Chapter 373 What’s the relationship?
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Tiansheng?
Isn't this idea a bit too audacious?
She already thought Sikong Jin was arrogant and daring enough, but she didn't expect this man's ambition and courage to be even greater than hers!
"Your ambitions are quite grand, but do you really think you can handle the combined forces of Tian Sheng and Da Liao all by yourself?"
Sikong Jin squinted at him thoughtfully and asked in a low voice.
Emperor Beizun downed his wine in one gulp, gazing at the blazing flames before him. A mad smile flickered across his cold, noble face as he said in a low voice, "Ajin, I'm not afraid to tell you, this time I mobilized over a million troops from the Great Zhou to storm Tiansheng. It was a gamble in itself. Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie think my goal is merely the Jiangxi Fortress? They greatly underestimate me! If this goes smoothly and we can capture Tiansheng, the entire Fengyun realm will be mine. This battle will be of paramount importance to me; it will determine the final fate of the Fengyun world. If I win, I will be an eternal emperor; if I lose, I fear I will be a sinner for all eternity. Therefore, I hope that you will be by my side at this time."
Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows and her starry eyes were filled with rare shock!
She originally thought that even if he was very ambitious, his goal was to take over the Jiangxi fortress and cut off the two southwestern states so that he could devour them one by one in the future. She did not expect that his idea was so crazy that he wanted to send a million troops to the border and swallow Tiansheng in one gulp.
"I have been planning this idea for a long time. I had this idea long before the Liao attacked your Dayong. It's just a pity that I never had the opportunity until you went south to form an alliance with Tiansheng to resist the Liao. When Hangu Pass was in danger, you came to me to borrow troops... Ajin, I have to admit, you are really my lucky star."
At this point, Di Beizun suddenly smiled with delight. The smile on his face made Sikong Jin tense up, feeling extremely intoxicated!
"What a torturous vixen!"
Sikong Jin gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, glaring at him before continuing, "So, when I go to borrow troops from you, you can use that as an excuse to bypass my Great Yong and directly enter Tian Sheng, launching a two-pronged attack on Hanyang City, forcing Xifeng Lie to temporarily abandon it. Your other objective is Ningzhou City! Because of Hangu Pass, you've calculated that Great Yong, having received a favor from your Great Zhou, certainly won't help Tian Sheng. Plus, the previous alliance between Tian Sheng and Great Yong ended badly, making it even less likely that Great Yong will intervene. You've thus eliminated this threat to Great Yong, allowing you to focus on dealing with Tian Sheng. Emperor Bei Zun, you're truly a master strategist! Even I've been completely fooled, passively fighting alongside you!"
“Ajin, I am creating an eternal imperial dynasty for our future. Otherwise, what else do you think I could do? I spared no expense to eliminate Tuoba Kang and Xing Yilie in order to incite internal strife between Tiansheng and Dayong. Now, the Tiansheng Dynasty is in turmoil, with the two factions at odds. Meanwhile, some tribes in the western part of Liao have also launched internal wars. This is an excellent opportunity for my Great Zhou. If I miss it, I don’t know how many more years I will have to wait. So I must take this gamble.”
Di Beizun leisurely filled his cup with wine, not minding letting Sikong Jin know his whole plan.
"You sent 500,000 troops to launch a surprise attack from the San Francisco side?"
Sikong Jin turned her head to look at him and asked in a low voice.
Di Beizun nodded. "Yes, it's an army of 500,000, traveling by water, so it will take some time. Besides General Meng, who is in charge of the troops, you are the third person to know this news."
No wonder he directly led his troops to garrison near the Jiangxi fortress. He must have been trying to create a mystery and make Tuoba Yu and the others anxious, while buying time for the army from Shengdong to travel by water.
Moreover, it turns out that he was the one who caused the internal affairs of the Liao Dynasty's western region!
It is conceivable that he had put a lot of thought into this operation. Once this great battle breaks out, the entire world will be plunged into a terrible storm. Whether it will continue to be turbulent for hundreds of years or whether he, Emperor Beizun, will truly unify the world depends on this battle!
Sikong Jin felt a sense of unreality in her heart as she thought about it. She looked at him with complicated feelings, her clear eyes flashing with a faint light, and sighed, "I really didn't expect that Tuoba Kang and Xing Yilie were really your doing. And that assassination in the middle of the night after the battle on the Jiangxi Plain, those experts were probably all from Fengyun Tower, right?"
Listening, Emperor Beizun lowered his eyes slightly and nodded without denying it, "Although Fengyun Tower is nominally a Jianghu sect that does not participate in the disputes of the court and officialdom, in reality it is the number one secret guard agency of our Great Zhou. It is the most useful way for me to solve thorny problems. It does not participate in the disputes of other courts and officialdom."
"So what is your relationship with Yuan Yun?"
Sikong Jin, of course, had not forgotten the relationship between Yuan Yun and Fengyun Tower.
Looking at her slightly furrowed brows, Di Beizun smiled calmly and replied in a deep voice, "Don't you know that the eldest princess of my Great Zhou is named Di Yuanyun?"
I rely on!
really!
No wonder she was wearing a veil when they last met; she'd heard that the siblings seemed quite alike! No wonder they said those strange things to her!
Thinking of Di Beizun's enchanting, captivating, and stunningly beautiful face, Di Yuanyun must also be an absolutely stunning beauty, right?
After thinking for a while, Lord Sikong asked with some doubt, "Then do you think your sister is prettier or I am prettier?"
Lord Sikong didn't know why he asked such a question. Judging from his handsome face with a gentle smile, he must have a good relationship with Yuan Yun and her brother.
However, when asked this question by Lord Sikong, the young emperor did not react immediately. He answered simply and honestly, "My elder sister is the most talented and beautiful woman in our Great Zhou... um!"
Before Di Beizun could finish speaking, Lord Sikong leaned over and instantly sealed his cool, thin lips with his own, feeding Di Beizun all the wine in his mouth and giving him a hard kiss.
Are you still sure your imperial sister is prettier than me?
Lord Sikong raised his eyebrows and spoke rather shamelessly.
Caught off guard, Di Beizun coughed violently a few times, a slight blush spreading across his stunningly beautiful face, making him look incredibly handsome. If it weren't for the fact that the recent battle had drained her of her strength, she would have definitely ravaged him again.
