After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Dongyang still took some time to meet Chu Yanwu in private.
He was taking a medicinal bath, and the stench was so bad that it stung him all over. It felt like there were thousands of ants crawling on my body, and I was in agony.
Chen Jin advised from the side: "Your Majesty, no matter how long you endure it, it will only last ten days. If you recover after enduring it, you may not be able to have a full house of children and a long line of heirs!"
Every time Chen Jin draws a cake, it is the motivation for Chu Yanwu to persevere.
He also hopes that Chu Yanwu can continue the family line, otherwise who will he find as a backer in the future?
"See Your Majesty."
Across a screen, Zhang Dongyang bowed slightly and saluted, and Chen Jin accepted the sweet words.
Chu Yanwu glared at him and said with great difficulty: "Just tell me if you have anything else."
In recent days, most major decisions have been left to Zhang Dongyang.
However, the overall decision requires Zhang Dongyang to think carefully before leaving it to him to make the final decision.
For convenience, he is not restricted from entering and exiting his construction site freely.
Zhang Dongyang said bluntly: "I came here this time to report to His Majesty the situation with General Zhao."
"General Zhao has taken the lead and has already beaten a city at the enemy's border to the point of collapse. Da Qi is deeply distressed."
Upon hearing the news, Chu Yanwu couldn't help but shout: "Okay!"
At that second, the stinging pain spread all over his body, and the pain made him grin and die.
He could only stay where he was: "I already know, you go out first."
This kind of scene was so embarrassing that Chu Yanwu couldn't lose face.
But Zhang Dongyang didn't leave and continued: "There is one more thing."
"Although General Zhao's operation seems to be going smoothly, capturing a city has taken a lot of effort."
"The sergeants of Daqi have always been good. If General Zhao wanted to capture all the cities in Yanbian in the past, General Zhao would have been powerless, so I would like to ask your Majesty to send troops to rush for reinforcements."
Chu Yanwu waved his hand: "Then you can make your own arrangements, and then let someone send 100,000 troops."
"I don't know who to send?"
"You can make the decision yourself on such a small matter. Send whoever you want. Anyway, don't bother me anymore because of this matter in the past few days!"
Zhang Dongyang curled up his lips: "I obey the order."
Therefore, Zhang Dongyang sent the Ninth Prince Chu Yuntian as the commander-in-chief of the supporting army.
Da Qi.
In the palace, Zhou Tianfu and Qi Yun were playing games with each other.
On the chessboard, black and white stones fall one after another, forming a situation where each other is trapped.
Qi Yun held Bai Zi between his arms for a long time without making a move, but his heart was already restless.
Finally, he threw the white piece into the chess box and said, "Forget it, I can't beat Mr. Zhou no matter what, so I lose again this time."
Zhou Tianfu quickly bowed and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, His Highness? In fact, this may not necessarily be a losing move."
He picked up the white pieces, played one black and one white, and soon let the white pieces see the light of day again.
Suddenly, Li Yun's eyes lit up.
"As expected of Mr. Zhou, he really turned decay into magic and was able to bring this dead game to life!"
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
He clapped his hands repeatedly, and his words were full of admiration and praise.
The smile was short-lived, and in a moment he said meaningfully: "Master Zhou is indeed a player that few people can match when it comes to playing chess, but it's just that some aspects are a bit disappointing."
"A battle report came from the border town a few days ago. It is said that due to the predicament of Da Qi Zhao Xifeng, our city is already crumbling and I am afraid it will not be able to defend it for long."
He stretched out his hands and stared directly at Zhou Tianfu.
Compared with the admiration I felt before, I am now as cold as ice.
"Master Zhou, we in Da Qi are people who love talents and can recruit talents regardless of their country."
"But if we find that the return we get from our hard work is not ideal, then it is worth thinking about whether this investment is worth it!"
Zhou Tianfu didn't understand. The other party was questioning his ability and trying to beat him!
Even Zhou Ji, who had always been stupid, heard it at this moment and stood beside him without daring to speak.
Zhou Tianfu hurriedly stood up, bowed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. You have heard of Feng Zhao Xifeng's reputation, right?"
"He has joined the army since he was a child and has been a god in the military. He is even more brave on the battlefield. Such a person is indeed powerful."
"It was also because of him that the soldiers raised by the old minister were beaten and had no power to fight back."
"It stands to reason that I should hate him so much that I wish I could kill him. But now that I think about it, doesn't His Highness think it would be even more powerful if he could take this person for his own use?"
Qi Yun scoffed: "We are so loyal that we wish we could all be wiped out. How can we use them for our own use?"
"Furthermore, you think he is so powerful that even one of our cities is about to be conquered. Why do you think Daqi can deal with this person?"
Da Qi has no plans to face off against Da Chu yet, they are now in a state of recharging their energy.
Qi Yun gently fiddled with the tea lid and reminded him casually: "Master Zhou, don't forget, why did you send troops this time in the summer heat?"
"That's all for you father and son!"
"Da Qi is suffering from the cold right now. It is not the best attack for the battle, but it has to fight to the death for you and them."
"If you don't show some sincerity and my father gets angry, then nothing I say will work."
He took a sip of tea and said the most threatening words in the most calm manner.
The reason why we sent troops for Zhou Tianfu this time was to test Zhou Tianfu's loyalty and see how capable he was.
If the crisis cannot be resolved, it doesn't matter if the father and son are killed and delivered to the enemy!
Zhou Tianfu's heart skipped a beat. These words were equivalent to putting a knife on his neck, directly pressing into the aorta.
After swallowing, he quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness, I actually have a plan in mind."
"Now that the border town is facing being captured, why not let them come in along the way?"
Qi Yun frowned: "Master Zhou, are you kidding me like this?"
"Opening the city gates and sending the enemy into the city, do you really think that I have no one in the crowd? Or am I just a fool who is at your mercy!"
He slapped his palm on the table, which was so insulting.
Zhou Tianfu was so frightened that he shivered and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, calm down, I am thinking of an empty city plan!"
"Move the common people first, pretend to be depressed and flee, and secretly send people to ambush in every corner of the city."
"After they enter the city, they catch them by surprise, block the city gates, close the door and beat the dogs, killing them by surprise. This is an empty city strategy!"
"If the plan goes well, we can also capture Zhao Xifeng alive."
"If you are willing to use us, you will be more powerful than a tiger."
"If he doesn't want to, such an important general can also be used as a weapon to threaten Chu and seek benefits!"
