Chapter 582: Imprisoning the Merchant

Regarding Ye Haixuan's proposal, everyone naturally has no opinions.

After the order was forbidden, and the spies were confessed, a secret plan to hunt down the merchant began.

In just ten days, seven hundred and twenty-three merchants were escorted to the Celestial Empire camp, where they knelt down in a daze, and they were very conspicuous in the snow.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Ye Haixuan and the prefect went into battle together, interrogated for several nights, and finally figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter, and they all sighed that the neighboring countries could be punished.

Half a month ago, Wan Yanfei retreated after a big defeat and lived in the deep mountains of a neighboring country to recuperate.

The king of the neighboring country was very dissatisfied with Wan Yan Fei, and at this time, Wan Yan Fei's political opponent greatly led Yeluqi to make a surprise plan.

"King, we can combine strength and weakness with yin and yang to retreat. ”

"Commander, let's discuss it together!"

Jeruqi took out a scroll, and the servant beside the king of the neighboring country took it and presented it.

"Destroy the Heavenly Empire, divide the Heavenly Empire, how to destroy it, how to divide it?"

As soon as the king of the neighboring country said this, the courtiers did not know why, and Yeluqi slowly spoke.

"Now that Wan Yanfei has fought a big defeat in front, our army has lost 100,000 elite soldiers, whether it is in terms of troops or weapons, it is not comparable to the Celestial Empire, and this battle will not lead to any results, maybe it will bring ruin to my neighbors!"

"Nonsense! Yeluqi is so bold that he dares to say that my neighbor is not as good as the Celestial Empire!" Wan Yanfei's colleague pointed at Yeluqi with angry eyes and said.

"Is it alarmist, the king is free to make decisions in his heart. ”

The eyes of the neighboring king were obscure, and the falcon-like gaze flowed back and forth between Yeluqi and the man, and then let Yeluqi continue.

"Great King, the so-called Destruction of the Heavenly Empire is that this war has begun, and my neighbors must not lose, once they lose, they will never recover. ”

"I know this better than you, to the point!" said the king of the neighboring country to Yeluqi with some impatience.

"Therefore, the destruction of the Heavenly Empire requires the help of external forces. Rongdi in the northwest was enemies with the Celestial Empire, and there were often skirmishes in the border areas. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and if we unite with the Northwest Rongdi to fight the Celestial Empire, the chances of victory will be greatly increased. ”

The king of the neighboring country sighed and said, "Do you think I haven't thought of this method? It's just that the Northwest Rongdi has always been unpleasant to us, and I'm afraid he may not be able to send troops." ”

Yeluqi shook his head and said, "That's why I have the next one...... Divided into Celestial Empires. ”

"You mean, we will unite with the Northwest Rongdi and defeat the Celestial Empire before dividing up the Celestial Empire?"

Yeluqi immediately bowed to the king of the neighboring country: "The king is wise! ”

After deliberation among the courtiers of the neighboring countries, a two-pronged strategy was proposed.

The first is to unite with the northwest Rongdi to attack head-on, and the second is to let the merchants spread the news that the Celestial Empire is going to fail to shake the people's hearts, and in time, the defeat of the Celestial Empire will become an inevitable result.

"It's a two-pronged approach, and I can't imagine that there are such talents as Yeluqi in neighboring countries. Ye Haixuan sighed and sighed.

"I think their two-pronged approach is doomed to be a failure. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled, as if he was relaxed.

The prefect nodded, but Ye Haixuan didn't know why.

"Commander Ye, I can't fight. Governing the country, you can't do it. Therefore, you are the minister, and I am the king. ”

Ye Haixuan deeply agreed with this, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued.

"This two-pronged approach can only work when the Celestial Empire is shaken and the mountains and rivers are drifting. Now our Celestial Empire is vast and the people are living in abundance. I am afraid that the people who believe such rumors are only a minority. ”

"Let's stop the loss in time now, so that these news will die before they have time to spread wildly. Also catching these big businessmen is tantamount to choking the throat of a neighboring country. ”

Ye Haixuan was puzzled, and after a while, he had an epiphany: "Yes, I have been a soldier for so long, but I forgot that I was also a businessman." ”

The conspiracy of the neighboring countries and the merchants was crushed when the merchants were caught. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter to the world and explained the reason to the people of the Celestial Empire.

For a while, the hearts of the people of the Celestial Empire were unprecedented, and He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao were also very excited after receiving the news!

"Boss, you're so powerful! Sure enough, that's fake news, and the neighbors are too vicious! If we can't beat it, we'll spread rumors! Now, all their businessmen have been arrested!"

He Jingjing, who has been ill for a long time, is now free, checking accounts at the counter every day, and chatting with guests by the way.

"I'm not powerful at all, it's just that I always believe that the Celestial Empire will never lose, at least His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Commander Ye are absolutely invincible!"

The guests were all surprised: "Why is the proprietress so determined? Who can tell what is going on on the battlefield? There should always be victory and defeat, right?"

He Jingjing shook her head and stopped answering.

Those who drink wine drink wine, those who eat meat eat meat, He Jingjing's abacus is clanging, and she is in a good mood every day.

The reputation of the lotus leaf building has also been thoroughly promoted, and the people who come every day are all kinds and lively.

The Celestial Empire is lively here, and the halls of neighboring countries are not far behind.

"Yeluqi! It's all your good idea! The merchants of my neighboring country have been caught! Now, isn't my neighbor going to drink the northwest wind!"

There is little grain in the neighboring countries, and many people have to import food from the Celestial Empire, relying on these merchants.

More than half of the people arrested this time were grain merchants. Seeing that no one had come back from buying grain from the Celestial Empire, the price of grain in neighboring countries had doubled several times at once.

"The king!" said Yeluqi, who really didn't understand how his clever plan had failed.

"You go home and ground, give me a good reflection!"

Now that the matter on the merchant's side has been settled, the matter of a frontal siege is not a problem.

As long as the heavens are united, they are not afraid of others calling.

It's just that Ye Haixuan has other ideas in his heart.

It was night, and the commander of the Celestial Empire military camp led the tent.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Hai Xuan admires. The country has you, and the people are welfare!"

Alcohol was banned in the barracks, and Ye Haixuan used tea instead of wine to toast His Royal Highness the Prince's letter to the Celestial Dynasty.

"Commander Ye fights harder, I'm just playing tricks, and you have to worry more about things on the battlefield. ”

Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a trance, Ye Haixuan was a little puzzled.

Since ancient times, there has been a difference between monarchs and ministers, although he intends to distance His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from himself, but every time he pulls away slightly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take the initiative to approach.

So after coming to the battlefield for so long, the two of them are still like brothers. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only does not look like a prince, but sometimes even looks like the bodyguard of the Grand Commander.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is something I have never understood. In the end, Ye Haixuan still spoke.

"What's the matter?"

"Why don't you treat me like a king?"
