Nangong Yi's heart suddenly stirred up a storm. Others didn't know it, but he knew that Su Changqing's purpose was to destroy Nan Chu.
But he didn't expect that the civil and military officials of Southern Chu not only failed to see Su Changqing's thoughts, but also relied on him so much that they even wanted to hand over the position of Ling Yin to him.
This is the position where one person is less than ten thousand people in Nanchu. Taking this position is equivalent to controlling the entire Nanchu.
Until then, the survival of the entire country will not be decided by Su Changqing alone.
"Xiangguo Nangong!" Lord Weiyang said with a proud face: "It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Since our Chu army has won a great victory, it is better to stay and drink a glass of celebratory wine!"
Nangong Yi gave a few perfunctory congratulations.
"No, since the war on Mr. Su's side has ended, the foreign minister should meet with him as soon as possible to finalize the details of the alliance between the two countries, and perhaps persuade your majesty to help Nan Chu with food and grass."
After saying a few polite words, Nangong Yi left the palace with his entourage.
He could already feel the ferocious aura emanating from the faces of the civil and military officials of Southern Chu. If this continued, they would most likely attack Dashang.
Moreover, Nanchu's court seemed to be completely at Su Changqing's pace.
We must meet Su Changqing as soon as possible and ask him what he wants.
In the palace of Caichang City Lord, a group of generals gathered here to drink cups and cups, and they were very excited.
Their situation was not good before. It could be said that they were in dire straits. The 200,000 troops sent by Yongxu were all elites. No matter how they looked at it, Caichang City could not be defended.
Now that he not only defended the city, but also captured eight cities, Su Changqing even distributed the seized property and promised to double the resettlement fee he had given before.
This made all the soldiers grateful to him.
"Lord Xiangguo, from now on, my life is yours and I will be at your disposal!"
"None of the promises made by Shangguan were fulfilled in the past. Even if they were fulfilled, they would be at a huge discount. But since we have been with the Prime Minister, we have been fully paid and will be here to toast the Prime Minister."
"What else is it called the Prime Minister? Mr. Weiyang has already said that your position will belong to Mr. Su sooner or later. Now that he has made such a great contribution, I am afraid that Mr. Weiyang will abdicate one day."
"That's right, we all need to change our name to Lord Lingyin."
...
Su Changqing didn't say much, he just accepted their flattery happily, but there was no expression on his face, and even the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth was a little fake.
"Fellow soldiers, Yongxu's vitality has been seriously damaged now. As long as we work hard together, we can capture his royal capital. I wonder if you are willing to follow me for another trip."
All the soldiers present stood up and raised their glasses.
"I will go there eventually!"
Su Changqing also raised his wine glass.
"Okay, then I will make an exception today and have a drink!"
The carnival lasted until midnight, and the generals staggered back to their respective camps.
Su Changqing did not leave, but sat firmly on the main hall, raised the wine glass in front of him and sprinkled it on the ground, as if he was offering a memorial.
"Sir!" A follower hurriedly ran in: "A few people came outside the door, saying they had something urgent to meet."
There was no emotion on Su Changqing's face.
"Let them in!"
Not long after, Nangong Yi appeared in the main hall.
