Chapter 60: Eight Prefectures of Yanbei

"They're waiting for ...... too?"

Ding Zeng said: "It's not just Da Zhou who wants to destroy Dawei Fort. ”

"What is the gentleman referring to...... Jiang Zuo?"

Ding Zeng nodded: "Although Jiangzuo is a river and lake, its energy cannot be underestimated. ”

"The rivers and lakes may not be worth mentioning in terms of the court, but in a place like the Northern Desert, these people in the rivers and lakes will have more ways than the army. ”

"Your Highness should know that in addition to Dawei Castle in the Northern Desert, there is also one of the most important forces that cannot be ignored......"

"Thirteen roads in the North Desert ringing horses!"

"Yes, if the imperial army rashly enters the Northern Desert, the thirteenth road ringing horse will definitely not sit idly by, and the people who these horse bandits are most unwilling and will not talk to are the people of the imperial court. ”

"This problem can only be solved by Jiang Zuo. ”

"Wait...... The benefits may not be the greatest, but only in this way can the Yan Dynasty get a piece of the pie at the smallest cost. ”

Zhao Kuo looked at it and pondered, and only after a long time did he say: "Okay, let Dawei Fort stay for a few more days." ”

After speaking, Zhao Kuo looked at Fang Shaoyang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked down coldly, and said, "If you don't protect the monarch effectively, you ...... What is the sin?"

Fang Shaoyang's face did not change, and he slammed his head on the ground.

"The last general is willing to follow His Majesty to the death. ”

The hall was all from the military, and Fang Shaoyang's loyalty and courage made the generals in the hall admire.

"Hehe......" Zhao Wuji smiled coldly, and was about to speak, but Ding Zeng stood up.

"Your Highness, the situation in Yanbei is unstable, General Fang is now the person who is most familiar with the topography of Yanbei, even if he should die, it is not now. ”

It is not difficult for this huge Yanbei to find a few people who are familiar with the terrain.

But Zao Wou-Ki listened strangely.

After sinking, the other party said Shaoyang: "Your life palace will stay for the time being, after all, a living person is much more useful than a dead person, do you understand?"

Fang Shaoyang was not overjoyed because his life was saved.

got up with difficulty, bowed down and said, "The last general will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Stand down. ”

Immediately, Fang Shaoyang retreated, and then Zhao Wouji sent down a cadre of generals in the hall, leaving only Ding Zeng alone.

It took a long time for Zao Wou-Ki to speak.

"Sir should know that apart from his father, the only person Wuji trusts around him is Mister. ”

"Now, there is only one gentleman left in this world. ”

Ding Zeng was unwavering and bowed to Zhao Wouji: "Ding Zeng will repay His Highness with the rest of his life." ”

Zao Wou-Ki shook his head: "Mr. is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and his intelligence is outstanding, so he should know the meaning of this palace." ”

"Fang Shaoyang was sure to die today, but because the palace believed in Mr. and Mr. stood up again, the palace forgave Fang Shaoyang. ”

"This palace wants to know the reason why Mr. intercedes for Fang Shaoyang. ”

Ding Zeng groaned: "Fang Shaoyang can't die. ”

"Why?"

Ding Zeng looked at Zhao Wouji, suddenly sighed, and said, "After Your Majesty's army went through the Great Zhou raid, the morale of the army has already been weakened. ”

"Now that His Majesty has died, the three armies know that Fang Shaoyang is loyal and brave to protect the emperor's life, if His Highness kills Fang Shaoyang at this moment. ”

"Not only will it lose the morale of the army, but it will also give others a chance to ....... ”

"Your Highness should know that the hand of the inner factory has stretched out longer and longer...... If His Royal Highness can't stabilize the morale of the army and firmly control the military power in his hands, Ding Zeng is only afraid that person will ......"

"Cao Qin......"

When he said this name, Zao Wou-Ki's face sank completely, and his anger was not so deep towards Dawei Castle.

"A mere eunuch, if it weren't for his father's grace, would he be where he is today?"

"Now that the palace is in charge of the military, when the war in Yanbei is over and the class teacher returns to the court, the first thing the palace will do is to uproot the eunuch party and divide the eunuch outside the nine gates. ”

When Ding Zeng heard this, his face showed uneasiness that he had never felt before, and Zhao Wuji seemed to be aware of it: "Mr. has something to say." ”

Ding Zeng said: "Your Highness has ever thought that Your Majesty has fought countless battles, even if Da Zhou does not declare war and sends troops to raid, it is impossible to force Your Majesty into a Jedi several times. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ding Zeng said: "Da Zhou sent troops, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of Cao Qin!"

Zhao Wouji's body trembled slightly, he knew Ding Zeng and knew that he would never be untargeted.

Ding Zeng said again at this time: "Maybe...... It's not just Da Zhou. ”

"Your Highness, have you ever remembered where you got the Seal of the Decree?"

"Northern Desert!"

When Zao Wou-Ki said the word Beimo, and then contacted what Ding Zeng said, he had already thought of the key to it.

"The Seal of the Decree of the Kingdom was recovered from the Northern Desert, and Dawei Fort is in the Northern Desert. ”

"Your Majesty has been killed, if no one reports it, how can the people of Dawei Fort know Your Majesty's whereabouts?"

"Among them, the only one who has a connection with the Northern Desert and Dawei Fort is Cao Qin. ”

The undulating anger was deposited on Zao Wou-Ki's chest like a tumbling volcano, but he did not erupt for a long time, because he was more worried about his current situation than anger.

"This palace will immediately lead the army back to Yandu, and it will definitely skin and cramp that eunuch, so that he can't survive and die. Zao Wou-Ki suddenly spoke, his expression resolute, as if he had made a big decision.

This is what Ding Zeng is most worried about now, and it is also the real reason why Ding Zeng stopped His Highness from going to the Northern Desert. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yandu...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back!"

"Can't go back?"

"I can't go back!"

"If the killing of the Great Zhou troops and His Royal Highness is really related to Cao Qin, I am afraid that the current Yandu is already under his control...... If you go back now, you will undoubtedly fall into the net. ”

Zhao Wouji's eyes condensed slightly, and said: "The sixteen states of Yanbei have been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and now with the intervention of the Great Zhou, the situation in Yanbei has been chaotic, and I am afraid that the Dongji Dynasty will not be willing to be calm in the future." ”

"If that eunuch really controls Yandu, he will never give front-line backup, and without support, we will not be able to fight a protracted war with the two great dynasties of Great Zhou and Dongji. ”

"Sir should know that?"

"Ding Zeng is clear!" Ding Zengdao.

Zhao Wouji said again: "Since Mr. is clear, then Mr. should know that staying in Yanbei is waiting for death, and there is no way out of the palace, and the only chance now is to kill back before that eunuch completely controls Yandu." ”

"This is really our only chance. Ding Zeng replied.

Zhao Wuji looked at Ding Zeng suspiciously, and said, "Mr. is clear and knows, why does Mr. still say that Yan Du can't go back?"

Ding Zeng shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Opportunities and dangers often coexist, Your Highness is now leading the army back to Yandu, even if the eunuch party is destroyed, how much does Your Highness think it will cost?"

"As long as you can kill that eunuch, it's worth the price!"

"And after that?"

......

Zhao Wuji was silent, and Ding Zeng continued: "Da Yan has only been in charge of the dynasty for a few years, and his foundation is unstable, and now His Majesty has fallen in Yanbei, and now the news has not spread, and the princes from all over Yanbei will not make any changes...... But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later the news of His Majesty's death will be known to the whole world, and at that time, will His Highness be able to deter the princes of Yandi with only the 300,000 troops in his hands?"

"What's more, His Highness is now determined to return to Yandu, even if he wins, how much combat power will His Highness have left in his hands at that time?"

"At that time, don't talk about the outside, even An Nei has more than enough strength to do something. ”
