Chapter 408 Hard to Choose
He received advice from the Zhao family and had a clear view of the situation, but due to his status, he could not confess to the Queen Mother and Emperor Qian.
After all, he has not returned to the capital for countless years. How can he tell if the Chen family and the Zhang family are going to rebel?
The Queen Mother would be able to understand if she thought about it carefully. It was the point made by the Zhao family.
The Zhao family has been at odds with the Chen and Zhang families for years. When he said that the Chen and Zhang families wanted to rebel, not only would the Queen Mother not believe him, but she would become suspicious of him.
Therefore, among everyone in the royal family, he was the most anxious.
"I am preparing for war. The envoys I sent to Daliang and Shang should be able to stabilize the situation. Chen Tian, who is guarding the East, has also stated that he will fight Dayu to the end. But those in Cangyuan County The soldiers and horses should react."
At the end, Lin Xiaofan sighed.
The chief general of Cangyuan County is a member of the Zhang family. During the previous battle in Qingzhou, the seven-day journey was dragged out for more than twenty days. It can be seen that the other party is only interested in profit and has no intention of serving the country.
"If the defenders of Cangyuan County rebel and attack the capital, then Daqian Country will be in danger. Even if Chen Tian defends Dayu in the first wave of attacks and we clear out the defenders of Canghai County, the situation is unclear. Whether we can defend it next In the capital, it all depends on how determined the Sirius Kingdom is."
Dayu's attack will come soon, and the national strength of Daqian Kingdom has been declining sharply for many years, and he has no confidence in holding on.
"Then, is there a way to crack it?"
Kang Hong asked hesitantly.
"If we can capture all the Zhang family and Chen family in the capital, and at the same time, while the Dayu Kingdom has not yet freed up its hands, we can gather troops and horses to attack Cangyuan County and take back the power of the 40,000 defenders, this battle will be much easier. .”
If you just want to do this, you must replace Da Qianhuang.
"But in that case, many official positions in the court will be vacant."
Kang Hong said.
The Zhang family and the Chen family were large families, and many members of the family served as officials in the imperial court.
If they are all captured, the court will lose one-third of its officials.
When the time comes for the candidates to hand over the work, it will take a lot of energy and effort.
"How can you care about these things when life and death are at stake now?"
Lin Xiaofan was also a little anxious and lowered his voice and asked:
"Brother Kang Hong, if you don't do something, our entire Daqian will be in dire straits. Do you want to see the lives of Daqian in ruins?"
His eyes were fixed on Kang Hong, wanting to see what the other person's reaction would be.
Kang Hong is the most important part of his plan.
If you are not decisive enough at the critical moment, the entire plan will be disrupted and everyone may be killed.
It was a matter of life and death, and Lin Xiaofan had to deal with it carefully.
If that didn't work, he would have to take a backup plan as soon as possible and find a way to move his family and friends to Datang.
I heard that the king of the Tang Dynasty was quite wise. With the knowledge he had and the money he had, he could hope to get an official position.
Just have to start over again.
"Brother Kang Hong, if you are unwilling, then find a way to go to Datang as soon as possible. After all, you can't do much if you stay here."
Thinking about it, Lin Xiaofan said again.
Kang Hong smiled bitterly.
He has always been upright and it would be difficult for him to steal the throne from his brother.
But if he didn't do it, not only his brother would die, but his mother would also die, and countless people in the Daqian Kingdom would die. The foundation left by the ancestors of the Kang family would be destroyed, and he would have no face to face them.
"Let's wait and see."
After a long time, Kang Hong spoke.
He couldn't do anything to his own brother.
"Ah."
Lin Xiaofan didn't try to persuade him any more, but a trace of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.
But he didn't blame Kang Hong. If it were him, it would be difficult for him to kill his brother.
Now that Dayu has not yet freed up his hands, he will observe Adjani for a while. If there is no chance, he will prepare to go to Datang.
The two discussed the marriage between him and Fengsheng again, and Kang Hong left first.
Fengsheng and Lin Xiaofan were the only two people left in the room.
"Brother Lin, my father is an upright man, but he is a bit stubborn, so..."
Fengsheng wanted to explain a few words to Kang Hong, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaofan:
"This matter is inherently difficult to decide. I don't blame my father-in-law. Fengsheng, if Da Gan cannot hold on, are you willing to go to Datang with me?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Hearing this, Fengsheng was stunned for a moment.
She originally thought that Lin Xiaofan said he was going to Datang just to make Kang Hong realize the seriousness of the matter.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually preparing for this.
Even Lin Xiaofan doesn't seem to have the confidence he used to have. Only then did she realize how serious the situation before her was.
You must know that when Lin Xiaofan faced an army of 200,000 people on the Qingzhou battlefield, he never thought of escaping.
Going to Datang with Lin Xiaofan meant leaving behind everything in Daqian, the countless people of Daqian, and her relatives and friends.
It was also difficult for her to make up her mind on this matter.
"Brother Lin, is this battle really so difficult? There were only 30,000 people fighting in Qingzhou before, but we all defended it. Now that we have so many soldiers and generals, why should we be afraid of him?"
Fengsheng asked still unwilling to give up.
"This battle is different from the Qingzhou Battle. Although the Qingzhou Battle is quite different in terms of numbers, the morale is high and everyone is united, and both Jianfeng and Zhao Yue are willing to listen to my arrangements."
"But now, who knows how many agents are in the capital? Who knows whether Emperor Daqian will surrender? Who knows whether the army will rebel?"
"Anyway, if the battle starts and the Emperor doesn't change, I will prepare to escape."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Then, I'll think about it again."
Fengsheng thought for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.
But she understood that once Lin Xiaofan left, Daqian's hope would be completely shattered.
"Yes, maybe the situation is not as bad as thought."
Lin Xiaofan smiled bitterly and did not talk about this matter again.
"How about I take you around this palace?"
Fengsheng opened his mouth to invite.
"it is good."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. With the beauty as his companion, he also wanted to see the royal palace of Daqian.
The two of them walked on the road in the palace, admiring the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
Occasionally, a few maids and eunuchs would pass by. When they saw Fengsheng coming, they would bow down and salute.
"Would it be bad for your reputation if we come together so blatantly?"
Lin Xiaofan smiled when he saw the two maids whispering.
"What are you afraid of? My grandmother has approved our marriage. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will shoot him."
Fengsheng's eyes became sharp. She was not someone who was easily bullied. Anyone who dared to bully her from childhood to the palace would have to lie in bed for ten and a half days.
Before she sneaked out of the capital, she even killed two dandy boys who bullied the people and acted recklessly.
Perhaps feeling too empty, Fengsheng opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Lin, when I was six years old, my grandfather died of a serious illness and the new Emperor Daqian came to the throne. Since then, my parents have left Daqian Kingdom and may not come back even once a year."
