This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 763
The more He Chang was listening, the more frightened he became. He who was originally happy because of such a great victory felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

He obviously won the war, but why did he suddenly feel like he had fallen into some kind of trap.

I only heard him take a deep breath, and then asked: "Did the Duke see some clues?"

Chen Ling nodded, looked up at him, and said calmly, "The new emperor of Southern Chu, Mu Xiqiu, has played a big game of chess, and I, I guess, have become a pawn in his hand."

"What you said is becoming more and more incomprehensible."

Chen Ling looked at him and asked, "Do you think Mu Xiqiu could capture Chuanzhou City with the [-] troops in his hands?"

He Changzai shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, we are guarding such a fortified city, how can it be possible to break through the city with his little force?"

"Is it possible that he can't understand things that anyone can understand? Why did he bring troops here when he knew that Chuanzhou City could not be captured?"

"This"

"Look at the current situation!"

After thinking carefully for a long time, He Chang suddenly turned pale with shock: "He also knew that he could not defeat Chuanzhou City, so he deliberately pulled Prince Jing into Minchuan? Then the advantage in Prince Jing's hands disappeared, Not only that, but Prince Jing put himself in danger because he only brought three thousand soldiers with him?"

"It should be like this." Chen Ling nodded and said, "In fact, his original goal was not Chuanzhou City at all."

"You mean that his goal was Prince Jing Wen Ruyan from the beginning? But how can he be sure that Prince Jing will follow him into Minchuan?"

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it, maybe he planned to withdraw his troops, because it was the best choice for them to withdraw their troops and return to Southern Chu, but before withdrawing their troops, they deliberately set up a ecstasy formation for Prince Jing. , If he followed into Minchuan, then he would just kill him, if he didn't follow, Mu Xiqiu could lead his troops around Minchuan before leaving, and they wouldn't lose anything!"

He Changzai exclaimed: "Just because you set up a ecstasy formation for King Jing, you deliberately lost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers? The price is too high, why don't I believe it?"

Chen Ling said: "Think about the Battle of Bajiaopo and the Battle of Nanzhou. 12 Chu troops were wiped out in Wen Ruyan's hands. How can Mu Xiqiu not be afraid of such people? If Chuanzhong kills Wen Ruyan, the lost tens of thousands of soldiers' lives will be worth it! In the future, if he makes a comeback, who else in Dazhou can stop him?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ling sighed again, and continued: "Only in this way can we explain why he attacked the city inexplicably in the first place, and why he stationed the army in Tangshan Valley inexplicably. I thought he was out of his wits, but now that I think about it, how could it be possible for a wine bag and rice bag to stand out among the many princes of Nanchu and become a great treasure? How could it shock all the courtiers of Nanchu in such a short period of time?"

At this moment, He Changzai's head seemed to be knocked out by a boulder, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

There is such a cruel and ruthless king in this world?

"Then what do you mean he treated you as a pawn?"

Chen Ling smiled wryly: "Presumably he has already learned about the conflict between me and Wen Ruyan, and he has already confirmed that I will not lead the army into Minchuan for rescue."

He Changzai gasped suddenly, and said in shock, "This Mu Xiqiu really has such a skill?"

"All of this is just my guess, but I feel that it is close to ten. If he really calculated all of this, since he dared to bring [-] soldiers into Minchuan, it means that he is absolutely sure. I have dealt with Wen Ruyan, that's why I said, Wen Ruyan will definitely not be able to win."

After saying this, Chen Ling also fell into silence. Ever since he discovered the strangeness of the defeated army, he has been thinking about the clues. He is not an ordinary person. Is it in exchange for life?If he hadn't made any achievements at the beginning and knew nothing about military affairs, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have been able to forcibly confer such a title on him.

Such an experienced general, who has been in the power center of the Great Zhou for so many years, how can he fail to understand the key point?
The reason why Wen Ruyan can't figure it out is not because he is inferior to Chen Ling, but because the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. In addition, Wen Ruyan doesn't know that the Southern Chu army deliberately retreated. It is normal to not understand this. , He is a man and not a god.

He Chang didn't know what to say at this time. After a long silence, he finally said: "In that case, King Jing, shall we save or not!"

Chen Ling didn't answer his question. In fact, he was also thinking about it. To be honest, if what he guessed is true, then Mu Xiqiu is simply too scary. One step counts as ten steps, Chen Ling asked himself He couldn't do this, if he and Mu Xiqiu were to open up a fight, Chen Ling felt that it was impossible for him to defeat his opponent.

And besides Wen Ruyan, Chen Ling never thought of anyone else in this world who was qualified to be equal to Mu Xiqiu.

If Wen Ruyan is not rescued, if Mu Xiqiu makes a comeback in the future, who in Dazhou can stop him?

But if Wen Ruyan is saved, after the crisis is cleared this time, will Wen Ruyan take charge of the three armies, will he covet the dragon chair in his heart?He has the military power in his hands, and his status is so respected, he can just think of a reason that can convince the world, and he can directly send his troops north to point at Yanjing, how can he stop it today?How many people in this world can resist the temptation of power?
Even if he suppressed this temptation, would he let himself go?
Chen Ling thought about it carefully for a long time. He really couldn't think of any reason why Wen Ruyan would let him go after the war. Even though his prostitute daughter is the current empress, with Wen Ruyan's methods, it was effortless. Then he and his sons could be killed quietly without leaving any traces.

At that time, the Xiongnu besieged Yanjing City, Wen Ruyan's figure like a Kunpeng still echoed in Chen Ling's mind at this moment.

After a long time, Chen Ling said directly and firmly: "No help!"

He Changzai looked at him seriously and said, "Are you sure?"

What Chen Ling thought of He Changzai naturally also thought of it, but now that Chen Ling has made up his mind, he will not try to persuade him anymore.

"confirmed!"

"Since this is the case, then we have to find a way to stabilize Xie Shan and Ye Linxue. After all, the seven thousand black cavalry soldiers only recognize Xie Shan."

"I want to send a letter to the empress, and I'll see if she can help me!"

The capital of Southern Chu.

Flowing Cloud City.

On this day, a tall and pretty woman in her twenties brought a boy to the Nanchu Palace, but when she was just a foot away from the palace gate, she was stopped by two guards.

"Idlers are not allowed to come near the imperial palace, and those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!" a guard shouted loudly.

A trace of frost appeared on Ning Wan'er's face at that moment, she frowned slightly, stepped forward and said, "Presumptuous!"

The faces of the two guards suddenly darkened, and then they drew out the long swords around their waists, pointed at Ning Wan'er and shouted, "Get out!"

Ning Wan'er kicked the man in the chest, and the man took several steps back and fell to the ground.

"Someone broke into the palace!"

Hundreds of guards rushed out from inside at that time, and they only took one look before killing Ning Wan'er.

city ​​wall.

A young general frowned when he heard the noise, and asked, "What happened?"

"Go back to the general, someone below broke into the palace."

"Who is so courageous?"

Standing on the city wall, the young general glanced down casually. With just one glance, his legs shivered and he sat down on the ground.

"(a plant)!"
