N-A-A Chapter 307
Chapter 307
Ye Kang, the second person in the Zhennan Palace, finally met Long Tian after traveling all the way.
Ye Kang stepped into the room and found that there were only two people in it. Although they had never met, Ye Kang was not unfamiliar with the people in front of him, but was very familiar with them.
This is because Ye Kang is not an ordinary person.
"I am Shadow No. 2, and I pay my respects to the prince."
Ye Kang knelt down and stated his identity.
Wow, the second person in the Zhennan Palace, a very important figure in the south, is Shadow No. 2, and his position in the shadow is second only to the first Taibao Lu Qing.
Although No. 2 is not in the court, the power center of Xia State, his position is also extremely important, and his role is no less than Lu Qing.
"Get up, you have worked hard on this trip."
Long Tian naturally knows the identities of all the shadows, especially those at the top.
Since they are all family members, things will be easy.
"Can the King of Zhennan hold on? Do you have any other plans, especially those targeting our northern border?" Long Tian asked. The exchange of intelligence between the shadows has never stopped, but after all, they are in important positions and cannot act recklessly. Since they have met, Long Tian naturally wants to understand the situation in the south. "Your Majesty, it seems that the King of Zhennan has devoted all his energy to Jingguo. I have been paying attention to it and have not found that the King of Zhennan has any other arrangements for the northern border."
"Although Murong Batian and his son have a fanatical pursuit of power, they can still restrain their desires in the face of major issues, especially Jingguo. The hatred between them and the Zhennan Palace is deep-rooted. Even Murong Batian's princess, Murong Zijin's biological mother, died at the hands of Jingguo people. The hatred between the two cannot be resolved."
"In order to avenge and to protect the south, Murong Batian has the courage and determination to fight to the death. At this juncture, even if Murong Batian gives up the fight for hegemony over Xiaguo, he will not leave Jingguo alone."
Murong Batian is still able to be clear in the face of national justice, which is also what Long Tian appreciates.
Even if Long Tian solved the various princes, he did not take the initiative to target the south. One reason is the strength of the south, and the second reason is naturally because of the character of Murong Batian and his son.
Long Tian is willing to give people like the King of Zhennan a chance.
This invasion of Jingguo is actually an opportunity for Long Tian to choose for the South, and it is also a test. The performance of the Zhennan Palace will determine Long Tian's attitude towards the South.
"Go back and tell the King of Zhennan that I will borrow Shunzhou to attack Jingguo and temporarily control the main road. I have no choice. After I destroy Jingguo, I will naturally return Shunzhou to him."
"Please do your best to contain the invading forces of Jingguo, King Zhennan, and don't affect my battle plan. As for how to solve the problem in the South, we will talk about it after we get rid of Jingguo."
Long Tian is really ambitious.
It is not difficult to see from Long Tian's words that Long Tian will fight back against Jingguo.
"Your Majesty, do you need my cooperation?"
"Although the power of the Zhennan Palace is far less than that of the North, it is deeply rooted in the South. It is convenient to do some things in the name of the Zhennan Palace."
"This is my token. With him, the army under your command will move more smoothly. Over the years, I have also controlled a certain amount of power in the South. Now it is time to make a contribution."
Now there are not many disputes left in Xia Country, and the people in the shadows are also eager to make meritorious deeds. After all, there are not many opportunities.
"Cao Zhengchun will arrange this matter. After returning, don't reveal your identity for the time being. Your position will play an important role in the future."
"Watch the actions of the Zhennan Prince and his son. Report at any time. As long as these two do not turn to Jingguo, the king will not kill them all. You have an idea in your mind, so it will be easier to arrange in the future."
The Zhennan Prince and his son are capable, have a family and country, and have no deep hatred with Long Tian. Long Tian can't afford it, and he doesn't want to wipe out the roots when the situation is controllable.
Unless these two people are ignorant and have surrendered to the enemy, or do other things that Long Tian cannot accept, then Long Tian cannot be blamed.
Giving Ye Kang a heads-up in advance is not only conducive to Ye Kang's lurking, but also allows Ye Kang to be mentally prepared for how to face the King of Zhennan.
Ye Kang left. For Ye Kang, this trip was more formal than practical. He was originally a member of the Shadow of the Northern Territory and kept in touch with the Northern Territory at all times. There was no need to take this trip. It was just for Murong Batian to see.
As for how the King of Zhennan would act after Ye Kang returned, Long Tian did not care. At this moment, everything in Xia State was based on strength, and other people no longer had much say.
Long Tian calculated the situation in Xia State and also had to prepare for entering Jing State.
Han Xin had already completely occupied the Southern Court of Liang State. With the cooperation of Yuan Chonghuan, Wei Qing, Yuwen Chengdu, and Wu Qi, the main force of the Liang State court could not even take the Southern Court if they wanted to recapture the Southern Court.The court cannot do it in a short time.
Especially in recent times, Huo Qubing galloped across the grassland and gathered a million cavalry here. This force is temporarily dormant, waiting for an opportunity to move, and is not in a hurry to enter Liang State.
This is Long Tian's confidence. With the support of the barbarian cavalry, Long Tian does not need to use too many Zhenbei troops to stop Liang State. This is the most favorable situation for Long Tian.
The Liang State envoys died in the northern border. Liang State has learned the news, and the court and the public are shocked. They all clamored to attack the northern border, but at this stage, they are still clamoring, and the Liang State court has not taken any actual action.
But the war will definitely not be too far away. At least before the winter of this year, there will be a war between the two countries.
In the direction of Jin State, Li Jing and Su Jingshan have led their troops to approach Jin Huaicheng, and defeated the 500,000 Jin soldiers who previously supported Jin Huaicheng, forming a trend of echoing with Xiang Yu.
In the absence of further action by the Jin Kingdom, Li Jing temporarily chose to keep his troops in place. He was very clear about Long Tian's plan. If the war on the Jin Kingdom side could be delayed, Li Jing would still be willing to do so.
Therefore, with Li Jing and Xiang Yu on the border of the Jin Kingdom, it was impossible for the Jin Kingdom to launch a surprise attack, and there was no need for the two of them in a conventional war, and the advantages of the Zhenbei Army could be fully utilized.
On the other side of Xiguan City, Xue Rengui had successfully taken over the defense. During the whole process, Xichu did not make any other moves, as if the change in Xiguan City had nothing to do with them.
But facing the powerful Xichu, Xue Rengui did not dare to take it lightly. He gathered the elites of Linzhou and Dangzhou to form a border defense corps, ready to deal with the Chu Kingdom at any time.
In addition to these places, the only Zhongzhou where the capital of Xia Kingdom is located is still under the control of the prince, but it is not important to Long Tian for the time being. If he wants, he can besiege it with a large army at any time. This is the last base of the Xiao family in Xia Kingdom, which is also deliberately left by Long Tian.
In this way, everything is good and a counterattack can be launched.
