Of course, some people are happy and some are sad. The Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's hearty victory in Xianning made some people in Jiangling city feel a little restless.

In a certain corner of Jiangling City, in a dark hall, several men sat together, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.One of the men sighed and said: "Everyone, Zhao Yan won the battle of Xianning this time, and his power has once again risen to the extreme. The stronger his strength, the more dangerous it will be for Da Song Can you guys have a way to deal with it?"

"Hmph." Another younger man thumped the foreshadowing in front of him vigorously, and said, "This Zhao Yan has ulterior motives. Maybe one day he will do the usurping thing. We are all Song officials, and we should be The rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty has been devoted to everything. I think that it is better for us to arrange assassins to assassinate Zhao Yan."

"No." This proposal was immediately rejected by the man who spoke earlier. At this time, the light outside the window was slightly shifted, and it happened to shine on his face, revealing a picture of about 40 years old. Master Jiangling Zhong.It's just that Master Zhong's face was full of gloom at this moment, he shook his head and said, "Don't mention the matter of assassination again, then Zhao Yan is very skilled, and there are many expert guards by his side, we will use all we have Even the strength of his body didn't hurt even half of his "hair". This method is absolutely unworkable."

When Mr. Zhong mentioned the incident back then, everyone was also silent. The incident of Zhao Yan's assassination ended with the suppression of officials like them. The officials were killed and arrested.Since then, these officials have calmed down a bit.From the bright side to the dark side, they are also very cautious in this gathering, for fear of being noticed by the spies of the Zhao family's princes' spy department.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 513

As the crowd gasped, no one dared to speak anymore, as if what they said could be overheard at any time.Mr. Zhong glanced at the people around him, shook his head involuntarily, and let out a long sigh. These people looked tough on the surface, but if something really happened, they might be the ones who ran the fastest.It's impossible to rely on these people to succeed.

Just as Master Zhong opened his mouth to continue to say something, suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside the closed door.The knock on the door startled the already frightened people, and one of them even jumped up, ready to jump out from the next window at any time.However, a word came out immediately, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, only a voice came from outside the door: "Master, the villain has something important to report."

Everyone had heard this voice before, and knew that it was the voice of Lord Zhong's most trusted butler, and hearing this voice was unhurried, everyone's hearts were finally relieved.Mr. Zhong frowned, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you, do I have something important to discuss here? Why do you want to bother me? If there is anything, I will talk about it after I finish talking here."

"Master." Although Mr. Zhong said so, the butler still said unhurriedly outside the door: "This matter is indeed very urgent. I am afraid that I will delay the important matters of the master."

A trace of doubt flashed across Mr. Zhong's face. This butler has been with him for many years, and his loyalty to him cannot be doubted.What could make the old butler disobey his orders?Master Zhong's heart skipped a beat, Dang even bowed his hands to everyone present, and said, "Everyone, excuse me." After speaking, Zhong turned around and left the dark hall, opened the door and walked out.

After leaving the hall, Mr. Zhong took a few steps outside, came to the yard, and said to the old housekeeper who was following him: "Okay. Tell me if you have anything to do."

"Yes." The old butler saluted respectfully, then took out a brocade bag from his cuff, raised it over his head, presented it in front of Zhong, and said to Zhong, "Master, this secret letter was sent by someone just now. It was thrown into the mansion secretly. The villain made his own opinion, opened the kit, read the contents of this secret letter, and felt that the matter was of great importance, so he came here to inform the master."

Mr. Zhong didn't care much about what the old housekeeper said about arrogance. As the person he trusted most, Zhong would not worry that the other party would reveal his secrets.After receiving the kit, Zhong directly pulled out the secret letter inside, opened it up for a look, and suddenly Zhong Zhong's face changed, the expression was indescribably complicated, and it was impossible to tell whether Zhong was sad or happy at the moment. .

After briefly reading the secret letter, Zhong stuffed the secret letter back into the kit, put it directly in his arms, and said to the housekeeper: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Anyone who knows about this matter, all Shut them up forever. Understand?"

The meaning of the so-called shutting up forever is of course very clear. The housekeeper did not change his expression, but bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhong, and said, "Master, don't worry, the villain has already dealt with this matter." It's done."

For such a good servant who knows what he thinks in his heart, Zhong is of course very satisfied, Dang even nodded and said: "Okay! That's good, you go back first. I have something important to discuss here." He waved his hand and signaled the butler to go back directly.And after Zhong finished his discussion here, there would naturally be someone to send him back home.

After the butler left, Zhong also turned around and returned to the hall, and carefully closed the doors and windows. Then Zhong quickly walked to the crowd who had been waiting for a long time, and said to everyone, "I kept you waiting for a long time. Sorry! Forgive me!"

"My lord, you're being polite." Everyone also returned their greetings one after another, but none of them took the initiative to ask about what Zhong had just left.Mr. Zhong obviously didn't intend to hide that matter from everyone, so he took out the kit from his bosom, threw it directly to the person closest to him, and said, "This is the secret letter I just received. Everyone, please let me know." Take a closer look."

Although no one took the initiative to ask, everyone was very curious about the fact that the butler invited Zhong out just now. Now that Zhong took the initiative to take out the kit, everyone quickly opened the secret letter and gathered together to read it carefully.Not long after, there were several exclamations from the crowd. The man who proposed to assassinate Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned his head and asked Xiang Zhong: "Master Zhong, is this serious?"

"I don't know whether it's true or not." Mr. Zhong shook his head and said, "According to what the housekeeper said, this secret letter was secretly thrown into the house just now. Therefore, the authenticity of the content of this letter depends on whether it is true or not." But I have not had time to identify it. I took out this secret letter, and I hope that you can judge the authenticity of this matter for me."

"This..." After hearing Master Zhong's words, everyone hesitated. At this moment, a young man suddenly said, "Show me the secret letter again. I have known him for many years. If this letter is true It was written by his own soldiers, so I will definitely recognize it." After finishing speaking, the young man took the secret letter, read it carefully several times, and finally raised his head and said to everyone: "That's right! It is indeed His handwriting."

After the young man finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Mr. Zhong seemed to think of something, and suddenly shook his head and said: "No. Just handwriting is not enough. Have you forgotten? Deqi Bingqin Wang was deceived by a fake letter. I heard that Elder Wu, the counselor under Zhao Yan, is best at imitating other people's handwriting. The fake letter used to deceive Wang De's trust came from this person. So we must be on guard that this letter is the letter king Zhao Zhen repeating his old tricks to deceive us."

"Uh." Upon hearing Lord Zhong's words, everyone trembled immediately. The young man shook his hands and threw the kit out, as if it was not a small kit but a Like a biting monster.Back then, Fang De fell into the trap and raised troops rashly. Everyone has heard about how miserable he ended up, and they didn't want to be the second Fang De.

"Really? Wang Ting died just like that." After listening to Yao Da and others' report, Xinwang Zhao Zhen sighed long.Over the past year, Wang Ting has been following Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's side, and he still has some feelings.Now that Wang Bao died like this, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's heart is also empty, and he doesn't know what to say.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 513

"Yes." Yao Da said to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen without changing his face: "That night, it was reported that there were assassins in the mansion of His Highness, and the humble officer urgently mobilized all the security forces in the city to defend. After that, several other places in Jiangling appeared again. The inexplicable fire caused our spy department to not get the news in time, and rushed to rescue. When the subordinates led the spy department arrived, Wang Ting was already dead. And the identity of the assassin has been ascertained, it is His Majesty's The number one guard, Grandmaster Zhao Zhong."

"Zhao Zhong." The eyes of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen flashed a cold light. Since the assassin is Zhao Zhong, the identity of the messenger behind the scenes is self-evident. It is the current Majesty Zhao Gou.The spy department of the Zhao family princes had already found out that His Majesty had sent Zhao Zhong to look for the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager Meng of Longyou.Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou found out about him while Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was away from Jiangling.Taking a deep breath, he asked again, "How is this Zhao Zhong doing now?"

"My lord. Zhao Zhong was already dead when the subordinates and others arrived. According to Madam, Zhao Zhong was killed by Wang Tin, and Wang Tin should have died of exhaustion." Regarding the question of Xinwang Zhao Zhen, Yao Da answered quickly.

"Hmph." Hearing that Zhao Zhong was dead, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen snorted coldly.He knew that once Zhao Zhong died, Zhao Gou would have no masters around him, but it was a pity that Wang Tian, ​​who he trained himself, also died in battle.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen immediately summoned Wen Wu to come to his mansion to discuss the next move.His Highness called, those subordinates naturally did not dare to delay, and quickly rushed to the meeting hall of the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion.

After everyone waited for a while, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also rushed to the meeting room. He sat down in his seat, waved to the people who saluted him, and said, "Okay. There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so polite." Let's be more casual."

After everyone was seated, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said to everyone: "Everyone, now that the coalition forces of the princes have been disintegrated, the princes from all walks of life are no longer able to fight against us. I summoned you here today to discuss with you and see the future." How should we deal with these princes from all walks of life."

Now that King of Letters Zhao Zhen made the start, the people who sat down were no longer silent. Fu Xuan was the first to speak. Fu Xuan sat up straight and said to King of Letters Zhao Zhen, "My lord. We won a complete victory, but the coalition forces of the princes did not suffer much damage, so we should not take it too lightly. The subordinates believe that we should strengthen our defenses and beware of sudden attacks from the princes."

Fu Xuan's suggestion can be regarded as an old-fashioned strategy, which tends to be prudent, but Ji Qianqian, who is sitting next to Fu Xuan, obviously does not agree with her friend's suggestion.As soon as Fu Xuan's words fell, Ji Qianqian sat up straight and said, "My lord, my subordinates disagree. Now that the princes of all roads have been damaged, and Xianning's defeat is the time when their morale is low. My lord should take advantage of this opportunity , aggressively attacked. Especially the territory occupied by Liu Guang. Liu Guang died outside the city of Xianning, and Liu Jun was the most affected. Moreover, during the Battle of Xianning, it was the Liu family army who retreated first, which led to the disintegration of the coalition forces of the princes. At this time, if we Sending troops to attack Liu Guangjun, Xia Cheng and Gao An will definitely not help the Liu family army. Your Excellency can take this opportunity to annex the three states including Nanchang and Nankang Army."

Ji Qianqian's suggestion was also in line with his adventurous character, but Ji Qianqian's suggestion was immediately refuted by others, Elder Wu shook his head and said: "My subordinates think what Qianqian said is inappropriate. Qianqian, don't forget that although Liu Tong put Xia Cheng and the others together during the Xianning battle, it is impossible not to see the importance of Liu Guangjun's existence from the perspective of Xia Cheng and Gao An. With Liu Guangjun, We still have a buffer point for them, but if Liu Guangjun is annexed by the adults, wouldn't they be the ones who will suffer next? There are no permanent enemies in the world, only interests dictate it." Elder Wu immediately felt the change in his heart Pointing out the loopholes in Ji Qianqian's suggestion, Ji Qianqian was also rendered speechless by Elder Wu's words.

At this time, Liu He, who likes to take a slanted sword the most, also started to speak. He said: "Master Wu's words are reasonable, but my subordinates think that if we don't follow the plan, let the martial arts and landscape army pretend to attack Nanchang first, so that Xia Cheng will send troops. Aid Nanchang, and when the time comes, my lord will send a large army to invade the Nankang army. As long as Jiangzhou is captured, Xia Cheng, the most powerful among the princes of the roads, will not be able to do so."

For a while, several top counselors in the meeting hall were expressing their opinions, and Yao Da, the commander of the spy department of the princes of the Zhao family, had never expressed his opinions on such occasions. It will only be discussed by Fu Xuan and a few people.Xin Wang Zhao Zhen frowned deeply after listening carefully to several people expressing their opinions.Fu Xuan and the others had different opinions before, but it was the first time that there were so many differences like today, and Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, didn't know who to listen to for a while.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and said: "Everyone, after the battle of Xianning, the princes of the roads have not suffered much loss in strength. But in fact, the most important thing is that the relationship between Xia Cheng and others is already close. It's a mess. First, Liu Guang's death made Liu Tong extremely dissatisfied with Xia Cheng and the others, which also caused Liu Tong to lead the Liu family's army away without authorization afterwards."

"Later, Peng You followed Liu Tong and withdrew from the battlefield, causing the coalition forces of the princes to collapse completely. If it wasn't for this, no matter how bad it was, the battle of Xianning would have continued for a few more days. Xia Cheng and Gao An were wasted on this. There are a lot of soldiers and food, so we can be sure that Xia Cheng and Gao An must have a grudge against Liu Tong and Peng You, and Liu Tong also deeply hates Xia Cheng and Gao An."

What Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said was not difficult for Fu Xuan and others to understand. In fact, they already knew this point clearly in their hearts.They knew that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen would definitely not bring up this matter for no reason, there must be some reason, and Fu Xuan and the others wanted to know what Xin Wang Zhao Zhen wanted to say.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen continued: "If we attack aggressively at this time, then due to the strength of our army, Xia Cheng and others will definitely unite again to resist our army even if they have grievances in their hearts. If that is the case, Even if our army is able to defeat the enemies from all walks of life, the losses will inevitably be huge, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

"Everyone, please imagine, if we don't send troops to attack any of the princes of the various roads, how will the princes of the various roads react?"

"Uh." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's sudden rhetorical question caused everyone to be taken aback, and Ji Qianqian subconsciously replied, "Well, if your lord didn't send troops, then the princes of all lands would definitely take the opportunity to recuperate."

"No." Just as Ji Qianqian finished answering, Elder Wu immediately frowned and said: "If there is no Lord's army to oppress, then the princes of all roads will definitely not go to recuperate honestly. Not to mention this The second battle of Xianning didn't do much damage to their actual "substantial" strength. In my opinion, they are more likely to attack each other, or even attack Emperor Zhao Gou. Take advantage of this time to expand their own strength."
