Chapter 172: Return to Beijing
Xiao Yu'an laughed suddenly, took a long breath, his mood also relaxed, his mood relaxed, and some thoughts came up inexplicably, "Sometimes I am thinking, why do we want to be Qinwang, we have been questioned so much along the way, why don't we use strong means to recover them directly, we have Qinwang's order, we have the sword of the Son of Heaven, we can directly order, why don't we do this, but step by step, we have to Qinwang step by step, spend a lot of time to make them believe and make them surrender?" Later I figured it out. ”
Seventeen and Yiren looked at the stars in the sky and listened quietly.
"For the future! Our gentle methods are stupid in the eyes of others, but they can avoid future contradictions, no one will question them, and without questioning, there will be no conflict, and there will be no situation like today, and the longer Xiao Ye sits in that position, the more completely he will lose, and what we consume is his chance to start all over again. ”
"Yo, Xiao Shizi, you think a lot!" Seventeen Yin and Yang were angry, and they were punched in the chest by Yiren, and Yiren smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, don't worry about him, he is envious that you are smarter than him." ”
Xiao Yu'an smiled helplessly, handed over the wine jug in his hand, took a sip of Seventeen, and handed it to Yiren, Yiren took a sip and handed it to Seventeen, and Seventeen took another sip and gave it to Xiao Yu'an, so back and forth, they talked about their ambitions, their expectations, their acquaintances, their past, and their hopes for the future, and remembered the little boy with a clear heart.
Tonight, they are close to each other, become each other's dependence, and expect to become what they are like in their hearts.
One night's indulgence in exchange for the next day's depression, Yiren and Xiao Yu'an are okay, the most headache is seventeen, I don't know whose tent I slept in early in the morning, there is no one, he asked a few people to find the main tent.
"We started from here, this is the border area, Xiao Ye doesn't dare to ...... easily"
"Why don't you call me?" Seventeen squeezed away the two generals around him, and squeezed to the side of the Yiren, standing crookedly and without the strength to speak.
Yiren pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to stand up, Xiao Yu'an gave him the map in his hand, "Called, you didn't wake up, look at the route we just planned, what's wrong." ”
Seventeen took a cursory look at it, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was too steady and closer, which would take more time, but avoid more conflicts.
"There's nothing wrong with the route, it's just that the further we go, the more difficult it is to recover, and we have to determine how we can recover them in the shortest possible time."
After all, Xiao Ye has already ascended the throne, if they want to use such a gentle method, the difficulty of King Qin will only be greater, Xiao Yu'an nodded in agreement.
After the discussion, they did not hesitate for a moment, and went directly north, the northern army is already strong, and the military orders are strict, if you want them to recognize, you have to make a lot of effort, after more than a month, after the vicissitudes of life, they can only say that they have just stepped into the north, although the morale is high all the way, but there is no movement on Xiao Ye's side, the more panicked they are.
On this day, the seventeen and thirteen men were planning their route in the main tent, and according to their current schedule, they could reach the northern border in a month at most, so this month was very crucial, and they had to proceed cautiously.
Seventeen pointed to the location of the northern border on the map, "Although the northern border is peaceful, but because there is a general Zhenguo guarding it, even after we arrive, he will only send troops to us, so we are not only going north now, but also observing the best route to the north along the road, and then we will have no turning back." ”
Xiao Yu'an pointed to the nearest road to Kyoto in the north, "This road, although there are many towns along the road, can just promote ...... for us."
"Shizi! Oh no! Qi Luo rushed from outside and knocked over the candlestick in front of the door.
"What does it look like to be in a panic, the military regulations of the past few months have been learned in vain?"
Qi Luo didn't speak, he looked at Xiao Yu'an in a daze, his throat was dry and he kept swallowing saliva, and his eyes were slightly red, Yiren realized that he was wrong, "Qi Luo, what's wrong?" ”
"Shizi, Hou, Hou Ye, he ......" Qi Luo didn't finish speaking, Xiao Yu'an snapped his shoulders violently, "What's wrong with my father?" ”
Seventeen pulled him away, "Don't panic first, listen to what Qi Luo said, how can Marquis Xiao also have prestige among the hundred officials, Xiao Ye doesn't dare to move him at will." ”
Xiao Yu'an stabilized his mind at this time, and said together: "After Xiao decided to enter Beijing, there was no one to guard the eastern border, the barbarians were rampant, and there was a war, Xiao Ye sent Hou Ye to guard it, not long ago, Hou Ye lost the battle, and there were people ......."
"Say!"
"Some people say that it is the Hou Ye who collaborates with the enemy and treason, so he will give the barbarians a chance."
"Ridiculous!" Xiao Yu'an couldn't control his emotions, and in a hurry, he swept away all the things on the table with a wave of his sleeves, "Who doesn't know that the eastern border is his Xiao Ye's territory, even if he Xiao Ye is not there, can he let those barbarians spread wild on his territory?" ”
Of course, these discerning people know, but there is no evidence, the eastern border is in turmoil, no one is guarded, only Marquis Xiao has the greatest prestige in the whole Kyoto, and he is justified in sending him to guard the town, who dares to say that he is selfish, but the fact is that even if Marquis Xiao goes to guard, the eastern border is full of his Xiao Ye's people, not only that, why did the barbarians in the east suddenly have a war, the eastern border has not had a war for ten years, and the relationship with Yan is not bad, how can there be a war at this moment, it is really strange.
But now they can't think so much, Qi Luo handed him the secret letter in his hand, "Hou Ye is now urgently recruited back to Beijing to ask for the guilt, Xiao Ye secretly instigated the people to crusade, and wanted to put Hou Ye to death." ”
"Boom", Xiao Yu'an's brain exploded completely, and he barely stood firm with his hands on the table, "What else, keep talking." ”
"Hou Ye collaborated with the enemy and treason, trying to give up the eastern border to gain the support of foreign countries, and the prince was not King Qin at all, King Qin was a scam at all, and there was no edict, but the father and son secretly communicated with each other, trying to seek power and usurp the throne."
Seeing this, Yiren and Seventeen glanced at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes, tacitly, Seventeen stepped forward to stabilize Xiao Yu'an's arm that was blue and trembling slightly because he was too hard, "Yu'an, don't be too anxious, Xiao ......"
Xiao Yu'an waved his arm away, and his tone was firm, "I want to go back to Kyoto." ”
Yiren knew his current mood, signaled Seventeen not to say more, asked him to calm down, and asked Qi Luo to follow.
When there were only them in the tent, Yi Ren expressed his doubts just now, "Why did Xiao Ye do this?" Marquis Xiao is a person with prestige in the court, even if he is an overlord, he can't completely ignore the wishes of the hundred officials, so he is not afraid of offending the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? ”
Marquis Xiao is a military general, but he also has the admiration of civil officials, Xiao Ye is against him, there is no doubt that it will do him no harm, unless there is something that makes him more important than getting the support of hundreds of officials, and makes him jealous, but he has already sat in that position, what else is there?
The bright sun shone in through the window, and the ground fell golden, and Seventeen flashed and reacted suddenly.
