Bai Shouren said with a sad face: "Also, I heard that the Tartars were very satisfied with the woman they sent last time, and they might even want more. I can't stay in this capital for even a single day."
The three of them looked at each other, their initial ecstasy had long been replaced by the reality of embarrassment and great fear.
They found that what they jumped into was not a golden nest, but a gorgeous cage on a sinking ship.
Deep in the palace, Yin Zhao occasionally woke up from his sickbed and asked about the progress of the tobacco shop. He was always told that it would take some time, and he felt more depressed.
The treasury was empty, and the Tartars' extortion seemed like a bottomless pit. He felt like a prisoner being slowly roasted on the fire, desperate and helpless.
......
Tatar camp.
Prince Zuo Xian enjoyed the beauties and wealth presented by Yin Zhao, and became more and more arrogant with complacency.
Not only did Concubine Xiao not resist, but she used all her skills to serve Prince Zuo Xian, making him love her very much.
Within a few days, Concubine Xiao whispered in his ear that the capital was full of wealth and beauties, so why go back to the grassland, it would be better to be the emperor here!
The huge victory, Yin Zhao's weakness, and Concubine Xiao's instigation gave him the ambition to destroy Dayin.
He continued to send small groups of troops to plunder the capital area, further weakening Yin Chao's power and torturing Yin Zhao's nerves.
While writing letters back to the royal court, he exaggerated the prosperity of the Central Plains and the weakness of the Yin Dynasty, and requested the Chanyu to send more troops to support his next "grand plan."
In his opinion, Yinchao was already in his pocket and could be swallowed up at any time.
What he was thinking about now was how to take over the prosperous capital city at the lowest cost and in the most glorious way.
He even began to imagine himself sitting on the dragon throne and receiving the homage of all officials.
In Jinyang, Prince Yinxi of Jin was also in a complicated mood.
While enjoying the vanity brought by Shuozhou's "surrender" and those powerful thunder bombs, he was also closely following the humiliation of the capital and the movements of the Tartars.
"Yin Zhao is finished."
He declared to his trusted advisors, "The royal family's dignity has been shattered, and the people's hearts have been lost. This world is destined to have a new master!"
He became more confident in his banner of "Jingnan".
"Your Highness, now that Shuozhou has been annexed, our worries to the north have lessened. With both the Tartars and Yin Zhao suffering heavy losses in the capital, this is the perfect time for our army to march south and reclaim our territory!"
Some generals actively advocated moving south.
However, some counselors also warned cautiously: "Your Highness, the Tartars are powerful and have great ambitions. Prince Zuo Xian has wicked ambitions and may not simply seek to gain some benefits. If our army rashly marches south, what if we encounter the main force of the Tartars..."
The King of Jin remained silent in silence.
He wanted to take the opportunity to expand, but he was also wary of the Tartars, and even more worried that his hard-earned fortune would be damaged.
Finally, he decided: "Don't go south yet. Send orders to all parties to intensify training and stockpile food and fodder."
"Send another envoy to Shuozhou and urge Han Zhong to send troops to cooperate with our army's operations by next month at the latest. At the very least, keep the Wuliangha in Wuzhou City!
"When the Tartars and Yin Zhao in the capital are almost done with, I will come out to clean up the mess!"
He decided to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage.
Little did he know that Shuozhou, which he regarded as a chess piece, was no longer what he had imagined.
