Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 379

[Chapter 379 Poisonous Plan]

Tie Mu Pagoda walked in Shan Yu’s mansion with his head held high.

As the son of Beidi Khan, he naturally wants to show the majesty of Beidi people in front of Xiliang people.

Let Xiliang know his position.

“Welcome to Iron Wood Tower.” Enter the main hall.

Tie Mu Ta looked at Murong Hao, he didn’t salute, but still stood with his head raised.

The Xiliang generals were silent, no one dared to reprimand Tiemu Tower for his rudeness.

This is completely different from the time when he mocked the envoy.

“Thank you.” Tiemu Tower said.

Murong Hao suddenly felt that he was neither sitting nor standing.

Coughing, he said: “King Tiemuta came a little late, otherwise you would have seen how I humiliated the envoy just now.”

Tiemuta finally smiled, and he said: “This is true! It’s a pity, but, the envoy came here to praise the third prince?”

Murong Hao felt even more uneasy.

He was even more convinced that Tie Mu Pagoda was here for the third prince Zhao Mu.

Otherwise, how would the Tiemu Tower know about this?

“Exactly, this matter actually spread to Han Court?” Murong Hao asked.

Tiemuta nodded.

After Xiliang surrendered, the trade between Beidi merchants and Xiliang became frequent.

Naturally, Beidi’s eyeliner was among these merchants.

But despite this, Bei has been monitoring Xiliang’s movements.

If there is any movement in Xiliang, they can respond in time.

Eight days ago, news of the capture of Prince Dasong in Xiliang reached Beidi.

His father Khan immediately summoned him and ordered him to go to Xiliang. He used the prince of Dasong to anger Dasong and force Dasong to attack Xiliang on his own initiative, so as to severely damage Dasong’s army this autumn and lay the foundation for taking control of the Central Plains.

“To be honest, I came here for this purpose this time.” Tiemu Tower said seriously.

Murong Hao was slightly angry, but he tried his best to hide it, keeping a smile on his face, “I wonder if Khan has any advice?”

“Khan ordered you to send the third prince back to Dasong.” Tie Muta said .

“What!” Murong Hao suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

“You heard me right.” A sneer appeared on the corner of Tie Muta’s mouth.

His father said that Xiliang would definitely use the third prince to exchange benefits with Da Song.

Xiliang won the praise of Qinzhou and Yongzhou. If it gets more benefits, it will be difficult to control.

If Xiliang sends back the third prince of Dasong, Xiliang’s calculation will come to nothing.

Of course, they wouldn’t just be there to guard against Xiliang.

This time he will ask Xiliang to do something on the prince, so as to completely anger Emperor Da Song and force Da Song to take the initiative to send troops to attack.

In this way, they can annihilate the Dasong army in Qinzhou together with Xiliang, and at the same time, they can take Yanguan in the east and kill the king of Yan.

Dasong is bound to perish!

“Such an important bargaining chip, why give it back for nothing.” Murong Hao couldn’t hold back his anger anymore.

Tie Mu Tower didn’t care about Murong Hao’s attitude towards him at all.

He hooked his hands, intending to let the eunuch next to Murong Hao come over.

The eunuch looked at Murong Hao, saw Murong Hao nodding, and hurried to the side of Tie Mu Pagoda.

Tie Muta whispered something in his ear.

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then went back and relayed what Tiemuta had said.

After listening, Murong Hao was stunned for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the iron tower with admiration in his eyes, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes dissipated invisible and turned into respect.

“Xiliang Shanyu, this is Khan’s order, not here to discuss with you.” Seeing Murong Hao’s hesitation, Tie Muta said dissatisfiedly.

At the same time, he glanced at the Xiliang general in the hall.

They all avoided his gaze.

“I promise, after Dasong is destroyed, I only hope that Khan will hand over Jincheng to my Xiliang jurisdiction.” Murong Hao said immediately, his face was full of flattery, this time Dasong is really going to be finished.

He underestimated the viciousness of Beidi’s people, and he didn’t expect such a sinister idea to come up.

“It’s very simple.” Tie Muta nodded, “It’s settled like this. I will wait in Wuwei until the third prince Dasong returns before leaving.”

…

Yan County.

Zhao Xu’s life is comfortable and busy.

The three schools became four. In addition to giving lectures in the three schools, he also spared time to go to Zhou Yi’s Naval Academy every day.

Because the teaching materials were still being compiled, he first asked Zhou Yi to teach the students how to read, and he himself popularized simple navigation knowledge to the students.

For example, how to use the sun to identify direction at sea.

The structure of a sailing warship and how to handle a soft sail.

In addition to giving lectures day after day, he just inspected the infrastructure projects being carried out by the government office, and urged the Bingzhang Division and the production in Nanfang District.

The soldiers and battle divisions are naturally bayonets, mortars and so on.

Nanfang District sells artillery, armor, and weapons.

There are people from both the imperial court and powerful clans who stay in Yancheng and often urge them to do so.

Every time the artillery was demolished, it was immediately pulled away by them in the order assigned.

In addition, he cooperated with Qu Sheng to establish a production line for three acids and two bases.

Of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the capture of the third prince.

News came from Jinling that Dou Wei had not gone to court for several days.

This time he is not pretending to be sick, but really sick.

And Zhao Heng took the opportunity to ask Mi Yan to act as prime minister.

However, because the powerful officials did not buy Mi Yan’s battle at all, the court was very chaotic.

“According to the date, Dasong’s envoys should arrive in Wuwei. I don’t know what conditions Xiliang will ask for.” In the

bedroom, Zhao Xu was lying on the rocking chair, and Luan Er held his shoulders while talking.

In front of him is a basin of hidden ice in winter, exuding white mist, bringing him a bit of coolness.

“People in Xiliang are greedy, and the conditions they put forward must be harsh. I’m afraid it will take months to bargain.” Zhao Xu ate cucumbers.

The season has entered July, summer is at its peak, and it is very hot outside.

That’s the only way to make him feel better.

At this time, he misses the air conditioner all the time.

After wandering around all afternoon, Feng Luan was turned upside down at night.

The next day, Zhao Xu continued his lecture.

Another ten days passed, and Tsui Hark came to the palace with a serious face.

“Your Highness, something big is going to happen this time.” Xu Hark’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he didn’t know whether it was from heat or nervousness.

“What’s going on?” Zhao Xu was full of doubts, the only major event recently was the capture of the third prince.

It is unlikely that Beidi will call.

In such a hot weather, the war horses will die of heat when they run.

“The third prince was sent back to Dasong by Xiliang.” Xu Ke said.

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Zhao Xu frowned.

But why did Xiliang suddenly send him back?

He was about to ask, but Tsui Hark showed an expression as if he was holding his urine, and finally said something in his ear.

“What!” Zhao Xu stood up suddenly, “Is the news accurate?”

“Accurate! After Xiliang soldiers sent the third prince back, he yelled outside the customs, saying that the third prince has no heir since.” After a

pause, he said : “Besides, when the third prince was sent back, he couldn’t walk, he was lying down all the time, and the place was also full of blood. Also, a few days ago, Beidi Khan’s eldest son Tiemuta appeared in Wuwei, and it was like this after that.”

“This is a great shame and humiliation to Da Song. No matter what happens, the emperor will not tolerate it, and the Dou family will not tolerate it either. I’m afraid there will be a big battle in the northwest of Da Song.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

He didn’t expect Xiliang to eunuch the third prince and send him back.

Based on the information provided by Tsui Hark, I’m afraid this is a trap set by Beidi.
