Chapter 243: The Most Greedy Heart
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Oh no! Something is wrong!"
In the palace of Chang'an City, Wei Wuxing hurriedly ran in with a letter in his hand, and when he ran into the threshold of the Nine Poles Palace, he almost tripped and fell, although he stabilized his body, his shoes still flew out.
"Panicked, what kind of system!" Emperor Wei reprimanded dissatisfiedly.
After finding Empress Jiang and sending her back to the palace, Emperor Wei traveled around the country for a while, and only returned to Chang'an City in recent days.
Looking at the mountains of folds on the table, Emperor Wei felt that his head was big for a while.
Fortunately, some simple twists and turns were disposed of by Empress Jiang for him, which made him very happy.
"Your Majesty, there is a military emergency report from the Western Frontier!" Wei Wuxing didn't hesitate to run back to pick up his shoes, and directly stepped forward to present the letter.
"Military emergency?Chu State is coming?" Emperor Wei frowned slightly, if Chu State came over at this time, it would not be good.
Because of that short-lived great change in heaven and earth, many strange things happened in the entire Central Plains, and natural and man-made disasters continued.
The Wei State was even more seriously damaged, and the entire national strength declined by a small half, and at this time, many people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Emperor Wei hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it, he was stunned for a moment, Yan Zhenyue actually knocked down the iron triangle in the southeast border of Chu State!
Star Luo City, Flying Sand City, and White Flame City have all fallen into the hands of the Wei State!
"This ...... Well done!Reward, I want to reward them heavily!" Emperor Wei took a deep breath, paused, and then slapped the table hard and stood up happily.
"Order, let Yan Zhenyue step up the consolidation of the three cities of Xingluo, Feisha and Baiyan, and in addition, transfer the three guards from Jiangzhou to help Yan Zhenyue take over these three cities. Emperor Wei said.
"The reward was put aside for the time being, and told them that when they returned, I would reward them myself. Emperor Wei continued.
"And Liu Chu, since he has successfully captured the three cities, let him continue on the road, and the matter over there in Karakuri City cannot be delayed. Emperor Wei said.
"If I think about it, that's probably all there is to it, you go down and give orders. Emperor Wei waved his hand.
"Yes. Wei Wuxing bowed down and bent down on the way to pick up the shoes that he had just lost.
In the White Flame City.
At this time, the White Flame City was full of fire, and Liu Chu slaughtered a large number of cattle and sheep to celebrate and reward the soldiers.
These cattle and sheep were all seized anyway, so they didn't feel distressed and ate them with open stomachs.
On the main table, sitting were Liu Chu, Yan Zhenyue, Tong Botao, Wei Suo, as well as Liu Chu and Yan Zhenyue's personal soldiers.
In addition, it was Huang Tian and Heping Zhiwen, and the two of them sat together with this group of bigwigs, a little cramped and uneasy.
"Eat, why don't you eat it? Aren't you used to eating your own beef and mutton?" Liu Chu grabbed a piece of beef and looked at Huang Tian and Heping Zhiwen strangely.
"Eat, eat, eat, we eat. Huang Tian nodded again and again, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he eat with peace of mind!
"General Liu, when can we leave?" asked Huang Tian stubbornly.
"Our mission has been accomplished, is it time to let us go?" Ping Zhiwen echoed.
"What's the matter, isn't it good to eat and drink here, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Liu Chu looked displeased.
"We felt a little embarrassed to eat and drink here, so it was better to leave quickly. Huang Tian made up an excuse.
Liu Chu hooked the corners of his mouth, this Huang Tian is really good at talking!
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, just eat, I want you to have a few more meals here. Liu Chu said.
"This can't work, that's even more embarrassing!" Huang Tian said solemnly.
"Well, since you're embarrassed, do something for me, so you don't have to worry about it. Liu Chu said with a smile.
Huang Tian and Ping Zhiwen chuckled in their hearts, and suddenly felt that they had fallen for it? Looking at Liu Chu's thiefy appearance, it seemed that he didn't hold back any good things!
"General Liu, please say, we will help if we can. Huang Tian had no choice but to ask.
"In this way, look, we have already won the Iron Triangle, and then there is a first-line gorge in it, and there is a Thousand Peerless Cities behind the first-line gorges, do you think it is a favor to go to the Thousand Peerless Cities?" Liu Chu said in a consultative tone.
"General Liu!" Huang Tian stood up directly, Liu Chu wanted to eat the First Line Gorge and the Thousand Peerless Cities!
After passing the first-line gorge, it is a thousand peerless cities, and after passing a thousand peerless cities, it is the plain of a horse and a flat river, galloping along the plains, and then passing three levels in a row, basically approaching the Chu Imperial Palace!
Therefore, this Thousand Peerless Cities is the top priority of the Chu State in the southeast border!
"General Liu, I can't help with this favor!" Huang Tian waved his hand and refused.
It doesn't matter if you help Liu Chu take Star Luo City, Flying Sand City, and White Flame City, but once you take the Thousand Peerless City, the Chu State will be seriously threatened!
"General Huang, since some things have been done, you will do them to the end! If you just stop like this, you will not please both ends, and you will not be a human being inside and out!" Liu Chu said lightly.
Huang Tian's face was ugly, Liu Chu was right, he had betrayed the Chu State, and if he went back to see the Chu Emperor at this time, he would definitely be beheaded!
But now that he is controlled by Liu Chu, if he doesn't listen to Liu Chu, maybe he will be beheaded by Liu Chu!
Now, Huang Tian is really in a dilemma! Just like Liu Chu said, he is not a person inside and outside!
"Help you take down the Thousand Peerless Cities, and you will let me go?" Huang Tian asked.
"Well, let you go. Liu Chu smiled and nodded.
"You can't lie to me anymore! This is the last time!" Huang Tian gritted his teeth and fought hard!
People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and promise Liu Chu that there will still be a glimmer of life!
"He's a smart guy. Liu Chu smiled with satisfaction.
"Then what is General Liu's plan? The Thousand Peerless Cities are not as good as the three cities of Xingluo, Flying Sand, and White Flame, there are three tiger generals in it, all of them have the strength of General Liu, I am afraid that General Yan will have to take action personally to capture those three people. When Huang Tian spoke, he looked at Yan Zhenyue, who was drinking alone.
"When necessary, General Yan will make a move, my plan is relatively simple, you can take us into the Thousand Peerless City, and we will do the rest by ourselves." Liu Chu said.
"It's easy, but what can you do when you go in?" asked Huang Tian puzzled.
"You don't have to worry about this, just bring all my people in. Liu Chu said lightly.
Huang Tian realized that he had asked too much, and quickly nodded.
It was very simple to sneak into the Thousand Peerless City, he just needed to find a few sets of clothes for the Chu army, change them into Liu Chu and the others, and let them disguise themselves as soldiers under his command.
On this night, most people were so drunk that no one noticed that there was a fierce quarrel in Yan Zhenyue's house.
"Absolutely not! It's too risky!" Yan Zhenyue shouted as he slapped the table.
After the banquet dispersed, Liu Chu found Yan Zhenyue and told Yan Zhenyue about his plan, but after Yan Zhenyue heard it, he directly rejected it, because this plan was too risky, and there was a ninety percent chance of death!
"General, it's rare to have such a good opportunity, Emperor Chu is afraid that he hasn't received the news that the three cities of Xingluo, Feisha, and Baiyan have been destroyed, and attacking at this time is simply a surprise attack!" Liu Chu said.
"No, although Your Majesty said that it is cheap, it must also be safe and secure!"
"Even if it's relatively safe, it's fine! But you're not safe at all!"
"Moreover, can you guarantee that Huang Tian and Ping Zhiwen will not betray you 100 percent? What if they sell you to ask the Chu Emperor for merit? Maybe the Chu Emperor may spare them from death. Yan Zhenyue said with a straight face.
"You're right, but it's all about taking risks to make things happen, and I think it's worth trying. Liu Chu said.
"I don't want you to think, do you know that because of yours, you think that you might bury the lives of the soldiers?" Yan Zhenyue scolded.
"Anyway, I'm at the same level as you, you can't control me, if you don't go, I'll take someone to go by myself. Liu Chu said.
"You're just fooling around!" Yan Zhenyue turned pale with anger.
"General, have you ever thought that this is of course my greed, but once it is done, how much threat can our Wei State reduce?"
"Overseas non-regions are now obviously tied to the state of Chu, once the state of Chu sends troops to us, the millions of troops in overseas non-regions will also force over!"
"The attitude of other countries is now unclear, and they are all too busy to take care of themselves after a great change in the world, and whether they can recover immediately is two words. ”
"At this moment, it is a good opportunity for us to eliminate some hidden dangers!"
Liu Chu said that he did not seek to unify the Central Plains, but some threats that emerged must be resolved.
"It's not wrong for you to say that, but I just don't agree, if you have to go, I'll detain you!" Yan Zhenyue squinted and said, he felt that Liu Chu was young and vigorous, too nonsense!
"If the general doesn't go, naturally there are considerations for the general, and I naturally have my considerations when I go, so I think none of us are wrong, but please don't stop me. Liu Chu said seriously.
After speaking, Liu Chu turned around and left without looking back, but when he walked to the door, Yan Zhenyue suddenly stopped him.
"Stop!"
"Fuck, you kid, you have a stinky temper with your father, and you always like to win in danger, how can your heart stand it?" Yan Zhenyue scolded.
"One thousand, I'll give you a thousand cavalry, five hundred cavalry will follow you, and the other five hundred cavalry will respond outside the first line of gorges. Yan Zhenyue sighed, he actually compromised.
Liu Chu hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around, and said with a smile: "Thank you General for giving you soldiers and horses." ”
"When you took it away, it was a thousand, and when you come back, I still hope it will be a thousand, people and horses, no one is missing!" Yan Zhenyue said.
"Please rest assured, General!" Liu Chu grinned.
That night, 1,500 horsemen set out from White Flame City.
Liu Chu sat on horseback, and the night breeze blew in his face, making people feel refreshed, and the wine was half awake.
Liu Chu stretched his waist a lot, he was greedy, but as long as he was a little more greedy and took more cities and lands, then Wei would be less threatening!
