Chapter 456 1 Hesitation Becomes Ancient Hatred
After returning to the palace, Ye Jintang immediately picked up his pen and sent a pigeon letter to Xiao Mo, telling him that there were unusual movements in the Western Rong Kingdom and that he should act quickly to avoid any further complications.
It has to be said that Ye Jintang's mind is really sharp. Everything is just as she expected. At this moment, Zhou Quankun, who is already the prince consort of Xirong, is trying his best to lobby the King of Xirong to send troops to the Tianqin Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Tian Qin is in chaos right now. Some generals don't even know whose orders to follow. If we take this opportunity to attack Tian Qin, we can easily take over the Twelve Cities of Yunxi."
The King of Xirong, who had been in low spirits just now, became alert when he heard about the Twelve Cities of Yunxi.
The King of Xirong had been coveting the Twelve Cities of Yunxi for many years, and no one knew how many battles he had fought for this.
But up to now he has not taken any of the twelve cities of Yunxi, and the King of Xirong feels frustrated just thinking about it.
"What Prince Consort said does make some sense, but it's not that easy to attack the Tian Qin Kingdom."
"There are at least 10 troops stationed in the Twelve Cities of Yunxi. Even if we can break through the city gates, it will be difficult to defend the Twelve Cities of Yunxi."
The Western Rong and Tian Qin have been fighting for a long time. If it weren't for the huge disparity in strength between the two countries, how could the Western Rong see the meat right in front of them and not eat it?
After several years of recuperation, the Xirong can now only mobilize more than 20 cavalry. If there are more, they are likely to run out of food and grass during the war.
"Your Majesty, if it were any other time, we might have to think carefully before we attack the Twelve Cities of Yunxi, but not right now. Just close your eyes and charge ahead."
"The mayors of the twelve cities in Yunxi may not know whose command to follow. I heard that the tiger talismans in the army were lost after Emperor Jing's death. Given Xiao Changming's current situation, he probably can't take care of the twelve cities in Yunxi."
Zhou Quankun carefully analyzed the pros and cons to the King of Xirong. If they missed such a good opportunity now, it would be almost impossible to wait for such an opportunity again in the future.
Zhou Quankun had long understood what kind of person Xiao Changming was. If he was asked to stabilize the situation, he would be a ruthless man. When the Western Rong went to war at that time, he would lead the army in person.
There are only two types of men with the surname Xiao. One is as good at fighting as a wolf, and the other is like a straw bag who can't do anything.
It is obvious that Emperor Jing, Xiao Mo, and Xiao Changming are all wolf-like men who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Zhou Quankun talked, the King of Western Rong did not immediately agree to send troops to the Qin State.
He had failed so many times that he was really scared.
The Western Rong Kingdom has worked hard to accumulate some wealth. If it fails again, the people of Western Rong will not be able to live a good life for at least ten years.
In the end, Zhou Quankun had to return empty-handed.
"What's wrong with you, Prince Consort? I can see that you are unhappy."
Princess Longping felt a little uneasy when she saw Zhou Quankun returning home with a sullen face.
She knew a little bit about Zhou Quankun's plan to lead his troops to attack the Tianqin Kingdom.
"I wanted to ask my father for 10 troops to attack the twelve cities of Yunxi, but he didn't agree to it right away, saying he needed to think about it."
Zhou Quankun, who was in a bad mood, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp. He felt very depressed.
In the final analysis, the King of Xirong did not trust him.
I don't trust that a Tianqin native like him can lead troops to attack Tianqin, and I don't trust that he has the ability to capture the twelve cities of Yunxi in one fell swoop.
"Don't worry. After all, this matter concerns the future development of Xirong State. It is reasonable for father to discuss it with the ministers."
"Lu Ji, I was impatient. I always wanted to achieve great things and to protect you from gossip in Xirong."
Zhou Quankun looked a little gloomy. It was not easy to be the consort of Princess Longping.
If it weren't for his good kung fu, he would have been drowned by the saliva of the Western Rong people.
"I understand. Brother Kun, I will find a way to convince my father to let you lead the troops to the battle. As long as you can capture the twelve cities of Yunxi, no one will dare to point fingers at you."
Lu Ji walked forward very gently and hugged Zhou Quankun lightly. She really loved him and wanted to give him all her best.
"Thank you for being so understanding, Lucy."
Zhou Quankun is also a powerful man. He has Lu Ji under his control.
That afternoon, Lu Ji found an excuse to go to the palace and tried to persuade the King of Xirong, but the King of Xirong refused to give in, so the matter had to be delayed.
In Zhou Quankun's study, he was so angry that he broke a brush in his hand.
He wanted to lead his troops to fight, but the King of Western Rong asked him to copy a military book, saying that he wanted the priest to take the military book to ask the gods in heaven whether they agreed that Western Rong should send troops to Qin.
"By the time I finish copying the military manual, the flowers will be cold."
Angrily, Zhou Quankun threw the brush in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Brother Kun, why are you getting angry? The Tian Qin Kingdom is in chaos. Even if Xiao Changming is capable, I'm afraid he won't be able to control the military power for a while."
"Besides, there is another person named Xiao Mo. I heard that he brought 20 troops to Luojiu City and has been fighting with General Ding's troops for several months, but there has been no clear winner."
"It might be better for us to just keep fighting like this."
Yao Zhen picked up the broken brush from the ground and gently placed it on the table, continuing to comfort Zhou Quankun.
"Brother Kun, we have survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, the Qin Kingdom will change its surname to Zhou."
"Jane, you still understand me."
Zhou Quankun smiled and held Yao Zhen in his arms, with his hands on her waist.
"I don't know if Xiao Mo's so-called 20-man army is true or not, but if he said there were 10 refugees, it's somewhat believable."
"I hope Xiao Mo can live longer. By the time we raise our army and take over the twelve cities of Yunxi, he will have already died."
Yao Zhen's heart was filled with hatred. She wanted to make anyone who had hurt her suffer the pain of being cut into pieces.
Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang need not be mentioned, there is also Ye Yanran in the capital, the lingering Empress Dowager Deren, and Cui Lanwei who has long disappeared.
If it weren't for Cui Lanwei, she wouldn't have ended up fleeing.
These people were like thorns in her heart, and she had to grind them to dust to ash to vent her anger.
"Don't worry, Zhen'er. Even if the King of Xirong doesn't give us troops to attack the Twelve Cities of Yunxi, I can still take you back to the capital of Tianqin quietly and turn all those who have harmed us into ashes."
Zhou Quankun also had hatred in his heart. The Zhou family was wiped out because of his hatred. Now he wanted to use the same method to deal with his enemies.
With hatred in his heart, he bit Yao Zhen's slender neck hard, and his dishonest hands tore her clothes frantically.
"Brother Kun, don't do that. This is the study room. If the princess finds out in broad daylight, we will be in trouble."
Yao Zhen still had her rationality, she held Zhou Quankun's hand tightly to prevent him from causing any trouble.
"I have already instructed that the princess is not allowed to come to my study. I want to concentrate on copying military books."
