Chapter 180: Beauty Harms the Country
"The dignified princess of Chu State, how could she be committed to being a concubine, so the king of Chu did not agree to this marriage."
From Xiang Yunyan's previous fight with Li Yunxing in front of Emperor Wu, representing the two countries, it can be seen that the State of Chu attaches great importance to this princess.
Not only because he is the daughter of the king of Chu, but also because of her intelligence and strategy.
How could such a talented princess give the Xiongnu Shan Yu as a concubine, this is probably even more uncomfortable than killing the King of Chu.
"So, will the Xiongnu Shan Yu stop for a while because of this?" Li Yunxing asked.
Zhan Jun shook his head and said, "No, it's even worse." ”
"The Huns are wild and untamable, since he proposed to make peace, he will definitely not compromise easily, and this kind of thing is not in his interests."
The brutality of the Xiongnu is very unimaginable, if it would be so easy to compromise, it would not be the Xiongnu.
Li Yunxing nodded, thinking about it, "So, the king of the Huns led his troops to attack the Chu State?" The land of Chu is small and the people are weak, how can it withstand the encirclement and suppression of the Xiongnu army? ”
"The king of the Huns meant to take the opportunity to force the king of Chu to retreat, but he obviously failed."
"Oh? How so? ”
Zhan Jun was silent for a moment, as if he had organized some sentences, and then said slowly.
"The king of Chu has always been benevolent and virtuous, and the people have supported him. He refused to agree to make peace, and the king of the Huns naturally couldn't help him. However, the people in the territory of Chu were plundered, slaughtered, killed and injured countless times, such a large-scale tragedy, the Chu State was full of resentment, and the Xiongnu King seized this point in an attempt to provoke the anger of the people in Chu State. ”
"The whole state of Chu scolded the beauty in the palace for harming the country. But after all, the Xiongnu were foreign enemies, and the people were unwilling to leave their homeland and stay away from their homeland, so they hated the Xiongnu king very much. ”
"But ......," Zhan Jun hesitated.
Li Yunxing asked, "But what?" ”
"I heard that in order to save Xiang Yunyan's life, the King of Chu seems to have sent Xiang Yunyan out of Chu State."
I didn't expect the king of Chu to love his daughter so much, and even sent her away from the state of Chu, where else could he save Xiang Yunyan's life?
It seems that it can only be the Wu Dynasty.
Li Yunxing immediately made a judgment, and that cloud smoke is now a hot potato.
He frowned and groaned for a long time, his eyes flickering.
"Since the state of Chu sent people out of the country, it is naturally difficult for the Xiongnu to forcibly rob them, but the king of the Xiongnu may not be willing. He may secretly send someone to intercept and kill him to vent his anger. ”
The Admiral thought it was inevitable. Therefore, during this period of time, there were frequent Xiongnu intent to break into the territory of the Wu Dynasty, although the army of the last general firmly protected the northwest border, but there were still many concerns in their hearts. ”
Li Yunxing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You can have such scruples, this palace is very happy." At least it shows that you know how to measure, know how to advance and retreat, and know how to judge the situation. ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie will mention it."
As a result, a stalemate has formed between the Chu State and the Xiongnu, and there should be no major conflict between the two sides in the short term. However, if the state of Chu has been delaying, and when it comes to winter, there will be a shortage of grain and grass, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. ”
Zhan Jun immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the grain storage of Chu is quite abundant, and the King of Chu has always cherished feathers, even if it is a cold winter, there will be no shortage of food." In addition, the last general will travel back and forth to the border every once in a while, keeping an eye out for news from the north. If there is anything unusual about the Huns, the last general will also report it as soon as possible. ”
Li Yunxing smiled and bowed his head, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing a hint of murderous aura.
"It's so good, this palace wants to see what kind of wolf ambition this Hun king has!"
The corners of Li Yunxing's mouth hooked up a ruthless arc.
Zhan Jun lowered his head, and his eyes were also full of strong killing intent.
"Your Highness the Prince, what should we do now? Do you need to send spies to spy on the Xiongnu first? ”
"This is not in a hurry for the time being, do you know about the King of Zhaoyang?"
"I heard." Zhan Jun said lightly.
"The palace suspects that someone in the court is colluding with the Huns, and the forces have infiltrated the palace, but the father is still there, and this force does not dare to be too public."
This matter is not trivial, if it has infiltrated the palace.
That means that the prince's safety is at great risk at any time.
Such a thing will not be tolerated!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there will be a plan in the end, but there are some adventures, I wonder if I can relieve His Royal Highness the Prince's worries?"
"Can it be something that this palace has to consider, since you have an idea in your heart, you have to say it." Li Yunxing looked at Zhan Jun with interest.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the Xiongnu are strong, they are barbarian tribes after all. And His Royal Highness the Prince, as an emperor, is an orthodox royal descendant, with a noble status, can you be compared with the Huns? ”
"The princess of Chu is the person the Xiongnu Shan Yu wants the most, and now that they want to cooperate with the Xiongnu, they are bound to do their best to please the Xiongnu."
"With Xiang Yunyan as bait, you can naturally fish out those spies hiding in the dark, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to sit in the center and control the power, and he can logically clean the court and find out those people!"
When Li Yunxing heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
"What a snake to lure out of the hole! That's a brilliant plan! ”
This is indeed a good way, which does not need to fight hard, but also can achieve the purpose of deterring the Huns.
"Yes, but if Xiang Yunyan dies in the Wu Dynasty, I'm afraid the King of Chu won't give up."
Of course, this plan can be done without spending a single grass and tree in the Wu Dynasty, but after all, people are not objects, where can they be handled by others casually.
Zhan Jun replied, "The so-called reluctant child can't trap the wolf, since the King of Chu would rather give up the interests of the entire Chu State in order to protect Xiang Yunyan, then this shows the importance of Xiang Yunyan." But Xiang Yunyan is not completely worthless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can completely exchange her life for more benefits, such as territory, money, and even the Chu State. ”
Now the whole country of Chu has spread rumors that the Xiongnu want to destroy Chu for the sake of beauty. In this way, even if the state of Chu is unwilling to cooperate with the Xiongnu, it must also hand over Xiang Yunyan, otherwise it will inevitably cause disputes between the two countries.
And Xiang Yunyan, as the only descendant princess of Chu State, and Chu Jun is her elder brother, her status naturally rises, as if she is the next king of Chu State.
If the king of Chu really gave up the entire Chu country in order to protect her.
At that time, even if she stays in the Chu State, she will be scolded and blamed by the world, and she may even lose her life.
But now, the princess of Chu State has been sent to the Wu Dynasty, which proves that Xiang Yunyan came with a mission.
Even if Li Yunxing didn't look for her, she would obediently send it to the door by herself.
If you want not to become a disaster, you must bring a new turn for the Chu State.
And this turnaround can only be done by the prince of Chu State, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Yunxing.
