Murong Heng's joining changed the situation in Yanyun County.
The Western Region is stable.
There won't be any trouble in Northern Xinjiang at the moment.
The situation in the south is still unclear, but there should not be any large-scale conflicts in the short term.
Now Xiao Chen can concentrate on dealing with the enemies to the east.
"Shunfeng Port must be captured!" Murong Hengyuan was in the Western Regions and also knew the importance of Shunfeng Port to Yanyun County.
"When I come back this time, I also want to discuss this matter with Li Wanjiang. In the opinion of the old marquis, will he agree? Will he send troops?" Xiao Chen wanted to hear Murong Heng's opinion.
"I will definitely agree if I agree. Shunfeng Port is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course Li Wanjiang wants to take it back. As for whether or when he will send troops, it is hard to say." Murong Heng said.
"As long as he agrees, I will work for him first. It doesn't actually matter whether he sends troops or not," Xiao Chen said.
"It's still important." Murong Heng disagreed, "Moreover, how many troops he sends, whether he sends troops from land or just the navy, how many troops he sends, and when he sends them? These are all of great importance."
If Li Wanjiang agreed to Xiao Chen's plan to regain Shunfeng Port but used the excuse that he couldn't provide any troops, then Xiao Chen would have no choice but to send troops to attack by himself.
If his attack fails, Li Wanjiang will definitely be held accountable, and may even use the issue to remove him, the governor of Yanyun County. In this case, Xiao Chen will be passive.
If his attack goes smoothly, Li Wanjiang will probably take the opportunity to quickly send troops and station them directly at Shunfeng Port. In this way, Xiao Chen will still be very passive.
"What the old Marquis said makes sense, so I won't ask him for instructions. How about I kill him first and then tell him?" Xiao Chen meant to take a look first.
If he fails, then he can find an excuse to say that the Russians provoked him first and he was just forced to fight back, so that he will not be guilty of anything.
If it is successfully won, then Li Wanjiang will have no reason to send troops to Shunfeng Port.
"No, if we want to attack Shunfeng Port, we must first obtain Li Wanjiang's consent, because if we attack Shunfeng Port, it is equivalent to directly going to war with the Russians. They will definitely not give up and will definitely exert huge pressure on Li Wanjiang.
What if Li Wanjiang uses you as a scapegoat?" Murong Heng thought carefully.
"So a battle with the Russians is inevitable, but it must be fought in the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is justifiable, and it will directly put the pressure on Li Wanjiang. If the Russians send troops to attack in the future, he will have to give
We support..."
The two chatted happily, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative. After a while, Murong Heng was still talking to himself, but Xiao Chen took the initiative to end the conversation and asked him to rest for a while. Murong Heng would have to go to the palace tomorrow morning.
Then he left reluctantly.
This in-depth discussion was of great benefit to Xiao Chen. Murong Heng's insights into the current situation were quite penetrating, which opened up Xiao Chen's horizons. He also gave Xiao Chen a lot of practical suggestions.
Many of them were things Xiao Chen and the others had not considered before...
Murong Heng also got to know Xiao Chen from this in-depth conversation and felt that this prince was really smart, wise and broad-minded!
Not only can you immediately understand the suggestions he puts forward, but you can even draw inferences from one example and go one step further based on his suggestions!
For example, he mentioned the importance of the navy and suggested that Xiao Chen must build a fleet of at least ten large warships at all costs in the future to defend Shunfeng Port, so that the situation in the east of Yanyun County can be fundamentally stabilized.
.
Not only did Xiao Chen agree, he also planned to directly increase the number of warships tenfold or even dozens of times. The navy he wanted to build would not only be used to defend Tongfeng Port, but also to gallop throughout the East China Sea and even the Southeast Asia!
Such a large-scale fleet is definitely not just used to defend the coastal waters. It seems that Xiao Chen has a big plan!
His eyes have crossed the ocean and seen farther away...
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Xiao Chen ordered people to prepare horses and let's go into the palace right away.
Murong Heng was stunned. Didn't he just go in directly?
You should at least change your clothes and put on makeup, right?
Although I am from the Murong family, I will not be embarrassed.
In addition, what status do I have when I enter the palace? If the guard guarding the gate asks me, how should I answer?
If we encounter any temporary emergency when entering the palace, how should we deal with it?
And can we see Danqiu when we go in? She is the queen, can anyone see her if she wants to?
The guards in the palace must also verify my identity. How will I return to the palace?
It would be inappropriate to say that I am Murong Heng.
What should I do if I meet someone who knows me? Then aren’t we all done playing together!
If Li Wanjiang knew that I was coming, would he die of joy?
This is tantamount to sending someone's head thousands of miles away...
Xiao Chen said, Old Marquis, you are worrying too much. In fact, this matter is not that complicated. I am not bragging to you. I always walk in the inner courtyard of the palace on an equal footing.
You can rest assured that everything is with me, as long as you don't tell others that you are Murong Heng.
That's fine, I'll just listen to the prince.
Murong Heng said this, but he could not help but feel uneasy in his heart. Xiao Chen was chatting and laughing with Ling'er and Xiao Ye along the way, but he was worried and said nothing.
Ordinarily, Xiao Chen should be a very stable person, why is he being so playful about such an important matter?
This is the royal palace, the most heavily guarded place in the world. You thought it was really your backyard!
You are still doing it... let me see how you are doing it!
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, you have come into the palace so early?" As soon as the guards guarding the Xibian Gate saw Xiao Chen and others, they rushed over to say hello.
Hello, Miss Ling'er! You are really extraordinarily radiant today. Children often say that Mr. Xiao is a fairy in the sky, and Miss Ling'er, you are like a fairy descending to earth!
This is not flattery, it is actually what we say from our hearts.
General Xiao looks good today, his face is rosy, and our brothers are really happy to see it...
The ground is too cold on this cold day, so I won’t kneel down for you!
As for Murong Heng, no one even glanced at him, because since Mr. Xiao didn't introduce him, brothers had better not ask random questions.
Even routine inspections were omitted. The palace door was opened wide and four people were invited in. The road might be slippery and they were told to watch their steps...
"This palace gate guard is really shameless! Why did he let me in without even asking?" Murong Hengdu was still confused when he came in. It was too smooth, right?
What's going on with those royal guards on duty at the palace gate?
If the guards under my command dare to neglect their duties like this, they will be beheaded one by one and beheaded in public!
This is a royal palace!
Xiao Chen just smiled and said nothing, saying, "If you don't show off now, when will you show off?"
The problem is that he installed it!
I met many people on the road, but when I saw Xiao Chen, they all took the initiative to avoid saying hello, but no one asked him who Murong Heng was?
Isn’t that what even the emperor can do? This chapter has been completed!
