Chapter 337 The Golden Cicada Escapes Her Shell

Huang Fu's voice was calm, but the information he said made Emperor Cai and the officials feel a lot heavier again.

"It's so corrupt!" After hearing what happened to Kumuling, Emperor Cai was very calm. Maybe he was too angry, or maybe he was ashamed.

After Huang Fu finished reading the message, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, at this time, a strong resistance will only lead to self-destruction. I have a plan, and there is a 60% possibility of bringing Cai Guo back to life; but... it is also a bit risky."

"Oh?" Emperor Cai's eyes suddenly brightened, "Say!"

"Your Majesty, the golden cicada sheds its shell before it can soar into the jungle; the white silkworm cocoons before it turns into a butterfly and dances. In the past, Cai Guo was not a golden cicada, or a white silkworm bound in its own cocoon.

I usually tidy up flowers and plants. If there are dead branches and leaves, they should not be attached to them, but should be cut off decisively.

The minister's strategy is to escape the golden cicada's shell and cut off its tail to survive. Take this opportunity to remove the dirt and save the essence, and select the elites who are loyal to His Majesty. Then we abandoned the imperial capital, abandoned all the existing glory and wealth, and left the imperial capital Shangyong City with only talents, elites, loyal troops and a few officials, wealth, technology, books, etc.

In the past, Cai Guo has accumulated evils for a long time, and it is not unreasonable to say that he is terminally ill.

Now, it is the best opportunity for Cai Guo to cut off the rotten branches and leaves, shrink his strength, lie down, and wait for a new transformation. "

Emperor Cai Guo didn't yell pedantically that he would rather die than retreat, but thought carefully about Huang Fu's words, and asked after a long time: "Where are you going to retreat?"

"Three Rivers in the North!" Huang Fu pointed to the three counties northeast of Cai State on the map. "Please look, Your Majesty, the three rivers in the northeast are the three counties of Luochuan, Yongchuan and Tongchuan.

The three rivers have a vast area, more than a thousand miles wide, and they defend each other, forming a self-contained body. Luochuan is in the northwest, and Yongchuan is in the south, and they jointly protect Tongchuan.

Sanchuan's outer terrain is dangerous, but its interior is very rich. It is the granary of Cai Guo. Moreover, red copper has been produced in Tongchuan since ancient times. If the red copper mines there are dug deep, new red copper may be discovered.

In addition, after retreating to Sanchuan, we can completely throw away Cai's existing southern territory, open up the west and northwest frontier defenses, and introduce Zheng State in the west and Deng State in the north to invade.

At that time, Chen Guo, Zheng Guo, Deng Guo, Xiao Liming, Li Yulong, and Li Xian's Anyang will fight for hegemony, and we will take advantage of the opportunity to transform.

As long as five years, we have the ability to counterattack. At that time, the six parties competing for hegemony must have been very exhausted. By then, we will be able to restore the river with ease. "

The hall was quiet, only His Majesty Cai Guo pointed at the table, looking at the map and thinking and deliberating.

Huang Fu's strategy is very feasible. Taking the opportunity, a golden cicada came to escape its shell, and then lurked and degenerated; by the way, the remaining land of Cai Guo was handed over, attracting the attacks of Zheng Guo and Deng Guo, muddying the water. Cai Guo, on the other hand, came with a saying that "it's easy to fish in muddy water".

This method is indeed highly feasible and operable; but again, if the operation is not good, Cai Guo may become a thing of the past—no matter how good the plan is, there will always be various problems in reality.

For example, what if the three rivers in the north rebel? Although Cai Guo has a strong control over the three rivers in the north, because this is Cai Guo's granary; but what if there is a rebellion? You must know that once the "Golden Cicada Escape Shell" plan is started, Cai Guo will have no way out, and he will not be able to withstand any setbacks.

Also, it always takes time to retreat. Retreating with wealth, elites, etc. will definitely be very slow. Then, someone needs to cut back and block the attacks of Anyang, Li Yulong and Xiao Liming.

Huang Fu's eyes were bright, and before His Majesty could speak, Huang Fu fell to his knees in front of Grand Master Cao Guobin with a thud: "Master Cao, now that the country is in crisis, the Taiwei and many generals died in battle; the rest have enough prestige and Only the elders have enough military talent.

On behalf of Your Majesty, I implore the boss to lead the remaining soldiers in Shangyong City to stop the invading army. The wealth of the entire Shangyong City belongs to the boss. "

In the silent hall, it was silent again, this time it was so silent that there was not even a heartbeat.

Huang Fu knelt in front of Cao Guobin, this time he did not bow his knees, but knelt down for the future of Cai Guo. Regardless of what happened to Huang Fu in the past, he even killed the Yan family and used all means, but at least at the national level, this Huang Fu is worthy of being a "loyal minister". In any case, at a time of national crisis, being willing to stand up and make suggestions is worthy of recognition.

It's just that Huang Fu still doesn't change his traitorous nature. Letting Cao Guobin die at this time almost cut off Cao Guobin's way of life! Anyone can imagine that this kind of post-break work is basically death without life.

Avenging private revenge in public, but also showing loyalty; this treacherous minister is not something ordinary people can do. To be exact, treacherous officials are often much smarter than loyal ones. Perhaps, Huang Fu should be regarded as a "capable minister".

Also, Huang Fu's kneeling made Cao Guobin unable to refuse. This kneeling also ruined Cao Guobin's life.

Under the attention of everyone, Cao Guobin's snow-white beard trembled a few times, and finally stood up, "Your Majesty, let the old minister cut off the queen."

Emperor Cai hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, "Teacher, I...zhen..."

For a moment, I was speechless because I didn't know what to say.

At the critical moment, it was still Huang Fu who came out; Huang Fu, who had already got up, returned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is loyal to the country, and we cannot ignore your family. Please, Your Majesty, please be kind and bring your family with you." , enjoying the protection of the Royal Forest Army."

As soon as Huang Fu said this, Cao Guobin's eyes turned sharp - this is called protection, but in fact he is a hostage! Of course, it is indeed protection, but it is also surveillance and hostage.

And what about His Majesty the Emperor? Can't refuse!

First of all, you can't refuse to "protect" Cao Guobin's family - at this time, refusing to protect is the most chilling; second, you must take some hostages to prevent Cao Guobin from doing something sorry for himself on impulse. It should be said that protection is still the first.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall became weird again, Cao Guobin stepped forward. The elder's tone was a bit bleak: "Your Majesty, please take care of the old minister's family."

Emperor Cai Guo stepped down from the dragon case and grabbed Cao Guobin's hand, "Teacher, if... Cai Guo can rise again in the future, the Cao family will be the Duke of the state for generations."

What else could Cao Guobin say. He could only say in a low voice, "I will trouble Your Majesty when I am young."

Emperor Cai Guo went back to the dragon case, took out an imperial decree, and inscribed it in his own handwriting. There were only four words: If I come in person. Then stamp it.

Afterwards, Emperor Cai personally delivered the imperial decree to Cao Guobin, and said: "Teacher, everything in Shangyong City is handed over to the teacher.

In addition, after we are settled in Sanchuan, we will open the northern and northwest borders and introduce Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo. Teachers are also required to prepare. "
