Over the years, in order to make up for this shortcoming, the Great Zhou had also done many things.
However, compared to the three impregnable passes that stood in the northwest in the past, the hasty preparations were not worth mentioning.
Under such circumstances.
The emperor finally did not dare to hide anymore. Almost all of the core army spirit troops of the Great Zhou were mobilized and deployed in the northwest territory.
Since there was no geographical advantage to rely on.
Therefore, they could only use manpower, material resources, and financial resources to forcefully build a human wall and do their best to prevent the Star Moon Army from breaking through the northwest and endangering the safety of the royal capital.
If it was decades ago when the Great Zhou’s national treasury was still full.
Not to mention that the Starmoon Troop had only sent less than 200,000 elites to approach Haojing, even if they doubled the number to 400,000, it wouldn’t have much of an impact on Haojing.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty had ruled thousands of miles of land for tens of thousands of years and was definitely not to be trifled with.
The people in Futian Pass, Dragon Subdue Pass, and Tiger Subdue Pass had an extremely strong sense of identity with the Great Zhou.
The people of the world were already used to calling themselves citizens of the Great Zhou and were also used to being ruled by the Great Zhou.
Just this alone was completely different from the people in the Northwest.
As an invader, the Star Moon Army would definitely encounter powerful resistance after entering the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou only needed to send enough troops to face the enemy and be invincible.
However, it was not the same as decades ago.
The Great Zhou, which was involved in the war between the six countries, was a defeated country. Its treasury had long since dried up in the long war.
The war between the six nations had finally ended.
The Great Zhou, Great Qin, and Great Qi attacked Northern Ice River Town.
In the end, ??????????? Zhou did not gain any advantage in this war.
Not only did it not cause much substantial damage to Northern Ice River Town, but it also made Northern Ice River Town hostile for no reason.
The war finally came to an end.
Just as they were preparing to recuperate and replenish their livelihood, the fire sects in the country caused trouble everywhere, causing the grain production in the central and southern regions of the Great Zhou to decrease on a large scale.
Time and time again, they were either overt or covert, strong or weak.
With the accumulation of many factors, even the Great Zhou, a powerful country that had stood for ten thousand years, could not hold on.
Therefore, although they had mobilized a sufficient number of troops, the Great Zhou was still not confident. They could only hope that the other countries would not kick the Great Zhou when it was down at this time and deal a fatal blow to the Great Zhou that was already wearing a mask of pain.
Haojing, above the Emperor’s Hall.
Hundreds of civil and military officials slowly walked out of the meeting hall. At this moment, all of them had solemn expressions on their faces. Some of them even whispered to each other and sighed.
In the main hall, the emperor’s face was numb and his emotions were complicated.
After everyone had left, he casually grabbed an inkstone from the side of the table and threw it on the ground.
“Bang!”
The loud noise frightened the palace maids and eunuchs around him.
Seeing that his expression was getting uglier, an old eunuch said nervously,””Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down…
The emperor glared at the eunuch.
The eunuch, who was extremely familiar with the man before him, immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
The emperor stood up from the dragon throne and scolded angrily,””Trash, a bunch of trash…The Great Zhou Dynasty had been established for more than 13,000 years, and there had never been anyone like this. All the civil and military officials in the court were people who lived in vain!”
The Great Zhou Dynasty implemented the clan blood system, and official positions were passed down from generation to generation through the ties between the family and the academy.
It was still fine in the first few thousand years.
After all, the world had not yet settled down at that time, and many families had not lost their desire to advance. In addition, generations of marriage had made the relationship between the entire interest alliance very strong.
Therefore, the Great Zhou relied on this system to prosper and stabilize for a long time.
The longer it lasted, the more the Great Zhou would be restricted by this system.
When the various large families formed an unbreakable alliance, the so-called imperial power was actually just a tool to bind interests in the eyes of the aristocratic families.
If not for the fact that the emperor was powerful enough to control the most elite batch of Qi Refiners…
In the long years, it had probably long since been used as a figurehead by the great clans, becoming a dispensable mascot.
Of course, none of this was important.
After all, the emperor’s surname was Ji. Just based on this point, as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty existed, the emperor would forever hold power that the other great clans could never shake.
However, havinz Dower did not mean that thev would not Derish.
After all, although Zhou’s ‘authority’ was greater than that of the other countries, the Great Zhou Empire was not as powerful as the other countries.
But in the end, it had not reached the level where he could do whatever he wanted.
As long as the other countries joined forces, the Great Zhou would still be destroyed.
However, what the emperor could not accept the most was that the Great Zhou had not been destroyed by the other countries in the war of the six countries. Instead, it had been forced into a corner by a group of traitors in the northwest and a group of rebels in the country.
The emperor of Great Zhou believed that although he was not a famous ruler, he should not have become a ruler of a nation.
This group of great clans had truly rotted to the roots.
In the face of danger, there was not a single person in the entire court who could be of great use. There was only a group of submissive second-generation aristocrats who were full of greed.
Back then, when a group of scholars in the country were in a mess because of the decisions made in the northeast..
