Chapter 568: Swallowing the Northland

As soon as they heard this, those people hurriedly said that King Jin was the emperor's most beloved brother, and that His Royal Highness King Jin had an accident, and General Yu sent troops, and the emperor would definitely not blame.

Qi Jingyun shook his head when he heard this, playing the role of a conscientious military advisor, "It's not proper, it's not beneficial, it's not good to send troops, if there are heavy casualties, Your Majesty will definitely say that the general doesn't care about the overall situation, and when the time comes, the general will be burdened, but the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"So what do you say?" Being dissuaded by the military advisor like this, Yu Feilong also hesitated.

Prime Minister Zuo was afraid that Yu Feilong would regret his reluctance to send troops, so he hurriedly said: "General Yu has any requirements, as long as we can meet them, we will definitely not refuse!" ”

At present, the abolition of the crown prince King Linqi is a piece of the emperor's heart, as long as the king of Linqi can be solved, even if he pays some price, he will not hesitate.

And most importantly...... Nan Zhao didn't want to have a hard fight with the King of Linqi, because he knew that the King of Linqi was already dead, and if he fought hard, he would only lose both, and if Nan Zhao and the King of Linqi were both defeated, the last benefit would be Da Zhou, who had been developing with peace of mind.

When he came, the emperor once called Prime Minister Zuo to the Qinzheng Palace, and the emperor meant that the attack on Yong'an City was naturally to let Da Zhou take the lead in the front.

In this way, the soldiers of Nanzhao can be saved, and secondly, they can also get rid of the king of Linqi by the hand of the Great Zhou and solve the emperor's troubles.

Such a good thing that kills three birds with one stone is naturally to be done! Therefore, even if Da Zhou makes some requests, he must try his best to meet them, as long as he can get Da Zhou to agree to send troops.

Yu Feilong looked at Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingyun reached out and stroked the sparse beard on his chin, squinted his eyes slightly and thought for a while, and then said: "If this battle repels the King of Linqi, the six cities in the north are all under the Great Zhou, how about it?" ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to cede the northern land to Da Zhou, the ministers who accompanied Prime Minister Zuo were not happy at first, and snorted coldly and said that Da Zhou's appetite was too big, and he actually wanted to swallow the northern land.

Qi Jingyun had long expected that they would have such a reaction, after all, such a thing as ceding the city was not a trivial matter in the first place, and it was reasonable that they would be so excited.

"Everyone, don't be impatient! You think that this deal is not cost-effective, but we also think that if we don't give the northern land to Da Zhou, this battle will not be beneficial to Da Zhou at all. ”

Qi Jingyun walked to the map and pointed his finger on the northern land.

"The city of Yong'an in the north is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to eat here, it is impossible without hundreds of thousands of soldiers! Although the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, if our generals do not have any interests, they will only send troops to avenge His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"It's okay to win, if you lose, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the whole court is afraid that the general will not be able to tolerate it, so why should we do it with you?" Looking straight at Prime Minister Zuo, Qi Jingyun stood with his hands in his hands.

Yu Feilong also bowed his head slightly, turned around and sat on the first place, his eyes fell on the bodies of several envoys, "You have come thousands of miles, it is really hard, I should have entertained you, but now that His Royal Highness King Jin has bad news, I will not be in the mood to entertain you, everyone, please go back!" ”

This straightforwardly issued an order to expel the guest, Prime Minister Zuo's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and he wanted to say something more, but he heard the Zhennan military division on the side say: "His Royal Highness King Jin is my emperor's favorite prince, and now that such a thing has happened in the north, please ask Nanzhao to send King Jin's noble body back, and it can be regarded as an explanation to my emperor." ”

"As for the next thing, I can't wait for an idea, and I have to report it to His Majesty for decision." The threat of these words is obvious, Qi Jingyun had an accident in the north, and the northland is the chassis of Nanzhao.

Now that the corpse has not been sent back, no matter what, Nan Zhao has a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and it is reported to the imperial court, whether it is to break off diplomatic relations with Nan Zhao or to compensate Nan Zhao, it is the emperor's business, and it has nothing to do with their Zhennan army.

Prime Minister Zuo is not a fool, thinking about it, he knows it very well that the north is the land of Nanzhao, but the north is located in the middle of nowhere, and the people are already living in poverty.

The imperial court not only collects no taxes from the north every year, but also allocates disaster relief funds to the north, which has already become a burden for Nanzhao!

Thinking in his heart, Prime Minister Zuo gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, according to what the military advisor said, as long as the Zhennan Army of the Great Zhou can help our army crusade against the traitors, the six cities in the north will belong to the Great Zhou." ”

Seeing that Prime Minister Zuo agreed, Qi Jingyun nodded pretendically, ordered his soldiers to present pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the contract to cede the city on the spot.

A whole page was written on the contract, and Prime Minister Zuo took the contract and looked at it carefully, frowning, "This is repellent...... I think it's better to beat it! ”

"This traitor is now relying on a few cities in the north to make trouble, without these cities, the rebels will have nowhere to go, as long as Nanzhao takes a little time, he can annihilate the enemy army, isn't it!"

After a slight pause, seeing that Prime Minister Zuo was still hesitating, Qi Jingyun continued: "The hundreds of thousands of troops in the south of this town are going to the north to attack the city, in case the city breaks the enemy and the generals escape, Prime Minister Zuo can't let our hundreds of thousands of troops catch the thieves in your southern Zhaohao, right?" Even if you don't worry, I'm afraid that your majesty won't be at ease. ”

These words suddenly hit the weakness of Prime Minister Zuo, it is true, the emperor was originally suspicious, and more than 100,000 soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty drove to the door of their homes and lived in their own homes, which is always unreassuring.

They wanted to use the Great Zhou to exterminate the traitors and thieves without spending a single soldier, but they also didn't want the soldiers of the Great Zhou to threaten the national security of Nanzhao.

Thinking about it this way, it is best to defeat the enemy army and let the soldiers of the Great Zhou come from and go back, without the cover of the city, it is only a matter of time before the king of Linqi is captured.

"Okay, just do what the military advisor said!" took out the big seal, pressed the seal of Prime Minister Zuo, and the big seal of the emperor gave him when he came, and this matter was settled.

Qiao Mingyue woke up and didn't see Qi Jingyun, she was suddenly shocked, she hurriedly dressed and walked out of the camp, and asked the soldiers guarding to know that it was Nanzhao's envoy who came, so Jing Gongzi went to greet the envoy.

Hearing what the soldiers said, Qiao Mingyue calmed down, calculating the time, it was only two days, originally from the capital of Nanzhao to Zhennan, it would take three days to say the least, and they came in these two days, which made Qiao Mingyue a little surprised.
