing this, Ai Qian immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord Ning's words are wrong, the reason why the other party invaded this time is because the sea ban seized their goods, as long as we lift the sea ban and compensate, the other party will naturally have no reason to attack again."

Liu Xinghe sneered and said: "Compensation? What is compensation? Smuggling is illegal, and seizure is also reasonable and legal, if compensation doesn't mean that we are wrong? Then isn't this a slap in the face of my Donglan Law and a slap in the face of His Majesty?"

Liu Jian nodded when he heard this, as the emperor, he valued his face the most, how could he do this kind of thing to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Without waiting for Ai Qian to refute, Liu Xinghe continued: "Besides, there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, this time they excused ourselves by saying that we seized their goods, and we will compensate them, so what ......should we do next time they are their own soldiers in Donglan and

disappear? What nonsense are you talking about!" Ai Qian was so angry that he was incoherent, and his eyes rolled and said: "Even if you are right, but now that my Donglan troops are insufficient, and Yingzhou has

200,000 troops, how do you deal with it?" "I have fought 500,000, what is 200,000." Liu Xinghe didn't care in his heart, and said disdainfully at the corner of his mouth: "It's just 200,000 at your fingertips, why be so afraid."

Ai Qian sneered and said: "I'm not afraid to flash my tongue when I say big things, now that my Donglan army is outside, and there are only 40,000 or 50,000 troops in the capital, how can I deal with the enemy?"

Liu Xinghe said confidently: "That's too simple, although Yingzhou has 200,000 troops, it is an expedition, and it is difficult to supply, which is why they are pointing directly at the capital, because they want to fight a war, although our army is small, it is to wait for work, and the high walls of the capital are thick, and the materials in the city are abundant, we only need to fight a protracted war with them, within three months, the other party will definitely retreat without a fight, and after this battle, Yingzhou will not be able to integrate the military situation in a short period of time, and there will be no need for a sea ban at that time." The

emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, let's do what General Ning said." "
