Prime Minister take care

Chapter 122: Promote merit and eliminate violence
Pingling.

Thirty thousand Chu troops looked at the riverside walled city from a distance, but they didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

On Black Tiger Mountain, the battle had just ended. The nearly [-] elite Chu troops watched the Shu troops holding Cai Tong away, but they still did not dare to make any move.Finally, they gathered with Wen Qing's army under Pingling City and formed one force.

At this moment, the Chu army was unable to advance or retreat. No one knew what Yang Xian wanted to do?Cai Yun, who was dispatching logistics in Wuning County, was shocked when he heard the news and ran over.

Compared with Cai Tong, Cai Yun is not older.Cai Tong's first few sons all died in the war during the troubled times. At this time, only the eldest son and a toddler were left.

Cai Yun is in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes, and looks elegant.However, it didn't match his calm appearance, and Cai Yun was extremely anxious.

Only Cai Tong can take charge of the overall situation of Chu State.If Yang Xian is really not afraid of breaking his face, then the Chu Kingdom will be in chaos in an instant.Although Cai Yun is Cai Tong's heir, if something unexpected happens to Cai Tong, he is not sure enough to survive the power transition period, let alone face Liang Jun from the north.

There was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and General Wen Qing came on horseback.

Cai Yun quickly stepped down and held the hands of Wen Qing who had just dismounted.

"General Wen, how is your father?"

Wen Qing had just arrived from Pingling and was still out of breath.Wen Qing was also very anxious and refused to give in at all compared to Cai Yun.However, compared to Cai Yun, who has no master, Wen Qing's demeanor is much more calm.

"Don't worry, young master. My lord said that he is a guest in the Shu army. Except for my lord's personal guards, all the soldiers and horses have returned to Ying City."

"A guest?"

Wen Qing was Cai Tong's confidant, so Cai Yun naturally believed what he said.But if you are talking about being a guest, it proves that the two parties have not broken up yet.Even regarding the battle at Black Tiger Mountain, Cai Tong wanted to expose it gently.

After all, being captured by others on your own territory is not a very honorable thing.Cai Tong wanted to handle this matter in a low-key manner, but he was in Pingling at the moment, and Cai Yun's operation was also indispensable.

"Did father say when he would be back?"

This is what Cai Yun wants to know most at this time. As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Cai Tong still needs to handle all the big and small matters in the Chu Kingdom.

Although Cai Yun is the crown prince, his methods are a bit lacking if he wants to take charge of the country.

"That depends on what Yang Xian means."

Wen Qing said helplessly.No matter how nice the words are on the surface, no matter whether the thirty thousand Chu troops can keep silent, the fact that the dignified Chu Hou was captured among the ten thousand troops will definitely still spread.

Wen Qing glanced at the sky, and it started to rain gloomily.Looking at the main city of Pingling surrounded by smoke and water from a distance, Wen Qing felt heavy in his heart and sighed quietly.

I hope Yang Xian will not be an enemy of Chu!

A small building by the river.

The rain pattered gently on the eaves.The Zhuzhong stove is burning with red fireworks. It is really a pleasant thing to take a sip of tea and watch the distant river scenery.

The room was quiet, Cai Tong knelt down beside the stove and put down the teacup in his hand.

"The Chu army has received my order and has returned one after another now. What else does the prime minister want?"

Although Cai Tong was calm on the outside, he was uneasy inside.He didn't know how long Yang Xian wanted to detain him?But it won't be too long.

This is a very simple truth. If Chu's internal affairs are unstable, it will only give Huan Wu an advantage.Cai Tong didn't want to see this, and Yang Xian was even more reluctant.

"If the Marquis of Chu agrees to three things, then he can leave."

Yang Xian stood in front of the window, looking at the endless river in the distance, and said slowly.

The river is rushing and the rain is falling rapidly, but there are still tired birds on the river that have not returned to their nests, walking through the wind and rain, anxious to return home.There is no one here, and Yang Xian is not polite.Cai Tong was already prepared and asked: "Please tell me."

"Fan Qing's old army of 3 to [-] people is planning to move them to Xiyong County. I hope the Marquis of Chu can provide convenience."

Xiyong County borders the border of Chu State, and to the west is Zhounan County of Shu State.However, although Xiyong County is in Shu, if you go from Shu, you have to go around a big circle. The two to thirty thousand people supporting the elderly and the young may not be able to reach it in a year and a half.But if you go to Chudi, it will be a lot faster. It will only take a few months.

Unlike Zhounan County, which has vast and fertile land, the terrain of Xiyong County is very similar to that of Pingling, with rivers flowing through it and dangerous mountains.Although it has a county name, there are only three larger county towns within its territory. Thirty years ago, the world was in chaos. Many people in Xiyong County fled, and now there are even fewer people there.

The most important thing is that Xiyong County is located at the junction of Liang, Chu and Shu, and the situation is complicated.Even when Huan Wu attacked Shu, he never thought of attacking from Xiyong County.To a certain extent, Liang Jun's situation in Xiyong County was the same as Cai Tong's.

"can!"

Cai Tong was extremely surprised, but his face didn't show anything and he only said two words lightly.After that, he picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.

"All food and supplies can be provided by our Chu army."

Yang Xian smiled and continued.

"The second thing is that I want the Marquis to pardon the Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou."

"can!"

In the past few days, there have been strange movements among Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou.Cai Tong has been guessing what they want to do, and now it seems that it is related to Yang Xian.

"What's the third thing?"

For some reason, Cai Tong always felt that this third thing would not be that simple.

"I want the Marquis to place the hundreds of miles of water near Dankou under the jurisdiction of Xiyong County."

At this moment, Cai Tong felt a sudden enlightenment, and he finally understood Yang Xian's intention.

"It seems that the Prime Minister is also interested in getting involved in this mess in Wandi!"

Cai Tong did not agree immediately, or he had underestimated Yang Xian's ambition, but at this moment, he was too frightened to deal with it.Nanyang County was originally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and was very wealthy.But because of Liang Jun's attack, it became very chaotic.

The forces of the Liang and Chu armies were locked in a stalemate at the Wancheng line of Nanyang County.Dankou is located to the west of Nanyang. It is nominally under the rule of Jingzhou, but in fact it is a three-no-thing zone.

Yang Xian clearly wanted to get a hand in Nanyang, so the target could not be the Chu army.

Cai Yun looked soothed and laughed.

"The Huan thieves are tyrannical, and everyone in the world is angry. Since the prime minister is determined to do something good and eliminate the violence, I will be the one behind me."

Yang Xian slowly turned around and looked at Cai Tong, who was also looking at him.

"The Marquis is indeed a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I admire him very much."

"The Prime Minister is also the Great Zhou Humerus. How can I not obey?"

In this windy little building, the two of them each laughed, but then they became silent.

Loyalty is nothing but an excuse. Taking advantage of each other will naturally lead to collusion.
