On the 20th of June, Na Ruixuan made a decision to bring some people to the border to meet Xiao Ruxun's invitation.
No matter how strong Daming was, he was in the north and wouldn't be able to come over for a while. No matter how bad Xiao Ruxun's situation was, there were tens of thousands of Zhennan Army around him. He had seen how strong those troops were. At that time, before Daming's favorability could be increased, he would lose himself first. Na Ruixuan wouldn't do such a losing deal.
However, Na Ruixuan didn't dare to send troops to help Xiao Ruxun on the northern expedition. After all, Daming's emperor was also his emperor in name. The current situation was unclear, and Daming had a higher chance of winning. In the long run, if he sent troops to help, and Xiao Ruxun lost, his death would be worse than anyone else's.
Therefore, he decided to remain neutral and not help anyone. He would see how the situation played out. This way, even though he couldn't please anyone, at least he wouldn't offend anyone. Whether Xiao Ruxun won or the Great Ming Dynasty won, nothing would happen to him.
After the two met, Xiao Ruxun asked him to send troops to help. Na Ruixuan said to Xiao Ruxun with a bitter face.
Big Brother, you are fighting with the gods of the court. How can a mortal like me get involved? To be honest, we just live here peacefully. We don't care about anyone, we don't provoke anyone, and we don't dare to get involved in this kind of thing. You say if …
Right? Wouldn't we be finished?
Big Brother, let's discuss this. I promise to be absolutely neutral and not get involved in anything. Can you let me go?
What Xiao Ruxun wanted was Na Ruixuan's attitude. At least, as long as he would wait and see, as long as he knew how to weigh the pros and cons, he wouldn't easily do something harmful to himself. In this world where strength was everything, strength was everything.
Xiao Ruxun agreed to Na Ruixuan's request. As long as he remained neutral, Xiao Ruxun would not make things difficult for him. At the same time, Xiao Ruxun said that when the time came to march, they would need to pass through his territory. He asked him not to stop them and to buy food, vehicles, and firearms from him.
Na Ruixuan thought about it and wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Xiao Ruxun would turn hostile and directly attack his territory. That would be too unjust, so he didn't dare to refuse. He gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
After getting rid of the unstable factor, Na Ruixuan, Xiao Ruxun quickly returned to Myanmar to arrange for the troops to enter the country. He confirmed the date and route of the elite troops. At the same time, he also paid close attention to the news from the north.
Unlike the four Blackwater elites who were sent to instigate the four Generals, Xiao Ruxun sent the entire Blackwater forces to the north at the same time. She began to infiltrate the north with her tentacles, laying the foundation for further advancement.
Myanmar's war machine rumbled as it operated, and Yunnan was also making its own preparations. Chen Yongbin had received 200,000 taels of military funds, and he had also received the support of the elite soldiers and provisions from Sichuan. He could be considered to have some confidence, and he nervously prepared his troops to go south to Myanmar.
At the same time, Deng Zilong and Liu Chi had no desire to fight.
It could even be said that they were full of worries.
On one hand, they were at a loss about what to do in the capital. On the other hand, they were indeed worried.
They relied on Xiao Ruxun's recommendation to establish a relationship with Shi Xing, the Minister of War, to establish a foothold locally. Now, although they heard that Shi Xing had become a minister, Xiao Ruxun was regarded as a traitor and was killed. Would they also be implicated?
This relationship wasn't shallow at all. As long as they did a little investigation, they would definitely be able to find out that their relationship with Xiao Ruxun was really good. Under such circumstances, whether or not they could keep their positions and positions was a problem.
Perhaps this attack on Myanmar was a warning from Shen Yicheng.
But in this way, they would become ungrateful in the eyes of others.
Deng Zilong didn't care about his age, but he had to care about his children and grandchildren. Liu Chi was still young, so he also had to care.
Out of their own feelings, they couldn't cross the hurdle of doing such a thing to someone who had helped them several times and who was a comrade who had fought side by side with them.
This dilemma was thrown to them, and they really didn't know what to do.
The two talked in private several times, but they didn't come to a good conclusion.
And just when their minds were in an extremely unstable state, the two of them separately went to find Deng Zilong and Liu Chi.
Deng Zilong was handling military affairs at night when he heard someone outside his tent asking to see him, but was stopped by the guards. Deng Zilong asked the guards to let the soldier in to interrogate him, and in the end, he found out about this matter.
"You were sent by Ji Xin?! Ji Xin didn't die? How did you get into my army? "
Deng Zilong looked at the "soldier" kneeling on one knee in shock and asked in a low voice.
"Yes! I was ordered by the Marshal to infiltrate the army as a new recruit, find an opportunity to approach Commander Deng, and deliver a letter from the Marshal! "
Xiao Ruxun's secret envoy took out the letter from the inside of his undershirt and handed it to Deng Zilong. Deng Zilong carefully took it and opened it. Sure enough, it was a letter personally written by Xiao Ruxun.
In North Korea and in the years after, the two of them had exchanged letters several times. Deng Zilong was very clear about Xiao Ruxun's handwriting, and this handwriting was indeed Xiao Ruxun's handwriting. There was no way it could be fake.
Xiao Ruxun's letter told him the truth about the coup in Beijing, how he escaped, Shen Yicheng's true goal, Xiao Ruxun's plan to punish the rebels, and Deng Zilong's current situation.
You are now obeying Shen Yicheng's order to attack me. If I fail, you will lose your value. You are related to me, and Shen Yicheng will be able to find out. If he wants to expel dissidents, you will be the first to bear the brunt.
At that time, whether you can keep your life is a problem, not to mention riches and honor.
Moreover, Shen Yicheng's treason of deposing the Emperor is unreasonable. The Emperor Zhu Yijun that we swore loyalty to has been forced to abdicate. The child sitting on the throne is simply Shen Yicheng's puppet. Shen Yicheng is not the Emperor, but he is more like the Emperor. Do you really want to serve him?
If you join hands with me and persuade Liu Gu to join hands with us to capture Chen Yongbin, Yunnan will be easy to obtain, and Sichuan will not be impossible. At this time, I will advance to the two provinces and persuade Chen Lin and Cen Dalu, and the two provinces and Guangxi will also be easy to obtain.
With this kind of situation, why not take a gamble? Fight to capture the capital and save His Majesty, fight to confer the title of a wife and a son, fight to leave a name in the annals of history, and fight for a future where he will never be bullied by civil officials again. Isn't this good?
Reading Xiao Ruxun's letter, Deng Zilong broke out in a cold sweat. The weather in June scared him so much that he trembled.
Such a terrible thing had actually happened in the capital.
Shen Yicheng had actually done such a treason.
