Chapter 1559 Returning Like an Arrow

"So, we have to kill the Emperor of Zhou first... When the Emperor of Zhou dies, whether the regent is on guard or wants to take revenge, it will take time to mobilize the troops... so we will have room. Free up your hands and feet to deal with the regent!" King Xiping said slowly, "Of course, it would be best to kill the couple together! That will save a lot of worries."

"Why not wait in ambush for the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty first, and then notify the regent... If the regent is really the husband of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, he will definitely come to Gyangze City to help like before, then... we can catch them all in one fell swoop!" The counselor suggested.

"I'm afraid it won't work! Maybe I won't catch the prey in the end, but I will be injured by the prey instead!" King Xiping put the tea cup aside, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to warm the fire.

"Your Majesty is very worried!" Counselor Xuanyi said, "Our regent, Murong Yan, is also very good at using troops. You can know a thing or two from watching the previous destruction of Xiliang, but before, he was unable to do everything in one place... The Emperor When you are young, you have to be pulled by the government and fight at the same time. It is inevitable that your energy will be distracted! Now if you want to save your wife... that will be different. The regent may make a desperate move! After all... if the Emperor of Zhou dies, he, the emperor, will The husband's identity is not yet known, and his son is still in a state of babble and learning. He is unable to take power and will be replaced by the princes of the Zhou Dynasty at any time. He might not even be left alive! This is probably not in line with the plans and interests of the regent. Matches."

"Well..." King Xiping did not open his eyes, but turned his hands back and forth, "To put it bluntly, this matter is simple. The vassal kings all agreed to kill Murong Yan and the Emperor of Zhou, so... we will be responsible for the Emperor of Zhou, and others will be responsible. Murong Yan!"

Otherwise, why would they send out the Xiping Army, and the benefits would have to be shared among everyone? This is a bit unreasonable.

"But if the neighboring vassal prince is responsible, I am afraid that the troop deployment will not be hidden from the regent!" A counselor said worriedly.

"What does that have to do with us!" King Xiping's lips curled up into a smile. He had already made a clear plan in his mind, "They mobilized troops to find the regent. The regent must be on guard. We are here. If you move quietly towards the Emperor of Zhou, you can catch the Emperor of Zhou by surprise. The best thing is that the Emperor of Zhou knows that Murong Yan is in trouble and divides his troops to rescue... Then it will be easier for us to deal with the Emperor of Zhou! It’s a good thing for our Xiping Army!”

As soon as King Xiping finished speaking, he heard the slight sound of red carbon sparks exploding in the brazier.

"Even if the Emperor of Zhou is a cruel person and will not divide his troops to rescue the regent Murong Yan, as far as we are concerned, as long as the regent is held back by others, we will have no worries!" King Xiping continued.

Putting aside the relationship between husband and wife, and simply talking about interests, the regent's child is in Dazhou, and the nominal biological father is dead. Emperor Bai Qingyan of Dazhou has too many capable younger brothers and sisters. If Bai Qingyan dies... The regent's plan to dominate the world through his child was shattered, and the child's life might not even be saved.

Therefore, the regent had a reason to save the Emperor of Zhou!

However, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had no reason to save the Regent other than the relationship between husband and wife.

Seizing this point to discuss with other vassal kings, King Xihuai has done the most dangerous thing. If they can't even handle this little thing, how can they share the benefits? Just because they are also named Murong?

Ha... King Xiping is not that little emperor who is reasonable and cares about love.

After making up his mind, King Xiping said: "That's it, send someone to deliver a message to the nearby vassal king quickly. I don't care who will deal with the regent, but someone must kill the regent, otherwise... the Xiping army is here They did not take action during the war with Dazhou. I am surrounded by enemies from both sides. When the time comes, I will lead the Xiping Army to surrender to the regent. Then the regent will ask me to attack them. Even if I care about the friendship with my clan, for the sake of my family and peace I don’t even care about the lives of my fellow brothers.”

"I will write the letter!" Counselor Xuanyi said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Okay... let's send someone to keep an eye on it! I'm afraid the heavy snow won't stop one day, and it will definitely delay the Emperor Zhou's journey. There is still time to send the letter to other vassal kings, as soon as the Emperor Zhou leaves In Danzhou ahead, our Xiping Army went to set up an ambush."

"Yes!" The counselors and generals in the room responded one after another.

In the wind and snow, the fast horses from Xiping Prince's Mansion went to the four city gates in four directions and galloped away...

·

It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, and on the morning of the fifth day, there were finally signs of clearing up.

The golden light penetrates the thinnest edge of the clouds, as if coating the thick clouds with a dazzling golden edge.

Liu Pinggao and Lu Yuanpeng knew that Bai Qingyan would definitely set off as soon as the wind and snow stopped, so they began to ask the soldiers to pack up and prepare to set off.

The snowy road was difficult, but we were on our way home. None of the soldiers complained and happily packed up their things. Some even carried sweet potatoes cooked in ashes to eat on the way.

In the mansion, Wei Zhong stepped in from outside the snow-green quilted door curtain and saw through the screen that Bai Qingyan had put on a very fluffy cloak. After saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."

"Eldest sister is riding a horse today! Eunuch Wei said that the snow scenery is good, and it's nice to see along the way..." Bai Jinzhi came out from behind the painting screen first, with an azure cloak hanging in his arms, looking in a good mood.

Bai Qingyan passed through the hanging curtain, walked around the screen and came out: "Ride back on horseback, you don't have to protect the carriage, and you can march faster!"

"Your Majesty misses the Queen Mother, the little prince, and the little princess, and is about to return home!" Wei Zhong said with a smile, and then saluted, "Old slave, go get ready now!"

The general who defended the city and the county magistrate of Bianliang City sent Bai Qingyan outside the city. Before leaving, Bai Qingyan repeatedly told him to take good care of the people. He also told the general who defended the city sent by Dazhou that he would trouble him to take care of the people here again. People for more than two years.

The general who defended the city responded repeatedly and watched the army led by Bai Qingyan disappear into the vast white before turning around and returning to the city.

Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingjue had previously divided their troops to go to various cities to appease the people. This time they returned to Shequ together, met in Shequ and then returned to Dazhou together.

Here in Bianliang City, not long after the army led by Bai Qingyan set out, the spies who had been waiting outside the city for a long time found out that the army led by Qingyan and his men was less than 10,000, and immediately went back to report to King Xiping.

The Xiping Army was already on the alert, and when it was just dark, the spies he sent out came back and reported the strength of the troops Bai Qingyan led this time.

"This is also strange! The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty came to Yan State not to fight, but he brought quite a lot of troops..."
