The conflict between Han Ziqi and Feng Yu did not cause any bloodshed, and he met Xie Jue, who had been in the house and never left the house. Han Ziqi had never said hello to him. However, as the prince of Sangnan, he knew who Xie Jue was.
King Sangnan and Han Ziqi knew about the matter in the Sangnan royal family. If given a chance, King Sangnan and Han Ziqi would definitely kill Xie Jue to avoid future troubles.
However, killing Xie Jue is not that easy.
Han Ziqi sent people to assassinate Xie Jue. When he knew Xie Jue's identity, he sent spies to kill him. The reason for his enmity with Xie Xun was because the assassination was exposed. The assassin and the spies were tracked by Xie Xun all the way to Liuzhou. Assassinating Xie Jue was too much.
It was risky and complicated, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was not interested in letting Xie Jue return to Sangnan, so he sent someone to talk to King Sangnan once, and the matter was settled.
Later, when the Hou Mansion was destroyed, both King Sangnan and Han Ziqi felt threatened, fearing that Xie Jue's brothers would be surrounded and suppressed by the court, so Xie Jue revealed his identity and succeeded Sangnan.
Sangnan and Yanyang are different!
The Sangnan royal family has very strong clan and sacrificial control. It is not the exclusive power of the royal family. The clan recognizes blood, and the sacrificial ministers also recognize blood. Only when the direct bloodline is exhausted, will the successor be selected from the clan. Today's Sangnan kings always feel that they have status.
Unstable, afraid that the clan would know Xie Jue's life experience.
"I was angry for a moment and had a conflict with the third girl. I didn't expect that even you two were alarmed. I am here to apologize to the third girl." Han Ziqi was flexible and flexible. Although he saluted Feng Yu, his eyes saw Xie Jue and he would not
Too presumptuous, looking away after just one glance, Xie Jue immediately stepped forward.
The wind and snow became more and more fierce, making people almost unable to open their eyes. Han Ziqi had to look up at Xie Jue.
Xie Xun flew off his horse and nervously grabbed Feng Yu's arm to protect him, "Are you hurt?"
Feng Yu shook her head, not wanting to cause trouble, "We had a bit of a quarrel, so it won't get in the way."
"Han Ziqi, if you want to do business, do business. If you can't negotiate, take action. Are you a bandit? Who told you that I must sell to you? Only the robbers will buy and sell by force."
Han Ziqi chuckled, "My lord, you deliberately dragged me to Xizhou, showing that you could talk, and now you regret it. Is this reasonable?"
"Then what can you do? We have the goods, but you don't." Xie Xun spread his hands, "Don't you just have to endure it? When there was an epidemic in Yangzhou, when you went to Beijing to discuss mutual trade, weren't you taking advantage of the situation and making the lion open its mouth?"
Han Ziqi, "..."
Xie Jue didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he dismounted and walked up to Han Ziqi, "Sangnan and Jiangnan are going to fight, and the Ningzhou cavalry won't help you. Go back and tell King Sangnan that I'm not interested in a small place like Sangnan.
You are not interested in cooperating either."
Han Ziqi was furious, dumbfounded and humiliated, "In a tiny place, you..."
Xie Xun was also happy. As long as the second brother didn't quarrel with him, he was very happy. "Is Sangnan as big as the Twelve Prefectures? This is not a tiny place. It has 200,000 military supplies. You can gather 200,000 troops together."
?"
Han Ziqi was so angry that he kept his temper down and said, "Are you not interested in Sang Nan?"
"Not interested." Xie Jue said indifferently, "Your Sangnan matter has nothing to do with me. Have you made it clear enough?"
They were cousins in name only, but they did not know each other and had a natural hostile relationship. King Sangnan kept secret about Xie Jue's life experience for many years because of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Xie Jue was the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei and lived in Yanyang.
Because of his high position and authority, there is really no need to come to Sangnan, and exposing his identity would not be beneficial to either of them.
Now that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is gone, everything is different.
King Sangnan sent Han Ziqi to Xizhou, ostensibly to discuss iron ore, but actually wanted to discuss cooperation with Xie Jue. Unexpectedly, Xie Jue knew that he was in the city but had never seen him, forcing him to take dangerous measures.
"Second Young Master, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"My second brother has nothing to say to you!" Xie Xun flatly objected.
"good!"
Xie Jue and Xie Xun spoke almost at the same time. Xie Xun was startled. When Han Ziqi smiled proudly, Xie Jue said, "Come with me, Zhixu. Ayu, take someone aside to rest."
"Okay, second brother."
In the Xifeng Inn, Han Ziqi looked at the Xie brothers across from him with vigilance. He didn't understand why Xie Jue called out to Xie Xun. This was supposed to be an internal discussion in their Sangnan. Because Xie Xun was present, Han Ziqi was hesitant to speak.
Xie Xun drank tea and calmed down, "My second brother is already here. If you have anything to say, just say it and don't waste our time."
Han Ziqi poured the tea, picked it up, and said to Xie Jue, "Speaking of which, I should call you cousin."
"When it comes to business, let's talk business. Don't get involved with relatives. My second brother doesn't have that many cousins." Xie Xun slammed the tea cup on the table and warned Han Ziqi, "What kind of tea is it? It's worthy of being served to my brother."
Xie Jue was silent and did not refute, but Han Ziqi didn't care. He drank tea and put down the cup, "My father sent me to Xizhou, firstly to discuss war preparations, and secondly to talk to the second young master about various cooperation matters."
"Speak!" Xie Jue spoke concisely and concisely. He was not talkative by nature. In recent years, he had been forced to socialize and deal with common affairs. He was not as reticent as before, but he still didn't want to waste words when dealing with strangers.
Han Ziqi said, "Sangnan has lived in a corner for decades and lived and worked in peace and contentment. Jiangnan focuses on commerce and farming, and is rich in food. But after all, Sangnan was the territory that was set aside during the civil strife in Yanyang, and it paid tribute to Yanyang every year.
For decades, Yanyang still regarded Sangnan as its vassal state and its territory. When the Marquis of Zhenbei defeated the Northern Barbarians, the general was training troops in the south of the Yangtze River and was already planning to march to the south of the Yangtze River. We, Sangnan
There is a knife hanging above our head, and we don’t know when it will fall. We have been autonomous for decades and no longer want to pay tribute to Yanyang. Sangnan is not a vassal state of Yanyang. We have our own territory, our own monarch, and our own
people. Therefore, Sang Nan wanted to use troops against Yanyang. When the Ningzhou cavalry judged that Kyoto was reached, we should attack Jiangnan. Unfortunately, the third girl suddenly stopped preparing for the iron ore war, and the trade between Jiangnan and the Twelve States was interrupted.
Suddenly, we were not fully prepared. One month before the Yangzhou epidemic, we were also ready to march. Who knew that the plague would be rampant again? At this time, we marched to Jiangnan, fearing that the plague would spread in the army, so we repeated it again and again.
Wait, now I have full wings. My father sent me to Xizhou just to cooperate with the Ningzhou cavalry."
Xie Xun's expression was solemn, and a wave of anger rushed through his blood, but he tried his best to suppress it. Xie Jue understood clearly, "You hope that the Ningzhou cavalry will cooperate with Sang Nan to send troops to besiege the court from the south to the north. I will attack Zhongzhou, and you will attack
Jiangnan, annex Yanyang?"
"Exactly!" Han Ziqi said, "The Ningzhou cavalry will march into Zhongzhou, and the Jiangnan garrison will definitely rush to the Zhongzhou battlefield. Zhongzhou has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Ningzhou cavalry has been fighting against the Northern Barbarians for decades and is good at blocking battles.
The Ningzhou battlefield is flat, and the cavalry has been fighting for decades according to the characteristics of the Northern Barbarians' charge. Positional battles are rarely fought. The Jiangnan garrison is exactly the opposite of Zhongzhou. You should also know what your chances of winning are in Zhongzhou and Jiangnan. But.
If the Jiangnan garrison is dragged to death by Sang Nan, your chances of winning in Zhongzhou will be greatly improved. You are short of food, and we just have it. We are short of military supplies, and you also have it. If we supply each other, we can capture all the land in Yanyang within a year.
"
"Then what?" Xie Jue asked, "After annexing Yanyang, how will the land be distributed? Who will take over Kyoto?"
"We Sangnan are sending troops to help you avenge and seize the world. My cousin also said that Sangnan is a small place and we don't have that big ambition. As long as you take revenge and ascend the throne, allocate the thirteen cities in Jiangnan to them.
The two countries coexist peacefully and fight against the northern barbarians together."
