Chapter 263 Analysis

Seeing Xu Chengkang die, the lobby suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Yuan above.

"Check it!"

Li Yuan ordered, in this atmosphere, it would be unreasonable not to investigate further.

"yes!"

Song Lan stood up and responded. Xu Longhai and Xu Ze'an's eyes went dark and they almost fell to the ground.

Li Yuan looked at them calmly. If the Xu family had done nothing wrong, they would not be afraid of investigation. But looking at their current situation, Xu Chengkang's words were 70% true.

After Li Yuan withdrew from the hall, the surrounding people immediately burst into heated discussions.

As a big family in Dufucheng, the Xu family broke out in such a scandal and was on the investigation list, which was enough to trigger major events in Dufucheng.

For a time, the whole capital city was in uproar.

At this time, Li Yuan was invited to the Song family and came to the Song family as a guest.

Although the Xu family's incident shocked the capital city, it was not a big deal in Li Yuan's eyes, and the people below would give him a satisfactory explanation.

In the main hall of the Song family hall, a table of delicious food has been prepared.

When Li Yuan was receiving warm hospitality from Song Kong, besides Song Kong, he was accompanied by an old man. This person was Song Yaoyang, the second venerable of the Song family, the second ancestor of the Song family, and a late-stage Dharma Master.

After Li Yuan greeted Song Yaoyang, a gentle woman arrived.

"The little girl Song Yuyun pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Song Yuyun leaned forward slightly. Her voice was as beautiful as spring water, refreshing and refreshing, giving people a sweet feeling in the hot summer.

Li Yuan looked back, and saw a pretty face in front of him, with flushed cheeks and starry eyes. There was both pity and shyness in his eyes...

"Your Highness, this is my little girl Song Yuyun. She admires His Highness very much. She often clamors to see His Highness. Today I finally have the opportunity." Song Kong next to him said with a smile, his eyes fixed on Li Yuan's every move, feeling a little nervous inside. .

Xu Kuang's daughter Xu Fengwu, and Liu Qingquan's daughter Liu Yanxin, the masters of the two major forces let their daughters establish a close relationship with the King of Chu. How could he, Song Kong, lag behind.

"Miss Song, please get up."

Li Yuan has always been courteous to women, a beautiful woman, a great beauty.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Song Yuyun met Li Yuan's gentle eyes, nodded shyly, and stood up smoothly to pour a glass of wine for Li Yuan, Song Kong, and Song Yaoyang. The aroma of wine suddenly filled the hall!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to our Song family. It's a great honor for me." Song Kong and Song Yaoyang stood up at the same time and raised their glasses to Li Yuan with great enthusiasm.

"I will need more help from the Song family in the future!" Li Yuan raised his glass in return and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"The Song family swears to follow His Highness the King of Chu to the death!"

Song Kong's tone was firm, allowing everyone to see his sincerity, and Song Yaoyang nodded equally seriously.

"Okay, I will never treat the Song family badly!" Li Yuan's face was full of sincerity.

"Your Highness, please!"

"Please!"

Then the three of them drank all the wine in one gulp and began to pick up the food. They began to chat in various modes, with Song Yuyun adjusting the atmosphere, causing everyone to laugh from time to time.

After three rounds of drinking, outside the Song family house, Song Kong and Song Yaoyang saw Li Yuan off enthusiastically. They looked at each other with a hint of reassurance.

Returning to the hall, he saw Song Yuyun waiting for him. Song Kong looked at his gentle and jade-like beloved daughter, and became more and more satisfied.

"Yuyun, what do you think of His Highness the King of Chu?"

Song Yuyun smiled like a flower and said in a gentle voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is naturally very good, but now I want to know about the situation of Xu Fengwu, Liu Yanxin and Nangong Xiyue."

Song Yuyun's eyes sparkled, and under his soft face, he was smarter than people imagined.

For ladies from aristocratic families like them, men compete for the world and women compete for men!

Women's war is about to begin!

………………

"Your Highness, there is a decisive battle in Fengzhou!"

As soon as he entered the government office, Jia Xu came with Fengzhou information.

Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly, he took the information from Jia Xu and sat back in his chair, reading it carefully.

Prince Ming's situation is now what Li Yuan needs to pay most attention to.

King Ming had solved the Fengzhou Alliance, and now it was time for him to face King Ming head-on.

A month ago, King Ming had already led a large army to suppress the Fengzhou Alliance, the major frontier mansion, Fengyanfu.

The Ming army has a total of 700,000 troops on both sides, nine venerables, and more than 30 Tianwu realm experts.

This month, King Ming still maintained a fierce attack. Seven of the eight counties of Fengyan Prefecture have been captured, and the Fengzhou Alliance was defeated all the way. Now there are only 370,000 remnants of the army, six venerables, and more than 20 Tianwu realms. Defending in Fengjiang County, all the forces of the Fengzhou Alliance were huddled in the last county.

Now King Ming is ready, and his army will attack Fengjiang County in an all-out way, preparing for the final battle to win the entire Fengzhou Alliance.

"Wenhe, how confident is King Ming that he can completely resolve the Fengzhou Alliance this time?"

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back and let the letter flutter behind him.

"I'm afraid I'm 100% sure!" Jia Xu affirmed.

"The Fengzhou Alliance has always been the strongest among the four states. There used to be a total of fourteen sages and a million-strong army. Now, most of them have been wiped out by King Ming. The remaining people are just struggling to death."

"Now that the Ming army has pushed the Fengzhou Alliance into a desperate situation and wants to capture it by force, King Ming is not afraid that he will also suffer heavy losses after defeating the Fengzhou Alliance?" Li Yuan looked at the intelligence in his hand and couldn't help but wonder what King Ming was planning to do?

Now that the Fengzhou Alliance is in dire straits, it would be best if we follow the normal procedures and encircle them without attacking, use rumors to demoralize the Fengzhou Alliance troops, and then slowly plan to persuade them to surrender.

After all, there is only the last county left in the Fengzhou Alliance. What is the purpose of King Ming's plan to attack the Fengzhou Alliance?

In a hurry?

It shouldn’t be. Now there is only one county left in the entire Fengzhou. Everything that should be taken has been taken. The other places have been controlled, and this last county is not missing. After taking control of Fengzhou, we can solve the Fengzhou Alliance. Not too late.

Does King Ming have other ideas?

Directly force the Fengzhou Alliance out of the Yu Dynasty?

But it doesn’t look like it.

For King Ming, a powerful enemy, there was no room for Li Yuan to be careless.

Jia Xu pondered for a while and then said: "If I guessed correctly, there is an internal agent belonging to King Ming in the Fengzhou Alliance!"

"If King Ming had internal support, the Fengzhou Alliance should be able to persuade them to surrender or destroy them early. However, King Ming forced the Fengzhou Alliance to retreat to the last county. What is King Ming waiting for?"

"And what are the Toyoshu Alliance waiting for?"

Li Yuan became more confused about the situation in Fengzhou.

Now that Huanzhou has been taken by himself, the Fengzhou Alliance has no allies. If the stalemate continues, there are only three outcomes.

One is to surrender and preserve the last flame of the family.

The second is to escape from the Yu Dynasty and go far beyond the borders.

The third is to fight to the death to preserve the last dignity of the family.

Since King Ming still has internal agents, the war should not have been left until now. The Fengzhou Alliance should have been solved long ago. Why force the Fengzhou Alliance into a desperate situation before taking action.

When a force is forced into a desperate situation, the fighting power that breaks out will be terrifying.

Moreover, time was wasted. It’s not like he was rushing to solve the Fengzhou Alliance, but now he is attacking by force. What does King Ming plan to do?

"Your Highness, do you still remember that Wei Chen once said that the assassin who assassinated Your Highness may not have come to the Yu Dynasty, but probably came from forces outside the court!" Jia Xu suddenly said something completely unrelated.

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Jia Xu with a serious face. An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood what Jia Xu meant.

Assassins, foreign forces!

Toyosu, the border!

King Ming!

After thinking about the key in his mind crazily, the fog in Li Yuan's heart gradually cleared, and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes:

"Wenhe, are you saying that if the assassin comes from a force outside the DPRK, then their real target is probably in Fengzhou?"

"Yes, their real target now should be King Ming." Jia Xu nodded heavily: "If it is really the work of external forces, they should first want to deal with His Highness, so that Huanzhou and Lingzhou will fall into chaos.

This would allow King Ming to relax his vigilance, and secondly, it would also attract the attention of the forces of the Yu Dynasty to Huanzhou.

At this time, if they suddenly deal with King Ming again, they will lead the army into the Yu Dynasty before all the forces in the Yu Dynasty have time to react!

If the King of Chu is assassinated and the King of Ming is defeated again, the four major states of Feng, Yi, Huan, and Ling will be completely unclaimed, and foreign dynasty forces will be able to invade directly. "

"For them, the key battle to enter the border of the Yu Dynasty is in Fengzhou!" Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he waved his jade fan heavily!

"So, the Fengzhou Alliance has colluded with foreign forces!" Li Yuan heard Jia Xu's analysis and felt that the clouds were cleared.

Immediately, Li Yuan opened his eyes, thought of something again, and said with some shock: "So, King Ming even knew that the Fengzhou Alliance had colluded with foreign forces, and then set up an ambush!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "If King Ming knows that there are enemies outside the Fengzhou border that are eyeing him, he will naturally want to solve the future troubles."

Li Yuan showed a faint murderous intention at this time: "Beyond the border of Fengzhou is the Rihui Dynasty!"

"The Rihui Dynasty has always been ambitious. If they have the opportunity to bite the Yu Dynasty, they will never let go of this opportunity!"

Jia Xu calmly analyzed: "Some time ago, the dynasty competition, under the manipulation of the court, made the Rihui Dynasty and the Nanming Dynasty hate each other. The armies of the two dynasties have camped on the border of the dynasty. The war is about to break out. It seems that everything is under our control. middle."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If their two dynasties have secretly joined forces, the battle between the armies will be a deception and make us all relax our vigilance in order to prepare to invade the Yu Dynasty!"

"So the Fengzhou Alliance should be connected to these two dynasties!"

Jia Xu nodded: "If King Ming still has internal agents, he should have known by now that these two dynasties are preparing to sneak into Fengzhou!"

"However, I still have a problem. The assassin who assassinated my king was not sent by these two dynasties." Li Yuan thought of something again, and the murderous intention in his heart became even deeper!

"The Imperial Dynasty has also intervened!" Li Yuan's tone became more serious.

"Xuanwu Dynasty, Fengyu Dynasty!" Jia Xu lowered his head and silently recited the names of these two dynasties.

"Wen He, do you think King Ming knows if there is any shadow of the dynasty behind the Fengzhou Alliance and the two dynasties." Li Yuan asked.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, but his tone was calm:

"The advisers under King Ming are like rain, so we can naturally guess that there is a royal dynasty behind it."

"In this case, why didn't King Ming contact me, or did he say that he had the strength to solve this matter?" Li Yuan frowned, showing suspicion.

If the direction of his and Jia Xu's analysis is correct, the Fengzhou Alliance is now an overall situation. With the intervention of the other two dynasties, King Ming's strength may not be able to absorb it.

King Ming probably wouldn't care about this kind of incident involving the rival dynasty of the Yu Dynasty. He could definitely find an ally to trap and kill these invaders together.

"This... maybe King Ming has other means. After all, King Ming still has reinforcements from Yizhou." Seeing that Li Yuan had thought about this aspect so quickly, Jia Xu sighed lightly in his tone.

Li Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded. Indeed, King Ming's methods were extraordinary, but General Ji Wushuang of Yizhou remained untouched.

But after thinking about it, Li Yuan felt uneasy for some reason, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from, so he said:

"Wenhe, this king plans to let Lu Bu lead his troops to the border from Huanzhou to Fengzhou to take charge.

This can be used as a precaution. If something goes wrong on King Ming's side, we can also prevent it in time.

Secondly, no matter when King Ming takes Fengzhou, our relationship with King Ming will be very complicated. By sending Lu Bu to sit on the border, we can feel more at ease. "

When Jia Xu heard this, a gleam of light flashed through his deep eyes, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face:

"Your Highness, I think it is inappropriate."

"What's the explanation?"

"When we captured Huanzhou, King Ming took the initiative to ask Ji Wushuang to withdraw from the border of Huanzhou and said that he would not attack Huanzhou, which made us feel completely at ease."

"Now King Ming is about to deal with the last enemy army, but we are sending a large army to the border. This will easily cause King Ming to misunderstand."

Jia Xu saw that Li Yuan's frown had not relaxed, so he couldn't help but smile:

"Your Highness, since Prince Ming already knows the Fengzhou Alliance's plan, there is no way he will lose. With Prince Ming's arrogant temperament, even if he knows that there is an imperial dynasty intervening behind the scenes, he may not be afraid of them."

"Therefore, I think we can make preparations in Huanzhou and wait and see what happens."

After hearing this, Li Yuan finally let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

Indeed, according to King Ming's character, he would not sacrifice his face to ask others for help even if he knew that there was a strong enemy.

"Okay, Wenhe, let's keep an eye on the situation in Fengzhou."

"Understood, I am resigning!"

………………

When Jia Xu returned to his mansion, a tall scribe walked slowly over holding a fan.

"Jia Wenhe, I heard that there is going to be a decisive battle in Fengzhou."

Cheng Yu, the great counselor Li Yuan had summoned before, had nothing important to do now, so Li Yuan asked him to follow him around to familiarize himself with the power situation in the Chu Palace.

"Zhongde, it's so late tonight, why are you so excited to come to me?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Jia Xu's eyes.

"You came out early, and each of you made great contributions to His Highness. If I don't work hard, how can I be appreciated by His Highness?" Cheng Yu shook his jade fan and said without any concealment.

"So you came here for Fengzhou?" Jia Xu understood Cheng Yu's thoughts in an instant.

"Of course, I believe Wen He already has seven or eight ideas about Fengzhou." Cheng Yu looked at Jia Xu meaningfully and said:

"I wonder if Wen He has mentioned anything to His Highness, what if the Fengzhou Alliance also guesses that there is an internal agent from Prince Ming in their Fengzhou Alliance?"
