Chapter 116 Contradictions

Fu Yusi looked at Du Xuetang, who had come so generously, and asked, "Are there any changes in Jin?"

"Military Adviser" Du Xuetang saluted, "Pengcheng King Jin's army was led by Jiang Wenshi, and Chen was at the border of Baizhou County. The deputy general of the northern border, Kong Shi, had just arrived in Fenchang City, Dongyang County. Wang Meng, who had been stationed in Xuancheng, was ordered to train in Xincheng."

Baizhou County is next to Pingyang and Liang'an counties in Guanzhong, and the garrisons of Xincheng and Fenchang happen to sandwich Xinyang County of the imperial court, and even deter Zhao Guo. What is the king of Jin going to do?

"Where is King Jin?" Fu Yusi stared at the map for a while and asked.

"People from Daliang report back, King Jin is hunting in the palace"

hunting!If there is an advance, the King of Jin must sit in the town himself, how can he go hunting leisurely, but if it is just a change of defense, it is not like such a big fight.

"What do you think King Jin wants to do?"

"I think it's Zhao Guo," Du Xuetang replied.

Fu Yusi frowned in disbelief, and asked "Why?"

"Kong Shi and Wang Meng are generals trusted by the king of Jin. They are both around Dongyang now. If Wu Guangyuan wants to attack the capital, Wu Guangyuan will not be inactive, so it is very likely that he wants to seize Zhao's land. Before Zhao Guo instigated Dongyang , King Jin was extremely furious, and it is not impossible to take revenge," Du Xuetang replied.

Fu Yusi didn't say yes or no, but still looked at the map, and his eyes fell on Guanzhong Liang'an County "Xuetang, you forgot that Nangongxun is still in Jin Kingdom"

"However, the military adviser once said that if Jin sends troops to Guanzhong, it should send troops from Fengjiang County. It is best to send troops from both sides after occupying Jintian Pass. Now it seems inappropriate to send troops from Baizhou."

Du Xuetang also looked at the map, he is no longer what he was in the past, when the King Jin army sent troops from Baizhou, it would be very easy for Pingyang or Zhao Guojun to step in. Besides, the new government of the Jin State is stable, this is not the time to occupy Guanzhong.

Fu Yusi didn't make a sound for a long time, Guanzhong was too important to Wu Guo, he couldn't be careless, "Nangongxun has disappeared for too long, find out where he is?"

"Yes" Du Xuetang saluted and resigned, he knew that Fu Yusi was still hesitant.

Fu Yusi walked out of the hall, and there were many armors in the corridors of the palace. He looked at it for a while and sighed, King Jin was an anomaly, and the appearance of this person disrupted the national policy that Wu had originally set.

Zhao State and Jin State both have geographical advantages over the capital, but Wu State does not. The river is dangerous, even a barrier is also an obstacle. Jin, Zhao, and the court changed, and they went north to set the world in one fell swoop.

The counties in Guanzhong have been pinned down by King Jin. The reason why Fu Yusi is sure that Jin will not attack Zhao is because even if Zhao is captured, it will be an enclave to Jin, which is useless but a burden.

On the other hand, if the Jin State occupies the two counties of Liang An and Pingyang, owns the upper reaches of the river, and trains naval forces, then if the State of Wu makes a move, it will go down the river to obstruct the Wu army. Once the State of Wu and the State of Jin fall into a tug-of-war, the State of Wu will be at a disadvantage.

When it comes to iron cavalry, the northern border army is the first, followed by the cavalry of the King Jin army, followed by the three battalions of the capital. Although the navy of Wu State is invincible, the cavalry is too weak. The odds are against the odds.

Jingshan Palace

A burst of flute sounded intermittently, still out of tune, but at least it barely caught my ears. Qin Yu put down the flute and looked at Nangong Yuliang beside him.

"My lord is smart and has made rapid progress," Nangong Yuliang stepped forward and said.

Qin Yu frowned slightly when he heard his words, not sure if it was caused by the past, but always felt that the priest Nangong was mocking him.

"What?" Nangong Yuliang thought he didn't understand something.

"It's nothing." Qin Yu sat down with a smile and said, "Yu Liang is free to play chess with me."

For the sake of planning and keeping secrets, there are only him and Nangong's father and son in this palace, and sometimes he gets tired of looking at the beautiful scenery, so he sees Nangong Priest more often when nothing happens.

"Please teach me." Nangong Yuliang sat down. He likes to play chess very much, and his chess skills are superb. He wins more and loses less.

Qin Yu picked up the white pieces, and after a few rounds, he looked at the board and said with a smile, "Yuliang is good at chess, but was it taught by the master of Nangong?"

"That's right, I have been quiet since I was a child. My father said that I am suitable for playing chess." Nangong Yuliang smiled, and suddenly asked, "My lord is very good at riding and shooting. I don't know who taught him. I should be quite proud now."

"probably not"

"Why?" Nangong Yuliang looked up strangely.

Hehe... Qin Yu dropped a son, looked at him and said, "This king's riding and shooting was taught by King Wu"

Nangong Yuliang was stunned for a moment, speechless, and a little bit embarrassed. When King Wu taught King Jin hand in hand, he never thought of today.

"Actually," King Jin spoke again, interrupting Nangong Yuliang's thoughts, saying, "Brother Wu Wang is the best in riding and shooting. When he was 15 years old when he was hunting in Xiyuan, he was invincible and shot a pattern alone." The fierce tiger, my father is full of praise, this king can't even ride a horse at that time."

When he was young, King Wu was admired by Qin Yu. He was extraordinary in riding and shooting, he was righteous and handsome, and all the young ladies in the capital admired him.Back then, Qin Yu pestered the King of Wu to learn riding and archery, and he received a lot of dislike, so it was Fu Yusi who softened his heart and helped him talk about the King of Wu.

The admiration in King Jin's eyes was so real that it made Nangong Yuliang want to meet King Wu for a moment.

"I don't know what kind of person this King Wu is?" He said with emotion.

"You see this person." Qin Yu withdrew his thoughts, looked at Nangong Yuliang and said, "You know what a hero is."

Hero... Nangong Yuliang muttered, with a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, "What about the prince?"

"My king" Qin Yu thought about it seriously for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "This king is the king of Jin."

Nangong Yuliang was puzzled, then shook his head and smiled, knowing that this person was very suspicious, so why bother to ask too much.Turning his gaze back to the chess game, Nangong Yuliang suddenly found himself at a disadvantage unknowingly.

"I didn't expect the master's chess skills to be so superb," ​​Nangong Yuliang said with a solemn expression.

"Priest, besides hunting, another hobby of this King is playing chess." Qin Yu also looked at the chess game and said while making moves, "Do you know why?"

"Appreciate further details"

"Because this king was defeated when he was learning chess, and he has never lost a game since then." After finishing speaking, Qin Yu suddenly remembered that he had deliberately lost to Du Xuetang.

"Never defeated." Nangong Yuliang raised his eyebrows, rarely showing dissatisfaction on his usually gentle face, and said to King Jin with a smile, "I don't know if Yuliang will be lucky enough to let the prince lose today?"

Haha... Qin Yu laughed, tilted his head and said "It's an honor"

a quarter of an hour later

"Yuliang's chess skills are really extraordinary, maybe he can really beat this king." Qin Yu closed his hand and picked up his teacup, and said a word of comfort.

Nangong Yuliang looked at the chess game, sighed, and was convinced of the loss. Looking at the relaxed King Jin, he said with a smile, "I'm afraid the prince doesn't think so in his heart, so why bother to compliment him?"

"Because this king is hypocritical"

"Prince" Nangong Yuliang smiled deeper, and said to him, "This statement is the most candid"

Hehe...Qin Yu put his hands on the armrest and looked at Nangong Yuliang opposite. The little priest seemed to still have that straightforward and sincere temperament, but there was no contempt and resentment towards himself in his eyes.

"Yuliang" Qin Yu looked at him, "there is something I would like to ask you."

"My lord please speak"

"Priests are not flattering people, and they have misunderstood me a lot." Qin Yu asked with great interest, "It's just that he seems to have changed his gender recently?"

His Royal Highness King Jin has too many thoughts, he wants to test whether the change of this little priest is related to his father, so as to know Nangong Xun's attitude towards the state of Jin.

Nangong Yuliang was silent for a moment, and replied, "I just know the prince better." There was indeed a reason for his father's warning, but it was more than that.

"I've heard this before," Qin Yu joked.

"Jin's new policy has been stabilized by the lord." Nangong Yuliang thought of Dongyang County, and felt depressed. "Nian Ziping's wish has come true. The lord did not lie. He deserves to die for Jin."

Nian Ziping... Qin Yu thought of the news of the previous few days, suddenly felt uncomfortable, and said slowly, "Actually, death is death, it's not worth it or not"

"My lord, you don't have to be too harsh, after all..." This is a framed by the family.

"Do you know Nian Ziping's mother?" Qin Yu interrupted him, and said blankly, "She was hit by a pillar and died in front of the king's envoy a few days ago." Before she died, she scolded herself for being innocent. I still broke my promise.

This... Nangong Yuliang felt uncomfortable, lowered his head and didn't know what to say, as expected, death is death, what is worth it or not.

"I've been bothering you for half a day, my king bids farewell"

"Congratulations to the prince"

King Jin nodded slightly, turned to leave, Nangong Yuliang looked at him for a while, and suddenly said impulsively, "You don't seem to like to accept other people's kindness, and you don't want others to see King Jin's kindness."

King Jin turned around, his thick black eyebrows huddled into a line, watching him without saying a word, Nangong Yuliang looked at those eyes and understood the meaning.

"Yuliang offended, the prince forgives the sin." Nangong Yuliang saluted respectfully, and King Jin left silently.

Straightening up, Nangong Yuliang sat back at the stone table, staring at the chess game, recalling King Jin's frank and forthright appearance.

King Jin was undoubtedly a strange person, but when Nangong Yuliang got to know him a little better, he could understand why he was so strange.

King Jin, Emperor Xuan, or the kings of this world are all contradictory. King Jin is lonely because he is uneasy. He does not trust anyone except himself. King Jin hopes that everyone will be courtiers and kneel at his feet, so that he can feel at ease , but scared again.

Because no matter how calm and self-reliant, how indifferent and ruthless King Jin is, he is still an ordinary person after all. He wants to be liked by the world, still hopes that others can treat each other sincerely, and even hopes to make a friend with peace of mind, but these seem to be different for King Jin Some difficulty.

Faced with the betrayal of his courtiers, the rebellion of his relatives, and the tricks of his enemies, King Jin could only become more and more indifferent and more calculating. Under the accumulation of too much hypocrisy, the truth is no longer the most important thing in his heart, but Occasionally thinking about it can still make King Jin still feel the guilt in his heart, making him feel sad and uneasy.

In all fairness, despite those hypocrisy and contradictions, King Jin is a very easy-going person, easy-going and funny, with a bit of willfulness of a dandy, but still bold and frank, but it is a pity that he is the King of Jin, and it is difficult to be called a confidant .

Qin Yu thought about Nangong Yuliang's words, he didn't understand, but he didn't like it, he didn't like it intuitively, as if he missed something.

"Prince" Li Han came in and interrupted Qin Yu's meditation.

"Why is there any movement in someone's house?" Qin Yu asked after returning to his senses.Kong Shi has already arrived in Fenchang City, and he was there with Wang Botai. These movements of the Jin State are enough to spread all over the place, making all parties speculate.

"Guarding General Kong Qing's family" Li Han was calm on the face, but he was terrified in his heart. The guarding general Kong Qing almost always followed King Jin's side. He has been guarding King Jin since he was King Yan. It was unexpected...

"He!" Qin Yu nodded, and continued without emotion, "Go ahead, don't startle the snake."

"Yes" Li Han agreed, saluted and retreated.

Sigh... A guard who has been with me for ten years can become a traitor, how can I sleep peacefully, how can I not make me angry!

Capital

"The king of Jin stationed troops in Fenchang" King Zhao just received the reward, "Sir, do you think they are coming to the country of Zhao?"

"No." Bei Zhengqing said unhurriedly, "The King of Jin wants Guanzhong."

"In this way," Zhao Wang thought about it, and said with some worry, "Nangongxun has completely fallen for King Jin, otherwise Jin would dare."

The reason why King Jin sent troops from Baizhou County was precisely because Baizhou County was next to Liang'an County, which was Nangongxun's hometown, so it was easier to control.

"Does Zhao Guo want to send troops to stop it?" King Zhao asked.

"No, we can't stop it." Bei Zhengqing looked at King Zhao, but said happily, "We can occupy An County, Jiaozhou County, Chen Bing River, and condemn King Jin."

King Zhao's eyes lit up, and he understood what Bei Zhengqing meant. Although the courts of the two counties were unwilling to give up, but King Zhao and King Jin, Emperor Xuan could only choose King Zhao and would never cooperate with King Jin, so the courts of these two counties did not agree. Be willing to give up.

What's more, if the King of Jin blatantly occupied Liang'an County by force, there would be an uproar in the world, and the condemnation of the King of Jin would be both famous and profitable.

"Guanzhong, what King Jin wants is Guanzhong," Fu Yusi said firmly.

"The lower officials are negligent," Du Xuetang said with his head slightly lowered.Daliang sent back a secret report that Nan Gongxun was secretly invited by the King of Jin to the Jingshan Palace. This move was to prepare for the attack on Liang An.

"It seems that Nangong Xun has completely fallen for King Jin." Fu Yusi's eyes flashed coldly, with a murderous look.

"That's right." Du Xuetang nodded, "Kong Shi, Wang Meng and others are just trying to confuse us. Immediately, King Jin will order the guard battalion to secretly send him and Nangong Xun to Baizhou, and then quickly send troops to occupy Liang'an County. The prestige gradually subdued the gentlemen and nobles of Liang An"

"If you want Guanzhong, it's so easy." Fu Yusi smiled coldly and said to him, "The people who passed on the order of Jin will kill Nangongxun at all costs."

"Yes" Du Xuetang understood Fu Yusi's meaning, Nangong Xun died in the state of Jin, there was a lot to be done about this matter, Liang An's gentry would be panicked, and the king of Jin had to withdraw from the army.
