"Your Highness, King Yan has plans to enter Bianzhou recently and is already making preparations." Seng Fan said in a low voice.
Zhao Jin nodded slightly, he was reading a booklet.
It was also a coincidence that the zhezi in Zhao Jin's hand happened to be the zhezi handed over by King Yan, requesting to enter the capital.
"He has already handed over the fold."
Zhao Jin took up his pen and wrote the word "zhun" which means dragons are flying and phoenixes are dancing.
"I used two reasons. One is that I knew about the war in Maku Castle and raised 50,000 koku of food to be transported here."
"Second, I want to visit Zhao Qian."
At this time, there were only Zhao Jin and Seng Fan in the hall, so he didn't bother to avoid taboos and called Zhao Qian by his first name.
"Your Highness, will it easily cause trouble if King Yan enters the capital?"
Seng Fan saw Zhao Jin put the folds aside into the pile of already processed folds after approving the word "accurate", and couldn't help but ask.
"No." Zhao Jin didn't even raise his head, "It would be strange if King Yan never asked to enter the capital."
"There have been several twists and turns in Bianzhou City. Zhao Qian fell into a coma and was left alone to take charge of the government affairs. Not long ago, there were drastic reforms."
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "It's strange that the princes in these places can still sit still."
"Just wait, not only King Yan, but other princes will also find reasons to come to the capital one after another."
"Besides," Zhao Jin clicked on King Yan's note, "Zhao Qian is seriously ill and they want to visit the capital. If he doesn't allow it, it will make them suspicious."
"It will be even more troublesome then."
Seng Fan frowned. Since ancient times, when princes came to Beijing, they always caused trouble.
It is both the prince testing the emperor and the emperor testing the prince.
Things have been numerous and complicated recently, and with the prince's arrival in Beijing, it seems there will be no peace again.
"Your Highness, should we prepare in advance?"
"Don't worry so much," Zhao Jin raised his head and glanced at Seng Fan. When he saw his solemn expression, he couldn't help laughing. He moved his wrist slightly, holding the brush with his fingers, and tilted the top of the pen holder to the side according to the strength, and clicked on the fold. .
"King Yan is the most law-abiding of these princes. He won't do anything."
There are two issues: plague and flood control. Given King Yan's gentle temperament, it is no surprise that he will be on his side.
As for the only possible accident, Zhao Qian's coma, except for the last push, he did not intervene in the whole process. Even with this last push, Zhao Jin took care of himself.
"The first one to enter the capital is King Yan, which is a good thing."
Zhao Jin shook his head, "Any prince who enters the capital with a bad temper, or a prince with ulterior motives, or who makes frequent moves, will have to be punished."
"But as soon as this news spreads, these princes already don't trust Gu Gu who is now in power, and are worried that Gu Gu will attack them. This will only make them more vigilant."
However, King Yan was kind and gentle, so Zhao Jin did not need to worry about intimidation, as long as he was comforted and appeased.
This will also make the other princes feel more at ease.
"As for preparation."
Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his gentle gaze became sharper, "Pay attention to those aristocratic families, lest they struggle to the death and find King Yan."
"yes."
Since the conflict between Li Long and Zhao over envoys last time, there has been no other action.
The news of the war spread a lot, but the Lilong Kingdom remained silent and huddled in the city.
If Chen Xiao had not discovered that Lilong State's troops had arrived in Gaochang City and released the news, I am afraid that the news that Lilong State was about to go to war would have been questioned as to whether it was true or false.
"Pass it, please spread the word to me, General." Chen Xiao snorted, "Just say that we found out that the army of the Lilong Kingdom has arrived at Gaochang City and will attack Mucheng in the near future."
Huang Chunhu responded.
A guerrilla general in the tent scratched his head and said, "General, what should I do if these idiots from the Long Kingdom still can't come out?"
"They will attack Mucheng soon, we can take a preemptive strike." Chen Xiao grinned and smiled.
Look cunning.
"We spread the news today, and then we take the initiative to attack tomorrow. We can't just be passively beaten all the time, right?"
The next day.
As soon as the sky dawned, the city gate of Mucheng opened, and three huge metal lumps were slowly transported out of the city.
Surrounding the metal lump are Zhao's soldiers.
Chen Xiao clamped his horse's belly, his eyes were full of energy, and he headed directly towards Gaochang City!
The distance between the two cities was not that far. When Chen Xiao and others had walked halfway, the soldiers on the tower of Gaochang City discovered their traces.
The entire Gaochang City moved quickly, and all soldiers were on high alert.
After hearing the news reported by the scouts, Chen Xiao raised his lips and smiled, "Lilong Kingdom's response was really slow."
If Gu Mu heard this, he would probably get angry and start a fight with Chen Xiao on the spot.
After all, without tools such as binoculars, Chen Xiao intercepted and killed the spies and scouts of the Lilong Kingdom. Gaochang City was able to discover the Zhao *** team at this distance, and then quickly imposed a martial law. It was already well-trained.
Already.
"Let's go, let's wait for a while with this wolfish ambition to establish the Long Kingdom."
When the Zhao army arrived at the gate of Gaochang City, Chen Xiao did not get too close and kept a certain distance.
When Gu Mu, who was standing on the tower, saw this scene, his heart tightened slightly, and he understood Chen Xiao's plan almost instantly.
"No, he's going to use explosives."
Moreover, there is...
Gu Mu looked at the three huge metal lumps in the middle of Zhao's team and frowned, "What are these?"
"This, we didn't see this thing the last time we fought with Zhao."
Gu Mu's expression was very ugly, "If it can be transported to the battlefield, this thing must be very powerful."
However, they don't even know what these are, let alone looking for weaknesses.
"Is the water ready?" Gu Mu turned to ask the lieutenant behind him.
"General, don't worry, it's better than a pig." Although the deputy general looked tense, he was more relaxed than Gu Mu, and even comforted Gu Mu, "General, don't worry, we have dug the trench."
"As long as the Zhao *** team advances a little further, they will look better."
After saying that, the deputy general put his head in to confirm something, then retracted his head and said: "Besides, there is a trench blocking it. With Zhao's explosives, there is no way to throw them here from the other side of the trench."
"Um."
Gu Mu responded, just as the deputy general said, there shouldn't be any problem, but he was always a little panicked.
It seemed like something beyond imagination was about to happen.
Chen Xiao looked at the strange ground in front of him, sneered, and said mockingly: "His Royal Highness has mastered this trick, but they dare to use it without explosives."
There was no explosives in Li Long's hands. Even if Zhao tried to fill up the trench, there was nothing Li Long could do during this period. At most, he could only support and buy some time.
The ancient trees on the city tower obviously understand this truth.
