Chapter 298: The inside should be combined with the outside, the goal is too close
Just as Bai Yutian expected, Dachuan Kingdom did indeed hide a conspiracy.
However, they did not want to flank Kou Wang, but chose to attack Huanglong directly.
This was definitely beyond everyone's expectations, even Bai Yutian could not have imagined it.
Although Tailin City had experienced some things before, resulting in some losses to the city guard battalion and the imperial army.
However, Tailin City now has at least more than 80,000 garrison troops who can be used to defend Tailin City.
Moreover, the morale of the more than 80,000 defenders was high, and with Bai Yutian personally commanding them, their combat effectiveness was very strong.
If you want to attack Tailin City, you will need to send at least 200,000 troops.
However, no matter how tyrannical the Okawa Kingdom is, they will never be able to secretly send out an army of 200,000.
These ten thousand elites are already their limit.
No one could have imagined that Dachuan Kingdom would actually plan to attack Tailin City with these ten thousand men.
If the Dachuan Kingdom wants to succeed, it must find internal support and cooperate with the internal support and external support to allow Tailin City to collapse without attack.
Therefore, Ming Gaochi was targeted by them.
And just by chance, Kou Wang's cronies had arrived near Tailin City.
After some investigation, Fuzhou's people discovered the clues and were immediately overjoyed.
Ming Gaochi has enough prestige and connections to become their internal agent.
At this time, Ming Gaochi was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
It was true that he was against Bai Yutian, but he had no intention of letting Da Zhou perish directly.
After all, Min Gaochi had assisted three generations of emperors, and his heart was still full of loyalty to Zhou Dynasty.
"Haha, it seems that Lord Min didn't think it through well."
Ming Gaochi's expression suddenly changed. Before he could tear the envelope in his hand, the man in black sucked it away with his inner energy.
The handle was manipulated, and Ming Gaochi was like fish on the knife board, ready to be slaughtered.
"Cooperate with us, and when Dachuan replaces Dazhou, you can retain your family's status and power."
Seeing that Ming Gaochi refused to let go, the man in black quickly offered a major temptation.
Ming Gaochi looked shocked. He had worked hard for so long, even at the risk of being beheaded, just to make the family stronger.
If the Min family could exist and its status remained unchanged, wouldn't it be the same who would take charge of this country?
Motivated by such thoughts, Ming Gaochi agreed to the man in black's conditions like a ghost.
"good!"
"Tomorrow is your eightieth birthday. Considering your prestige and connections, there should be many people coming to congratulate you."
"When the time comes, we need you to trap all these people in the Min Mansion, and then let your people open the city gate to welcome the elite of Dachuan Kingdom."
Those who can come to attend Ming Gaochi's birthday are either rich or noble in Tailin City, and they are all top-level people.
Therefore, they could not only allow the army to enter Tailin City, but also capture these people and make the Zhou Dynasty court use rat weapons.
Ming Gaochi's eyes were crazy. When things got to this point, he had no choice but to keep going.
Now that it has been exposed, there is nothing we can do.
Moreover, Yu Xiaodong and others who came to participate in the peace talks will leave Tailin City tomorrow.
These people seemed to have left Tailin City, but in fact they were directing the attack on Tailin City by these 10,000 elites.
When the negotiation ended, it was already evening. After having dinner, Bai Yutian started walking in the imperial garden.
Behind him, there were also a group of ministers.
Bai Yutian came here not so much for a walk, but as a way to relax.
This time the peace talks are over, Bai Yutian doesn't know how long it can be delayed. He just hopes that Kou Wang and others can make arrangements in time and make complete preparations.
"How long will it take for the food to be delivered?" Bai Yutian looked at the starry sky and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, if nothing else happens, it will be delivered tomorrow." Lu Zhiren, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly replied.
He kept praying in his heart that there must be no problem with the food transportation this time, otherwise, he, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, would be finished.
Above the sky, the stars shine, and the moonlight is like water.
Bai Yutian sighed in his heart, the ancients had the ability to observe the sky at night, it would be great if he had such capable people in Zhou Dynasty.
Not only can we predict good or bad luck, but we can at least predict the weather.
As for the observation of astronomical phenomena, it seems to be recorded in the Yin Yang family. This is also a very mysterious existence in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
According to ancient records, even Zhou Sheng Emperor did not completely eliminate the Yin Yang family.
Bai Yutian looked at the sky. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something was going to happen tomorrow.
"What day is tomorrow?" Suddenly, Bai Yutian turned around and asked.
This question immediately confused everyone. Tomorrow is just an ordinary day.
There is no need to worship ancestors or pray for blessings, and it is not even a festival.
Suddenly, Liu Chun, the Minister of Rites, had an idea and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the eightieth birthday of Mr. Min Gaochi Min."
Although the relationship between Bai Yutian and Ming Gaochi was not very good, Ming Gaochi was a veteran of three dynasties, and even the original Gu Taizhong did not dare to offend him.
Therefore, Ming Gaochi still has a great influence in everyone's hearts.
Hearing Liu Chun's words, Bai Yutian suddenly remembered that tomorrow was indeed Ming Gaochi's eightieth birthday, and he even said that he would go to celebrate his eightieth birthday.
In this era, it is very rare for an old man to live to be eighty years old.
"That's right." Bai Yutian slapped his forehead and forgot about it.
Ming Gaochi has gone too far recently. I am afraid Ming Gaochi was involved in the Jiangbei incident.
Bai Yutian's heart ignited with anger. He planned to visit Ming Gaochi tomorrow and beat him on the way.
As for the person who contacted the bandits, Bai Yutian has asked Kou Wang to investigate at all costs. As long as he traces the clues related to Ming Gaochi, Bai Yutian will never show mercy and will get rid of Ming Gaochi immediately.
The withdrawal of troops from Huaizhou and the disastrous defeat of Zhou Dynasty have always been a pain in Bai Yutian's heart.
"Eunuch Lin, go and get ready. I'm going to attend Min Aiqing's birthday tomorrow." Bai Yutian said with a smile.
Everyone looked puzzled. Isn't the relationship between Min Gaochi and Bai Yutian not good? Why is Bai Yutian still so enthusiastic?
"Okay, dear friends, there is nothing going on for the time being. You can leave."
After hearing Bai Yutian's words, everyone slowly dispersed.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to Ming Gaochi's eightieth birthday party tomorrow?"
After everyone left, Zhao Chuxue asked in confusion.
She looked unhappy and called Ming Gaochi by his first name.
She saw all Ming Gaochi and Bai Yutian's lack of dealing with them.
To her, anyone who goes against Bai Yutian is not a good person.
"I haven't broken up with him yet. The friendship between monarch and minister will continue. Moreover, I will also give him a beating tomorrow."
Bai Yutian's heart was full of sorrow. He was a veteran of three dynasties and had worked hard and achieved great results. If it weren't for these recent events, why would he have to stand on the opposite side and fight with equal power?
Bai Yutian wanted to abolish the prefect, but Min Gaochi insisted on keeping the prefect, which even triggered a series of subsequent events. There was no room for relaxation between the two parties.
