Chapter 334: A chess game with countries as pieces

History has proven that anyone who can accomplish great things will have some very important assistants around him.

Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang, Liu Bang had Zhang Liang, Qin Shihuang had Li Si, and Jordan had Pippen. As for Wei Changtian, the people he relied on the most before were undoubtedly Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu, and maybe later there would be another Du Chang.

Wow, it’s good to have all the dragon and phoenix together.

Of course, it is hard to say whether Du Chang is capable of taking on the important task at the moment, and we need to observe him for some time.

However, judging from the current situation, even if he cannot be considered a "great talent of all time", he is at least definitely a "talent".

So wonderful!

Sitting in the wobbly carriage, Wei Changtian nodded happily.

With this configuration, wouldn't I have to do nothing myself in the future? On the other hand, Ning Yongnian is now surrounded by people from the Tongzhou Society. What can he use to fight against me? !

Wait Thinking of Ning Yongnian, the smile on Wei Changtian's face slowly froze.

Ever since the former actually ordered You Jia to assassinate him, Wei Changtian officially regarded the Emperor of Daning as his most important enemy at this stage.

Although dealing with an emperor is undoubtedly much more difficult and complicated than dealing with the Liu family, Wei Changtian did not have too many worries before.

But since he found out that Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian were hanging out together, this sense of ease no longer existed.

At the very least, it would be difficult for Wei Changtian to be as calm as before.

Sigh, I don't know what these two are plotting. Have Tongzhouhui found any information about Bai Youheng? He thought to himself for a while, then shook his head, lifted the car curtain, and looked at the mountains and fields on the roadside shrouded in the night.

The continuous mountains in the distance are like solidified waves, extending all the way to the end of the unreachable sky.

Daning, the imperial palace.

Just as Wei Changtian and his party were speeding on the way back to Fengyuan, preparing to continue to complete the "great cause" of beheading Yama Luo, Ning Yongnian was also planning his great cause.

What Wei Changtian had thought before was not wrong. Ning Yongnian did not have many available people around him now. What's more, he didn't even know which ones were "available" and which ones were "unavailable".

However, perhaps because the process of killing Yunlian was too easy, Wei Changtian overlooked the most important thing -

No matter what, Ning Yongnian is a "Son of Heaven" who enjoys great luck.

And it was precisely because of ignoring this matter that Wei Changtian did not notice another abnormality.

Since Ning Yongnian is the son of heaven, the direction of blessing is still the "emperor's way" to rule the world. Then why in the two large-scale wars in Jizhou and Yuanzhou, the Daning court not only did not gain any advantage, but even suffered setbacks everywhere? The Xu family "plotted rebellion" in Jizhou. Although the rebellion has been quelled now, the Xu family stubbornly defended the city of Jizhou for several months. In the end, it was only by relying on the superiority of the imperial army in numbers that they were able to break the city.

And in the end, the "remnants" of the Xu family, including Wei Yanyu, actually escaped and no trace of them has been found to this day.

Let’s talk about the national war that took place in Wonju.

Dafeng invaded with an army of 500,000, while Daning defended Yuanzhou City with an equal number of reinforcements from various places.

This should have been a evenly matched battle, but the huge Yuanzhou City was only defended for 22 days, and even the remaining Liangzhou Army surrendered to the enemy.

Although there were no problems with the defense of the county after the closure, the decision to voluntarily abandon a big city is really puzzling.

Moreover, the Dafeng army has now retreated to Yuanzhou City and remained on hold because of the Yan Luo incident, and the rebellion in Jizhou has also been quelled. This should be a good opportunity for Daning to launch a counterattack.

However, Ning Yongnian still ordered the Daning army not to leave Feng County.

Such a "cowardly" strategic choice does not seem to be a big problem if viewed in isolation.

After all, Daning had suffered two major chaoses in succession, the "Xu family rebellion" and the "Liu-Wei dispute", so it was indeed not advisable to take any rash actions.

But if we consider Ning Yongnian’s identity as the “Son of Heaven”, then all this becomes meaningful.

Perhaps, Ning Yongnian is not "cowardly", but is playing a big game.

Now it seems that nothing has happened, but the "chess game" is developing step by step according to his plan.

As for Wei Changtian, although he couldn't say that he knew nothing about it, at most he could only see a fog.

But what exactly is hidden in this huge fog that shrouds the two countries of Daning and Dafeng? He has not even been able to get a glimpse of it.

“.”

"Your Majesty, I hope you can remember your promise."

Midnight.

At the Dragon Guard headquarters in the Daning Palace, Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian sat opposite each other.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bai. This matter concerns the eternal cause of Daning. I will never break my promise."

Ning Yongnian looked at Bai Youheng and said calmly, "I hope you feel the same way."

“It’s natural.”

Bai Youheng nodded and took the secret letter on the table and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else you want me to say to Her Majesty the Queen?"

"No, I'll show her the letter and she'll know what to do."

"good."

“.”

Deliver a message to the Queen. Ning Yongnian stays with his wife all day, so how could he need Bai Youheng to deliver the message in between?

Therefore, there is only one explanation -

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The queen the two were talking about was not the queen of Daning.

"Your Majesty, now that everything is ready, I will set off now."

Standing up, Bai Youheng said in a deep voice: "We will meet in Yuanzhou City in a month."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Ning Yongnian also stood up and walked out of the dark room with Bai Youheng.

Outside the house, a full hundred dragon guards had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the two men come out, they immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Mr. Bai!"

"Everyone, get up."

Ning Yongnian raised his hand and said slowly, "From now on, you must obey any orders from Master Bai, no matter what they are."

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand!"

"Um."

Ning Yongnian nodded and said nothing more, and Bai Youheng did the same.

The latter just bowed slightly to Ning Yongnian, then took a step forward and walked into the darkness without looking back.

“Wow!”

A hundred dragon guards in black followed him silently, like a bunch of sharp swords. After a few breaths, they completely disappeared from Ning Yongnian's sight.

"emperor."

The figure swayed, and Li Huaizhong suddenly appeared next to Ning Yongnian from nowhere.

"Old Li, what's wrong?"

Ning Yongnian did not look at Li Huaizhong, but still looked in the direction where Bai Youheng and the others left.

"Is there any news from Fengyuan?"

"Your Majesty, not yet."

Li Huaizhong shook his head, bent down and whispered in Ning Yongnian's ear:

"It's the Dragon Bird that's back."
