Chapter 135 The squadron returned to Jin and the Southern Expedition was defeated for the first time
Haas, the elder of the three dynasties of the Uighur Khanate and Prime Minister, entered the situation personally, and at the end of his life, he added the final spark to the matter of Princess Bijia Yue Qiluo and the pro-Jin king Chen Huaian.
The wily Haas had already seen that Jin King Chen Huaian was bound to have some concerns and reservations about marrying Princess Viga Yue Qiluo.
In order for Princess Viga to ascend to the throne smoothly and become the empress of the new dynasty, it would definitely not be enough to just rely on a piece of credential submitted by Yingwu Khan as a bargaining chip.
Therefore, Haas, who is good at understanding human nature, came up with this strategy.
Only by letting Jin King Chen Huaian owe Princess Bijia's kindness in front of the thirty-six kings of the Western Regions can the engagement between the two proceed smoothly.
And what kind of kindness can make Jin Wang Chen Huaian "commit yourself to him"?
Obviously, in Old Haas's understanding, there is only life-saving grace.
Because of this, it can be explained why the first arrow of a well-prepared and close assassin who assassinated Jin Wang Chen Huaian in the main hall would miss the target.
Because the assassin did not appear to kill Chen Huaian.
The first arrow was deliberately missed, clearly to remind Princess Viga Yue Qiluo.
The old prime minister, Hass, had already calculated that with the character of Princess Viga Yue Qiluo, she would risk her own life to block the second arrow for Jin King Chen Huaian.
In the end, the entire assassination process was exactly the same as Haas had deduced.
I have to admit that Hass, the prime minister who has gone through three dynasties of the Uighur Khanate, is indeed a wise and courageous man.
The entire assassination plan was interconnected and watertight.
Even when he proposed the idea of "returning to peace and surrender" at the court, he had been planning to promote this matter.
As Haas committed suicide by hanging from the beam, and the last letter was delayed and swallowed by Yingwu Khan, the truth of this matter may never be revealed again.
Only after Yingwu Khan Mo Yanchui shouted out the words with great sorrow: I, Mo Yanchui, and the descendants of Yaoluo Ge family will never forget this love!
For Chen Huaian, when the assassin was captured by the court, his mind calmed down and became rational.
With a little analysis, it's not hard to figure out the answer.
The assassin who assassinated Jin King Chen Huaian at the court could not have been ordered by any of the kings of the thirty-five countries in the Western Regions who came to submit the letter of surrender.
At first, Chen Huaian had the same idea as the brave general Pang Xianchu. He thought that some people in the envoy group were unwilling to see the prosperity of the unified era where all the ethnic groups along the Silk Road in the Western Regions were as close as one family.
Then he ordered the assassin to infiltrate the envoy group and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him.
But he quickly realized that if the assassin's goal was to assassinate him, why not use it when he had plenty of opportunities before?
Why did he wait until Princess Viga Yue Qiluo was walking with him before he chose to take action?
Moreover, at a distance of less than twenty steps, not to mention a well-trained assassin, even an ordinary soldier selected from the army's crossbow camp can easily hit the target with one arrow.
After clearing his thoughts, Chen Huaian concluded that the assassin must have other ulterior secrets behind his assassination.
That's why he would sit in the palace hall and let the dinner continue calmly and calmly until it ended smoothly.
Later, when Chen Huaian learned from Xiao Po that the man behind his assassination was actually Hass, the prime minister of the Uighur Khanate, the layers of fog lingering in his heart were suddenly blown away.
In this way, all the doubts about the assassination can be explained.
After returning to the camp, Chen Huaian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "This old prime minister, Hass, has worked so hard to get me to marry Princess Viga Yue Qiluo!"
"I don't hesitate to put myself in the game, but I also want to win the game between the Uighur Khanate and this king."
"This move is so good!"
As he spoke, Chen Huaian looked at the map of the Western Region countries on the desk and continued: "It seems that I have underestimated this old Hass."
"Well, at least my king's expedition to the Western Regions can ensure that there will be no major wars and disasters on the Silk Road in the next fifty years. It is considered a worthwhile trip."
"As for the affairs of future generations, let them handle it themselves!"
"Report——"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the general Lan Yu, the brave general Pang Xianchu, and the chief general Fan Wuji of Tiefu Tu request to see you!"
At this time, the messenger's announcement suddenly sounded outside the big tent.
In the big tent, Chen Huaian said without raising his head: "Let them come in!"
Soon, Lan Yu, Pang Xianchu, and Fan Wuji walked in from outside the tent, knelt down to Chen Huaian, and then lined up on the left and right of the tent.
Lan Yu was the first to speak: "Your Highness, I just learned from the Jinwu Guards that the mastermind behind the assassination of Your Highness is actually Hass, the Prime Minister of the Uighur Khanate!"
"Your Highness, how about the general leading his troops and massacring the mansion of Prime Minister Huihe in order to frighten these barbarians from the Western Regions?"
Fan Wuji also echoed: "Your Highness, what General Lan said is absolutely true!"
"The assassination of His Highness the King of Jin at the imperial court clearly shows that His Highness and our 200,000 Dragon City army were not taken seriously. This old man, Haas, should be cut into pieces and executed with thousands of swords!"
"It's a pity that this old man knew that he could not escape his crime, so he hanged himself in advance!"
After a pause, Fan Wuji said: "The general thinks that only by massacring Prime Minister He's mansion this time can we achieve the purpose of killing chickens to scare the monkeys. Let these barbarians from the Western Regions see that this is the fate of those who dare to assassinate His Highness the King of Jin!"
Lan Yu and Fan Wuji shared the same hatred and were filled with righteous indignation.
Only the brave general Pang Xianchu stood there with a dull expression and said nothing.
This aroused Chen Huaian's curiosity and asked: "Pang Xianchu, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Pang Xianchu took a step forward, cupped his hands and replied: "Go back to your highness, the general will think that he will massacre all the unarmed women, children, old and young in the palace of Prime Minister Huihe;"
"Not only will it not achieve the purpose of shocking the monkeys by killing chickens, but it will also leave the image of King Jin as a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant who kills innocent people indiscriminately in the hearts of the kings of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions."
"It is inconsistent with His Highness's consistent image of benevolence, justice and love for the people since he went to the Western Regions."
Pang Xianchu said calmly: "Your Highness, I will think that since Haas, the mastermind behind the scenes, has confessed and been punished, this matter should end here!"
"There is no need to ruin the great situation that His Highness has finally conquered the countries in the Western Region because of a Haas."
Hahaha!
Chen Huaian, who finally heard the satisfactory answer, couldn't help laughing loudly.
He said to the people in the big tent: "Lanyu, Fan Wuji, do you hear me? This matter will be handled according to Pang Xianchu's opinion and stop here."
"As for the assassin who is still imprisoned by the Jinwu Guards, give him a happy life!"
As he spoke, Chen Huaian paced back and forth in front of several people, and continued: "It has been more than April since my king set out to conquer the Western Regions. Now that all the countries in the Western Regions have returned to Jin, the land Silk Road is open again;"
"I have decided that the army will return to Jin and march southward with all its strength!"
"Everyone of you, please go prepare yourself and wait for my king's order to set off!"
"The general will get the order!"
The next day.
Just when a touch of fish belly white appeared in the east, Jin King Chen Huaian, who was still sleeping, suddenly received an eight hundred mile urgent call from Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of the Longcheng Army and Horses and General of the Southern Expedition.
"Report——"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the Dragon City Southern Expedition Army, Deputy Marshal of the Soldiers and Horses, Chang Yun is in urgent need of reporting——"
Hearing this, Chen Huaian hurriedly got off the bed, rushed to the door of the tent in three steps and two steps, and took the military report sent by Chang Yuchun from the panting and dusty messenger.
The core content of the letter is just one: Longcheng’s southern army was defeated in Mozhou, and the number of those killed and captured totaled more than 50,000!
Buzz!
In an instant, Chen Huaian's head exploded with a buzz!
