"General Guan Lei, please get up. Zhao Hong mixed his arms and helped Guan Lei up.

Guan Lei was extremely excited when he saw Zhao Hong: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how did you get here, you must have suffered a lot along the way." A few days ago, the prince won a big victory, and Weichen had heard the news, but he never expected the prince to go to Dongpeng. ”

Zhao Hong said: "The war is urgent, and I, Mr. Beiming, and Mr. Dongfang have been assigned to Liangzhou and Nantai to raise troops together." Now the army is a stand-in, and after arranging the plan with General Guan, I will rush back to Jingzhou immediately. ”

Guan Lei said excitedly: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, Weichen will order all the soldiers and horses, kill the capital, recapture the country for His Royal Highness the prince, and never let the foreign conspiracies occupy my great rivers and mountains." To be dismantled Zhao Ting's conspiracy, Wei Chen will assist the crown prince to ascend the throne. ”

Zhao Hong smiled: "The general doesn't have to worry, now Zhao Ting's soldiers are strong and strong, with the assistance of the Beiyi and Western Regions coalition forces, we are not opponents on the frontal battlefield." Now Mr. Beiming and Mr. Dongfang have gone to Nantai and Liangzhou respectively, and they will send troops at the same time. ”

Guan Lei groaned slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that Weichen destroys his own prestige and grows the ambition of others, counting the Beiyi army, now Zhao Ting controls almost all the soldiers and horses in the world, even if the two Fei envoys of Nantai Luo Xiu Nayu and Liangzhou Li Yulong send troops at the same time to attack the capital from three directions, the probability of success is too low." ”

Zhao Hong said: "I naturally know this, so I won't let them attack the capital." ”

Guan Lei's mind quickly searched the mountains and rivers of Dayan's territory: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know which way to go?"

Zhao Hong smiled mysteriously: "No soldiers, I have an idea to let you set yourself up as kings." ”

"What!" Guan Lei immediately knelt down when he heard this: "Your Highness, Weichen will never have the heart of being a subordinate! He will definitely not set himself up as a king! If he has a different heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

Zhao Hong hurriedly helped Guan Lei up: "General Guan, I'm not tempting, this is our only chance." ”

Guan Lei looked at Zhao Hong suspiciously: "Your Highness, Weichen is unknown." ”

Zhao Hong's face was solemn: "Zhao Ting is the demon son of the Demon Sect, his purpose is to use the power of the world to dig a road to heaven through the Kunlun Mountains after he dominates the world, so he must cherish the people and soldiers, just to retain all his strength and fill it all into the abyss of digging the heavenly road." If the three-way Feiyou envoy establishes himself as the king, Zhao Ting does not dare to use the army to extinguish, he is afraid, afraid that the world will be in chaos, and in vain he will consume the people and subjects he has worked so hard to get, we can only target his weakness, let the beacon fire in the sky, the world is in chaos, Zhao Ting can only use the Huairou policy, little by little to calm down, we have a chance to breathe, wait for the people to live in poverty, thieves everywhere, we will reorganize all the rebels, and retake Dayan. ”

Guan Lei gasped: "Your Highness, this plan may destroy the foundation of Great Yan for thousands of years! It will also make the common people miserable, and Great Yan will definitely become a hell on earth." ”

Zhao Hong nodded sadly: "Yes, it's okay if General Guan doesn't want to do this, after I leave, I can sincerely return to Zhao Ting, at that time, the world is peaceful, according to Zhao Ting's temperament, he will definitely recuperate for a few years, which can be regarded as the prosperity of the Great Yan throughout the ages." When he requisitioned the people of the world to go to Kunlun Mountain, the dead and wounded people may not be more than the people who died in the war for many years. ”

Guan Lei Zhengse said: "Your Highness, the shore of the land, is it not the king's land, the people of the land, it is not the king's minister, as a Yan soldier, Weichen is only loyal to Dayan, and foreigners steal the country, how can that kind of Gou An be tolerated." The Kunlun Mountains are extremely dangerous, and at that time, I didn't know how many people were going to die. If Zhao Ting really became the emperor, his subordinates knew that Zhao Ting did not care about the life and death of the people, in order to treat the people as coolies, and they would definitely try their best to oppress the people. ”

Zhao Hong pinched Guan Lei's arm hard: "General Guan, you understand the righteousness, Zhao Hong is very moved." After that, I will go back to Jingzhou to avoid the suspicion of Zhao Ting's army. After that, you can fight against Zhao Ting as a king, or fight or peace, it's all in your hands, as long as you hold Zhao Ting, I will definitely be able to think of a way to restore the country. ”

Guan Lei said movingly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Jingzhou is too dangerous, you might as well stay in Dongpeng, Dongpeng is close to the sea, if the army is defeated, Weichen can arrange for His Highness to leave Dayan." ”

Zhao Hong smiled a little bitterly: "I have to go back to Jingzhou, if Zhao Ting finds me in Dongpeng, Dongpeng is far away from several other states, and I can besiege it with all my might, I only have one map left, and I know that Beiyi has many connections with the Dongfang Island Country, and I am more dangerous at sea." And I'm in Jingzhou, and I can still guard against the Beiyi army. ”

Guan Lei stared at Zhao Hong for a long time, Zhao Hong looked at Guan Lei indifferently, Guan Lei slapped his thigh: "Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, you have the bearing of the founding monarch, Guan Lei will definitely guard Dongpeng, Dongpeng, the land of fish and salt, is only reserved for His Royal Highness." ”

Zhao Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, showing a rare relaxed expression.

Half a month later, the three major Fei envoys of Nantai, Dongpeng, and Liangzhou announced themselves as kings at the same time, namely Luo Xiu Nayu, the king of Wei, Li Yulong, the king of Ping, and Guan Lei, the king of Chu. The news spread as soon as the world was in an uproar, and people with military and economic strength in various places were ready to move.

Zhao Ting was above the main hall, looking at the recital sent by the minister, and laughed: "What? After the three Feiyou envoys became kings, there were more Dazhai and two gangs of bandits back to Longshan! Okay, how is the war in Jingzhou?

A middle-aged minister came out: "Your Majesty, Ma Dashuai has surrounded Jingzhou for March, Jingzhou's grain and grass are drying up day by day, I'm afraid Zhao Hong will fight back in the near future in order to make a living." ”

Zhao Ting said: "If you divide your troops to destroy Dazhai and return to Longshan, how many soldiers and horses will be needed." ”

The Minister of War said: "100,000 soldiers and horses are needed." ”

"What?" Zhao Ting angrily threw the chapter out of the distance: "Two thieves' dens, they actually want 100,000 soldiers and horses!

The minister of the Ministry of War was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Your Majesty, Dazhai is in Daze in the northwest, and it is based on high mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it is attacked, there must be 40,000 soldiers." If there are not enough soldiers and cannot be contained, the other party can escape to the mountains at any time, and when the imperial court retreats, they will immediately make a comeback. ”

Zhao Ting said with a dark face: "I know, these chaotic ministers and thieves are really difficult, how is the negotiation with Nantai, Liangzhou, and Dongpeng?"

Another old minister walked out of the queue tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the three Fei You envoys have all received the notice from the imperial court, saying that they want to think about it carefully. ”

"Do they have any other actions?" Zhao Ting asked.

The old minister said: "The three traitors have just become kings, and now they are busy strengthening the defense of the territory, recruiting troops and horses, and appeasing the people, and they have no intention of attacking. ”

"There was no offensive intent. Zhao Ting's fingers knocked on the armrest of the pure gold dragon chair, and it made a bang, becoming the only voice in the hall, every time at this time, no minister could speak, otherwise I don't know what kind of unwarranted disaster would be found.

After a while, Zhao Ting stopped tapping, and Huo Ran got up: "I know, retreat." ”

The ministers were expressionless, and walked out of the hall in a procession, with a solemn expression, and when Zhao Ting walked away, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Li, why is Your Majesty surprisingly calm about the rebellion of the Three Kings today. The Minister asked the Minister of War in a low voice.

The minister of the Ministry of War half-lowered his eyelids: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, and it is best for our courtiers not to ask more." ”

The minister who asked the question smiled: "What Lord Li said is true." ”

Lord Li sighed softly: "Who knows what His Majesty is thinking. ”

The minister who asked sighed: "Lord Li, please, if you are not busy, you can go to the house for a drink or two." ”

Master Li said softly: "Your Majesty does not want your subordinates to have any dealings, and after bringing down the rebellion, I will personally visit you." ”

"Okay, wait for Master Li. ”

Zhao Ting had a black face and walked in the forbidden palace in a big stride, and the guards behind him did not dare to lag behind, so they followed in stride.

As soon as Zhao Ting raised his hand, stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and flicked it twice, two black-clothed people flew out from the shadows and knelt behind Zhao Ting: "Childe." ”

Zhao Ting's eyes were red, and his face was full of anger: "Go and find out who the heads of Dazhai and Huilongshan are, within a month, I want to see their heads, and if there are not enough people, I will write to Boss Ma and ask him to send two top men." ”

"Yes!"

The two men in black flew back into the shadows without raising their heads.

In the imperial study, only Zhao Ting sat behind the dragon book case.

"Bastard!" Zhao Ting grabbed the green jade pen wash on the table and fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the priceless treasure turned into pieces.

A man in a white night robe walked out from behind a pillar, the man had gray hair, a pale face, and pale gray eyes, and looked at Zhao Ting with a smile: "Childe, why is there such a big anger." ”

"Bai Ye! Have you heard the words in the main hall? The three families are against the king, only caring about stabilizing themselves, and there is no sign of sending troops. Zhao Tingbing said with a cold face.

Bai Ye squatted on the ground and looked at the green jade fragment with interest: "What a good broken jade, Childe, reward me, I can go back and make a ring face." ”

Zhao Ting waved his hand: "Give it to you what you want." ”

Bai Ye smiled and picked up a large piece of broken jade: "This piece is good, thank you Gongzi." The three anti-kings have heavy troops, isn't it best not to make trouble?"

Zhao Ting raised his head and leaned on the dragon chair: "What do you know, this must be Zhao Hong's trick, if the three anti-kings attack and follow Zhao Hong to send troops, I can mobilize a large army to exterminate them, and now they are not moving, like a fish in the throat, it is very difficult to exterminate, and after a long time, the world will be chaotic." ”

Bai Ye was looking at the color of the broken jade in front of Yangguan, and said, "Then what should we do? Do you want to send my black team to kill these three anti-kings." ”

Zhao Ting said: "They must take strict precautions, I don't know how many black team members will be lost, since they don't move, I can't wait any longer, tomorrow, I will give an order and start digging the Heavenly God Treasure Road." ”

Bai Ye sighed: "So anxious? This is not good for the stability of the regime." ”

Zhao Hong's face was full of anger: "What's the disadvantage! Who can stop my black knife!"

Bai Ye took the broken jade into his arms: "Isn't that person named Cangyun already the leader of the beggar gang, if you don't get rid of him for a day, you dare to leave the imperial city and take the Heavenly God Treasure Road?"
