Chapter four hundred and sixteen critically ill(1/2)
Zhao Tong was so happy that he couldn't help but put his palm on Zhao Ying's shoulder.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying saw that the handsome man in front of her was rejoicing that the overall situation of Shenlangqiang was settled, and she did not remind him for a moment.
However, there was a hint of blush on her cheeks unconsciously, as if she was a little shy.
But then she felt a hint of secret joy in her heart.
It’s like the secret promise of a little daughter!
It seemed that after he had put his hand on Xiang's shoulder for a long time, Zhao Tong finally reacted and quickly took it back. A hint of apology quickly appeared on his face and he said:
"Aying, I...I...didn't do this on purpose."
"I was so excited just now that I did it subconsciously!"
"If there is any offense, please bear with me."
There seemed to be a pause in his speech.
He suddenly felt embarrassed on his face.
It has been several years since we came to this era.
He is also basically adaptable to customs and other habits.
Although the atmosphere of this era is far less conservative than that of the Song and Ming Dynasties, for women who have not left the court, there is still the concept of giving and receiving skin without being intimate.
Zhao Tong's subconscious move may be nothing in future generations.
But now he is a bit out of his mind.
"General Yingzhi knows your character." Seeing Zhao Tong suddenly feel at a loss, this made Zhao Ying's face disappear, and she hid her face and smiled:
"You are just an unintentional act because you are happy that the overall situation of Shenlangqiang has been decided!"
"Ying won't blame you."
After a little apology, Zhao Tong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Ying was too generous and didn't pursue it too much. He even secretly warned himself in his heart that he must pay attention to it in the future.
The two of them pondered for a long time before they could ease their embarrassment.
Follow closely.
Zhao Tong's face returned to calm, and he said: "Aying, now Prince Ni Er has successfully ascended the throne and presided over the overall situation of the royal court."
"Then our army will be stationed in Qiang Road in the future, which will completely eliminate our worries!"
After saying that, Zhao Ying couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, so he congratulated, "Congratulations, General."
"With the friendship between Prince Ni and the general."
"I think I will be able to adjust the previous strategy of sitting on the sidelines and having nothing to do with each other when King Shenlang Laoqiang was in power."
"Maybe our army can still ask for assistance at a critical moment?"
One word.
Zhao Tong nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.
This is what Zhao Ying said.
Why did they take the risk of Cao's army invading the Qiang Road and help Prince Ni to fight for the throne?
This is the reward!
Prince Ni Er came to power. Based on his previous behavior of befriending his father Zhao Yun and frequently exchanging letters with Zhao Tong, he also tended to unite with his own side.
If it is not supported vigorously.
With Prince Ni being more powerful than him, the second prince had no chance of winning the fight.
But he was extremely hostile to his own side and would not let An Ran stabilize the political situation in the royal court.
Under Cao's temptation, Shenlang Qiang was bound to be bribed to fight against his own side.
In that case, the situation will change dramatically in an instant.
Shenlangqiang is located on the southwest flank of the Qiang Road.
Once you are united with your own family, it will be a source of help.
But if they collude with the Cao family, the overall situation will be very bad.
This is also the essential factor why Zhao Tong is determined to help Prince Ni Er at all costs.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to send scouts to ask the governor Huo Jun to dispatch reinforcements.
Now I see Ma Zhong returning safely, and everything he brought back is going as planned.
The anxiety that had been hanging in Zhao Tong's heart was relieved with relief.
The two talked at length for a long time.
As Zhao Tong received changes from the royal court.
Cao's spies, who had already sent scouts all over the court of King Shenlang Qiang, also rode back one after another.
Cao Jun's border front line.
In the main account.
At this moment, General Fei Yao was discussing the next military affairs with other generals.
But the scout suddenly returned.
But it made him feel excited.
A hint of ominous thoughts arose.
Sure enough, when he announced the spies into the account and truthfully revealed all the recent changes in the royal court.
Fei Yao's originally calm face suddenly seemed to be somewhat shocked.
"What?" Fei Yao put one hand on the desk and yelled with a look of disbelief on his face, "Then Prince Ni Er has completely controlled the Shenlang Qiang tribe?"
"General Fei, according to the villain's investigation, this is indeed the case!"
"After he captured the royal court, deposed Prince Ni from the throne with the support of all the princes and ministers, and successfully succeeded to the throne, the news spread to the surrounding tribes."
"The chiefs of each tribe prepared sufficient congratulatory gifts, came in person, or sent envoys to meet him."
The words fell silently.
Although Fei Yao's expression turned increasingly grim after hearing all the military information, the scouts had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the detailed information.
After the report is completed!
Dai Ling from the side saw that Fei Yao was restless.
He then quickly waved his hand to signal the scouts to leave.
Seeing this, the spies wouldn't stay in the big tent, so they even surrendered and left.
He seemed to have been pondering for a while.
The shocked look on Fei Yao's face slowly dissipated.
Immediately, after his face calmed down, he looked sideways at Dai Ling and asked, "In your opinion, what should our army decide next?"
In one word.
When Dai Ling heard it, he understood the meaning in a moment.
After finishing his words, he did not make any ambiguity. He raised his hands and said bluntly: "General Fei, in Ling Yu's opinion, we can withdraw our troops and return."
"Now Prince Ni and his followers have been restrained and captured in one fell swoop!"
"The newly ascended Prince Ni Er has always had a close relationship with the Shu army. If we continue to deploy troops here, in addition to losing money and food, we will also lose any strategic significance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Lingsui looked up again, seeming to notice that there was still some unwillingness in Fei Yao's eyes, so he continued:
"Now I heard that the Prime Minister is recruiting all the main forces from all walks of life to conquer the Sun family in Jiangdong."
"The armies are facing off in front of Ruxu Ferry on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. It is not appropriate for us to start another dispute in the west at this time."
"If not, we will be completely dragged into the quagmire of war."
"I hope General Fei can consider the overall situation!"
Words fell one after another.
Although Fei Yao was still unwilling to give up, Dai Ling's words revealed that he was not a stupid person.
As a general of an army, you can at least understand the disadvantages of fighting on two fronts.
He followed closely, seemingly hesitating for a long time.
A hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Dai Ling, please pass the order to all the ministries."
"From now on, we will slowly withdraw our troops to Longxi."
Fei Yao stood up as if he had exhausted all his strength, and issued instructions one after another with a tall and tall body.
