Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 677

[Chapter 677]

“Master Sato, you must think of a way to save me and the country of Qi.”

Han Zheng begged bitterly in the imperial study room with flickering lights.

For him, perhaps the only thing that can save Qi now is Dongying.

After all, Dongying is as powerful as Beidi and is a deadly enemy with King Yan.

Otherwise, once King Yan learns that Nanliang soldiers and horses have withdrawn, he will definitely attack Lucheng immediately.

At that time, it is difficult to guarantee whether the Xie family, Liang family and Fan family will fight to the death for Qi State and King Yan.

Sato Mahisa chose to remain silent.

Not only Han Zheng, but the retreat of Nanliang Bazhai also shocked him.

The Dongying navy was wiped out by the Yanwang fleet, and he was heartbroken.

It was hoped that the allied army to defeat Yan would work together to fight the King of Yan. Even if the King of Yan could not be eliminated, at least his vitality would be severely injured, so as to avenge the King of Yan’s destruction of the Dongying Navy.

But he didn’t expect such a mistake to happen just when the war was about to break out.

“Waste, what a bunch of waste.” Makoto Sato cursed in his heart.

He spent a lot of manpower and material resources in Dongying to contain King Yan, and even handed over the forging process of the flintlock gun, which led to the allied army attacking Yan, but fell short because of Nanliang.

How can he not be annoyed? How not to hate?

Looking at Han Zheng, he wished he could cut him in two with a knife.

save him? How else could he save him?

Dongying’s navy was wiped out, and Dongying could only rely on merchant ships to sneak in and out of Dasong. What else could he do to save him?

It’s just that, as the chief envoy of Dongpu, he can’t just deal with this matter based on his own likes and dislikes.

Let Japan get the most benefit.

So he let out a long sigh and continued to encourage, “The Dongying navy is destroyed. Even if Dongying has a million troops, it will not be able to reach Qi. I am afraid that we can only rely on you at the moment.”

After a pause, he continued: “But your majesty Don’t worry, even if Qi is defeated, Dongying can give His Majesty a safe and secure rest of his life.”

He was giving Han Zheng some reassurance.

What Han Zheng feared most was that the Qi State would perish, and that he would fall into the hands of King Yan. At that time, he could only die.

And give Han Zheng a way out, maybe Han Zheng can muster the courage to fight against King Yan.

After all, even if they were defeated, the children of his Han family could at least continue to enjoy wealth in Dongpu.

If Han Zheng can trust him, he can continue to stir up the civil strife in Da Song, let Da Song continue to bleed, and weaken King Yan at the same time.

He didn’t want to see the Yan Yan Alliance that Dongying had worked so hard to forge fall apart.

Even if it is irreversible, at least let the remaining clans fight King Yan.

Even if King Yan finally captured Qizhou, he would have to pay the price.

In this way, he will feel more comfortable.

When Han Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

When Mahisa Sato said this, it meant that there was no other way.

In fact, he probably guessed that there was nothing Dongying could do now, but he could only ask Sato Mahisa for help with a glimmer of hope.

Now, he has completely given up.

He was not at all interested in the escape route left for him by Sato Mahisa.

Dongying’s cooperation with him relies heavily on his status and strength in Qi.

If Qi State perishes, even if he escapes to Dongying, the people of Dongying may treat him kindly for a short time, but what about in the long run?

Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest.

Raising his hand, he was about to let Sato Majiu go back.

At this time, an eunuch came outside the imperial study.

Han Zheng asked, “What’s the matter?” The

eunuch bowed to Han Zheng and said, “Your Majesty, there are three Dongying people at the east gate of Lucheng, who seem to have been seriously injured. They want to see Mr. Sato, saying that they have something important to meet.

Han Zheng glanced at Sato Majiu and said, “Take them to the imperial study.” Sato

Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it was before, Han Zheng would definitely avoid this matter, but today he seems to want to listen to this “important matter”.

Obviously, Han Zheng’s attitude towards Dongying has changed.

For this, he was mentally prepared. After all, if he couldn’t defeat King Yan’s fleet for a day, Dongying Qiguo would be useless.

In the final analysis, Dongying and Qi just got what they needed.

Not long after, the three Dongying people were taken to the imperial study by a pair of forbidden soldiers.

After receiving the order of the shogunate, they hid in a merchant ship and smuggled to Qizhou at night.

They dare not approach the coast during the day, and Yanzhou’s warships are constantly patrolling.

Seeing Sato Mahisa, one of them was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Han Zheng, couldn’t help swallowing the words that just came to his mouth, but took out a letter from his arms.

A smile appeared on the corner of Sato Makoto’s mouth, and Han Zheng’s plan to spy on the “important matter” fell through.

Han Zheng didn’t try to snatch it.

Although he no longer attaches as much importance to Dongying as before, but he is not going to grab Sato Mahisa’s letter, maybe there will be places where Dongying can be used in the future.

Makoto Sato read the letter again, and suddenly there was more excitement in his eyes. He murmured: “It’s a great general. If this matter can be facilitated, Dongpu will be safe, and King Yan will be trapped in the Great General.” Praise.”

Turning to Han Zheng, he said, “Your Majesty has a solution.”

“There is a solution?” Han Zheng was startled, overjoyed.

The obsequious smile returned to his face, and he asked, “What can I do?”

Mahisa Sato handed the letter to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng glanced quickly. Although the Dongying characters on it were somewhat different from the Great Song characters, he could generally understand the literal content.

Knowing this so-called “important matter”, his face was pulled down, “This is obviously a good thing for the Liang family, what has it to do with me?”

“Does Your Majesty have a better choice?”

Han Zheng suffocated, and then looked downcast.

Makoto Sato patted Han Zheng on the shoulder and continued, “If this matter can be accomplished, with the support of Dongying, His Majesty will not be wronged. In the future, it will just be a change of title and place.”

Han Zheng struggled, as if As Sato Mahisa said, he really seems to have no other choice.

If Qi State falls, his Han family will become a stray wild dog.

But if Dongpu can really facilitate the “important matter” in the letter, his Han family may still have a chance.

“Will the Liang family agree?” Han Zheng hesitated.

“He has to agree. King Yan captured Qizhou and Ningzhou, and the next step is to destroy his Wu Kingdom. If this happens, it will be of great benefit to his Wu Kingdom.” Sato Mahisa is extremely confident.

Then he said: “It’s just that this matter will take some time to complete. Although Nanliang is gone, you must not run away, otherwise it will ruin the big event.”

Han Zheng nodded slowly, “Master Sato need not say, how could my Han family do that?” Give up the territory of Qi State to King Yan, even if the traitor Nanliang withdraws, I will definitely fight King Yan.”

After pondering for a while, he said: “It’s hard to say whether the Liang family and the Fan family will stay, but I should Can persuade the Xie family soldiers to stay, hmph, my country of Qi is defeated, and it will be his Xie family’s turn next, Xie Duan can’t be in a hurry.”

Sato Majiu showed a satisfied smile, and he said: “That’s very good, next time I’m relying on you two.”
