Chapter 411: Amazement
In the Beichang Palace, the cold wind blew slightly and hid a little.
In the past, it was also regarded as a city, and in the palace where there were frequent exchanges, since Feng Yewu and Lu Jue condemned it, the door had already been closed, and there were few people who came and went.
It's not because of the coercion of the imperial court represented by Feng Yewu.
After all, the domain where the King of Beichang is located is far away from Kyoto, and it has already had its own power for many years, so even if the imperial court crusades, there will still be many defectors.
But now they are all rejected by Wei Siyuan, the king of Beichang, for several days, the gate of the Beichang palace is closed, gradually, with the approach of the Northern Expeditionary Army, there are naturally many forces that plan to take refuge, and they can't afford to wait at the moment, and they have begun to leave Beichang City one after another, go to their own forces, and seek a way back.
"The prince is also a bit strategic on weekdays, but now he is turning those people away, which seems to be a little out of line with the original intention of the prince."
Ou Yu's slightly old voice sounded, but his tone was full of ridicule.
Wei Siyuan heard Ou Yu's ridicule, but he was not interested in arguing with him at the moment.
"The predecessors laughed, but the letters sent out now, there was no clear reply, and I was a little uneasy in my heart, those people are just pawns after all, useless people, if everything is different, it can be icing on the cake, but now the things that are sent in the snow can't be done."
As Mu Bai analyzed, the people sent out by Wei Siyuan to seek accomplices did not have the slightest response, and many secret letters fell into the hands of Feng Yewu.
Even on King Changwu's side, even if there was no secret message passed, there was no reply so far.
This made Wei Siyuan a little unable to see the current situation clearly, or rather, he always felt that something was missing.
"It seems that he can't wait, and this king can only gather his military strength and arrange all the elites of the Beichang army near Beichang City to wait for its movements."
Wei Siyuan sighed softly, it seemed that there was a providence in the dark, he had done everything he could, and the rest was up to God's arrangement.
"Isn't the prince going to take the initiative?"
For the military aspect, Ou Yu naturally didn't know anything, and he didn't bother to understand it when he was old, so he just asked curiously.
"No."
Wei Siyuan looked at the lush pine branches in the front hall, and in the cold wind, the flowers and bones around them had withered and only the dead roots remained, and only the pines and cypresses were still verdant.
"Now this king only arranges some eyeliner, observe the movements around him, if he takes the initiative to attack, it will lead to giving up a little, in fact, all the chips of this king have nothing to do with this huge northern frontier, as long as Beichang City is not destroyed, this king still has a glimmer of hope, the number of the Northern Expedition army is more than the Beichang army, if you divide the troops to attack, you may fall into Lu Jue's plan."
Hearing that Wei Siyuan was still clearly analyzing the current situation, Ou Yu was also a little comforted in his heart, at least Wei Siyuan was not to the point of completely giving up on himself, and he knew what he was doing.
As soon as Wei Siyuan's words fell, at this time, a secret agent from the direction of Kyoto came in a hurry.
"Report! Wang Ye's secret agent in Beijing, there is a message coming. ”
The reason why it is a message is really helpless, since Feng Yewu announced the crusade against Wei Siyuan, basically all roads leading from the Ye Dynasty to Beichang City have been completely blocked.
After all, it is difficult for the letter to pass through the border guard safely, and it can even easily lead to exposure, so the message becomes the second choice.
At least after a certain sound, you can strike out syllables that outsiders don't understand, and through the change of rhythm and syllables, and then translate them into code words, which can be used to communicate information.
In the same way, in order to prevent the message from being transmitted by mistake or obtained by outsiders, the person who preaches the message does not actually know the content of the message, and most of them do not belong to Wei Siyuan or Feng Yewu.
Most of them are among the bards from the south to the north.
Bards come and go, singing all kinds of new folk songs, and some people even compile new things that have happened in recent times into songs.
And this message is compiled into syllables by those who have the ability, and then when the bard sings it to others, those who have a heart will hear it, so that it is translated into a message and reported to Wei Siyuan.
"Say it."
After all, Ou Yu is already his own person on the side of King Beichang, even if the soldiers come to the city at that time, Ou Yu will not be implicated, after all, Ou Yu is a sage, and he will not participate in the world at will.
"There is a change in Kyoto, the palace of the prince of Changwu has been slaughtered all over the house, and now His Majesty is starting to investigate this matter, and King Changwu has also issued a document to denounce His Majesty."
"Is there such a thing?"
Before Wei Siyuan could speak, Ou Yu on the side laughed first, and couldn't help but say: "This Chen Pingwu died, it must be too much of a coincidence in time, to be honest, did you kid do it?" ”
Of course, the only person who Ou Yu thought of at the first time was Wei Siyuan, but after Wei Siyuan heard it, there was no smile on his face, but the cold light flashed under his eyes, and his face became a little solemn.
"The seniors laughed, if this king did it, would the seniors not know? What's more, killing Chen Pingwu will do me more harm than good, and it is not my means at all. ”
Wei Siyuan explained softly, but the light of thought in his eyes flickered frequently.
"Not you?"
Ou Yu naturally knew that it was not Wei Siyuan's doing, just as Wei Siyuan said, Ou Yu has been in the house during this time, and he knows Wei Siyuan's every move in this book, but if Wei Siyuan did it, who can it be?
Wei Siyuan's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and finally snorted coldly and said with a deep sigh of surprise: "This Chen Sinian is really an old fox, I can't imagine that we have known each other for decades, but we can hide it so deeply. ”
When Ou Yu heard Wei Siyuan say this, his eyes were full of incomprehension, after all, tiger poison does not eat children, Ou Yu naturally didn't think that this matter would have something to do with King Changwu.
"Why would the prince say this about King Changwu?"
Wei Siyuan seemed to have figured everything out at this moment, his eyes became clear and bright, but the intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth had not been eliminated.
"This time, the biggest beneficiary of Chen Pingwu's death is probably King Changwu."
Wei Siyuan had already said it so thoroughly, Ou Yu understood everything, obviously Wei Siyuan was man-made, and this matter was personally instructed by King Changwu.
"It's impossible, that's King Changwu's own son, and the tiger poison doesn't eat children."
Although Ou Yu didn't believe what he said, for Wei Siyuan's words, in fact, Ou Yu would completely believe it even if he didn't know the reason.
Maybe it's because the two have been together for a long time and know each other a little.
