Zhao Kuan has always been a person who is easily underestimated.

It also has to do with his personality.

treats a friend and brother like Chu Yujia, he can talk about everything and say nothing, and he can even let Chu Yujia mock himself, and he won't say anything when he is cheated by Chu Yujia, just laughing.

He doesn't look like a monarch at all on weekdays.,Just like a brother or a junior.,Humility and courtesy.。

But there are many people who regard this noble character of humility and courtesy as weakness.

But is Zhao Kuan really weak?

A person who dares to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in his teens, is it weak?

A person who led troops to fight Gumo Country in his teens will be weak?

The reason why Chu Yujia said these words in front of Zhao Kuan in the royal court was, to a large extent, these words were exactly what Zhao Kuan wanted to say but couldn't say.

The most failed thing that Qianshu did was to underestimate Ye Guo's emphasis on dignity, underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, and underestimate Zhao Kuan's trust in Chu Yujia.

And these are actually secondary, they underestimate that Zhao Kuan's ambition is the main thing.

Zhao Kuan never thought of keeping the success, and never wanted to be a monarch who kept the foundation left by his ancestors.

If that was the case, there would be no need for him to enter the Hussar General's Mansion at a few years old, and there would be no need for him to follow Chu Qianwen to the battlefield in his teens.

There is no need, after Chu Yujia was exiled, he also followed Chu Yujia's footsteps to walk all over the rivers and mountains of Ye Kingdom.

The footsteps of the two are all over the country, they have seen the customs and customs of all parts of the country, the scenery of all parts of the country, and the suffering of all parts of the country.

Because both of them know that only those who have experienced it themselves will really understand, and only those who have been people know what people think every day.

Although one of the two is active and the other is forced, they have already experienced it.

In the end, under the leadership of Chu Yujia, the entire Ye royal court was connected, and one by one they were filled with righteous indignation, and they only waited for Zhao Kuan's order to send troops against Qianshu.

Now, Qi has announced its withdrawal from the former Shu battlefield, and will not participate in the dispute between former Shu and Ye in the future.

This means that it is impossible for Qianshu to find allies in the north, unless they go to the south.

However, the grievances between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the former Shu have been going on for a long time, and there is no possibility of sending troops to assist the former Shu.

Now there are only two choices in front of Qianshu, one is to agree to the conditions of Ye State to negotiate peace, and the other is to fight to the death with Ye State.

But what the ending of the death pinch seems to have been doomed a long time ago.

In less than three months after the start of the war in Yeshu, Qianshu lost a total of the entire territory of Pingfu County and the entire territory of Hebei County, and only two cities remained, and the rest of the villages and towns were almost slaughtered by the Northwest Army, and the Ying County was even more miserable, even the Tongzhou Pass used to balance the Later Song Dynasty was captured by the Northwest Army, and now it is also reported that Rongyang Mansion has been surrounded by the Northwest Army.

Obviously, the Northwest Army is also waiting for news from here, if the peace talks go smoothly, the Northwest Army will withdraw its troops, and if the talks collapse, the Northwest Army will immediately attack the city.

Although Chu Yujia did not really attack Wanjiang City, Longzhen Mansion and Tongzhou Pass were both defeated through tough battles.

But these two cities together totaled 100,000 soldiers, but even the Northwest Army could not stop it for a day, one was breached in two hours, and the other was only defended for three or four hours before the Northwest Army had already entered the city.

In the end, Fan Chengzhen could only choose to compromise, facing Zhao Kuan and arching his hand: "The people of the world are already bitter enough, and they don't have to suffer from the war, in this case, I hope that Ye and my country will each take a step back, and Qianshu can pay Ye Guo 80 million taels of military expenses, but they can't cut the land, this is the bottom line." ”

This time, Fan Chengzhen didn't have the righteous indignation just now.

It's just that Chu Yujia turned around and said: "It's absolutely impossible not to cut the land, if you say three counties, just three counties, not one less village." ”

Hearing this, Fan Chengzhen looked up at Chu Yujia and said, "Chu Hou, do you have to force me to die in this royal court?"

"If you don't die, what does it have to do with me?"

Chu Yujia snorted and said, "Even if you die here today, there will be no less than three counties, and I will not retreat if there is less village." ”

"Chu Hou, leave a line in everything and see each other in the future. ”

Fan Chengzhen clenched his fists tightly and looked at Chu Yujia, and said, "Could it be that in the future, your grain transportation teams and caravans of the Ye Kingdom will not go to our Qianshu?"

"What's the matter, you still want to threaten us with the matter of the grain road?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you Qianshu still haven't been beaten enough, then it's better like this, I don't want the county town of Yingjun, I want you Zheyi County in the east of Qianshu, so as not to come to detain our caravan in Qianshu in the future." ”

"Chu Yujia ......"

Fan Chengzhen gritted his teeth and said viciously: "You are really too deceitful......"

"Give?"

"It's okay if you don't want to give. ”

Chu Yujia shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, the two roads are not only you can go to Qianshu, we can't go to Qi State, or we can go to the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Song Dynasty, at most, it will cost a little more money and lost silver, and if our army takes Rongyang Mansion, it is equivalent to taking the entire Eagle County, so that we can enter the territory of Eagle County through the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then enter Ye Country through Eagle County, and this route seems to be safer than taking Hebei County." ”

Chu Yujia squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Chengzhen and said: "But I'm a person, I don't like densely populated places very much, I heard that there are nearly 400,000 people in Rongyang Mansion, this is really too much, there is no need to keep so many people, after breaking through the city, how many of these 400,000 people do you think is appropriate?"

What he wanted to do was already written on his face.

According to rough estimates, since the entry of the Northwest Army, the former Shu has lost more than 700,000 soldiers and civilians, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, which has caused great losses to the former Shu.

And now he wants to slaughter the city?

Could it be that he was a born butcher?

Fan Chengzhen's eyes were about to crack, and his eyes were bloodshot and scolded: "Chu Yujia, are you still not a person, is it true that the lives of the people of Qianshu are not human lives to you?"

"That's right, you're right. ”

Chu Yujia shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "For me, except for the lives of the people of Ye Kingdom, they are not human lives, they are all no different from pigs and dogs, if you kill them, you will kill them, who can help me?"

"Bastard, brute!"

Fan Chengzhen is a scholar, this may already be the most ugly word he can scold, pointing at Chu Yujia's fingers are trembling: "Chu Yujia, are you still not a person, if you do this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Fear of retribution, I won't do it. ”

Chu Yujia raised his head and said: "Now I'm asking you questions, do you agree or not, if you don't agree, our group of butchers with knives are ready to go to Qianshu to do a big job, don't say it when the time comes, we are ruthless, because it was you Fan Chengzhen who forced us to do this." ”

Burst......

Fan Chengzhen couldn't hold back any longer, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fell straight to the ground with his head up.

Several members of the former Shu mission around were all shocked when they saw this scene, and hurriedly arrived in front of Fan Chengzhen and helped him up from the ground.

Fan Chengzhen gasped several times, pointed at Chu Yujia and said, "If you want money, we can give it, but if you want land, not even an inch......"

As soon as the words fell, Fan Chengzhen fainted......

Seeing this, Chu Yujia glanced back at Zhao Kuan.

Zhao Kuan narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly at Chu Yujia.
