Hidden Blade Chapter 65: Internal and external troubles
In the Changle Palace of Jinling City.
Chen Guo's civil and military officials gathered here.
Daxia Guozhu Cui Ting assembled a whole 300,000 army to march towards Changwu Pass, and I am afraid that he will be able to reach Changwu Pass within half a month.
After all, Chen Guo is narrow and sparsely populated. For Chen Guo, this 300,000 army is likely to be a disaster for the country.
The palace urgently summoned key officials from all parties and began to discuss matters against Cui Ting’s army,
For three full days, the civil and military officials, the princes and generals were struggling to quarrel in this Changle Palace, but they still couldn't work out a perfect strategy to fight against Cui Ting's 300,000 army.
It's not that Chen's courtiers are incompetent. It's just that this clever woman can't afford to cook without rice. The battle to seize the protagonist has consumed too much Chen's power. Now, looking at the country, there are only two people who can resist the 300,000 army.
Munke, who was awarded the title of King of Qin with meritorious deeds, and Chen Ping, the king of Fengxing, who guarded the southern border with 100,000 soldiers.
Chen Ping had the intention to lead the troops northward and westward, but there were many voices of opposition from the court, saying that the matter was of great importance, and Munch guarded the western border for many years and had rarely failed. It is safest for him to go. But Munch said at this point that he was not ill, and Chen Xuanji ordered him to enter the palace several times but was rejected.
Whether Munch is really sick or fake, the discerning person naturally has his own judgment, but Cui Ting at the border will not wait for Chen Guo to make a decision before starting the offensive. Chen Xuanji, who had been on the high platform after listening to the quarrel for three days, finally stood up with a gloomy expression.
"Since King Qin's condition is so serious, I can't force it. The battle at Changwu Pass cannot be delayed, so let Fengxing King lead his troops!"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Ping would kneel down, just about to receive his thanks.
At the moment, several courtiers also knelt down at that time, and looked at Chen Xuanji earnestly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Cui Ting holds 300,000 elites. Although King Fengxing has led soldiers in the southern border for many years, Zhou Chen has been repaired for decades, and there have been few wars. The ministers feared that King Fengxing would be difficult to fight for a while. Therefore, it is safest for His Royal Highness Qin to go for this matter!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, Cui Ting is cunning and changeable, but King Qin cannot be the enemy!"
"It's about society, please think twice!"
The voices of those people echoed back and forth, and they looked a bit loyal to the country, but they didn't notice that Chen Xuanji's expression on the high platform was ugly.
"Do you Aiqing mean that I am going to invite him on my knees?" Chen Xuanji glanced gloomily across the people present, and Ling Li's sword intent broke out of his body at the same time, and everyone was there. When he felt this, his complexion suddenly changed, one after another put away his voice and lowered his head.
"I have decided on this matter, so you don't need to say any more, please step back." Chen Xuanji said again.
After saying this, Chen Xuanji sat back on the dragon chair behind him, and the people of the whole dynasty looked at me and I looked at you at that time, but after a long time, they still had to retreat one after another.
Looking at the retreating hundred officials, Chen Xuanji suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He said to the people: "King Fengxing, please stay."
The middle-aged man who retreated with his hands heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in place, bowed his head respectfully and knelt down, waiting for Chen Xuanji's call.
When the Baiguan retreats, Chen Xuanji winked at the surrounding courtiers, and those courtiers also retreated at that time. In a blink of an eye, only Chen Xuanji and Chen Xuanji were left in the gate of Noda's palace. Chen Ping two people.
At that time, Chen Xuanji walked off the high platform, and quickly came to Chen Ping's, and stretched out his hand to support the 40-year-old royal clan.
"Uncle is sure of this trip?" Chen Xuanji asked softly.
Standing up, Chen Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head. Instead, he asked: "Your Majesty Qin King Munch, how about it?"
Chen Xuanji was taken aback, but still responded truthfully: "He is a warrior capable of fighting."
"Yes. It's as strong as Munch, but still claims to avoid illness. Your Majesty thinks I have a chance of winning?" Chen Ping said, but there was a slight smile on his face.
"Uncle meant that Munch avoided the fight because he knew he was not Cui Ting's opponent?" Chen Xuanji frowned.
"Naturally not." Chen Ping shook his head. "Although Munch is unpredictable, he is a smart man. If he really knew that he was not Cui Ting's opponent, then he has already begun to actively deploy all parties and me. Soldiers in one place..."
"That uncle meant..."
"I think in Munch's eyes, that imposing Cui Guozhu, the 300,000 army in his hand will definitely not be the opponent of his 100,000 tiger and wolf riders." Chen Ping said so, his face was also at that time. It became gloomy and cold.
"If this is the case, why did Munch avoid the war? Give up the great credit for this day, but I don't really miss the style of my uncle."
"Your Majesty." Chen Ping's eyes suddenly flashed cold, "In Munch's view, Cui Ting may not be his opponent, but it is enough to destroy the 100,000 army in my hand."
"Furthermore, Lord Qin is a king with one word, ten thousand hectares of land, 100,000 households, dressed in nine tins, to his level, what is the meaning of no matter how great the credit is to him?"
"Huh?"
Chen Xuanji suddenly shook his body when he heard this, his brow furrowed as if he was trying to understand something.
"Uncle means..."
"As long as I die, Chen's military affairs will be held in his own hands... Your Majesty must be careful." Chen Ping arched his hands and said.
"If that's the case, why should uncle go there?" Chen Xuanji asked in a puzzled way.
"If I don't go, Munch will never make a move. Your Majesty can't tell, this Prince Qin is already waiting impatiently." Chen Ping sneered.
"But your Majesty, don't worry~IndoMTL.com~Although Cui Ting has a strong horse and a strong horse, but the ministers are not the ones who will be caught in their hands. The battlefield is never determined by the strength or weakness, so this battle, the minister is not without chance." Chen Ping saw the intolerance between Chen Xuanji's eyebrows at this moment, and he said again, his expression was pretentiously relaxed, but soon he thought of something, and said truthfully: "But if the minister died in battle, unfortunately, Your Majesty has to face the Lord Qin who holds the lifeline of the court in one hand. Your Majesty must prepare early."
Chen Xuanji hesitated slightly, the admonition in his mouth had already reached his lips, but when he met Chen Ping's determined gaze, he had to swallow it again. He probably read how resolute the King Chen's determination to defend the territory was at this time, and this determination was not only aimed at foreign aggressions, but also directed at internal enemies.
Chen Xuanji finally nodded at that time, bowed his hand respectfully to Chen Ping, and said: "Then my uncle will work hard to defend my Chen family against foreign enemies."
Chen Ping replied: "His Majesty Lao will pacify the thief for my Chen family."
After the two said, the old and the young smiled suddenly at that time, and then turned around one after another, one went outside the palace, led troops westward, and the other rushed to the palace to write secret edicts.
Between life and death, black and white, a clear line is cut between the two.
