Chapter 837: Not chaotic in the face of danger, worthy of praise
Chapter 837 It deserves praise for staying calm in times of crisis
"At least, I know better than you."
Chen Qi responded with a smile.
Chen Qi doesn’t know how to lead troops to fight?
He is China's Supreme God of War. Not to mention other things, when it comes to arranging troops and leading troops to fight, as long as he dares to be second, no one dares to be first!
Of course, Chen Qi's words sounded so arrogant and domineering to Chen Pei'en's ears.
I just heard Chen Pei'en chuckle, "What a loud tone! Since you said that we are just talking on paper, then I really want to know what good ideas you have. Why don't you tell us and let everyone listen?"
Chen Qi moved his fingers slightly and knocked lightly on the table.
"It's hard to take good advice, but I do have a plan here."
Chen Yinghao raised his eyebrows, "What's the plan, but it's okay to say it?"
"The Yanyun family is preparing to join forces to deal with our Chen royal family. They each send 200,000 troops. However, not all of these 200,000 troops are members of their own clan. They also include various royal families and marquis families."
"In that case, why can't we follow suit and invite some other forces to help us?"
Chen Zhiman snorted lightly, "To put it lightly, they invited other royal families and the Hou family to help. However, they started preparations three years ago. During this period, they must have done a lot of work."
"You said you want us to invite some royal families and marquis families to help. Is it possible in such a short time?"
Everyone nodded slightly.
Indeed, the two royal families of Yan and Yun are about to lead their troops northward. As long as they are well prepared, they can arrive in a few days.
The Chen royal family usually has a good prestige, but it is not easy to invite some of the surrounding royal families and the marquis to work for them in such a short period of time.
What's more, the two royal families of Yan and Yun must have promised those royal families and the marquis many benefits before they were willing to be pawns.
The Chen royal family is now facing a great crisis. Who dares to help the Chen royal family?
If the Chen royal family is wiped out, all the forces that came to help will definitely be settled by Queen Qiu.
Anyone who has a little bit of overall perspective will not get involved in such a thankless thing.
"The Third Prince's words are wrong. Why should we abandon the near and seek the far away? Don't we [Shangjing] have a lot of such resources?"
"[Going to Beijing]?"
Chen Wenbin laughed loudly, "Chen Qi, are you stupid? When we [go to Beijing], where did the royal family and the marquis family come from?"
Chen Qi glanced at Chen Wenbin, still smiling, "If you think about it again, is it really true?"
Just as Chen Wenbin was about to retort, Chen Yinghao on the side suddenly reacted, "Chen Qi, you mean, the four major golden-domed families and the four major silver-domed families in our [Shangjing]?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone in the hall was suddenly stunned.
Chen Qi nodded slightly, "Not bad.
As we all know, our [Shangjing] is the only imperial city that can accommodate other powerful families besides the royal family."
"For example, the four major golden-domed families and the four major silver-domed families in [Shangjing]. Their respective powers are comparable to those of some royal families and noble families."
"If we can get these families to help us, the Chen royal family, not only can we defeat the two great royal families of Yan and Yun, but we will at least be able to fight in a battle."
Everyone looked at each other.
Chen Qi's words are reasonable. Although the four golden-top families and the four silver-top families that exist in Shangjing do not dare to develop aggressively due to the Chen royal family above them.
But they each still made a lot of small moves secretly, such as some personal guards and family guards, which have reached a certain scale.
Because the Chen royal family felt that they were not a threat, they didn't pay much attention to them.
If these people could be combined together, they would be quite a force.
Chen Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly, "But how can we convince them to help the Chen Royal Family?"
This is the crux of the matter.
You must know that the four golden-top families and the four silver-top families have been in Shangjing for so many years, and they have been suppressed by the Chen royal family.
Although the Chen royal family was not like the two great royal families of Yan and Yun, they killed all the powerful families in the cradle early.
However, in order to establish prestige, some tough policies were inevitably used to suppress them.
As a result, those so-called four major gold and silver-top families must have been resentful towards the Chen royal family for a long time.
Under such circumstances, the Chen royal family has suffered a catastrophe, and it is considered good if they don't applaud, so why should they help you?
Chen Qi looked around at everyone and said, "Don't forget one thing. In Yandu where the Yan Royal Family is located, and in Yuncheng where the Yun Royal Family is located, there are no powerful families of any scale."
"If [Shangjing], where my royal family, Chen, is located, is attacked by two royal families, where do you think these four major gold and silver-top families in [Shangjing] will go?"
Chen Yinghao suddenly slapped the table, "That's right!"
"If [Shangjing] is occupied by the two royal families of Yan and Yun, with their temper, they will definitely not be able to tolerate the existence of such family forces as the four gold and silver kings."
"In other words, the four major gold and silver-top families are now like grasshoppers standing on a rope with me, the Chen Royal Family, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold?"
Chen Qi smiled and nodded, "That's the truth. As long as we tell these families about the strengths of each, I believe they will make a wise choice."
At this time, Chen Yinghao finally had a relieved smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that Chen Qi could stay calm and considerate in such a crisis situation. He taught us a good lesson."
Chen Qi shook his head modestly and said, "The ancestors made false praises, and the younger generation just expressed some of their own opinions, which cannot be said in a dignified hall."
"Hey~~~ You are too modest. The Chen royal family is now at a critical juncture. Even a veteran like me who has lived for hundreds of years can no longer keep calm, but you can analyze the situation so thoroughly. It's really amazing.
good!"
Chen Qi is only in his twenties or thirties. Compared with most people present, he is more than one round younger?
Being able to face danger without fear at such a young age is indeed commendable.
Compared with people like Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, and Chen Wenbin who command armies on paper, they are much better.
"Yeah, it's just some speculative and ill-fated schemes. There's nothing to be proud of."
Not far away, Chen Zhiman said sourly.
Chen Wenbin pursed his lips, "Yes, it sounds reasonable, but those families may not agree to help us."
Chen Xiaotian ignored the complaints of Chen Zhiman and others and waved his hand.
“Now that we have such a good proposal, let’s put it into practice without further delay!”
Later, Chen Xiaotian ordered several Taifus to divide their troops into several groups and go to Beijing to lobby other wealthy families on behalf of the Chen royal family.
Some of the discussions that followed had no nutritional value, and the meeting ended early.
Chen Qi didn't stay too long. Although he was the nominal head of the [Chen Royal Family], he actually had no real power.
However, it is understandable that no one can rest assured that a descendant of an outer sect is suddenly allowed to lead the entire [Chen Royal Family], let alone at such a critical moment.
Everything still has to be done step by step.
Chen Qi was happy to accept this. He was a person who liked leisure. Without real power, it meant that he would be freed from a lot of tedious matters. It would be nice to be free and at ease.
