Iron Dynasty

Twenty thousand soldiers enter Shu!

The third prince's expression was a little stiff.

This time when the King of Chu betrayed him, he also betrayed the King of Shu. After all, the King of Shu would not be loyal to the King of Chu because of his rebelliousness.

In this way, the King of Shu became a lonely man, and he could not last long in the face of the attack of the King of Zhao.

After all, King Zhao mastered the forging technique of arquebuses and trained a group of musket teams. With muskets plus black armored cavalry and barbarian cavalry, the situation of the king of Shu was very difficult.

If Xiao Ming hadn't provided him with a batch of artillery to defend the city, it would be a question whether the king of Shu could survive until now. Therefore, in the view of the third prince, Xiao Ming attached great importance to Bashu, otherwise he would not have abandoned the king of Shu who disliked him in the past. Provide artillery and ammunition.

It was with this in mind that when the King of Chu decided to escort him to Qingzhou, he had some luck in his heart, because to Xiao Ming he still had a little use, but to the King of Chu he was a complete drag.

This is just the first batch of soldiers. In my opinion, 20,000 elites are enough to help the King of Shu stop the King of Zhao from going south. Of course, the premise is that the King of Shu is a vassal to me. If he doesn't do it, the 20,000 people will be the last force to crush him. Straw, understand? Xiao Ming's tone was beyond doubt.

The third prince was silent for a while, and then he said, Is it possible that the emperor let the criminals enter Shu to persuade the king of Shu to return to his heart?

No, I want you to replace him. The king of Shu is stupid, but you are talented and smart, it is more suitable to hand Bashu to you.

Leave it to the sinner? Isn't the emperor afraid that the sinner will occupy Bashu and support the troops? The third prince was a little confused.

Xiao Ming laughed when he heard the words, I just put you in charge of the government affairs of Bashu. I have the final say in this military matter. Do you think that these 20,000 people entered Shu just to help defend against King Zhao?

The third prince's heart sank. Only then did he understand what Xiao Ming's plan was. Once the king of Shu declared himself a minister, Xiao Ming could justifiably use the king of Shu to defend against the king of Zhao and revoke the king of the king.

In order to appease the King of Shu, Xiao Ming asked him to replace the King of Shu, but all he could have was the name of the King of Shu, but there was no real King of Shu in him.

Seeing that the third prince fell into silence, Xiao Ming reminded him at this time: For me, this is just a solution. Even if King Zhao occupies Bashu, I will only spend more money in the future.

The alliance of the three kings has failed miserably. How can a single King Zhao be the emperor's opponent? The three princes, the emperor just can't bear the royal family to continue to kill each other. This is a chance for you to live and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth. If you miss it, it will be true. No more. Qian Dafu and Xiao Ming sang double reeds.

The third prince had a complicated expression and was obviously struggling in his heart. He asked, What is the emperor going to do with the King of Shu?

How about letting him be a leisurely prince? Xiao Ming took a sip of his tea and took a sip. For him, the most important thing now is to stabilize Bashu and prevent King Zhao's plan from succeeding.

As for the third prince and the king of Shu, there is nothing to stay for the time being. After all, the two have no military power, but they are just fish on the chopping board.

If the two of them can honestly be a leisurely prince, that's all, if they are not honest, they can kill them at any time.

And if his plan is successful, he will be able to get the land of the land of Bashu, avoid an expedition and also restrain the expansion of the king of Zhao.

The emperor's words are true!

The third prince rolled his eyes, but he was not a fool, Xiao Ming thought of everything he thought, so he said: If the emperor is sincere, I hope the emperor can give the king of Shu and the criminals a gold medal! Sin cannot kill him!

Gold Medal for Avoidance! Xiao Ming showed a confused look.

Qian Dafu knew that Xiao Ming was not very clear about the past of the Great Yu Kingdom, so he explained: Your Majesty, at the beginning of the Great Yu Kingdom, the great ancestor once rewarded three generals under his command with gold medals to avoid death, and set rules to avoid the death of gold medalists. You cannot kill unless you are guilty of treason.”

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words. This death-free gold medal has also appeared in contemporary history. In fact, it was just a form of appeasement by the emperor to those who had merit.

In the course of contemporary history, this death-free gold medal has been proven to be of little use. Since the crime of treason cannot be spared, as long as officials make a fuss about it, they can still kill them. After all, sometimes they say that you are guilty. Not guilty, guilty is not guilty.

But if the third prince can really change his mind and support him loyally, he doesn't have to kill him.

So Xiao Ming just thought about it for a while and said, This is easy. As long as you do this for me, I will give you two gold medals to avoid death, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of prosperity.

The third prince breathed a sigh of relief. This time he was right. For him, let things continue to develop. He and his younger brother are just dead words. Now it is a fortune that Gu Gou is alive.

Thank you, Emperor Longen. The third prince bowed deeply.

Xiao Ming was even satisfied in his heart, if he won Yan, Liang, Zhao, and then Bashu, he would be untouchable in the Great Yu Kingdom.

The two reached an agreement. Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to arrange a residence for the third prince in Qingzhou City. When 20,000 soldiers came back from the front line, he would send the third prince and these soldiers to enter along the Yangtze River on battleships and merchant ships. Bashu.

After all, the king of Huainan was attached, and the warships along the Yangtze River could be supplied, and the feudal kingdom between the king of Shu and the king of Huainan was just a king of Ruyang who only owned the land of three states, which was equivalent to the junction of contemporary western Hubei and Chongqing.

At the same time, entering Shu this time is also a deterrent to King Ruyang. Now only King Ruyang has not contacted him, and he does not know what King Ruyang is thinking.

After taking control of Bashu, this King Ruyang was caught between the King of Huainan and the Bashu under his control. He believed that King Ruyang would not be able to sit still at this time.

When the third prince left, Qian Dafu said again: Your Majesty, in addition to the third prince, Cui Xue'er, the daughter of the King of Huainan, has also arrived in Qingzhou. Does the emperor want to see what this Cui Xue'er looks like? The emperor has worked hard day and night these past few days. It's for fun.

Speaking of this, Qian Dafu suddenly laughed thiefly. In his opinion, it was normal for the emperor to accept the concubine.

Xiao Ming's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, but he thought about it and dismissed the idea. After all, since Cui Xue'er was here, he would have to go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager soon. At this time, he would accompany the Empress Dowager to see her.

Moreover, Fei Yue'er was pregnant and was about to give birth. At this time, he was playing with the romantic affairs. He was still a little uneasy, and he didn't want to be caught by the ministers.

Thinking of this, he said to Qian Dafu: That's all, why don't you follow me to see how this palace is built?
