Chapter 184 Long live my emperor (71)

Xie Huai's idea of ​​Nan Yue taking over Luzhou first coincided with that of Nan Yue.

Today, the Xie family controls three states, the Chaoge royal family controls three states, and although Nanyue has five states, it is unable to mobilize sufficient troops due to the limited terrain.

Although Nan Yue has been trying to find a solution to this problem, it is better to be cautious when dealing with the royal family.

Apart from the remote state occupied by various tribes, there is another state called Luzhou.

Previously, Luzhou Governor Guangjun died of illness and originally handed over Luzhou to his most beloved son Xue Jing.

But Xue Jing actually didn't have much ability. The reason why Luzhou has been preserved until now without being conquered by other forces was due to the efforts of the eldest son Xue Chi, in addition to some of his close confidants.

His reputation as a killing god spread far and wide, and he was also brave and good at fighting, which was how he managed to stabilize Luzhou.

But in fact, smart people know that Xue Chi is only the power of one state. No matter how capable he is, he is just one person and cannot defend a state.

What's more, Xue Chi can be a general, but he cannot be a monarch.

From childhood to adulthood, he was trained by his father like a knife.

As for Xue Jing...

He can't even manage Luzhou, let alone expect him to manage the country.

Sooner or later, a winner will be decided in this world. Their Luzhou is not like those tribes. They can defend themselves on the border by relying on the terrain, or even fight back.

Luzhou cannot remain immune.

Xue Jing not only received friendly messages from Yunzhou in private, but also received a lot of good things from Chaoge.

When had Xue Jing ever been so praised by the imperial court? He immediately became a little arrogant...

After all, when he was young, the imperial court and the royal family still had dignity.

Both Yunzhou and Chaoge sent people to contact him privately, but only Chu Yu from Jiangzhou remained unmoved.

Seeing the current situation, Xue Jing really thought it was his own ability. For some reason, he actually sent troops to attack a city in Jiangzhou...

Although the soldiers finally returned under Xue Chi's order, the battle was just a small one and there were not many casualties.

But the close associates who received the news still found it hard to believe that Xue Jing was so stupid.

Did Yunzhou and Chaoge send people here to seek peace? They wanted them to surrender!
Even though Chang Guangjun did a lot for his son before his death, there was not enough time, Xue Jing had not grown up, and there were still many people in Luzhou who did not submit to him.

An older confidant couldn't help but give Xue Jing a lecture.

Xue Jing sent troops this time just to let Chaoge and Yunzhou know that he would not stand on Chu Yu's side.

Xue Jing felt that he did nothing wrong, so how could he accept other people's preaching?

"Didn't Xue Chi order the troops to withdraw? He didn't hurt the people of Jiangzhou!"

It's just a small fight. Is Chu Yu going to send troops to attack him?

Xue Jing was getting impatient, so he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Then I'll send someone to apologize someday and say that we were training and accidentally made a mistake, isn't that enough?"

After hearing his ridiculous reason, his confidants almost fainted from anger.

Xue Jing thought Chu Yu would not be so petty.

But he didn't know that Nan Yue was determined to take over Luzhou, and now that he came to provoke her, it gave her an excuse.

So she led her troops to attack Luzhou with justification...

Xue Jing started to panic when he got the news, but it was too late.

While he sent Xue Chi to lead the troops, he also wanted to send someone to deliver a message to Chaoge.

But the next moment, he was imprisoned by Xue Chi.

Xue Jing couldn't believe it. In the past, no matter how excessive his orders were, Xue Chi would always do them. Why did he attack him now when the enemy was at the doorstep?

Xue Chi had obviously been scolded by his father so much that he had no intention of resisting...

"Xue Jing, I gave you a chance." Xue Chi said coldly.

Since Xue Jing came to power, he has obeyed his orders countless times.

But Xue Jing didn't give a single order that was for the good of Luzhou and the people!

If this continues, everyone will die at his hands!
Chaoge?

How can Xue Jing, a waste, decide the future of Luzhou?

Even if they were to surrender, it would definitely not be to the Chaoge royal family!

Xue Chi turned around, holding a long knife in his hand, his face was cold, but no longer as lifeless as before.

He no longer paid attention to Xue Jing's angry questions behind him, and didn't even think about explaining it to him. Chu Yu, let's have another fair fight.

If he loses again this time, he will accept it with all his heart.

……

In fact, there is no need for Nan Yue to go to Luzhou personally. After all, she has many capable people under her command, not to mention Tuoba Ling.

But when he had fought with Xue Chi before, he deliberately let him go, and he also knew Xue Chi's character.

Luzhou, she wants it.

Xue Chi also had to come under her command.

Nan Yue had no intention of harming the innocent people and soldiers of Luzhou, and tried to minimize the casualties.

And Xue Chi had the same idea as her.

So in the first battle, Xue Chi personally took on Nan Yue...

Ever since Xue Chi returned from his last defeat, he has been practicing martial arts during the day and studying military tactics by lamplight at night. By now, his martial arts and troop deployment have improved a lot.

He felt that even if he couldn't win now, he could at least draw.

But he was defeated again...

Once again defeated by Nan Yue.

"Brother Xue, you have made progress." The young man retracted the knife in his hand with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xue Chi did not lose the dejection of a loser. He asked in confusion, "You did not send anyone to deliver the message privately, and you led troops to attack Luzhou. You were determined to take Luzhou, so why don't you kill me now?"

He was defeated by Chu Yu twice.

Survived both times.

If Chu Yu wanted Luzhou, why didn't he kill him and lead his troops to attack it?

He knew that Chu Yu had this ability...

Is it possible...

An incredible thought flashed through his mind, and Xue Chi's breathing stagnated.

The young man said in a deep voice: "Do you really think I will be angry because of Xue Jing's provocation? The people of Luzhou are innocent."

After a pause, she continued, "I won't send you a letter to win you over, because I know that Yunzhou and Chaoge have already sent people to contact you privately. It won't make much sense for me to send you a letter, and you may not necessarily submit to me."

Xue Chi's eyes widened, he understood.

Chu Yu wanted to prove it.

Prove that she has the ability to take Luzhou.

It can also convince him.

If we just send troops to attack Luzhou forcefully, even if we don't want to, it will hurt the people and sacrifice many soldiers.

It has to be said that Chu Yu understood his character thoroughly.

He knew that he would not be easily lured into submission by simple displays of goodwill.

Xue Chi is different from Xue Jing, he cares about the people.

Only a man who possesses martial arts, strategy, and virtue is worthy of allowing him to lead Luzhou in submission.

And Chu Yu is this person.

After thinking for a while, Xue Chi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and lowered his head.

"General Xue Chi, I pay my respects to my lord."

……

Most people in Luzhou were still sober and knew to follow Xue Chi's steps.

But there are still some people who have been brainwashed too thoroughly by Chang Guangjun and only want to assist Xue Jing.

These matters were naturally left to Xue Chi to resolve on his own.

If she can't even quell the civil unrest, how can she manage the army in the future?

Xue Chi changed his previous style of only obeying Xue's orders, and unexpectedly dealt with his disobedient confidants in a tough manner.

After all, Xue Jing was his biological brother. He did not take his life, but crippled his left and right arms and had him taken to Yuezhou. With someone watching him, Xue Jing could not cause any trouble.

Nan Yue also sent her own people to manage Luzhou affairs together with Xue Chi’s trusted people.
