After the immortal disappeared

Chapter 80 The choice of annual tribute

He Lingchuan wondered: "What does this have to do with Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu? Why did they come to seize the Dafang Pot?"

"Sun Fuping and Da Sima conspired together to rebel, and afterwards the king personally removed him from the post of national advisor, so he never had to leave the Sheji Order in Panlong Desert from beginning to end." He Chunhua continued, "As for Xunzhou Mu, he originally belonged to Da Sima. The Sima faction has a deep friendship in private, but they have still stayed put and have not openly rebelled. In my speculation, if Nian Songyu can retrieve the Dafang Pot for him, this will be a great bargaining chip, and it will be easy for him to choose which side he wants to side with. "

Sun Fuping, such a shrewd person, was on the wrong side this time, and the price was death in Panlong City.

When it comes to the struggle for power, you really can’t make a single mistake.

He Yue said in a clear voice: "The majestic main battlefield is in the north and central part. Blackwater City and Panlong Desert are just small waves caught in it."

He Chunhua and his eldest son looked at each other.

Their thrilling and dangerous adventure seems to be nothing in the eyes of those in power who are planning the overall situation.

He Lingchuan searched in his mind for a moment and then gave up. The original person usually only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and has no idea about the major events in the country. He has almost no impression of these influential figures mentioned by his second brother.

Mrs. Ying had been listening, and then she said: "So, there is nothing gained from the trip to Panlong City? It did cost a lot of lives."

She rarely interfered with men discussing national affairs, but the He family father and son escaped death and took 200 people out, but only a few dozen came back.

They came back empty-handed, and the dead had to be compensated. Isn’t this adventure worth it for your husband?

He Chunhua laughed loudly after hearing this: "Madam, this is not how the accounts are settled!"

"Although we didn't get the big square pot, we killed Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping. This is the biggest gain of this trip!" He grabbed a full glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. "Sun Fuping is one of the first criminals in this rebellion. Wang He is a serious enemy of the imperial court. By killing him, I can relieve the king's worries and boost the morale of the army, which will be a great achievement."

He Yue also said: "Sun Fuping has been a national counselor for many years and knows countless secrets. He is deeply scheming and powerful. He went to Panlong City to seize the big square pot. Whether he wanted to help the great commander or defected to others, he was deeply feared by the royal court. By helping Dayuan get rid of future troubles, we are actually participating in the war against the rebellion, and we may be rewarded for our merits afterwards. "

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Killing Sun Fuping is to relieve the country's worries, and killing Nian Songyu is to eliminate the troubles of the second brother. If we die in the desert, he will come back to find you."

Mrs. Ying was curious: "What does he want to do with Yue'er?"

He Yue's face turned pale and he was displeased: "Don't listen to big brother's nonsense. But Xunzhou Mu didn't get the big square pot, and even got a son. I don't know what will happen next."

He Chunhua sneered: "I have been thinking about how to explain the death of Sun Nian and Sun Nian to Wang Ting on the way. It turns out that I was just worried. Tomorrow I will deliver the news about Xunzhou Mu and Sun Fuping's conspiracy to Dafang Hu to Wang Ting. From now on, he will also You don’t have time to trouble me anymore.”

He Lingchuan thought of his father's sad face when he was marching in the desert for more than ten days in the past. Looking at his happy face now, with a hint of anger between his eyebrows, he also knew that he had finally let go of the regret of missing the generous pot.

He Chunhua asked He Yue: "Let me test you. If the news of the death of Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping reaches Xunzhou, how will General Zhengbei act?"

He Lingchuan refused: "Dad, why don't you ask me for my opinion?"

"Then tell me."

"Rebellion." He Lingchuan smiled, "It's useless to argue. He has no other choice but to rebel."

Xunzhou Mu Nian Zanli originally wore the same trousers as Da Sima, but he was not present when Da Sima rebelled, and he hid his troops without sending any troops afterwards. Others did not know what his plan was, and Wang Ting was definitely dissatisfied: he did not send troops to fight against Da Sima. Sima just doesn't show his loyalty.

Now that the news of Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping's plot to obtain the square pot has spread, Xuzhou Mu is really stuck in his crotch. No matter how he pleads, the royal court will not accept it. What's more, he had bad intentions to begin with.

Doesn't this force him to rebel?

"Not necessarily, Nian Zanli also has other options." He Yue said, "In addition to rebelling with Da Sima, he can also defect to the Northern Demon Kingdom!"

He Lingchuan was stunned: "He is called the Great General of Zhengbei. Didn't he fight many battles with the Demon Kingdom?"

It seems that he should really find an opportunity to supplement this knowledge.

"Actually, the Nian family is doing well in the Northland." He Yue said, "After my father came to Qiansong County, he fought with foreign enemies every day for ten years. But you see, our border trade is now very prosperous. It also has good relations with many countries.”

"That's because there is still a Panlong Desert between us and the foreign enemy. As long as Heishui City is occupied, the other party will not be able to enter..." He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you want to say, Nian Praise. It is possible to surrender to the Northern Demon Kingdom.”

"Then his surrender gift to the Northern Demon Kingdom is the Xunzhou state under his jurisdiction." He Yue said to He Chunhua sternly, "In the end, he will not suffer a loss, because the Northern Demon Kingdom will appoint him to continue to serve as the governor of a state. It is an ancient practice to surrender a general to a state."

"Then he only has these two choices next, follow Da Sima, or defect to the Northern Demon Kingdom." He Chunhua pondered, "Although Da Sima has suffered a defeat recently, he has a strong foundation. With the help of Xunzhou Mu, domestic The chaotic war does not know when it will end; if he wants to beitou, the northern demon country is of course willing to take another state without losing any blood. Moreover, the terrain of Xunzhou is critical. Once it is occupied by the demon country, there will be a large plain and fertile wilderness behind it. It’s difficult to attack and defend.”

"In other words, no matter how Xunzhou Mu acts in the future, it will be a severe and bloody cut for Dayuan." He Lingchuan stretched his waist, "If I were the king, I might as well maintain the status quo."

He Chunhua frowned after hearing this.

He Lingchuan wiped his mouth and was about to leave the table when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Dad, Sun Fuping's staff is not working properly. Do you have any instructions for using it?"

After losing its owner, the beast-headed staff returned to the form of a vajra, and it remained silent no matter how much he used his true power to drive it.

"That staff is actually not suitable for your use, why not sell it?"

Mrs. Ying also spoke: "After this adventure, there are more places to spend money. Not to mention anything else, how much money will be spent on distributing pensions! Why not sell it to make up for the shortfall."

He Lingchuan hugged his chest with both hands: "This is my reward for rescuing dozens of people. My father gave it to me personally, so why should I go back?"

Want to deceive him? The family pension goes to the public account, and the He government does not have to pay for it.

He Chunhua was thoughtful and took out a notebook from his pocket, flipping through it, then tore off a page and gave it to him: "Here, the usage of that stick is written on it."
