Chapter 664: The Invisible Battlefield (Part 9)
Before nightfall, the two kingdoms of Jue and Ji fought against each other.
Obviously, there is only one way to do this -
That is, Yan Huaiqing ordered the Dajue soldiers to turn their swords around and surround and kill the Ji State soldiers who were stationed next to them.
With nearly 600,000 people against 200,000 people, and it was a surprise attack without any warning.
If this internal fight really breaks out, Dajue will probably not have to pay too much to keep these 200,000 people of Ji State in Tianshan forever.
This also means that the alliance between Dajue and Jiguo, Daqian and Dahui has completely collapsed, which will result in the former no longer having the possibility of regret and having no other choice but to withdraw its troops.
This is Wei Changtian’s real purpose.
Although Yan Huaiqing vowed to withdraw his troops within two days, he was still worried that he would go back on his word after calming down.
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity and make this matter no longer uncertain.
As for Yan Huaiqing's attitude towards this, he could accept the conditions of withdrawing troops, paying compensation, and giving up the teleportation array.
But he was still extremely conflicted about having to "turn the tables" as a token of his allegiance and make enemies with Ji Qian in exchange for Yan Huanwen's death.
"Your Highness."
On the other side, Wei Changtian was not surprised by Yan Huaiqing's reaction, and did not press him step by step. He just said calmly:
"I know this is a bit difficult for you, but you have to know that if you look at it from another perspective, it may not be a bad thing."
"Your army of 600,000 set out with great momentum, vowing to expand the territory, but in the end, not only did you not achieve any results, but you also caused tens of thousands of soldiers to lose their lives in vain."
"Although Yan Huanwen was in office when the war began, the decision to withdraw the troops was made by Your Highness. I'm sure Your Highness knows what the people in the court and the public will say about you when the time comes."
"In this case, Your Highness, why don't you just use this opportunity to shut them up?"
"Ji Guoding is completely defenseless now. As long as Your Highness gives the order, I believe your army will be able to achieve a great victory with overwhelming force."
"By then, how many soldiers will the Ji Kingdom have left? Wouldn't they be easy prey for Dajue?"
"Although Ji State is not big, it is still a country after all, and it is a neighboring country of Dajue."
"With this victory, I think no one in your country will dare to criticize you, Your Highness."
“.”
After saying this, Wei Changtian stopped talking.
Yan Huaiqing also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as Wei Changtian said, if the 200,000 people of Ji State were really surrounded and killed, then annexing Ji State would become a piece of cake.
And with just a little effort, this matter can be transformed from being "forced" to being one's own "great talent and strategy".
So. After bowing to Wei Changtian, Yan Huaiqing did not answer "yes" or "no", but turned to look at Xu Heng who was standing next to him with a look of astonishment.
"General Xu, send a message to the Queen Mother."
"Ask her to summon Mr. Huang to the palace."
“.”
The setting sun had already fallen halfway up the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the dusk spread out into a sunset glow. A few birds stopped for a moment on the eaves of the Zishan Palace, and then flew away towards the afterglow of the sunset.
Yan Huaiqing's biological mother is the current Empress Dajue, and she is also the culprit who caused Su Xiu to be paraded through the streets.
For a woman like this, who would she prefer between Yan Huaiqing and Yan Huanwen?
Wei Changtian didn’t know.
He had no idea who Mr. Huang was.
However, Wei Changtian did not ask any more questions. He just sat in the chair and waited silently.
He sometimes looked at Yan Huaiqing and Xu Heng who were discussing something, and sometimes looked at Tang Chen who was standing with his head down.
The latter has not sat down on the chair since he was frightened and fell off it. He has been standing silently by the wall, and it can be seen that he is very ashamed of his embarrassing appearance just now.
And the black pig with an elephant's trunk never appeared again.
Wei Changtian hasn't figured out how to deal with Tang Chen yet.
After all, the two sides have reached a peace agreement. It would be a bit unreasonable for me to kill someone again. It is possible that Yan Huaiqing would be so angry that he would fight to the death.
But he is a son of heaven after all. Putting aside the 1,500 system points, the "mind-reading" ability alone makes Wei Changtian very salivating.
If you kill Tang Chen, you will most likely gain the ability to “read minds”.
And it is not Li Zimu's skill of identifying people, which relies on personal judgment and is not 100% accurate.
It's mind reading that never goes wrong.
Although such a magical power cannot directly improve Wei Changtian's strength, just like "Locking the Dragon", the role it can play is undoubtedly huge.
So, wait until the chaos breaks out in Tianshan, and then find an excuse to kill him? Or let him go for now and make plans later? Anyway, the teleportation array will be completely in my hands in the future, and I can come to Dajue anytime I want.
Wait until the war is over, then come back and quietly kill Tang Chen. Well, this seems to be safer.

I bought a Qianli Yanbo from the system and used it on Tang Chen.
After doing all this, Wei Changtian was just about to close his eyes and rest for a while, but Chu Xianping's face suddenly changed and he took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his sleeve.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him at once, while Chu Xianping flipped through the "code book" a few times with an expressionless face, then quickly walked to Wei Changtian and whispered something in his ear.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Wei Changtian finally stood up for the first time after entering the room.
"Tell Han Zhao and Liang Zhen to take our people out of Tianshan immediately."
After saying this to Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at Yan Huaiqing, who breathed a sigh of relief. He chuckled and said:
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry that I will take advantage of you. Since you are so straightforward, I will naturally not let you down."
"Within five days, Yan Huanwen will die in public."
"I will arrange for some of your spies to witness this scene with their own eyes. I think the news of his death can be reported back to Dajue immediately."
"Thank you, sir!"
Yan Huaiqing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Don't worry, sir. Once the battle in Tianshan is over, our army will retreat immediately!"
"As for the garrisons around the Purple Mountain Palace, I will also withdraw them immediately!"
"only."
At this point, Yan Huaiqing hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It's just that the matter of compensation involves many details. No, I wonder if you can let Master Chu stay in Dajue for a while, so that we can discuss it carefully."
Hmm? You want Chu Xianping to stay?
Wei Changtian squinted his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't want to discuss compensation, but want to use Master Chu as a hostage?"
“This.”
"Okay, it's not a big deal."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at Chu Xianping: "Brother Chu, then you can stay in Dajue for a while. I will send someone to pick you up after the Dajue army withdraws from Tianshan."
"Yes, sir!"
Chu Xianping had no objection to this and agreed immediately.
Yan Huaiqing, who was standing beside him, was also very tactful and immediately assured him: "Don't worry, Master. I promise that Master Chu will not lose a single hair when he returns!"
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian understood that Yan Huaiqing would not dare to do anything to Chu Xianping.
He first glanced at Li Zimu, who seemed a little worried, and then his gaze fell on Tang Chen.
"Your Highness, since Master Chu has stayed, it should be okay for Master Tang to stay in Liangzhou for a few days, right?"
"It's nature! It's nature!"
How could Yan Huaiqing dare to say "no", especially after Tang Chen's embarrassment just now, he had already become insignificant in his heart.
In this way, Chu Xianping and Tang Chen were left as hostages, one in Dajue and the other in Liangzhou. They would not be exchanged until the Dajue army withdrew from Tianshan.
It is still unknown what the two will experience during this period, but they will definitely not be treated as prisoners.
"call!"
A quarter of an hour later, the black fog gradually closed, and the last blue-armored Shu soldier also disappeared in the teleportation array.
Yan Huaiqing stood a few steps away from the black fog, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed to Chu Xianping beside him, then turned his head to look outside the hall.
As night fell, the dusk fell and the snow-capped mountains and plains were dead silent.
