Chapter 276 Western Chu's strategy to seek the country
"Xuanjian Division?" Ye Hongyi looked around and suddenly realized that there was one person missing.
"Where are the Pachins?"
"I haven't seen him in a while."
Ye Hongyi and Bai Qing brought the Firearms Camp, but Bai Qing disappeared after Linzhou.
"The general sent Lord Bai to do something?" Wei Feng had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't ask because he didn't want to pry into the Xuanjian Division's secrets.
"Yes, I sent him to Ningzhou to keep an eye on Prince Ning."
"I sent Bai Qing to Ningzhou before the news of Prince Ning's rebellion came."
"Can the general estimate the number of days?" Wei Feng was shocked. He didn't even receive the news. Why would he doubt King Shangning?
Ye Hongyi had some understanding: "If something happens to King Wei, it will definitely involve King Ning. You originally wanted to know whether King Ning was involved in King Wei's case, right?"
With this said, Wei Feng could accept it.
Who in the entire dynasty does not know that the relationship between King Wei and King Ning is as close as father and son, and they have always been inseparable.
The King of Wei had a rebel son, so Fang Jue sent people to keep an eye on King Ning, which was natural and reasonable.
"Yes, I suspect that Prince Ning is involved, but now it seems that Prince Ning is not only involved, he is also the real mastermind behind the scenes."
Fang Jue clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect to catch such a big fish all at once."
"But what can the Xuanjian Division do? The Xuanjian Division's power in Ningzhou is no match for King Ning's guards, and the Ningzhou army is even more powerful." Wei Feng was not optimistic.
The Ningzhou garrison was stronger than the Suzhou and Ganzhou armies because Ningzhou was the fiefdom of King Ning.
Prince Ning, on the other hand, is a superior prince. When he was a prince, he actually led troops.
Ningzhou is under the jurisdiction of King Ning, and he can administer government and train troops there, which is legal, as long as the soldiers and horses are not taken out of Ningzhou.
"The purpose of the Xuanjian Division is just a reason. I need a suitable reason to go to Ningzhou. After all, Your Majesty has not assigned me to suppress Prince Ning... If I want to go, I need a name."
The water on the stove was boiling. Fang Jue pinched the wet cloth, lifted the handle, and poured the boiling water into a pot filled with tea leaves.
Pour eight percent full, cover the lid, and shake gently.
The next step is to wait for the tea to brew.
There wasn't much vegetable supply during this march, and if I didn't drink more tea, I wouldn't be able to poop.
"Do you want Bai Qing to collect evidence to prove that King Ning intends to rebel, so that you can take the Yulin Army and the Firearms Battalion to Ningzhou?" Ye Hongyi was like a tapeworm to Fang Jue, already knowing his style very well.
"Almost the same, but I have given instructions to Bai Qing. Once he finds out that Prince Ning really wants to raise an army, he can try to assassinate him."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hongyi and Wei Feng were both shocked.
"General, you must not do this!" Wei Feng exclaimed.
He didn't expect that Fang Jue would dare to be so bold.
"Why not?" Fang Jue said calmly, "They are all plotting against each other, and everyone will get it and kill them."
"How do you explain to your majesty? He is your majesty's brother after all!" Wei Feng felt that this was really inappropriate.
However, Ye Hongyi somewhat understood Fang Jue and said: "If your Majesty catches Prince Ning, it will be difficult to kill him. I am afraid that there will be rumors in future generations that your Majesty forced his brother to rebel and then killed him. It is better to let others do it for him."
"
"But you are too bold. What if His Majesty really doesn't want Prince Ning to die?" Ye Hongyi also frowned, not daring to agree.
When he felt that the tea was ready, Fang Jue poured out a small bowl, held it in his hands to warm his hands, and drank it without any rush.
He doesn't like to pretend to be a famous official, and he drinks tea very elegantly, but Fang Jue is not an arty person at heart.
Drinking tea is also for physiological needs, otherwise he would prefer plain water.
Regarding the shock and fear of the two of them, Fang Jue was not too worried. Instead, he smiled and said: "Of course your Majesty is not willing to part with brotherhood, but King Ning's sin is unpardonable..."
"There is also a rebellious prince in our Daxia. He was not sentenced to death, but was imprisoned in the clan's mansion." Ye Hongyi reminded Fang Jue.
"But those people all died inexplicably later." Fang Jue rolled his eyes.
"You...are brave." Ye Hongyi hummed and winked, indicating to Fang Jue that there was Wei Feng next to him.
How dare you suggest that it's the royal family's behind-the-scenes work.
Wei Feng turned his face sideways, and he suddenly realized that this general did not seem to be too afraid of the imperial power, and did not have much real awe in his heart.
"Don't worry... Prince Ning can't die. If he can be assassinated by Bai Qing, he has no right to rebel."
Fang Jue suddenly changed his tone and said with a smile: "I just want to see what martial arts masters are around Prince Ning and let Bai Qing test them."
"Are you suspecting that there are masters from other countries around Prince Ning, and that there are people behind the scenes who are supporting him?" Ye Hongyi is quick-thinking. There are many such cases in the Hanging Sword Division, and it is easy to follow Fang Jue's thinking.
After hearing this, Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't really want to assassinate Prince Ning, that's fine.
Otherwise, even if the chaos is suppressed, His Majesty will pretend to be in a difficult position even if he goes back... After all, brothers and sisters still have to act.
"Not only do I suspect that there are promoters from enemy countries behind King Ning, I also suspect that there are promoters from other countries behind Luo Yang." Fang Jue said seriously.
"Um?"
The two of them were stunned.
"What does the general mean by this?" Wei Feng was shocked. How could he tell this?
Fang Jue did not answer directly, but looked at Wei Feng with a smile.
"General Wei?"
"Ang? Is the general here?" Wei Feng was confused, and his tone suddenly softened. What does this mean?
Fang Juexiao asked: "Even if I have Dianyi protecting me, if I rebel, you should have a way to kill me, right?"
"Why did the general say such a thing!" Wei Feng stared in fright and immediately took a step back.
Hearing this, Dianyi was already slowly drawing his sword, looking at Wei Feng and Ye Hongyi with a somewhat threatening look.
Ye Hongyi suddenly nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand."
"Understand what?" Wei Feng stared blankly, why did you understand, why didn't I understand?
Ye Hongyi rolled her eyes and said: "For a person like Luo Yang, Emperor Liang must be wary of him. He has many experts around him. Once he finds out that he wants to rebel, he will kill him immediately."
"However, Luo Yang successfully raised an army and conquered more than a dozen states, which shows that the masters around him are stronger than those sent by Emperor Liang."
After Ye Hongyi's analysis, Wei Feng understood the meaning.
Immediately, Wei Feng came back to his senses, bowed his hands and said: "General, your Majesty has no doubts about the general, nor has he given any instructions or secret orders to the general to guard against you!"
He also thought that Fang Jue was criticizing Sang and Huai, implying that he was like the masters around Luo Yang.
He was waiting to stab Fang Jue in the back at any moment.
"In recent years, Beiliang and Daxia have become stronger and stronger, while the other countries have begun to decline."
Fang Juedao: "Some people want to create divisions within us so that we will be tired of dealing with our own chaos and have no intention of expanding our territory so that they can protect themselves."
"Luoyang, Beiliang, has raised troops. Beiliang has split into two, and each is a mortal enemy of the other. What will follow is a situation of confrontation and mutual cannibalization."
"If King Ning raises an army, he might be able to separate the north... In this case, who will benefit the most?" Fang Jue looked at the two of them, wanting to test them.
The two looked at each other and answered almost simultaneously:
"Xi Chu!"
The northwest of Daxia and the west of Beiliang are adjacent to Western Chu.
If Luo Yang and King Ning could separate themselves, the most direct beneficiary would be Western Chu. They would immediately lose the prying eyes of their two powerful neighbors.
We can also legitimately expand our territory towards these two sides.
Because Luo Yang and King Ning would both be rebellious by then and would not be tolerated by the Seven Kingdoms, naturally there would be no need for any extra reason to attack them.
"Isn't this idea...too far-fetched?" Wei Feng had to admire the genius of this conjecture, but he also had to suspect that it was too delusional.
Deducing the cause from the result makes it seem like there is a conspiracy theory in everything.
Ye Hongyi felt that Fang Jue would not be innocent, and suddenly thought: "Did Bai Qing tell you something?"
"Bai Qing?" Wei Feng glared, "Yes, Master Bai is the former deputy palace master of the Overlord Palace of Western Chu!"
Fang Jue nodded at Ye Hongyi: "You can teach me."
"It was indeed Bai Qing who revealed it. I made some insinuations, and his reaction convinced me that Xi Chu had indeed had a similar plan."
Although Bai Qing voted for him, he would not betray everything about Xi Chu.
He just wanted to see if Fang Jue had the ability to do what he boasted about.
Fang Jue was suspicious of this, and in the process of questioning Bai Qing, he saw Xi Chu's strategy from his reaction.
Ye Hongyi said: "I understand. If Xi Chu wants to do something like this, he will definitely send experts from the Overlord Palace to do it. Bai Qing should know about it."
"If that's the case, Xi Chu is too insidious." Wei Feng said angrily.
Secretly instigate and divide the enemy country, thus indirectly benefiting oneself...
"No," Fang Jue affirmed with a smile, "This is a strategy for the country. The person who can come up with this method is a real national scholar...I am a little interested in him." This chapter has been completed!
