Chapter 202: Su Dingxia's "Proposal"
Looking at the memorial in front of him, Regent He Jin was so angry that he smashed a glass lamp that was a tribute from a vassal state.
“Damn it!”
"That Tumohuer is just a good-for-nothing!!"
"Fifty thousand Canglang Iron Cavalrymen didn't even touch Yu Huaian!"
"And that Yu Anguo just let this guy Yu Huaian go."
He Jin roared angrily and tore the memorial to pieces.
Seeing the furious He Jin, the eunuchs and maids nearby did not dare to step forward, for fear of being implicated.
At this time, Su Dingxia on the side stood up and bowed respectfully to He Jin.
"Your Majesty, please calm down for now. The most urgent thing is to think of a way to deal with the two armies of Prince Huai'an and Prince An."
After hearing Su Dingxia's words, He Jin slowly calmed down.
"I know that, but there are only about 90,000 soldiers left in the imperial capital. How can we face the armies of Yu Anguo and Yu Huaian?!"
Having said that, He Jin frowned helplessly.
After several days of fierce fighting with Prince An's Western Border Army, although the defenders in the city suffered few losses, they now have to face the armies of two princes at the same time, which is extremely difficult !
Moreover, the defenders in the imperial capital were already exhausted after days of fighting with the western army.
In such a situation, if we fight against two large armies at the same time, the final result can only be the destruction of the city and the death of people!
Thinking of this, He Jin couldn't help but feel a headache.
Looking at the distressed He Jin, Su Dingxia felt a little happy in his heart, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come!
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that I think can help you get rid of some of your troubles."
He Jin, who was worried, was overjoyed when he heard Su Dingxia's words.
"Quick, quick! "
"Tell me what you think!"
Under He Jin's constant urging, Su Dingxia spoke slowly and leisurely.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the Huai'an King's Jiangnan Army has just arrived in the imperial capital."
"Then they must not be ready yet. We should take this opportunity to send out a surprise force to launch a surprise attack at night."
"In this way, we can easily eliminate half of King Huai'an's troops!"
After saying this, Su Dingxia lowered her head slightly, waiting for He Jin's reply.
After hearing Su Dingxia's plan, He Jin began to ponder it in his mind.
As he thought about it, his eyes lit up!
"Okay, okay!"
"What a brilliant plan, Su Dingxia, let's do it!"
"However, I still have a question. In your opinion, which general should ?"
After He Jin finished speaking, he looked at Su Dingxia in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I think the Duke of Zhenguo can take on this important task!"
Hearing Su Dingxia's answer, He Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Duke of Zhenguo, that's good. It just so happens that Duke of Zhenguo has made many outstanding achievements. I believe he will not let me down this time."
"In that case, let the Duke of Zhenguo lead his troops there."
"I obey your command!"
Seeing that He Jin agreed to his suggestion, Su Dingxia was overjoyed.
After hurriedly receiving the imperial edict, Su Dingxia left the palace and rode at full speed to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Go and report to your Duke immediately. We have an important matter to tell you, following the Emperor's order!"
After getting off the carriage, Su Dingxia spoke to the guards outside the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will report to the Duke right away."
When the guard heard that it was the emperor's order, he did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and ran into the mansion.
Not long after, Jiang Chen, wearing a Qilin robe, pushed open the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and walked out.
"I didn't know you were coming, sir. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. May I ask what the emperor wants?"
Jiang Chen walked up to Su Dingxia, bowed, and asked with a smile.
"There are too many people here, please allow us to talk ."
Su Dingxia spoke to Jiang Chen in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly startled, and had a vague guess in his mind.
"That's the case, then please!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen invited Su Dingxia into the mansion.
After bringing Su Dingxia to the study, Jiang Chen poured her a cup of hot tea.
Su Dingxia slowly picked up the hot tea and took a sip, then took out the edict from Regent He Jin from his arms.
"Duke, this is the emperor's handwritten edict, please take a look at it yourself!"
After listening to Su Dingxia's words, Jiang Chen nodded, took the edict and began to read it.
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Jiang Chen was secretly delighted.
This is like someone giving you a pillow when you are sleepy!
He was just worrying about how to leave the imperial capital when the Regent He Jin brought him this imperial edict.
"The Duke should have finished reading it. After reading it, burn it. This matter must not be spread out."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had finished reading the imperial edict, Su Dingxia reminded him.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, tore the edict in his hand into pieces and threw them into the incense burner.
"I don't know if you have any other instructions, but you can tell me."
After dealing with the imperial edict, Jiang Chen looked at Su Dingxia meaningfully.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was suspicious of her, Su Dingxia smiled slightly, took out a jade pendant from her arms and threw it in front of Jiang Chen.
"My family belongs to the King of Huai'an, so don't worry, Duke!"
After hearing what Su Dingxia said, Jiang Chen's doubts instantly disappeared.
He also got an explanation for Su Dingxia's help in rescuing Chen Yueru before.
However, Jiang Chen was still slightly shocked.
He didn't expect that the favorite of this fake fourth son of the late emperor and Regent He Jin would actually be the Prince of Huai'an's man!
As if sensing Jiang Chen's doubts, Su Dingxia told him about how she had taken care of Prince Huai'an when he grew up.
"So you are also the prince's man. Jiang would like to thank you for your help before."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen thanked Su Dingxia sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
"No need to thank me, I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."
In response to Jiang Chen's thanks, Su Dingxia smiled indifferently.
Then, he finished the cup of hot tea and left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Looking at Su Dingxia's departing back, Jiang Chen couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, Jiang Chen came to his senses and turned back to the mansion.
"Come here, quickly go and get Du Mingyu, Han Zhong, and Zhang Fei to me!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
After returning to the mansion, Jiang Chen called over several Jinyiwei and passed on the order.
Soon, the three people who received the order rushed over.
"I greet the general! (I greet the commander-in-chief!)"
"Alright, everyone, get up. I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."
Looking at Du Mingyu, Han Zhong and Zhang Fei, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Whatever it is, General, just tell me."
When Du Mingyu heard that Jiang Chen had something to discuss with him and others, he became curious.
