Chapter 204: The Emperor's Worries
The robbery and killing of Jiang Chao by the Ningzhou Mansion and the Ningzhou Seven Bandits was an order issued by Zheng An, but the final result was that the Seven Bandits suffered heavy losses.
Jiang Chao used Hangu Pass to calculate the Seven Bandits Alliance, and after letting Zheng An know about it, he almost went crazy.
But how long has it been?! As soon as they started an incident, the nearly 60,000 troops on the side of the four bandits in Anning actually attacked the backing village, and directly lost 10,000.
Zheng An didn't go crazy immediately, he was already forbearant enough. Now, the henchmen don't know how to deal with Jiang Chao for a while.
If you concentrate on managing the forces around Anning, you will find a way to take down Ningzhou Mansion and use Ningzhou Mansion as a base to extend outward.
If the Khitan Tian clan invades Dazhao, the whole world will be in chaos, and their success will be just around the corner.
It's just that if Jiang Chao doesn't get rid of it, for them, it will be like a man's back, and once Jiang Chao does something behind his back, it will be very troublesome.
In addition, the combat effectiveness of Jiang Chao's private army is too terrifying. If it doesn't work out, it may also eat away at the foundation they have so hard to lay.
"Don't worry about him for the time being, you let Lu Ming and the three of them prepare to support the Heavenly Wolf and them, as long as they take the Zhou Mansion, when the time comes, adjust the strength of the rebel army, can't they still take the next backer village!"
Zheng An didn't get angry again this time, he held back the anger in his heart, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
Speaking of this, he looked at his henchman and said, "Yuan Wang, how did he get back?!" Is it a promise to Ningzhou Mansion that we are both half of the family! If he doesn't agree, then tell him that our rebels will attack them at any time and let them leave Ningzhou Mansion as soon as possible. ”
With Zheng An's voice, the henchman hurriedly replied: "Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, Song Zhen, the prince of the Yuan Dynasty, has already replied and is willing to share Ningzhou Mansion with us equally." Moreover, he also said that the boundary of Ningzhou Mansion will also be divided into two, which will be operated by our two masters. In addition, he hopes that we can form an alliance with the White Lotus Army to help each other. ”
When Zheng An heard this, the corners of his mouth hung a little strange, and his eyes flashed.
Although King Yuan is a relative of the emperor, in order to be able to obtain the supreme position, he does not hesitate to cooperate with a thief like Zheng An.
Zheng An didn't know what to say about King Yuan, but Zheng An also knew that the other party's desire to cooperate was only temporary. If Da Zhao is finished.
Once the other party has a climate, the first thing to clean up will be him. The same is true for him, at this time, of course, he hopes to cooperate with King Yuan. Together, we will do a great job.
But when he has achieved the climate, he will definitely find a way to destroy King Yuan as soon as possible. He wants more than just a small emperor.
What he wants is the position of emperor who will unify the whole world. Even the Khitans, who are cooperating now, will become his enemies in the future.
It was a pity that he didn't recruit Jiang Chao to his command at this time. Otherwise, with Jiang Chao's amazing military talent, he would definitely be able to help him win the entire world.
"Well, promise him that our rebels will also live and die with him. In addition, let people step up the attack on Ningzhou Mansion, and they must capture Ningzhou Mansion as quickly as possible. ”
Zheng An nodded to his henchman, and his eyes unconsciously showed a sense of pride. It seems that the whole world is about to be included in his pocket.
At this moment, a family member came to report that the emperor had summoned him.
Zheng An glanced at Jiading with a strange look in his eyes, and quickly thought about what the emperor's intention was in summoning him.
After all, he has rebelled, even if he is only operating behind the scenes, but it is a fact that he is the leader of the bandits.
If the Emperor found out about his deeds, he would never recover.
If it weren't for the emperor to trust him, or for his son to introduce the Khitan tribe into Guannai and let the entire Great Zhao fall, he would not have risked his life to stay in Kyoto.
Since Zheng An dared to rebel, he would have let it go a long time ago. It's a lot more bold.
Even if the emperor really suspected him, or made a move on him, Zheng An was sure enough to escape from Kyoto.
However, now that his son is in charge of the army at the border pass, the emperor will never suspect him for the time being, and he will definitely not attack him.
Otherwise, the emperor was afraid and did not dare to let his son go to the border to take charge of the army. Moreover, the secret son arranged by Zheng An in the palace did not send news to him to be careful, which proves that the emperor still trusts him now.
Although he didn't know what the emperor asked him to do, Zheng An still went alone.
When Zheng An came to the emperor's imperial study, there were several elderly ministers, including Murong Di, the old Duke of Yasukuni. and Su Qin, the Duke of Leng Guo. and Dong Jing, the Duke of Zhou who was on his side.
Song Zhe, the emperor of Great Zhao, was sitting behind the dragon case, he looked like he was in his thirties, his face was slightly fat, and his body was moderate. The height is more than 1.8 meters.
At this time, he looked at the four princes in front of him with an anxious face, and the whole person seemed a little unmastered.
"A few Aiqing, Ningzhou Mansion was besieged by bandits and asked for help, and the border pass was also urgent, Yeluhong had broken through the Chen Gu Pass and approached the Lanzhou Pass. The prince of Zhenguo has already led the army to fight, but the Lanzhou Pass was besieged, and Zheng Shizi with an army of 200,000 was afraid that it would be difficult to defeat Yeluhong. You Aiqing may have a good plan to retreat from the enemy and suppress the rebellion. ”
As soon as his words came out, the four Guogong below had different eyes, and the Duke of Jingguo and the Duke of Leng Guogong glanced at each other, and looked at Zheng An, the Duke of Zhenjun, and Dong Jing, the Duke of Zhou.
They opened their mouths, intending to say that Zheng An was the mastermind of the rebellion. The entire Da Zhao knew that there were many people who were the masterminds of the rebellion, but Song Zhe was the only one who didn't believe it.
Moreover, Song Zhe also trusted Zheng An extremely much, and did not hesitate to let Zheng Shimin lead the army to fight against the Khitan army.
Since Zheng Shimin went to the border pass to face the enemy, he has retreated three times in a row, making the Khitan army closer and closer to the hinterland of Dazhao.
At this time, the emperor did not think that Zheng Shimin was deliberately leading the Khitan army into the pass. On the contrary, he also said that Zheng Shimin is for the country and the people. It's a bloody battle.
Song Zhe even warned the old Yasukuni and Leng Guogong in the name of slandering the main general during the war and affecting the battle situation.
Song Zhe didn't know what he thought, probably because he had already let Zheng Shimin lead the army, for fear that because of the slander of someone in the court, Zheng Shimin would be chilled and do something drastic.
At this time, Song Zhe was a little stammering with Zheng Shimin's meaning.
In the face of Song Zhe's mediocrity, the Duke of Jingguo and the Duke of Leng Guogong have given up persuasion, and now, how Song Zhe wants to play, they let Song Zhe play, it's a big deal, when it can't be done, they just escape.
"There is no good way to retreat from the enemy, but if you retreat from the enemy, you will just want to recommend one." At this time, Zhen Guogong looked at Song Zhe with strange eyes.
His words made Song Zhe's eyes show a sense of astonishment.
