In the Royal City of King Dahua, the former imperial capital, the color of the newly repaired palace walls is still a little different from the surrounding old walls. The guards standing guard yawned casually.
Zhao Yu felt inexplicably irritable in his palace, because none of the recent series of events could satisfy him.
Many of the buildings in this palace, which has a sense of historical vicissitudes, have been newly built. It has gone through a lot of wind and frost, and it has long been no longer what it was before.
The Tang Empire had directly attacked this place with missiles before, so some buildings collapsed and were damaged. There was no time to repair them when Zhao Kai was there, and they were left there without anyone caring about them.
Then civil strife broke out in the imperial capital. The various princes attacked each other and even used heavy firepower. After such a long battle, the palace was naturally affected and part of it was damaged.
This kind of loss was really too great. As the palace wall collapsed, many officers, soldiers and civilians sneaked into the palace and stole a large number of artifacts and treasures, leaving most of the royal collection of the Dahua Empire missing.
When Zhao Yu returned to the imperial capital and drove away Zhao Ji and Zhao Jie, basically nothing was left.
Zhao Yu, who originally wanted to rely on the cultural relics and treasures in the palace to repay his debts, found that almost all the royal collections in the Dahua Empire had been looted.
In fact, compared with the throne of the Dahua Empire, these treasures are actually not that precious. It's just that the Dahua Empire that Zhao Yu took over... it is no longer the Dahua Empire.
The empire eventually turned into a kingdom, and a large tract of land that was originally negotiated was lost to Zhao Jie because Zhao Yu was unable to settle it, and one-third of it was lost.
Now, due to the civil strife in the Kingdom of Dahua, Zhao Yu no longer has the ability to continue attacking south to defeat the rebellious rebel Zhao Jie.
Zhao Ji died, and Li Mingshun's surrender allowed Zhao Yu to regain a little bit of the initiative. But as Zhao Yu concluded a peace treaty with the Tang Empire and announced his abdication to become king, Li Mingshun, a staunch supporter of the Great China Empire, now
He has also started to disobey Zhao Yu's orders.
Amid internal and external troubles, Zhao Yu had to cling to the thick legs of the Tang Empire, which made the ministers look down on Tang Mo's loyal dog even more.
The situation on the battlefield was also at a stalemate. No matter how much weapons and equipment Zhao Yu put in from the Tang Empire, he could not defeat Zhao Jie who had the Qin Empire behind him.
There is no way, Zhao Jie also has someone to support him! He has obtained sufficient resources from the Qin Empire, and he also has many main forces left over from the Dahua Empire. In addition, he is also a famous general of the generation, so it is really a good fight against Zhao Yu.
Chicken.
If the Tang Empire hadn't provided enough weapons and equipment to support the Kingdom of Dahua, and Zhao Yu's absolute strength was indeed greater than Zhao Jie, Zhao Yu's army might not have been able to sustain it until now.
The two sides attacked each other in Caili and Pingfeng, which directly led to the complete destruction of the Great Hua Granary in Caili. In the past year, almost no food was grown here.
On the contrary, there was a bumper harvest near Jutian, which was not affected by the war. This food greatly relieved Zhao Jie's pressure and gave the clan general of the Great China Empire the capital to continue to deal with the situation.
"Didn't we make an agreement? Didn't the Tang Empire promise to let me be the King of Dahua? Why didn't you try your best to help me defeat Zhao Jie!" Zhao Yu swept the teacup and other things in front of him to the ground, and they shattered into pieces.
One place.
He looked at his generals angrily, including the bastard general Li Mingshun who had been ineffective recently. In order to win over the most important general under Zhao Ji, Zhao Yu even gave the opponent the title of general.
But as the Dahua Empire became the Dahua Kingdom, Li Mingshun never helped Zhao Yu with any good ideas.
In this state, Zhao Yu did not dare to let Li Mingshun lead troops on the expedition. He was afraid that Li Mingshun would defect before the formation and surrender directly to Zhao Jie. By then, he would not even have a place to cry.
"Your Majesty, we have recently provided you with 20,000 sets of individual weapons and equipment, 20 155mm howitzers, 40 tanks, 80 armored vehicles, and 90,000 rounds of artillery shells." A diplomat from the Tang Empire showed no fear at all.
He calmly reminded Zhao Yu who was getting angry.
Others give face to Zhao Yu, but their suzerain country, the Tang Empire, will not give Zhao Yu face. At that time, the Great China Empire, which lacked strength, dared to boss around in front of the Tang State. Now that the Tang Empire is at its peak, diplomats like them certainly cannot be coy.
"If you play more cautiously and control the losses within a reasonable range, I think this assistance will be enough for you to achieve a satisfactory result in Caili." Another diplomat from the Tang Empire sneered and said sarcastically.
.
The Dahua troops had no fighting spirit on the front line, and their attack was ineffective even when planes and tanks had the upper hand.
Thousands of artillery shells were fired, and the positions of Zhao Jie's troops were ablaze, but Zhao Yujun was still unable to advance, and sometimes even had to be counterattacked by the opponent.
If the Tang Empire didn't want Zhao Yu to collapse too soon, they would have stopped supporting Zhao Yu: What is this? Filling a bottomless pit with real money?
In the opinion of the military advisors of the Tang Empire, supporting arms and supplies must at least see some effects, right?
Look at the orcs. Even though they are barbaric, they really work hard when fighting. At least they are not like Zhao Yujun, who surrendered to Zhao Jie one by one, and even brought some weapons and equipment with him.
"How are you talking? If His Majesty hadn't been forced to abdicate by you, losing the thousand-year inheritance of the throne of Dahua, and losing the support of the people, would the front line be like this?" A minister couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded the people of the Tang Empire.
Foreign Minister.
Several diplomats from the Tang Empire didn't even bother to argue with this official from Dahua. They would find an opportunity to depose him in a few days anyway. There is no point in arguing now.
Sure enough, the ministers of Dahua who stood on the side of the Tang Empire became excited. They pointed at each other and kept criticizing: "That's nonsense. If the Tang Empire hadn't supported us, how could His Majesty control these thousands of miles of land? You guys are simply ridiculous.
If you are unfaithful and unfilial, you are not worthy of being a subject!"
Those ministers who thought they were on the side of Dahua refused to give in. They pointed at the sycophants who sided with the Tang Dynasty and cursed: "If you hadn't deceived Your Majesty, how could I, Dahua, be in this situation today?"
Seeing that the scolding was going on, and it was about to accuse him of treason and usurping the throne, Zhao Yu slammed the table, making the scene quiet down.
He snorted and then looked at the diplomats of the Tang Empire: "Special envoys, I have no other intentions. I just want the Tang Empire to put pressure on Qin and stop them from secretly supporting Zhao Jie."
