Zhao Guo's ambition to swallow the land of Jin has been around for a long time. Chen Ning had not been entrusted until now. The strength of the two countries is equal. In a year, Jin can be swallowed whole.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Ning came, he thought he was an idiot prince at first, and the news that the spies found was that he was addicted to alcohol and sex, but he didn't expect that Chen Ning on the battlefield would be like a fish in water, and the whole army in Jindi changed completely. It seems that the morale is full of advances, and the land originally occupied by Zhao Guo is slowly taken back, and a stalemate is formed at the border.

Because of this, Zhao Guo was a little jealous of Chen Ning, and gradually had the idea of ​​letting go of this land, but he didn't expect that Chen Ning was called back by the emperor in just over a year, and he seemed to be unable to come back.Zhao Guo judged from time to time that at this time, the Jin land had no owner, and the inside was definitely a mess, and the army in the Jin land had no leader, and their morale was greatly reduced. At this time, they chose to attack the Jin land, not to mention taking the entire Jin land. Half can get a lot of benefits.

The land of Jin has always been rich, but in recent years it has become better than that of Zhao because of the increase in the trade of goods by shipping.In order to win the land of Jin, Zhao Guo has spent countless military power and food for so many years. It is a loss. There is no capital to delay. Either the land of Jin will be taken immediately to subsidize the deficit of the national treasury, or the army can only be withdrawn, five years or ten years There is no longer a vellus hair that can't be moved.

The right time, place and people are almost all occupied by Zhao Guo, how can I hold back at this time.

The courtiers of Jin did worry about this, but the emperor of Zhao State, Emperor Zhou, miscalculated one thing. They thought that Chen Ning was the absolute master of Jin, but they didn't expect that his grasp of the current situation and Most of the arrangements were made by Xie Yan. Except for the generals who were all in the hands of Chen Ning, most of the civil servants who handled affairs regarded Xie Yan as their master.

Chen Ning is not around, Xie Yan can still be the backbone of the Jin land, and even the generals have received Chen Ning's orders in advance, and they respect Xie Yan very much, and they are very calm at this time.

Although Zhao Guo Chen Bing, but did not rush to war, but first to test the Jin land, and then gradually increase the troops, never too close, but not too far away, ready to find out the specific situation of the Jin land at this time, and then strike again seriously injured.

The two sides formed a confrontation situation for a while.

It has been less than half a month for this news to reach Xie Yan's here through layers of flying pigeons and galloping horses. Even if it is spread quickly to the capital, it will take more than half a month to say nothing. By then, the situation may change again.

Xie Yan was not surprised by the fact that Zhao Guo sent troops, and he did some deduction about it. He was not panicked at this time. The most closely guarded, the two military generals who also fought victoriously on the border of Zhao and Jin went to guard the border first. If the situation is not right, there is no need to fight timidly.

What the general feared most was to tell them to hold back and not to act rashly. Fortunately, what they heard was to tell them not to take the initiative to fight, but there was no need to be suppressed, so the two of them took the order and went to the front line energetically.

At the same time, although the emperor had not received any news from the Jin land, the courtiers around him had mentioned this, and the cautious ones advised the emperor to think twice.

Song Guogong also had a judgment on the situation. Although he had never met Chen Ning alone when he came back this time, he had also met him face to face. At first glance, it was obvious that he was not the same person as before.

Thinking about it, there are not many real fools in the royal family. At this time, thinking about it, they have already understood their own situation and have self-knowledge about the current situation.

Chen Ning's talent in military affairs is already obvious. Although the court is still lacking in strategy, judging from Xie Yan's power and skills, it cannot be completed without Chen Ning's permission.This at least shows that Chen Ning is able to tolerate people and has the ability to recognize talents. This is actually a kind of skill, and it cannot be said that it is not the measure of a king.

If Chen Ning was allowed to return to Jin safely, it might not be so easy to let him return to the capital by himself next time, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.At that time, if there is any change in the Jin land, I am afraid it will be related to Xie Yan. At that time, one by one, the emperor will not be counted on Xie Yan's head, and most likely will be counted in the Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of Xie Yan, Song Guogong also wished to get rid of him quickly.For so many years, he has hardly looked at Xie Yan.Xie Yan's mother came from a low family background, and her character was not liked by Song Guogong, so Xie Yan became even more humble in the mansion, coupled with the fact that the Duke's wife held grudges and suppressed her, Song Guogong wanted to treat her poorly, so naturally he would not pay much attention to Xie Yan.

Over time, he didn't know what kind of character his son had, and forgot the hatred that might be hidden in his heart.Originally, he thought that killing two birds with one stone would send Xie Yan away and help the emperor abolish Chen Ning's retreat, but in the end he completely blocked his retreat.

Thinking about it now, before he had the idea of ​​sending Xie Yan to Jin, the many hints and recommendations he received were all related to Xie Yan.Xie Yan had already made plans to go to Jin before he thought of this concubine, and he had already thought of the situation of the Duke's Mansion today.

Thinking through these things, Song Guogong was shocked and cold, and felt that Chen Ning couldn't stay anymore.

Therefore, Song Guogong proposed to the emperor many times to put him under house arrest, or simply kill Chen Ning. Chen Ning must not be released to Jin, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The reason is this, and the emperor knew it in his heart. However, he had lost trust in the Duke's mansion, and he was afraid of Xie Yan, who was still in Jindi, and hesitated to kill Chen Ning immediately. I don't know what's behind it.

On the contrary, Chen Ning got another few days of respite.

In the past few days, the emperor's supervision on him has become more and more strict, and he has begun to restrict his actions, keeping him in the inner courtyard and not allowing him to leave.

Chen Ning gradually became bored, and when he thought of his brother's friendship with him when he was young, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

At that time, it should not be possible to fake, and there is no need to fake it.It's just that the emperor was already the young prince at that time, and he was just an immature nanny. Although he was his own brother, he couldn't threaten the emperor at all. Naturally, the emperor could hug him and get close to him, and give him great favor , let him grow up safely.

Chen Ning's childhood to youth stage was completely opposite to Xie Yan's. He didn't say anything wronged, and he didn't say that he got what he wanted, but he got what he wanted.At that time, he thought that the emperor was favoring him, but now that he thinks about it, he might also intend to flatter him, but the emperor didn't expect that he could still pose a threat to him in Jin.

Chen Ning had nothing to do, so he thought clearly about the inside and outside, and his heart was a little bit cold, and at the same time, he missed Jin more and more.Although there is no one in Prince Jin's mansion who makes him feel close, at least the child in Awen's womb is still in his blood. If he works harder in the future, maybe Awen can be like A Miao to Changqian.

For this, Chen Ning was still full of hope in his heart.

On the other side of the prince, he disapproved of the emperor's increasingly clear plan, and was also worried. He always felt that things would not develop to such a bad point.Several times he wanted to persuade him, but the emperor didn't want to listen to him, and even Chen Ning didn't allow the prince to see him anymore.

In such a situation where there was no other way, the letter written by Xie Yan, the Jindi, finally arrived in the capital after exhausting several horses, and reached the ears of the emperor and important ministers.

When Xie Yan wrote the letter, the troops on both sides were still facing each other, but he exaggerated a few strokes and made the situation much more serious.His letter arrived almost at the same time as the news from the spies from the emperor's side. The spies' knowledge of the situation on the battlefield was always slower than Xie Yan's, and it was much more vague. Adding up the source, not to mention anything else, the crisis at the border is obvious, and the emperor is not allowed to question Xie Yan.

After the prince knew the news, he became more and more anxious, and advised the emperor again, asking him to let Chen Ning go back to quell the war on the border of Jin, and don't let Zhao Guo take advantage of it.

The emperor was also very bored. The border of Jin land was originally restless, and he didn't expect that Chen Ning would be able to flatten it once he went, so he gave the rich land of Jin land to Chen Ning without hesitation. Chen Ning, he is indeed not completely sure that the land of Jin will be stabilized again.At that time, there will be continuous border wars.

However, if he let Chen Ning go back like this, the emperor worried even more, he was indecisive for a while, unable to make a decision.

But the prince felt that there was no need to hesitate at this time, and letting Chen Ning go back was justified.

The emperor didn't let him see Chen Ning, so the prince simply led someone in.

Trapped in the inner courtyard, Chen Ning didn't know what had happened to the situation outside. Suddenly, he was startled when he saw the prince with a knife. What are you doing?"

The crown prince had already made up his mind to let Chen Ning go, and hastily explained Zhao Guo's dispatch of troops, then stared at Chen Ning and asked him, "Does the emperor have the intention of plotting rebellion?"

This question surprised Chen Ning, and he couldn't help laughing, he thought that his character was not good enough for the Chen family, but he didn't expect the prince to become more reckless and affectionate.Thinking about it now, at the beginning Changqian asked him to find a way to meet the prince when he came back. I am afraid that he has also thoroughly understood the character of the prince.

It's just that Chen Ning didn't smile on his face, he said: "I just want to live in Jin safely for the rest of my life."

This is true, if the emperor does not force him, Chen Ning will not resist being a courtier in Jin.What he said also left room for himself, if one day he could not go on safely in Jindi, it would not be considered a breach of the promise at this time.

The prince nodded, "Then I will let you go."

Two of the guards outside had been killed by the prince. At this time, Chen Ning followed him out without any hindrance. When Kuaima arrived at the gate of the city, the prince forced the guards to open the gate with his waist card, and sent Chen Ning about After twenty miles, I turned back.

And when the emperor knew the news, it was too late, Chen Ning had already gone south by water, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.
