Wind and rain!

There is something in the wind!

The measures taken by the Daqian court aroused the vigilance of many monarchs and princes.

In all countries, there is no shortage of far-sighted and far-sighted people.

When I went to the Qin Palace, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, and the threshold was almost flattened by them.

Ji Xuanling couldn't bear to be disturbed and chose to close the door.

In the Taihe Palace, Li Yao's words almost informed the princes and kings that Daqian was married to Qin and supported Qin to replace Dakang.

In the blink of an eye, the Qin State was regarded as a great power by the kings, and some people wanted to ally with the Qin State to avoid the troops from the Great Qian.

Ji Xuanling didn't know anything about Li Yao, and he probably knew Li Yao's attitude.

The other side chose to fight with the Great Cadres as a jade silk, only to ease internal and external contradictions, and was forced to do so.

If he received the kings and kept them safe, Li Yao's suspicion would not be aroused.

It's night!

At the time of the third watch, everything was silent.

Ji Xuanling, the princess of Mengluo, secretly went to the palace of the king of Chu in the middle of the night.

Unlike the Qi State, the advantages of the Qin-Chu alliance outweighed the disadvantages, and the two lions fought in Dakang.

Each other has a stake in each other.

At dusk, the king of Chu came to the palace of the king of Qin, but he was not received and left stupidly.

Ji Xuanling walked like a ghost at night, avoiding Li Yao's ears and eyes.

In his sleep, the king of Chu was woken up by the housekeeper and learned that Ji Xuanling and Princess Mengluo visited at night.

After losing his mind for a short time, the king of Chu asked the official family to take them to the study, and he hurriedly went there wearing a fox fur.

Qin and Chu are bordered by each other, and their interests are related.

Facing the soldiers from Daqian, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the nest is destroyed and the eggs are broken.

Now that Qin Guo is close to Daqian, he can't wait to learn Ji Xuanling's inner thoughts.

If there is a dispute between interests, Qin and Chu will meet on the battlefield after parting ways.

If the interests are the same, Qin Chu should deepen cooperation and share weal and woe.

In the study, Ji Xuanling, after a simple greeting from the King of Chu, Ji Xuanling went straight to the point.

It is suggested that Qin and Chu continue to cooperate, still fight in Dakang, and strive to end the war in Dakang before the end of the southern expedition of Daqian.

In order to weaken the threat from the Great Cadres, the two countries shared intelligence and withdrew the defenders of the border.

Ji Xuanling showed goodwill, and the king of Chu happily agreed.

Qin Chu is an old enemy, and he often fights each other.

However, foreign enemies can attack at any time, and they must no longer fight, which will consume the strength of the two countries.

What's more, they have already cooperated, and the Chu army's income in Dakang is not as good as that of the Qin army, but they have tasted the sweetness.

At the end of some discussion, the king of Chu proposed to increase the troops to Dakang, send infantry to the battlefield, and kill Zhao Chen as soon as possible after training.

The state of Chu sent skilled craftsmen to Xianyang to build warships for the Qin state and strengthen the combat capabilities of the Qin army's naval divisions. At the same time, the Qin State sold war horses to the Chu State to expand the number of cavalry of the Chu State.

Exchange of interests.

Solidarity in the face of the impending crisis.

Ji Xuanling agreed with the proposal of the King of Chu.

The Qin army's sailors were the Qin army's biggest weakness, and when they fought against Zhao Tuo, the problem had been exposed.

First, the number was small, delaying the pace of the Qin army's battle, and second, the shortage of warships made him constrained, and he could not expand the naval division.

The state of Chu sent craftsmen into Qin to build warships for the Qin army, which could solve the urgent needs of the Qin army.

War Horse said.

The Longdi of Qin, Xiliang and the north, at that time, was a famous war horse production area, and the wealthy families in several counties and prefectures all raised horses.

As early as the early days of his reign, he implemented horse politics in the imperial court, and now the Qin State is full of good horses.

It didn't hurt to sell it to the Chu State, and the gold and silver in exchange for it happened to be used to build warships.

Qin Chu went from needle-to-wheat to simple cooperation, and from this time on, he entered a rare honeymoon period.

The important affairs of the military aircraft were basically negotiated, and the king of Chu paused and asked: "King Qin, the dragon cavalry is stationed in Xianyang and Hangu Pass, how do you solve it?" ”

More than 100,000 dragoons are enough to stir up the northern storm.

The king of Chu supported the dragon to ride into Qin and deter the Qin state. I was also afraid that the dragoon would be like a poisonous stinger, piercing into the Qin State, and endangering the entire north after the poison broke out in the future.

"Hehe..."

In exchange for the complete trust of the King of Chu, Ji Xuanling hastily revealed his plan.

Hearing the rooster crowing outside, he glanced out the window and got up to say goodbye.

He didn't believe in the king of Chu, how could the king of Chu believe him.

Late-night spies, just the interests match, the king of Chu did not understand the long-term plan of the Chu State, he is not stupid, how can he leak the important affairs of the Qin State.

Following.

The king of Chu entered the palace, bid farewell to Li Yao, and left with his concubines at noon.

In the days that followed, the kings entered the palace one after another to take their leave.

Previously, guests and friends from all over the world were invited, and the lively Dragon City gradually returned to its former calm.

Even, the king of Hailing was in charge of the troops, continuously dispatched troops, and waved his army south, and there was a little more slaughter in the Dragon City.

The king of Lingnan, who had been imprisoned for a long time, was also released by Li Yao after King Hailing, the general, led his troops to the south.

The previous punishment was all eliminated, and after the title of King Liang was rewarded, when the court was in power, the court took back his fief and left him in Longcheng.

Li Yao threw more than 100,000 dragoons to him who were lax in armament and lacked training, and appointed him as the general of Zhenbei to strengthen the combat capability of this dragoon in case of emergency.

The king of Nanyue was more miserable, he was stripped of the prince, reclaimed the fief, demoted to the marquis, and restricted in the mansion.

The Prince's Southern Expedition!

The two princes who were qualified to compete for the crown remained in Dragon City.

The contradictions between them seem to be much weaker than before, and they are all doing their best to assist Li Yao and solve the internal and external troubles of the great cadres.

However, the cunning officials knew that the contradictions between the princes had not been eliminated.

The king of Jiujiang and the king of Lingnan still did not give up the struggle for the crown.

scramble, moving from superficial to private.

All the competition was put on the Southern Tang Dynasty, and by giving advice to the emperor, contributing ideas and efforts, showing his talents, and gaining Li Yao's favor.

If there is an opportunity to compete for the reserve, they still give it their all.

The third day of the birthday feast ended.

Before Li Maoyuan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, entered the palace and said goodbye to Li Yao, he came to the island in the middle of the lake in disguise.

Visit Lu Qinglan, after a pleasantry.

Li Maoyuan stared at him seriously, sent two pieces of gold leaf, and said coldly: "I will give you two million taels of silver, kill the King of Qin, and never let him leave Daqian alive." ”

This person is arrogant and does not know what to do.

Now that his plan has been exposed, he refuses to cooperate with him, and he will become a threat to stay.

Lu Qinglan turned out the gold leaf, put it on the desk, covered her mouth with long sleeves and chuckled: "Don't worry, King Tang, you will pay, I will contribute, and I will not leave you hidden dangers." ”

"Good!"

Li Maoyuan nodded.

They have cooperated many times, and Lu Qinglan's beauty shop has never disappointed him.

At this time, Li Maoyuan took out three gold leafes again and sent them to Lu Qinlan: "From Longcheng to Nantang, there are dangers all the way, this king hopes, you will do what you say, and escort this king back to China safely." ”

He had long wanted to go back to Nantang.

It is a pity that news came from the south that Daqian was plotting to transfer troops in southern Xinjiang, and assassins were rampant, as if they wanted to intercept and kill him.

Leave his life in Daqian.

Li Maoyuan is secretly preparing for a lot, but he is still not at ease when he is in Daqian.

What's more, the big cadres are rapidly destroying the intelligence system he has set up, and the news coming from the south is no longer as dense as before.

Back to the Southern Tang Dynasty, you need to rely on the beauty square.

...........

On the same day, Li Maoyuan left the city.

At night, Lu Qinglan sent someone to answer him.

Li Maoyuan's golden cicada broke out of his shell and parted ways with the convoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In order to prevent Daqian from setting up ambushes along the way and assassinating Li Maoyuan, the guards arranged by the Beauty Fang did not choose the official road when escorting Li Maoyuan.

brought the simple clothes of the peasants and gave Li Maoyuan a look.

The group disguised themselves as hawkers in the south, went out day and night, took the country road, and went to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Splendid City.

On a raised slope.

Li Yao stood with his hands behind his back, in the cold wind, the cloak fluttered, and the dragon robe undulated.

His clear and clear eyes looked far away to the south.

Li Maoyuan has returned to the south, and it has been some days.

It's time for the operation in the south to come to an end, and it's time to get the word back.

Whether the soldiers can be bloodless and eradicate the southern princes is a move here.

Li Yao didn't have high hopes for the killer he sent, and he still had some expectations in his heart?

What's more, in order to eradicate Li Maoyuan, Daqian used dragon horses.

This is also the reason why he deliberately arranged Ji Xuanling's marriage half a month later, instead of the big wedding at the end of the birthday banquet.

Assassinated Li Maoyuan, the dragons of the Southern Tang Dynasty were leaderless, and the national energy was turbulent.

King Hailing, the general of the southern expedition, will inevitably destroy the withering and decaying momentum and flatten the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The hidden danger is eliminated, and the big cadres will not have to marry the three princesses to Xianyang.

The news from the south is not small, but unfortunately it is mostly bad news, but there is no good news.

Li Yaolong's face was cold, full of anger, and he strode forward to the palace.

"Mu Qian, is it possible that the news will leak in advance?" Li Yao asked the accompanying eunuch.

His plan was almost leakless, but unfortunately it didn't hurt Li Maoyuan in the slightest.

had to make him suspect that there were still cronies planted by the other party in Longcheng who leaked secrets to Li Maoyuan.

Mu Qian has never dared to participate in national affairs, let alone show his political talents, after all, he is like a tiger, and he is afraid of being suspected by the emperor.

He bowed down and said, "Whether there is a traitor in the court, the villain doesn't know." However, according to the reports of several adults. It seems that there are a large number of assassins, killers, who are secretly assisting the Tang King to return to the south, the army sent by the imperial court, the generals were beheaded in the military camp, the assassins were exterminated, and it seems that it is not easy to eradicate the Tang King. ”

"Alas!" Li Yao exhaled deeply.

It was he who underestimated Li Maoyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, maybe the other party didn't know about his plot, but he became much more cautious on the way back to the south.

It still seems that it is still not easy to intercept and kill the Tang King in the territory of Daqian.

If necessary, it is also necessary to send dragoons to fight and fight into the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Yao didn't stay on the hillside for long, turned around and walked towards the palace, and ordered: "Strengthen the number of people and eradicate the Tang King as soon as possible." Give an order to the king of Hailing and the general, and order them to quickly put the army in order. ”

Time waits for no man.

Li Yao didn't want Li Maoyuan to return to the south and raised troops to the north.

"Whoa!" Mu Yuan nodded.

A few days later, the news from the south flew into Dragon City like snowflakes, but it often disappointed Li Yao.

Half a month later, Prime Minister Liu Jun was hurriedly entering the palace, looking anxious, and reported to Li Yao: "Your Majesty, the spy Feige has sent a message to report that King Tang has left Daqian safely. ”

What the?

When Li Yao heard this, he was both angry and surprised, he had been plotting for a long time, and he had arranged for a long time, but he still let Li Maoyuan flee from Daqian.

Assassination!

The problem is no longer solved, it's time to go to war.

I couldn't help asking: "How are the preparations for military affairs?" ”

Liu Junzheng clenched his fists and said: "It's going well, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the general have rushed to the south together." stationed troops at the border, but the army in the south was lax in armament after all, and the combat effectiveness was not good, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the general chose to reorganize the army first and then send troops. ”

"Good!"

Li Yao said lightly.

The Tang king had been secretly preparing in the south for many years, and the army of the Great Cadres rarely fought hard.

It is prudent to adopt a cautious strategy.

After a pause, Li Yao said: "Choose a good day and prepare for the marriage of King Qin and the three princesses." ”

Previously, he was full of confidence in his arrangement, but unfortunately the news that came back repeatedly disappointed him.

What's more, King Qin has already sent the dowry into the Splendid City, waiting in the Dragon City for half a month, if he doesn't get married, the other party is likely to be suspicious.

According to the information he knew, not only the situation in the south had not been resolved, but the northern vassal states were also preparing to move, and Qi, Chuyan, Zhao, Wei, Han and other countries, on the way back to the north, all went to Linzi, the royal capital of Qi, and secretly carried out an alliance, and had already abandoned their previous suspicions.

In particular, Zhao Wangqi proposed that each country send 50,000 troops to form a coalition army, stationed in the territory of Zhou Tianzi, and if the north of the great Qian, the northern expedition was waved. The Six-Nation Coalition immediately moved south to meet the enemy, and at the same time, the countries were increasing their troops by 50,000 to form a coalition army of 600,000.

These troops did not go south, but they were already secretly guarding against Daqian, and if the Tang King sent people to collude with them, Daqian's situation would be even worse.

At the same time, after Zhao Chen, the emperor of Dakang, was expelled from Daqian, he quickly returned to Dakang, issued Zhai Ling to the princes of Dakang, and no longer pursued each other's crimes, and Dakang erected the banner of expelling foreign enemies.

Although it is rarely corresponded to by the vassal states. However, the vassal states that are competing in Dakang are currently in truce.

Except for the Qin army, which began to move, Dakang, who had always suffered from the flames of war, did not even have a war now.

At present, the cadres are all focused on the south, and they have no time to take into account the situation in the north and Dakang. To solve these problems, it is necessary to rely on the Qin state.

Liu Junzheng heard this, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is already preparing. As long as the emperor decrees, three days later will be the auspicious day of the zodiac. ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, just three days later." ”

Liu Junzheng nodded and withdrew from the palace.

In the past half a month, King Qin has lived very comfortably in Dragon City.

As the kings left Dragon City one after another, the number of people who came to visit gradually decreased, and he was also idle.

Sending Jia Wendao to carry gold, silver and jewelry, like a dowry gift from Daqian, except for the princess who married Daqian, he almost did not move in Dragon City.

On the one hand, he accompanied several concubines, and there was good news among them. Nguyen Tingcheng and Princess Monroe are both pregnant.

However, for the sake of their own safety, they are even more released to the Great Qianjiang, and the prince who has not yet been born is used as a proton. Hope deliberately hides the news.

In his spare time, he also went to the palace. Find Princess Fuyao, Princess Ruyi, Princess Wuyang, and play around.

On the one hand, he studied the politics of the Great Cadres with Jia Wenwen, and intended to emulate the Great Cadres and carry the political system of the Great Qian. At the same time, we should pay close attention to the situation of the great cadres and the princes of the Quartet to avoid accidents.

The situation was very quiet in all aspects, but there was no sign of the wedding for a long time, which made him feel very surprised.

In particular, Shen complained and sent back the news that Daqian had sent troops to intercept and kill the Tang King halfway at the moment. This made him feel uneasy as a member of the community.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, he was afraid that Emperor Daqian had other conspiracies.
