The unusually large Zhao Yi grunted in acknowledgment. He bent down with some difficulty to pick up a stone and held it in his palm. He felt the coolness of the stone and asked, "Let's not talk about the future. Let's talk about the present. Song Li, do you think Cao Changqing will lead the army personally or let Xie Xibian fill in for Kou Jianghuai? No matter who is in charge of the Western Front, it doesn't seem to be good news. "
Song Li said without hesitation, "It's more likely that Xie Xibian will lead the army. Cao Changqing will most likely retreat behind the scenes to strategize."
Zhao Yi said self-deprecatingly, "That's right. Why would Cao Changqing care about This King and Lu Shengxiang? He only has eyes for Gu Jiantang. As long as Gu Jiantang doesn't go south from the Liao border, Cao Changqing won't appear to take charge. "
Song Li nodded and said, "It seems conceited, but it's also a long-term consideration. Cao Changqing is too conspicuous. He can only give Xie Xibian and Kou Jianghuai enough opportunities to grow if he doesn't interfere with the specific deployment of troops."
Zhao Yi suddenly laughed and said, "There are no heroes in the world. Only the villains can become famous."
Zhao Yu was a little confused. He knew that the so-called "villains" were people like Xie Xibian and Kou Jianghuai, but he didn't know who his father's so-called heroes were.
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "Back then, Lame Xu only needed to lightly kick to sink the land of Shenzhou."
Zhao Yi's face was full of sarcasm. "This time, Vassal King Jingnan is very loud. Let's not talk about small raindrops. There's no such thing. Other than that old fool Zhao Bing's son who has ulterior motives, the rest are a bunch of good-for-nothings. If Lame Xu hadn't died, he could have casually pulled out fifty thousand elite cavalry from Beiliang and Cao Changqing and his West Chu wouldn't have been able to do anything. As for Zhao Heng, if he was willing to give his all and join forces with This King, they would also be able to solve this problem. However, Zhao Bing was just as scheming as Zhao Heng, who was ridiculed by Xu Xiao as a 'woman'. However, Zhao Heng was a far cry from Zhao Bing's ability to feign ignorance. Before Cao Changqing and the little girl had raised the flag, they had purposefully sent three urgent memorials to Great Peace City saying that the south was in chaos. Hadn't they sent a letter of apology not long ago? He said that the sixteen clans of the Southern Barbarian colluded with the remnants of the West Chu, which led to three consecutive defeats on the frontline that he personally led, losing several tens of thousands of men and horses. Tens of thousands? F * ck your mother! Hundreds of people, right? Your son, who was only a teenager, could go to the hinterland of Southern Barbarian to chop people's heads and build a capital. Zhao Bing, when you went, you were defeated, and you lost three times? What did Nalan Youci, who claimed to be able to 'break a city with a flick of his finger and destroy a country with a wave of his sleeve', do? A big man, he couldn't have gotten pregnant because of you, Zhao Bing, right? "
Zhao Yi sighed, "Among all the kings, the old King of Jing An, Zhao Heng, who couldn't recover from the setback, had the most grievances and the greatest limitations. The King of Huainan, Zhao Ying, had the most talent but the least ability. The King of Jiaodong, Zhao Sui, had the softest temper and the least temperament from beginning to end. As for This King, he had the smallest vision and couldn't compete for the title of the best cavalry in the world. He was satisfied with the title of the best navy in the world. He had the smallest ambition and never coveted the throne. He had been like this since he was a child. He even went to Lame Xu and almost knelt down in front of him so that my brother could sit on the throne. So in these years, outsiders said that This King had a fierce reputation and Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, was the awe-inspiring one. If we were to talk about who this prince loathes the most, it would be Zhao Bing. He changes his rudder when the wind blows, burns the bridge after crossing the river, and is a master of honeyed words and swords. It's a pity that Imperial Brother has always been wholeheartedly guarding against the northwest. No matter how this prince, his biological younger brother of the same father and mother, tries to persuade him, he still refuses to make a move against the southern border. "
Zhao Yi smiled sadly and looked up at his son, Zhao Yuang, and said self-mockingly, "That year when Hsu Fengnian came to Guangling River, you had a deadly feud with him. This King deliberately showed weakness to Xu Xiao and cut a piece of meat from you and sent it to Beiliang. Then at this time, he sent a secret letter to my brother. It wasn't to say anything bad about Xu Xiao in Beiliang, but to say that Zhao Bing couldn't be allowed to accumulate power. As a result, my brother still didn't care. If cutting off a few pounds of meat from This King could change my brother's mind, This King would really do it. "
"Since my brother didn't want to be the bad guy, then This King would do it. So in this half a year, This King had people secretly assassinate the Crown Prince of Yan Chi four times, but they all returned without success."
Song Li was silent.
Zhao Yuang, hearing this for the first time, opened his mouth wide in shock.
Zhao Yi threw out the stone that was still warm in his palm. "Later, when Chen Zhibao entered the capital to take up the post of Minister of War, This King knew that this person would definitely be given the title of King. So, he sent a secret letter to my brother, proposing that Chen Zhibao be given the territory between Guangling Road and Nanjiang Road. If Chen Zhibao felt that the territory was too small, This King could even give up one more province. The two of you know what the result was. "
Zhao Yi laughed and said, "Piao 'er, Father just wants you to inherit the throne. I don't even hope that my grandson will become a Qinwang. In the future, he will definitely go to Great Peace City to be a Prince of Pleasure. But Zhao Bing will be much more domineering as a father. "
Then Zhao Yi exhaled deeply and waved his hand tiredly. Zhao Yuang and Song Li, who had been silent all this time, retreated.
Zhao Yi continued to sit at the mouth of the well, looking at the sky.
He was like a fool looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
