Chapter 55: In the Dead of Night Conclave
Wang Zihui is no longer a stupid boy who only knows daily training, he studies the art of war and politics in the middle of the night, at a time that Yingxu and Yingming can't grasp. He secretly enveloped some reliable ministers, and secretly informed them of the current situation of the Eagle Kingdom's internal and external troubles, although the part of Xiao Qi was hidden, but it still made the ministers see the hardships of survival at the moment. Queen Lan and Princess Rong also assisted him wholeheartedly. At this moment, the hearts of these families are completely together.
"Wang Zihui, what if the small people of Huadu attack on the day of our war with Eagle Wind?" General Zuo Qing asked, everyone has their own strategy in their hearts about this matter, but only by unifying can they meet the battle together.
"Then both of them must be considering taking advantage of the situation, maybe they are both waiting for the other to strike first." Yinghui did not answer directly, but analyzed the current situation.
"It must be like this, so why don't we attack first and defeat the other side?" He was born in an ordinary family, and became an official little by little through hard work, and then his prestige among the people was very high and he was known by the Eagle King, and now he is an official in the court. The greater the promotion, the more he always reminded himself of his original intention of being an official, and from time to time he went to the people to understand the sufferings and report to the court. Therefore, Wang Zihui is very optimistic about him. It's just a military war, which is his shortcoming.
"Master Xingzhi, do you think, if we start the war first, then the other side will definitely not wait for us to finish the first battle before attacking, how is this different from the enemy attacking first?" General Zuo Qing patiently explained that military attachés generally dislike the poverty and sourness of civilian officials, but Xingzhi admires honesty and justice very much.
"What General Zuo Qing said is true. It's just that the old man is thinking, wouldn't it be better if we just led them to one place, avoiding the dense areas where the people lived, to start a war? Rather than let them lead us to war and make the people miserable, it is better for us to strike first. ”
"What Lord Xingzhi said is not unreasonable." Some of the other officials responded, some were silently thinking, and Zuo Qing still frowned although he nodded. Xingzhi makes sense, but it's not easy to implement. How to seize the initiative and minimize the losses of the people and the country is bound to be a problem.
"Besides, we don't know the situation of the enemy army." Another minister asked a new question: "We have not lived with the flower for a long time, and the people of the Eagle Kingdom are no longer familiar with overcoming the flower poison, and if they attack our soldiers with the poison, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to fight." ”
Hearing this, Yinghui couldn't help but think of Xue Xin again, she gave her father such a cruel poison, how could she let go of the soldiers and people of the Eagle Kingdom?
Seeing that Wang Zihui was silent, Lord Changfeng spoke: "You adults don't know, Huadu Zimin has always been cautious about poison, and using poison once is a consumption of life. If you want to poison so many soldiers in our country at once, you will have to sacrifice a lot of lives. I'm afraid that by that time, even if we all fall, there will be few of them left. ”
Changfeng's words reassured the ministers and Queen Lan a little, but Yinghui and Yingrong were still frowning. Ying Rong knew that there were some things that his brother couldn't say, so he asked: "But Master Changfeng, my father has been poisoned so deeply, won't the person who poisoned him want to die?" ”
"There are only two people in the Huadu Kingdom, who are born with a toxicity that ordinary people can't cultivate, and that is the Queen of Huadu and her sister." Changfeng returned to the road.
"So, if they use poison, won't they poison us without any harm?" The ministers were worried.
"Not really. The person who poisoned the king must have been Princess Xue Xin of Huadu Kingdom, and she was only poisoning the king at that time. You can recover by going back and recuperating. If she wants to poison the soldiers to death, I am afraid that she will also take her life. "Changfeng has lived a long time, experienced a lot, and knows the most.
Saying that Xue Xin was going to take his life, Yinghui obviously couldn't sit still, Yingrong held his hand on the side, calmed his emotions, and said: "Their princess can sacrifice her life, and our princess will naturally not retreat." Ying Rong's tone was so firm, even if the ministers were distressed, they were even more moved. Ying Rong said this, firstly, to divert his brother's emotions so as not to be discovered, and on the other hand, to allow the ministers to strengthen their beliefs and fight to the death. Sure enough, Ying Rong's words worked.
"Kings, queens, princes, and princesses rest assured that we will do our best for the motherland." General Zuo Qing took the lead, and the ministers all knelt down and saluted.
"Zhong Aiqing, please get up." Queen Lan, who had not spoken, was very moved, her previous silence was to choose to let go at this time to give Wang Zihui a chance to exercise, but now she was moved by Rong'er's righteousness and the focus of the ministers. After all, I can't get rid of all this fault.
"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, we are one heart at this time. We should pay more attention to the current situation. Seeing this, Yinghui became more and more aware of his responsibilities. He wanted to use every favorable time to analyse the situation.
"Weichen thinks, if Eagle Wind and Huadu join forces, what are our chances of winning?" One of the ministers had a question in his mind.
"No, it won't." Yinghui spoke, he knew Xue Xin, compared to Xue Xin, he would not disdain to be in the same stream as Ying Feng.
"Why?" The ministers were puzzled.
"If you want to join forces, when Princess Huadu poisoned my father, I haven't trained to do so, and they will attack at that time, and the odds are greater. Presumably, the two sides have not reached cooperation all along, and they have no complete chance of winning, so they have been holding their ground and waiting for the time to come. Wang Zihui explained.
"What Wang Zihui said makes sense, in that case, let's make a battle plan that can grasp the initiative according to Lord Xingzhi's suggestion at this moment." A minister chimed in.
"There's no rush today, you guys go back and think about it first, and we'll talk about it another day. Don't rush everything, you must think it through. Wang Zihui said.
The ministers were a little puzzled, everyone was in the mood at this time, why not discuss it while it was hot?
"What Wang Zihui said is that it is late at night, and I am afraid that not enough rest will affect your thinking and judgment." Changfeng explained. Changfeng was an old doctor and an important minister, and although his words could not make the courtiers fully accept the sudden dissolution of the meeting, he was still convinced.
"The ministers are leaving." Xingzhi took the lead, and the ministers retreated.
Changfeng asked, "Wang Zihui is tired?" ”
"I'm a little tired, you can give me some more medicine. Ever since Rong'er gave me a little blood a day, I've always been tired. Yinghui said.
"Xu is Rong'er's weak body and has delayed his brother." Ying Rong blamed himself a little.
"No, it's not your fault." Yinghui comforted.
"You're the first prince to try to absorb a little bit of the princess's blood, so I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it a little bit." Queen Lan said distressedly.
"Queen Mother's ········" Rong'er snuggled in the queen's arms, "Rong'er is grateful to the queen mother for making this decision in order to save Rong'er's life, and she has to work hard for her brother to make more sins." ”
"You are my child, how can I be willing to lose you?" Queen Lan was very gentle.
"That is, you are my sister, the person I have cherished the most since I was a child, how can I sacrifice you for myself?" Yinghui touched Rong'er's head.
The warmth of this family of three at this moment was seen by the other two people.
