It is reasonable for General Feng Lao to be imprisoned. Not to mention General Feng Lao himself, even Qin Jiyan thought of this possibility when he borrowed troops.
After Qin Jiyan borrowed troops, he asked General Feng to go into the palace the day after he left and report to the emperor that he had forced General Feng to mobilize troops privately, and put all the fault on him.
The matter had reached this point, and Qin Jiyan didn't care about breaking up with the old emperor. What Qin Jiyan didn't expect was that General Feng not only failed to report the matter the next day, but also carried the big army alone after the incident.
part of the responsibility.
When Qin Jiyan received the news, his eyes were slightly astringent, and he silently clenched the paper in his hand...
Qin Jiyan knew very well how much the old emperor valued military power, and how wary he was of mobilizing troops without permission. General Feng's move was too risky. Fortunately, Lord Feng and Lord Jiao joined forces to protect him this time, otherwise he would have been killed by the old emperor.
The emperor slaughtered them on the spot with ease.
"Why is the old general like this? I am not that kind of person..." Qin Jiyan let go of his hand and sighed secretly.
He can understand General Feng's choice and why General Feng takes risks.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a powerful minister or a lonely minister, and most of them do not end well. General Feng is a powerful minister with a large number of troops, but he is also a lonely minister. Once he arouses the suspicion of the emperor, he will never end well.
And this time he privately asked General Feng to send troops, and General Feng agreed. As an emperor, he must have thought, what if another prince asks General Feng to send troops next time, and General Feng agrees?
Qin Jiyan admitted that he had also thought about this possibility. What if one day, he sat on the throne, his cousins had good relations with the Feng family, and found General Feng to lend 100,000 troops to surround the capital?
This possibility is not impossible, after all, no one can guarantee the future.
And now...this may be gone!
I have to say that although General Feng's move was very risky, it was an excellent move. By handing over the military power in this way, the Feng family will be able to control the military power in the future. And for the sake of General Feng,
After the general sacrificed so much, he, the prince, would never treat Feng Yuqian badly, let alone Feng Yao, after he ascended the throne.
Sighing softly, Qin Jiyan lit the paper in his hand and watched it slowly burn. Qin Jiyan didn't move or speak. He just looked at it until only a corner was left.
Throw it away.
"It's okay to hand over the military power of the Feng family." Qin Jiyan tapped on the table, his eyes flashed, but he quickly closed them again.
He leaned back slightly to avoid the illumination of the candlelight, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and there seemed to be a murderous aura spreading around him centered on him.
A knock on the door sounded. Qin Jiyan opened his eyes, his eyes filled with light, "Come in!"
"Your Highness...Northwestern Battle Report." The secret guard came in, presented a box and quickly left.
Qin Jiyan took the box, fiddled with it a few times and opened it. But before he could take out the contents, he heard the sound of a canoe breaking through the water outside.
"Pah..." Qin Jiyan quickly locked the box again and stuffed it into his arms, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, we have been discovered. Hundreds of wooden boats are rowing towards us." The secret guard broke through the door directly and said solemnly.
"It came so fast." Qin Jiyan was not surprised when he heard this.
Jiangnan is under Jing Yan's control. Sooner or later, Jing Yan will be able to find out their whereabouts. It is not easy to delay them for seven or eight days.
Turning around, he glanced at the situation in the study. After confirming that there was no problem, Qin Jiyan strode out...
Outside, countless torches lit up on the dark river, like stars, meandering along the river, getting closer to them bit by bit...
"Your Highness, within a quarter of an hour at most, the enemy will be able to surround us." The secret guard was extremely fast and had already put down his boat to find out the enemy's situation.
"Let's start the boat now. How long will it take for the other party to catch up with us?" Although Qin Jiyan's boat is parked on the river, they are very familiar with the river channels in this area and can ensure normal navigation even in the dark.
"In half an hour, this place is very close to the shore. If we get to the shore, we can get ashore within a quarter of an hour." When the secret guard introduced the situation, the sailors on the ship were already making preparations. They only waited for Qin Jiyan's order.
Carry out his orders.
"No need to dock, just rush over." Half an hour and a quarter of an hour are too long. If they go there, they will most likely encounter an ambush, because if it were him, he would do the same thing.
"Crash, crash?" The secret guard was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
Did they hear it wrong, or did His Highness say it wrong?
Qin Jiyan glanced coldly and repeated: "Yes, crash into it." He crashed all the way, there might be a way out, if he really fell into Jing Yan's ambush, there would probably be only a few people in their boat.
Can kill it.
"..." The secret guard opened his mouth, wanting to tell Qin Jiyan that even if there was an ambush on the shore, they would definitely be able to fight a bloody path for Qin Jiyan if they joined forces, but they were accustomed to following orders and could not learn to persuade, so they could only remain silent.
to accept orders.
The sailors on the ship were all well-trained sailors. Although they were puzzled by Qin Jiyan's order, they still carried it out.
The big ship turned around and headed towards the small boat sent by Jing Yan. Soon the two sides discovered each other. Seeing this, the sailors on the small boat shouted excitedly: "Quick, look... The fools on the boat were so scared that they couldn't choose their way out."
, to actually hit him head-on, he is simply looking for death."
"Hahaha... If someone comes to our door, we won't be polite. Everyone, be careful and spread out to both sides immediately. Don't let the other party have a chance to bump into us."
"Yongzi Army, you attack from both sides. Youzi Army, you sneak to the rear to outflank me. The others follow me and charge forward."
The one sent by Jing Yan was the Jiangnan navy, which was usually well-trained. When he saw Qin Jiyan's big ship colliding head-on, he immediately understood Qin Jiyan's motive and ordered the boats to be dispersed to prevent Qin Jiyan from knocking them over.
opportunity.
Following the command from the Navy Commander, the small canoes on the river spread out from both sides like Moses dividing the sea. One to the left and one to the right, the densely packed torches became sparse, like stars dotting the Milky Way sky.
The picture is extremely beautiful, but no one appreciates it at this time...
"Your Highness, the enemy has dispersed." The navy on the ship discovered the situation and immediately reported back.
"Ignore them, just rush over." What Qin Jiyan wants to do is not to destroy the opponent, but to tear through a defensive line and leave here safely...
"clear!"
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when they saw that they were about to collide, the big ship suddenly picked up speed, like a tiger descending the mountain, and headed forward at a very fast speed...
"call……"
The sound of water breaking came, and the big ship instantly passed through the small boats on both sides, and hit the oncoming small boat...
