Chapter 1353 Zhao Qiushan's Thoughts

Zhao Qiushan was able to become the mayor of Xingping City, in addition to Wu Xian's appreciation, he was naturally not stupid.

Zhao Qiushan knew very well that Cai Cheng's uprising was an opportunity for the ministers in the court to re-position themselves. If they were right, they would naturally rise to prominence and glory in the future; if they were wrong, the consequence would be the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

For other people in the court, they might need to think carefully before choosing whose side to stand on. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once the wrong choice is made, the consequences will be very serious.

But for Zhao Qiushan, this matter did not need to be considered at all. He had made a decision as soon as he knew that Cai Cheng had started the uprising.

He had no other choice. The only choice he could make was to support Cai Cheng, because he had offended Wu Ya long before, and he had offended her so badly that there was no room for maneuver.

Before Cai Cheng started the rebellion, Zhao Qiushan had been living in fear, fearing that one day he would wake up and receive the imperial edict from Wu Ya, asking him to hang himself. He knew very well that Wu Ya would never let him go for what he had done before, and would definitely deal with him as long as Wu Ya had time.

So, after learning that Cai Cheng was going to start a rebellion, Zhao Qiushan chose to stand on Cai Cheng's side without any hesitation, and he expressed his position faster than anyone else.

"Good, very good." Zhao Qiushan's words made Cai Cheng's eyes brighter again: "With the help of Lord Zhao, Fengyu City will not last long."

Although he was very confident in taking down Fengyu City, Cai Cheng would never refuse the help of other armies, which would make it easier for him to take down Fengyu City at a lower cost.

The other generals in the tent also showed excitement.

"However, you transferred the troops in Xingping City. If Yanfeng Country suddenly attacked, wouldn't Xingping City have no troops to use?" Cai Cheng looked at Zhao Qiushan and said.

At this time, Cai Cheng had already put himself in the position of the actual controller of Nanping State. When considering things, he naturally could not only focus on the present.

"Don't worry about this, Shangshu." Zhao Qiushan said: "I don't know what method Wu Ya used before, but she actually made Yanfeng State temporarily give up the idea of ​​retaliating against her. Now the border area between our Nanping State and Yanfeng State is very safe."

Zhao Qiushan's words reminded Cai Cheng of Wu Fan.

Before, Cai Cheng strongly opposed Nanping State's hard fight with Shuiyue State and Heishui State at Shanling Pass, because at that time, the relationship between Nanping State and the two superpowers Shuiyue State and Yanfeng State was not good. It was enough for Nanping State to offend one superpower, not to mention that they offended two superpowers at this time. Nanping State had no choice but to beg for mercy.

But later, Wu Fan used some unknown method to make Yanfeng Kingdom give up its hostility towards Nanping Kingdom and support Nanping Kingdom. In this way, Nanping Kingdom's crisis was instantly resolved. With Yanfeng Kingdom's support, Shuiyue Kingdom did not dare to attack them rashly.

Thinking of Wu Fan, Cai Cheng gritted his teeth. His hatred for Wu Fan was even greater than Wu Ya. Wu Fan took away his power and killed his nephew who he had focused on training. The hatred between him and Wu Fan made him want to cut Wu Fan into pieces.

It's a pity that Wu Fan is now in Shanling Pass, not in Fengyu City, otherwise, Cai Cheng would have to kill Wu Fan himself.

"In addition." Zhao Qiushan continued: "Yanfeng Kingdom has not had a good time recently. Rebellions have broken out in the country, and the court's army is simply unable to suppress them. Externally, Tianji Kingdom proposed to Yanfeng Kingdom. If the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom does not agree, Tianji Kingdom will definitely take this opportunity to use troops against Yanfeng Kingdom. Shuiyue Kingdom has been eyeing Yanfeng Kingdom covetously. If Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom start fighting, then Shuiyue Kingdom will definitely not miss this opportunity. At that time, Yanfeng Kingdom will be attacked from all sides, so how can it care about us?"

"Is there such a thing?" Cai Cheng looked at Zhao Qiushan in surprise.

Cai Cheng really didn't know about this before. During this period, he had been busy preparing for the uprising. Rebellion is not a trivial matter. There are many things to prepare. Even if Cai Cheng is very confident in himself, he dare not be careless. Therefore, during this period, he had no time to take care of other external things, and naturally he didn't know about Tianji Kingdom's proposal to Yanfeng Kingdom.

Zhao Qiushan is different. After all, he is the mayor of Xingping City. Xingping City borders Yanfeng Country. Naturally, he is very concerned about the news of Yanfeng Country.

Cai Cheng was quite surprised to hear such news suddenly. After all, this is a big event, a big event that can affect the pattern of the human world. Cai Cheng has already regarded himself as the actual controller of Nanping Country at this time. Naturally, he is very concerned about such things that are related to himself.

"It is absolutely true." Zhao Qiushan said: "It is said that the envoys of Tianji Country have already arrived in Shuiyue Country and have been discussing the alliance. Now it is estimated that they have reached an agreement. Yanfeng Country can't protect itself, so how can it have the mind to attack us?"

Cai Cheng nodded and said: "If this is true, then Yanfeng Country really has no mind to care about us."

Nanping Country is just a small country, and its importance is naturally not as important as Shuiyue Country and Tianji Country.

"However, Yanfeng Kingdom may not necessarily reject this marriage. Since everyone knows that Tianji Kingdom has ulterior motives, the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom cannot be unaware of this. For the sake of Yanfeng Kingdom, he may not refuse." Cai Cheng said.

"If he agrees, his prestige in the country will inevitably fall. At that time, the rebels in Yanfeng will definitely take this opportunity to spread the word. The rebel forces in their territory will only increase. At that time, they will still not have the energy to deal with us." Zhao Qiushan said.

Cai Cheng thought about it, nodded, and said: "You are right. The current Yanfeng country is indeed in a dilemma. This is good. The commotion between several superpowers has given us an opportunity."

At this point, Cai Cheng's face was slightly excited. He felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God, an opportunity for him to leave his name in history.

In fact, Zhao Qiushan didn't say another sentence: If Yanfeng really wanted to attack Nanping, it didn't need to wait until Xingping City was empty of troops, because Yanfeng's strength was much stronger than their Nanping. Even if they were now facing internal and external troubles, they were still stronger than Nanping. Therefore, whether Yanfeng would attack their Nanping had nothing to do with the number of Xingping City defenders.

However, Zhao Qiushan did not say such words. Cai Cheng was ambitious at that time, and there was no need to say such a spoiling thing at this time.
