Princess Zixuan had always believed that Ye Yun was still alive. Now that she heard the news of Ye Yun's return, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, without the dullness of the past.
However, after hearing the news of Ye Yun's return, some people in the royal city were not in a happy mood at this time.
Outside the royal city, there is a manor in the northwest. On the surface, it is the property of a wealthy businessman in the Xia Kingdom, but in fact it is the secret property of Shangguan Haoming.
The reason why this place is not placed under the influence of the Shangguan family is to deceive others and do some shameful things.
At this time, three figures were sitting in the hall of the manor.
The main seat is Shangguan Haoming, and the guest seats are Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing.
After the three people dispersed from the court meeting, they each came here in secret ways.
"Both,"
"What do you two think about Ye Yun's resurrection from the dead?"
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea, Shangguan Haoming said slowly.
Opposite him, Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing looked at each other but said nothing.
Ye Yun's sudden return also caught them off guard.
Who would have thought that once the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain is closed for hundreds of years, the iron law that the people inside will never come out will become invalid when it comes to Ye Yun.
"Why, stop talking now!"
"When you were getting benefits, each one of you was faster than anyone else."
"Why are you pretending to be mute now!"
Seeing the looks of Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing, Shangguan Haoming couldn't help but have a hint of anger in his tone.
Previously, Shangguan Haoming had spent a lot of blood in order to compete for the position of General Zhenguo that had been vacated after Ye Yun's death.
Originally, he had already arranged the position of General Zhenguo for Shangguan Yongqi through an exchange of interests.
In the end, he didn't expect that a dark horse like Ye Yun would be killed midway, and he would directly cut off the position of General Zhenguo belonging to the Shangguan family, causing all the resources he invested to be wasted.
But this time, when the news of Ye Yun's death came out, he originally thought that he would be sure of success this time, but in the end, he was about to succeed, but he fell short because of Ye Yun's return, causing him to lose a lot of resources in vain. .
At this moment, his heart was filled with infinite hatred for Ye Yun.
However, Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing, who were sitting opposite him, couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. They would not spit out the meat that had been put into their mouths.
But now that Ye Yun has returned, it is no longer feasible to plan to become a general in the country. They have no choice but to make up for Shangguan Haoming's losses elsewhere.
At the same time, after Nangong Wudi left the court meeting, he ran directly to Ye Yun's home. As for Ye Yun's talk of visiting him, he had long forgotten it.
After entering Ye Yun's mansion, a servant brought tea to the hall, and the two sat opposite each other.
"well!"
"Ye Yun, you really didn't disappoint me!"
At this time, Nangong Wudi looked at Ye Yun and couldn't help but said with satisfaction.
From the moment he entered, he sensed that Ye Yun's strength had improved horribly. This was definitely a rare piece of good news for Xia State, which was currently facing a national war.
"Thank you Marshal!"
After hearing Nangong Wudi's words, Ye Yun said sincerely.
Ye Yun was naturally aware of Nangong Wuyi's concern for him. This was the first time he felt cared for by others since the Ye family suffered a crisis.
"There's no need to say thank you. You're back today, and I have something important to discuss with you here!"
Waving his hands indifferently, Nangong Wudi looked at Ye Yun solemnly and said.
Nangong Wudi kept silent about what happened to Ye Yun in the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain. After all, everyone has their own secrets!
"The secret agent reported that the Zhao army is gathering and moving towards our Xia country's Qingzhou. Ye Yun, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Nangong Wudi was a straightforward person, and after exchanging pleasantries with Ye Yun, he directly stated his intention.
Regarding telling Ye Yun such state secret information, Nangong Wudi actually had two meanings.
The first is to test Ye Yun and see what insights he can have.
Secondly, this time when the Zhao Kingdom invaded, he planned to discuss with Dongfang Yingzheng to let Ye Yun lead the troops, which would enhance Ye Yun's prestige in the army.
After hearing Nangong Wudi's words again, Ye Yun couldn't help but his eyes narrowed and his tone became a little heavy. He said:
"The Xia Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom have not had a battle-level war for many years. Why did they mobilize heavy troops to attack Qingzhou this time? This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."
If a battle-level war breaks out between the two countries, a war of this intensity can easily turn into an endless national war.
In recent decades, although the Zhao State and the Xia State have continued to have disputes, they have been deliberately controlling the intensity of the battle. It has always been a small friction on the border.
But this time, the significance of Zhao Guo launching such a large-scale army was completely different from before. They had obviously planned it in advance, and their plans were not small.
You must know that if a war of this level is not won or enough gains are achieved, it will easily fall into a state of endless struggle, which will greatly deplete the vitality of the two countries.
"Yes, I think so too!"
Seeing Ye Yun's words, Nangong Wudi couldn't help but smile on his face, thinking that he had indeed read Ye Yun correctly.
However, he hoped that Ye Yun could do better, so he continued:
"Then Ye Yun, what do you think we should do when facing Zhao's military front?"
After hearing Nangong Wudi's question, Ye Yun pondered for a while, and then analyzed in a solemn tone:
"Qingzhou is an important place in our Xia Kingdom and is rich in gold and iron ore. Its annual gold and iron output accounts for half of our Xia Kingdom's."
"Moreover, Qingzhou is rich in water and grass. It has the largest pasture in our Xia Kingdom. The battlefields of hundreds of thousands of cavalry are almost all provided by Qingzhou Ranch."
"If Qingzhou is captured by Zhao, not to mention the loss of gold and iron ore, just the loss of Qingzhou's pastures will turn hundreds of thousands of Xia's cavalry into rootless water,"
"Once Qingzhou is lost, our military strength will be greatly weakened, and the strength of Zhao State after gaining Qingzhou will become unprecedentedly powerful."
"Even if they just looted Qingzhou, the impact on our Xia Kingdom would be extremely huge."
"Moreover, once the Zhao State plans to establish a foothold in Qingzhou, our north will lose its vast strategic depth, and their military fronts can be directed towards the royal city."
Looking at Ye Yun who was talking eloquently, Nangong Wudi's expression became gentler and gentler. Ye Yun's analysis was correct and almost the same as what he thought.
"So, Ye Yun, you mean that we need to send troops to support Qingzhou?"
"That's right!"
Ye Yun replied calmly at this time.
