Murong Heng's joining changed the situation in Yanyun County.
The Western Region is stable.
There will be no trouble in Northern Xinjiang at present.
The situation in the south is not yet clear, but there should not be any large-scale conflicts in the short term.
Now Xiao Chen can concentrate on dealing with the enemies to the east.
"Shunfeng Port must be won!" Murong Hengyuan was in the Western Region and knew the importance of Shunfeng Port to Yanyun County.
"When I come back this time, I also want to discuss this matter with Li Wanjiang. In the opinion of the old marquis, will he agree? Will he send troops?" Xiao Chen wanted to hear Murong Heng's opinion.
"I will definitely agree if I promise. Shunfeng Port is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course Li Wanjiang wants to take it back. As for whether or when he will send troops, it is hard to say." Murong Heng said.
"As long as he agrees, I will work for him first. It doesn't actually matter whether he sends troops or not." Xiao Chen said.
"It's still important." Murong Heng didn't agree, "And how many troops he sends, whether he sends troops from land or only the navy, how many troops he sends, and when he sends them? These are all important."
If Li Wanjiang agreed to Xiao Chen's plan to regain Shunfeng Port but used the excuse that he couldn't provide any troops, then Xiao Chen would have no choice but to send troops to attack on his own.
If his attack fails, Li Wanjiang will definitely be held accountable, and may even use the issue to remove him, the governor of Yanyun County. In this case, Xiao Chen will be passive.
If his attack goes smoothly, Li Wanjiang will most likely take the opportunity to quickly send troops and station them directly at Shunfeng Port. In this way, Xiao Chen will still be very passive.
"What the old Marquis said makes sense, so I won't ask him for instructions. How about I kill him first and then tell him?" Xiao Chen meant to wait and see first.
If he fails, then he can make an excuse and say that the Russians provoked him first and he was just forced to fight back, so that he will not be guilty of anything.
If it is successfully won, then Li Wanjiang will have no reason to send troops to Shunfeng Port.
"No, if we want to attack Shunfeng Port, we must first obtain Li Wanjiang's consent, because if we attack Shunfeng Port, it is equivalent to directly going to war with the Russians. They will definitely not give up and will definitely exert huge pressure on Li Wanjiang. What if Li Wanjiang uses you as a scapegoat?" Murong Heng thought carefully.
"So a battle with the Russians is inevitable, but it must be fought in the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is justifiable, and it will directly put the pressure on Li Wanjiang. If the Russians send troops to attack in the future, he will have to give We support..."
The two of them talked happily, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative. After a while, Murong Heng was still talking to himself, but Xiao Chen took the initiative to end the conversation and asked him to rest for a while. Murong Heng had to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. Then he reluctantly left.
This in-depth discussion was of great benefit to Xiao Chen. Murong Heng's insights into the current situation were quite penetrating, which opened up Xiao Chen's horizons. He also gave Xiao Chen a lot of practical suggestions. Many of them were things Xiao Chen and the others had not considered before...
Murong Heng also got to know Xiao Chen from this in-depth conversation and felt that this prince was really smart, wise and broad-minded!
Not only can you immediately understand the suggestions he puts forward, but you can even draw inferences from one example and go one step further based on his suggestions!
For example, he mentioned the importance of the navy and suggested that Xiao Chen must build a fleet of at least ten large warships at all costs in the future to defend Shunfeng Port, so that the situation in the east of Yanyun County can be fundamentally stabilized. .
Not only did Xiao Chen agree, but he also planned to directly increase the number of warships tenfold or even dozens of times. The navy he wanted to build would not only be used to defend Tongfeng Port, but also to gallop throughout the East China Sea and even the Southeast Asia!
Such a large-scale fleet is definitely not just used to defend the offshore. It seems that Xiao Chen has a big plan!
His eyes have crossed the ocean and seen farther away...
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Xiao Chen ordered people to prepare horses and let's go into the palace right away.
Murong Heng was stunned. Didn't he just go in like that?
You should at least change your clothes and put on makeup, right?
Although I am from the Murong family, I will not be embarrassed.
Also, what status do I have when I enter the palace? If the guard guarding the gate asks, how should I answer?
If we encounter any temporary emergency when entering the palace, how should we deal with it?
And can we see Danqiu when we go in? She is a queen, can anyone see her if they want?
The guards in the palace must also verify my identity. How will I return to their home then?
It would be inappropriate to say that I am Murong Heng.
What if I meet someone who knows me? Then shouldn’t we finish playing together?
If Li Wanjiang knew that I was coming, would he die of joy?
This is tantamount to sending someone's head thousands of miles away...
Xiao Chen said, Mr. Marquis, you are worrying too much. In fact, this matter is not that complicated. I am not bragging to you. I always walk in the inner courtyard of the palace on an equal footing.
You can rest assured that everything is with me, as long as you don't tell others that you are Murong Heng.
That's okay, I'll just listen to the prince.
Murong Heng said this, but he could not help but feel uneasy in his heart. Xiao Chen was chatting and laughing with Ling'er and Xiao Ye along the way, but he was worried and said nothing.
Ordinarily, Xiao Chen should be a very stable person, why would he be so playful about such an important matter?
This is the palace, the most heavily guarded place in the world. You thought it was really your backyard!
You are still doing it... let me see how you are doing it!
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, you have come to the palace so early?" As soon as the guards guarding the Xibian Gate saw Xiao Chen and the others, they rushed over to say hello.
Hello, Miss Linger! You are so dazzling today. Children often say that Mr. Xiao is a fairy in the sky, and Miss Ling'er, you are a fairy descending to earth!
This is not flattery, it is actually what we say from our hearts.
General Xiao is looking good today, his face is rosy. Our brothers are really happy to see him...
The ground is too cold on this cold day, so I won’t kneel down for you!
As for Murong Heng, no one even glanced at him, because since Mr. Xiao didn't introduce him, brothers had better not ask random questions.
Even routine inspections were omitted. The palace door was opened wide and four people were invited in. They also warned the road might be slippery and they must pay attention to their steps...
"This palace gate guard is really shameless! Why did he let me in without even asking?" Murong Hengdu was still confused when he came in. It was too smooth, right?
What's going on with those royal guards on duty at the palace gate?
They ignore strangers, ignore them, and don't check them... If the guards under my command dare to neglect their duties like this, they will all beheaded in public!
This is a royal palace!
Xiao Chen just smiled and said nothing, saying, "If you don't show off now, when will you show off?"
The problem is that he installed it!
I met many people on the road, but when I saw Xiao Chen, they all actively avoided saying hello, but no one asked him who Murong Heng was?
Isn’t that what even the emperor is like?
