There is naturally Li Jing's shadow behind this matter, of course, Li Jing didn't do anything, but he had already sent his henchmen a few days ago to leak the strategy and purpose of King Su to Dong Bohou, the old man of King Zhou, with a slight modification.

The next situation was just as Li Jing expected, even if this Eastern Bohou was a loyal minister or a hero, he would definitely take the initiative to cooperate with Li Jing to prevent this possible big war in eastern Kyushu.

Because if you really go to the east to conquer Dongyi, Dongbohou Donglu will definitely have to make great efforts. The most important thing is the strategy of the king himself, this war will definitely not end soon, and Donglu will inevitably be really damaged when the time comes.

As the largest of the princes of the East China Sea, even if the Eastern Bohou is very loyal to the king of Xu, the interests he represents are the interests of the major princes, so he is destined to be opposed to this war.

Then there was such a move, the princes of the 72nd Route of the East China Sea rebelled, and instead of being passively used as a spear by the king to conquer Dongyi, it was better to take the initiative to attack and control the dominance of the war in their own hands.

Of course, all of this also requires Li Jing's cooperation, only Li Jing's attitude is more resolute, and it can be said that he would rather die than obey. King Su made him feel that the Eastern Crusade was indeed hopeless, so he would change his strategy, and then such a step would be effective.

Then the next thing became very simple, accompanied by Li Jing, the king of Chentang inspected Chentang Pass, learned about the changes and construction of Chentang Pass over the years, and then explained the matter of the Eastern Expedition in Chentang Pass.

The purpose of the explanation is also very simple, that is, to save his face and credibility as the lord of the big business, and to make an explanation for the oath meeting that informed the world.

And this kind of thing, as an emperor, a member of the royal family who has played power politics since childhood, of course, no longer talks about it, not to mention that Li Jing has arranged everything properly.

Therefore, the king immediately announced that such a pledge meeting he held in Chaoge this time was completely a pretext, mainly to deceive the rebellious princes in the East China Sea.

And explained that as early as a month ago, the imperial court had received information that it was those princes in the East China Sea who were plotting to rebel, so in order to have an excuse to send troops to come, they said that they would conquer the Dongyi tribe.

Later, the king affirmed everything Li Jing had done in Chentangguan, and affirmed what Chentangguan had done over the years, of course, he didn't mention anything about the Dongyi tribe.

Although he was forced to desperation, the king decided not to attack Dongyi again, but his prejudice against the Dongyi tribe did not change. Therefore, he did not make any comments on Li Jing's policy towards the Dongyi people.

In a room in the inner courtyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, the three of them, Huang Feihu and Li Jing, as if they were in Chaoge City, seemed to have forgotten all the previous conflicts and contradictions, and were still able to sit together, drink and have fun.

"Li Jing, you must be secretly happy in your heart at this moment, playing me with King Wucheng and the 100,000 army in a circle, it seems that all the way is according to your will, like a chess piece. After drinking a few glasses, King Su said to Li Jing with a smile.

Li Jing immediately stopped his wine glass and seemed to be very serious and said: "These are all Your Majesty's magnanimity, I just know that Your Majesty must be a wise lord, so I dare to be so presumptuous." ”

"You don't pretend to be dead for me, I was deceived by your serious appearance when we were singing in the court. And you don't pour me ** soup, this time you are ruthless, I remember it. Seeing that Li Jing was still with such a upright expression at this moment, the King couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"Li Jing, you should have told me a long time ago that this Dongyi clan is the believer you need, why did we make so many misunderstandings. You're my sister's husband, and I can certainly change your strategy in order to make you a god. You're good, you're always dodging and almost irreparable. We're really disappointed that you don't trust us so much. ”

Of course, Li Jing just listened to these remarks of the king of Zhou, and did not take them seriously, God knows what the actual situation would be if he told him truthfully.

"Second brother, this time it is indeed me Li Jing who is selfish, and I can't help you. However, I can guarantee that as long as I am here in Chentangguan for a day, to the east of Chaoge City, I will have no worries for a day. "Anyway, it is indeed a fact that Li Jing took advantage of the King of Zhou, Li Jing still has some guilt in his heart, and he took the initiative to reassure the King of Zhou at the moment.

And the king of the Xuan only smiled at Li Jing's assurance, and had no other words.

The Lord of Kyushu came here in person, and it can be said that it has almost never happened since the establishment of Chentangguan. In addition, the rumors of the previous war, which have now been confirmed by the King of Xu, are also a non-existent thing.

The local people fell into an unprecedented carnival, because the king came to Chentangguan, and the merchants of the whole country got such news, and they also rushed here, further accelerating the economic development of Chentangguan, which was also a kind of unexpected joy for Li Jing.

Of course, as the son of heaven of the great merchants, it is impossible for the king to stay in this Chentang Pass for a long time, and after staying in Li Jing's mansion for a few days, he is ready to return to this court.

After all, there are still a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with, the reason why he came in person this time is to be able to better persecute Li Jing, at that time he felt that others might not be able to hold Li Jing at all, of course, it turned out that he had no way to do it himself.

Second, the unprecedented importance attached to this war is necessary, so it must be checked personally. But now there is no need for this, as far as those princes in the East China Sea are concerned, it is just an exaggeration to say that it is seventy-two roads, and Huang Feihu alone can completely deal with it.

However, before leaving, King Su also issued a new appointment, that is, to appoint this Dou Rong as the chief soldier of the Wandering Soul Pass. For such a person who newly appeared beside the King of Xu, because there was no actual contact, Li Jing didn't know too much. I just know that he has some similarities with himself, he is also familiar with the art of war, and his wife is also an immortal.

Of course, for such an arrangement as King Xu, Li Jing obviously felt that Zixin no longer trusted him so much. If Chentang Pass is a crossroads of the forces in the eastern part of the Great Shang, then the Wandering Soul Pass is the first pass to guard against the princes of the East China Sea.

Sending such a capable person to sit in the Wandering Soul Pass, of course, the intention is very obvious. However, Li Jing had no objections, because he didn't have any other thoughts himself, so he naturally wouldn't feel a headache about this Dou Rong.
