After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 498

Xia Houzhuo poured Xi Wei a cup of tea.

"Since Mr. Xi, you have fallen in love with the third prince, of course I will embrace him as emperor!"

"It's just... that Concubine Li,"

Xi Wei waved his hand: "Planting flowers is for appreciation."

"Planting is for harvesting."

"It's like a general, you lead troops to fight, to expand the territory!"

"No one will do something without a purpose, and so is Concubine Li!"

"The third prince is enthroned as emperor, and she is Ningguo's empress dowager... do you think she will refuse like Li Chen'an when it comes at her fingertips?"

Xia Houzhuo didn't know, but if he put himself in his shoes, at least he couldn't refuse.

That authority is more attractive than the most beautiful flower in the world.

Roughly, only a fool like Li Chenan would choose to take back the eldest son of the emperor.

"But the eldest son of the emperor is not dead, I am afraid that even if the third prince ascends the throne, there will be many troubles in the future."

Xi Wei nodded, "So after this battle is over, General Xiahou should lead his troops into Shu!"

"Enter Shu?"

"Yes, the eldest son of the emperor is in Shuzhou!"

"If General Xiahou captures or beheads the eldest son of the emperor, how will the third prince and Concubine Li appreciate you?"

"It is inevitable to be appointed as the Marquis and General!"

"General Xiahou became the general of Ningguo, holding the military power of the whole country... At that time, you only had a chance if you wanted to avenge Empress Lu!"

Xia Houzhuo's eyes lit up: "Mr. Xi, does he know where the eldest son of the emperor is hiding?"

Xi Wei shook his head, "Fan Taohua should know."

"But Fan Taohua is already dead."

"Because she is already dead, she will definitely deploy the soldiers of Shuzhou to the place where the eldest son of the emperor is!"

"The old man even speculates that the purpose of her working in Shuzhou for so many years is to protect the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Her soldiers are trained for the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Then in the land of Shuzhou, especially in a remote place, the more Tibetan soldiers, the closer you are to the eldest son of the emperor!"

"General Xiahou should send scouts to Shu Prefecture now, to find out first!"

Xiahou Zhuo pondered for a moment, and did not reject Xi Wei's suggestion, but he brought the topic back:

"Tomorrow, our army will reach Wufanyuan. What our army is facing is not the 1000 people from Li Chen'an, but also the [-] soldiers from Jiangnan Road..."

"The commander-in-chief of these [-] soldiers is Xie Jing, who was once under the command of General Wu Mian!"

"Wu Mian led the Red Flame Army during the capital change... Mr. Xi, you seem to have a great influence on the Red Flame Army...Wu Mian, is it someone who takes orders from you?"

Xi Wei did not deny it.

He nodded.

Xia Houzhuo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wu Mian is a servant waiting for Lu Zhanxiao in the car... You are old, but you are an enemy of the Marquis Mansion in the car!"

"Wu Mian is loyal to Lu Zhanxiao, if it is said that he betrayed Lu Zhanxiao... I really can't believe it!"

Xi Wei laughed.

"On the third day of October in the third year of Zhaohua, where were you at that time?"

"I'm in Nine Yin City!"

"If the old man said that Shangchehou's mansion was destroyed, it was not the old man's fault at all, would you believe it?"

Xiahou Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, because that matter was too big!
Even though he was in Jiuyin City on the border, he had heard the details of that incident.

They all said it was Xi Wei's work!
At this moment, he denied this statement...

Of course, Xi Wei saw the doubts on Xia Houzhuo's face, "Tell me, what good will it do me if the old man's plan is destroyed and the car waits for the house to be full?"

Xia Houzhuo was taken aback again, "Isn't it just to weaken Ningguo's force?"

"Isn't it just to pave the way for you to overthrow Ningguo?"

Xi Wei shook his head and smiled:
"you are wrong!"

"The Shangchehou's Mansion was destroyed, which led to the rise of the Dingguohou's Mansion!"

"The Red Flame Army is still there, and there is another powerful Shenwu Army... How did Ningguo's force weaken?"

"Furthermore, the Yong Kingdom has been destroyed for so many years. At the beginning, the old man really had the heart to avenge the Yong Country, but after so many years, the old man's thoughts gradually faded away."

Xiahou Zhuo choked and was speechless, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Then what happened to the waiting house?"

Xi Wei smiled suddenly and did not answer Xia Houzhuo's question.

"Let the past be the past. The most important thing for a person to live is to face the future."

He stood up, "Xie Jing, you can trust me!"

"Your [-] frontier troops can join forces with Xie Jing's [-] soldiers."

"[-] troops!"

"Xie Jing will follow your orders, no matter what arrangements Li Chenan makes, it will not help."

"Many times, the so-called tricks are not worth mentioning in the face of strong strength!"

"Xie Jing will come to see you. You can discuss tomorrow's battle, but you must keep in mind that you must never send troops south!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Zhuo asked, "Why can't you go south with an army of [-]?"

"Because you will provoke the Shenwu Army back!"

"In Yujing City, Kyoto, there is a Wenzhuyu!"

"The walls of Yujing City are very thick!"

"The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities in Yujing City...is no worse than your [-] frontier army!"

Xiahou Zhuo also stood up, "Then what do you mean...?"

"After this battle is over, go to Shuzhou!"

"What if we fail to kill Li Chen'an?"

"Also go to Shuzhou!"

"Just for the eldest son of the emperor?"

"Not only for the eldest son of the emperor, but also for the long-term plan!"

"The land of Shuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you take Shuzhou, you can advance, attack, retreat and defend!"

"That's all the old man said, as for how you choose... Feel free!"

"Farewell!"

"Where is Mr. Xi going?"

"To meet an old friend."

Xi Wei stepped out of the handsome tent and walked into the starry night.

It's on a temporary watchtower outside this handsome tent.

Thirty crossbowmen aimed at Xi Wei's back.

Xia Houzhuo was standing in front of the handsome tent, and he didn't give the order to shoot arrows until Xi Wei completely disappeared into the night.

Because he couldn't judge the truth of Xi Wei's words.

But one thing is true-

The land of Shuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Shuzhou is captured...you will not be afraid of any changes in Ningguo!
Then in the battle at Wufanyuan tomorrow, will Xie Jing really come to join him as Xi Wei said?

He didn't have to wait long for the guard's return.

Xie Jing, it's really here!
Xi Wei, this old thing, does have something!
That night, the lights in Xiahou Zhuoshuai's tent were lit until dawn.

……

……

This night, in the Yuelai Inn, the largest inn in Yujing City, Kyoto, there was also a light that was lit until dawn.

Prince Wu made the fourth pot of tea tonight.

He looked up at Yu Dingzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly smiled:
"Why are you angry?"

Yu Dingzhi's face was full of anger: "I have to be angry!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed outward: "I went to Honglu Temple today, but they didn't allow me to meet Wen Zhuyu!"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Wen is not free!"

"I think back in our Dongxu City, Wen Zhuyu, a bitch, ran to Chen's house to eat and drink for three full days!"

"I thought that there was some affection after all, and I wanted to ask him clearly... Is it because Li Chen'an overshadowed the sky and didn't give him power!"

"I thought he had been wronged, and thought that if he failed in Ning, he would be able to show his ambitions in Wu... But your highness, guess what Li Wenyuan told me!"

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

"Li Wenyuan said, Mr. Wen made a message, we didn't go to the scheduled negotiation time yesterday... We will talk about it later... Just wait!"

"He said, this is not what the regent wanted, but Lord Wen's idea!"

"This dog!"

Yun Shuxian on the side also laughed at the moment.

"Master Yu, don't worry, this is exactly Wen Zhuyu's usual method."

"Isn't it just to annoy us?"

"What are we in a hurry for? It's just spending more money."

"I have not received the news that Xiahou Zhuo has led his troops to Feng County... It is unknown whether the regent can leave Feng County alive. From the old man's point of view, he probably won't be able to get out alive."

"What are we in a hurry for?"

"Wait for the news of the Battle of Feng County to come back. The regent is dead, and Wen Zhuyu will come begging us to talk!"

"Tomorrow, let's go to the Imperial Academy and meet Hua Manting."

"This old guy is a very thoughtful person."
