Zhan Huazhao shook his head and said solemnly: "What the young prince said is reasonable. I am afraid that I have been deceived by the Song family's blindness. When the young prince said it today, the general will feel more and more suspicious. I will have to do it again in the future."
Let’s take a look. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
"It is useless to speculate. We will wait until Yuzhou and his party arrive before making a decision.
The Western Prefecture has just been settled, and there is no sign of Meng Jue sending troops yet. If Song Yayu wants to rebel, he will not do so in the past two years."
Zhan Huazhao nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "My young prince, if we go to Yuzhou on this trip, there is one person in the Song family who we must guard against."
"Song Wuque?"
Zhan Huazhao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Song family's young master has always had a reputation for talent, but because of his reputation, others will naturally become wary.
The last general is talking about a person in the dark. This person’s martial arts skills are unknown, but his intelligence and strategy are probably better than those of Song Yayu. The success of the Song family in Lingnan is inseparable from this person.”
Li Luo was stunned and asked: "Yu Hongyan?"
Zhan Huazhao replied in shock: "The young prince knows about her?"
"I've only heard people talk about her, but I haven't noticed anything amazing about Mrs. Song."
Zhan Huazhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if the young prince remembers Princess Funing?"
"Princess Funing? Brother Zhan is talking about Princess Funing who married far away from Yuzhou and unfortunately died in a foreign land?"
"Exactly, when the princess got married, the young prince was still young. Less than a year after Song Yayu married Princess Funing, Princess Funing fell ill and died in a foreign country."
"Well, I know about this. I have met Princess Funing several times. She is gentle and elegant. She is very loved by the Holy Emperor and my father. She is also very good to me.
Brother Zhan mentioned it today, is there any hidden secret in it?"
Li Luo looked at Zhan Huazhao and his expression turned cold. Even when he guessed that the Song family had more than 100,000 troops, he had never been so cold before.
Zhan Huazhao didn't notice Li Luo's strange look and replied in a deep voice: "Back then, the prince was ordered to command the Tongnan camp. In addition to monitoring the Song family's actions, he also had a secret order to find out the cause of Princess Funing's death.
puzzle.
I will eventually live up to the prince's great trust. I haven't found out anything in the past few years, but I have learned another secret.
In the past, Shen Xiangdong's army was not as large as the rumored 100,000, but it was still quite a lot. They were spread across the southeast of Dagan, and they were the same for a while, and they had the potential to overwhelm the Song family.
Originally, Song Yayu and Shen Xiangdong were in secret communication. For Shen Xiangdong to be so powerful, the Song family had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
Later, the Song family made a counterattack and captured Shen Xiangdong. Song Yayu even took the title of King of the South and led the people of the South Mansion.
The Song family's plan of taking advantage of it was the work of Yu Hongyan.
This woman strategizes, guides Tiannan, and watches all the drama with a cold eye, which is really true.
For so many years, people in the world only knew that Song Yayu had a wife who was as beautiful as a fairy, but they didn't know that this woman was so scheming that even the Dagan royal family was probably involved in her scheme.
If there is only one Song Yayu in the Song family, it will only be a wealthy family at most. But with this woman here, tsk tsk, the Song family will have the opportunity to become the world leader. Among the six major aristocratic families now, I am afraid no one can match her."
Li Luo listened carefully, and was also surprised. He pondered for a long time and said slowly: "If this is the case, we should plan earlier.
I had heard that Mrs. Song was quite resourceful, but she was just above the world, so I didn't take it to heart. After listening to Brother Zhan's words today, I realized that was not the case. It was me who despised her.
However, the Song family is so powerful that it may not necessarily be the first family in Dagan. There is also the Tang family in Shuzhou."
Zhan Huazhao nodded repeatedly and said in a deep voice: "What the young prince said makes sense. The Tang family has never acted in a secretive manner, but its background is unfathomable. It is indeed as capable as the Song family."
Li Luo responded softly and said calmly: "When Princess Funing died in Lingnan, was there really a hidden secret?"
"This, I really don't know, the prince guessed that Princess Funing's death was caused by Song Yayu's plot, so he ordered me to visit secretly. The Song family is very tight-lipped about this matter, and not many people know the inside story.
However, although this woman Yu Hongyan was amazingly talented and beautiful, she seemed to be quite jealous. Song Yayu was a charming and suave person who caused a lot of affairs when she traveled around the world in the past, but these women rarely ended up well.
There is a rumor that Yu Hongyan secretly killed her. I don’t know whether the rumor is true or not, but it is true that Song Yayu never took any concubines except for Yu Hongyan’s wife.”
Li Luo's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't answer.
Zhan Huazhao suddenly remembered something, approached Li Luo, and whispered: "Little prince, there is one more thing. The Song family has a large-scale fleet in Cang'er and Minan, which travels all over the world for trade. It is said to be very impressive.
"
Li Luo frowned and asked in surprise: "Navy Master?"
Zhan Huazhao nodded and said: "Although we are called a caravan, once the army is in chaos, we can change the flag and join the battle."
Li Luo looked at Zhan Huazhao blankly and replied helplessly: "Brother Zhan, does he know how to fight in water?"
"Water battle!? To be honest, young prince, even the most advanced generals don't know how to fight in water. How dare they say they know how to fight on water?"
After saying that, seeing the bitter look on Li Luo's face, Zhan Huazhao asked carefully: "Does the young prince know how to fight in water?"
Li Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly, Da Gan's army has never attached great importance to naval forces. In the past, Taizu had millions of troops when he was campaigning all over the world, but the number of naval forces was less than a mere 100,000.
After the founding of Dagan, although there were some naval forces in the Dongfu areas and on the rivers and lakes in order to eliminate the border bandits, they were all unsuccessful. It was rare to hear that a naval general could be promoted to the rank of General Guide.
Li Luo studied military science since he was a child, mostly focusing on horse, chariot, and infantry warfare. He may have dabbled in water warfare, but he never put any effort into it. If Song Yayu had understood the weaknesses of Dagan's army and worked hard to manage the Tiannan Navy, he would have
It will be a disaster.
Li Luo and Zhan Huazhao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The Song family's navy seemed to be in a good state. If the two armies were to fight, it would be another variable.
Zhan Huazhao was quite discouraged and sighed: "Raising tigers is a disaster. Alas, the people in the court only see the Song family's gold and silver treasures and gentle beauties, but fail to see Song Yayu's wolfish ambitions. One day he will become a subordinate."
Prisoner, it's too late to regret."
"Not only in the court, but also in the harem, the Song family has considerable support. Brother Zhan, Chen Bingyizhou, you have to be more careful."
Zhan Huazhao smiled bitterly and said: "In Song Yayu's eyes, the general is just a reckless man, not a big figure. The only person he fears is the prince, but today, it is time to add the young prince."
Li Luo shook his head, smiled softly, and said calmly: "If you can meet the world-famous King Nan, it will be a worthwhile trip."
"It's just that the young prince is worried that Song Yayu will secretly kill him, so he must be on guard."
"I have no choice but to do it. In a few years, if I don't go to the south, I won't have the chance to enter Yuzhou again.
However, I expect that Song Yayu will not turn against him for now. The Dagan Dynasty is weak, but its military strength is still there. If I die in Tiannan, the Song family will inevitably be involved. With my father’s Dingbei army and Xifu Mu Tianlang, Song Yayu
If you want to raise troops to rebel, this is not a good opportunity.
For the current plan, Song Yayu will definitely recharge his batteries. Once the army in Beifu is in chaos, or if the princes in Zhongfu become kings, it will be Song Yayu who sends out troops. The rise and fall of Dagan will depend on the battle with the Mengjue."
