Chu Tianxiao's hidden chess move not only played a role in the present, but also had a far-reaching impact on the future Shenzhou war... Of course, no one could see through the chess move in the future. At the moment, Emperor Zhao only saw his ruthless chess move for the current situation...
But that's enough.
It’s enough for Emperor Zhao to lock on to his target!
"I am the true emperor and can summon strangers to help me. Although there have been explosions before, none of them are as strange as today! Something must have gone wrong with Zhao Du's thing. The one who disturbed it must be... Chu, Tian, Xiao!"
Although he couldn't figure out exactly what Tian Xiao had done to cause the talent pool to explode, Zhao Shaodi, as the true emperor of the summoning flow, was still able to see some clues based on his familiarity with the golden finger...
"If this boy is not eliminated, there will never be peace in the Great Zhao!"
With a change of mind, Emperor Zhao stared at the Zhao capital on the map and said in a serious tone: "Old Master, quickly draft a ceasefire agreement! I will lead my troops back to the capital, recover it, and kill Chu Tianxiao!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Mo clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, a ceasefire is inevitable, and returning is also inevitable, but we should not go to Zhaodu..."
"Why is this!" Emperor Zhao slowly clenched his fist and said hatefully.
Mo Xiang shook his head and said, "Recently, news of General Zhou Ying's death has arrived. This shows that Zhao has completely fallen into the hands of the enemy and cannot be shaken... Moreover, it is not appropriate for our Great Zhao to go to war with the Great Zhou at this time, regardless of whether it is the initial defeat of the army's morale or..."
“Is it possible that I have lost many soldiers and generals, my children have died, and I have even been forced to cease fire with those filthy Tang bandits, and yet… I can’t do anything?” Although Emperor Zhao knew that Prime Minister Mo’s words were unpleasant to the ear, he could not help it at this moment, and waved his hand to interrupt, “I am the king! The king of the Great Zhao! The true emperor! How can I accept this humiliation and do nothing? When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. This time, I must capture that guy alive, cut him into pieces, and throw his body in the wild for vultures to eat!”
"I will never be at peace until this vengeance is avenged!"
After saying this, Mo Xiang sighed deeply. As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the minister will die. Although he didn't know why Emperor Zhao suddenly showed such strong hatred towards Chu Tianxiao, he knew that Emperor Zhao could no longer persuade him... So, he didn't say anything more, but turned to point to a certain place on the map...
"Your Majesty, please calm down your wrath for a moment and listen to what I have to say... Even if you want to take revenge, you should not march to Zhaodu, but... go here!"
Seeing this, Emperor Zhao's anger subsided, and he was slightly stunned and asked: "This place? Jindu?"
"Yes, it is the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Jindu!" After Prime Minister Mo finished speaking, Emperor Zhao was immediately puzzled: "Old Master, what does this mean?"
"First, Jindu of the Zhou Dynasty was once the enemy's capital, which has a great symbolic significance. If it can be conquered, it will be able to ease your majesty's current embarrassing situation and win back the hearts of the people. Second, thirty miles south of here, there is a place called 'Jieting', which is the throat of the Zhou Dynasty's advance this time! If Jindu is taken, Jieting will have no strategic location to defend and will surely fall into the hands of our Great Zhao! At that time, the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops entering the southeastern border will be like a turtle in a jar, with no way forward or backward! Our Great Zhao can turn the tide, control the food supply route, and lock down these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops! By then, in order to avoid a full-scale war, the Zhou Dynasty is very likely to negotiate with our Great Zhao and give up the southeastern border to 'redeem' its own troops! Even if they insist, the Qin and other forces will definitely put pressure on them - if they have the opportunity, I think they will never want the Zhou Dynasty's troops to swallow the southeast and further expand their strength..."
After a pause, a strange light flashed in Mo Xiang's eyes: "Third... This place, like our Great Zhao Zhaodu, is in an unprecedented state of emptiness! And the 'culprit' who caused this scene, I have found out from many sources, it is Chu Tianxiao!"
"If he hadn't ordered the Zhou Dynasty's powerful armies to pour into the southeast of our Great Zhao, then the garrison here wouldn't have come out in full force, leaving it so empty! If the situation really develops to the point of negotiation... Chu Tianxiao will definitely bear all the blame!"
"When the time comes, even if Emperor Zhou trusts him, he must shed tears and execute him, otherwise it will not be enough to appease the public anger and restore the government!"
After this analysis, Emperor Zhao took a long breath and placed one hand on the word "Jindu", scratching it tightly...
"Old Master, Jindu is not as good as Zhaodu."
Although his heart was burning, Emperor Zhao did not act rashly. Instead, he looked at Prime Minister Mo and expressed his concerns: "Even if the situation will be completely opened after the conquest, but... the moon in the well and the flower in the mirror, if you can't eat them, they are equal to zero!"
"That's right." Mo Xiang nodded and said, "Even if you send your Young Emperor's Army to launch a surprise attack, the chance of breaking the city is only 10%... But Your Majesty, have you forgotten how the capital of Zhao was broken?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "The old man is saying..."
Mo Xiang nodded, then raised his head slightly: "Earlier, I told Your Majesty that Chu Tianxiao had made such a great contribution, and there would be people who would be more anxious than us... Now, it's time to use this hidden chess piece..."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao pondered for a long time and said, "This behavior is like treason... Will they really do it?"
After hearing this, Mo Xiang also fell silent. After a moment, he slowly nodded: "The 'Great Prince' that I know... is definitely not someone who will sit and wait for death. Some of his subordinates are loyal and willing to die for him..."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao fell into deep thought again, and then he heard Prime Minister Mo say: "Now that things have come to this, if we want to turn the tide, this is the only way. Although it is dangerous, if we succeed... our Great Zhao will be able to turn danger into safety..."
"That is all I have to say. Your Majesty... please make a decision now."
Hearing the voice, a gleam of light flashed in Emperor Zhao's eyes. The next moment, he suddenly drew out the golden sword from his waist and chopped off a corner of the table fiercely, his eyes as sharp as torches!
"I will personally lead the Young Emperor's army to fight and turn the tide!"
…
…
Two flowers bloom, each representing one thing.
While Zhao Shaodi was preparing for a final fight to turn the tide, Chu Tianxiao was not doing nothing.
"Hmm... I heard that Emperor Zhao lost miserably this time."
The result of the battle between Tang and Zhao was already known to everyone in China. For this reason, Chu Tianxiao specially summoned the leaders of the defeated army and held a military meeting.
"Hehe, it's more than miserable! This time, the young emperor Zhao was defeated so pitifully... In Luo'er's opinion, he was hit hard and it will be difficult for him to rise again." Feng Luo'er laughed, "Young Master, the war has come to this point, and the Great Zhao should not have the strength to fight back. Can we... leave Zhaodu and go to the capital of the Great Zhou? Luo'er has wanted to go and see it for a long time, what do you think, Brother Xueyan?"
Hearing this, Xue Yan said coldly: "Just follow the young master's orders, you are the one who is meddling."
"Hmm." Feng Luo'er was immediately dejected upon hearing this. Chu Tianxiao could only continue to hold his forehead and shook his head, then said: "Luo'er is right. We should leave Zhaodu, but not to Kyoto, but to another place..."
