"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha~"

A burst of hearty and gloating laughter echoed in the majestic Dianbing Pavilion in the Imperial City, echoing for a long time in the empty pavilion.

Yuwen Xingchen, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the huge map sand table in the hall and laughed out loud:

"Hahaha~"

This Dianbing Pavilion was built after the melee broke out in the Central Plains. Now it is almost the military command center of the Long Army. Sometimes even some important government affairs are discussed here.

The people who can enter here are all confidants and the people in power of this empire.

On weekdays, there are people coming and going here, and there are countless ministers, but today Yuwen Xingchen has driven all these people out, and now he is the only one in the four-story Dianbing Pavilion.

"Hahaha."

"Cough cough cough!"

Yuwen Xingchen laughed so hard that he coughed, and kept mumbling:

"Chang family, Chang family, I never thought that you would be today~

Isn’t the Yan family your most loyal and trustworthy ally? Why did they betray you?

Isn't Chang Jingan, the Jiedushi, known as the earliest successful patriarch of the Chang family in these generations? Why did he die at the sword of the Yan army?

Didn’t the Pinghan Road frontier army claim to be invincible, and wasn’t the northern defense line as solid as a rock? How come the entire territory fell in just a few days?

Hahaha!"

"Chang Hantang, Chang Hantang, you old guy is probably going to faint from anger right now, right? No, you'd better be so angry that you die!"

Yuwen Xingchen's tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule. His Majesty the Emperor, who was always known for his poise and poise, rarely showed such a crazy attitude. If those ministers and eunuchs saw it, their jaws would definitely drop.

From the moment Ping Handao's information was delivered to Yuwen Xingchen, his mouth never closed again. He was so happy~

Originally, the Ning army completely wiped out the Western Barbarians under Dugu Xin, resulting in the entire Jiaodong Road being lost, which the Long army was unable to cope with.

The Liang army's offensive on the front line of Tongzhou was also very fierce. Yuwen Xingchen was worried about the Liang army approaching the city every day.

But now all of a sudden there is a bright future.

No matter it was Ning Jun or Liang Jun, they were all grabbed by Yan Jun's throat.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhou Weiran, Zhou Weiran." Yuwen Xingchen tutted and praised:

"You really did me a big favor, haha!"

"Crunch~"

At this moment, the heavy wooden door of the hall made a sound.

Yuwen Xingchen's brows suddenly wrinkled. He had already said that no one should disturb him, yet some people dared to resist!

But when he saw the rickety figure tremblingly entering the palace gate, the anger on Yuwen Xingchen's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he immediately ran over, not caring about the majestic image in the world.

"Grandpa, you said your legs and feet are weak, why are you still here!" Yuwen Xingchen said with a hint of reproach:

"I came as soon as I came, and I didn't even bring two followers. These people down there really have no eyesight."

This old man with a stooped figure and gray hair was the grandfather of Yuwen Hongru and Yuwen Xingchen who gradually faded out of the sight of the courtiers.

Yuwen Hongru glared at him and said casually:

"Don't talk to Grandpa about these things. Why, are you happy hiding here alone?

Grandpa, I can hear your laughter from outside the palace!

You, you, when did you become so out of control?"

"What grandpa taught me was that it was my grandson's fault."

Yuwen Xingchen said with a smile on his face:

"Isn't this happy? Two of our three major enemies were suddenly held back by the Yan army, and the situation on the battlefield in the Central Plains suddenly became favorable to us.

Maybe in some time, Fifth Xinrou will be able to completely defeat Liang Jun, and then we will be able to sit back and relax~"

The two of them walked as they talked until they reached the edge of the map sandbox before stopping.

"Chang family, Chang family~"

Yu Wen Hongru turned his attention to Ping Handao's position and murmured: "Grandpa, I have been fighting with Chang Hantang all my life, and I never thought that the Chang family would lose in this way.

The old saying is true, it is most difficult to guard against one's own knives.

Chang Jingan was considered a generation of generals. He was smart since he was a child, but he didn't expect to die in Hanzhou City in battle.

Alas~"

There was a bit of sadness and sadness in the old man's eyes, perhaps because he couldn't forget the past events of the older generation.

Yuwen Xingchen took the words and said:

"The Yan family's betrayal exceeded everyone's expectations and it stabbed Ning Jun in the heart.

Even though old man Chang Hantang still has hundreds of thousands of people in his hands now, without the foundation of Pinghan Dao, the Chang family's demise will be a matter of time."

"Don't be happy too early!"

Yuwen Hongru asked with a cold face: "Even if the Chang family is defeated, have you thought about how to face the Yan army in the future?

Even if Duguxin regains the lost territory of Jiaodong Road and even Tianning Road, how long can he hold on to the Yan army's horse hoof?

Is it possible that it would be easier to deal with the millions of Yan troops than to deal with the Chang family's 200,000 border troops?"

Yuwen Hongru's series of questions made Yuwen Xingchen's smile stop suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Yeah~"

After a second thought, Yuwen Xingchen echoed with a sad face:

"The current situation is favorable to us, but in another year and a half, it may not be the same~"

"Think about it~"

Yu Wen Hongru put his hands behind his back and said: "What should we do next? We are not the ones who sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."

Yuwen Xingchen frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly grinned and said:

"Grandpa came all the way here just to embarrass his grandson, right?

Grandpa must have had an idea a long time ago, so don’t show off~"

Yuwen Xingchen had a smart expression on his face.

"You, you." Yu Wen Hongru smiled bitterly: "You have been thinking very fast since you were a child."

"Haha, your grandson guessed it right, right?" Yuwen Xingchen laughed: "Grandpa, just tell me, what should I do next?"

Yuwen Hongru narrowed his eyes and looked at the map sand table, and said softly:

"Zhou Weiran can cooperate with the Yan people, why can't we?"

"Uh~"

Yuwen Xingchen was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion. It was obvious that he did not understand what his grandfather meant.

Yuwen Hongru continued:

"If the Yan army fights with the Liang army, then won't we be free to deal with the Zhao family in Jiangnan?"

"Grandpa." Yuwen Xingchen said with doubts on his face: "Yan Jun can't be so stupid, right? He will never give us this opportunity."

"hehe."

The old man smiled slightly:

"Yan Rong, Zhou Weiran, and Chen Yue all have deep hatreds. Nothing is impossible in this world. If we can't negotiate, it's just because the price is not high enough."

"Grandpa said that you want to negotiate with them?"

"Yes."

The old man said attentively: "Send someone to get in touch. As long as we can reach an agreement, I can just give them Pinghan Dao~
