Chapter 741: Dali, should we save it?

Jingzhou Palace.

Ning Yu sat in the palace all night, quietly waiting for the long-delayed news.

The sky is already bright and clear. Logically speaking, it should have been over there long ago. Even if the matter failed, there should at least be a reply. The strangest thing is that even the person I sent out to inquire about the news has not replied yet. .

"Someone is coming!"

"Your Highness!"

"Go to Qilin Prince's Mansion and Changyang Prince's Mansion, and invite them to come to my house for dinner at noon."

"promise!"

Seeing the servants hurriedly going to summon the message, Ning Yu also suppressed his temper, but the anxiety between his brows was difficult to conceal.

"tread!"

"tread!"

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and Ning Yu immediately raised his eyes and saw the guard sent out to investigate the news rushing forward quickly, saying with a panicked expression: "Your Highness, it's not good."

"Prince Yong's Mansion has just released news that last night the Sword Sect united with the three major martial arts sects to assassinate His Highness Prince Yong. All nine assassins were captured."

"What!"

Ning Yu's face was shocked, and he could only feel his legs shaking uncontrollably. He was shocked and angry and said: "This is impossible. Nine masters can break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den. How can they all be captured alive by the second one?"

"Do you think they are nine wild dogs?"

"This is absolutely impossible. King Yong must have deliberately released false news to confuse my mind and make me expose myself."

"Quickly, again; send someone to invite the third brother and the fourth brother to come to my house for a talk."

"Your Highness!"

The servant who had just run away suddenly came back in a hurry. When he saw Ning Yu, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I just heard the news. The third prince and the fourth prince are now guests at the residence of His Highness Prince Yong!"

"How could...why are the two of them in Prince Yong's Mansion?"

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

"Could it be..." Ning Yu suddenly thought of a possibility and was stunned: "The third and fourth children sold me?"

"It must be, and only in this way can the second child survive the attacks of the nine masters unharmed!"

"Ning'an, Ningshu, good!"

"You are very good, ah - I want to kill you!"

Ning Yu's face was filled with fear and uneasiness at this moment. Now he was not only facing his brother's back stabbing, but what was even more terrifying was that once King Yong knew that those assassins were sent by him last night, would he still have a way to survive?

You know, the entire capital is now in the hands of King Yong!

"Quick, prepare a fast horse for me, I am leaving the city!"

"There are also silver notes, prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver notes for me!"

"No, there is still the king's treasury..."

Ning Yu staggered back and forth, overturning all the tables and chairs to the ground. As a figure like an iron tower arrived, Ning Yu's figure trembled, and he couldn't help but sit down on the ground.

"General Dian...Dian Wei!"

"See His Highness the King of Jingzhou!"

"General, no courtesy...gu!" Ning Yu looked at Dian Wei's burly figure, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said tremblingly: "I wonder why the general came here this time?"

"By the order of my lord, I would like to invite His Highness to come to the house to have a talk!"

"Oh...let me change my clothes!"

"My lord has an order. After seeing His Highness the King of Jingzhou, he will bring it back directly."

"Oh, okay! Then I won't change it."

Ning Yu was in a state of trance like a frightened quail, following Dian Wei blankly like a zombie.

…

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Ning Fan discussed with everyone the situation in the world and how Dayu could seize the opportunity in this troubled world.

"Kong Ming, please tell me first!"

"yes!"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands respectfully, looked around, and then said: "Everyone, now that the situation in the world is very clear, let me start with Yu the Great. After I conquered the southern barbarians, established the western territory, and swallowed up the Eastern Huaihe River, I, the Great Yu, will conquer the southern and eastern parts of the country." There are almost no forces that can threaten my homeland, Dayu."

"Whether it's the Southern Barbarians or Guanshan, I, Dayu, can rest easy in his southern territory!"

"Unless..." Zhuge Liang's eyes were filled with sharpness: "Dali was destroyed, and after Dayan annexed Dali, he entered from Huainan!"

"And Donghuai has now become a vassal of my Dayu. Although there are many rebels in its territory, it is difficult for it to become a phenomenon in a short time!"

"Although there are dangers from Japanese slave pirates on the East China Sea, having General Gong Jin and General Qi in charge is enough to stabilize one side."

"Since then, the greatest threat to me, Dayu, is the northern and western regions!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, and Guo Jia also spoke at the right time: "There is a danger of Xuanjian Pass in the western border, and it is heavily guarded. It will not be easy for Da Yan to break through the pass."

"What Fengxiao said is true. Now, Hu Nu's army is pressing across the northern border and is constantly increasing its troops. The pressure on our northern border is also increasing day by day."

"Besides, our border to the north is long and undefeable. Even if a million troops press on the north, it may not be impregnable."

"Therefore, I, Dayu, must not worry about the threat from the north."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Guo Jia, Chen Gong and others nodded, and Ning Fan spoke at the right time: "I, Dayu, do not have a Great Wall in the northern border, and the border stretches for more than a hundred miles. The war between Hu Nu and I, Dayu, has been completely ignited. "

"Although our army has not been defeated so far, in the face of Hu Nu's army constantly pressing forward, our army can only be forced to shrink its defense line!"

"The king is preparing to personally lead his army northward after being enthroned in the East Palace."

"Lord!"

Jia Xu suddenly bowed slightly and said in a deep voice: "I received news this morning that Dayan's offensive this time is more swift and fierce. On the Dali side, the Lijiang River is about to fall again."

"Hmm..."

Ning Fan also fell into silence. Given the disparity in national strength between Dali and Dayan, if he did not intervene, the demise of Dali would be a foregone conclusion.

But now, Dayu is also in a tight situation on the border. If he sends more troops to support Dali, it will not be as simple as sending more troops.

"Kong Ming, Feng Xiao, Wen He, Wen You, all of you tell me, should Dali be rescued?"

"No!"

Li Ru spoke first, and his tone was also unhesitating.

"Why?"

"My Lord, the current Dali is already riddled with holes. Although the empress has reorganized the court, the national strength is not enough."

"Dayan's cavalry is pushing forward all the way. The north of the Li River will sooner or later fall into Dayan's hands again."

"My Lord, if I, Dayu, save Dali, I will have to fight Dayan directly, which is not good for us."

"Besides, my Lord has built a fortress in Huainan. We only need to transfer the Guanshan Army to Huainan. Even if Dali is destroyed, it will not be that easy for Dayan to enter from the southwest."

"Besides, the Hu slaves in the northern border are constantly increasing their troops. With my current strength, I am afraid that a fierce battle is inevitable. It is better to let Dali use up its last bit of strength to weaken Dayan's national strength!"
