One day and a half later, the kings of various countries gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall of the Qiang Kingdom.

The main seat of Xuanzheng Hall is empty, and the lower seat sets a seat for each king that meets the strength of his country.

In theory, these seats have no order or distinction between superiority and inferiority.

Everyone is the king of the country, so it will be unhappy to put anyone behind.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Xiang Chong, the prime minister of Qiang State, the king of Qiang State, Kang Shu decided to adopt a roundtable parliament.

The so-called round table parliament is to separate all the kings and place them on a temporary round table.

In this way, no such difference will be made if anyone sits in the upper head, and no one will make any decisions.

Now, there are about ten kings sitting on the round table, and two or three servants are followed by each king.

The head of this meeting, the Lord of Qiang Kingdom, had not arrived yet, and everyone was talking in a low voice.

With the sound of opening the door, everyone suddenly became quiet and their eyes turned to the door.

The Qiang Kingdom’s king, Kang Shu, walked in slowly accompanied by the prime minister Xiang Chong.

This young king looked in his early thirties, with a cold and arrogant face and a pair of bright eyes.

Uncle Kang, whose original name was Kang Shuda, was the only descendant of Kang Qiang, the previous Qiang king.

In the generation of Uncle Kang's great-grandfather, the Qiang Kingdom was very strong and its territory was far from what it is today.

At that time, the Qiang Kingdom was surrounded by tigers and dragons on the border between Zhao Kingdom and the western world, and had a hegemony, competing with a great power like Zhao Kingdom.

However, because of the poor management of the great-grandfather of the Qiang Kingdom, the Qiang Kingdom was regarded as a thorn in the side by countries such as Zhao, Wei.

Several major powers united and dispatched tens of thousands of troops to attack the Qiang Kingdom. In just one month, they drove straight into the capital of the Qiang Kingdom.

The Qiang Kingdom was in a hurry, and the nobles in the country fled one after another, and most of them did not escape the fate of being arrested and surrounded.

There is only one army on the border of the Qiang Kingdom, controlled by a royal family.

In a crisis, the direct general did not lead troops to rescue the capital because he knew that even if he went back, he would be futile and even take care of himself.

He directly led this army to escort the remaining nobles and people of the Qiang Kingdom and marched westward.

After two or three generations of management, until Uncle Kang's generation, the Qiang Kingdom had already gained a firm foothold here.

Not only that, they have become the mainstay of several nearby countries and occupy a key position in this alliance.

Accompanied by Xiang Chong, the young Uncle Kang slowly walked into the hall and sat down in a seat.

After a few short greetings, Uncle Kang said, "Everyone has come from afar, so I'll get to the point."

"I believe everyone has heard that Liu Quan from the Western City-State has been executed by the Council Office. What do you think about this?"

After hearing Uncle Kang's words, there was a rustling discussion on the ground.

The Lord of Seibu Kingdom said slowly, "Lord Kang, we have heard of this. Did Your Majesty summon us all because of this?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not a major event in our opinion."

"As we all know, the city-states in the wilderness of the west are all uncivilized barbarians, and everyone is enclosed as kings, and there is no rules at all."

"There is a lord in one city, and a lord is a lord. They are in chaos with each other."

"I heard that Liu Quan was executed because of a conspiracy to poison other lords at the banquet. After being discovered, he handed over to the meeting hall for handling."

"His Majesty,

Do you still think there is something strange about this?”

Uncle Kang listened quietly to the king of Seibu State's views from beginning to end.

After hearing this, he turned around and asked the others, "Do you all think so?"

"Yes." Everyone agreed or nodded to agree with this idea.

Uncle Kang slowly closed his eyes, opened his eyes a few seconds later, and said, "Didn't everyone notice that he was conspiring to poison other lords? Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Question?" asked the king of Seibu Kingdom in confusion, saying, "What's the problem?"

Uncle Kang said, "First of all, Liu Quan conspired to poison other lords, and this matter is basically untenable."

"The lords of the western city-states are basically in charge of their own affairs, and Liu Quan is just the lord of one of the city-states."

"Even if the other lords die, those city-states will select others to be lords within, and Liu Quan will not get any benefits in it."

"This is just the first point, and there is also the second point. Even if Liu Quan really conspires to poison other lords, he will not act as obvious."

"In this way, it is easy to provoke suspicion to himself. I know more about Liu Quan, and he is definitely not stupid."

"There is a last point. Not long before this incident, something big happened in the West. Do you know what it is?"

The king of Seibu Kingdom frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is Lord Kang talking about Jinchuan City?"

Uncle Kang nodded and said, "It's about Jinchuan City. In the battle of Jinchuan City, Zhao Kuo led tens of thousands of people to attack the city, but in the end he surrendered without fighting. Haven't you ever thought about the deeper reason?"

This is obviously abnormal.

Uncle Kang said, "If you piece together these fragmented information, it is not difficult to find that the western city-state is undergoing a secret integration."

The king of Seibu Kingdom was stunned when he heard this and said, "Secret integration?"

Uncle Kang said, "The western city-states are indeed loose and loose sand fighting each other, which is true."

"But from the incident between Jinchuan City and Liu Quan, it is not difficult to find that the interior of the western city-state is being integrated little by little."

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said, "I am worried that in the near future, the western city-states will invade our countries in large numbers."

"All our countries are small countries, which are natural obstacles to the western city-states and stumbling blocks for their competition in the Central Plains."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and even showed a look of panic.

Although the wild city-state in the west is just a group of "uncivilized barbarians", it has strong military strength.

If they really integrate, they will not be able to withstand anyway.

The Lord of Seibu's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "Lord Kang, according to what you said, if they really invade us in a big way, how long will we have?"

Uncle Kang shook his head silently and said, "From all the signs, there is probably not much time left for us."

"So, now while we still have some time, I hope everyone comes up with a solution."

The Lord of Seibu Frown and said, "Lord Kang, since you have brought us all, I guess you already have a rough idea in your heart, right?"

Uncle Kang nodded and said, "I have indeed already had a basic plan, but..."

"Just what?" asked the Seibu Kingdom's king and several other kings immediately.

Uncle Kang said, "But, several kings need to do it."

A big concession.”

The Lord of Seibu Frown and said carefully, "Are you a big concession? Can you tell me in detail by Lord Kang?"

Uncle Kang's eyes flew over everyone, and he slowly said, "My lords, it is now the time for life and death for several of our countries."

"So, I plead for all the lords to integrate all the troops of their respective countries and to be led by a good general."

"Only when we countries, who fully put aside their grudges and trust each other fully, can we finally survive."

this……

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them showed hesitation.

The "big concession" that Uncle Kang just mentioned just now is indeed not a casual statement.

This is more than just a big concession, it is simply to let them hand over their country.

The people present were all the kings of various countries. When they heard Uncle Kang's words, their first reaction was to disagree.

They would rather wait for the enemy to invade and think of other ways than give their country's lifeline and family background to others now.

This is not a matter of trust or distrust, it means that their country needs to take a lot of risks.

If they just hand over a city in their country, their own wife, or even their mother to the other party, perhaps they can consider agreeing.

But hand over the army?

That means they will completely give up all power and their country will have no resistance.

If Uncle Kang had no other thoughts, it would be fine. Otherwise, they would have their country destroyed and their families would be lost overnight.

The kings present are all talented, and no one is willing to take such risks.

Uncle Kang had long expected such consequences, so he sighed softly and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the gate of Xuanzheng Hall slammed open, and three teams of fully armed warriors rushed in through the three gates.

As soon as these people entered the hall, they all held weapons in their hands and placed them on the necks of all the kings present.

Everyone's faces changed. They looked at Uncle Kang in surprise. Uncle Kang looked indifferent and held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip of it.

The king of Seibu Kingdom pointed at the knife on his neck and asked, "Uncle Kang, what do you mean?"

Uncle Kang showed a look of fatigue on his face, and he slowly said, "Sorry, all the kings, if this method is not applied, there is no way to achieve the goal."

What he said about achieving the goal is naturally to control the army of these countries.
