Zhang Wenrong shook his head: "You don't know, I come from the Sheng Kingdom. The emperor of the Sheng Kingdom was a lunatic. He started waging wars since he came to the throne. There was no one in the country to farm, and the land had long been barren. He relied on war to support war, and there was nothing he could do about it. People survived. He did not allow any objections and would kill them if they did."
All the civil servants were killed, leaving only her Zhang family struggling to support her. But the madman had no intention of letting the Zhang family go. He first captured her and used medicine to destroy the priest's power.
During the time he was tortured, Zhang Wenrong thought many times that he would not survive.
When Huailin rescued her, some things were beyond mediation. The lunatic became even crazier and decreed that she should be taken into the palace as a concubine.
The Zhang family was silent. Zhang Wenrong remembered that on the day when the imperial edict was read, no one, including his grandfather, father, elder brother, and younger brother, accepted the edict to express gratitude. They seemed not to have heard the official's announcement and knelt on the ground motionless.
Finally, she received the imperial edict and thanked the Holy Grace.
At that moment, Zhang Wenrong made up his mind.
Use yourself to protect the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, the most obedient brother and Huailin teamed up to drug her and send her away.
It turned out that when she made up her mind, the Zhang family also made a decision. Rather Stick to your guns.
Zhang Wenrong knelt in the imperial study room and confided everything.
She burst into tears: "Please let me go, Your Majesty."
Zhu Qinghong held his chin with his hand and did not respond.
Demons and demons are everywhere. They abandon farming and support war by fighting. They are simply seeking death.
No matter how strong the army is, it is still composed of individuals. Humans need food and water to survive.
When there are resources around, fighting to support war can certainly reap the benefits. What happens when resources are exhausted? If demons can’t eat it, what will so many people eat?
Eat people, or starve to death?
"Not for the time being." Zhu Qinghong stood up, "I want to meet him. See if he has three heads and six arms."
"Your Majesty." Zhang Wenrong shook his head, "When he sees that your country is full of rice and the people are rich, he will definitely have the intention of plundering. Your Majesty, think twice. Don't bring death to the people because of me. I have already implicated many people, and I must not do it again. Implicate you."
Zhu Qinghong didn't want to say any more and raised his hand lightly. Wei Wan stepped forward to help Zhang Wenrong and took him down to comfort him.
Not long after, Fang Youan called: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Sheng has requested an interview."
"Bring him here." Zhu Qinghong's lips raised slightly, "He can bring as many people as he wants. I don't take him seriously."
"Yes." After hanging up the call, Fang Youan looked at the sinister man opposite.
Emperor Shengguo, the wind is cold.
"Your Majesty agrees to see you. Please." Fang Youan stepped aside to get out of the way.
Feng Han laughed and strode forward.
The guards behind him followed, but Fang Youan did not stop him. Returning to Tianyang City, they prepared the carriage and continued their journey.
It took seven or eight days of stop and go from Tianyang City to Yingling City to Tianchong City. Along the way, Feng Han's eyes were filled with excitement when he saw the vast green rice fields.
The other party made no secret of it, how could Fang Youan not see it. He was disdainful and didn't know who would hit whom in the end.
On the day of arrival, Zhu Qinghong did not receive him immediately, but waited for two or three days.
Here, they walked around the whole city.
Food, an endless supply of food. Feng Han and the accompanying guards laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
On the day he met Fenghan, Zhu Qinghong tried hard to choose something delicious from the menu. However, if it is included by her, it must be delicious.
Finally, choose a few of the most common treats. In the small courtyard, Wei Wan was accompanied by Zhang Wenrong and Fang Youan.
"Please." Zhu Qinghong sat down with a smile, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I chose a few dishes at random."
Feng Han sat down, poured a glass of wine and drank it all. With a devilish smile, he raised his fingers towards Zhang Wenrong and said, "Come here."
Zhang Wenrong didn't want to go there, let alone cause trouble to others. Just as she was about to take a step forward, Zhu Qinghong said: "Now she is an official of the Yunhong Dynasty. Doesn't Emperor Sheng take me seriously because she comes and goes as soon as she is summoned?"
Surprised in his heart, Zhang Wenrong didn't know when he became an official of the Yunhong Dynasty.
Feng Han raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Qinghong: "Zhang Wenrong is the emperor's concubine. Are you trying to detain her and not let her go? Are you planning to start a war between the two countries? With your small number of troops, do you have any chance of winning?"
"If I hand over the officials of the DPRK today, wouldn't I be cowardly and incompetent?" Zhu Qinghong poured wine, "So, I won't let him go."
Feng Han's eyes were sharp and he put down his wine glass: "Women are really emotional. Do you know the consequences of not letting go?"
"What are the consequences?" Zhu Qinghong didn't care. "Women are emotional. As the king of a country, what does it mean to go to war for a woman? I tell you clearly that within the Yunhong Dynasty, no one can take her away."
"Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need to talk anymore." Feng Han showed a bloodthirsty smile, "You will pay the price for this."
"I'm waiting." Zhu Qinghong raised his hand, "Let's go slowly without seeing them off. Fang You'an, watch them appear on camera."
"Yes." Fang Youan made a gesture of invitation.
Feng Han was so angry that he gave Zhu Qinghong a hard look, then glanced at Zhang Wenrong and turned around to leave.
Until they could no longer be seen, Zhang Wenrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Wan covered her lips and smiled softly, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Why do we have to start a war?" Zhang Wenrong looked at Zhu Qinghong with complicated eyes, "Can we not fight?"
Zhu Qinghong poured himself a drink calmly: "No. He likes our country's food, and I also like something."
"You are seeking skin from a tiger." Zhang Wenrong persuaded him earnestly, "He is a lunatic and will not stop until he dies. Don't fight forcefully."
"That's very good." Zhu Qinghong asked Xiaoye to feed the food on the table to the dog, "No need to say more. You are just a trivial excuse. No matter you come back or not, he will start a war with me. Since the war has begun, how can I It’s inappropriate.”
Zhang Wenrong held on to his last hope: "No, she wants me. If I go back, maybe I can stop her."
"Don't be stupid, a woman's real interests are not important. He wants you, but you can make him gain huge interests." Zhu Qinghong stood up and entered the room with the wine bottle, "Don't think about what you have or what you don't have. You You can’t stop him, and you can’t stop me.”
Wei Wan took Zhang Wenrong's arm and said, "Okay, Miss Zhang. It's not our turn to worry about these things. Let's go play."
However, Zhang Wenrong had no thoughts and was always depressed. Wei Wan couldn't help it and let her go.
Don't even think about running away.
border.
Fang You'an sent Feng Han's group of people out.
Feng Han turned around, his eyes full of ambition.
"Zhang Wenrong is indeed my emperor's lucky star." He laughed, "I have found such a good country for my emperor."
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." The guards bowed. Feng Han smiled arrogantly: "God helps me."
This appearance fell in Fang Youan's eyes, and was sent to the Twelve Guards and Zhu Qinghong of the two armies.
After reading it, everyone looked at a loss of what to say. Confidence is a good thing, arrogance is a bad thing.
There are always people in the world who believe that the world revolves around them. No self-awareness.
Tian Chong City, the Royal Palace.
Zhu Qinghong didn't want to give Feng Han a chance to mobilize his army, and immediately ordered the army to be reorganized.
In this battle, Gao Chen and Ying Cai set out to fight.
Dong Siqing and Dong Sishuang stayed behind. The Twelve Guards led the army and marched towards Sheng Kingdom in three groups.
Zhu Qinghong led the team, Su Rui led the right team, and Fang Youan led the left team. The three teams gathered quickly and set off immediately after one day of rest.
Zhang Wenrong heard the news and came over: "Your Majesty, please take me with you. That is my country, and I cannot stay out of it."
"Of course you want to go." Zhu Qinghong patted her on the shoulder, "You are the indispensable focus of this battle."
"Is there really no room for redemption?" Zhang Wenrong said unbearably, "When two countries fight, the people who suffer the most will always be the people."
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "There is a way to avoid losing blood in this battle. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it."
"What method?" Zhang Wenrong asked eagerly.
If we can fight without bloodshed, if we can minimize the damage...
"You are the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family. The Zhang family would rather destroy themselves than have you enter the palace and suffer humiliation." Zhu Qinghong looked directly at her, "It proves that the Zhang family cares about you and will listen to you. The Huailin in your mouth is a military attaché. He can save you, and he has some power."
"Sang Xu, his name is Sang Xu, and his courtesy name is Huailin." Zhang Wenrong said gently, "He is the youngest general of the Sheng Kingdom."
"Look, you are not at the end of the road." Zhu Qinghong curled his lips, "The family is so intertwined that the emperor cannot get rid of it. Sang Xu is armed with force. If you join forces, are you afraid that you will not be able to overthrow the mad emperor? It is you who have repeatedly given in and made him more and more wanton. Press tight.”
Tyranny has its beneficiaries as well as its victims. Connect all victims to form new forces.
Not to mention a 100% win, at least I have chips to fight against it. Being soft-hearted for a moment and not being able to bear the suffering of the people will only make the situation even more out of control.
This is the truth behind the saying that kindness does not control soldiers.
Peel off the rotten parts of a big country and bring it under your control, and take over a country that is riddled with holes.
It's obvious which one is better and which one is worse. A king always knows how to maximize the interests of his country.
Zhu Qinghong took out the teacup and poured a cup of tea: "It's now. You should know that if you don't give it a try, you will only be devoured. No matter whether you win or not, you just don't want to sit back and wait for death. I am willing to help you for mutual benefit. Mutually beneficial.”
Zhang Wenrong was very confused and couldn't make a decision for a while. She took the tea cup and said, "Your Majesty, please let me think about it."
"Before the war begins, you can think of it." Zhu Qinghong looked directly at her with calm eyes, "After the war begins, it's not up to you."
Nodding, Zhang Wenrong took a sip of tea and retired with deep thoughts. Zhu Qinghong poured tea for himself and shook his head: "Although she cares about the people, she is indecisive. I hope she can grow up after this incident. Otherwise, the Zhang family may fall."
[Master, Shengguo-owned minerals have been detected. The other party was very tightly guarded, and I managed to find something. 】
"Isn't he just a state-level priest?" Zhu Qinghong drank the tea in one gulp and said, "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. You are so tired of living."
[The State of Sheng relied on war to support war. In addition to minerals, there should be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Just filling the treasury. 】
Zhu Qinghong shook his head: "Am I a person who cares about gold, silver and jewelry? I just put them there and don't take them for nothing."
【……】
Ono complained.
[You are so hypocritical. 】
"Excuse me." Zhu Qinghong opened the map and designated Tianyang City as a temporary grain depot.
The army's baggage was transported to Tianyang City first, and they only needed to bring a small amount of food with them when they went to war. This battle will either be fought quickly or without them taking action at all.
