Yanwang Palace.
As soon as Jin Zhong returned home, he was immediately summoned by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di looked at the tired-looking Jin Zhongchangshi. Although he felt very guilty, he had no other choice.
After all, whether King Ning Zhu Quan is willing to raise troops to appease Jingnan is related to the future of the war, and even more to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Yan troops!
Looking at the hopeful Yan King Zhu Di, Jin Zhong smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning is willing to raise troops to appease Nan!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was overjoyed and waved his fist excitedly.
However, before he could be happy for three seconds, Jin Zhong's next words directly caused the smile on his face to freeze on the spot.
"But that Prince Ning put forward a condition!"
"He wants to be the leader of the rebels and is not willing to be the prince's deputy!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face instantly darkened, and a murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes!
Hey, this seventeenth brother is really ambitious!
No wonder he had refused to join him in raising troops to suppress Jingnan before. It turned out that he had such a small intention!
What bullshit "rebellion leader" is just a fig leaf.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan's intention is very obvious. To be Zhu Di's boss, he must sit on the dragon chair!
Although it seems a bit too early to start discussing the ownership of the throne now.
But as the saying goes, "the name is justifiable," the name and the tools should not be faked!
The Jingnan army now only has Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who is the ancestor of Taizu. There is no doubt that he is the object of allegiance to the officers and men of the three armies.
But if Ning Wang Zhu Quan led his army to join, it would be really hard to say!
After all, Ning Wang Zhu Quan is also the 17th son of Taizu Xueyin and Emperor Gao, so he is also qualified to sit on the dragon chair!
Moreover, Daning has 200,000 elite soldiers, half of whom are direct descendants of Ning King Zhu Quan. Ning King Zhu Quan is not inferior to Yan King Zhu Di in terms of strength!
In this way, if the two armies merge into one, then the question of who is in charge will really be discussed!
Zhu Di's face was gloomy, extremely sad.
He didn't expect that the seventeenth brother who was both wise and brave back then would actually have ambitions now!
Haha, you are worthy of Taizu Xueyin, there is no simple thing!
In desperation, Zhu Di could only summon Dao Yan and Yuan Gong to discuss the matter together.
After learning about Prince Ning Zhu Quan's conditions, Dao Yan and Yuan Gong looked very ugly.
This Ning King Zhu Quan clearly wants to take advantage of the situation and use the general situation to force Yan King Zhu Di to bow to him!
The Jinling court has sent an army of 500,000 elite troops to fight against Yan. If the Yan army wants to resist the 500,000 imperial troops, they have to ask for help from Daning, King Ning Zhu Quan, and rely on the 200,000 elite troops of Daning Dusi. Soldiers!
Then, King Yan Zhu Di must bow to Ning King Zhu Quan!
In this way, the leader of Jingnan will be Ning Wang Zhu Quan, not Yan Wang Zhu Di!
"Oh, His Highness Prince Ning is really good at planning!"
Monk Daoyan sighed, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
After all, it is difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing.
It's okay if you don't help, but you still want to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury!
Does this mean that the royal family has no family ties and the heavenly family has no loyalty?
Yuan Gong sneered and said conspiratorially: "Destiny lies with Yan, not Daning!"
"No matter what tricks Prince Ning and Zhu Quan use, he can't compete with you, Prince!"
Yuan Gong said this, but he didn't say it. He could only give Zhu Di some psychological comfort.
He now wants to know how to solve the Daning problem.
After all, Li Jinglong has already led an army of 500,000 people to attack. It is estimated that in a month or two, 500,000 imperial troops will be on the city!
"Three of you, are you planning to come up with a plan?"
"My seventeenth brother is not a simple thing!"
King Yan Zhu Di asked for advice, and the three of them suddenly fell into deep thinking.
After a long time, monk Dao Yan's eyes flashed with light.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ning Zhu Quan is just waiting for a price. In fact, he has already had his heart turned against him. Otherwise, he would not have openly defied Zhu Yunwen's imperial order and stayed in Daning instead of going to Jinling!"
"In other words, Zhu Quan wants to take advantage of the current situation to force the prince to bow to him, so as to take the position of leader of Jingnan."
"Then the problem becomes much simpler."
"Oh? What do you mean by the monk's words?" Zhu Di looked happy and asked hurriedly.
Monk Daoyan has been languid and unable to work for so long, and now he is finally back to normal.
Monk Daoyan smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said: "Your Majesty, I will go to Daning in person and have a face-to-face meeting with Ning Wang Zhu Quan."
"What?!" Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, "You want me to go to Daning in person? What if the imperial army comes to kill you?"
Although Li Jinglong's army of 500,000 is still on the way, Geng Bingwen's army is still determined!
At this time, Zhu Di left Peiping for Daning. If the imperial army learned the news and went straight to Huanglong and captured Peiping in one fell swoop, their base would be gone!
Monk Dao Yan nodded, his expression extremely solemn.
"That's right!"
"If you want to persuade Prince Ning and Zhu Quan to raise troops, you must go there in person!"
"This is a contest between your two great ancestors, Xueyin. These ministers like us don't have enough status, and Ning Wang Zhu Quan won't believe it!"
"With the current strength of the Yan army, there is basically no chance of winning against the imperial court's attack. We must rely on the power of the Daning Dusi, so the prince must go to Daning in person!"
"The key issue is that since Zhu Quan has long been rebellious, the prince's only goal in going to Daning this time is to directly help Ning Wang Zhu Quan rebel!"
"In this case, Ning Wang Zhu Quan has no other choice but to cooperate with our Yan army, unless he is willing to fight alone. But the land of Daning is not as good as Peiping, and it is not a foundation place at all. When the time comes, those who rely on others will be He has become King Ning and Zhu Quan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.
Monk Dao Yan's plan was a sinister and sinister one.
The core idea is just one sentence: coerce King Ning and Zhu Quan into rebelling!
As long as this step is taken, Zhu Quan will naturally no longer be able to stay on the sidelines. He has no other choice but to cooperate with the Yan army or directly surrender to the Yan army!
"Master, this is a great plan!"
"But the only hidden danger is that the Southern Army has to guard against it!"
Jin Zhong and Yuan Gong also gave their opinions.
The main problem is that with the departure of King Zhu Di of Yan, the Yan army will have no backbone. Once the imperial army suddenly attacks, they will be in trouble!
After all, no one knows how long it will take for King Yan Zhu Di to go to Daning.
It’s hard to say whether Peiping will be in danger next, or whether it can hold its own against the imperial army’s pressure!
Zhu Di also understood this truth, so he seemed very embarrassed.
He not only wanted Daning Dusi's 200,000 elite soldiers, but he also didn't want to put his hometown in Peiping into danger.
But Zhu Di also understood that Monk Daoyan was not aiming for nothing. Only if he went to Daning in person and met with the seventeenth brother could the blackmail plan be successful!
Therefore, Zhu Di must go to Daning!
But which people should be brought along and which people should be left to defend Peiping is also a difficult problem.
"Convene a civil and military meeting tomorrow!"
"I want to go to Daning as soon as possible, but I must not lose Beiping!"
"I also ask three gentlemen to draw up a list and regulations for the division of troops of the Yan army this time!"
