Chapter 80: Strategy



The words written on the envelope are quite obscure and difficult to understand. It can be seen that they are written in the languages ​​of ethnic minorities.

"General, you really overestimate me. I am just a seal holder in the inner court. I am not proficient in the writing of this foreign race."

Yun Nishang still didn't open her eyes. She closed her eyes and said, "The content of this letter is simple. It's just a few words (keep the emperor steady and wait for the right opportunity)!"

As if she was afraid that Zhao Ji would not believe it, Yun Nishang also said, "This is what is written in the letter. If you don't believe it, I can leave the letter in your hands. You can find other ministers who know the language of the foreign language to help you translate it!"

"If I, Yun Nishang, tell a lie, it will definitely affect my family..."

Yun Nishang's words made people feel a little heavy, but at the same time they also completely calmed Zhao Ji's heart.

This should be the content of this letter.

If it is about stabilizing the emperor and clearing his name, the four words "waiting for an opportunity to act" really reveal a wolfish ambition.

Even the four words "wait for an opportunity to act" on the envelope were written with greater force than the other words.

"Is this sent by their foreign chief?" Zhao Jimo was holding the letter paper.

"If the source of the information is correct, it is indeed a secret letter written by their chief!"

"And to be honest, I suspect that the third prince from the grassland should also be in this delegation."

Zhao Ji jumped up in surprise when he heard this: "Are you saying there is a prince among them? Even such a person has sneaked into the delegation and is still frequently touring and visiting. I'm afraid that the touring is fake, and the map making is real!"

Yun Nishang looked at Zhao Ji with admiration when she heard this: "I knew that the Chief Seal was a smart man. He figured out the key points here in just a few words!"

In fact, this is not difficult to think about.

Zhao Ji had just received the mission to lead foreign envoys to the capital to discuss trade, when Yun Nishang, a general who had just returned from the frontier, went straight to Zhao Ji's mansion.

Moreover, Yun Nishang could be said to be the person who knew these foreign envoys best. The reason why Yun Nishang did not return home but tested them overnight must be because these foreign gangs had made some small moves.

Yun Nishang tested Zhao Ji last night and from Zhao Ji's calm expression, she inferred that Zhao Ji must have some guesses about these foreign countries.

Otherwise, the look on Zhao Ji's face when he saw Yun Nishang yesterday wouldn't have been so clear.

In fact, Zhao Ji had long felt that there were some problems with these foreign envoys.

Without saying anything else, Princess Hu Rou's anxious look alone doesn't seem like a normal attitude for peace talks.

Instead, it was like inserting a spy into the palace.

At that time, Zhao Ji only had a vague guess, but this guess was confirmed when he saw Yun Nishang come directly to visit his mansion.

Zhao Ji finished a cup of tea, then raised his head and said to Yun Nishang: "Since we know their evil ambitions, do you have any solution? Or any countermeasures?"

Yun Nishang looked at Zhao Ji and suddenly smiled: "The emperor said that the matter should be decided by the Lord Seal Holder. I just reported what I know to the Lord Seal Holder. I'm afraid the Lord Seal Holder will decide how to make the decision!"

This matter was suddenly pushed onto Zhao Ji's shoulders again, but Zhao Ji also knew that Yun Nishang was just asking for his opinion and approach.

To put it bluntly, it was just to test Zhao Ji's attitude.

Zhao Ji was too lazy to beat around the bush with Yun Nishang, so he said directly, "Since they already have their own plan to overthrow the alliance, they must have made many arrangements. I think it's better to just let nature take its course and counterattack."

A hearty laugh rang out, and Yun Nishang couldn't help but clap her hands: "It seems that we think the same thing. On my way back to the capital, I received a message from the steward of the capital, and naturally I knew that these foreign envoys had been wandering around the capital for quite a while."

"According to my understanding of them, they must be trying to figure out the defense deployment of the capital city. I'm afraid that every time they return to the guest room of the tavern, they are trying hard to draw a map in an attempt to find the weakness of the dynasty!"

Yun Nishang's words were actually indirectly explaining why she had received news from the capital before she even arrived there.

Zhao Ji didn't care much about this matter. Although the Yun family had no male heirs now, they were once a noble family after all. If there was no news at all, it would be like being deaf and blind. Zhao Ji really couldn't believe it.

"Even if we draw it, it won't be any use if we modify it directly. Besides, we have to pass the Yun family's cavalry to get here from the northern battlefield. I don't understand what they are thinking when they focus on the capital."

Zhao Ji said this deliberately. Yun Nishang frowned slightly when she heard this: "You don't have to test me, Master Seal. Although the current emperor has suspicions about me and the court has withheld the salaries of my cavalry in the north, as long as my Yun Family Army is in the north, I will not let these barbarians set foot in the Central Plains!"

"The reason why they are patrolling the capital and deploying maps is just a side mission for them. The real mission is probably to get involved with the officials in the capital and destroy us from within!"

"This is not the first time they have used this method. When we were in the northern border town, they once sent a weak woman to sneak into the military camp pretending to be injured. They took advantage of the kindness of the military doctor and tricked a lot of intelligence into passing it on..."

Speaking of this, Yun Nishang's expression became a little serious.

Zhao Ji nodded: "Now that we know their purpose, in addition to being more cautious, we also need to take some measures."

"The general has studied the art of war for so many years, so he naturally understands the principles better than I do!"

Yun Nishang looked at Zhao Ji deeply: "I don't know how the palm seal is going to be dealt with."

Outside the private room, the sound of pipa gradually rose. It was the most famous pipa girl in this restaurant who was playing.

Zhao Ji closed his eyes, listened to the pleasant music and said, "The envoys have been in the capital for quite some time. I guess they have already collected some information. However, their exorbitant trade terms cannot be negotiated in a short time."

"General, why don't you take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on their rear?" After saying this, Zhao Ji opened his eyes and stared at Yun Nishang motionlessly.

Yun Nishang was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Zhao Ji to make such a big deal.

But after thinking for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "If my intelligence is correct and the Third Prince is also in the delegation, then the grassland is actually missing a brave general. You know, the Third Prince is best at deploying troops and charging into battle, and he gave us a headache before."

"The Third Prince is still nominally the leader of the nomadic tribe. If I follow the Master Seal's plan, I have to say that I have at least a 50% chance of success!"
