Chapter 175: The Yue Kingdom is gone, is there still a need for you to exist?
An order was issued in King Jing's mansion, and Yongzhou City immediately entered a state of readiness.
Zhu Xuan immediately ordered to mobilize all his soldiers and horses to several city gates, and the spies in front reported that the Yue army had set up camp at a place called Huanqiu, twenty miles away from the city.
It seems that there is no intention of attacking the city immediately.
Under the persuasion of King Jing, Tong Ji, as well as the governors of King Jing's Mansion and the officials of Yongzhou, Zhu Fengcai did not immediately lead the troops to the battle, and everyone invited him back to the room to rest, and they all guaranteed that King Jing could stick to Yongzhou, and this matter did not require His Majesty the Emperor to work a little.
However, when he returned to his room, Zhu Yan kicked over a maid who knelt at the door to greet him.
"Ahh
The maid was caught off guard and exclaimed, and when Zhu Xuan heard it, she was even more furious, and said angrily: "Drag this king down, and the rod will be punished forty!" β
The maid was so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Tong Ji glanced at it, the maid was still a little colored, and said, "Brother-in-law, this matter can't be solved by beating people, forget it." β
After saying that, he gave a look to the people outside, and someone dragged the maid out, and the others also pushed out of the room, leaving only the two of them.
Zhu Yan sat down at the table and slapped his palm on the table.
"Bastard, how can this be? The emperor will return to Jinling in just a few days, why at this time, those barbarians of Yue Kingdom will actually violate the border? Xiahou Jiao, has he forgotten the covenant between us?! β
The Xiahou Jie in his mouth is none other than the general who is now in power in the Yue Kingdom.
Tong Ji walked up to him and said with a solemn expression: "However, some time ago, we all got along very well, everyone took what they needed, and he also needed to establish prestige in the country like this, how could it beββ"
Zhu Xuan groaned for a while, and suddenly said, "Tong Ji, has the grain that was to be delivered to Xiahou Jiu a few days ago been transported?" β
Tong Ji hurriedly said: "I haven't seen my brother-in-law in the past two days, I actually wanted to tell you that I have already sent it over." β
"Damn, the king gave him the victory he wanted, and the people he wanted, the king, let him plunder and provide him with grain and grass, and he actually rebelled and came again!"
ββ¦β¦β
"If he still wants to do this, then it is better to take this opportunity to destroy the Yue Kingdom!"
"Brother-in-law, no!"
"Why not? Before, the king and Xiahou had a draw, but now, the emperor is in Yongzhou. You must know that all the generals of our Great Yan Dynasty have fought more battles than him. β
ββ¦β¦β
"If he were with this kingβ"
Tong Ji hurriedly said: "You must not really entangle with Xiahou and turn your face with Yueguo." β
Zhu Xuan was furious: "Why? They are all so treacherous! β
Tong Yu walked over and opened the door, looked outside a few times, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping around, so he walked back and said softly: "Brother-in-law, you think that if you ask for Yanyun's fiefdom to no avail, it has already made the emperor a little dissatisfied with you." If this time, you really borrow the emperor's hand to fight with Yue Guo - if you are defeated, not to mention the destruction of your family, even if you win, brother-in-law, how do you deal with yourself? β
Zhu Yan's brows furrowed.
Tong Ji said: "The reason why my brother-in-law has always been able to ask the court for military salaries, and there is a reward for every battle regardless of victory or defeat, is because of the existence of the Yue Kingdom, and the emperor needs you to guard Yongzhou." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Yue Guo is gone, brother-in-law, do you still have to exist?"
