Chapter 732 Da Kang is too much
Chapter 732 Da Kang is too much
"My Lord, you should also know that I am from the Yan family of Yanzhou."
“And my Yan family has an escort agency in Yanshui City, and we have many people who can fight!”
"I can contact them, and we can work together from inside and outside to break open the city gate!"
"As long as the Marquis occupies Yanshui, it will be easy to take Qingshan City!"
"Moreover, I have concluded that the Eighth Sage King must be waiting for us in Qingshan City right now."
"He would never have thought that we would go to attack Yanshui City instead of going to the far end!"
Yan Youling said this excitedly.
Jiang Chen was also extremely moved when he heard Yan Youling’s words!
Yan Youling's trick really works!
If we work together inside and outside to open the city gate, we can definitely capture Yanshui City!
However, if he took away 20,000 guards, the safety of Yanzhou City would be in jeopardy...
"My Lord, are you worried about the safety of Yanzhou City?" Yan Youling saw Jiang Chen's worry and asked respectfully.
"Not bad!"
"If we take away the 20,000 guards, what will happen if the Eighth Sage King attacks Yanzhou City again?"
Jiang Chen did not hide anything, but directly expressed his thoughts.
"Haha, my Lord, you worry too much!"
Yan Youling smiled faintly and said, "My Lord, not to mention that Yanzhou Chen still has nearly 5,000 defenders! It will take time for the Eighth Sage King to attack!"
"Besides, even if the Eighth Sage King knew we were leaving, he probably wouldn't dare to leave Qingshan City!"
"why?"
Jiang Chen looked confused!
"My Lord, although the Eighth Sage King is smart, he is very suspicious!"
"I'm sure that if we leave Yanzhou City and don't go to Qingshan City, the Eighth Sage King will think that this is our strategy to lure the enemy!"
"We want to lure them out of Qingshan City and attack them!"
"So, he will never leave the city easily!"
Yan Youling smiled proudly.
……
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard Yan Youling's analysis!
If Yan Youling's analysis is true, then they have a great chance of winning!
"Okay! Then let's follow Mr. Yan's advice!"
"I will call up the troops now. We will set out immediately!"
"Thank you for your trust, sir!"
Yan Youling was extremely excited when she heard Jiang Chen's words!
Jiang Chen believed in her, that was her chance!
This time, she must seize this opportunity!
That afternoon, Jiang Chen set off with Yan Youling and his group, as well as 20,000 guards!
At the same time, a fast horse rushed into the capital city!
"Who... who is this? How dare they ride a horse in the capital?"
"Hush! You don't want to live! That's General Chu's eldest son!"
"What!? The son of General Chu!?"
"How is this possible!? Isn't the Chu family stationed at the border of Dakang? Is there something wrong with Dakang!?"
People in the capital were talking about it.
For a moment, people were panicked!
After all, the rebellion of the Eight Wise Kings in Dajing has not been resolved yet.
Now, Dakang is looking for trouble again...what should they do?!
Chu Zhan, the eldest son of the Chu family, came all the way to the gate of the palace!
When Emperor Dajing learned that Chu Zhan had returned, he hurriedly ordered people to bring Chu Zhan in!
"General, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After Chu Zhan entered the imperial study, he knelt on the ground with a thud!
"Chu Aiqing, please stand up quickly!"
"You suddenly returned from the border, but something happened at the border!?"
Emperor Dajing asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty!"
"Dakang is attacking our Dajing!"
Chu Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "A few days ago, Dakang suddenly sent an envoy to our Dajing."
"The messenger said that Dakang suffered a drought this year and is now short of food. He hopes to borrow some food from Dajing!"
"If Dajing doesn't agree, they will go to war!"
……
"What!?"
When Emperor Dajing heard this, he became furious!
"This Dakang is really going too far!"
"I just gave them food and fodder a while ago. Have they forgotten about it?"
"Now...where can we get food in Dajing now? "
When Chu Zhan heard what the Emperor of Dajing said, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, our border troops are not afraid of death, but... we have always lacked weapons and equipment, and even food and grass!"
"If we start a war now, I'm afraid... we in Dajing will suffer!"
"Insufficient food supplies!?"
“Lack of weapons and equipment!?”
"How can this be!?"
"I have spent more than half of Dajing's taxes on the border troops!"
"This this……"
The Emperor of Dajing became angrier and angrier as he spoke!
But when Chu Zhan heard this, he knelt down again!
"Your Majesty, I have come here in person to report the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War!"
"For a long time, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War have withheld our border troops' food and wages and embezzled our weapons and equipment money!"
"To the point that the border troops are living a life worse than that of dogs!"
"If this continues for too long, I'm afraid the border troops will lose their will to fight!"
"When the time comes, Dajing... How will Dajing resist the foreign enemies?!"
"Your Majesty, please look carefully!"
Chu Zhan said this with tears in his eyes!
But after hearing Chu Zhan's words, Emperor Dajing was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
……
"Good! What a bunch of corrupt officials!"
"If I don't destroy them, I am not worthy of being the emperor of Dajing!"
"Come here, call the governor of Kyoto..."
Emperor Dajing was just about to ask Xuan Jiangchen to come to the emperor to investigate the matter.
But he suddenly remembered that Jiang Chen... was not in the capital now!
"Someone, come! Call Eunuch Zhang to me!"
"I want to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"According to the order!"
When Xiaoquanzi heard what Emperor Dajing said, he hurried to call Eunuch Zhang himself.
After Koizumi left, Emperor Dajing looked at Chu Zhan!
"Lord Chu, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the issue of the border army's food and wages!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, General!"
Chu Zhan clasped his fists and saluted respectfully towards Emperor Dajing.
"Well, go back and rest first."
"And get back to the border as quickly as possible!"
"Tell General Chu that Dajing has no more food for Dakang!"
"If Da Kang wants to fight, then let's fight!"
"I will order people to prepare the logistics and supplies!"
Emperor Dajing said with a firm face!
"The general will obey the order!"
When Chu Zhan heard what Emperor Dajing said, he was shocked!
He didn't expect that the Emperor Dajing, who was timid in the past, would be so tough now!
In this case, their border troops will also have confidence!
Chu Zhan left the palace and returned to the Chu family.
At this time, Chu Xuan was waiting for Chu Zhan at the door!
"Brother! You're really back!"
"They told me you were coming back, but I didn't believe it!"
"I……"
"Um!?"
As Chu Xuan was speaking, Chu Zhan suddenly slapped him!
Fortunately, Chu Xuan was very skilled and he grabbed Chu Zhan’s arm so he avoided being beaten!
But even so, Chu Xuan felt extremely aggrieved!
"Brother, why did you hit me?!"
"Asshole! Are you acting as a bodyguard for someone?!"
"Do you think we don't know?!"
