Furthermore, the Jiao family belonged to the prince and had a hostile relationship with them. In his heart, he wished that the two Jiaos would die on the border. If possible, he didn't want to send food and grass there, so he might as well starve to death.
Of course, Chen Hongyu did not dare to do this blatantly.
However, if there are any force majeure factors along the way that cause the food and fodder to be delivered late, or even something happens to him, it will not be his fault.
Chen Yuantao had no idea that Chen Hongyu was secretly planning this matter.
Chen Hongyu also didn't know that all his actions were controlled under Qian Yan's nose.
"He really imagined that the entire army transporting grain and grass was robbed by bandits, and he was also kidnapped."
"The bandit dared to rob food and grass. It means he is not afraid of the court. How could he kidnap him? He must have been killed directly and then robbed of food and grass." Qian Yan said.
Gong Yuhuai immediately understood: "I understand, Your Highness, Chen Hongyu was robbed and killed by bandits on the way to transport food and grass."
【Wonderful! Hahaha.】
Chen Hongyu, under Chen Yuantao's repeated instructions, set out to transport grain and grass to avoid accidents. He chose a place far away from Nanling to rob the grain and grass.
Unexpectedly, this became his life-threatening decision.
Half a month later, word spread to the capital that Chen Hongyu was robbed and killed by bandits while escorting grain and grass, and Chen Yuantao fainted from grief.
After waking up, he first suspected that someone was targeting his Chen family, and the most likely one was the Gongyu family.
Not long after, after he learned the truth from the people around Chen Hongyu, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He thought that someone was setting him up, but he never thought that it was his unlucky son's scheme that had him in trouble.
Chen Yuantao, who originally vowed to investigate further, became depressed. If the truth were known to the prince and the Manchu Dynasty, the Chen family would also get into trouble and be criticized.
Chen Yuantao always felt that life was getting harder and harder, and he seemed to be at a loss to do anything.
In the court hall, Chen Yuantao made a righteous request to the court to send troops to suppress the mountain bandits. He did not mention Chen Hongyu at all, but only said that the bandits had committed a taboo and criticized them.
Qian Yan fulfilled his wish and arranged for two of his men to go over and suppress the bandits to make a contribution.
Qian Yan still let Chen Yuantao arrange the matter of food and fodder, and said: "My father trusts the Grand Master the most."
Chen Yuantao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Is this trust? He just wanted something to happen to him.
He had to sacrifice a son for this. How dare he do anything with food and grass?
Ye Gong is so hateful.
(Ye Gong: I was almost paralyzed with anger.)
A few months later, the imperial court received good news from the border.
Jiao Changyu and Jiao Hui's attacking methods of one light and one dark drove the Waba country deep into the grassland.
The people of the Waba Kingdom harassed the people on the border of Dai Viet, and Jiao Changyu suppressed them publicly. Jiao Hui secretly led a team of highly skilled soldiers to find their tribe, carried out sneak attacks, and marked them along the way.
After the Waba Kingdom was attacked by surprise, they were also attacked by Jiao Changyu. There was no time to harass the people on the border and they were all too busy running for their lives.
At this time, the peace negotiation party in the DPRK proposed to surrender the Wa Ba Kingdom and provide sacrifices to Dai Viet in the future.
Qianyan ignored them. The Waba country was so poor and those people were so shameless. They agreed to pay tribute, but they didn't pay. Do they want to fight again?
"My father's intention is to directly beat them to disbandment."
"My father said that their place is too poor and they don't have much good things to offer, so it would be better to crush them in one fell swoop, just to scare the monkeys."
(Ye Gong: Yes, yes, it’s all what I said.)
[Haha, sympathize with Ye Gong for a second. 】
[Ye Gong: There are so many pots, I really can’t carry them. 】
Originally, some small countries on the Dai Viet border were very restless, and there were always frictions. It was just that the Wa Ba country was more arrogant than other small countries.
Another two months passed, and the Waba Kingdom was beaten by Jiao Changyu and Jiao Hui until it was declared disbanded.
Jiao Changyu and Jiao Hui confiscated all their weapons and returned to the court to receive their rewards. The two of them became prominent in the court.
With Qian Yan presiding over the court, Ye Gong never got better. Chen Yuantao suddenly realized that the Crown Prince was not stupid.
