"You are very smart, since you know that it is Sea Dragon Pass, do you dare to lead the soldiers and horses?"

"Dare!"

"I want to remind you that it is difficult for the imperial court to support you, you only have three thousand people available, and there are old and weak soldiers among them, do you dare to go?"

Qin Chuanfei bowed down to Qin Chuan, and the look in his eyes was still the same: "Your Majesty, I am a descendant of the Qin family, and I also have the blood of Emperor Taizu on my body, and I will never be cowardly." When he received the commandment, he should return it with a horse leather shroud. ”

Before he went to war, he died first, which made Qin Chuan feel uneasy.

"I know, you can step back first, and wait for me to discuss with the Great Elder before making a decision."

This son is very smart, but Qin Chuan feels that he is too sharp and will suffer a big loss.

Military books and actual combat are fundamentally two different things.

After Qin Chuanfei retreated, Qin Chuan told Qin Wen what he thought in his heart.

The envoy killed, released, has become the fuse of the war, the Northern Jin Dynasty will launch an attack within a month, if no one is in the way, only rely on the terrain of Hailong Pass, that group of barbarians can not be defeated.

But with someone like Zhou Dewei secretly instigating, it is difficult to say.

"Your Majesty?"

Qin Chuan: "Zhou Dewei will not let him arrive at Hailong Pass safely, and he will definitely send killers to intercept him." ”

"What then? You can't send anyone. ”

"You can arrange more people to mix up the food and audio, so that Zhou Dewei can't tell who is Qin Chuanfei."

This strategy was also used by Qin Chuan when he sent the first emperor to the imperial mausoleum.

"Qin asked, this matter needs to be kept secret, tonight, I will send Yao Cheng to send him away, all the way to the border. You arrange ten teams, dress up as an escort to Qin Chuanfei, and go out of the city together early tomorrow morning. ”

"Understood."

After explaining the matter, Qin Chuan went to Qin Chuanfei's house.

His father is the Hou Ye, who has meritorious service to the imperial court, so the family conditions are very superior, Qin Chuanfei, who is only fifteen years old, is already the head of the family, and has a wife and a concubine, and gave birth to a baby.

Even in ancient times, it was very rare to have a child at this age.

The two of them worshiped tea in the inner room.

"Tonight, in a few hours, you will go out of the city, and I will arrange for someone to take you to Hailong Pass. Along the way, he was quick and anxious, disguised as a businessman, and must not say that his surname was Qin. ”

Qin Chuanfei asked, "Someone wants to assassinate me?" ”

A smart person is a smart person.

Qin Chuan didn't hide it from him: "This war will appear within a month, and it was provoked by Zhou Dewei." His purpose is to make the court chaotic, so no matter who goes to be a general, he will send someone to assassinate him, are you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid. But I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make a contribution. ”

"I will send myself to protect you from those close to me."

He shouted, and Yao Cheng came in from outside.

"Yao Cheng is responsible for your safety, and he will send you to the border all the way, you are just two people, without any entourage, and if you encounter something on the road, you have to discuss and act. I will give you a guarantee, if you can hold the Sea Dragon Pass this time, I will make you a general. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace."

So, at night, the two men rode out of the city.

And the next morning, ten more teams of thirty people went out from the sect, and when they left the city gate, a city gate soldier went to Zhou Dewei's house and informed him of the incident.

The old trick was repeated, and Zhou Dewei couldn't help laughing.

"Qin Chuan will do this, on the day he went to the imperial tomb, he arranged this play, so that Qin Chongnian's soldiers and horses could not find anyone, and later he killed Qin Yu, which can be regarded as both wise and brave. If he is an obedient man, I really have the heart to cultivate him. ”

His eldest son, Zhou Rang, said, "Dad, what do you think about it? If the Northern Jin Dynasty defeats the Sea Dragon Pass, it will be our Great Xia who will lose, and when the time comes, we will be unlucky to pay compensation for the land. Do you really think that Qin Chuan will drive the expedition in person? I don't think he's going to go out. ”

Zhou Dewei said: "What do you know, he will definitely drive the expedition himself." Because of this war, no matter what the process is, Hailong Pass will be lost. Qin Chuan's royal expedition is in person, then our opportunity will come. ”

"Dad, do you still plan to support Qin Yue? He's like a dog now, and he's not capable of it at all. ”

"Humph......"

In the face of his son's question, Zhou Dewei just smiled, his eyes full of cunning.

After a while, the butler came in and said that he had thought that the guest wanted to see him, and that he was already waiting in the study.

In the study stood a middle-aged man with a full beard.

As soon as Zhou Dewei came in, he knelt on the ground: "Honorable envoy." ”

"Zhou Dewei, over the years, you have been doing well, I can't even recognize you."

"Everything I do is for Da Zhou! Don't dare to be selfish. ”

"I heard your storehouse was ransacked."

"This is all done by Qin Chuan, this son ......"

Someone came to interrupt him: "Okay, don't tell me the details. You sent a message the day before yesterday, Your Majesty has seen it, your Majesty is very satisfied with your plan to use the Northern Jin Dynasty to attract Qin Chuan out of the palace, but can it really be foolproof? Will Qin Chuan leave the capital? ”

Zhou Dewei: "Yes, the minister has a way to make him have to leave the capital." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty said, if this matter is done well, you will be the first credit!"

"Don't dare, Zhou is just working hard and being careful."

"In order not to let you be lonely, I will stay in the capital to accompany you, I have brought dozens of masters to cooperate with you to complete the task. I want to know, go directly to the palace to assassinate Qin Chuan...... Will it work? ”

Zhou Dewei said: "No, if you kill Qin Chuan, there will be someone else in the sect to replace him." ”

Regarding the assassination, Zhou Dewei has always been not very advocated, and if he wants to deal with the Qin family, just killing the emperor and the prince will not work at all.

It turned out that his plan was to control the emperor, that is, the second prince Qin Yue, support him to ascend the throne, and then control it in his own hands.

But later, as soon as the major vassal kings died, there were no worries, and once all the people of the Qin clan were suppressed, the effect was the same as being the emperor directly.

Great Xia has a vast territory and is the largest party among the kingdoms under heaven, so the matter is quite complicated to consider.

"Zhou Dewei, you are an excellent politician, you can decide everything. Your Majesty has said, let me cooperate with your actions with full authority. ”

"Thank you, Honorable Envoy."

When Zhou Dewei walked out of the backyard and went to the front hall, he met his son Zhou Rang around the corner.

At this moment, Zhou Rang was looking at his father with questioning eyes.

This kind of look......

Zhou Dewei: "My son, what's the matter?" ”

"Dad, who is the person you went to see in the study?"

"He's a friend of my father."

"It's someone from Nanzhou, right?"

Zhou Dewei hurriedly went up and covered his son's mouth: "You be quiet!" Crazy about you! ”

Zhou Rang is an unsuccessful person, but he didn't expect that his father was actually a spy with his heart to Nan Zhou.

The dignified prime minister is just a small spy in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
