Chapter 326: The Verge (1)
"His Royal Highness the King Sun, His Royal Highness the Prince, the King announced that you two are here!" The eunuch was panting.
"Didn't you just announce it? What's wrong? Qi Zhan asked hurriedly.
Yuan Che was also confused.
"I heard it is...... There was an uprising in Chudi, and the king said that the opportunity was rare, and he wanted to ...... To ......"
Before the eunuch finished speaking, the two of them had already walked out of the front hall without looking back, and Qi Zhan did not forget to instruct while walking: "Take care of the box, no one is allowed to move." β
At this time, they were all immersed in the news of the uprising in Chudi, and none of them had the heart to fight with each other anymore, so they all kept rushing to face the saint. Yuan Che couldn't help but be excited, thinking that King Ning had summoned him again, and thought that King Ning was going to give him another chance. And Qi Zhan, when he heard the news, his heart was complicated, and the taste was indescribable.
King Ning was already extremely tired today, but as soon as he heard the news of the uprising in Chudi, he immediately realized that it was Yunchen who was behind the scenes, and since Yunchen had brought this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to him, he naturally would not let it slip away. So, he dragged his tired body and called his two grandchildren again.
When he saw Yuan Che coming in with Qi Zhan, he had already guessed what had just happened, his face turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "Che'er came quickly." β
Yuan Che was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.
King Ning didn't bother to teach him a lesson at the moment, so he only unfolded a military newspaper in his hand and summoned him and Qi Zhan to come forward to study it. However, it is said that there was an uprising in Chu in early July this year, and the leaders declared that they would "oppose Yan autonomy and restore the Chu clan", and instigated more than 10,000 people to rise up. When Yan King Nie Xingyi was the prince in the past, he wanted to "counter violence with violence", but now he has been a hollow Yan King for a few years, but somehow he suddenly changed his temperament, declaring that "we must focus on appeasement, not suppress by force". Now, Yan has sent officials to negotiate, and the two sides are in a stalemate and have not used force.
After reading this report, Qi Zhan and Yuan Che had different thoughts. King Ning showed an unprecedented smile today and looked at Yuan Che: "Che'er, what do you think?" β
Yuan Che immediately replied: "The uprising in Chudi, the Yan Kingdom will be affected, this golden opportunity, Grandfather Wang, you must take the opportunity to fight!" β
King Ning was noncommittal, and asked Qi Zhan again: "What do you say, Zhan'er?" β
Qi Zhan shook his head in confusion: "Grandson doesn't know." β
Yuan Che immediately showed disdain, and said in his heart that he couldn't even understand such a simple situation, it was stupid!
But instead of getting angry, King KΓΆning asked him, "Oh? Why don't you know? β
Qi Zhan pondered for a moment before he said: "Sun Er just thinks it's very strange, the number of people in the uprising is not large, only more than 10,000 people, and it doesn't take much manpower and material resources to suppress it, and it doesn't take time." Nie Xingji is not in Yan Kingdom, Nie Xingyi is in charge, why is he unwilling to 'counter violence with violence'? This is obviously more effective and faster than peace talks. What does he mean? Is it because he is afraid of arousing the anger of the Chu people? Still is...... The grandson couldn't figure it out. β
King Ning's eyes showed a look of approval, and he turned to point to Yuan Che: "Did you hear that?" The more deeply you see, the less you can easily express your opinion, but rather think it out. The reason why you are quick to express your stance proves that you are still too superficial! β
Yuan Che said that he was teachable and did not dare to talk back.
King Ning looked at Qi Zhan again, and asked him again: "You come to analyze and analyze, why does Nie Xingyi want to negotiate peace?" β
Qi Zhan showed embarrassment: "Grandson...... I really can't tell. Could it be because he had a discord with Nie Xingji and wanted to take the opportunity to pull his back legs? β
King Ning sighed, shook his head and denied: "Nie Xingyi is not a fool, the Yan army is on the front line at this moment, if he pulls Nie Xingji's hind legs, it will be equivalent to pulling the hind legs of the Yan army, once the Yan army is defeated, will he have good fruits to eat?" I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep the position of King Yan. β
Qi Zhan immediately replied: "It's that Sun Er is thinking too superficially. β
King Ning took the opportunity to say again: "I thought that Nie Xingyi did not send troops to suppress it, it should be because of the troops. At present, the military power is in the hands of Nie Xingji, and he can't mobilize the people in Beijing at all, and he doesn't dare to do so. Moreover, once the army is dispatched, Jingzhou guards the void, and it is easy for people to take advantage of it. He didn't dare to take any chances. β
"But if the uprising of the Chu State is not curbed for a long time, won't it also pull the Yan army back? What if Chudi really took the opportunity to return to the country? Yuan Che asked.
"Restoration?" King Ning smiled: "Don't say that Nie Xingji refuses, and neither does Lonely." Who would want to play against multiple opponents? I am afraid that this matter is Yunchen's plan to rebel, he wants to disturb the hearts of the Yan people with this move, and it is best to set off a dispute between the two Nie Xingji brothers again, resulting in the defeat of the Yan Kingdom. β
"Can Yunchen be so stupid? Didn't he take this step and let us take advantage of it for nothing? Qi Zhan didn't believe it.
"Is there any other way for him to go now? Didn't he come to my Ning Kingdom himself? King Ning's mood gradually became better: "He must want to borrow Lone's hand to destroy Yan Kingdom first, and then wait for a hundred years of Lonely, and then he will think of turning against Ning Kingdom and recovering the country." β
"It's going to take a long time." Yuan Che smiled, and he didn't know whether to depreciate or praise in his words.
King Ning also smiled: "Although Lone is not longer than him, he has seen more than him, so naturally he will not let him succeed." However, it is profitable in front of him, and I have to thank him for containing Yan Guo. β
At this point, King Ning paused: "Of course, in return, Lone will help him." β
"Do you want to ......" Qi Zhan guessed some: "Do you want to send troops around Chu to help Yunchen add a fire?" β
"Yes, you've finally got the hang of it." King Ning laughed twice: "We are bordering Chu, if we want to send troops, we will naturally not know it, not only can we force Yan Guo to send troops to suppress it, but also disrupt Yunchen's plan, so that he will not be able to return to the country." β
Yuan Che thought about it in his heart, and felt that this plan was very clever, and immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Grandfather Wang is really wise, this idea is very good!" β
"Zhan'er also thought of it, why don't you praise him?" King Ning asked.
"Uh......" Yuan Che was dumped by King Ning, so he had to turn to Qi Zhan and pull out a reluctant smile: "Brother Zhan is really ...... Hehe, Grandfather Wang didn't hurt you in vain. β
This was said sourly, but Qi Zhan didn't care, he didn't even look at him, he only asked King Ning: "Grandfather Wang, grandson is willing to lead the army to Chudi." β
Yuan Che saw that he was preempted by Qi Zhan, and he hated it in his heart, secretly regretting that he was too fast when he shouldn't have spoken, and he fell behind when he should have spoken.
However, in the face of Qi Zhan's invitation, King Ning waved his hand and vetoed without thinking: "You can't, this errand seems simple, but it's not. The situation in Chu is complicated, and not only to fan the flames, but also to face the people of Yan and Chu at the same time, one of them will be defeated and die if he is not careful. You are straight-minded, and you are only suitable for head-on confrontation, not for stirring up trouble behind the scenes. β
When Yuan Che heard this, his heart was excited, and he thought that King Ning was going to choose him. He couldn't help but quietly stepped forward and took half a step, and was about to open his mouth to ask for his life, but unexpectedly, King Ning's voice changed, and he continued: "Gu is ready to send a veteran with sufficient experience to go over, this kind of thing, the hairy boy has no experience, and he is not Yunchen's opponent." β
Yuan Che's mind instantly turned cold, and he couldn't help but complain: "Even if he is an experienced veteran, he may not be Yunchen's opponent." β
When King Ning heard this, he suddenly reached out and slapped his head fiercely: "Do you still need to say this?" Isn't Lonely better than you? Grow others to destroy their own prestige! Bastard thing! β
With this move, King Ning accidentally slapped the wound on Yuan Che's forehead, and he couldn't help but "hiss".
Seeing this, King Ning snorted coldly, withdrew his hand and said, "Speaking of which, the key now is still in Yunchen. As long as he is not in Chudi, let him have a thousand schemes and thoughts, his power will be halved! Lone has nothing to worry about. β
Qi Zhan immediately continued: "It is definitely impossible for him to be in Chudi, Brother Che only broke up with him in Fengzhou half a month ago, in such a short time, he can't run back to Chudi at all, and he is still slightly injured with serious injuries...... Uh, the grandson is talking about the lord of Yanlan. β
When Yuan Che heard this, he already had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and sure enough, King Ning looked at him and said, "So the key at present is to find Yunchen and prevent him from escaping back to Chudi." Che'er, I'll leave this matter to you. β
"Me?" Hara Che pointed at himself with wide eyes.
"How?" King Ning sank his face again: "You put the person, and in Fengzhou, who don't you go to find it?" β
"But...... However...... "the original face is difficult.
"It's easy to put it in, but it's hard to find it?" King Ning said coldly: "Clean up your own troubles!" You'll leave tomorrow! β
"But...... Yunchen is scheming, and his grandson is afraid of him...... "Yuan Chezhi didn't say any more.
"What are you afraid of? He is still a courtier of my Ning Kingdom! The courtiers fled, and you are famous! Wherever you go, you can justify the pursuit! King Ning slapped the table and suddenly stood up: "Lone will give you the next holy decree to summon him back, if he dares to resist the decree, he will be killed!" β
"Are you really going to kill him?" This time, not only Yuan Che was surprised, but Qi Zhan was also shocked, after all, now that Ning Yan was fighting, it was the right time to use him.
"In the past, he was useful, and Lone kept him, but now his role has been completed, if he refuses to obey......" King Ning's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light: "Kill and kill." β
"What about Weinong?" The two grandsons asked together, they had never worked together so together.
"She ......" King Ning's face became very complicated, and he looked at the table for a long time before he said, "Leave her." β
"As for Zhan'er," King Ning cautiously raised his hand and pointed at Qi Zhan, "you have to be ready to face the battle at any time." I heard that Nie Xingji was seriously injured and unconscious, and I am afraid that there will be fraud in it, so you should be more careful. β
"Remember, war is a state affair, don't use Momen to inquire!"
*****
The next day, Yuan Che set out to find Yunchen, he was actually quite unhappy about this matter, but because of this defeat, he really didn't dare to disobey King Ning's intentions. It's just that in contrast, Qi Zhan was required to carefully study the book of war, preparing to fight with the Yan army again in the near future, and strive to recover Youzhou.
Yuan Che was angry about this. The things on the scene were all taken up by Qi Zhan, leaving this thankless errand to him, if there is really anything worth comforting, that is, he can see the slightly thick side again. Yuan Che thought so, and hurried towards Fengzhou with hatred, but where did he know that Yunchen had arrived at the secret stronghold of Yanzhou at this time.
