Chapter 135: Returning to Jin, the First Defeat of the Southern Expedition

Has, a veteran of three dynasties of the Huihe Khanate and the prime minister, entered the game with his body and added the last fuel to the marriage of Princess Biljia Yueqiluo and Prince of Jin Chen Huaian at the end of his life.

The shrewd Has had long seen that Prince of Jin Chen Huaian would definitely have some concerns and reservations about the marriage with Princess Biljia Yueqiluo.

In order to let Princess Biljia ascend to the throne smoothly and become the queen of the new dynasty, it is definitely not enough to rely on a letter of state submitted by the Yingwu Khan as a bargaining chip.

Therefore, Has, who is good at seeing through human nature, would come up with this strategy.

Only by letting Prince of Jin Chen Huaian owe Princess Biljia a favor in front of the monarchs of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions can the marriage between the two proceed naturally.

And what kind of favor can make Prince of Jin Chen Huaian "promise"?

Obviously, in the cognition of old Has, only the grace of saving life.

This is why the assassin, who was well prepared and close at hand, missed the target with the first arrow when he was trying to assassinate Chen Huaian, the Prince of Jin, in the hall.

Because the assassin was not aiming to kill Chen Huaian.

The first arrow was deliberately shot off target, clearly to remind Princess Biga Yue Qiluo.

The old prime minister, Has, had already calculated that Princess Biga Yue Qiluo would risk her life to block the second arrow for Chen Huaian, the Prince of Jin.

In the end, the whole assassination process was exactly the same as Has's deduction.

It has to be admitted that Has, the prime minister who had experienced three dynasties of the Uighur Khanate, was indeed a wise and courageous man.

The whole assassination plan was closely linked and leak-proof.

Even when he proposed the idea of ​​"marriage and surrender" in the court, he had been planning to facilitate this matter.

With Has hanging himself, the last letter was swallowed by Yingwu Khan Moyanchuo. The truth of this matter may never see the light of day again.

Yingwu Khan Moyanchuo shouted out in great grief: This love, the descendants of Moyanchuo and Yaoluo Ge will never forget it!

For Chen Huaian, when the assassin was caught by the court, his mind also calmed down and became rational.

A little analysis will not be difficult to get the answer.

The assassin who assassinated him, King Jin Chen Huaian, could never be instructed by any of the kings of the 35 countries in the Western Regions who came to submit the letter of surrender.

At first, Chen Huaian's idea was the same as that of the brave general Pang Xianchu, who believed that some people in the envoy group did not want to see the great unity and prosperity of the various ethnic groups on the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

That's why 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 didn't he use the opportunities he had before?

Why did he wait until Princess Viga Yue Qiluo was walking side by side 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 if he randomly picked an ordinary soldier in the army's crossbow camp, he could easily hit the target with one arrow.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Huaian concluded that the assassin must have other unspeakable secrets in assassinating him.

Therefore, he would calmly let the dinner continue in the palace hall as if nothing had happened until it ended smoothly.

Later, when Chen Huaian learned from Xiao Po that the mastermind behind the assassination was Has, the prime minister of the Uighur Khanate, the layers of fog lingering in his heart were immediately blown away.

In this way, all the doubts about the assassination incident can be explained.

After returning to the camp, Chen Huaian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "This old Prime Minister Hasi has put a lot of effort into getting me married to Princess Vijaya Yue Qiluo!"

"He is willing to sacrifice himself to win the game between the Uighur Khanate and me."

"This move is great!"

As he said this, Chen Huaian looked at the map of the Western Regions on the table and continued: "It seems that I underestimated this old Hasi."

"Well, at least my expedition to the Western Regions can ensure that there will be no major wars and disasters on the Silk Road within 50 years, so it is worth the trip."

"As for the affairs of future generations, let them deal with it themselves!"

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the King of Jin, General Lan Yu, General Pang Xianchu, and General Fan Wuji of the Iron Buddha want to see you!"

At this time, the voice of the messenger suddenly sounded outside the tent.

Inside the big tent, Chen Huaian said without raising his head: "Let them in!"

Soon, Lan Yu, Pang Xianchu, and Fan Wuji walked in from outside the big tent one after another, knelt down to pay respect to Chen Huaian, and then stood on the left and right of the big tent.

Lan Yu spoke first: "Your Highness, I just learned from the Jinwu Guards that the mastermind behind the assassination of Your Highness was actually the Prime Minister of the Uighur Khanate, Has!"

"Your Highness, do you want me to lead the troops to massacre the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Uighurs to achieve the purpose of deterring these Western Regions barbarians!"

Fan Wuji also echoed: "Your Highness, General Lan is right!"

"To assassinate His Highness the Prince of Jin in court is clearly not taking His Highness and our 200,000 Dragon City troops seriously. The old man Has should be cut into pieces and executed!"

"It's a pity that this old man knew that he could not escape his crime and hanged himself in advance!"

After a pause, Fan Wuji said: "I think that only by massacring the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Uighurs can we achieve the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and let these Western Regions barbarians see that this is the fate of those who dare to assassinate His Highness the Prince 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 fail to frighten 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 off to the Western Regions this time. 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 Wang Chen Huaian, who was still sleeping, suddenly received an eight hundred mile urgent call from Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of the Longcheng army 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 Chun 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 was 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!
