But it is the cornerstone of all reforms in the Kingdom of Li.
It is the most dangerous link in the entire reform process.
This is also the part for which he made the most preparations.
Even to this day, he is not sure whether this link can be successful.
Because the key to all this does not lie with the ruthless Wei Huan.
But...Han Zhe.
This man doesn't seem as tough as Wei Huan, but in fact he is the most difficult one to figure out. Even after working together for so many years, Zhao Ji still can't quite figure out Han Zhe's temper.
All that can be done has been done.
The rest is up to fate.
Even if the Wei and Han families really took action in the end.
Zhao may not be afraid!
…
The next three days were like the calm before the storm.
Jiangcheng has been quieter than ever before. Having experienced hundreds of grand gatherings, the princess' wedding, and the expedition ceremony, it seems that nothing has changed in Jiangcheng, and the people still live their lives as usual.
But at nightfall on the third day.
The first battle on the front line quietly began, and even Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away, also entered an atmosphere of preparation for war.
No one expected that Crown Prince Zhao Ning would be so radical. He led a group of light cavalry, broke away from the main force, and without any baggage, rushed to the first fortress on the front line of Di State overnight and carried out a decapitation operation against the Di State's senior officials in the fortress.
It only took two hours to tear a hole in the first line of defense of Di State. As long as the large army arrived and took over the fortress, the progress of this northern expedition could be directly airdropped to 30%.
Everyone knew that the Di Kingdom was severely damaged, but no one expected them to be so vulnerable under Zhao Ning.
When the news reached Jiangcheng, the whole city was overjoyed.
In the Wei Mansion, the clan meeting hall was already full of people.
The communication token was hung in the center of the hall, and opposite was the marshal of Wei who was ready to lead his troops into Zhao at any time.
"Master! When will the troops be dispatched?"
Marshal Wei Tu had a serious expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with suppressed crazy excitement.
They had waited for this day for too long. It was true that Zhao Ning won the first battle, but the fact that they were out of touch with the main force made it more difficult for them to return for reinforcements.
It's simply courting death.
Wei Huan half closed his eyes: "No hurry! How is the situation in Gan State?"
Wei Tu Marshal sneered: "Since Zhao Ning set out on the expedition, the Gan Kingdom has started military exercises on the border. I see that although they have many elite soldiers, many of them are injured. It is hard for them to be a match for the Wei Wuzu!"
“Don’t take it lightly!”
Wei Huan gently rebuked: "Today's Gan army is no longer the Gan army that was controlled by Wei Wuzu in the past."
Marshal Wei Tu nodded: "The master is right!"
Wei Huan smiled calmly, "However, the two countries of Gan and Li have not fought for many years. Gan has bullied the three countries of Yan, Rong and Di for many years, and has gained a lot of prestige! If they dare to act rashly, it would be okay to kill their spirit. When the envoy of the Han family arrives, you will attack together with the Han family!"
"yes!"
"Report!"
At this moment, the Wei Mansion’s housekeeper came hurriedly: “Han Wei from the Han family wants to see you!”
Wei Huan's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Let him in!"
"yes!"
A moment later.
Han Wei strode over and said, "Meet Uncle Wei!"
Wei Huan smiled calmly: "Nephew Han, is the Han family ready to send troops?"
"this……"
Han Wei showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
I was obviously trying very hard to smile again.
But it still brought the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall to freezing point.
Wei Huan's eyes became colder and colder: "Something happened to the Han family?"
Han Wei felt the pressure from the powerful soldier and felt as if he was trapped in a landslide. It seemed as if huge rocks were crushing his body in every direction. Every inch of his muscles was trembling in pain, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
But he still said, "When the prince went to war, many Chu troops gathered at the border of Li and Chu. After weighing the pros and cons, the Han family decided to give up sending troops this time!"
As soon as these words came out.
Countless eyes suddenly gathered on him.
The undisguised murderous intent was like a boning knife, repeatedly scraping against his skin.
Under the severe pain, even tiny drops of blood seeped out of the pores.
"very good!"
Wei Huan suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was a little crazy, he stood up and patted Han Wei on the shoulder: "Chu is good! Your Han family is also good! Nephew Han, your father who is the head of the family has done even better!"
Han Wei pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "My father is the one at the helm of the family, he should be in charge of the overall situation, don't be angry, Mr. Wei!"
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Wei Huan grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Han Wei was horrified and said tremblingly: "Uncle Wei..."
Wei Huan waved his hand: "The message has been received, you can go back!"
"Huh... Thank you, Uncle Wei. I'll take my leave now..."
"Don't worry, leave a tongue."
“…”
"If you break your promise, you should have your tongue removed as an apology! Since you are delivering the message on behalf of your father, you must be prepared to take the punishment on his behalf. I will give you a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, you will not be able to leave the Wei Mansion!"
“…”
…
Chongli Hall.
An old man and his son-in-law played chess until dawn.
The two men sat upright, their expressions extremely solemn.
Fortunately, after playing chess for a whole night, there was no news to disturb the two of them.
No news.
It's the best news.
finally.
The sky outside the palace was tinged with paleness.
