Chapter 387: Poisonous Scheme
Temta walked in the Chanyu's mansion with his head held high. Read
As the son of the Khan of Beidi, he naturally had to show the majesty of the Beidi people in front of the Xiliang people.
Let Xiliang know his position.
"Temta, welcome to you." Entering the hall.
Temta looked at Murong Hao, he did not salute, still standing with his head held high.
The Xiliang generals were silent, and no one dared to rebuke Temu Ta's rudeness.
This was completely different from when he mocked the Dasong envoy just now.
"Thank you." Temu Ta said.
At this moment, Murong Hao suddenly felt that he was neither sitting nor standing.
Coughing, he said: "King Temu Ta came a little late, otherwise you would have seen how I humiliated the Dasong envoy just now."
Temta finally smiled a little, he said: "This is really a pity, but, is the Dasong envoy coming here for the matter of the third prince of Dasong?"
Murong Hao's uneasiness became even worse.
He was more convinced that Temu Ta came this time for the third prince Zhao Mu.
Otherwise, how could Temu Ta know about this?
"That's right, this matter has actually reached the Khan's court?" Murong Hao asked.
Temu Ta nodded.
After Xiliang surrendered, the trade between Beidi merchants and Xiliang became frequent.
There are naturally Beidi spies among these merchants.
But despite this, Beidi has been monitoring Xiliang's movements.
If there is any movement in Xiliang, it can respond in time.
Eight days ago, the news that Xiliang captured the prince of Dasong reached Beidi.
His father Khan immediately summoned him and ordered him to go to Xiliang, use this prince of Dasong to anger Dasong, and force Dasong to take the initiative to attack Xiliang, so as to severely damage Dasong's army this autumn and lay the foundation for entering the Central Plains.
"To be honest, I came here this time for this matter." Temu Ta said seriously.
Murong Hao was slightly angry in his heart, but he tried his best to hide it and kept a smile on his face, "I wonder what advice the Khan has?"
"The Khan ordered you to send the third prince back to Dasong." Temu Ta said.
"What!" Murong Hao suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"You didn't hear it wrong." A sneer appeared on Temuta's lips.
His father Khan said that Xiliang would definitely use the third prince to exchange benefits with Dasong.
Xiliang got Qinzhou and Yongzhou of Dasong. If it gets more benefits, it will be difficult to control.
If Xiliang is asked to send back the third prince of Dasong, Xiliang's calculation will fail.
Of course, they will not just be on guard against Xiliang.
This time he will ask Xiliang to do something to this prince to completely anger the emperor of Dasong and force Dasong to take the initiative to send troops to attack.
In this way, they can annihilate the Dasong army in Qinzhou together with Xiliang. At the same time, they will take Yanguan in the east and kill the King of Yan.
Dasong will inevitably be destroyed!
"Such an important bargaining chip, for nothing like this." Murong Hao could no longer suppress his anger.
Temuta didn't care about Murong Hao's attitude towards him at all.
He hooked his hand, meaning to let the eunuch beside Murong Hao come over.
The eunuch looked at Murong Hao, and when he saw Murong Hao nod, he hurried to Temuta's side.
Temuta whispered something in his ear.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then went back and relayed Temuta's words.
After listening, Murong Hao was stunned for a long time.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Temuta with admiration in his eyes, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes dissipated into nothingness and turned into respect.
"Xiliang Chanyu, this is the Khan's order, not to discuss with you." Temuta said dissatisfiedly when he saw Murong Hao hesitate to speak.
At the same time, he glanced at the Xiliang generals in the hall.
They all avoided his gaze.
"I promise, after the fall of Dasong, I only hope that the Khan will hand over Jincheng to me Xiliang for jurisdiction." Murong Hao said immediately, his face full of flattery, this time Dasong is really going to be finished.
He underestimated the ruthlessness of the Beidi people, and didn't expect that such a sinister idea could be thought of.
"That's very simple." Tiemuta nodded, "It's settled. I will wait in Wuwei until the third prince of Dasong returns, and then leave."
...
Yan County.
Zhao Xu's life is comfortable and busy.
Three schools have become four. In addition to teaching in the three schools, he also takes time to go to Zhou Yi's naval school every day.
Because the textbooks are still being compiled, he first asked Zhou Yi to teach the students to recognize characters, and he himself popularized simple navigation knowledge to the students.
For example, how to use the sun to identify the direction at sea.
The structure of a sailing warship and how to operate a soft sail.
In addition to lecturing day after day, he inspected the infrastructure projects being carried out by the government office and urged the production of the Arms and Arms Department and Nanfang District.
The Arms and Arms Department is naturally bayonets, mortars, etc.
Nanfang District sells artillery, armor, and weapons.
Whether it is the court or the powerful families, there are people staying in Yancheng, often urging.
Every time the artillery is dismantled, they are immediately taken away by them in the order of allocation.
In addition, he cooperated with Qu Sheng to build a production line for three acids and two alkalis.
Of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the capture of the third prince.
News came from Jinling that Dou Wei had not attended court for several days.
This time he was not pretending to be sick, he was really sick.
And Zhao Heng took the opportunity to let Mi Yan act as prime minister.
However, because the officials of the powerful families did not buy Mi Yan's war at all, the court was in chaos.
"According to the date, the envoys of Dasong should also arrive in Wuwei. I don't know what conditions Xiliang will ask for."
In the bedroom, Zhao Xu was lying on a rocking chair, and Luan'er was massaging his shoulders and talking to him.
In front of him was a basin of winter ice, emitting white mist, bringing him a hint of coolness.
"The people of Xiliang are greedy, and the conditions they put forward must be harsh. I'm afraid it will take several months to bargain." Zhao Xu ate a cucumber.
It was already July, and summer was at its peak. It was very hot outside.
Only in this way could he feel more comfortable.
At this time, he missed air conditioning.
After hanging out for an afternoon, he turned upside down at night.
The next day, Zhao Xu continued his lecture.
Another ten days passed, and Xu Ke came to the palace with a serious face.
"Your Highness, something big is going to happen this time." Xu Ke's forehead was full of sweat, and he didn't know whether it was because of the heat or nervousness.
"What's going on?" Zhao Xu was full of doubts. The only big thing recently was the capture of the third prince.
It was unlikely that the Northern Di would attack.
In such hot weather, the war horses would be hot to death if they ran.
"The third prince was sent back to Dasong by Xiliang." Xu Ke said.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Zhao Xu's brows relaxed.
But why did Xiliang suddenly send him back?
He was about to ask, Xu Ke showed an expression as if he was holding his urine, and finally leaned over to whisper in his ear.
"What!" Zhao Xu suddenly stood up, "Is the news accurate?"
"Accurate! After the Xiliang soldiers sent the third prince back, they shouted outside the pass, saying that the third prince had no descendants since then."
After a pause, he said: "And when the third prince was sent back, he couldn't walk and lay down all the time. That place was also full of blood. In addition, a few days ago, the eldest son of the Northern Di Khan, Temuta, appeared in Wuwei, and then it was like this."
"This is a great shame for Dasong. No matter what, the emperor will not tolerate this, and the Dou family will not tolerate it. I'm afraid there will be a big war in the northwest of Dasong." Zhao Xu said slowly.
He didn't expect that Xiliang would castrate the third prince and send him back.
Based on the information provided by Xu Ke, I'm afraid this is a trap set by the Northern Di.
