Chapter 341 Good General
"Princess Ronghua, if Southern Yan sends troops to recapture Jiangcheng, who do you think is the most suitable to lead the troops?" Emperor Xuan of Yan walked out slowly from behind the screen with his hands behind his back.
He was only in his early thirties, but his temples were already gray, and his brows were twisted into a "川" shape.
"Your Majesty, you've stumped me. I don't know any good generals in Southern Yan. If you really want me to give a name, it would be Chen Ming'an. Although he has never fought in a war, his father is Duke Dingguo and his mother is Princess Pingyang, so he must have good blood. Besides, he spends all day drinking in Zuixianlou, looking very decadent. It would be better to throw him to the battlefield to gain experience and shed this cowardly skin." Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
Southern Yan is now ruled by civil officials and has no good generals.
In the past, all the good generals supported Princess Pingyang.
Princess Pingyang was disgraced, and her body was messed up by the old lady, a foolish and evil man. The good generals of Southern Yan had long been disheartened and would rather retire and live one day at a time.
Of course, Chen Ming'an has appeal, but he cannot continue the century-long glory of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
It's not that Zhu Huaizhen underestimated Chen Ming'an, but seeing Chen Ming'an's indecisive attitude towards Princess Zhao Lian'er of Xincheng and the old lady, and his inability to protect them, Zhu Huaizhen knew that Chen Ming'an could be a deputy general, but was not suitable to be in command.
"Ming'an, I can't bear to let you go." Emperor Xuan of Yan said slowly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen said "Oh".
So Emperor Xuan of Yan released Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen deliberately passed by Zuixianlou and bought a pot of good wine to prevent Chen Mingan from worrying too much.
The next day, Emperor Xuan of Yan announced to the world that he would send 300,000 Southern Yan troops to encircle and suppress Princess Rongyang.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen just wanted to laugh.
Only the number of troops was mentioned, but the commander-in-chief was not mentioned. I guess the commander-in-chief is nothing special.
However, she still pretended to be flustered and asked Tu Mi to send a box of jewels to Concubine Wu Huifei.
For example, ruby, there are ruby, red diamond, red agate, red coral, spinel, beryl, red tourmaline, red zircon, red jadeite, rhodonite, etc.
For example, there are emeralds, lapis lazuli, green chalcedony, demantoid garnet, green diamond, diopside, epidote, sphalerite, sphalerite, malachite, etc.
Another example is sapphire, blue diamond, tanzanite, topaz, apatite, blue tourmaline, lapis lazuli, amazonite, blue chalcedony, moonstone and so on.
For example, there are yellow sapphires, citrine, scheelite, peridot, yellow jadeite, citrine, gold beads, yellow amber, golden cat's eye, yellow tourmaline, yellow beeswax, etc.
"By the way, Tu Mi, don't listen to "Peach Blossom Fan" recently. Let's listen to "Peony Pavilion" instead. "Peony Pavilion" is my elder sister's favorite opera." Zhu Huaizhen said leisurely.
It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.
Zhu Huaizhen wanted Emperor Xuan of Yan to believe that Princess Ronghua was worried about Princess Rongyang but was powerless to do anything.
Haha, how could Zhu Huaizhen be powerless?
Some small-scale uprising forces in Southern Chu have more or less received favors from Zhu Huaizhen, and it is time to repay her.
Moreover, even if they are slaughtered again and again, the backbone of the people of Nanchu will not be broken.
It was just right, so she, Zhu Huaizhen, could see if Southern Yan still had any capable generals.
