Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "Risk hedging means that after you finish your bet at the Sun family's casino, the Sun family will bring the gold and silver intact to our casino and bet on me to win at the same odds.
In this way, no matter what the final battle situation is, he will neither gain nor lose. To put it simply, this trick is called using the other person's way to give back to the other person. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded: "The slave family understands, but it's a pity that we don't have a casino anymore. Although we confiscated a lot of properties before, the slave family resold all the casinos."
"Okay, that's okay, the princess has the foresight. The casino is not easy to run, and it involves a lot of trivial matters, so it's okay not to want this business.
Now that everyone has started a war, I won’t pretend. In a few days, I will place all three uncles in Jinyiwei. You first go and talk to your mother and concubine, let her meet the uncles, and ask them to keep an eye on Jinyiwei and Dongchang for me. "
"I understand, husband, don't worry, you can go back to the backyard to rest."
Zhu Qiyu went back to the backyard to rest.
There was nothing to say all night, but early the next morning, everyone was busy again.
Polo spent three days setting up camp and finally finished the work. He wanted to take a good rest for a day, but Huang Pu came to see him early in the morning.
Since the Wala army came to Beijing, Huang Pu has become the spokesperson and mouthpiece of the new king, fully responsible for communicating with several Wala leaders.
So Polo was very polite and personally connected Huang Pu to the big account.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries again, and then Polo asked: "Mr. Huang came here early in the morning. What do you want to teach me?"
Huang Pu smiled and said: "The official is here to declare a war on behalf of the emperor."
"War letter?"
Huang Pu quickly took out the letter written by Zhu Qiyu and handed it to Polo.
After seeing it, Polo couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty really wants to have a one-on-one fair duel with our army?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course it is true. You are not joking. The marshal has also seen these three days. His Majesty has kept his promise and neither interfered with your army when it was encamped nor conducted a night attack.
According to what is written in His Majesty's War Letter, our army only sent out 16,000 soldiers from Yuantucheng and Minfang District to engage in a fair contest of equal strength with the Marshal.
However, since your 16,000 men are all cavalry, and among our 16,000 men, there are quite a few infantry. Therefore, we must rely on defense fortifications, focusing on defense and supplementing by attacking. I need to make this clear to the marshal first. "
Polo nodded repeatedly when he heard this and couldn't stop praising: "Your Majesty is indeed very trustworthy. After he said not to disturb us, he did not make any attack moves.
Sixteen thousand people versus sixteen thousand people is very fair. I am willing to accept your majesty's challenge. "
Huang Pu continued to add: "Your Majesty hopes that both sides will fight for honor and only advance without retreating until one side is dead. Otherwise, if they lose, they will run away. This battle will not be completed in a year."
Let's just have a good time. If the marshal wins, he will rush into Beijing from Deshengmen and make an unparalleled contribution. If your majesty wins, let your majesty annihilate all your troops and establish your supreme prestige. What does the marshal think? "
"OK, alright."
Polo really didn't think that the Ora cavalry would lose to the Ming army when the numbers of the two armies were equal.
So Huang Pu made an appointment with Bo Luo to meet Ye Xian. It is not enough for Polo to accept the challenge from the Emperor of Heaven, he also needs to acknowledge it first and promise that the main force of Wala will not join the battle group.
At this time, Ye Xian had already become a little slack: extort treasures, but the Ming Dynasty would not give them; go to war, the city of Beijing was impregnable. With the situation now like this, as long as the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty stops when enough is enough, does not rush forward for the sake of greed, and orders the entire army to hold on, the Wala army will definitely return without success this time.
So Ye Xian's thoughts have now been put on plundering along the way when withdrawing the troops. As for defeating the Ming Dynasty's 200,000-strong army, they simply did not consider it at all.
So when Huang Pu came with Bo Luo and claimed to fight to the death outside Beicheng, he was shocked and speechless at first.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and advised Huang Pu: "It's better to ask Mr. Huang to go back and persuade the new emperor. Emperor Xuande and his ministers were war-weary to an inexplicable degree. This led to the extreme weakening of Ming Dynasty's military equipment in the past twenty years.
The combat power of the Ming army has already decayed over the years.
It's not that I underestimate the new king. If he insists on showing off, the result will be the same as your supreme emperor. "
Huang Pu smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Master. Since you are so confident, do you agree to just watch the battle from the sidelines?"
Ye nodded affirmatively: "I swear in the name of my ancestors, as long as the emperor only uses these 16,000 men to fight and does not allow other Ming troops to join, the grand master will never mobilize the main force of Oala to participate in the battle."
"Okay, Grand Master is really happy, then let's make an agreement."
At this point, both Ye Xian and Zhu Qiyu felt that the other party was a fool. However, Ye Xian was the most free and easy at this time. Even if Polo's entire army was really destroyed, it would not be unacceptable to Ye Xian.
He had already thought about it beforehand. If all the three Polo brothers were really killed in the battle, then he and Boyan Timur would recruit all their soldiers and horses to wipe out Alazhiyuan's 30,000 troops with 100,000 troops. .
In this way, the internal affairs of Oara can be completely unified and the long-standing situation of co-governance by multiple parties can be ended.
Polo was completely unaware of Yexian's intentions, and he really didn't expect that Yexian would choose this moment to launch a civil war. In Polo's understanding, everyone should be on the same page now.
Huang Pu could tell, but Huang Pu didn't say anything.
Both parties think each other is stupid, but they talk and laugh affectionately on the surface. After another round of greetings, Huang Pu said goodbye and went back to the palace to report to the emperor.
At the same time that Huang Pu entered the palace, the concubine rarely left the palace and entered the palace.
After learning that Zhu Qiyu was going to start promoting her natal brothers, the concubine was overjoyed and went to the palace to have a pleasant exchange with the Queen Mother Sun.
Zhu Qiyu and his concubines all regarded the palace as a snake and a scorpion, and they were afraid to avoid it. In the entire Prince Qi's palace, the only one who was not afraid of anyone and dared to swagger into the palace was the concubine.
Concubine Wu is now the second most powerful woman in the world. Although the queen is said to be the mother of the world, there are only two supreme queens today.
After all, the Supreme Empress is one level behind the real Queen, and even if she is the real Queen, she has to give up three points when meeting the Imperial Concubine.
The most important thing is that in the entire Prince Qi's palace, only Concubine Wu is not afraid of poisoning when she enters the palace: First of all, the sterilization drug that Zhu Qiyu is most afraid of has no meaning for Concubine Wu. No one in the palace is stupid enough to give Concubine Wu a sterilization drug.
Secondly, chronic poisons will not work. Most methods of administering chronic poisons require long-term poisoning.
