Chapter 356 Surprise (Please Subscribe)

The object of the 'marriage' with Qian Xiangguo was originally similar to that in the original novel Red Mansions. The old concubine Nan'an fell in love with Tan Chun, but anyway, it was the girl from another family who was causing trouble.

It's a pity that the current Rong Mansion is not what it used to be. How can it be possible to agree to the 'request' of the old concubine Nan'an?

Not even Mrs. Wang would agree, let alone the face-loving Mr. Zheng.

Tanchun is Jia Huan's biological sister. Anyone who dares to sell her must be prepared to completely fall out with Jia Huan. Obviously, the bargaining chip given by the old concubine Nan'an is far from enough.

On the other side, the old lady of Nan'an didn't dare to take risks!

I really thought she couldn't find out. She was the old lady of the Rong Mansion, the wife of the Xungui family, and even the head of the Xungui family came to force her to use her connections and resources in the southwest. There was Jia Huan behind the scenes.

If Jia Huan gets angry, Nan'an County Prince's Palace may not be able to withstand the torment!

Not only that, the old concubine Nan'an also knew that Jia Huan was leading his army to the southwest. No one knew what the purpose was, and the old concubine Nan'an did not dare to take risks.

It doesn’t work to explore the spring, nor does it work to welcome the spring or appreciate the spring!

The old concubine of Nan'an could only look for other targets, but unfortunately the time was too short to allow the Nan'an County Prince's Palace to think about it slowly.

The negotiations between the imperial court and the Qianxiang Kingdom are progressing rapidly, and the Nan'an County Prince's Palace must quickly select a candidate.

Then, the only option is to choose the concubine of the palace, and the legitimate daughter is impossible!

In this regard, the old concubine Nan'an was helpless!

This time, the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion suffered a shocking loss, which can be said to be heartbreaking!

The 'gifts' that the imperial court promised to compensate Qianxiang Kingdom were all paid for by the Prince of Nan'an County.

Otherwise, if he had to take the initiative to pay for such a shameful thing, he would not agree to it even if he were beaten to death.

In fact, if the old concubine Nan'an can keep her composure and stop urging her to go to the present, I am afraid that the current situation will have improved greatly and there will be no sign of the current embarrassment.

Therefore, when the envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom was about to leave the capital and return to his mission, an explosive news came from the southwest border: the Qianxiang Kingdom's army that invaded the southwest region of Daqian was defeated!

This sudden news not only stunned the complacent envoy of Qianxiang Kingdom, but also stunned the courtiers of Daqian who had just experienced a humiliating negotiation.

Is there any mistake?

Is this true? The news cannot be false, right?

Then, the current emperor, with a red face in the court, happily announced the accuracy of the news.

Afterwards, under the dazed gazes of the courtiers, he boasted unceremoniously.

How could the majestic Central Plains Empire endure the deception of the surrounding small countries?

The previous negotiation with the other party's envoy was just a normal strategic deception. No one should take it too seriously. As an emperor, he would definitely not do such a thing easily.

That is a big stain that will be recorded in history books and criticized by future generations!

Some courtiers who were not thick enough actually believed the lies of the present day, and could not help but say "Your Majesty is wise" with sincerity, showing a little more recognition and respect for the present day.

As for the real boss in the court, he wouldn’t believe a word of it!

They are more willing to admit that Jia Huan's army is nothing more than a casual move today. It's just that Jia Huan is really awesome and gave me an extraordinary surprise today.

Otherwise, even if in order to paralyze the opponent, Jia Huan's troops left quietly when they first left, why should they be informed during the small court meeting now?

Is it possible that the court bosses who are currently suspected of participating in the Xiaochao meeting are traitors of the Qianxiang Kingdom?

What a joke!

If that were the case, Daqian would have perished long ago. How could it still persist until now?

You know, Houjin in the Northeast had briefly been in charge of the Forbidden City before. His position in the hearts of the courtiers was much higher than that of Qianxiang Kingdom, right?

In fact, the court officials guessed it right!

Naturally, I didn't expect that Jia Huan was so good at fighting!

After running thousands of miles to the southwest region, I originally thought that they would only have a small fight, but who knew that in the end they could actually defeat the invading army of Qianxiang Kingdom in one battle and completely defeat it.

You know, Jia Huan only took away three thousand Qingqi!

According to the news from the southwest, the number of Qianxiang Kingdom's troops entering the southwest of Daqian is at least more than 50,000, and there are signs of continuous increase.

There is no way, for Qianxiang Country, the southwest region is an out-and-out big fat piece of meat!

Just take a bite and your mouth will be full of oil and water, making everyone want to tear off a piece of fat!

In the end, Jia Huan and his three thousand Qingqi were defeated directly?

If it hadn't been for Jia Huan, the southwest local government, and some spies who sent the message at the same time, even today, even today, it would be impossible to believe such news easily!

This is too exaggerated!

All in all, I’m very surprised right now, and I feel indescribably happy!

Thinking of Princess Nan'an who kept urging her and the extremely humiliating negotiations, he couldn't help but sneer: Now, it's the old woman's turn to be embarrassed!

Of course, he would never admit it. He had also acknowledged it during the previous negotiations.

There is no way, after a hundred years of peace, the local garrison in the south is probably rotten to the core.

The ones who can really fight are the 100,000 troops under Prince Nan'an who have been stationed at the southwest border!

It's a pity that in the previous battle with neighboring countries, the 100,000 troops under the command of Nan'an County Prince were defeated, and in the end not one of them was left alive!

Under such circumstances, whoever still has the confidence to fight against the invading Qian Xiang Kingdom's army with continuous reinforcements would be good if they could barely maintain the situation.

If you really have an idea, you have to mobilize troops from the Central Plains and the North, but this takes time!

If nothing else, two months of preparation time is necessary!

When the army is dispatched, it is quite difficult to transport grain, grass, weapons and other logistical equipment to the southwest.

Again, there are many mountains and dense forests in the southwest. The so-called "One Hundred Thousand Mountains" refers to the mountains in the southwest. This shows that the geographical environment is complex and the road traffic conditions are even more miserable.

According to past experience and the advice provided by the senior generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, it would be impossible to deal with the Qianxiang Kingdom's invading army within a year and a half.

If the war goes unfavorably, it may last for three to five years!

Under such circumstances, today's attitude towards negotiations is to hold one's nose and accept it.

Of course, externally, it was claimed that due to the constant urging of the old concubine of Nan'an, and the willingness of the Nan'an County Prince's Palace to pay a sufficient price to deal with the negotiations, they had to reluctantly agree to this. Such nonsense.

After all, it's just a fig leaf. It can be used to cover it up.

The main thing depends on the subsequent situation. If the imperial court can successfully retaliate against Qianxiang Kingdom, then everything will be easy to say.

But if there is no news, no matter how the emperor and the court cover it up, it will be recorded in the history books, which is not a good thing for his posthumous reputation.

It can only be said that the situation is stronger than the people, and now we have no choice but to admit that we are unlucky.

What else could be done?

Even if Qiu Hou settles the accounts and completely solves the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, things have already happened, and the stain on him cannot be washed away at all, okay?

Fortunately, the news of Jia Huan's huge victory in the southwest came just in time.

Now that he was in a good mood, he immediately dispatched spies from the Jinyi Mansion and intelligence personnel from the south to the southwest region to verify the situation and see how much content Jia Huan's battle report contained.

He had already made a decision in his heart. As long as the Qianxiang Kingdom's army was indeed severely damaged, he would immediately promote Jia Huan to a higher rank and no one could stop him!

The reason is easy to find. Since you don't agree with Jia Huan's promotion, the things in the southwest will be handled by the guy who dissuades him. He must do it beautifully, otherwise he will never agree to it now!

Given such conditions, I believe no minister in the court would agree!

That's gambling with their official status!

Maybe, the Great Qian Dynasty will produce a young ‘champion’!

Thinking of this now, I can't help but smile relaxedly and comfortably.

The haze accumulated in my heart recently disappeared in the blink of an eye!

The first person to notice it was Xiang Daiquan in the Daming Palace!

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, this is not a fun saying, it is the fact.

In the past two months, Dai Quan has been quite frightened!

There is no way, the current emperor is in a bad mood, and Dai Quan, as a close servant, is naturally not in a good mood either.

For fear that a bad move would offend the emperor, he would be the first eunuch in the palace to fall from the clouds in an instant. That was no joke, it would kill someone.

Therefore, he has been very nervous and depressed recently!

But there is no way, the army of Qianxiang Kingdom does not know who Dai Quan is!

He could only muster up his energy and be careful to serve the emperor who had a bad temper.

Finally, nothing got into trouble during this period, and he didn't take the opportunity to vent his anger on the eunuchs who were waiting around him.

Since the news of Jia Huan's victory came from the southwest, today's mood suddenly became sunny.

Dai Quan naturally noticed it quickly and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

In my heart, I feel indescribable gratitude to Jia Huan, who is thousands of miles away.

Sure enough, Huan Boy is reliable!

When this kid took the initiative to ask Jin Jin to lead troops to the southwest, he knew that this guy was very ambitious, but he didn't expect that his ability was so strong.

How long has it been? A little over three months?

In Dai Quan's opinion, Jia Huan's troops are probably still marching hard. Who doesn't know that the environment in that ghost place in the southwest is very bad, making it very inconvenient for the army to move!

But despite this, Jia Huan won unexpectedly quickly!

If the battle report is not informative, Jia Huan's troops were not fighting, but simply on an armed parade, and they easily dismissed the tens of thousands of Qianxiang Kingdom's troops as bandits.

Such an ability is amazing just thinking about it!

No matter whether he will be suspected of overshadowing his master with his merits in the future, for Dai Quan right now, Jia Huan's performance has been a great help, and he will definitely have to thank him in the future.

When it comes to the news that Jia Huan defeated the Qianxiang Kingdom's army, the people who reacted the most indifferently were those in the Rong Mansion.

They didn't know much about the war in the southwest, and they didn't know how much of a deterrent the Qian Xiang Kingdom's army was. They also thought they were in trouble with the courtiers today, but they just thought it was ordinary.

Likewise, they didn't think Jia Huan's record was so impressive, and their attitude was very calm!
