Chapter 1203 Zhang Yi’s frankness
"I only ask His Highness the Crown Prince to tell you the truth."
Jiang Luo lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Exactly."
"The person you lent it to is Sima Jing of the Jin Kingdom?"
Jiang Luo was surprised: "How did the Prime Minister know?"
Zhang Yi was still smiling: "Your Majesty, if you trust me, Zhang Yi, all you need to do is tell me honestly."
Jiang Luo nodded cautiously: "Yes, Sima Jing borrowed troops, and I agreed to it. However, because our Xia country is at war, it is inconvenient to interfere in the affairs of other countries, so..."
"Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Huang Dao to collect the remaining 50,000 people and secretly lend them to Sima Jing."
Jiang Luo became a little cautious: "Is there something wrong...?"
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, "It's not appropriate, but it's also appropriate."
Jiang Luo was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yi said: "It's inappropriate to say that His Royal Highness has completely cut off our possibility of actually sending troops."
"Send troops?" Jiang Luo was shocked: "Why didn't I hear about it?"
Zhang Yi waved her hand: "This matter is the king's wish. At present, only the king and the truth know about it."
Jiang Luo hurriedly asked: "Why are we sending troops and where are we sending them?"
Zhang Yi sighed slowly: "It's too late to say this. Ever since Najiang Fisherman came outside Anyi City, we have been watched by him and there is no possibility of sending troops."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Luo's eyes kept flashing and his mind was spinning rapidly.
"...Luo, have you delayed your father's important events?"
Zhang Yi shook her head slightly, "It's a mistake, but you also helped the king. That's why it's appropriate."
Seeing his confusion, Zhang Yi said: "Jiang Xiaoyao led a hundred thousand troops on a patrol. Everyone thought he was going to pacify the fiefdom. Little did they know, he had another plan. Even I didn't expect it. He attacked the city with great fanfare, but then turned around and fired.
, came straight to Anyi, as if a nail had been hammered into us. It turned out that this person had seen through the king's plan, and a hundred thousand troops were prepared for this matter. The old man and the king were also surprised, and secretly rejoiced that they had not sent out troops yet.
, had you not borrowed unrelated soldiers in advance, there would have been no possibility for us to intervene in this matter."
Jiang Luo was extremely shocked, and finally his expression became extremely solemn.
"I lent troops to Sima Jing in order to allow him to take advantage of the chaos to seize power and re-establish diplomatic relations with our country of Xia... But I couldn't bear to accept Xiang Chen, so I didn't dare to involve my country in Daxia. It happened that Huang Sanqi's son cried and asked me to be his father.
I decided to take revenge and kill Jiang Fan, and I promised to help him, so I gathered 50,000 Huanglong gang members to form a private army and lent them to him."
Zhang Yi nodded: "The intention is right, and the word "taking advantage of the chaos" is also used very well. It seems that the prince has also discovered the clues."
Jiang Luo's fingers trembled a little: "Is it really true?"
Zhang Yi said calmly: "Then Jiang Yulang once said that there are no eternal enemies in the world. Does the prince think that only Wei and Jin can negotiate peace?"
Jiang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "But by the Wujiang River..."
"The Battle of Wujiang was real at first, and it has been fought, but it has been fought back and forth with no results, and we can't afford it. At this time, Poppy secretly proposed peace talks, and its purpose..."
"Turn the spear around and attack Jin!" Jiang Luo took a breath of cold air and said in shock.
"The prince is smart." Zhang Yi did not hide it.
"But, Jin is our ally..."
"It used to be." Zhang Yi corrected: "In the beginning, the Jin-Xia coalition attacked Wei, but the Jin state finally negotiated peace and broke the alliance, resulting in our Xia state fighting alone against Chu and Wei. With such behavior, how can we talk about allies?"
Jiang Luo's knuckles turned white, and he suppressed his voice and said: "So, we want to... carve up the Jin Kingdom?"
Zhang Yi smiled softly: "The Jin country is rich...civilians are in charge, but the generals are incompetent..."
Jiang Luo fell down on the chair and said nothing for a long time.
After a long time, he finally breathed out: "Dare I ask the Prime Minister, is this the Prime Minister's plan?"
Zhang Yi did not hide it: "From the moment the prince's marriage was planned, he was paralyzing the Jin State. As for the actual cooperation between the prime minister and the Chu State, the prince should know that it started in Jing'an."
Of course Jiang Luo knew about this. At that time, he thought that Zhang Yi had plotted against himself and Zhou Anshi, and he was very angry. Today, Zhang Yi said this in person, which was completely beyond his expectation.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that the king doesn't want to involve you in. Why don't you tell me? It's to protect you. After all, you are the heir of my Xia Kingdom. There is no room for failure. It is best for the king and me to take care of everything.
It’s best if you bear with it…”
Jiang Luo was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yi to say this.
"Zhou Anshi is on good terms with the Jin State because he opposes the attack on Jin. He must be captured, otherwise great things will not happen. Prince, there is no need to talk about your relationship with Marshal Zhou. Remember, what you want is not Zhou Anshi, but Daxia. You are
The crown prince of Great Xia really shouldn’t be involved in internal political disputes. The king knows what the truth is, so why not stop it? He knows the stakes. The truth and the king are not plotting for the rest of their lives, and you are the next king, so let go
Open your eyes."
Jiang Luo was ashamed. For so long, he had been deliberately wary of Zhang Yi, but he didn't want Zhang Yi to be so open and honest. This couldn't be a lie, because his father could definitely testify, and saying it today would mean that his father was shortsighted about him.
Already very dissatisfied...
But it happened that he did something again this time, and only he knew that he had very selfish motives. But the consequences were obviously very bad, and his actions triggered King Xiaoyao's plan.
Zhang Yi's visit here is obviously his father's intention, to remind himself to think about the overall situation, and to have an overall view of everything.
Breaking into a cold sweat, he was a little confused: "May I ask Prime Minister Zhang if he has made a big mistake?"
Zhang Yi shook his head: "What a coincidence, your move directly led to Jiang Yulang's deployment of a hundred thousand troops to patrol, which made us unexpectedly see the Qin State's thoughts. The Emperor of Qin did not want our Xia State to grow. That's why he deployed a hundred thousand troops.
This is to convey the message that if we move, Qin will not be polite."
Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although he had made a mistake, it was not all bad. He said hurriedly: "We can't move Qin, so she wants to target her like this?"
Zhang Yi sighed: "She... wants time."
"Time?" Jiang Luo was startled.
"It wants time from the Four Kingdoms, time for Qin to recover. And we are also grabbing this time to develop and grow. Therefore, she wants to maintain the relative balance of the Four Kingdoms and cannot tolerate the emergence of a powerful country that can compete with Qin. In this kind of local situation,
Only in the chaotic relative balance can Qin gain the greatest space and benefits."
Jiang Luo's heart trembled: "What a Ying Wushuang!"
Zhang Yi sighed: "Zhang thought he was scheming in all directions, but it was only during the Jing'an incident that he understood the minds of the man and woman. Unfortunately, under the current situation, he knew his intentions, but was unable to reverse them for the time being. He could only seek to
The way to become stronger as quickly as possible.”
"So...you and your father planned the Jing'an incident, with the goal of making the Xia Kingdom a monolith as soon as possible to defend against foreign enemies?"
