Chapter 743 God Helps Me
"Thank you, Your Highness, the King of Chu, for your trust!"
Jia Yu didn't expect Chu Ning to adopt his opinion without hesitation, which surprised him.
Compared with Liu Shouren and Deng Hongwen, Jia Yu was a surrenderer.
Logically speaking, Chu Ning would definitely be on guard against someone like him.
But judging from Chu Ning's current performance, he has no intention of guarding against him at all.
Chu Ning looked at Jia Yu who was a little surprised, and said calmly: "Don't be surprised, I have always been a person who I don't use when I doubt him, and I don't doubt him when I use him."
"Since I have decided to let you take charge of the Royal Guards, I naturally trust you. Once this matter is completed, you can use the power of the Royal Guards to borrow your family to come here."
After saying that, Chu Ning stood up and said in a deep voice: "Now, focus on dealing with the affairs of Kyoto City. I will write a letter to Han Xing and Di Wenyao!"
Liu Shouren and the other two bowed and left in unison.
Soon, Chu Ning wrote the letter and sent someone to deliver it.
At the same time, news spread in the city that Chu Ning received an imperial decree and was stripped of his post as general, and that Chu Ning wrote a letter to Han Xin and Di Wenyao to return to Beijing.
For a moment, everyone in the city was in an uproar.
Some felt sorry for Chu Ning, some watched the fight from the sidelines, and some were extremely excited.
The fourth prince's residence.
A loud laugh came from the living room.
"Hahahaha, good, that's great, Chu Ning has finally been stripped of his position as general!"
In the living room.
The fourth prince Chu Ying said excitedly: "In this way, he will never be able to mobilize troops again in the future."
Liu Yunqing, who was standing in the hall, smiled slightly: "Not only that, Chu Ning also personally wrote letters to Han Xin and Di Wenyao, asking them to return to Beijing."
"As long as these two return to the capital, His Majesty will definitely choose someone else to replace them. By then, Bingzhou and Zhao will also be slowly controlled by the court."
"Your Highness, this is an opportunity. If you can seize the command of Bingzhou's 100,000 troops and the position of Bingzhou governor, it will be of great use to you in the future."
This matter was widely spread in the city. The Fourth Prince had many eyes and ears, so of course he couldn't be unaware of it.
The positions of Bingzhou Governor and Bingzhou Military Authority are crucial. If they can be obtained, one can control Bingzhou and Zhao State.
As long as we master these two areas, we will definitely be able to increase our strength in the future.
Even the prince would not be their opponent by then.
The more he thought about it, the more excited the fourth prince was. He raised his lips slightly with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "I will definitely get these two positions!"
"However, what I am curious about is why Chu Ning personally wrote a letter to recall these two people, and even the news was leaked?"
Logically speaking, given Chu Ning's personality, being stripped of his position as general was already a big loss.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to recall Han Xing and Di Wenyao.
This is undoubtedly cutting off both arms!
If he were Chu Ning, he would never do this.
But Liu Yunqing laughed and said, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince is overthinking. The King of Chu must have known that he could not resist the imperial decree, and he was stripped of his position as the general, so he wanted to recall these two people.
Firstly, he wanted to use this opportunity to let the two men explain the matter of the spoils.
Secondly, if these two people return to Beijing, it will also increase his strength in Kyoto City, so that we can be cautious.
What's more, if these two people do not come back, it would be disobeying the imperial edict, and Your Majesty would have even more reason to arrest them.
For both moral and legal reasons, and for both public and private reasons, he had no choice but to recall these two people."
After this analysis, the Fourth Prince nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, that makes sense, hahahaha!
However, I cannot do this alone, I must involve the Crown Prince as well.
Come to think of it, He Peng's letter to the prince should have arrived. Has the prince taken any action?"
Even if one person wins against Chu Ning, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
But if the prince's power is added, it will be different. The two of them are enough to suppress Chu Ning.
This time, Chu Ning must be ruined and completely overthrown.
As long as Chu Ning falls, they will be able to get their hands on Bingzhou and Zhao State.
"The prince had already set out when he received the news from He Peng!"
Liu Yunqing sneered, "The extermination of the He family this time has completely angered the prince. He even brought back 30,000 Sizhou soldiers and horses."
The fourth prince's eyes lit up: "Sizhou has just recruited 50,000 new soldiers, and the prince actually brought back 30,000. It seems that he really wants to use this incident to completely take down Chu Ning!"
Bringing 30,000 people into the capital is definitely not just for fun, it must be a fight.
Chu Ning doesn't have many soldiers around him now, and he will surely be defeated if he takes action.
"Once the Crown Prince and the King of Chu start a fight, we can reap the benefits!"
Liu Yunqing chuckled: "I think He Peng must have known that the King of Chu has recalled Han Xing and Di Wenyao, and he will definitely inform the Crown Prince.
We just need to wait and watch the show, and then we can take action when the critical moment comes!"
The fourth prince grinned: "Very good, let's do it this way!"
"However, for safety reasons, we still need to announce Chu Ning's recall of those two people, and have the Crown Prince return to the capital as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Liu Yunqing responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Two days later, on the official road thirty miles outside Kyoto.
A huge team is moving slowly forward.
The leader, wearing a purple dragon robe and riding a tall horse, looked very majestic. Who else could it be but Crown Prince Chu Wei!
After receiving He Peng's handwritten letter and learning that the He family had been wiped out, the prince was furious and immediately dispatched troops back to Beijing.
Chu Ning killed his trusted family, so of course he couldn't let it go. Otherwise, who would be willing to work for him in the future?
Therefore, this time he must confront Chu Ning and make Chu Ning pay the price.
Just as the team was moving forward, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A cavalryman is riding over!
"Greetings, Your Highness the King of Chu, this is an urgent letter sent by Lord He!" He respectfully handed over a letter.
The prince frowned, reached out to take the letter and took a look at it. His originally gloomy face suddenly turned into a smile.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha, okay, okay!”
The prince laughed wildly and said, "Father has stripped Chu Ning of his position as general and even recalled Han Xing and Di Wenyao. This way, my chances of winning are even greater!"
Deputy General Xiao Anming spoke up at this time: "Your Highness, considering the character of the King of Chu, I'm afraid he won't easily recall those two people.
Bingzhou and Zhao are too important to the King of Chu. Even if he disobeys orders, he will not let these two people come back. "
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, another cavalryman came riding in to report.
"Your Highness, the news that the King of Chu wrote to General Han Xing and Lord Di Wenyao is spreading like wildfire in the city. Please return to the capital as soon as possible to report on your duties!"
When this was said, the prince was in disbelief at first, then he was overjoyed and asked, "Is this really true?"
The cavalryman nodded heavily: "Lord He sent me here to deliver the message, so I'm sure the news is true."
“Hahahaha, God help me!”
The prince was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Pass the order down, everyone hurry back to the capital!"
