The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 567 Treachery

   It is rumored that the people of Tianji Valley have the ability to assist emperors, and their strategies and methods should not be underestimated.

  The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

  The emergency report from the border came back, and Xuanyuan Qi immediately called the ministers of the court and the middle to the imperial study to discuss matters.

   Seeing Song Jingchen coming in, the atmosphere in the imperial study was a little weird for a while.

   "The foreign minister has seen His Majesty Xuanyuan." Song Jingchen bowed his hands.

   He called himself a foreign minister, which showed that he was standing here as an envoy of Daxia, not a county horse of Xuanyuan State.

   "No ceremony." Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand and looked at a minister kneeling below: "Continue talking."

The minister who was named paused, cast his eyes at Song Jingchen, and said bravely: "Your Majesty, the messenger said that the Wu army has powerful weapons, and now it occupies Lin'an City, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if we finally If it is taken back, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties. I think that the reason why Wu State violated the border is because I don’t want us to participate in the affairs between them and Daxia, as long as we…”

   "Cowardly." A general sneered.

   The face of the interrupted minister changed: "You..."

  The general interrupted him: "Master Zeng, do you mean that our Xuanyuan Kingdom is afraid of him, will Wu Kingdom fail?"

   Mr. Zeng blushed and said angrily, "General Ye, don't spit, when did I say such a thing?"

"Don't you just want to say that as long as we promise not to participate in their affairs, Wu State will retreat? According to you, if they are not satisfied with this and want us to send troops to help him, should we also agree?" Ye The general snorted coldly: "Everyone has already called the door, but they still want to calm down. What's the difference between admitting that our Xuanyuan country is not as good as his Wu country? It's not ashamed."

   Mr. Zeng was speechless when he was blocked, especially Song Jingchen's presence, always made him feel like a white-eyed wolf.

   "Your Majesty." General Ye cupped his hands and said: "The last general is willing to lead the troops to fight, and will definitely retake Lin'an City."

   "Preliminary."

Master Zeng wanted to persuade him again, but Xuanyuan Qi looked over with a cold look: "I promised Master Song before that, as long as he can solve the plague of Fengcheng, I will never abandon Daxia, why do you want me to betray my trust and betray others? "

   Lord Zeng lowered his head: "I dare not."

   Seeing that no one had any more opinions, Xuanyuan Qi appointed General Ye as the main general to lead the army of 200,000 imperial court troops, and ordered several generals to be assistant generals, and set off three days later.

   After the ministers withdrew, Xuanyuan Qi looked at Song Jingchen who said nothing: "In Daxia, I am going to send a hundred thousand troops..."

   "Your Majesty." Song Jingchen said suddenly, "What kind of weapon did the lord just mentioned?"

When    came, Xuanyuan Ziming did not mention it.

   Xuanyuan Qi paused and looked at Eunuch Wu, who was beside him. Eunuch Wu understood and picked up a piece of rice paper from the imperial case and sent it to Song Jingchen.

   Song Jingchen took it and saw a circular object drawn on the rice paper.

   "What is this?" Rao was a man of extensive knowledge, and he didn't see any greatness in something that was as indistinguishable as kickball.

Eunuch Wu said with a heavy face: "Sir Song doesn't know anything, this is a powerful weapon, the people of Wu call it black powder, don't think it's ordinary, just one piece can explode a foot. See the deep crater."

   It can be imagined that if it is thrown on a person...

  Song Jingchen's eyes narrowed, is this Shangguan Yugan's bargaining chip to send troops to both countries at the same time?

   But since the black gunpowder is so powerful, why did the Wu army stop in Lin'an City just to stop the Xuanyuan army from helping Daxia.

   You must know that with this thing, it is difficult for soldiers to get close, and they can directly annihilate Daxia and Xuanyuan in one go.

  Song Jingchen doesn't think that Shangguan Yu has no ambition to unify the Three Kingdoms, even if he doesn't, what about Yan Guangmao and the people from Tianji Valley?

   There is only one possibility for not doing that, and that is the limited black powder...

   He looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and he obviously guessed this.

   "Your Majesty is planning to send another 100,000 troops from Cangbei Mountain to Nanling Pass to join the Daxia army?" Song Jingchen asked.

   Wars consume not only manpower, but also a large amount of food, medicinal materials, weapons and other material support. No matter which country is concerned, it is a matter of labor and money.

   Not to mention, neither of them knew how much black powder the other party had.

   At this time, Xuanyuan Kingdom can indeed choose to negotiate peace and draw a line with Daxia as Lord Zeng said to avoid a temporary war.

   Xuanyuan Qi not only did not do that, but was willing to send a hundred thousand troops to support Daxia.

   Anyone who sees this will praise him for being affectionate and righteous, but Song Jingchen doesn't think so.

   "I can send a maximum of 100,000." Xuanyuan Ce thought he was too few.

   The entire Xuanyuan Kingdom's troops are of course more than that, but the rest are guarded in various borders and in different cities. The borders must be protected from foreigners, and the cities must be protected from civil strife, so they cannot be easily mobilized.

   (I have broken my trust again, tomorrow will be more full!)
