Everything Sang Nan planned was within Xie Jue's expectations.
Xie Xun was so angry that he laughed back, "The thirteen cities in the south of the Yangtze River, from Liling in the southeast of Beihe River to Yangzhou and Lanzhou, all belong to you. It is a small place, and the ambition is not small. They have taken away the thirteen richest cities in Yanyang.
, why don’t you dream? Dreaming is faster.”
Han Ziqi knew that Xie Xun would be angry, so he chuckled and said, "We Sangnan can't help you conquer the world by sending troops, money, and food. Of course, we have to benefit. These thirteen cities belong to us, and half of the taxes we earn every year will be given to you."
, it can be regarded as co-governance of thirteen cities, this can also be regarded as a buffer zone between the two countries, the best of both worlds, you take revenge, and we get the land. If we only rely on the Ningzhou cavalry, it will not be that easy to defeat Zhongzhou and Jiangnan."
"Besides..." Han Ziqi drawled his voice, "My cousin is one of our own, and I am not afraid to tell you that during the peace talks between the Northern Barbarians, the spies who stayed in Yanyang did indeed pass news to Sang Nan. During the peace talks between the Northern Barbarians,
, Sang Nan deliberately frequently sent troops to the border to put pressure on Yanyang. My father knew that if the Northern Barbarians completely surrendered to Yanyang, Sang Nan would be the next to destroy the country. We also wanted to protect ourselves. Sang Nan and the Northern Barbarians have been
They all have their own contact information. Dugu Jing signed a peace agreement with Yanyang, but did not sign a peace agreement with Ningzhou Cavalry. If he knew that Ningzhou Cavalry had rebelled against Yanyang, and he raised troops to attack Ningzhou, you would be overwhelmed, so why not talk to me?
Cooperate, you are my cousin, and we, Sangnan, are naturally willing to do our best to help you."
Xie Xun and Xie Jue's expressions darkened. As they expected, the Northern Barbarians did collude with Sang Nan during the peace talks, but they couldn't find any evidence, and they didn't know they communicated with each other.
If it weren't for the collusion between Sang Nan and Beiman, Dugu Jing wouldn't be so arrogant during the peace talks.
Ever since the peace talks, he had made up his mind to kill everyone in the Hou Mansion.
"Do you know what I think?" Xie Jue looked at him indifferently, "I returned to Sangnan, showed my identity, sat on the throne, and then joined forces with Zhixu. After the Ningzhou Cavalry won the battle, I entrusted Sangnan to
How about reunifying the two countries?"
Han Ziqi's face changed slightly, his heart was beating wildly, and he laughed and said, "Aren't you not interested in tiny places?"
"I wasn't interested at first, but suddenly I became interested again."
Han Ziqi, "..."
Han Ziqi's smile faded. The basis of his conspiracy with Xie Jue was that Xie Jue concealed his identity and did not get involved in Sangnan. "Second Young Master, even if you reveal your identity and your aunt is dead, who can prove your identity? That's right, I and I
Father knows, but we will never reveal a word, and you can't find anyone to prove your identity. Sangnan, you can't go back. Now we are kind-hearted, helping you, and helping you get revenge.
I mean to harm you. If you don’t want to cooperate with us, we won’t make things difficult for you.”
"If we don't join forces with you, will you still send troops to Jiangnan?"
"Yes!" Han Ziqi said firmly, "In the past few decades, we have been waiting for help, just so that one day we will no longer be forced by Yanyang."
Xie Xun did not understand the strength of Sang Nanjun, but he believed in the commander's ability.
"Since the Ningzhou Cavalry is unwilling to help me, then just watch the fire from the other side and be a bystander." Han Ziqi knew that we couldn't reach an agreement, so he settled for the next best thing.
Xie Xun poured him a cup of tea, "Although my second brother and I rebelled from Yanyang and ruled Ningzhou across the river from the imperial court, if there is war in the south of the Yangtze River, we will not sit idly by and ignore it. The land of Yanyang will never allow it.
If outsiders get involved, you will never even think of setting foot in Yanyang!"
"What if you send troops to help Jiangnan and Dugujing attacks?"
Xie Jue's eyes darkened.
Xie Xun slapped the table so hard that it almost broke into pieces. "Han Ziqi, are you threatening me?"
The Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry is the lifelong enemy of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion!
The threat from Sang Nan was nothing compared to that of the Northern Barbarians. In the past few years, the climate in the Northern Barbarians' royal court had improved, and people were living and working in peace and contentment. During the day, Dugu Jing knew that the Ningzhou cavalry had rebelled against Yanyang. At night, he could lead the Northern Barbarian cavalry to sneak attack on Ningzhou.
state.
"This is the truth." Han Ziqi said with a smile, "Two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser, Your Majesty."
Xie Xun was furious and was stopped by Xie Jue, "Okay, I'll think about it."
"Second brother!"
Han Ziqi was confident and determined, "Cousin, if the Ningzhou Cavalry agrees to cooperate, can they also provide these armors and weapons in full?"
Xie Jue remained silent and did not respond. He stood up and left. Xie Xun got up angrily and said coldly, "You are dreaming!"
Han Ziqi looked at the backs of the Xie brothers leisurely.
Strong enemies are everywhere, and they will either join forces or be annexed. Cousin, even if you are extremely smart, what can you do? Smartness cannot save your Yanyang, nor can it save the people of Yanyang.
When Feng Yu saw their brothers leaving the inn, she also followed him out. The second brother was very happy and angry, and Xie Xun knew at a glance that he had to hold back his anger. His internal injuries had not yet healed, so Feng Yu was afraid of getting angry, so she held his hand.
Holding his fingers tightly and stroking his palm tenderly, Xie Xun was like a violent lion, gradually calming down his anger under the gentle comfort.
"Han Ziqi, wishful thinking!" Xie Xun was angry, but he became anxious. He would leave for Ningzhou as soon as possible, but something would happen later. What if Sang Nan sent a message to the Northern Barbarians, and Dugu Jing really attacked Ningzhou?
"Second brother, what should I do?"
"Go back home first."
Feng Yu soon learned that Han Ziqi had a grand plan, and also knew that Xie Xun was now in a dilemma, either to watch the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, or to return to Ningzhou to fight against the northern barbarians.
This is not a choice. Even she knows that Ningzhou cannot start a war and can only watch Sang Nan march to Jiangnan. They can't do anything.
Feng Yu just comforted Xie Xun.
You can only listen to Xie Jue on this matter.
No wonder Han Ziqi is confident and willing to wait until the end of the year in Xizhou. He has a trump card that the Xie brothers cannot refuse. He has only been recuperating for two years. This matter requires war. Although he is not as stretched as he was two years ago, he is not as rich.
Feng Yu doesn't want to fight, but the world situation will not be as she wishes. Changes in dynasties are the imperial road paved with blood and bones. Xie Jue and Xie Xun both want to capture Yanyang without any blood, but their wishes may be in vain.
Things have priorities, and this matter cannot be decided at once.
Several people returned to the mansion, and the maid served hot tea.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was cold. Xie Jue's fingers were stroking the tea cup, and the red fingertips gradually warmed up. If Ningzhou, Jiangnan... Zhongzhou. Three places were at war at the same time, Yanyang would be dragged into decades of war again.
It's hard to calm down.
The battle between the Northern Barbarians and Ningzhou must be fought!
Sang Nan and Jiang Nan... are not!
If I give the book to my cousin and ask him to talk to Sang Nan, I wonder if it can delay the time. Has Han Ziqi revealed all his cards? Or is he hiding a back-up plan?
"Second brother, in a few days, when my injury is almost healed, I will return to Ningzhou."
"No rush." Xie Jue looked at the snow and wind outside the window, "Let me think about it."
Xie Jue didn't drink tea either, so he got up and went back to the hospital. The steaming tea gradually cooled down in the cold weather. Xie Jue watched Xie Jue's back fade away, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Zhixu..." Feng Yu stood up and walked to him, hugging him in her arms, "Don't be afraid, my second brother will not leave you."
Feng Yu knew that there was a best plan for this matter.
Xie Jue revealed his identity and competed with King Sangnan for the throne, and the matter was easily resolved. The Sangnan royal family was in turmoil, and they had no time to send troops. Lin Heli had threatened Xie Jue to expose Xie Jue's life experience.
This matter is settled.
But what if Xie Jue himself reveals his life experience?
After his identity is exposed, can the Ningzhou cavalry still accept Prince Sangnan as their master? Whether the morale of the military will be turbulent is a question Xie Xun has to face.
