Zhang Wenrong shook his head: "You don't know, I come from the Sheng Kingdom. The Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom was a lunatic. He started waging wars since he came to the throne. There was no one in the country to farm, and the land had long been barren. He used war to support war, and wherever he went,
No one survived. He did not allow any objections, and would kill them if they did."
The civil servants were killed to pieces, and the Zhang family was left to support her. But the madman had no intention of letting the Zhang family go, so he first captured her and used medicine to destroy the priest's power.
During the time he was tortured, Zhang Wenrong thought many times that he would not survive.
When Huailin rescued her, some things had reached the point where they could not be mediated. The madman became even crazier and ordered her to be taken into the palace as his concubine.
The Zhang family was silent. Zhang Wenrong remembered that on the day when the imperial edict was read, none of his grandfather, father, elder brother, and younger brother accepted the edict to express gratitude. They seemed not to have heard the official's announcement, and knelt on the ground motionless.
Finally, she received the imperial edict and thanked the Holy Grace.
At that moment, Zhang Wenrong made up his mind.
Use yourself to protect the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, the most obedient brother and Huailin teamed up to drug her and sent her away.
It turns out that when she made up her mind, the Zhang family also made a decision. It would be better to be in pieces than in ruins.
Zhang Wenrong knelt in the imperial study room and confided everything.
She burst into tears: "Please let me go, Your Majesty."
Zhu Qinghong held his chin with his hand and did not respond.
Demons and monsters are everywhere, abandoning farming and relying on war to support war, you are simply seeking your own death.
No matter how strong the army is, it is still composed of individuals. People need food and water to survive.
When there are resources around, fighting to support war can certainly reap the benefits. But what if the resources are exhausted? If the monsters can’t eat them, what will so many people eat?
Eat people or starve to death?
"Not for the time being." Zhu Qinghong stood up, "I want to meet him and see if he has a strong head and six arms."
"Your Majesty." Zhang Wenrong shook his head, "When he sees that your country is full of rice and the people are rich, he will definitely want to plunder. Your Majesty, think twice. Don't bring death to the people because of me. I have already implicated many people, and I must not do it again.
Implicate you."
Zhu Qinghong didn't want to say anything anymore and raised his hand lightly. Wei Wan stepped forward to help Zhang Wenrong and took him down to comfort him.
Not long after, Fang Youan called: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Sheng has requested an interview."
"Bring him here." Zhu Qinghong's lips raised slightly, "He can bring as many people as he wants. I don't take him seriously."
"Yes." After hanging up the call, Fang Youan looked at the sinister man opposite.
Emperor Sheng, Fenghan.
"Your Majesty agrees to see you. Please." Fang Youan stepped aside to get out of the way.
Feng Han laughed and strode forward.
The guards behind followed, but Fang Youan did not stop him. Returning to Tianyang City, they prepared the carriage and continued their journey.
It took seven or eight days of stop and go from Tianyang City to Yingling City to Tianchong City. Along the way, Feng Han's eyes were filled with excitement when he saw the vast green rice fields.
The other party made no secret of it, how could Fang You'an not see it. He was disdainful and didn't know who would hit whom in the end.
On the day of arrival, Zhu Qinghong did not receive him immediately, but waited for two or three days.
Here, they walked around the whole city.
Food, an endless supply of food. Fenghan and the accompanying guards laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
On the day of meeting Feng Han, Zhu Qinghong tried hard to choose something delicious on the menu. However, it must be delicious food if she included it.
Finally, choose a few of the most common receptions. In the small courtyard, Wei Wan, Zhang Wenrong, and Fang Youan accompanied them.
"Please." Zhu Qinghong sat down with a smile, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I chose a few dishes at random."
Feng Han sat down, poured a glass of wine and drank it all. With a devilish smile, he raised his finger at Zhang Wenrong and said, "Come here."
Zhang Wenrong didn't want to go there, let alone cause trouble to others. Just as she was about to take a step forward, Zhu Qinghong said: "Now she is an official of the Yunhong Dynasty. The Emperor of Sheng Kingdom came and left as soon as he called her, is that right?
Do you take me seriously?"
Surprised in his heart, Zhang Wenrong didn't know when he became an official of the Yunhong Dynasty.
Feng Han raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Qinghong: "Zhang Wenrong is my emperor's concubine. If you don't detain her, do you think you want to start a war between the two countries? With your small number of troops, do you have any chance of winning?"
"If I hand over the officials of the DPRK today, wouldn't I be cowardly and incompetent?" Zhu Qinghong poured wine, "So, I won't let him go."
Feng Han's eyes sharpened and he put down his wine glass: "Women are really emotional. Do you know the consequences of not letting go?"
"What are the consequences?" Zhu Qinghong didn't care, "Women are emotional. As the king of a country, what does it mean to go to war for a woman? I tell you clearly that in the Yunhong Dynasty, no one can take her away." "Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need to talk anymore." Feng Han showed a bloodthirsty smile, "You will pay the price for this."
"I'm waiting." Zhu Qinghong raised his hand, "Let's go slowly without seeing them off. Fang You'an, watch them come out."
"Yes." Fang Youan made a gesture of invitation.
Feng Han was so angry that he glanced at Zhu Qinghong, then glanced at Zhang Wenrong and turned around to leave.
Until they could no longer be seen, Zhang Wenrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Wan covered her lips and smiled softly, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Why do we have to start a war?" Zhang Wenrong looked at Zhu Qinghong with complicated eyes, "Can we not fight?"
Zhu Qinghong poured himself a drink calmly: "No. He likes our country's food, and I also like something."
"You are seeking skin from a tiger." Zhang Wenrong tried to persuade him, "He is a lunatic and will not stop fighting. Don't fight hard."
"That's very good." Zhu Qinghong asked Xiaoye to take the food on the table and feed it to the dog. "No need to say more. You are just a trivial excuse. No matter you come back or not, he will start a war with us. Since we have started a war, how can I
It’s not the right thing to do.”
Zhang Wenrong held on to her last glimmer of hope: "No, she wants me. If I go back, maybe I can stop her."
"Don't be stupid, a woman's real interests are not important. He wants you, but you can make him gain huge benefits." Zhu Qinghong stood up and entered the room carrying the wine bottle, "Don't think about what you have. You
You can't stop him, and you can't stop me."
Wei Wan took Zhang Wenrong's arm and said, "Okay, Miss Zhang. It's not our turn to worry about these things. Let's go play."
However, Zhang Wenrong had no thoughts and was always depressed. Wei Wan couldn't help it and let her go.
Don't just run away.
Border.
Fang Youan sent Feng Han and his group out.
Fenghan looked back with ambitious eyes.
"Zhang Wenrong is indeed my emperor's lucky star." He laughed, "I have found such a good country for my emperor."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty." The guards bowed and bowed. Feng Han smiled arrogantly: "God help me."
This appearance caught Fang Youan's eye, and he was sent to the Twelve Guards of the two armies and Zhu Qinghong.
After reading it, everyone looked at a loss of what to say. Confidence is a good thing, arrogance is not advisable.
There are always some people in the world who think that the world revolves around them and have no self-awareness.
Tian Chong City, Imperial Palace.
Zhu Qinghong didn't want to give Feng Han a chance to mobilize his army, and immediately ordered the army to be reorganized.
In this battle, Gao Chen and Ying Cai set out to fight.
Dong Siqing and Dong Sishuang stayed behind. The Twelve Guards led the army and divided into three teams to march towards Sheng Kingdom.
Zhu Qinghong led the team, Su Rui led the right team, and Fang Youan led the left team. The three teams quickly assembled and set off immediately after one day of rest.
Zhang Wenrong heard the news and came over: "Your Majesty, please take me with you. That is my country, and I cannot stay out of it."
"Of course you want to go." Zhu Qinghong patted her on the shoulder, "You are an indispensable key to this battle."
"Is there really no room for redemption?" Zhang Wenrong said unbearably, "When the two countries fight, the people who suffer the most will always be the people."
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "There is a way to fight this battle without losing any blood. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it."
"What method?" Zhang Wenrong asked eagerly.
If we can fight without bloodshed, if we can minimize the damage...
"You are the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family. The Zhang family would rather destroy themselves than have you enter the palace and suffer all the humiliation." Zhu Qinghong looked directly at her, "It proves that the Zhang family cares about you and will listen to you. The Huailin you call is a military attaché.
He can save you, and he has some power."
"Sang Xu, his name is Sang Xu, and his courtesy name is Huailin." Zhang Wenrong said gently, "He is the youngest general of the Sheng Kingdom."
"Look, you are not at the end of the road." Zhu Qinghong curled his lips, "The family is so intertwined that the emperor cannot eliminate it. Sang Xu is armed with force. If you join forces, are you afraid that you will not be able to overthrow the mad emperor? It is you who have repeatedly given in and made him more wanton.
Press tight."
Tyranny has its beneficiaries and naturally its victims. Connect all the victims to form a new force.
Not to mention a 100% win, at least we have a bargaining chip to fight against it. Being soft-hearted and not being able to bear the suffering of the people will only make the situation even more out of control.
This is the saying that kindness does not control soldiers.
Peel off the rotten parts of a big country and bring it under your control, and take over a country riddled with holes.
It is obvious which one is better and which one is worse. A king always knows how to maximize the interests of his country.
Zhu Qinghong took out the tea cup and poured a cup of tea: "Now that things have happened, you should know that if you don't give it a try, you will only be devoured. No matter whether you win or not, you just don't want to sit back and wait for death. I am willing to help you for mutual benefit.
Mutual benefit."
Zhang Wenrong was confused and couldn't make a decision for a moment. She took the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, please let me think about it."
"Before the war begins, you may want to." Zhu Qinghong looked directly at her with calm eyes, "After the war begins, you can't help it."
Zhang Wenrong nodded, took a sip of tea, and retired with deep thoughts. Zhu Qinghong poured tea for himself and shook his head: "Although she cares about the people, she is indecisive. I hope she can grow up after this incident. Otherwise, the Zhang family may be afraid that
It just fell into decline.”
[Master, Shengguo-owned minerals have been detected. The other party is under strict guard, so I finally found something.]
"Isn't he just a state-level priest?" Zhu Qinghong drank the tea in one gulp and said, "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. You are so tired of living."
[The State of Sheng relies on war to support war. In addition to minerals, there should be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. It will fill the national treasury.]
Zhu Qinghong shook his head: "Am I a person who cares about gold, silver and jewels? I just put them there and take them for nothing."
【……】
Ono complained.
【You are so hypocritical.】
"Excuse me." Zhu Qinghong opened the map and designated Tianyang City as a temporary grain depot.
The army's baggage was transported to Tianyang City first, and they only needed to bring a small amount of food with them when they went into battle. The battle would either be a quick one, or they wouldn't need to do anything at all.
