Xu Mingji, one man and one horse, came to the northern border of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Army.
I met Xu Mingfeng smoothly.
When Xu Mingfeng learned that Xu Mingji had arrived in the north, he was ready to kill him, but in the end he chose to stop because once he killed the prince, there would be no chance of turning back.
"Brother, long time no see..."
Xu Mingfeng poured wine for Xu Mingji with a smile on his face.
Xu Mingji did not refuse and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are living a pretty comfortable life here!"
Xu Mingfeng picked up the bowl and half-smiled, "Brother Emperor, you are wrong. Your brother is not nourished by me here at all. Instead, he lives on tenterhooks every day!"
"What's the reason? I don't think there's any need to say more!"
Drink the wine in your hand.
Xu Mingji nodded, "I know!"
Xu Mingfeng laughed at himself, "Sometimes, things that you clearly didn't do are recognized by others. The most annoying thing is that there is no reason to reason!"
"Became a sinner!"
"well……"
Long sighs.
Seeing that Xu Mingji was not drinking, he said again: "Why are you standing there? Drink!"
"What? Afraid of being poisonous?"
Xu Mingji shook his head, picked up the bowl of wine and drank it without hesitation.
He also signaled twice to Xu Mingfeng.
"Gone!"
Xu Mingfeng smiled, "Come on, come on, keep drinking!"
Xu Mingji responded, and then said: "From the beginning, I didn't believe it was you who murdered me!"
"So, I didn't blame you!"
Xu Mingfeng picked up the wine and said, "Brother Emperor, thank you for your trust. I'll finish this bowl of wine!"
"Um!"
Xu Mingji also drank a bowl, "Do you know why I came to you?"
Xu Mingfeng said half-jokingly: "Could it be that you are here to persuade me to take the initiative to admit my mistake to my father?"
"Of course not..." Xu Mingji interrupted, "You are not wrong, so why admit it?"
"Haha, I love hearing this!"
Xu Mingfeng laughed, with a little light shining in his eyes, and asked again: "Then tell me why you came!"
Xu Mingji thought for a moment and then explained his purpose.
Send troops to support Soochow!
When he heard this, Xu Mingfeng's face instantly darkened, and his expression became a bit indifferent.
"Brother Emperor, why are you sending troops?" Xu Mingfeng was unhappy.
Xu Mingji explained: "There is a war between Soochow and Wu Dynasty. If Soochow is defeated, then our Southern Dynasties will be next. To put it more seriously, we will be dead!"
"Hmph..." Xu Mingfeng said disdainfully, "Brother Emperor, you are trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"What you don't know is that the Wu Dynasty has defeated Bei Mo, which claims to have millions of wolf riders, and has also established the Bei Mo Town Office in Bei Mo!" Xu Mingji said and sighed, "So,
We have to guard against it!"
"Now that Soochow is in front, we only need a little help to defeat the Wu Dynasty!"
"This move is beneficial to us!"
Xu Mingfeng frowned, thinking, but did not immediately express his stance to Xu Mingji, doing Tai Chi, "According to this, support is also necessary!"
Xu Mingji nodded, "To put it bluntly, this battle is also for the Southern Dynasty!"
"Second brother, look..."
Xu Mingfeng did not answer the question, but said: "I won't talk about this today, let's drink!"
"We brothers, it's been a long time since we had a good meal!"
Xu Mingji did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
Just like that, after three rounds of drinking...
After Xu Mingji got drunk, he rested at Xu Mingfeng's residence.
As for Xu Mingfeng, he was very sober and stared coldly at Xu Mingji in front of him.
If he wanted to kill Xu Mingji, he could say that he would not waste his efforts, but he did not do so.
Come to the military headquarters.
Because of Xu Mingji's arrival, the military advisor and other generals were all restless.
When they saw Xu Mingfeng, they all stood up to greet him...
"General!"
"Are you going to take action?"
Xu Mingfeng motioned for everyone to sit down and said slowly: "Xu Mingji came to the Northern Army because he wanted us to support Soochow!"
"Wha...what?"
The lieutenants were all shocked.
"Why?"
"Because once Soochow is defeated, our Southern Dynasty will be next!" Xu Mingfeng said somewhat generally.
"How is this possible?" The lieutenants did not believe it. "Even if the Wu Dynasty has become stronger in recent years, it is impossible to destroy anyone!"
"General, I think it's a bit unfounded!"
"That's right..."
Military advisor Wu Ziyang, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke, "Logically speaking, Xu Mingji's concern is right! But the second prince must not send troops now!"
"Once troops are sent out, the second prince's status in the country will be out of control!"
Wu Ziyang was more direct and stated the stakes involved.
Xu Mingfeng naturally understood and nodded, "What the military advisor said makes perfect sense!"
"In this case, we will not send troops!"
"Yes, Xu Mingji wants to send troops to reinforce Soochow, let them send their own troops!"
Now the Northern Army of the Southern Dynasties and Xu Mingfeng are of the same mind.
Wu Ziyang said again: "If we don't send troops, we are resisting the decree!"
"Ha...it's not like I haven't resisted before, so I'm not afraid!"
"that is!"
The lieutenants are now aggressive and fearless.
Xu Mingfeng looked around at the people in the circle and said calmly: "Okay, everyone, don't get excited. I think this matter should be discussed in the long run before making another decision!"
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all disperse!"
When the lieutenants saw this, they didn't say much and retreated one after another.
Soon, only Xu Mingfeng and Wu Ziyang were left in the military account, and they fell into unprecedented silence.
Time passes minute by minute...
After a while, Wu Ziyang said: "Second Prince..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Mingfeng interrupted, "I know what you want to say!"
Wu Ziyang stopped talking and nodded.
Xu Mingfeng continued: "I have resisted the order once before. If I refuse to send troops this time, my father will think that I will rebel!"
Wu Ziyang responded, "If you send troops, not only will your status in the country be affected, but those who follow you to the death will also be heartbroken!"
"If the Northern Army becomes a remnant army, no one will be afraid of it anymore!"
"Second Prince, there are some things you must not do!"
"One more thing, there is an irreparable estrangement between you and Nanhuang. Once the army in hand is gone, the prince's status will inevitably be in doubt, and he may even lose his life. Just to influence the whole body!"
These words are spoken from the bottom of my heart.
Xu Mingfeng was stunned for a moment and made a decision immediately, "Well, I know what to do!"
Wu Ziyang bowed slightly and said, "The second prince is wise!"
"I will follow you to the death..."
Just like that, the night passed.
The next day, Xu Mingji opened his eyes and saw Xu Mingfeng sitting in front of him...
"Second brother!"
Xu Mingfeng had no expression on his face, "Brother, go back! I thought about it all night yesterday and decided that there is no need to send troops! By the way, say hello to my father for me!"
Drop these words and leave directly.
Xu Mingji was in a daze for a moment before he realized, "Second brother..."
