: The Gathering of the Storm Chapter 158 Ambition is vigorous
Rin listened quietly.
Those past events are like the wind, and with that gentle voice, little by little revival in my heart.
The past is like a dream, in the dream, every bit of joy, every bit of pain, unforgettable, there is Rong Qian's figure.
All the firsts in his life seemed to bear the mark of that man.
In my first memory, the man was dressed in a scarlet robe and smiled faintly. The first words spoken, the first steps taken, the first time I picked up a pen and wrote, the first time I rode a horse and stretched a bow, and ......
The first time I was left out, the first time I was ostracized, the first time I felt sad.
But why forget? Forget those joys, and only remember the hurt suffered, forget the gentle smile, the warm embrace, the day and night of the guardian teachings, forget the care and love at that moment.
How could he really believe that he would hurt him? Has he turned his back on him? How could he be so ruthless, without blinking an eye, laying out layers of killing games to target him.
Rong Qian saw that Yan Rin's expression was soft and melancholy at the beginning, and gradually became sad and lonely, and he knew in his heart that this child was inexplicably sad again, and he blamed himself for suffering. Sighing secretly, he stroked his chest, and suddenly coughed non-stop.
Yan Rin was slightly startled when she heard Rong Qian's cough, woke up, and saw that Rong Qian was stroking his chest and coughing, his face gradually turned red, and he was so frightened that he quickly stood up, hurriedly helped him stroke his chest and pat his back, and shouted in panic: "Rong Xiang......"
Where Rong Qian really coughed, it was just to divide his thoughts. Yan Rin, a person who has never waited for anyone, .|Pounding his back, he quickly pulled his hand to stop him: "It's okay, it's just that the gust of wind just now was a little cold." ”
Yan Rin didn't think much about it, and as soon as he turned his hand, he untied his cloak with coiled dragon gold embroidery and draped it directly on Rong Qian's body, and then asked a little stunned: "Was there wind just now?" ”
"What were you doing just now? Didn't feel the wind so strong? ”
Rong Qian said nonsense with confidence, and pulled his cloak together, feeling that he was completely encompassed by Yan Rin's breath, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It seemed like just yesterday, he opened his arms and cared for the little child between his chest, but now it was his turn......
He smiled and stared at the handsome young man who stood tall.
Alas, his children. Grew up.
Yan Rin was forced into a daze by Rong Qian's strong question just now, and she didn't notice Rong Qian's slightly emotional expression for a while.
I don't know if it's one thing over another, although Yan Rin is also a very smart and capable person, but in front of Rong Qian, he is always at a loss and his brain is not enough, how dare he answer that he was thinking about some unpleasant past events just now. I had to follow the original topic.
"I'm thinking that it was because of me that Rong Xiang didn't have time to take care of his own personal affairs. Now. I've grown up, and I don't have to worry too much about state affairs. I'm in the palace, and I can't often accompany Rong Xiang, Rong Xiang can't help but be lonely next to him, shouldn't I have a companion? ”
Yan Rin initially said so. It was purely to deal with Rong Qian's questioning, but the words came out of his mouth naturally, and he quietly felt some emotion in his heart.
Back then, he took up Rong Qian's time. Now that I have really grown up, I can share the time I can spend with Rong Qian, but it is pitiful.
He is the emperor of Yan Kingdom, the husband of Lechangdi, the father of the unborn child, so many identities, so many people and things to care about, and this person he feels is the most important, but he can only be trapped in this luxurious Guogong Mansion, waiting lonely, recalling the child who was always by his side many years ago.
Rong Qian smiled when he heard this: "You, you think too much. It's not that I don't want to think about this husband and wife, it's just that everything is fate, and I don't have to do it deliberately. If I meet the right person, it is naturally good, if not, I will live a wonderful life in this life. If you find a beautiful woman to come to your side, you may not really be a good companion. ”
He gently patted the back of Yan Rin's hand comfortingly: "What's more, I always know how to enjoy myself and how to arrange my life. There is Qing'er around me who will accompany me, and occasionally Wuji will come to play a monkey show for me to amuse me, not to mention ......" He looked at Yan Rin and smiled.
"Didn't you say that whenever you have time, you will come to see me, chat, hunt, and discuss state affairs? Even if I don't go out, I'm not left idle, it's not that I can't do anything. In that case, what is the need to sigh for loneliness? ”
Although Yan Rin sincerely wanted to contribute to Rong Qian's marriage, but hearing Rong Qian's calm statement, he still felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart. secretly laughed at himself, and he was still selfish and jealous, but he still unconsciously let the smile come out of his eyes.
Hearing Rong Qian mention what he said last time, he suddenly remembered that national event, and hurriedly took out the secret letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "Rong Xiang, look." ”
At this time, his mood was surprisingly happy and relaxed, like a child, and he couldn't wait to share this most important state matter with Rong Qian, hoping that Rong Qian could feel that he was willing to open the state affairs to him and respect the sincerity of his opinions.
While waiting for Rong Qian to read the letter, he explained the details of the whole matter simply and clearly. At the moment, he only felt that this matter was nine out of ten, and Rong Qian would definitely be happy for him when he saw it, and letting Rong Qian share his happiness and achievements was also the most comforting thing for him.
However, Rong Qian read the secret letter very carefully, listened to Yan Rin very patiently, and asked softly, "Your Majesty thinks this is an opportunity?" ”
When he first saw Yan Rin and called him His Majesty, during the conversation, they gradually let go of each other, and began to call Yan Rin directly with the word "you", until this time, he re-called the word "Your Majesty", but it ended the harmony and nature of the spring breeze and Xidi just now, and replaced it with the pattern of the monarch and the minister.
But Yan Rin was full of pride for his first large-scale military plan at this time, and he didn't even notice this very subtle change.
"Naturally. Although Qin is one of the powerful countries in the world, since Qin Xufei led the elite into Chu, Qin's military strength has plummeted. Although over the years, King Qin has worked hard to train his troops and seek generals, but there are lessons from Qin Xu's enclave, after all, it is difficult to collect people's hearts, and the results are very small
As he spoke, Yan Rin was already dancing with his eyebrows: "At this moment, Qin's internal turmoil and clan cannibalism, my Dayan will send troops in the name of being invited to help, and there are no generals in Qin who can recruit soldiers who are used to fighting." How to resist the enemy? ”
Rong Qian looked at Yan Rin's high spirits and sighed in his heart. Judging from the superficial information, Yan Rin made such a judgment, and it really can't be said to be wrong: "Your Majesty thinks that we can annex the Qin State?" ”
Yan Rin smiled and shook his head: "The territory of the Qin State is vast, and there are many people, although there are unscrupulous generals and strong soldiers now, no one can swallow them in one bite." Even if it is occupied by force. It is also inevitable that the people will continue to resist in secret, in that case, our army will inevitably be unable to stop supplying for a long time, and the process of establishing and operating the various important government offices will be extremely long and arduous. ”
He pondered for a moment before continuing: "If you want to completely occupy the Qin State, it will take about four or five years. Four or five years of long, uninterrupted war. For Dayan, the price is too great. To plunge the country into such a long quagmire of war, not only the soldiers at the front are very difficult. The people in the rear who supported the whole campaign will also have a hard time, and besides, other countries will not watch our Dayan completely occupy the Qin State. Such a thing of greed for merit and great things is not advisable. ”
Rong Qian was secretly pleased to face what seemed to be such a favorable condition. In such an attractive situation, you can still see the stakes clearly, but it is not a great success. Understand that the greatest purpose of war is to exchange the least losses for the greatest benefits. Such students are indeed very gratifying to those who are teachers.
"Then what does Your Majesty think is the best outcome of this battle?"
"Yan, Wu, Wei, Chen, and the four countries sent troops to divide and disintegrate the Qin State, and each got a quarter of the land of the Qin State, which is the best, but it is ......"
Yan Rin sneered slightly: "However, the four countries all send troops for their own interests, each under the banner of the prince who wants to help the land, although it is aimed at the Qin State, it is inevitable to intrigue and make stumbling with each other, although it is best to divide it evenly, but I am afraid that no one is willing to share as much as others." Everyone wants to fight for greater interests, and they will definitely turn their faces in the end. That King Qin is not a mediocre person, if he appropriately sow discord and use his strength to fight, he will definitely do it. ”
Yan Rin said confidently: "If this development continues, in the end, it must be the strongest country, and if it successfully helps its partners establish a position in the Qin State, they can take the opportunity to seek more benefits in the future." The other three kingdoms, although they failed in strategic goals, had already taken advantage of Qin's land in this campaign, and in desperation, they would not feel very disadvantaged if they withdrew their troops with enough wealth to compensate. ”
Rong Qian smiled and asked, "Your Majesty thinks that the last winner must be our Yan Kingdom?" ”
"We have to win." Yan Rin said categorically: "The national strength of the country is originally the weakest of the four countries, and it is the most suitable to fight a few battles by surprise and retreat when you get the benefits. Although Chen is not the most powerful country, the Chen people have always been warlike, the Chen army has the most rich combat experience, and the generals and soldiers can fight well, but it is said that the king of Chen has taken the throne a little incorrectly, and a few years ago by colluding with the Zhao State, he seized power in one fell swoop, so the people are not convinced. This time, King Chen is said to be going to conquer in person and use his military exploits to establish his position, but I estimate that as long as Chen Jun stays in Qin for a long time, the backyard of Chen will have to catch fire, and no matter how much King Chen covets the land of Qin, he can only take care of his own fundamentals first, as for King Wu, ......"
Speaking of King Wu, Yan Rin showed sincere admiration: "He founded the country with a reckless body, and he is really a hero of the world." Wu is a newly established country, but in a few years, it has opened up a new atmosphere, as if it is among the most powerful countries in the world. However, it is easy to build a country, but it is difficult to consolidate a country, after all, their foundation is still shallow, and there are still many problems within the country that have yet to be solved. King Wu lacks skills, and he can only send his cronies to go on the expedition, and most of the country's resources cannot be used for war. ”
After Yan Rin calmly explained the situation of the countries, he turned to the Yan Kingdom itself, with a firm and confident expression on his face: "My Great Yan Kingdom, under the painstaking management of Rong Xiang for more than ten years, the country is rich and the people are strong, all industries are prosperous, the political situation is stable, and the treasury is abundant, which is enough to support any large-scale war. In addition, the generals were all good generals who were personally trained by Rong Xiang back then, loyal and capable, and they were categorical, so there was no reason to be invincible. ”
Rong Qian sighed secretly. All the conditions on the bright side, Yan Rin has thought about it repeatedly and analyzed it carefully, he can see this step, he is already extremely capable, but unfortunately, there are still some hidden secrets in the dark, which normal people can't imagine at all.
"In this way, in the end, it is indeed our Yan State that supports the Three Princes, and gives them a chance to win in the Qin State, and then they have a greater chance of winning and returning."
Yan Rin's expression suddenly moved: "Actually, I ......" He hesitated slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
Rong Qian was a little surprised, when it came to this, he still had no reservations. What's more, even Rong Qian himself can't think of anything else.
Yan Rin took a deep breath and suddenly said: "I thought about it, if Lechang gave birth to a daughter, I would support the third prince of Qin, let Qin be a vassal to Yan, and pay tribute every year in the future, specifically asking for Qin's silver and horses, if Lechang gave birth to a son, it will definitely cause a dispute in Dayan in the future, but I don't want to wronged this child's future." If you find an opportunity to slowly kill the royal family of the Qin State, according to the convention, if the bloodline of the male child is cut off, the bloodline of the daughter, if the surname of the maternal line, can also have the power of inheritance......"
At this moment, Rong Qian was also dumbfounded.
