Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 622 The Flower Hall Proceedings 3.0

Seeing Wanyanxi who was trembling with excitement, everyone in the room fell silent, especially Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, who knew all the inside information, even lowered their heads and remained silent. They really didn't know how to tell Wanyanxi, he was very upset. The trusting elder brother Yuwen was the beginning of the biggest disaster in the Kingdom of Jin. If Wanyan and Wen hadn't resolutely resisted Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanping's disaster relief, the situation in the Kingdom of Jin would not be as bad as it is now.

"Grandpa... Great General... Your Highness..." Wan Yanxi looked over one by one, and saw that they all bowed their heads in silence, and a very bad feeling lingered in their hearts, "You...you don't Would you think... Brother Yu Wen... He really did such a thing? Impossible, he always told me that the people are the first in everything, I didn't understand this sentence before, and I laughed at him. He... …He didn’t bother me, he just said I’d figure it out when I grew up. I get it now, but you’re saying he didn’t.”

"Mr. Wanyan..." Shen Cha and Shen Haolin exchanged glances, and decided to be the villain himself and tell Wanyanxi the truth. "Since you said that you have grown up and understood the truth, then I will tell you that the disaster relief incident was also the trigger for the assassination of Lords Wanyan and Wen."

"General?" Wan Yanxi raised his lowered head suddenly, staring at Shen Cha, "What...what does this mean?"

"When the disaster just happened, one of Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping stayed in Yiqing Mansion to call on the clan, nobles, and nobles to help the disaster, and the other led his own soldiers to the most severely affected prefectures and counties. The clansmen, nobles, and nobles in the head are still stubborn and firmly do not support the disaster relief. What they said is too chilling, so I will not repeat it." Seeing that Wan Yanxi was already in tears, Shen Cha lightly Sighing lightly, he took a piece of handkerchief that he had never used and threw it to him, "What happened in Wuma Town happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to see Wanyan and Master Wen, so I couldn't talk to him, and There is no way to explore the meaning behind what he did. However, now it seems that his purpose is very clear."

"Yes... what is it?"

"I will remove all obstacles for you to regain the throne." Shen Cha sighed heavily, "Don't blame him, and don't have any bad feelings for him. It's understandable for him to act like this. Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Zongcheng Yan Ping's prestige among the people was not very good in the first place, whether they provide disaster relief or not, they could not save their reputation at all. At that time, there were rumors that the money they used for disaster relief was plundered from the common people. If it wasn't for their exploitation before, even with such a heavy rain, the common people would not have fallen into this situation."

"Is this statement...is...true...?" Wan Yanxi cried so hard, "People...do the people really... think so?"

"That's true." Song Qiyun also sighed, "There are merchants in Jiaping Pass who have escaped these catastrophes by chance, but their clansmen and family members are in the Kingdom of Jin, and they have also suffered from various degrees of punishment. Although the disaster is not that serious, there are indeed such rumors. And..." He glanced at Wanyan Xi who was gradually calming down, "The common people don't have any resentment towards Wanyan and Master Wen not participating in disaster relief. , because of the increase in taxes, the clan and nobles’ properties have also been greatly affected, even if they have the heart to relieve disasters, they don’t have the strength to do so.”

"So..." Wan Yanxi couldn't believe that this was the way it was going, "So, the common people didn't blame Brother Wen and them at all, but supported them?"

"Don't talk about support, I just understand what they are doing. The lives of clansmen and nobles are not easy!" Song Qiyun spread his hands, "Later, the news of the death of Wanyan and Master Wen was sent back to the Kingdom of Jin, and to Yiqing. In the mansion, the people were also talking about it, but they all agreed that Wanyanping got rid of Wanyan and Lord Wen. At that time, in the Kingdom of Jin, there were a lot of criticisms from Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanping, and the people did not support them. .”

"She probably never thought that she would end up like this." Wan Yanxi sighed, "I'm always smart and confused for a while."

"To be serious, we can't deal with her according to common sense because Wan Yanping has too many schemes." Shen Cha stood up, dragged Song Qiyun to a corner, and brought a sand table that had never been used before. "Red represents us, blue represents Liao soldiers, and green represents Jin soldiers." She inserted small chess pieces representing the colors of Xia, Liao, and Jin on the sand table. "Jiaping Pass City needs to face the two frontiers of the Jin Kingdom, and the three borders of the Liao Kingdom. This time, the troops will still be dominated by the Liao people. This is what we have discussed before." She looked at Wan Yanxi, "Young masters Yelulan and Yelunan should have told you, right?"

"Yes, they did."

"These two young masters, together with Mr. Qi Zhifeng and Mr. Xiao Fengqi, may join you in attacking one of the three pass cities of the Kingdom of Jin. The specific route you need to follow depends on your own decision. It's not something we should interfere with. As for us..."

"Wait a minute, General." Wan Yanxi interrupted Shen Cha, "I can understand Mr. Qi, but Mr. Xiao... how could... go together with them?"

"Well...it's their own arrangement, so it's inconvenient for us to ask." Shen Cha smiled at Wan Yanxi, and continued the previous topic, "As soon as the war comes together, the Liao soldiers will start attacking the border of the Kingdom of Jin. Yan Ping will receive the news. The first thing she will do is to strengthen the security of the two border gates that are opposite to Jiaping Pass City, so as to prevent Da Xia from taking advantage of the gap, but what we have to do is to stand still."

"Stay still?" Wan Yanxi frowned, "Then the pressure on our side will be great, and the additional troops sent by Wanyan Ping will all be on our side."

"That's what I want." Shen Cha smiled faintly, "Master Wanyan knows the strength of the Liao soldiers, otherwise he wouldn't ask the Liao people for help, right? You have to trust them, they have that ability Withstood the tremendous pressure exerted by Wan Yanping."

"Do they know what they're dealing with?"

"Of course, they are very willing to attract this attention." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "Besides, we don't do nothing. The role of the Liao soldiers is to hold back Wanyan Ping's main force. It will be long, but it will not be too short, it depends on when the guards of the two pass cities facing Jiaping Pass can be relaxed, and when they can be relaxed."

"Wait until they really relax and take it all at once?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Wanyanxi heaved a sigh of relief, "But... there is a problem, it's too much to take it down, but we still have to go in the direction of Yiqing Mansion , Then... then... what should I do next?"

"What we are talking about now is just a plan. What we plan to do is completely different from what we will actually do." Song Qiyun held his teacup and looked at Wan Yanxi and explained, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You need to change the plan at any time according to what happens. And, I believe, if there is a real fight, some people will change their positions."

"Some people? What do you mean?"

"Those who neither support you nor Wanyanping." Shen Cha tapped the sand table twice, "that is, those nobles who have trapped Wanyanping in Yiqing Mansion, they are not clan relatives, But what they want is to compete with you and Wanyanping for the throne of the Kingdom of Jin. When the Liao soldiers attack the city, they may choose to form an alliance with the Liao people, or they may choose to join forces with Wanyanping."

"Your Highness is right. The biggest change this time is this group of people. If they choose to support Young Master Wanyan, we can cooperate internally and externally to take down Wanyanping in one fell swoop. But on the contrary, if they want to cooperate with Wanyanping..." Shen Cha spread her hands, "We will fight harder, but we don't rule out the possibility of their own internal strife." She looked at the hourglass aside, "It's getting late, let's stop here today!"

Bai Meng, who hadn't spoken much all this time, nodded, stood up, took Wan Yanxi's cloak and threw it to him, "It's really getting late, it's time to go back."

After hearing Bai Meng's words, Wan Yanxi also stood up, saluted Song Jue respectfully, and bowed solemnly to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Song Qiyun before putting on the cloak and pocket Mao and Bai Meng left.
