Chapter 200: Siege of Hun and Rescue Chu
"What you said is very good, but when are you going to send troops to save my father and the emperor?" Xiang Yunyan asked worriedly.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Li Yunxing asked the eunuch Jinxi to unfold a picture of the country and put it on the table, signaling Xiang Yunyan to observe.
"You see, now your father is in the Yingdu of Chu State, thousands of miles away from Si Li, even if you send cavalry to gallop, it will take half a month to arrive."
Xiang Yunyan looked at the map carefully, and saw that it was a map of the Chu State and the Wu Dynasty.
Although there are not many locations marked, the detailed topography of the surrounding cities is marked.
"The Hun army's trip to stretch their battle line is extremely long, this is not a strategy that should be used for a long journey, so they must have intrigues, if they want to rescue smoothly, they will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble."
"If you are unlucky, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to save people, but you will also lose your life, so what this palace has to do now is not to go directly to Yingdu."
Xiang Yunyan was puzzled: "Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to 'encircle Wei to save Zhao'?" ”
Li Yunxing nodded slightly, confirming her conjecture.
"That's right, starting from the Dragon City of the Huns to reach the Central Plains, you must pass through a dangerous pass, called Shuofang."
"Shuofang is the first city to arrive after the Xiongnu passed through five hundred miles of wasteland, and the terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one road to the hinterland of the Central Plains."
"Therefore, the palace only needs to create chaos within Shuofang City, disrupt the enemy army, so that they have no time to take care of the Chu State, cut off their food and grass supply, and then they will definitely withdraw their troops and return."
After listening to Xiang Yunyan, his heart beat violently!
Li Yunxing has already made up his mind, and he can draw inferences from one another, which is really powerful.
She couldn't help but feel guilty about her previous doubts.
Xiang Yunyan groaned: "But...... How can Your Highness guarantee that the Xiongnu army will come according to your assumptions? ”
After all, the current situation of the Huns is already ready to fly, and they have to be sent.
The corners of Li Yunxing's mouth hooked up a wicked arc.
"Have you ever heard that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first?"
Xiang Yunyan frowned and shook his head.
Li Yunxing continued: "Although the Xiongnu army is strong, their Xiongnu king is a mediocre person, relying on military exploits over the years, rampant conquest, and boiling public resentment, so their foundation is not solid. ”
"The current situation is not good for the Chu State, but it is also unfavorable for the Xiongnu, as long as we put pressure on them and force them to retreat, they will naturally choose to avoid it."
Xiang Yunyan nodded as if he didn't understand.
"So you mean, we can find an opportunity to make trouble for the Xiongnu army, so that they don't dare to rashly attack the Chu State?"
"It can be understood in this way, or rather, as long as the soldiers of Youzhou of the Wu Dynasty put pressure on the Xiongnu, then the Xiongnu naturally did not dare to send a large number of elites to risk attacking the Chu State."
"And once they choose to withdraw, our chance has come."
At that time, the state of Chu and the Wu Dynasty will work together to repel the remnants of the Xiongnu, and they can also severely punish those barbarians who dare to provoke, so that they can completely recognize their situation.
"Understood, then...... What can I do to help Your Highness? Xiang Yunyan asked urgently.
Li Yunxing glanced up at her, and a trace of cunning crossed his eyes.
"Well...... The princess of Chu might as well promise this palace one thing? ”
Xiang Yunyan looked at him vigilantly and snorted coldly.
"You don't want to take advantage of me."
"Uh......" Li Yunxing suddenly had a black line on his forehead, this aunt, can we not be so tough?
"You're thinking too much, I'm not that shameless."
Immediately, Li Yunxing restrained his playful expression and said positively.
"This palace needs you to return to the state of Chu in the future, and try your best to promote the alliance between the state of Chu and the Wu Dynasty, of course, this partner of the Wu Dynasty can only be the palace."
Li Yunxing stretched out two fingers and said with a smile.
"Plus two million taels of gold and silver jewelry, and a hundred sweat and blood horses are sent to the name of the palace, how about it?"
Xiang Yunyan's apricot eyes suddenly widened!
That's a lot of money!
You must know that the annual tax collection of the Chu State is only a few hundred thousand taels of gold.
With Li Yunxing's mouth, he wants to take away half of the Chu State, and he also wants to reach an alliance.
Isn't this the lion's mouth?
"You!" Xiang Yunyan's face was blank, and he said angrily, "You can't afford to buy two million taels of gold even if you sell me!" ”
Li Yunxing laughed: "So, the princess of Chu State dislikes two million taels of gold too little?"
"You're ......!" Xiang Yunyan was speechless for a while.
"Isn't the life of your people in the Chu Kingdom, as well as your father and brother's lives, worth these two million?"
Xiang Yunyan was still full of resentment, but Li Yunxing suddenly showed an affectionate look.
"Or do you want to give money, you just want to marry Hongu?"
"If that's the case, two million taels of gold is still negotiable."
Li Yunxing said this, but unceremoniously approached Xiang Yunyan, reached out and grabbed the other party's jade wrist.
"What are you doing?"
Xiang Yunyan was taken aback and wanted to get rid of the other party, but was dragged by Li Yunxing.
Li Yunxing's eyes stared at her and said, "If you want, this palace will accompany you at any time~"
Xiang Yunyan lowered her head, if she could help Chu Guo tide over the difficulties, then in the eyes of her father and brother, she would definitely greatly improve her impression score, and she might be qualified to compete for the throne in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yunyan gritted his teeth and said. "Okay, just two million taels of gold, let it go!"
Li Yunxing, who got the promise, suddenly let go, and smiled with a treacherous victory.
"Hahaha......"
He looked up and laughed, in a cheerful mood.
There is no white help in this world, at least not in front of Li Yunxing.
To a certain extent, the cooperation between the Chu State and the Wu Dynasty is even more like an exchange of interests.
The state of Chu hoped to use the power of the Wu Dynasty to eradicate the Xiongnu in the northern frontier, and the Wu Dynasty also hoped to gain the support of the state of Chu through this support, so as to increase its strength.
If the duel between the Chu State and the Xiongnu is defeated, how can the Wu Dynasty be left alone?
No matter who wins or loses in the end, it is still the Wu Dynasty that suffers in the end.
Therefore, Li Yunxing knows very well that the victory or defeat of this war will affect the pattern of the entire world, and even the ownership of the entire land.
Therefore, the Wu Dynasty would never allow the Chu State to destroy the country, and it was impossible to sit idly by and watch the Chu State surrender to the Xiongnu.
The biggest problem in front of Li Yunxing now is how to make Qin Zhongyi willingly send troops to the Xiongnu.
After that, Li Yunxing teased her a few more words.
Xiang Yunyan blushed angrily again, and ran out in a puff of smoke.
She has also participated in various banquets, poems and other activities in the past, and in the face of the pursuit of many sons of the family, she can also maintain the elegant demeanor of the princess and play with ease.
Unexpectedly, he was helpless when he ran into Li Yunxing.
