Chapter 275 Prince Huaining, I just want to win once, even once
Second-rate!
In the imperial prison.
Prince Huaining looked calm, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said this.
Facing the defection of Prince Huaining.
Xu Qingxiao was inexplicably disbelieving.
After all, Prince Huaining is the prince. He has worked hard for so many years, but now that it has reached this point, Prince Huaining suddenly gives up.
Xu Qingxiao really couldn't accept it.
Are you serious about not struggling?
Feeling Xu Qingxiao's confused gaze, Prince Huaining's voice slowly sounded.
"I know what you are worried about."
"Actually, I didn't even think that I would reach this point, but after all, it still has something to do with you."
Prince Huaining spoke up.
But these words made Xu Qingxiao curious.
"Is it related to me? How can it be related to me?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"The king was wrong because he did not seize power back then, but chose to support Ji Ling to ascend to power."
"Believing their slander was my biggest mistake."
"Since then, I have been secretly promoting all this. At the beginning, everything was fine, and it was all under my control."
"But the further we get to the back, the more I feel that something is wrong. I am using them, and they are also using me."
"At that time, I was already a little vigilant, but faced with the huge temptation, I couldn't extricate myself."
"Until you appeared, no matter how I targeted you, you were able to save the day every time, and you were able to counterattack us."
"From that time, I realized that you were a variable, a variable for the Wei Dynasty, and even for the entire Central Continent for thousands of years."
"And today, you have completely made me understand that there is luck blessing between heaven and earth."
"You are this unique lucky person."
"So, I decided to drop everything and cooperate with you."
Prince Huaining explained.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao looked at Prince Huaining and said calmly.
"My lord, do you think I believe it?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke out, not because this reason was not good, but because it was too far-fetched.
Prince Huaining did not give any reason why he was moved.
I heard Xu Qingxiao say this.
Prince Huaining took a deep breath.
Then he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said slowly.
"Okay, I will tell you the truth."
"Since I have been with them, I have never won, not even once. Let me take the initiative to hand over the military talisman."
"The king was really deceived by lard and fell into their trap. They wanted to weaken my power. Later, when you appeared, I realized it."
"But they kept making me wait, and they kept making me wait, until you became the weather."
"I lost one step, and then I lost every step, so I want to win."
"It doesn't matter if you win once, even once."
"I wonder if Prince Xu can accept this reason?"
Prince Huaining was a little hysterical when he said this. His words came from the bottom of his heart.
He wants to win, not to prove how powerful he is.
But to prove to everyone that if you don't listen to yourself, you will be doomed.
"I believe."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, his face was calm, and he believed what Prince Huaining said.
But soon, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.
"Tell me all your plans and I will go find your Majesty. If things are really as you said, Your Majesty will be relieved."
"There is no problem in being a feudal king for you. At least I can spend my old age in peace."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
"There is no need to send me to the border, which will make you more afraid. I will continue to stay in the Wei Dynasty and don't want to leave."
Prince Huaining knew that being sent away was not a good thing. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so it was impossible for them not to guard against him.
If you stay in Kyoto, you will be able to survive.
"It doesn't matter."
"Exactly what they will do."
Xu Qingxiao doesn't care about this.
"There will be problems in the Demonic Sea. Not only the Demonic Sea, but also several other places need to be inspected."
"I am not sure. He is telling the truth. He is on guard against me."
"The barbarians will probably invade the Wei Dynasty in the future, so the border must be well prepared, but we must not alert the enemy."
"Otherwise, they will know immediately that I have rebelled. Of course, if you don't need me to continue to respond internally, you can tell me directly."
Prince Huaining said.
"Then what do you want to do according to the prince's wishes?"
Xu Qingxiao had no choice but asked Prince Huaining.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining looked extremely calm and said.
"It's very simple. Sacrifice some people in exchange for overall peace."
"It is inevitable to have first-class troops stationed in the four demonic realms. There is no need to do anything, as long as these first-class troops can stabilize the overall situation."
"Don't let the same thing happen as before, then some sacrifices are inevitable."
"Then we will pull out 500,000 elites and rush to the border in batches. We must remember not to alert the enemy."
"If the barbarians start a war, part of the defense map I gave you before will be true, and the other part will be false."
"If conditions permit, sacrifice this group of people so that the barbarians will think they have an opportunity and will not doubt me."
"Then if the barbarians dare to massacre and use newspapers and newspapers to increase the hatred of the people and send an army of 500,000 people, don't move yet."
"Let them disguise themselves as soldiers from the kings of various places, wait until the barbarians rush in, and fight them head-on once, but only once, and never go all out."
"To make them feel that the officers and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are nothing more than this, at this time, I will come forward and tell them that I am the one who asked the vassal kings from all over the world not to take action."
After Prince Huaining said this, he drew horizontally and vertically on the ground.
"At this time, the barbarians will inevitably become arrogant, and all the armies will invade the Wei Dynasty, and these 500,000 troops will cooperate with the vassal kings everywhere."
"We can encircle and suppress the barbarian army. At worst, we will have to fight a war of attrition. After all, this is our territory, the Wei Dynasty. We have supplies, but they don't have supplies."
"But the biggest problem is actually what they secretly refined."
Prince Huaining explained the overall combat ideas.
I have to say that Prince Huaining is very capable, and this combat strategy is basically the best plan.
Please enter the urn.
"How many people need to be sacrificed?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining made some rough calculations, and then spoke slowly.
"According to the bloodthirsty nature of the barbarians, at least 100,000 people."
Prince Huaining said an extremely terrifying number.
"One hundred thousand?"
"This is impossible."
Xu Qingxiao shook her head, this number was too terrifying.
The sacrifice of 100,000 people in vain did not have a great impact on the Wei Dynasty, but it was difficult for Xu Qingxiao to accept it.
But when Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
Prince Huaining's expression suddenly darkened.
"You are really kind."
"Why were you so unmerciful when you killed my son?"
he sarcastically said.
I think Xu Qingxiao is too kind.
"One yard owned by a yard."
Xu Qingxiao coughed a little.
I'm a little embarrassed, after all, Prince Huaining's son died in his own hands.
"Don't say such things."
"You are not a kind person, so don't pretend to be kind here."
"Do you know the biggest reason why I lost to you?"
"Part of it is contempt, and part of it is kindness."
"I'm old and don't have the killing power. Thirty years ago, you have died countless times."
"One hundred thousand people were sacrificed in exchange for razing the barbarians. Do I need to say more about the trade-offs involved?"
Prince Huaining sneered.
Then he continued to speak.
"Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition, the Seventh Northern Expedition, do you know how many people died?"
"There are tens of millions of them."
"It's only a hundred thousand people, but they can raze the barbarians. This is a great good thing. You should feel happy."
"Moreover, this is also my prediction, the best prediction."
"If this were not the case, and the barbarian army invaded, we might have prevented the current casualties of 100,000 people by alerting the enemy, but for the barbarians, they have escaped annihilation."
"How long can you live? One hundred years? Two hundred years? Five hundred years?"
"As long as the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty were there, the barbarians could not be destroyed. In the year of the Wei Dynasty, there was a Emperor Wu, but he could not conquer the barbarians."
"What do you think it is? Do you think Wei can't defeat a mere barbarian?"
"No, no, it's the Tuxie Dynasty, the Chu Yuan Dynasty."
"There are three major dynasties, and no one can do anything to the other. If these two dynasties are not behind it, what is a mere barbarian?"
"Furthermore, even if this is true, following my king's plan may not necessarily destroy the barbarians. After all, the two dynasties will not leave Wei alone."
Prince Huaining was furious.
He lost to Xu Qingxiao because of contempt, kindness, and because he was too old and did not have the killing power he had back then.
Of course, the most important thing is to have a group of pig teammates.
Now that he had switched sides, he never expected that Xu Qingxiao was also a pig teammate.
If this is the case, he will really be pissed to death.
"do not get excited."
"I didn't say no, I just thought about it and saw if there was any other way."
Xu Qingxiao comforted Prince Huaining.
This picture is very strange.
After all, the two of them had a life-and-death feud, and now Xu Qingxiao went to comfort him.
After a while.
Prince Huaining spoke up.
"I know, after all, you are a Confucian, Taoist and sub-sage. It is indeed not good for you to do this."
"But you have to think it over yourself and consider it carefully."
"Compassion does not control armies, and righteousness does not control wealth."
"For a dynasty, sometimes sacrifice is destined. Using the least sacrifice to get the greatest benefit is the real strategy."
"After these 100,000 people sacrificed their lives, we gave them good homes and their descendants will be loved. This is also a kind of compensation."
"Otherwise, once the barbarian army becomes vigilant, it will probably cause even greater disasters."
"At that time, it would not be one hundred thousand people who died, but millions, tens of millions, or even tens of millions."
Prince Huaining continued to persuade.
And Xu Qingxiao also understands this truth.
"I will discuss this matter with His Majesty carefully."
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I still want to ask you."
"Who are the people behind this, and what are their plans?"
"And why did we support His Majesty to ascend the throne in the first place?"
Xu Qingxiao looked at Prince Huaining and asked.
When the latter heard these questions, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly.
"Here are three questions."
He is very serious.
Xu Qingxiao: "."
Your uncle, what time has it been? Are you here to play tricks on me?
His face looked a little helpless.
Prince Huaining seemed a little satisfied. He seemed to be very happy to see Xu Qingxiao speechless.
"I don't know the person behind this."
"They cooperated with me, but they never told me who was behind me."
"But after so many years of cooperation, I probably know that there is a very powerful being behind these people, and he regards the three dynasties as his playthings."
"Their goal plan is to live forever and sacrifice the luck of the Great Wei Dynasty in order to achieve longevity."
Prince Huaining replied.
"Sacrifice the luck of the Wei Dynasty? To seek immortality?"
"Can this be done?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned, looked at Prince Huaining and said.
"I didn't think I could do it before, but now I think I can."
"However, their plan is definitely not this. From the current view, it should be that they want to resurrect some existence."
Prince Huaining is not stupid either. He doesn't just believe what others say.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao also understood.
This is no different from what Zhou Ling said.
Resurrection of the twelve demon gods, and then awaken the three fierce gods, return the world to its original state, thereby stealing immortality.
As for what exactly he wanted to steal, Xu Qingxiao didn't know much.
"Where are you supporting Your Majesty?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"So this is what I hate the most. When Emperor Wu passed away, I was qualified to compete for the throne, and the ministers in the court also supported me."
"As long as I am willing, it is very likely that I will become the new emperor of the Wei Dynasty. Even if I cannot become the new emperor, it will not be Ji Ling's turn."
"But it was at this time that they found me and asked me to give up the fight for the throne and choose Ji Ling as the emperor."
"So I support Ji Ling. She is a descendant of Emperor Wu. With my support, she can naturally ascend to the throne smoothly."
Prince Huaining said this.
This is true.
Ji Ling was originally a descendant of Emperor Wu, and with the strong support of Prince Huaining, he could indeed ascend to the throne smoothly.
It's just that there's still something that doesn't make sense here.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't know why it didn't make sense.
After all, he has never experienced this era, so he can't say anything.
"Do you really believe them that much?"
Xu Qingxiao asked curiously.
"Don't ask anymore."
"I don't want to remember this."
Prince Huaining did not want to mention this matter again, and his voice was a little unhappy.
"Any other news?"
"Let's say it together."
Xu Qingxiao did not continue to mention it, but asked Prince Huaining if there was any news.
"That's roughly it. Other things, it's useless if you know them."
"Xu Qingxiao, believe in me, sacrifice a small number of people, don't be merciful as a woman, only in this way can you defeat the barbarians."
"It's just that you must be careful. I always feel that the secret magic weapon refined by the Chu Yuan Dynasty is not that simple."
Prince Huaining said this.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but nodded.
This Thunder Cannon is somewhat similar to our Shenwu Cannon.
But the other party was talking about level four.
Prince Huaining guessed that it had the power of the third level, and it might even have the power of the second level.
Yipin is definitely impossible.
Second-grade Xu Qingxiao didn't think it was possible. After all, he knew better than anyone how difficult the process of refining the divine cannon was.
It should be level three, so it's normal for it to be hidden a little.
"I see."
"During this period, the prince can rest here with peace of mind. If there is any news, I will come again. If the prince has anything to say to me, just give me a shout."
Having said this, Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything more. He stood up and prepared to leave and report to His Majesty.
Prince Huaining didn't say anything, he just sat here quietly, silent.
After Xu Qingxiao leaves.
Prince Huaining seemed a little silent.
In fact, he hid one thing and didn't say it, but it doesn't mean much whether he said it or not.
But he did not lie to Xu Qingxiao, and he was serious about defecting this time.
Wait until Xu Qingxiao leaves completely.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Uncle Wang, what did you discuss with Xu Qingxiao?"
It's Ji Yuan's voice.
He was detained later and was placed in two cells behind Prince Huaining.
The exchanges between Xu Qingxiao and Prince Huaining were all exchanges of thoughts between warriors, and the third person could not hear them.
Naturally, Ji Yuan only knew that the two were communicating, but did not know what they were communicating with.
"Discuss with him how to make you the emperor of Wei."
Hearing Ji Yuan's voice, Prince Huaining said casually.
As soon as he said this, Ji Yuan suddenly showed surprise.
To be honest, at this moment, his feelings towards Xu Qingxiao have changed.
He fully understood how strong Xu Qingxiao was, and it was indeed impossible not to regret it.
Taking the road of domination made him sever his relationship with Xu Qingxiao. Now he regrets a little and regrets why he offended Xu Qingxiao.
If you don't offend Xu Qingxiao, talk to Xu Qingxiao carefully. If you can win over Xu Qingxiao, maybe your throne will be stable.
"How did he say?"
"If possible, if he helps me become emperor, I can forget about the past and make him the Grand Master of the Wei Dynasty."
Ji Yuan replied.
At the same time, his eyes were somewhat expectant, curious about how the conversation was going.
"It's useless. He wants to become the king of the Wei Dynasty and share half of the country."
Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Prince Huaining continued to make nonsense.
But he already knew that Ji Yuan had no chance of becoming emperor.
He has begun to waver.
Once a person who practices hegemony surrenders and his heart is shaken, it means that he has lost, completely lost.
"One word King of Side by Side?"
"He's too greedy."
Ji Yuan snorted, a little angry, feeling that Xu Qingxiao was too greedy.
Prince Huaining ignored Ji Yuan.
I'm thinking about something.
But it took a long time.
Ji Yuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"It's a bit too much to say "king side by side."
"But the highest vassal king can give him 30% of the country."
"Uncle Wang, what do you think?"
"Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang, please speak."
"Is it a little less? Or is it too much?"
"Uncle Wang, why don't I give you some?"
Ji Yuan's voice sounded, but it was also a martial arts exchange.
However, Prince Huaining ignored him.
And at this moment.
among the barbarians.
Boom.
With a shocking sound.
A small mountain turned into nothing in an instant.
