Chapter 451 Meticulous Planning
Emperor Xiao Wu was also startled when he saw Shen Huaichen.
Is this his uncle?
He didn't remember what his uncle looked like, but his aunt and cousin both said it was him, so it must be!
"Uncle, what's going on...?" Emperor Xiao Wu was a little confused.
The grass in front of my uncle's grave is already three feet tall, isn't it?
How come now...
"Your Majesty, this is a plan devised by me and Duke Changsheng, specifically targeting the Northern Hu."
"Everything is for the sake of Da Yu!" After Shen Huaichen finished his grand salute, he immediately took out a handwritten letter from Chang Sheng Gong from his pocket.
Emperor Xiao Wu opened it and saw that it was the handwriting of the Duke of Changsheng...
Then I started reading carefully.
In his letter, Chang Shenggong wrote about how Shen Huaichen was forced to venture deep into the Northern Hu territory.
How did they obtain the defense maps of the thirteen border cities of the Northern Hu?
Then how did he fake his death to fool those people and sneak into the border town...?
Chang Sheng Gong wrote it in great detail.
Emperor Xiao Wu also looked at it carefully.
Everything in it matched what he knew.
It turns out that turning the border town into a trading border town was my uncle's plan.
It was also thanks to my uncle that Leigu City became a garrison for the Weiyuan Army.
The later division of the twelve border cities into the Northern Hu territory was also thanks to my uncle's efforts...
In other words, the fact that Beihu has become what it is today is all thanks to my uncle's secret planning.
Even the fact that Changsheng Gong rushed to the aid of the emperor from the north after his ascension to the throne was because his uncle had foreseen it...
Emperor Xiao Wu found it increasingly unbelievable.
It's incredible that one person, living in anonymity in a border town, could accomplish so much...
No wonder my father didn't believe that my uncle had died in the Northern Barbarians!
"Uncle, why didn't you tell Kyoto back then?!"
"My aunt has suffered so much because of you," Emperor Xiao Wu said softly.
Shen Huaichen gently shook his head.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't want to say it."
At that time, I could guess that there must be someone in the capital colluding with the Northern Hu, and that it must be someone in the court.
This matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Therefore, this matter came to Chang Sheng Gong's attention. "Shen Huaichen said solemnly.
Emperor Xiao Wu understood: colluding with the Northern Hu...
Didn't Marquis Wuding get involved?
And Duke Anguo, he must also be involved in this matter.
If the news of my uncle's death had reached us back then, those two guys would definitely have passed it on to Bei Hu.
At that time, my uncle was truly in dire straits.
Thinking that Shen Huaichen had been in the north for so many years and didn't even know his own children, Emperor Xiao Wu felt a pang of sadness.
"Uncle, does Father... know about this?" Emperor Xiao Wu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Shen Huaichen knew that this was not a good question to answer.
Even a small mistake could be a fatal question.
"The late emperor... should know, right? But I didn't tell him."
However, on one of my birthdays, the late emperor sent two jars of Daughter's Red wine to Duke Changsheng.
That was the wine that I and the late emperor used to drink often.
"The Duke of Changsheng doesn't drink Nu'erhong wine, so I drank those two jars of Nu'erhong wine later." Shen Huaichen said, recalling the events.
He didn't make any definitive statements; ambiguity is best!
That way you won't have anywhere to look it up.
Deceiving the emperor? Impossible!
He was a great hero who sacrificed his family for the safety of Chongqing!
You can't deny it.
Otherwise, all that time and effort I put into communicating with Changsheng Gong would have been wasted...
Emperor Xiao Wu sighed upon hearing this.
"Father must have known! But he must have been quite happy at the time."
"Uncle, you've worked so hard all these years!" Emperor Xiao Wu said earnestly.
Shen Huaichen bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
"Your Majesty, this is all what I should do."
Suppressing the Northern Hu is not only the lifelong wish of the imperial family of Dayu, but also the wish of your humble servants.
"Now that the North is at peace, Your Majesty should also be able to understand a matter that has been on your mind," Shen Huaichen said solemnly.
Emperor Xiao Wu nodded, and then talked to Shen Huaichen about what needed to be done in the northern region.
Shen Huaichen said a lot.
The development of the northern regions, the development of border cities, and how to use border cities to contain the northern nomadic tribes...
He thoroughly analyzed both military and commercial aspects with Emperor Xiao Wu.
The more Emperor Xiao Wu spoke, the more he believed Shen Huaichen was a talented individual.
As expected of the God of War of the North, Shen Huaichen not only has profound military expertise, but also has a thorough understanding of the development of border cities.
After Shen Huaichen's explanation, Emperor Xiao Wu gained a new understanding of the northern regions and border cities.
The border town used to be a barrier for the northern barbarians.
The border town of today... will become a barrier for the Great Yu.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty only needs to know about my affairs. Everything must be kept secret. As for the border city… I still need to return.” Shen Huaichen said.
Emperor Xiao Wu was a little disappointed; he had wanted to keep his uncle with him!
Grandpa had always wanted to retire, and now...
"Is Uncle going back to the North next?" Emperor Xiaowu asked.
"I'm not going back for now! I want to take your aunt out for a walk first!" Shen Huaichen said.
Emperor Xiao Wu...
He also wanted to go out together...
