Your Majesty, the enemy troops are about to capture Yanzhou City now.
Once Yanzhou City is lost, the Chu Kingdom will be in danger! Your Majesty is a talented man and the God of War of the Chu Kingdom. If you don't go to war, who else can turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory?"
Eunuch Xu said in surprise.
He didn't expect that King Li would not agree to fight.
Chu Xuanchen's brows were filled with a coldness that kept strangers away from him, and he replied coldly: "The Chu country is full of talented people, and there are many good generals available. I would like to ask my father-in-law to recruit more talented people!"
"You..." Eunuch Xu saw that Chu Xuanchen had nothing to do with the matter, so he had to say: "Hey, well, let's go and reply to the emperor first."
As soon as Eunuch Xu left, Chu Xuanchen stood up and looked at Eunuch Xu's back with a cold and arrogant expression.
It's not that he doesn't agree to fight, but he can't be impatient at this time.
The emperor was originally afraid of him, thinking that he coveted his throne.
If he agrees too quickly at this time and cares too much about the people, he will gain a wave of popular support and arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Based on Emperor Hongyuan's suspicious character, he would definitely think, it's not his world, Chu Xuanchen's, so why should he be anxious?
Is he doing this just to win over people's hearts?
Thinking of those soldiers who died tragically, he was very worried and wanted to put on his armor immediately and go to the battlefield, but on the surface he had to ignore it and be indifferent.
Otherwise, not only will you not be able to save others, but you will be in trouble for your own life.
Now that King Jin has lost the battle and the court needs him to send troops to fight, Chen Ping and Jiang Ning's actions must stop.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuanchen quickly wrote two letters and asked his cronies to deliver the two letters to Chen Ping and Jiang Ning respectively.
He wanted the two of them to stop sending troops, especially Jiang Ning. He hoped that his cronies could intercept Jiang Ning before he set off to avoid trouble.
.
As soon as Eunuch Xu returned to the imperial study, he conveyed Chu Xuanchen's words to Emperor Hongyuan.
After he finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, the country is in trouble, but he, Prince Li, looks indifferent, as if the country's safety has nothing to do with him. He is too arrogant!"
After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan also looked furious, "Bold, this Prince Li is so lawless, I'm really angry to death!"
Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do to Chu Xuanchen.
At this time, he asked Chu Xuanchen to help him fight, and he could not offend him again.
However, he was furious, and a big stone was relieved in his heart.
The country is in such danger, but Chu Xuanchen is not in a hurry, which shows that he does not take Chu State seriously. Does he really not covet the throne?
Moreover, if Chu Xuanchen was so evasive, if the people knew about it, they would definitely despise him, and he would lose the support of the people.
He is not afraid of losing people's support, so how can he win them over?
.
Prince Li's Mansion
When Yun Ruoyue and Feng Qingyang learned that King Jin was defeated and the emperor wanted to ask Chu Xuanchen to fight, they stopped sending their children away.
Now that things have turned around and the emperor wants to use Chu Xuanchen to fight for him, he will definitely not kill him again.
In this way, Prince Li's Mansion can be saved and the children don't have to be sent away.
On the other side, Chu Xuanchen's spies have rushed to Jiangzhou, hoping to stop Jiang Ning before he sets off!
.
Two days later, when Emperor Hongyuan was worrying about the war at the border in the imperial study, the anxious voice of the messenger came from outside again, "report - urgent report from Yanzhou!!!"
"Another urgent report?
Say it quickly!"
When Emperor Hongyuan heard the word "urgent report", his heart jumped with fright.
Every time the emergency report was bad, he would get a headache when he heard it!
