Chapter 553: King Chong Who Wants an Alliance
Chongzhou, Chongwangfu.
King Chong Chu Yan stood under the rockery and stood looking out, while Gongsun Yan on the left was wearing light armor and standing with his hands down.
On the right side of Chu Yan is a man wearing an azure brocade robe. This man is Liang Song, the former magistrate of Yuzhou, who is also Liang Xue's father.
Already a cripple, he returned to Hexi and was hired by Chu Yan as the head of the palace.
Behind Chu Yan, a man dressed as a servant, with his hands clasped and his waist bowed, reported the latest situation from the outside world.
After listening, Chu Yan snorted coldly and said with a bad look, "This Duke An Guo has been very proud of himself recently."
"I really didn't expect that this Yue Ruyan, who is also a descendant of the Nanyue Kingdom royal family and a warrior in the magical power realm, would actually commit herself to become Chen Thief's concubine." Gongsun Yan said.
At this moment, Gongsun Yan felt like he couldn't eat the grapes and said they were sour.
In fact, no one knows that when Gongsun Yan was sent by King Chong to reinforce Longyou, he fought side by side with Yue Ruyan for more than a year, and he had some feelings for such a brave and good-looking female general. think.
In fact, the pressure of sergeants in the army is high, and the barracks are relatively closed. Women are rarely seen. Even sows can compete with Diao Chan. The hormones that have nowhere to rest will naturally induce Gongsun Yan to develop feelings for Yue Ruyan. .
To be honest, Gongsun Yan wanted to take Yue Ruyan and the others back to Chongzhou that day, but he also had the idea of getting the moon first.
After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. When Yue Ruyan attached to King Chong, as the number one general under King Chong, he had a good chance of winning the beauty back.
Besides, he still has a favor to help Yue Ruyan.
Liang Song was naturally angry towards the person who took away his wife and daughter. Even though it had been more than three years, he had never forgotten his hatred. He just learned to suppress it and hide it. At this moment, when he saw King Chong's frown, he couldn't help but move. After thinking about it, he said:
"Your Majesty, Chen Mo now controls the entire north, and has rich lands such as Huai, Jiangdong, and Jiangnan in the south. He has also formed an alliance with Yang Xian of Shu Mansion. His power is far greater than that of Xu Guozhong. If we wait for him to take advantage of the imperial examination, The selected talents will control the entire north for him. By then, no one in the world will be his opponent, and they will inevitably covet all parts of the south and threaten the prince.
If the prince wants to realize what he wants, he must get rid of this enemy as soon as possible. "
King Chong's eyes dimmed for a moment, how could he not know this, and said: "I know this, but my current strength cannot compete with him."
Liang Song said: "My lord, for the present plan, the only way is to form an alliance with the vassal kings from all over the country, put aside the previous grudges and unhappiness, join forces to fight against Chen, and stay together for warmth.
"Master Liang Bo is right. Your Majesty, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. King Huai has been defeated, Jin Xia has retreated, and Chen Zei is ambitious. The next step must be for the prince. Since King Anping let King Huai come to Chongzhou, he obviously wanted to As a relative of the clan, if the prince explains his interests to him, he will definitely be able to win over him to fight against Chen Thief." Gongsun Yan said.
This is not because Yue Ruyan has become Chen Mo's concubine, he said this, but because of the current situation, Chen Mo's family has grown bigger, and if he wants to gain living space, he must fight against it.
Unless King Chong bows his head to Chen Mo.
In other words, even if he knew that he was not Chen Mo's opponent, he still had to fight him at this time. If he waited until Chen Mo completely controlled the entire north, then he would have the entire north to supply him with a steady stream of blood transfusions, and he would lose even if he wanted to. No more.
"Brother Yan, we can no longer let him develop. I just received news that Qing, Yu, Lin, and Huaizhou are recruiting troops. Chen Mo has also arrived in Huaizhou, obviously coming to my Fengzhou."
At this moment, Prince Huai ignored the obstruction of Prince Chong's housekeeper and walked over quickly with an anxious look on his face.
When King Huai first surrendered to King Chong, he kept urging King Chong to send troops to Huaizhou, but King Chong refused because it was too cold to send troops. After that, whenever King Huai wanted to send troops to attack Chen Mo, King Chong used various methods to attack Chen Mo. He refused for various reasons and obviously did not dare to meet Chen Mo.
"Your Majesty, this servant cannot stop Prince Huai." The butler looked embarrassed.
King Chong frowned, waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to go down first, and said: "Fourth brother, didn't I say that this matter cannot be rushed, there is no time yet."
"If I wait any longer, there will never be a chance. I just kept delaying it at that time. If I had attacked him when he attacked Linzhou and didn't give him time to grow, I wouldn't be where I am today. ." King Huai said.
Hearing this, King Chong was quite disdainful of this. Is it because of your procrastination?
At that time, when you had just finished conquering the Tianshi Army and were still holding Huaizhou, as long as you called me to join you, Huaizhou would not be lost.
It’s not that your self-confidence was extremely inflated at that time and you didn’t want me to take a piece of it.
Okay, even if you don't want me to take advantage.
At least there is no need to cross the river from Fengzhou to attack Qingzhou. Instead, we can directly concentrate our forces across the river from Huaizhou to attack Linzhou. Can Chen Mo stop it?
There are so many opportunities to win, but you just choose to lose.
Fortunately, King Huai didn't know what King Chong was thinking, otherwise he would have to defend himself. How did I know that Liu Ji would betray me? How did I know that the Wu family would marry Chen Mo? How did I know that Chen Mo dared to attack Huaizhou? How did I know that Chen Mo was a warrior in the magical realm? How did I know that Liang Xuan would be killed by Chen Mo?
Chu Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Even if I send troops to attack Chen Mo, I have to pass through Uncle Wang's territory, but how could Uncle Wang let me pass by? It's not like you don't understand Uncle Wang, Fourth Brother."
The uncle Wang in Chu Yan's mouth is King Anping.
King Anping was used to being a coward. He dared to send King Huai to Chongzhou, but he would never dare to let King Chong's army attack Chen Mo from Yanzhou, because anyone with a discerning eye would know that he and King Chong had joined forces to attack Chen Mo together.
King Chong could even think that even if he followed Gongsun Yan's advice and explained the pros and cons to King Anping, the latter would not dare to form an alliance with him.
"Uncle Wang is nothing but a bully. At that time, Xu Guozhong was also powerful, and Uncle Wang did not dare to provoke him. But when I united with the princes to defend the king, Uncle Wang sent troops anyway." Prince Huai pondered for a while and said, "As long as you make a big noise, Uncle Wang will be fine."
Prince Chong frowned and asked in confusion, "How to make a big noise?"
Prince Huai was silent for a while, and according to the advice given by the Fifth Fusheng before coming, he said, "We can cooperate with Lu Sheng. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Chen Mo is now powerful, and Lu Sheng will also feel threatened. As long as Brother Yan can unite with Lu Sheng, Uncle Wang will definitely join in when he gets the news."
And the one who was defending the king at that time was Xu Guozhong, not Lu Sheng.
"Lu Sheng."
Hearing this, Prince Chong fell into thought.
