When the soldiers in southern Xinjiang heard what the prince said, they were angry and angry, and they didn't know what to do. But no matter what they did, there were still people above them who could ask for instructions. If they couldn't handle the matter themselves, they could just push it to the top. Who should Nan Jinzhao push to?
?
When he received the news from his subordinates, his whole body felt bad.
Xiao Jiuan, what does this mean?
Did Xiao Jiuan regard Nan Jinzhao as the king of Southern Xinjiang? He actually ordered him to go to the border to meet him like a younger brother. Should he go at this time? Or should he go?
It's impossible not to go there. He has dealt with Xiao Jiu'an for so many years, and he knows Xiao Jiu'an's character very well. When he said that he would send troops to southern Xinjiang without seeing anyone, he was definitely not just talking about it. What Xiao Jiu'an said was absolutely true.
It's not a threatening word, he will do it when he says it, so...
For so many years, the emperors of Nanjiang, Beichen and Tianqi have all been threatened by Xiao Jiuan, fearing that this desperate man would drag them all into trouble.
Xiao Jiuan is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid that no one will be stationed in Yanbei after his death, but they are afraid. They are not willing to risk their lives and wealth to play with Xiao Jiuan.
"Wang, how should we respond to the news about King Yanbei?" Seeing that Nan Jinzhao didn't respond for a long time after receiving the news, the people below hesitated for a long time before speaking.
Time was urgent and they could not allow them to think too much. If they arrived late, Yanbei's troops would come in and they would be in trouble.
The ministers of Southern Xinjiang, like Nan Jinzhao, never thought that Xiao Jiuan was just talking. They knew that Xiao Jiuan meant what he said.
"What do you think about this matter?" Nan Jinzhao naturally wants to go, but this cannot be said by him as a king. It would be too embarrassing for him to say it, and there is no way out.
"This matter... the king of Yanbei asked for an urgent meeting. It must be something urgent. If the king is willing, it is better to go and see him." Nanjiang and Yanbei have been fighting for many years. In the past few years, they have always won more and lost less. Every time
They can all grab a lot of good things from Yanbei, but...
There has been no opposite at all in the past few years. Southern Xinjiang has been suppressed by Yanbei. The people in Southern Xinjiang are very aware of Xiao Jiuan's power. They don't want to fight the current Yanbei army at all.
"Lord Liu is right. For King Yanbei to ask for an audience so eagerly and say such words, there must be something extremely important. It would be better for the king to take the time to meet him."
…
The ministers in southern Xinjiang rarely spoke with one voice, and they all persuaded Nan Jinzhao to go to the north to meet Xiao Jiu'an. None of the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty objected, and some military generals even urged Nan Jinzhao to leave quickly to avoid being unable to arrive before dawn.
Nan Jinzhao had known for a long time that things would be like this, but he really didn't expect that his ministers would be so afraid of Xiao Jiu'an, and no one stood up to oppose it.
Don't these ministers know that no matter how beautiful they say, they can't change the fact that Xiao Jiu'an wants him to see him immediately?
"Did you hear wrongly? King Yanbei is not asking for an audience!" Nan Jinzhao didn't want to say this at first, but when he saw that the ministers in the court were no longer interested, he suddenly became angry.
Are these people afraid of being beaten by Xiao Jiuan and Yan Beijun?
So much so that if Xiao Jiu'an just said that he would send troops to southern Xinjiang if he didn't come, could these people lose their dignity and pride?
Have they forgotten the bloody feud between Southern Xinjiang and Yanbei?
When the ministers of Southern Xinjiang heard Nan Jinzhao's words, they said without hesitation: "King, the green hills left behind are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. The King of Yanbei is brave and good at fighting, but he is still a human being, and he will die. We don't have it."
He needs to be more serious. We have been here in southern Xinjiang for generations, and we can wait until we die."
As soon as this statement came out, many ministers immediately echoed: "Wang, Mr. An is right, Yanbei is made of iron, and the king of Yanbei is flowing water. Yanbei is still the good Yanbei, but Yanbei has hundreds of people."
How many princes have changed in the year, and the prince of Yanbei
Not everyone is like this one now. We have endured so many years in southern Xinjiang, are we still short of these few decades? The King of Yanbei is powerful, so we will lie dormant, prepare secretly, and accumulate strength until we can survive this one to death.
King Yanbei, let’s take action again.”
"King, the reason why we in Southern Xinjiang have been passed on and have not been exterminated is because we know how to assess the situation. We have to be tough when we should be tough, but when we shouldn't be tough, if we are blindly tough, that is what the people of the Supreme Clan have no regard for.
Please think twice, think about our people, and go to the border immediately to meet with King Yanbei."
"Please think again, Wang, we cannot afford a battle with Yanbei's army now."
"Please, king, think again!"
…
The ministers of Southern Xinjiang knelt down one after another and asked Nan Jinzhao to rush to the border immediately to see the prince, lest the prince really send troops to southern Xinjiang in anger.
Looking at the minister who was kneeling on the floor and putting "the overall situation first", Nan Jinzhao couldn't tell whether he was angry or sad.
What these ministers said is correct. Southern Xinjiang has also relied on this principle in recent years to survive under the aggressive pressure of the Yanbei Army, but...
Precisely because the people of Southern Xinjiang are cautious and always put the overall situation first, they have never been able to get out of Southern Xinjiang. They have been trapped here for generations, guarding this increasingly barren land and facing difficulties.
Survive.
Nan Jinzhao really wanted to change the status quo, but this was not the time to talk about this. Nan Jinzhao let out a long sigh and followed the words of the ministers: "You... are right, King Yanbei can do whatever he wants.
But I can't follow him around. Come here, prepare your horses, I'll go to the border to see King Yanbei."
He is also the king of the same place. Compared with Xiao Jiu'an, he has greater power, more troops and horses, and even has the advantage of terrain. But why can Xiao Jiu'an do whatever he wants, but he can't?
God knows, he also wants to mess around, go along with things, and do things according to his own wishes, but he can't!
"Your Majesty, you are wise." When the ministers in Southern Xinjiang received the prince's reply, they were all very excited, but Nan Jinzhao was not happy at all.
As a king, he gathered all the rights in southern Xinjiang, but in the end he still had to "squeeze for compromise", which was really meaningless.
Nan Jinzhao, full of negative emotions, worked hard all the way and rushed to the border before dawn.
A night of running around made Nan Jinzhao look extremely tired, but a night of running around had almost eliminated all the negative emotions in him.
After a brief tidying up, Nan Jinzhao appeared at the border looking fresh and fresh, and asked the soldiers to tell Xiao Jiuan to come out.
After all, he is also the king of Southern Xinjiang. Although he was threatened by Nan Jinzhao and had to come to the border to see him, he still had to act like the king of Southern Xinjiang. At least now he couldn't take the initiative to go out of the city and see Xiao Jiuan.
It was Xiao Jiuan who came to the city to meet him.
The prince stayed up all night in the camp. When he heard the news that Nan Jinzhao had arrived, the prince didn't even wait for the soldiers to say anything. He went out directly and rode into the city only to see Nan Jinzhao. He didn't care at all about the problem of losing face.
.
Compared with Ji Yunkai's safety, what is face?
Moreover, Nan Jinzhao doesn't know that true strength is never formal strength, real strength comes from the heart, just like the prince... (To be continued)
