"I'm sure that among the people who will come to my house to pick up Zhao Xing in a few days, there must be someone who is familiar with Zhao Xing."
The man in white asked, "Are we really going to watch Zhao Xing go to the capital as a hostage?"
The man in fancy clothes smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do that either, because that was his own son.
Military power is really not a good thing.
The man in white thought of the same thing as him: "What if we hand over the military power of the 100,000-man army in the southwest?"
He wants to too!
He has never been one to seek power.
But……
"If I hand over the military power, who will go to the southwest and lead the southwest army to defend against the covetous Nanyou Kingdom?"
Daxia has been established for several generations, but now the court values civil officials over military officials, and there are few good military generals left.
The man in Chinese clothes is scared!
He was afraid that as soon as he handed over the military power, the person who took over the Southwestern Army would be a loser and would be beaten to a pulp by the Nanyou Kingdom in a few short moves.
Daxia values culture over military affairs, but Nanyou Kingdom is different. The emperor of Nanyou Kingdom learned the lesson of the previous generation of emperors who valued culture over military affairs and suffered a disastrous defeat in the war with Daxia. In recent years, he has attached great importance to training generals.
The young emperor of Nanyou Kingdom has always been eyeing Daxia, thinking about avenging the shame of defeat many years ago. If it were not for the bad fortune of Nanyou Kingdom, the bad climate in recent years, and the low grain production, he would have attacked long ago.
"Zhao Xing is smart. I believe he knows what to do in the capital. As long as he behaves himself and I stay in the southwest, that man won't do anything to Zhao Xing."
"Besides, Zhao Xing is not going to the capital alone. Aren't the princes of other vassal kings also going to the capital?"
In the end, the man in Chinese clothes could only comfort himself in this way.
The man in white sighed. How could it be the same? Those princes had at most 10,000 soldiers under their command. How could the importance of those princes be compared with the prince of Chu who had an army of 100,000?
Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times, and that man obviously regarded his cousin as a serious threat.
But he never thought about whether he, a prince whose biological mother died young, could succeed in ascending the throne if his cousin who had no interest in the throne had not supported him?
If it weren't for his outstanding military achievements and the cousin who forced the Nanyou Kingdom to retreat again and again, who was guarding the southwest, why would the Nanyou Kingdom be so cautious and not dare to go north?
If his cousin had not made repeated concessions over the years, would he have been able to sit firmly on the throne?
My cousin has been very humble, but now that man wants to threaten my cousin with his nephew.
This is nothing more than killing the donkey after it has done its job.
