Chapter 172 King Jing's Decision

Jingcheng King's Mansion

At this time, more than [-] people gathered in the main hall of King Jing's mansion. King Jing Gao sat in the main seat of the main hall, and his subordinates and staff sat below.

What they were discussing at this time was the matter of Nanyi's invasion of Dayu Kingdom.

This incident was planned behind the scenes by King Jiangcheng, with the purpose of forcing King Jing to take action.

King Jing had already heard about what happened on the Nanyi border, but he couldn't stop it.

Not only was there no way to stop it, but King Jing was still very passive.

If King Jing didn't take advantage of this opportunity to act, it would be even more difficult for him to do things after Dayu Kingdom cleaned up Nanyi.

Those present are also expressing their opinions.

Staff A:

"My lord, Nanyi has only 15 soldiers in total, and even with the support of King Jiangcheng, it is impossible to defeat Dayu Kingdom.

If we don't unite with Nanyi, Nanyi may soon be defeated. "

Staff B:

"If we want to compete with Yudu with our current strength, we have little chance of winning. Only by uniting with Nanyi, Nanjiang, and Nantuo can we have a chance of winning."

Staff C:

"If it wasn't for the King Jiangcheng's persecution this time, Nanyi would never have sent troops to attack the Dayu Kingdom. If you miss this opportunity, there may not be a next time."

"..."

More than a dozen people agreed with King Jing's action now.

King Jing did not speak, but looked at the person sitting in the first seat below.

This person is Yan Han, the master of Yan Qingnan, governor of Zinan, and the person Yan Qingnan trusts the most.

After Yan Qingnan learned that Nanyi had attacked Dayu, he sent Yan Han to discuss with King Jing.

There were different opinions just now, but Yan Han didn't say a word.

"What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Seeing that King Jing took the initiative to ask about himself, Yan Han opened his mouth.

"I don't have any opinions on this old man. Our master said that everything is subject to the order of the prince."

This is a statement.

It means that no matter whether King Jing takes action now, Yan Qingnan will listen to King Jing.

To say that Yan Qingnan was indeed not as anxious as the others present here.

He himself is the governor of Zinan, even if King Jing does not rebel, he is still a member of the party with great power.

King Jing then asked Yan Han: "Does Mr. Yan think this is a good opportunity?"

Yan Han nodded, "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

King Jing already had a decision in his heart, he asked Yan Han just to hear Yan Qingnan's attitude.

As everyone said:
Although there are still some things that have not been fully prepared, if this opportunity is missed, it will be even more difficult to think about it in the future.

If according to King Jing's previous planning, he planned to start the incident a year or two later, and he would be more confident at that time.It's just that Ning Youbei and Qu Chu ruined his plan.

King Jing looked around at everyone present, and then corrected his expression:

"Since everyone thinks now is an opportunity, let's act!"

Nanyi Border
General Fan is in a state of desperation right now.

Since the Nanyi people occupied the front line where they were at Wudang, they have successively pressed in tens of thousands of troops, and they have no intention of stopping yet.

Nanyi has a total of 15 troops. If all of them are pushed in, General Fan will not be able to defend at all.

Originally, Zizhou, Nanshu, and Nanyue all had garrisons. If they supported them, General Fan would not be afraid of a Nanyi.

But this is not the case now.

General Fan received a secret letter from Qu Chu before.

Qu Chu said that she guessed that the group of black-clothed masked men who wiped out the Nanyi royal family was the power of a certain vassal, and asked him to pay more attention to the movements of Nanyi, Zizhou, Nanshu, and Nanyue.

Although Qu Chu didn't say who the feudal lord was, General Fan was not stupid, so he could vaguely guess something.

Moreover, why did the vassal king interfere with the Nanyi royal family?Naturally, it is to control Nanyi.

What is the purpose of controlling Nanyi?
The ultimate goal is probably for the supreme position of Dayu Kingdom.

Therefore, after receiving Qu Chu's secret letter, General Fan raised his vigilance against Nanyi to prevent them from invading Dayu Kingdom.

However, I didn't expect Nanyi to be so eager to attack Dayu Kingdom just over a month after their civil strife broke out.

Or to be more precise: it was a certain vassal who couldn't wait!

Under such circumstances, not to mention getting support from the garrisons of Zizhou, Nanshu, and Nanyue, it would be good not to be surrounded and beaten by them.

General Fan decided to ask the court for support.

……

Yudu Palace
Walking on the hard and dense gold bricks, with clanging footsteps, Qu Chu walked towards the imperial study step by step.

This was the first time Qu Chu entered the palace on his own initiative.

The emperor gave Qu Chu a waist card long ago, allowing her to enter and leave the palace at any time.But in order to avoid suspicion, Qu Chu never took the initiative to enter the palace unless the emperor wanted to recruit him.

This time is different.

This time Qu Chu came to challenge the emperor.

After receiving the news of Nanyi's invasion and Wu Dang's death, Qu Chu was not completely indulging in the pain of Wu Dang's death. She was more concerned with analyzing and thinking about the entire Nanyi war situation.

After thinking about the current environment of the Nanyi Frontier Army, Qu Chu knew that General Fan couldn't hold on.

The Nanyi frontier army has only 10 people, while the Nanyi army has 15 people, plus the tens of thousands of private troops of King Jing, and the garrisons of Zizhou and Nanshu. Less than one against two.

Qu Chu thought:
If she were the king of Jing, she would quickly digest the Nanyi frontier army first, and if she could accept it, she would accept it, and if she could not accept it, she would be wiped out.

After digesting the Nanyi frontier army, the whole south is under King Jing's control.

Then occupy the south, and then slowly toss with the court.

After thinking about this, Qu Chu knew:
The best way for the imperial court is to unite with the Nanyi Frontier Army before the Nanyi Frontier Army is wiped out, encircle and destroy King Jing's forces.

Therefore, although he did not receive a letter from General Fan for help, Qu Chu decided to act in advance.

……

Before Qu Chu came, she asked Ning Youbei to bring a message to the emperor, so when she arrived at the imperial study room, the servant guarding the door of the imperial study room directly let Qu Chu in.

After entering the imperial study, Qu Chu saw the map of Dayu hanging on the wall at a glance.

She had a bottom line in her heart, and the emperor was also worried about the situation in Nanyi.

"His Majesty".

"Here you are, sit down. I just told You Bei to fetch something for me, and he will come right away."

Qu Chu was also a little curious: What things do Ning Youbei need to pick up in person?
However, this is not the time to talk about other things, Qu Chu directly stated the purpose of his visit this time.

"Your Majesty, I have come to invite you to fight."

The emperor also had guesses about Qu Chulai's purpose, so he was not surprised after hearing this.

"Tell me about your analysis of the current battle situation."

Qu Chu walked to the map of Dayu and pointed to the position of the Nanyi frontier army.

"If you want the Nanyi frontier army to get out of trouble, you can divide them into three groups.

The army along the way started from Yudu and pressed southward. "

When it came to "pressing to the south", Qu Chu pointed his finger at the location of Jingcheng intentionally or unintentionally.

"The other route starts from Ganzhou, passes through Zizhou and Nanshu, and supports the Nanyi frontier army.

And the last way..."
