Chapter 502

Li Xian was woken up by the servant girl in the middle of the night; of course it was very unpleasant to be woken up after sleeping until midnight; but when he heard the results of the battle between Xiao Guo and Cai Guo, Li Xian's anger flew away.

The entire Shang Kingdom held a meeting overnight to discuss this situation.

There are three main things discussed:

First, help Xiao Guo to support the scene, and not let Cai Guo destroy Xiao Guo.

Second, we swallow Xiao Guo ourselves.

Third, leave this matter to Li Yulong regardless of whether you ask or not.

Everyone had a lively discussion, each with their own reasons.

The quarrel lasted until dawn, but everyone still didn't come up with a good opinion; the main reason is that Li Xian is a little unsure about paying attention now, this happened too suddenly, and what everyone said is very reasonable.

The reason for supporting the Xiao Kingdom is very simple - we cannot allow a unified country to emerge in the northwest, we must allow the Xiao Kingdom and the Cai Kingdom to exist at the same time.

The reason for swallowing the country of Xiao is more straightforward: the kingdom of Shang is a "slender waist" in Guangling County, and the kingdom of Shang should be swallowed to make up for the weak link here and increase the strategic depth here.

As for the suggestion thrown to Li Yulong, it makes more sense - after all, the northwest is directly bordered by the Tang Dynasty. Why are we talking about it? Eat salty radish and don't worry about it. So many things need to be handled by you, the sage king. This is a small matter. It's really not worth mentioning. If it really doesn't work, let's just throw a few "thunder shakers" over there.

Each has its own reasons, and they can't persuade each other, and everyone is arguing so loudly. Li Xian's head exploded when he heard it. I finally understand why many emperors don't like to discuss. Right now it's really torture, it's noisier than a thousand ducks, and you have to listen carefully, and you can't block your ears!

But soon, Li Xian didn't have to worry about it anymore, Li Yulong contacted Li Xian directly, his tone was more urgent, "Hurry up, send me all the planes, I want to swallow Cai Guo and Xiao Guo in one go.

Been waiting years for this opportunity! "

Li Yulong's voice was very loud, and Li Xian didn't do a good job of covering it up, and the whole conference hall was suddenly quiet.

"Ahem!" Xu Ren hurriedly reminded everyone, and of course he also reminded Li Xian: "Master, it seems that His Majesty already has a plan."

Li Xian finally came to his senses, and the first thought that came to him was Li Xian sighed: Jiang is really old and spicy, Li Yulong actually predicted today a few years ago! Well, if I have the opportunity to ask my father for advice in the future, Li Xian is very envious of this vision and resourcefulness.

If we also have this vision, this business plan will definitely go more smoothly.

Afterwards, Li Xian asked Cheng Jiming, commander of the air force, to personally lead most of the available air force and aircraft to the Kingdom of Shang.

…………

However, in Chen Guo, today is the fourth day that the crown prince is officially in charge of the government, and Chen Guo already knows that a new political storm will be staged in Chen Guo.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, even the most stable transition can't completely put an end to this matter. The new emperor will inevitably have new measures; and some people around the prince have long followed, and these people will inevitably be reused. If someone is reused, someone will be demoted!

Therefore, when the situation in the east of Yingzhou was turbulent, political storms were also brewing within Chen. Fortunately, after all, it was a smooth transition, so the storm shouldn't be too big.

Today, Chen Guo has two things.

First, Zhang's father and son, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan, who had fled for several days, finally led their family members to escape to Chen State and entered the palace. Now, Zhang Quan and Zhang Yuan are waiting outside the hall, waiting to be summoned.

The second is the matter of Cai Guo. Cai Guo's Jedi counterattack this time stunned almost everyone. Who would have thought that Cai Guo, who was already weak, would suddenly wake up!

Perhaps only Li Yulong noticed the clue and waited quietly.

In short, Cai Guo's sudden outbreak disrupted the deployment of many countries, including Chen Guo of course.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and the most discussed was naturally the matter of Cai Guo; but when discussing Cai Guo, it was inevitable to discuss the Eastern Tang Kingdom and even the Shang Kingdom.

During the discussion, Emperor Chen turned his head to look: "What does the prince think?"

The prince knows that the opportunity to perform has come, and of course this is also a test. "My son believes that both Cai Guo and Xiao Guoguo will lose, and Tang and Shang will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

We should unite with Zheng Guo and Deng Guo in the north and make preparations. When necessary, troops need to be sent to support one of the countries.

Even, if things get out of hand, we have to simply send troops and expand the territory.

Also, we wanted to know more about Shang Kingdom and Xiao Kingdom, and there happened to be two people waiting to be summoned.

Erchen believes that the Zhang family can be recruited. Although this family has the experience of betraying the Great Xia Kingdom, they don't have much ambition. Especially Zhang Quan, who grew up with Li Xian, may be the best candidate for us to deal with the Shang Kingdom. "

Emperor Chen nodded. Prime Minister Yuan Shouzhi immediately understood, "Declarate Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan to enter the palace."

Zhang Yuan, Zhang Quan, and his son paid homage to Emperor Chen. After asking some simple questions, Emperor Chen pushed the two to the prince's side.

The prince understood, knowing that it was his father who asked him to subdue these two and become his team, of course he did not hesitate. "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Quan, the two of you are quite familiar with industry and commerce. Now that Yingzhou Dongfang is influenced by the Shang Kingdom, industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and there is a need for talents in this field.

Temporarily appoint Zhang Yuan as the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, Zhang Quan, please come to my side and be an industrial and commercial consultant first. "

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, their greatest expectation was nothing more than: Guo Chen was willing to accept them instead of sending them back to Xiao Kingdom or sending them to Shang Kingdom. That was enough. Now that it's reused, it should be fine.

But it is not easy to get reused. Next, in the court hall of the Kingdom of Chen, the emperor, prince, and officials kept asking about matters related to the Kingdom of Shang, industry and commerce. It is like treating Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan father and son as "information extraction machines", and there is almost no respect at all.

After the questioning, Emperor Chen directly sent the two of them away, saying that he was helping them to arrange a place to stay, but in fact he was expelling them from the hall, so they should not participate in the following discussion.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan, father and son, are of course angry, but now they can only bear it silently. It is already very good that they are like bereaved dogs. They can be taken in and reused. As for the issue of respect and trust, it depends on the father and son to work hard in the future.

After Zhang Yuan and Zhang Quan left, Crown Prince Chen made a decision with the emperor's permission: "First, send people to Zheng Guo and Deng Guo to convey our intention to unite.

Second, prepare the army for war.

Third, after all, we have signed an offensive and defensive mutual assistance agreement with Shang Kingdom, and sent people to Shang Kingdom to ask. Even if it's useless, you can't make Li Xian too comfortable! "
