When Yan Fu heard the empress' roll call, he slowly walked out of the queue and saluted Shangguan Xiao.

His low voice echoed in the empty hall.

"Your Majesty, I have conducted preliminary communication with the envoys from both sides."

"The Mohe tribe came here with a very low attitude."

"Due to years of suppression by the Prairie Royal Court, the Mohe tribe has suffered heavy casualties and lost all its territory."

"Seeing that the Northeast is about to enter a cold winter, their tribe no longer has enough food to survive the winter."

"Therefore, the envoy Mohe asked me, Dachu, to provide 300,000 dan of food and 100,000 troops to help them resist the offensive of the Prairie Royal Court."

After Yan Fu finished speaking, there was a burst of low-pitched discussion in the hall.

Three hundred thousand shi of grain was definitely not a small amount for Dachu, who was currently financially strapped.

Not to mention sending 100,000 troops.

Shangguan Xiao frowned deeply. Although she had ambitions, she also knew Da Chu's current family background.

"What about Dang Xiangguo?"

Shangguan Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Yan Fu's face darkened slightly, and his tone became a little solemn.

"As for the party states, their attitude is extremely arrogant."

"Dangxiang's envoy claimed that if Da Chu wants to continue to maintain peace with Dangxiang and join forces to fight against the Prairie Royal Court, it must show sincerity."

"And their condition is that Da Chu should return the Heshuo Plain that they captured a hundred years ago."

Yan Fu raised his head and looked at the empress.

"Dangxiang's envoy threatened that if he refused, Dangxiang would immediately form an alliance with the Prairie Royal Court."

"At that time, the two armies will join forces and send troops from the northwest and north at the same time to attack our great Chu!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Daming Hall fell silent instantly.

You can hear the needle drop.

The faces of all the ministers became extremely ugly.

This is already a naked threat of war.

The current situation in Dachu would be disastrous if it faced a joint attack by Dangxiang and the Prairie Royal Court at the same time.

On the dragon chair, Shangguan Xiao's hands tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon chair. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but more of it was weakness.

She knows the current situation of Dachu best. If he is caught in the quagmire of war, it will be very difficult for him to escape without losing his body, let alone win.

Da Chu cannot win this battle!

Do you really want to agree to the unreasonable request of the party members?

Shangguan Xiao took a deep breath.

The atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that it was breathless.
