Dafengkou, Qin army camp.
Ying Yuqian was a little bored during this period.
When Lin Feng was in the army, he could play chess with Lin Feng to pass the time. Now that Lin Feng is leaving with his troops, Bai Cejun, Wang Lie and Xun Peng don't play chess with him at all, so Ying Yu does his daily work, which is to read a book, walk around the military camp, visit the surrounding areas, and finally visit the injured soldiers. , to appease the soldiers.
Not to mention that with this arrangement, my days are actually quite fulfilling and I don’t find it boring.
Most of the remaining troops in today's army are wounded soldiers and prisoners of Qi. Ying Yuqian walked around in a circle today, expressed condolences to the injured soldiers, and then walked to the Chinese army's tent. On the way, they met Bai Cejun and Wang Lie who were inspecting the camp.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Bai Cejun and Wang Lie saluted together.
Ying Yugan nodded, and he took the initiative: "Shuai Bai, this time we rush to help Lin Feng. Although all the cavalry have been arranged to support, in fact, there are still too many dangers. Do you think that this time, Lin Feng Can we win in one battle?"
"I think Lin Feng's arrangement is still a bit impatient and risky. If Wang Canchi's rescue is blocked, Lin Feng's camp will be in trouble."
"There is no room for carelessness in the battlefield."
Ying Yuqian sighed and said: "I don't know whether I can win in the end, so I am a little worried."
Bai Cejun smiled and said: "Prince, don't worry, Commander Lin will strategize and will definitely win. In fact, Prince's concern will lead to chaos. Think carefully about how Commander Lin has failed since he led the army? Commander Lin's arrangement this time is There is a perfect plan.”
Wang Lie took the words and took the initiative to comfort him: "Prince, if you consider the worst result, that is, the front line is defeated. Even if the front line is defeated, Lin Shuai, as a martial arts master, no one can stop him. He can lead Breaking through with people."
"So, you don't need to worry. Bai Shuai was right just now. Lin Shuai is strategizing and will definitely win. So we don't need to worry, we just need to wait for the news."
Bai Cejun said again: "I estimate that news from the front line will come back soon."
Ying Yuqian nodded and relaxed a little.
Lin Feng is very important to Qin, and he is also a force that cannot be ignored for Ying Yuqian. Lin Feng was not only Ying Yuqian's adviser, but also his son-in-law.
This is multiple identities.
Ying Yuqian was about to walk back when a soldier hurried over and reported: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Commander Lin."
"Bring it here quickly."
Ying Yuqian felt happy.
Finally there is news.
Ying Yuqian took the battle report and quickly opened it and browsed through it. When Ying Yuqian read all the news, his face showed an expression of ecstasy, and he was even more surprised: "This Lin Feng is really powerful. He won this battle and killed the emperor Tian He."
Bai Cejun and Wang Lie looked at each other and both became happy. Ying Yuqian handed over the letter, and Bai Cejun and Wang Lie read it together.
After reading this, Bai Cejun thought for a while and said: "After this battle, we annihilated 20,000 elites of the Qi State. Although it was Cao Wudao who killed Tian He, in the final analysis, it was also caused by the force of our Qin Army. It can be regarded as the death of our Qin Army." kill."
"But the emperor's death is not an important matter."
"Lin Shuai asked the prince to spread the news in Qi State, so he must notify the people in Heibingtai and quickly spread the news in Linzi."
"This time, I want to make the people of Qi afraid."
"At the same time, we need to let the people of Qi know that Qin is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and has a reputation for being a teacher. We Qin people are not madmen, nor are we barbarians. All our actions are not random, but are forced to fight back."
"If Tian He hadn't attacked without permission, there wouldn't have been a war between the two countries."
Bai Cejun talked eloquently and said: "As long as this step of propaganda is completed and public opinion is controlled, Qi will not have much problem. Even the noble ministers of Qi who are afraid of Qin will take the initiative to plead guilty because they are afraid that Qin will kill them. .”
"Alas, it's a pity that Tian Yu returned alive. If Lin Shuai mentioned in his letter, if Tian Yu is killed, it will further disrupt the Qi State."
"It's a pity that Tian Yu is still alive."
"As long as Tian Yu is here, with Tian Yu's prestige and Qi's Prime Minister Yan Zichu, they have high prestige, strong means, and they have a tacit understanding of power. Although there will be some turmoil in Qi, it is unlikely that there will be a big chaos."
"We will have a truce for the time being, but by stationing troops at the border, we can further force Qi to express its stance."
"This is still quite critical."
Bai Cejun talked eloquently, with a bright smile on his old face, and continued: "For the time being, this battle is completely over."
Wang Lie took the words and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the general feels a little confused. When the army sent out troops to attack Qi State, considering the overall strength of Qi State, the general thinks that we can win, which is already quite good."
"I didn't expect that after the first battle, we defeated Qi's army and captured Qi's emperor alive. In the blink of an eye, we killed Qi's emperor again. We captured the emperor twice in a row. Such feats are rare in ancient times."
Wang Lie smiled and said: "It is a good thing for us, but for Qi State, it is a great shame."
Ying Yuqian also stroked his beard and laughed, nodding and said: "I immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to the country to make my father happy. The war has been won, and the entire Qin Kingdom should be happy."
Bai Cejun and Wang Lie also agreed.
In the entire military camp, as the news of Lin Feng's victory spread, there was already a lively and joyful atmosphere.
…
The imperial capital of Qi State, outside Linzi City.
A group of people appeared outside the city. There were only more than ten people in this group. The leader was Tian Yu, who came back first with a few personal guards.
Along the way, Tian Yu was working hard. Even at night, Tian Yu seldom rested. Most of the time, Tian Yu is in a hurry. The reason why Tian Yu did this was to seize time and return to Linzi first to arrange operations.
After gathering the fleeing army, Tian Yu arranged for people to be responsible for gathering them at the rear, and then slowly returned. By then, when the troops who fled from the front line returned to Linzi, Tian Yu and Yan Zichu had stabilized the situation in North Korea and China.
Everything is simple.
Tian Yu led people into the city and did not go back to Langya Palace to wash up. Time was tight, so he went directly to the Prime Minister's Office to discuss matters with Yan Zichu. When Tian Yu entered the office, he saw Yan Zichu in the duty room.
At this moment, Yan Zichu was very surprised, why did Tian Yu come back so soon?
With a faint smile on Yan Zichu's old face, he said: "When the prince returns to Linzi, he must have been replaced by your majesty. With your majesty here, the situation in the court will be stable. There is no prince in charge for this period of time, and there is no your majesty. Decision, even if I suppress it forcefully, there is still some turmoil. Fortunately, everything is still under control, and there will be no trouble. "
"Your Majesty is dead!"
Tian Yu directly told the result.
"What?"
A look of shock appeared on Yan Zichu's face, and he even became temporarily absent-minded.
Immediately, Yan Zichu recovered and said: "Your Majesty, what happened? Your Majesty was fine, so why did you suddenly die? Could it be that when the hostages were exchanged, Qin got food and money, so it sent troops to kill people directly?"
"no!"
Tian Yu shook his head again.
Yan Zichu looked anxious and replied: "My lord, please explain clearly what happened on the front line."
Tian Yu sighed and explained: "Your Majesty's death was actually his own fault. The situation at that time was like this..."
Tian Yu explained bit by bit that Tian Yu and his people arrived at the border to meet Lin Feng and sent food and money to Qin, but Lin Feng wanted to detain Tian He for three days. Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng released Tian He, because Tian He believed that Lin Feng's side was weak and wanted to counterattack, and insisted on attacking, but was eventually killed.
After Tian Yu explained the general situation, he said: "Because I strongly opposed His Majesty's sending troops, I offended Your Majesty, and was sent back to the camp for detention by His Majesty, and I escaped. The general situation is like this. I came back first, We must work with the Prime Minister to stabilize the situation."
"The war I mentioned is true or false. You don't have to believe me, Prime Minister, but there are still troops fleeing behind. They will come back one after another. Just investigate directly. In addition, I believe that Qin's Black Ice Platform hidden stakes will soon be Spread the news and stir up the situation by spreading the news that His Majesty was killed.”
"In this regard, I, the king, must stand upright and not be afraid of investigation."
Tian Yu said that the emperor was killed, and he mentioned it on his own initiative. There is no more news to support it yet.
Therefore, Yan Zichu might suspect that he killed the emperor and had some conspiracy, so he had to explain it clearly.
"I believe in the prince."
Yan Zichu was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has always been upright and upright, and does not admire power, so I believe you. Your Majesty's character is indeed unable to withstand stimulation. Lin Feng continued to stimulate and humiliate Your Majesty. In fact, Lin Feng deliberately It creates a situation in which the army lacks strength and strength. After His Majesty learns of the situation, it is normal for him to be unable to withstand the temptation to send troops. Alas, everything is fate!"
Tian Yu said seriously: "It is useless to say this now. The key now is to quickly complete the transfer of power in Qi and stabilize the situation of the government."
Yan Zichu's eyes fell on Tian Yu and asked: "What does the prince think of the current situation?"
A flash of light flashed across Tian Yu's eyes, and he said loudly: "The top priority is to appoint a new master. Although His Majesty passed away suddenly, at least he left the young prince behind. With the prince here, according to legal principles, the prince must ascend the throne."
"Therefore, in order to maintain the legal authority of the court, I suggest that the prince succeeds to the throne, rectifies the source, and stabilizes the situation. Only in this way will there be no problems and no accusations. Otherwise, if someone else is appointed, he will have the advantage of age. , but it will fall into internal friction.”
A smile appeared on Yan Zichu's lips.
His heart was relieved.
In fact, the aspect of appointing a new owner is enough to see Tian Yu's thoughts. If Tian Yu appoints another person, I'm afraid Tian Yu may have second thoughts. If we continue to appoint the crown prince, the situation of the court will not change much. It is a normal arrangement.
Yan Zichu stroked his beard under his chin and said seriously: "Now that the crown prince has been appointed to the throne, there is one more thing."
Tian Yu asked: "What's the matter?"
Yan Zichu's eyes were sharp and he said seriously: "The top priority is to confirm the minister of auxiliary government again. Previously, the prince and I jointly assisted the government, which was arranged by the late emperor himself. Now that his majesty passed away, he sent a message again, saying that on his deathbed, he made another arrangement The prince and I assist the government and clarify their identities."
"Only when the name is right can you give orders."
"Without this step, we will be blamed."
"Then we can smoothly stabilize the situation. But before that, the Forbidden Army and the garrison have weapons arsenals, and they must all be taken over first. Only by keeping the army in our hands can we ensure fundamental stability. If others take control of the army, even if we want to adjust the government, we will not be able to stabilize the situation. will encounter unprecedented resistance.”
Yan Zichu asked: "My lord, what do you think?"
Tian Yu said: "No problem!"
After a pause, Tian Yu continued: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. Although His Majesty committed suicide this time, we have a certain responsibility for Qi's problems this time. So in the future, the government will be stable In the future, I will also train younger officials and prepare to retire."
Yan Zichu shook his head and objected: "The prince cannot retire before the prince reaches adulthood. As long as the prince is here, the court will not have any problems. Because the prince can represent the clan ministers in the court, this is very important. If the prince retires, I will We are alone and unable to stabilize the situation."
Tian Yu was silent for a while and sighed: "Let's take it one step at a time. After what happened this time, I am even more disheartened."
Yan Zichu said: "The purpose of us old guys is to step forward without hesitation to take charge of the situation and stabilize the overall situation when the country is in need and the court is in need. Only in this way can the stability of the court be achieved."
Tian Yu nodded solemnly, changed the subject, and said, "Now there is one more thing."
Yan Zichu asked: "What's going on?"
Tian Yu said seriously: "More than 10,000 Qi soldiers who were captured before are still in the Qin army camp at Dafengkou on the front line. This time, Your Majesty was defeated again, and thousands of Qi soldiers became prisoners again. This matter, How to negotiate?”
"It is impossible for us to ignore these soldiers, otherwise we will be criticized. Even under the pressure of Qin, we have to appease Qin. If we continue to ignore them, the final result will affect the hearts of the people of Qi."
Yan Zichu sighed and said, "This matter must be discussed. I suggest arranging for people to go to the front line to negotiate. But now, the court is already in a mess, and we don't have enough time to make arrangements."
"The reason is very simple. Once the emperor and his courtiers are appointed, the court's appointment of a new emperor needs to involve many things including his majesty's posthumous title and the crown prince's enthronement. We even have to stabilize the situation. In short, the country is in a mess."
Yan Zichu said: "There are too many things going on, and there is simply no way to deal with them."
Tian Yu thought for a while and said, "Let's just arrange it this way."
Yan Zichu asked: "How to arrange it?"
Tian Yu said: "I am responsible for stabilizing the people in the imperial family, and arranging people to go to the front line to negotiate, stabilize the Qin State, and then exchange for all the Qi soldiers. As for the government affairs and the process of appointing the prince as the emperor, This series is run by the Prime Minister. This king belongs to the clan, and it is inappropriate to be overly involved."
"Okay, that's the arrangement."
Yan Zichu nodded and answered, then asked again: "What about the army?"
Tian Yu said: "It is still arranged by the Prime Minister. After discussing with me, the Prime Minister will arrange for suitable people to take charge of the army."
The military is key.
Whoever controls the army controls the right to speak.
Tian Yu could have taken control directly, but he only discussed the arrangements with Yan Zichu, and then Yan Zichu made arrangements. This was giving up power and stabilizing Yan Zichu. Although it was left to Yan Zichu, Tian Yu was actually not worried about what Yan Zichu would do.
Tian Yu also has a very high prestige in the country. If Yan Zichu had something in mind, Tian Yu could resist it with a shout.
Yan Zichu had a touch of gratitude on his face and felt even more relaxed. Tian Yu even released his military power. This shows that he really has no ambitions.
Yan Zichu said seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the mission. Our country, Qi, will land stably and adjust quickly."
Tian Yu said: "I will also make appropriate arrangements."
The two discussed it carefully and then went to make arrangements separately. After all, things are complicated right now and there are too many things to do.
