Chapter 236: I’m afraid there will be no peace in South Vietnam
Nan Yan turned to look at him: "What's the matter?"
"The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities. Is this what you told the Emperor?"
"Yes. Yesterday, I spoke to the Emperor about whether you should go to the Yue camp to negotiate peace."
She smiled awkwardly: "In front of adults, of course I am showing off my skills."
"No," Jian Ruocheng said with a gentle smile, "This is a wise saying."
“…”
"The best military operation is to destroy the enemy's plans, the next best is to destroy his alliances... the next best is to destroy his alliances..."
He repeated it silently several times, then looked at Nan Yan, who was frowning, and smiled gently, "Actually, you don't have to worry. I don't think the emperor has any intention of handing Li Bushan over."
“…”
Nan Yan also noticed this.
But the next question is—
Do I really have to hand myself over?
She couldn't express those words so clearly because they sounded "shameless", but putting aside the interests of the country, who in the world is not afraid of death?
She is afraid of death, and that's right!
Thinking of this, I felt more and more conflicted and uncomfortable.
Seeing her unconsciously revealing a look of grievance, Jian Ruocheng comforted her softly, "You really don't have to worry. I think we can find a solution to this problem."
"That being said," Ye Zheng said worriedly, "I need to reply to Xiahou Jiu before noon tomorrow."
“…”
"Can you imagine it?"
“…”
“Even if you think of it, can you do it?”
His questions caused everyone to fall silent for a moment.
After a long while, Ye Zheng said in a deep voice, "I still remember that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he made a great wish to make our Great Yan Kingdom, especially our Changping Dynasty, prosperous and powerful, far surpassing the Han and Tang dynasties."
“…”
"I didn't expect that not long after, his own brother would cause him such trouble."
“…”
"Why……"
When Nan Yan heard his words, her heart trembled again.
Ye Zheng said softly, "What I'm most worried about now is that the Emperor will change his mind about peace talks. If he really decides to use military force against Yue, I'm afraid there will be no peace in South Vietnam."
The setting sun completely disappeared in the sky, the earth slowly fell into darkness, and a shadow fell on everyone's heart.
When Nan Yan returned to the tent, Li Bushang immediately rushed over to her, asking her with concern where she had been, and complaining that she was running around despite being injured.
Nan Yan noticed that the child had become much more lively in the past two days. Before, she thought he was like a wolf, but now, she just felt that he was like a little wolfdog, wild, but docile towards her.
How could we hand him over to Xiahou Jiu?
Feeling the melancholy in Nan Yan's eyes, Li Bu Shang asked, "Nan Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"
Nan Yan hurriedly put on a smile to cover it up.
"nothing."
"Well, come and have dinner. I've been waiting for you and the food is getting cold."
"good."
Nan Yan was pulled by him to the table, and the two of them finished their meal happily.
Soon, it was pitch black outside.
After the two men washed up, Nan Yan let him go to bed first, and she sat by a dim candlelight until late at night.
She thought a lot, but what she thought about the most was Ye Zheng’s last words -
"What I'm most worried about now is that the Emperor will change his mind about peace talks. If he really uses military force against Yue, I'm afraid there will be no peace in South Vietnam."
