Chapter 311: Yan Ning's True Ambition Is Finally Exposed!
Actually, Yan Ning can understand Nanqing Guojun's thoughts.
The Great Qianguo and the Northern Liang Kingdom were in chaos, and they were fighting with Yanning in the north, and the 350,000 troops of Nanqing had already approached the city of Daqian.
At this time, how could they wait? As long as they could take the capital of Daqian in one fell swoop before Yan Ning led the army to arrive, it would be tantamount to tearing off a piece of super fat meat in this battle.
This is because the destruction of the country has become inevitable.
If you can take the city of Kyoto, it will be equivalent to dividing the territory of the Great Qian Kingdom into two, and then, as long as the passage of Nanjun is opened, the boundaries of the Great Qian and Nanqing will be successfully connected.
So far, Nanqing has become the first power!
"Yan Ning, that's really not what I meant......" Qiu Xian'er looked at Yan Ning, her eyes were a little nervous, and she even changed "Senior Brother" to Yan Ning.
"Who does that mean?" Yan Ning looked at Qiu Xian'er with a serious face, and wanted to laugh in her heart.
"Yes...... I don't know, but it's certainly not what the monarch meant, she has promised me, but she is only a threat to send troops, and she will not really do it. Qiu Xian'er gritted her teeth, obviously not knowing what Yan Ning was thinking.
"Well, if the battle situation in the north is inconclusive, your Nanqing monarch will definitely stand still, but Daqian has been defeated in the north, and Dongfang Bubo died in battle, this news can't be hidden, even if the monarch of Nanqing really abides by the agreement, but will the civil and military officials of Nanqing abide by it?" Yan Ning explained for Qiu Xian'er.
"No matter what, the problem is in Nanqing, I will deal with it!" Qiu Xian'er still has some responsibility.
"Actually, there is one thing I don't understand too well, can my junior sister help me solve it?" Yan Ning pulled Qiu Xian'er and returned to the carriage.
"Division...... Senior brother, excuse me. Qiu Xian'er was stunned for a moment and changed back to the title of "senior brother".
"Why did your master die, according to what you said, after your master fought with Jiu Lingzi, he was only injured and would recover in a few months, but he was in a hurry to pass on his cultivation to you, why is this?" Yan Ning wondered.
"This is actually because of ......" Qiu Xian'er seemed to hesitate, but after a while, she still sighed softly and said: "Actually, there is an immortal sect that has always wanted to replace the status of our Holy Maiden Palace in Nanqing Kingdom. β
"Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Yan Ning didn't seem surprised.
"Yes, Senior Brother already knows, the War God Temple of the Great Qianguo is actually a branch of the Five Thunder Sect, and the National Teacher's Mansion of the Beiliang Kingdom is also a branch of the Immortal Sect, only our Holy Maiden Palace is not, although we used to be a second-grade immortal gate, but now we don't say it's a second-grade immortal gate, and even the third-grade immortal gate in the Ten Thousand Immortal League can't compare. β
Qiu Xian'er paused and continued: "On the seventh day when Master was injured, a guest came to visit, and he was the Fengtang Hall Master of the 'Qingxiu Sect'. β
"I see. Yan Ning suddenly realized.
"Senior brother, I haven't shown any surprised expression, I think I should have guessed a long time ago, the reason why I was asked is just to prove my idea, right?" Qiu Xian'er looked at Yan Ning seriously.
"Well, I did guess a little. Yan Ning nodded.
In fact, when Qiu Xian'er told about the Holy Maiden Palace and the Ten Thousand Immortal League, he had some guesses, after all, the Holy Maiden Palace no longer had its former glory, and even if it was replaced, it would be normal.
"Why did Senior Brother suddenly ask this?"
"Hehe, junior sister might as well think about a question, if Nanqing Guojun knows that you call me senior brother, and at this time, the Fengtang hall master of Qingxiu Sect happened to appear in front of her again, and the sword pointed at half of the Great Qianguo, you say...... What choice will she make?" Yan Ning did not answer Qiu Xian'er's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Teng!"
Qiu Xian'er stood up directly.
With a bang on his head, he hit the roof of the carriage.
"It's already late, if Nanqing Guojun doesn't have strong backup support, how can he ignore your advice?" Yan Ning looked at Qiu Xian'er and shook his head gently.
"No, it won't! My Holy Maiden Palace has been based in Nanqing for thousands of years, and I have been doing my best to subdue demons and subdue demons, and I have never interfered with the royal power in any way, Nanqing will not do this to my Holy Maiden Palace!" Qiu Xian'er kept shaking her head.
"Do you know why a peach blossom has a high status in Beiliang? Because, the branch hall she built is called 'National Teacher's Mansion', although she ignores the government and politics, but in fact, she stands firmly behind the Beiliang royal family, and moreover, it is also under the rule of Beiliang in name, and even several of her disciples still have positions in the army. β
"This ...... What can it prove?"
"Dongfang Bupo told me before he died that the emperor of Daqian killed the previous prince because the prince threatened his position, and then, because my father knew about it, so, in desperation, the monarch of Daqian Guojun designed to let Dongfang not break and killed my father, and the method was to pay a concubine. Yan Ning spoke again.
"......" Qiu Xian'er suddenly fell silent.
"What is royal power? Supremacy can be called royal power, let you live, you will live, let you die, you will die, since ancient times, emperors, all like this? How many meritorious heroes, bloody killings, meritorious deeds, and then, because of high merit to cover the master? Once the success is eternal, the emperor of the ages in the history books, which of the emperors is not full of bones? In order to sit on the throne, they do everything they can, the so-called imperial technique is the balancing technique, using traitorous ministers to balance loyal ministers, and using loyal ministers to balance traitorous ministers, in order to regain control of the court, they can even poison their own sons, and not to mention those princes under the royal power, they calculate each other, brothers kill each other, do you really think that you are a 'neutral' holy women's palace, will let the royal power back down in front of you?"
Yan Ning looked directly at Qiu Xian'er, and he could see that Qiu Xian'er's expression had changed significantly, her face was a little pale, and a trace of horror flashed in her eyes.
"But I'm an immortal, there are so many Innate Realm disciples in my Holy Maiden Palace, even if she has this kind of thought, she will definitely not really put it into action!"
"Therefore, she needs a new immortal gate, a powerful immortal gate, and in this way, this immortal gate has promised conditions, such as: she must guard her royal power, and she can make a move at a critical moment, I guess no one can refuse. Yan Ning spread her hands.
"Plop!"
Qiu Xian'er sat down.
Her face was drenched in fine sweat, her chest rose and fell sharply, and her palms were clenched extremely tightly, apparently struggling fiercely.
"Do you want to prove my guess. Yan Ning continued.
"How...... How can you prove it?" Qiu Xian'er came back from her struggle, a little puzzled.
"It's very simple, now we have two ways to go, the first way is to let Nanqing's army get out of the way, and then, on the grounds of entering King Qin, we will enter Kyoto City openly, which will undoubtedly reduce casualties. β
"What about the second one?"
"Naturally, it is to increase the troops of Nanqingguo, and by the way, send a few generals to help them attack the city, so as to deter the emperor of Daqian to surrender, although it will add some casualties, but it can also break the city. β
"I think both strategies are good, relatively speaking, the first one is better, the big cadres are still resisting, and they must not know the news of Dongfang Bubo's defeat, so if they can pretend that Dongfang Bubo enters the city, it is naturally the best policy! However, the second one is also very good, the two armies are combined, and the Daqian army will be scattered, and the city will be surrendered immediately. Qiu Xian'er thought for a while, then slowly looked at Yan Ning and asked for advice.
"Don't look at me, I will give the choice to Commander Nanqing, junior sister only needs to listen to it, and she will know what Nanqing really thinks. Yan Ning also looked at Qiu Xian'er.
"Okay, then I'll listen. Qiu Xian'er nodded.
Although she didn't know what Yan Ning meant by this, the two strategies proposed by Yan Ning could be regarded as the best policy, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Someone, send a message to Commander Nanqing!" Yan Ning walked out of the carriage directly.
"Yes!"
......
About an hour later.
In the Nanqing army, there was an envoy who came to see him.
Dressed as a scribe, with a feather fan in his hand and a square hat on his head, he looked like a scheming man who was good at calculation and tongue.
"The envoy of Nanqing, the envoy of the left governor of the army, 'Zhuyoudao', has seen Yan Guogong!" The scribe approached Yan Ning's carriage and bowed respectfully to the carriage.
"There is no need to be polite to come, I don't know what Commander Nanqing's plan is for me, what choice will he make?" Yan Ning walked out of the carriage with Qiu Xian'er, and he was not too polite, and asked directly.
"I have heard the demeanor of Yan Guogong like a fairy, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary. Zhu Youdao gave another salute, and then, he gave another salute to Qiu Xian'er: "The ministers have the way, I have seen the Qiu Palace Master!"
"Well, what choice does Lin Shuai make?" Qiu Xian'er waved her hand and asked as well.
"Huh...... Well, Zhu Youdao has a saying, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Zhu Youdao smiled and shook his head, but he didn't look eager.
"Naturally, it is not appropriate to talk about it. Yan Ning spoke slowly.
"......" has all the ways.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, we're all our own family, you can spray whatever you want, no matter how presumptuous you are today, I won't kill you. Yan Ning smiled.
"Uh......? Okay, then I'll be blunt. Zhu Youdao's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "Yan Guogong's demeanor is indeed outstanding, but there is something wrong with the strategy. β
"Well, please advise?"
"Okay, then I'll talk about the feasibility of these two strategies, first of all, the first one, Yan Guogong wants to pretend to be Dongfang Bupo and enter the king of Jingqin, I don't think it's appropriate. β
"What's wrong?"
"Three points are inappropriate, first of all, our army has occupied an absolute advantage, it is only a matter of time to take down the city of Kyoto, if we let our army withdraw at this time, I am afraid it will give the enemy a chance to counterattack, secondly, Yan Guogong said that he pretended to be Dongfang Bupo, but in fact, Dongfang Bupo is dead, whether this matter is known to the monarch of Daqianguo, it is still unknown, although this plan is good, but it is too risky, finally, once the withdrawal of the army will have an impact on the morale of our army, the grandfather of the country should know that the army is going to fight, and morale should be the first, so we Lin Shuai think that the first way is not appropriateοΌβ
"Well, what does Lin Shuai mean by choosing the second one?" Yan Ning seemed to have expected it.
"No, the second is also inappropriate. β
"Oh, what's wrong with the second one?"
"The tactics of the two armies are different, and our army has been fighting with the Daqian Guards for many days, if the army is rashly united at this time, it is likely that there will be disagreements in the command of the generals, which will affect the combat strength and increase casualties...... There is always something to have. β
"Hehe, that makes sense, junior sister, did you hear that?" Yan Ning heard this, and his eyes also turned to Qiu Xian'er.
"I hear you. Qiu Xian'er gritted her teeth.
"Then may I ask Mr. Zhu, what is Lin Shuai's plan?" Yan Ning didn't delay any longer, and asked directly.
"What Lin Shuai means is to ask the Duke of Yan to retreat from the army for twenty miles to garrison, and after we Nanqing captures the capital of the Great Qianguo, we will hand over the Great Qianguo Monarch to you for disposal. β
"What about time?"
"Three days, within three days, you will go to Kyoto City!"
"What if you can't get down for three days?"
"Naturally, he acted according to Yan Guogong's strategy. "All the ways affirmed.
"Okay, it's good to work hard for Mr. Zhu and Lin Shuai, I will do things according to Lin Shuai's wishes, but twenty miles is too far, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the celebration when the time comes, why don't you retreat ten miles?"
"Good, Grandpa Guo is really a person who has achieved great things, please wait for Grandpa Guo for three days, there will be good news. A flash of joy flashed in Zhu Youdao's eyes, and he immediately saluted Yan Ning.
"Well, in three days, I will drink the Imperial Garden with Lin Shuai. β
"Hahaha, the envoy is leaving!" Zhu Youdao said, and gave a salute to Qiu Xian'er: "The monarch has a saying, and the ministers will bring it to the palace master." β
"What?"
"This ......"
"Let's talk, I'll go to other places first. Of course, Yan Ning knew what Zhu Youdao meant, so he jumped out of the carriage lightly and walked towards the distance.
Zhu Youdao waited until Yan Ning walked away, and then approached Qiu Xian'er, and said cautiously: "Qiu Palace Lord, what the monarch means is that the palace master must hold Yan Ning for three days, and after our army takes Daqian Kyoto, the monarch will personally welcome the palace master back to the country, and the monarch promises that as long as there is a day of Nanqing, there will be a day of the Holy Maiden Palace!"
"Okay, I got it. Qiu Xian'er's fist tightened slightly, and then nodded.
"Then the subordinate will leave, please be sure to take Nanqingguo as the priority!" After Zhu Youdao finished speaking, he bowed down and slowly retreated.
β......β
Qiu Xian'er stood on the carriage.
She looked up, looked at the sky, looked at the winter clouds, and felt the winter wind.
After a long time, she turned back.
I found that not far away, there was a young man in white standing, also looking at the sky, also looking at the clouds in the sky, feeling the cold winter wind.
"I haven't heard from the Palazzo Virgen for seven days. Qiu Xian'er suddenly spoke.
"Before the war is really over, it is impossible for the monarch to take action against the Holy Maiden Palace, but only to block the news transmitted by the Holy Maiden Palace. Yan Ning replied casually.
"Senior brother, after spending so much time helping me prove the monarch's approach, what are you really stopping?" Qiu Xian'er's gaze froze violently, and she looked at Yan Ning with an extremely serious expression.
