I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Um?

Chen Longxiang's expression froze and his eyebrows subconsciously raised. This was his unique expression when he was nervous.

On the other hand, Chen Qingzhi, after saluting and saying hello to Chen Longxiang who was on the throne, still looked confident and calm, with no emotional fluctuations visible on his mature and wise face.

There was even Xian Qing Yizhi joking with Chen Longxiang, saying: "Why, in just one month, His Highness doesn't know me anymore?"

Ahem!

It was only then that the astonished Chen Longxiang finally recovered from the shock and hurriedly ordered: "Come here, show the deputy commander his seat!"

Immediately, rebel soldiers moved a chair for Chen Qingzhi and placed it on the right hand side of the regent Chen Longxiang.

Chen Qingzhi was not polite and sat down without any hesitation. He even asked with a smile: "Your Highness, I have been working hard all the way here. Can you give me a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat?"

Forehead--

Chen Longxiang was stunned and ordered again: "Come here, show Mr. Han some tea!"

Not long after, another soldier came into the tent with hot tea and respectfully delivered it to the Korean Duke Chen Qingzhi. He also did not forget to bring hot tea to the regent Chen Longxiang and the other generals in the tent.

I saw that after Chen Qingzhi took the hot tea, he tasted it carefully without any intention of speaking.

In the big tent, the rebel generals including the regent Chen Longxiang saw this and were not sure what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Korean Duke Chen Qingzhi;

After communicating with each other by looking at each other, they all invariably spread their hands and looked confused;

Simply, he stopped thinking wildly, and instead followed the example of Korean Master Chen Qingzhi, minding his own business while sipping the hot tea in the cup in front of him.

Don't tell me, in this early spring when it is warm and cold at first, it is extremely pleasant to drink a cup of hot tea in the harbor military camp on the Goguryeo Peninsula;

It seems that the two distinct groups in this big tent are not related to the official army and the rebels, but to neighbors meeting for a spring outing to enjoy the scenery.

Even Chen Longxiang, the rebel leader and regent of Daxin, was a little confused;

I thought to myself: How is this different from the story line in the storytelling, "When two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed if they are not killed"?

Logically speaking, when the war is imminent and the two armies confront each other, it should be a tense and tense situation. Even if an envoy is sent, it should not be a verbal exchange, and then bring the tactics of both sides or a letter of persuasion to surrender. Walk away?

When encountering a radical enemy general, he wants to kill the envoy of the other side, and he has to shout the slogan of not killing the envoy when the two armies are fighting!

But, why did everything change when we arrived at this king's place?

This Korean man, Chen Qingzhi, broke into the enemy camp single-handedly. After arriving, there was neither a quarrel nor a tense situation. Instead, he was like a gentleman from an academy who came to teach students. He actually had the leisure to sip tea?

This is somewhat new and strange!

While Chen Longxiang was secretly trying to figure out Chen Qingzhi's intentions, Chen Qingzhi, who was sipping hot tea calmly, was also watching every move of the rebel generals in the tent, including Chen Longxiang, with the corner of his eye;

When he discovered that the tense nerves and vigilant eyes of the rebel generals slowly relaxed under his influence, there was a cunning flash in Chen Qingzhi's wise eyes that was not easily noticed. and pass;

As everyone knows, this time, as an envoy of the imperial court's counter-rebellion army, he broke into the enemy camp alone. What he wanted was the current effect - to mobilize the emotions of the generals, including the rebel leader Chen Longxiang, according to his rhythm and emotions. stand up.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Qingzhi slowly put down the hot tea in his hand and said to Chen Longxiang who was sitting at the head of the tent: "Your Highness, can you take a moment to speak?"

"My lord, I am here with the Emperor's concern for His Highness. In this big tent..."

Chen Qingzhi hesitated to speak, but the implication was self-evident - there were many people talking in this large tent, and this was not the place to talk. He hoped that Chen Longxiang would order the rebel generals under his command to retreat.

Of course, this move was also part of Chen Qingzhi's strategy.

Sure enough, when Chen Longxiang heard what Chen Qingzhi said, he subconsciously thought that Chen Qingzhi was disturbing his military morale, and immediately refused decisively.

Chen Longxiang said without thinking: "Mr. Han Guo, in this large tent are all the confidant generals under my command, who are the mainstay of the new rebel army. Brother Emperor, ahem, if Chen Huaian has anything to say to this king, you can Say it here, in front of the generals under my command!”

Eh——

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi pretended to sigh and looked embarrassed.

In fact, I feel happy!

His Royal Highness, Prince of Jin, still suffers from his youth and lack of experience. His strength is rare in the army, but he is extremely immature when it comes to strategy and scheming.

In addition, there are no advisers around to help, so it is simply naive to try to make an enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty just by taking advantage of the fact that the empress dowager of the former dynasty's subjugated country took it for granted!

It is impossible to become an emperor even if you only have the power of bravery!

Chen Qingzhi replied: "Your Highness, the purpose of your Majesty's order to have ministers come to see His Majesty is to tell His Majesty the good news that Zhongshan, who is secretly instigating and inciting brotherly feelings between His Majesty and the Emperor, intends to restore the former dynasty Daxin." Wang Su Muchen was executed on the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Zhaowu in the Tang Dynasty;"

"Uh, all nine clans will be executed!"

After a pause, Chen Qingzhi said, "Your Highness, not only has the Zhongshan King Su Muchen confessed his crime and been executed, but the former Jiujiang King, Changxin King, Chuxiang King and their nine clans who colluded with the Zhongshan King and intended to disrupt the Tang Dynasty also confessed their crimes and were executed on February 15, the second year of Zhaowu;"

"So far, the emperor has completely eliminated the former dynasty's remnants in the Tang Dynasty, cut off any lawless people who tried to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and resolved the misunderstanding between him and Your Highness..."

Chen Qingzhi spoke eloquently and incessantly.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the faces of the rebel leader, the Daxin Regent Chen Longxiang, and the rebel generals in the big tent were becoming more and more gloomy and unnatural.

Chen Qingzhi's words were half true and half false;

The killing of the four kings of the previous dynasty and their nine clans was true, and the so-called resolution of the misunderstanding between the emperor and Jin Wang Chen Longxiang was false;

In fact, Chen Longxiang, the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, raised an army to rebel, and he was under the banner of restoring the previous dynasty. This itself has touched the bottom line and reverse scale of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, and it is definitely not a sentence or two that can resolve the so-called misunderstanding;

Unless, Chen Huaian wants to leave an example for his descendants to imitate the prince's rebellion and bury a hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years.

All this is just one of the strategies of Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Korea.

I only heard Chen Qingzhi continue to say: "Your Highness, the emperor said that between brothers, blood is thicker than water, and broken bones are still connected;"

"As long as Your Highness puts down his weapons now, surrenders to the emperor and admits his mistakes, the family will still be good brothers!"
