Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 78 Ancient times ([-]) Alien invasion

The investigation was terminated halfway, or it should be said that the results were already known, so there was no point in continuing.

Yan Nanxu put the supplementary volume at the far end of the bookshelf, pretending that he had never seen it before.

But on the second day, Yan Nanxu learned from his servants' chat that the Buzhuang in the west of the city, which he had just visited yesterday, suddenly caught fire in the evening and burned all night. When he went to see it this morning, it was all in ruins. Fortunately, The people inside had already moved away, and no one was injured.

Buzhuang was originally a place prone to wildfires, and the government didn't care too much about it before it was considered a catastrophe, and only dealt with it as an accident.

Yan Nanxu didn't take it seriously. As soon as his front foot moved, his back foot caught fire. No one would believe him if he said it was okay.

But Yan Nanxu didn't want to care about it for the time being.

However, at noon, the guards suddenly reported that the Seventh Prince had come to have a chat with the Crown Prince alone, and that he was in the front hall right now.

Yan Nanxu didn't know what Yan Jin was doing at this time, maybe he was still thinking of pulling himself into his camp, or he was worried about the Xizhao Building, so he wanted to come and confirm it for himself... But anyway, Yan Jin Nan Xu didn't really want to see him.

Yan Nanxu asked the guards to persuade the seventh prince to go back, saying that he had already had a lunch break and was inconvenient to see guests.

Unexpectedly, after Yan Jin heard the reason, he still didn't leave, but stayed in the front hall and said that he would wait for the son to wake up.

The guards didn't dare to drive the prince away, so they had to come back and ask Nanxu for a banquet.

Yan Nanxu still didn't see him, saying that he was just so exhausted and left alone.

Yan Jin sat in the front hall for more than two hours, and waited from noon until dusk. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Yan Nanxu simply didn't want to see guests.

In the end, Yanjin got up to leave before it was completely dark, expressing his regret that he did not see the prince, and would come to visit again at another time. When he said this, his tone was calm, his emotions and anger were invisible, and it was hard to grasp his thoughts.

Yan Nanxu's visit to Yanjin this time was considered a very disgraceful rejection for him.

"Host, wouldn't it be good for us to do this?" the system asked worriedly.

"What's wrong? He only wants to see me for those few things, and I don't want to agree to any of them, so why do I want to see him?"

Yan Nanxu's words are indeed correct, but there are obviously better ways to make the result less embarrassing, Yan Nanxu just doesn't need it.

The system thought for a while and said, "Host, do you not like the protagonist very much now?"

Think about it too, my brother was almost plotted to death, can I have a good impression?
After figuring this out, the system tried to communicate: "Actually, this protagonist is quite special in the original plot. He is the kind of ruthless person..."

"A ruthless person?" Yan Nanxu said coldly: "He will be a monarch. It doesn't matter if a monarch is a ruthless person. After all, a general will become famous and his bones will be withered. But this 'ten thousand bones withered' can be a soldier on the battlefield or his political enemy." , can also be his competitor, but it should not be ordinary people!"

"He probably felt that Cao Yushi had joined the faction of the third prince, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. He created the Xizhao Tower and specially selected Yousi, the prince's son who didn't get much attention, so as to ensure that the landslide incident would be enough for Cao Yushi to die, but not let him die. The Ministry of Punishment's investigation is too strict, it's really a good plan, but, has he ever cared about the lives of so many innocent people? I can't agree with him by taking the lives of ordinary people to pave the way for himself."

The system was in a bit of a dilemma, so it could only try its best to comfort him: "After all, he is the protagonist. If you don't want to see him, he won't want to see you. He still has to help."

Yan Nanxu didn't say anything more.

The days that followed were peaceful for a while. During this period, Cao Yushi, who had been dismissed from his post, was finally released by the Ministry of Punishment and prepared to return to his hometown. Before leaving, he asked someone to send a letter to Yan Nanxu. The content was probably to thank the prince for his life-saving grace, but he would not be able to repay it for the time being. , If there is an opportunity in the future, it will be a no-brainer.

Yan Nanxu saw that his handwriting was straight and majestic, and he could see words like a human being. He felt pity for his honest life, but he was involved in this innocent disaster. He had selfish motives and could not rehabilitate him, so he sent someone to give him money so that he could be a good person after returning home. Spend the rest of your life.

The Lantern Festival is over, the day of the Awakening of Insects.

Suddenly, an emergency report came from the border. Foreigners invaded, and a city was captured unexpectedly. Now they are watching eagerly at the border!
The emperor held an emergency meeting, and everyone gathered in the court to discuss countermeasures.

Regarding the invasion of foreign races, everyone's attitudes are different. Some people advocate precautions, and others advocate taking the initiative to attack.

Defense is not a long-term strategy, and attack may not be safe, so it is difficult to decide for a while.

At this time, Yanjin took the initiative to step forward and said: "The foreigners have never been at odds with our dynasty. It is impossible to seek peace. We should fight."

A minister stood up and objected, "Foreigners are fierce by nature, and now they have seized the opportunity to win a city. Immediate attack is not good for our army."

Yanjin continued: "Of course it's not appropriate to face off directly. I have a way to defeat more with less and win effortlessly."

Hearing this, the emperor paid attention and asked Yanjin to continue.

"If you want to defeat more with less, you can't attack by force. First, let the soldiers evacuate directly, pretend to abandon the city, and lure the enemy deep into the city. After the large foreign troops enter the city, blow up a dam at the rear. The dam has been filled with water recently, and the flood is coming. It's determined The foreigners who are not good at water will suffer heavy casualties, and then our army will take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and it will be overwhelming."

This method uses the advantage of location. It is true that as long as the timing is right, it will not cost a single soldier, but...

The third prince Yan Ze immediately stood up and objected: "Blow up the dam, and the people in the city will suffer heavy casualties!"

Yanjin raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "If the city gate is broken, those people will not be saved anyway, and our army will suffer heavy losses, so why not sacrifice for victory? If our army can succeed this time, we will surely be able to win consecutive battles." Breaking down the counting cities of foreign tribes is considered a comfort to those people who made sacrifices."

A minister wanted to find a compromise, and suggested: "How about we arrange for the people to evacuate before that, so as to minimize casualties?"

"No," Yan Jin retorted: "The foreigners keep a close eye on them, and they are suspicious by nature. If they leave an empty city there, they probably won't enter with confidence. If they want to attract their main army, at least half of the people in the city cannot leave. "

The people all lived together, and it was absolutely impossible to transfer half of them quietly. To put it bluntly, they either left together or none of them could leave.

There was a lot of discussion in the court.

Yan Jin spoke again, "I would like to guarantee that this method can break through several cities of foreign tribes, so that they will not dare to be presumptuous in recent years, and I ask my father to decide."

The method of banqueting Jin is indeed highly feasible. If it is really implemented, it can deter foreigners and allow him to establish a prestige in the court. As for those common people... Maybe no one will remember them when they win.

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought about something, but did not give a verdict immediately.

Yan Jin waited for a while, and seemed to be getting a little impatient. Just about to speak again, Yan Nanxu suddenly stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty."

Yan Nanxu usually did not come to the court, but this time the situation was urgent, and the King of Sichuan Nan happened to be on the front line. As the crown prince, he also participated in the battle meeting.

Seeing him stand up, the emperor motioned him to continue talking.

Yan Nanxu glanced at Yanjin from the corner of her eye, and saw that he was looking at her with probing and warning eyes.

"Your Majesty, I think the method mentioned by the Seventh Prince is feasible, but it must not be possible!"
