Early the next morning, the long-closed gate of Jidu opened a narrow side door with a creaking sound, and a group of more than ten messengers walked out of it.
This group of people walked for a while and came to the outside of the military camp under the guard of a group of imperial soldiers. They showed their envoy's seal and announced that they wanted to see the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.
Among the large tents in the military camp, this tent is located in the center of the military camp. It is also the largest in area and the most luxuriously decorated. This is the residence of His Majesty the Emperor, the current commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army!
At this moment, Zhong Yu was worried about his ministers in the palace, discussing the next strategy, how to deal with the Yan Kingdom, and when to retreat!
"Report to your majesty, the envoy from the State of Yan has come, saying that he wants to see the commander of the army. I wonder how your majesty will respond?" Zhong Yu and others who were discussing were suddenly interrupted by a report from the guard, and they all looked up. Xiangxingyuanmen.
"Oh, the envoy from the Yan Kingdom is here. It seems that my visit to Beijing yesterday had an effect? King Yan, this timid guy, can't bear the pressure I bring!" chuckled. , Zhong Yu said happily, he couldn't help but be happy when he heard the good news.
"Your Majesty is a saint. I have long expected that King Yan is as timid as a mouse, so he can achieve such miraculous results. Your Majesty's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and your majesty and strategy are unmatched by my ministers!" Hearing that his Majesty the Emperor was so happy, The frowns that had been frowned before were relieved. Many ministers would not miss this opportunity and quickly flattered him.
"Okay, you don't have to flatter me anymore, guards, hurry up and tell the Yan envoy to come in!" Zhong Yu stopped the flattery of these ministers and said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, all my dear friends, don't expose the news that I am the Emperor of Yuguo. Just say that I am the prince of Yuguo, the brother of Emperor Yuguo, His Highness Prince Jing!" The guard was about to go out when Zhong Yu hurriedly said I remembered that I planned to travel around the Central Plains, travel around, check the reality of the world, and found that it was the plan of various schools of thought, so how could I expose the news that I was the emperor now
If it really spreads, all the forces in the world will compete with each other, trying to control themselves, and then use them to control Yuguo. By then, it will definitely not be possible for them to travel by themselves.
So he quickly gave instructions to the many guards and ministers, lest they accidentally reveal his identity and make his plan to go out for fun impossible.
"Yes, I must be careful not to expose His Majesty's identity. You are not His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom, but His Majesty the Emperor's brother, His Majesty Prince Jing!" Many ministers and guards all listened to the order and said.
"Well, it's good that you understand, that's good, and you have to be considerate of me... Oh no, it's Gu's hard work!" Zhong Yu said it himself, but almost missed it and quickly changed his words.
A moment later, the envoy of the Yan State entered the tent. This envoy was none other than Yan Yi, the general of the Yan State whom Zhong Yu had met in Feixue Pavilion before.
Yan Yi walked straight into the big tent, quickly bowed his head and spoke loudly in a respectful tone. "The envoy of the State of Yan, General Yan Yi, pays homage to the commander-in-chief of the State!"
"You don't have to be like this, Ambassador Yan, please get up quickly!" Zhong Yu didn't have much intention to embarrass him. He had been fighting for such a long time and wanted to end the war as soon as possible.
The mobilization of 300,000 troops and the migration of hundreds of thousands of Yan people cost countless amounts of food and salary. With the current material reserves of Yuguo, after experiencing the consumption of Donghu and Jizi Korea in the two wars, it can no longer hold on for long.
Hearing the voice in front of him, Yan Yi knew that this was the commander of this 300,000-strong army. Just listening to the voice, it seemed as if he had heard it somewhere before.
However, after receiving the order, Yan Yi quickly stood up and looked up at the coach in front of him. After seeing it, he was shocked. Isn't this person the same person he saw in Feixue Pavilion before? The two also had a conflict.
"You... you... you're not..." Seeing Zhong Yu sitting in the main seat, Yan Yi raised his left hand and pointed at him and said intermittently.
"How dare you treat His Royal Highness Prince Jing so rudely? It's extremely rude. Why don't you step down and apologize, otherwise, huh!" Seeing Yan Yi's surprised look, Zhong Yu just said Smiling and saying nothing. However, Jia Xu, who was joining the army under him, quickly stepped forward and cooperated with him in this play.
"Yes, the guilty minister Yan Yi offended His Highness Prince Jing, and I hope His Highness Prince Jing will forgive me!" Being reminded by Jia Xu, Yan Yi immediately knew how rude his actions just now were, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.
But Yan Yi was muttering in his heart, hadn't he seen this person before in Feixue Pavilion? He and Yan Chunjun almost lost their lives in his hands. Moreover, he also obtained the seal tiger talisman from himself and Yan Chunjun to mobilize the Yuguo army, which resulted in the current situation of the Yuguo.
"General Yan, you don't have to be like this. Get up quickly. The lonely king doesn't care too much about blaming some small things!" Zhong Yu smiled, and something happened in his heart.
"Yes, your Majesty is magnanimous, and the Yan State is humble and respectful!" Hearing the words of the man in front of him, Yan Yi said quickly as if he didn't care about his rudeness just now.
"I wonder if His Highness Prince Jing is the commander of this army? Can he decide on major exchanges between Yan and Yu?" After a moment of hesitation, Yan Yi decided to ask. I just heard these people say that the person in front of me is His Royal Highness Prince Jing of Yuguo. Could it be that he is the master of Yuguo? But why wasn't he called King Yu, but King Jing
At this time, among the seven kingdoms in the world, the monarchs of each country were called kings instead of emperors or emperors. So it is normal to have such doubts. After all, looking at the world, no country has ever had two kings.
"Bold, the person in front of me is the prince younger brother of the Emperor of the Yu Kingdom. He is in charge of the 100,000-strong army of the Yu Kingdom, and now he is also in charge of the 300,000-strong army of Defeating Yan. He has made great achievements in the Yu Kingdom, holds a high position of authority, and has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Why can't I be the master?" Jia Xu spoke up again at the right time and scolded Yan Yi.
"Emperor... His Majesty the Emperor? This... this..." Yan Yi pointed at Zhong Yu again and asked tremblingly.
The supreme ruler of the country in front of him is not the king, but the emperor. He had only heard of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Qin and Qi proclaimed themselves emperors, but they were threatened by all the countries in the world and had to revoke their imperial titles. The supreme master of the people in front of him dared to call him emperor directly. He was really arrogant and bold.
"Hmph! You have no idea. The territory of my imperial kingdom is tens of thousands of miles away. I have 200,000 brave men, 400,000 men who dare to fight, and another 400,000 men who can control strings under my command. With such a vast territory and a million-strong army, I can call myself an emperor. What's the big deal!" Jia Xu snorted coldly and said disdainfully to Yan Yi.
