"Your Highness is so kind, I am so grateful that I can't help but respect the king's order!"
"However, in troubled times, it is difficult to decide on the deployment plan, and your highness needs to be inspired by your kindness. Therefore, I ask your highness to send troops to wipe out the raging ghosts in the north. This can make the soldiers and civilians in the north return to their hearts!"
"Although it is difficult for me, I am still willing to send troops to help Your Highness!"
In the Pingshan government office, Zhao Yanxun held a letter in his hand and read it while walking in the lobby. There were several officers standing on the left and right.
"I have a sincere heart, and I hope His Highness will learn from it!"
Putting the letter away, Zhao Yanxun put it on the big case, crossed his arms and said to several people in the hall: "Liu Shili asked our army to send troops to help them destroy the monsters. What do you think?"
After a few moments of silence in the room, Wang Cheng was heard saying: "Your Majesty issued an edict yesterday, and today Liu Shili came forward to proclaim himself a minister. It seems that this person is willing to surrender to the palace!"
But Fang Sheng asked in reply: "But if he sincerely submitted to the prince, why did he not mention a word about sending a teaching team in the prince's edict?"
After a few moments of silence in the room, Xu Yu guessed: "Maybe this guy doesn't want to surrender, but just uses the excuse of killing monsters to temporarily stabilize us?"
While everyone was discussing, Zhao Yanxun walked behind the desk and looked at the map on the table.
At this time, Xu Yu continued: "According to what he said, if our army can't clean up the monsters, he can drag it on forever!"
Sitting on the seat, Zhao Yanxun was convinced by what Xu Yu said.
He could understand Liu Shili's thoughts very well. No one was willing to hand over the power he had finally grasped in vain.
Even if Zhao Yanxun told him clearly that he would still be allowed to serve as the commander of the capital after surrender, the other party would not believe it easily. It is extremely difficult to establish trust.
What's more, these heroes who have established themselves in troubled times are absolutely self-centered, and no one else will believe them except themselves.
At this time, Cui Xing'an said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that... this guy is just stalling for time!"
"With this method, they can also use us to help them eliminate the monsters in the North!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded. This is the advantage of discussing matters together. Only by brainstorming can we analyze more thoroughly.
Picking up the tea cup, Zhao Yanxun took a sip. Everyone knew that he was going to speak, so they stopped speaking.
Sure enough, after Zhao Yanxun put down the tea cup, he said: "From what you said, I think Liu Shili has no intention of surrendering!"
Picking up the memorial on the table, Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "This person came to this memorial... just to prevaricate the king's edict, and to use the excuse of destroying monsters to join our army!"
So Zhao Yanxun asked: "Then how do you think our army should respond?"
The analysis may be possible, and everyone present can speak freely, but when asked about countermeasures, they should not speak randomly, as this will only lower their own image.
After a few moments of silence, Gao Zhengan was heard saying: "Your Majesty, I thought... we could agree to their request!"
Finally someone spoke, and Zhao Yanxun signaled Gao Zhengan to continue.
"Liu Shili said he is willing to send troops to assist in the suppression. Their army is not good at fighting monsters. In order to reduce their casualties, our army can send a training team to them!"
"If Liu Shili refuses to agree, he will be treating his subordinates' lives as a child's play. Wouldn't he make his subordinates alienated?"
After saying this, Gao Zhengan took a step back and handed over the decision-making power to Zhao Yanxun.
At this time, Cui Xing'an also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Gao Qianhu said makes sense. As long as we send out a training team to eliminate the monsters, we can just send some people to do it. The main force can still deal with the forbidden army with all its strength!"
Liu Shili was prevaricating and perfunctory, but Cui and Gao wanted to use their tactics to counterattack.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yanxun thought it was okay and said: "Then follow your wishes and send a message to Bei'an Prefecture!"
The two sides were scheming against each other, and Zhao Yanxun never imagined that their analysis was in the wrong direction.
Liu Shili wrote this memorial just to cover himself for dispatching troops, so he said he was willing to send troops to assist in the suppression.
In the afternoon, Liu Shili received a "reply letter" from Luo Lun.
Throwing the letter on the table casually, Liu Shili sneered: "This guy surnamed Luo is really verbose. Not only is he just a reply, but he also babbles a lot. I think he means... because he thinks I am not kneeling."
Take this letter!"
Listening to this complaint, Yan Jianzhang did not respond, but asked: "Did King Yong agree?"
Liu Shili replied: "I agreed, and also said that we will send instructors to our troops to teach our brothers how to fight monsters!"
"As long as you agree, then we can mobilize our troops in an open and honest manner!"
Yan Jianzhang said solemnly: "As soon as our people arrive, we can attack together with the Imperial Army and defeat Yong's army. It is not impossible!"
Defeating Yong's army is naturally the best, and even just severely damaging the opponent is still worthwhile, as long as the balance of power can be maintained.
Nodding, Liu Shili said solemnly: "We can't just deal with Yong Jun. Cooperating with Xu Longsheng is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. We still have to guard against them!"
"This time I will personally lead the troops, and you will lead the people to stay in Bei'an Mansion!"
With so many troops out, Liu Shili could only feel relieved if he personally commanded them.
The two Qianhu left behind were younger members of the Liu Shili clan, and Yan Jianzhang was his confidant, so he was relieved.
"Yes!" Yan Jianzhang replied.
On the other side of Bei'an Mansion, Luo Lun was sitting under the eaves and basking in the sun. It was a rare sunny day today.
This should have been a very good time, but now Lauren's face was full of sadness. Unfortunately, no one could talk to him at this time.
"Has this guy suddenly changed his gender?"
"Yesterday, I saw that he had no intention of surrendering, but today he is willing to cooperate with the palace, and he also agreed to send a teaching team..."
According to feedback from Changjin County, after the training team settled in, the morale of Longyou Dusi has been completely renewed, and their loyalty to the palace has initially been established.
Practice has proven that the teaching team model is very effective, so the Privy Council is preparing for the second and third teaching teams.
Regarding the news about Changjin, Luo Lun felt that Liu Shili would know about it and must know what it meant for the teaching team to settle in.
I disagreed yesterday and agreed again today. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster... Luo Lun secretly said.
Sighing, Luo Lun said to the guards in the courtyard: "You guys, please go to Beicheng to find out more news. Liu Shili must have bad intentions!"
"yes!"
"You must hide your whereabouts and don't be discovered by the people of Beidi Dusi!"
"yes!"
In the afternoon, Xu Longsheng, who was waiting for news, finally learned that Liu Shili had sent troops.
Zhu Jihong sat aside and said: "They are sending troops, it's time for us to move too!"
Xu Longsheng shook his head: "Let them move first, and then we will move... Let Prince Yong's Mansion think that we are forced to move troops along!"
"By the way, how confident are those who remain in Bei'an Mansion of seizing the door?"
In Bei'an Prefecture, the Forbidden Army has been operating, and many spies have been sent in one after another.
This time Zhu Jihong went over and brought more than 20 people to the city. Adding those who had been sent into the city before, as well as Wang Chengan's subordinates, there were 70 or 80 people from the Imperial Army in the city.
The key to the success or failure of this attack lies in whether these people can seize the city gate from the inside, so that a quick victory can be achieved.
"At least 70% sure!"
"That's good!"
With a 70% certainty, it was worth risking his life.
