Da Chu Imperial Palace.
Xiang Chong held a letter and read it again and again.
"wonderful!"
"It's really wonderful!"
"If we can eradicate Fan Li this time, Dachu will really be my world from now on!"
"The Ming Dynasty is indeed very powerful. In addition to the 450,000 troops in Yunzhou City, it can also dispatch 300,000 troops to ambush Fan Li."
This is an extremely funny scene.
As the Emperor of Chu, Xiang Chong obeyed a letter from the Ming Dynasty.
He even asked the general manager Chen Eunuch to rush to the front of the army to deliver an edict, urging Fan Li to fall into the trap that had been set early.
Xiang Chong read the letter again and again, like a treasure that he couldn't put down.
"The battle of Yunzhou is the fault of the Three Kingdoms."
"Emperor Chu was benevolent, virtuous and intelligent. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been a good neighbor and friendly with our country, the Ming Dynasty, and has never offended..."
"...After this battle, the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu will be destroyed, and Daci will not be able to survive."
"I, His Majesty the Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, would like to become brothers with His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."
"The sun and moon are proof, and mountains and rivers are proof."
"The two emperors of Chu and Ming respected each other and formed an eternal alliance."
"Foreign Minister Zhang Juzheng, I would like to pay my respects to His Majesty the Holy Ming Yingwu Emperor Chu."
like!
love it!
Xiang Chong had not been praised like this for a long time, and he couldn't put it down with the letters in his hands!
Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful person in the world, is his brother?
From then on, the Chu State and the Ming Dynasty became emperors in the east and west, and the two emperors were respected together?
Of course Xiang Chong is not a fool and will not trust outsiders' promises easily.
But who is Zhang Juzheng?
The new noble of the Ming Dynasty, the third most important minister in the cabinet, only behind the first assistant Yan Song and the second assistant Xu Jie of the Ming Dynasty.
The autographed letter sent by Zhang Juzheng also has the seal of the Ming Dynasty's ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch's approval pen. Can this still be faked?
"Have I achieved the highest achievement among all the Chu emperors in the past, except for our ancestors and overlords?!"
Xiang Chong was ecstatic and trembling with excitement!
"Um...Your Majesty?"
Eunuch Chen, who came back from outside in a panic, saw Xiang Chong trembling all over like sifting chaff, and thought he was ill.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Do you need to call a doctor?"
"Asshole! I'm fine. What kind of doctor can I ask for?"
Xiang Chong was slightly angry and glared at Eunuch Chen.
But the old eunuch was one of his own after all, and Xiang Chong's anger faded as quickly as it came.
He asked with great anticipation: "Has my oral message been passed on to Fan Li? Does he agree to march at full speed and arrive at the Yunzhou battlefield within two days?"
"Forehead……"
Eunuch Chen said to himself that he only had the courage to announce the decree, so how could he dare to ask Fan Li if he would agree?
But Eunuch Chen also knew that it was impossible for Xiang Chong to check whether his work was completed.
So, let’s just make it up.
"Your Majesty, the traitor Fan Li has indeed agreed to rush to Yunzhou City as quickly as possible."
Xiang Chong was overjoyed.
"Hahaha!"
"Very good!"
"Fan Li was marching in a hurry, and he definitely didn't bother to carefully explore the route."
"Zhang Juzheng has already laid out a dragnet and 300,000 ambushes to ensure that Fan Li never returns!"
After saying that, Xiang Chong laughed up to the sky again.
Eunuch Chen knelt down and bowed wisely: "Your Majesty is wise!"
However, the old eunuch was also muttering in his heart.
The Chu Dynasty was much weaker than the Ming Dynasty. This time Fan Li was ambushed and died, and his 100,000 garrison troops would definitely not be able to survive.
Lose 100,000 elites in one go?
From now on, is Da Chu really qualified to share the world equally with Ming Dynasty?
Eunuch Chen almost wanted to speak, but seeing Xiang Chong beaming with joy, he finally held back and did not dare to take the initiative to cause Xiang Chong's trouble.
So, in the next few days, Xiang Chong waited for the news that Fan Li's army had been wiped out.
He even personally wrote a memorial to Fan Li and the 100,000 garrison.
Xiang Chong is still willing to do some work on the scene.
However, the 'good news' was delayed.
Because Fan Li and the 100,000 garrison... actually disappeared.
"Missing?"
"How can it be!"
Xiang Chong didn't want to believe it, but he didn't dare not believe it.
Just now, he received the second letter from Zhang Juzheng's envoy, confirming this matter.
"Zhang Juzheng waited for three days at the ambush site, but did not see Fan Li's army."
"He sent secret sentries to search everywhere, but because the timing was too late, there was no trace of the 100,000-strong army?"
Xiang Chong's face was full of disbelief.
But the letter in his hand, with the familiar handwriting of Zhang Juzheng, was genuine.
In the letter, Zhang Juzheng was full of harsh criticism towards Xiang Chong.
"The foreign minister led an army of 300,000, and his original intention was to ambush Fan Li."
"Now, Fan Li is hiding in the dark. If the foreign ministers act without permission, all three hundred thousand ambushes will be exposed."
"If I continue to ambush, my 300,000 people will be restrained by Fan Li's mere 100,000 soldiers, and they will not be able to rush to rescue Yunzhou City."
"This is all your Majesty's fault!"
"In the future, my lord, His Majesty the Emperor Jiajing, will have to argue with His Majesty."
Xiang Chong was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
He swallowed hard and looked at Queen Mother Li and Eunuch Chen beside him.
"Mother... Eunuch Chen, how do you think... Emperor Jiajing will argue with me?"
"He...he won't kill me, right?!"
The number one person in the world has, after all, accumulated prestige for a long time.
Xiang Chong only fantasized about being brothers with Emperor Jiajing for a few days, but it suddenly burst like a bubble.
"Probably not?"
Empress Dowager Li had lived in the palace for a long time and had never seen Emperor Jiajing at all. She was just making random guesses.
"Your Majesty, please don't be afraid. If it really doesn't work, why don't you write a letter to apologize to His Majesty Jiajing?"
The old lady on the side listened and rolled her eyes uncontrollably.
What is this mess?
Write a letter, apologize?
The battle between emperors and the country, can this be resolved by a letter of apology?
Zhang Juzheng's letter was fierce in attitude, but the wording was vague. It was clearly a sophisticated Spring and Autumn writing style, in order to make more progress and retreat in the future.
After the war, if the Ming Dynasty was strong, it could attack the Chu State and even kill Xiang Chong and Queen Mother Li.
If the war goes unfavorably and the Ming Dynasty is weak, the Chu and Ming countries can still secretly communicate and collude.
"His Majesty."
Eunuch Chen also has a limited amount of ink in his belly.
He held it in for a long time before he came up with an idea that wasn't even an idea.
"Why don't you ask your Majesty to write a letter and have Lord Zhang's secret envoy bring it back to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty said that he is willing to do his best to search for Fan Li's whereabouts and cooperate with Lord Zhang to eliminate him?"
Xiang Chong said blankly: "But... even Zhang Juzheng can't find Fan Li, how can I find him?"
It seems that Xiang Chong has a clear understanding of his abilities?
Eunuch Chen sighed helplessly and reminded: "Your Majesty, this letter is just to express your attitude, so as not to further anger Ming Dynasty. As for whether Fan Li can be found, it is not important. As you just said, Master Zhang can't find him. How can you find it when you get to Fanli?"
"yes!"
Xiang Chong suddenly understood and patted Eunuch Chen on the shoulder excitedly.
"Eunuch Chen, you are truly my ovary!"
Zifang, also known as Zhang Liang, was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
Eunuch Chen quickly knelt down and said he did not dare.
But in the old eunuch's heart, there was another kind of complaint.
"...Your Majesty is somewhat forgetting his ancestors. After all, he is a descendant of the Overlord, but he compares himself to the ministers of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty?"
"Even if I, old slave, am not worthy of being Fan Zeng, can't I still be Uncle Xiang?"
Zhang Liang should be regarded as the most perfect counselor image in history.
He is extremely intelligent and handsome, surpassing women.
Her merits are high but not shocking, and she can start and end well with Liu Bang. Even a mean and jealous strong woman like Lu Fei gets along well with him.
If possible in the future, I will challenge to write an alternate history novel, hoping to write a perfect adviser with a character like Zhang Liang, regardless of the protagonist or supporting role.
