Chapter 227 Unkind invitation?
Jian Ruocheng?
Nan Yan couldn't help but raise his head. The war was in chaos last night, and I still don't know how Jian Ruocheng was doing.
When Zhu Feng saw her looking at the door, his brows immediately frowned.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Let him come in."
Ye Zheng hurried out, and soon, he took Jian Ruocheng into the tent. As soon as Jian Ruocheng walked in, he saw Nan Yan sitting by the bed for the first time, with a shocked expression on his face.
Zhu Feng's eyes became even colder: "Jian Ruocheng, what's wrong with you?"
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly came to his senses and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, I am here this time because I am reluctant to ask."
"A kind of reluctance? What are you going to do?"
"I want to ask the emperor for an order and go to the Yue State camp."
"What?!"
"What?!"
Nan Yan and Ye Zheng couldn't help but scream at the same time.
Zhu Feng and Jian Ruocheng both looked at them, and Nan Yan came to his senses and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth. Ye Zheng said worriedly: "Mr. Jian, are you going to Yueguo Camp? Do you know we just last night"
"I know."
"Then you dare to go!"
Compared to their nervousness, Jian Ruocheng seemed very calm, with a calm smile on his face, turned to Zhu Feng who frowned and looked at him, and said, "But it was because of last night that the emperor lured the enemy deep into the army and wiped out all the troops they came to attack. After that, he let the Taining Guard disguise himself as soldiers of Yue and sneaked into their camp. It was because of such victory that Weichen dared to go to their military camp."
Zhu Feng looked at him for a while, then said, "I understand what you mean."
“…”
"War and harmony have always been complementary. However, if you do not have the ability to win on the battlefield, then peace talks will be impossible."
“…”
"Only when you are afraid of the enemy on the battlefield and negotiate peace, you will have the confidence and conditions for negotiation."
“…”
"Xiahou Jiu was injured this time and lost two consecutive games, which damaged his vitality. It is best to negotiate peace at this time."
Jian Ruocheng smiled and said, "The emperor is wise."
Zhu Feng said: "But why do I want to negotiate peace with them?"
Jian Ruocheng's eyes slightly condensed.
Zhu Feng said: "I come, I can conquer. Since I have reached this point, why should I negotiate peace with them?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's face had always maintained this faint smile, but at this time, his expression became solemn. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that our Yan Kingdom is not yet time to go to a full-scale war with Yue Kingdom."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think it is not good for us to start a war?"
"It is not good for us and for Vietnam."
"Tell me."
"First of all, the border trade between Yue and our Yan Kingdom is very prosperous. I have estimated it these days, especially their raw silk, which accounts for more than 40% of the country's needs."
Ye Zheng stood beside him and nodded at this time: "Yes."
“…”
"Your Majesty, when you were still in Jinling, you asked Weichen to go out of the palace to investigate. Weichen found that while His Highness Jing reported the situation of the war, the raw silk from Yue Kingdom was still flowing into our country continuously. This was indeed caused by His Highness Jing's collusion with them. However, it can be seen from the side that the raw silk from Yue Kingdom did account for a large part of our country."
“…”
"And yourselves, don't you still want to expand your trade with the Western Regions and maritimes?"
“…”
