Chapter 319 Xie Yong's Plan
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Old Prince Gao smiled and said, "Not bad... Not bad... Queen Mother, thank you so much..."
The Queen Mother said to Prince Gao, "Zhongbo, you are too polite... You also know that you are my support..."
Prince Gao said to the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. If you need anything, just say a word and I will go through fire and water for you."
After hearing what Old Prince Gao said, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Zhong Bo, you are too polite... You have been here for a while, so it would be better for you to go to His Majesty first. There is still something else to do, so hurry up and write a letter to Zong Bang..."
Old Prince Gao stood up with a smile, then bowed and left.
…
On the border between Xia and Zhou, in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xie Yong received news one by one.
After Xie Yong’s killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys last time, these people were also subdued by Xie Yong at this time...
"Thank you, hostage. Our request for peace talks was rejected by Gao Zongbang..."
"Besides, I heard... Gao Zongbang also made things difficult for Xie Xunfeng and his men, blocking their troops outside Ping'an City... They are fighting among themselves, isn't this a good opportunity for us... Should we launch an attack..."
Xie Yong shook his head and said, "Don't worry... I still say the same thing. In terms of military, our Great Zhou is weaker than Great Xia, so we naturally don't want to take the initiative to launch an attack... If they don't move, we won't move either..."
Some counselors looked at Xie Yong and asked in confusion, "Second Prince, don't you want to make achievements?"
Xie Yong smiled faintly at his adviser, and then said, "Of course I want to make meritorious deeds... No one doesn't want to make meritorious deeds... But, obviously, it's not the right time..."
The counselor said to Xie Yong, "Second Prince... what are you doing..."
Xie Yong said to his adviser, "Don't you understand?"
The counselor nodded and said to Xie Yong, "Yes... Several good opportunities for war have been missed... Many people in the court have complaints about you... They all think you are lazy... Some even say that you are colluding with the Crown Prince..."
Xie Yong said to his advisers, "They are actually right... I am indeed lazy..."
Faced with Xie Yong's quick admission, there was still some doubt in the strategist's eyes.
Xie Yong said to his adviser, "Do you think this battle must be fought?"
The counselor said to Xie Yong, "That's right... According to the mentality of our Majesty at the moment... If it weren't for the several defeats we have experienced, he would definitely not agree..."
Xie Yong said to his adviser, "That's right... since this battle must be fought... and it will definitely take a long time... and we have been set up here from the beginning. In the palace behind, many people want to hinder us... and many people want to take this opportunity to show off..."
"After all, they all think that beating that idiot this time... is simply giving away credit... In this case, if we win... not only will there be no benefit. But if we lose... then it will be a big sin... So, don't they want to come? I have to delay here... let those who want to make merit come quickly... When they lose again and again, I will take action... Isn't that turning the tide..."
After hearing what Xie Yong said , the counselor's eyes lit up a little, and then he said to Xie Yong, "Your Highness the Second Prince... You are wise... After spending some time with us, Your Highness the Second Prince, even if you don't threaten us with our families, we will still follow you wholeheartedly..."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has this plan and this character... The position of Crown Prince will belong to His Royal Highness the Second Prince sooner or later..."
After hearing Xie Yong's words, a group of counselors boasted on the side.
