Chapter 304 Report
This is the recipe for pickled fish, but unfortunately I don’t have any chili peppers now, only one pepper, so I can only try to see if I can make it.
"The first one is more reliable. Although it uses a lot of oil, it is crispy and fragrant, so you won't get tired of it so quickly. You can make it a few times to see how it works. If it's suitable, make it. The second one is just a trial. I don't know what it will turn out like."
Cui Jing frowned and thought deeply, then agreed: "The first one can indeed be tried, but the second one needs to be tried first. I will go talk to General Shen first."
Cui Jing was thinking about his three meals a day, so he left in a hurry and ignored the two people.
Cui Si was about to sigh when Yun Gang's voice rang out from outside. "Master, someone from Piaomiao City has sent a letter."
A letter from Piaomiao City?
Yan Xingchuan looked at Cui Si.
Cui Si said, "You go ahead. I'm staying with my third brother. I'll have dinner with him later. I don't know how the fish fried by the fireman tastes. I have to try it."
"Okay, I'll come back later."
Yan Xingchuan turned and left, returned to his residence, and met the person who came to deliver the letter.
"Greetings, my lord." The messenger bowed and presented the letter. "Yesterday, an urgent report from Xiangzhou arrived in Piaomiao City. After reading it, the military advisor wrote a letter and asked me to take it along with the urgent report and deliver it to my lord."
Urgent news from Xiangzhou?
The expressions of everyone present changed.
Yan Xingchuan also frowned: "Could it be that something happened in Xiangzhou? Is Prince Xiling attacking?"
"The military advisor didn't tell me, so I have no way of knowing."
Someone took the letter, opened it and checked it carefully to make sure there was no problem before delivering it to Yan Xingchuan.
Yan Xingchuan opened the letter and quickly scanned it. His expression gradually darkened. When the report was checked and presented to him, he opened it and his expression became even more frighteningly cold.
He exerted force with his fingers and crumpled the letters and reports into a ball.
"Chen Sui!" Yan Xingchuan tilted his head slightly, his mouth corners tightly pressed together, his eyes bloodshot, and he was obviously on the verge of a rage.
"What a good Chen Sui." Yan Xingchuan laughed in anger, but there was no smile on his face.
He asked the visitor, "What else did the military advisor say?"
"The military advisor only said that the Lord will make the final decision."
"You've worked hard. Go down and rest first." Yan Xingchuan raised his hand, "Yun Gang, send General Qian down to rest."
"I will take my leave."
.
Yun Gang sent General Qian to rest, and when he came back, he happened to come with Shen Mo.
The room was cold and silent at this time. Both of them shuddered as they stepped in.
A teacup fell to the ground, and tea spilled all over the floor. No one dared to clean it up. Yan Xingchuan sat on a chair in the room, exuding coldness and murderous intent.
The setting sun shone in from the door and fell on his feet, but he seemed to be in a cold and dark place. The darkness that enveloped him could not even be dispelled by the sunlight.
Shen Mo's heart was beating wildly and he felt very uneasy.
He swallowed and stepped forward cautiously: "My Lord, what happened in Xiangzhou?"
Yan Xingchuan looked up and saw that it was him. He came back to his senses a little, sneered, and threw the balled-up report to Chen Mo: "Look at this brother of yours. He is really capable. He even dares to be my master. He can easily take Nanhuai into his pocket for me."
Shen Mo felt puzzled. If Nan Huai was taken into his possession, that would not be a good thing. Why should he be angry?
But when he unfolded the report, his face changed and was full of disbelief.
"...No, is he crazy?!" After a long while, Shen Mo came back to his senses and found his own voice.
Shen Sui said in his report that he had talked with the King of Nanhuai. If Northern Yan sent troops to join forces with the King of Nanhuai to capture Xiling together, the King of Nanhuai would surrender to Northern Yan, submit to him, and offer the three states of Nanhuai.
If it were just these things, it would indeed be a good thing for Northern Yan. With the three states of Nanhuai, the four states of Xiling, and the ten states of Northern Yan, Northern Yan would have seventeen states in the future, which would account for two-thirds of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Conquering the world is just around the corner.
But during the negotiation between the two, the King of Nanhuai also put forward a condition: he wanted to marry the Queen of Beiyan, Ji Cui Liuniang.
Shen Sui, representing Northern Yan, has agreed to this request.
This memorial was to inform Lord Yan Xingchuan to arrange for Cui Si to marry over and reach this treaty. He would then send troops to join forces with the King of Nanhuai to capture Xiling and help Northern Yan recover the seven states of Nanhuai and Xiling.
Shangguan Tong was in a bad mood when he received the report. He didn't dare to agree or disagree, so he could only send someone to deliver the report to Yan Xingchuan.
"He's really crazy." Shen Mo gritted his teeth, "Master, this matter cannot be agreed to."
"Let alone the fact that Wang Ji is the one the Lord wants to marry, she is the Queen of Beiyan. How can she marry someone else? Even if she is not the Queen, Beiyan has no reason to sacrifice a woman!"
"Besides, where does this death put the Cui family?"
"Back then, the Cui family was a vassal of Northern Yan and offered Pingzhou. Yuanzhou, Yunzhou, Laizhou, Miaozhou, and even Xiangzhou were all taken with the Cui family's help. If Northern Yan were to force the Cui family to marry off their daughters and sacrifice them for Northern Yan, it would simply be..."
"It's simply shameless!"
"The King of Nanhuai is nearly fifty years old, and he already has many wives and concubines, children, and even his grandsons have wives, and he even has great-grandchildren. Princess Wang is so young, wouldn't her life be ruined if she married him?"
Shen Mo was so anxious that his face turned red, and he was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head.
"He is really crazy to do such a thing!"
Crazy, crazy, really crazy.
Even if Chen Sui wasn't crazy, Chen Mo would be mad.
"My Lord, please arrange for someone to take over Rong'an Town. I will go to Xiangzhou and personally talk to the King of Nanhuai. If he insists, I don't mind sending troops to attack Nanhuai."
"It's best not to let anyone else know about this. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out later, it will be disadvantageous to Princess Wang."
Sacrificing one person in exchange for seven states is such a win-win situation. As long as they are not family members, there will definitely be people in the world who disagree.
After all, people die in war.
If Northern Yan does not agree, those who die in the future attack on Nanhuai and Xiling will probably be blamed on Cui Si by the world.
You will be cursed for all eternity.
Yan Xingchuan listened to Shen Mo's scolding for a while and calmed down a little.
After a long moment, he said, "You stay here first. I'll go back to Piaomiao City and discuss things with the military advisor. If necessary, I'll send you there. Considering the heavy losses that would result from a war, you should go talk to the King of Nanhuai again. If he insists, then we'll send troops to Nanhuai."
In this matter, Shen Sui is not innocent, and neither is the King of Nanhuai.
He once kidnapped Cui Si's relatives and promised the Cui family that "when he ascended the throne, he would marry Cui Si as his queen."
Both of them knew that Cui Si was the person he was going to marry, but one dared to mention it and the other dared to agree. They were simply challenging the emperor.
Damn them all!
