"The two armies are in a stalemate. It is difficult for our army to break through the enemy's line of defense, and the enemy is afraid to act rashly.
"The high ranks are delaying for change, waiting for the Qi Kingdom to descend into chaos in one fell swoop!
"How am I not delaying for change? How am I not desiring to descend into chaos in one fell swoop?
"Two out of the Nine Saints are gone, the Misty Pavilion is in chaos, and the signs of great change have appeared. The situation is brewing, and the winds are surging!
"The storm will strike at any time, and the thunder will ignore all living beings. It will affect the situation of the various countries at any time, and it will affect the war at any time.
"At such a difficult time, the long-awaited change is at hand. Whoever can hold on the longest will be able to descend into chaos in one fell swoop!
"For this reason, Luo Zhao and I ordered the armies of Qi and Qin to reduce their rations. One day's rations are equivalent to two days' rations. This is to hold on, to wait for change, to wait for the moment of the decisive battle!
"But you guys are good! In a moment of hot-headedness, you've stirred up a huge internal strife and helped the Jin Kingdom!
"Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't show off your control over the Qi Kingdom? Fine, continue to cause trouble. Let's see how you're going to end this! "
Huyan Wuhen's stern rebuke was laced with tears of blood and tears. His words were almost sorrowful, and he was even beating his chest. He was truly filled with endless grief and indignation.
The complexions of the Elders of the three big Sects had changed. They had been scolded to the point that they were at a loss for what to do. They understood the meaning behind Huyan Wuhen's words, and deeply realized that it was reasonable. They also realized that the Sect's decision seemed to be an extremely stupid one.
The Heavenly Fire Order Elder said nervously, "Calm down, Great General. Can we rearrange the arrangements according to the great general's suggestion?"
"A bunch of idiots, get lost!" Huyan Wuhen waved his hand and pointed outside the tent. He was not polite, and could not afford to be.
Normally, he would not speak of the succession of the imperial power lightly, but now that he had spoken of it,
Normally, he would not talk about the Nine Saints in public, but now he had.
He didn't understand. After all, he had a lot of troops under his command, yet the three major sects didn't even give him a heads up before doing something like this. He didn't even have a chance to stop them. Instead, they asked him about his attitude afterwards, which almost made him vomit blood in anger.
Little did they know that the three major sects were afraid that he would stop them.
The three big sects subconsciously wanted to control the situation and give Huyan Wuhen a choice. They didn't want Huyan Wuhen to control the situation and make the three big sects have no choice.
The three elders still wanted to ask for their opinion, but Cha Hu had already stepped forward and pushed them out of the tent.
However, Cha Hu also knew that Huyan Wuhen's army still required the cooperation of the cultivators of the three big sects. So, he stepped out of the tent and consoled him, "Great General is currently in a fit of anger. There's no harm in waiting for him to calm down before making a decision."
The three elders thought about it and agreed. The Profound Weapon Sect elder said, "Alright! Now that things have come to this, Cha Hu, try to persuade Great General not to let his anger harm his health. "
Cha Hu nodded. "I understand."
"Sigh!" In the end, the three of them shook their heads and left. All of them were slightly discouraged, and at this moment, they cursed endlessly in their hearts. They blamed the sect for not notifying them beforehand.
After returning to the tent, Cha Hu saw that Huyan Wuhen had already sat down on a chair with his eyes closed. After a moment of silence, he poured a cup of tea and placed it beside the table. He said softly, "They were just asking about the plan. If we act according to Great General's suggestion and use the throne as bait to lure the princes to work together against the external forces, is it still feasible?"
Huyan Wuhen's eyes were still closed. He said weakly, "What do you mean by working together? The ministers loyal to His Majesty will put their lives on the line. The princes' forces, both in the open and in the dark, will all be mobilized to put their lives on the line. Inside and outside the imperial court, the entire Qi Kingdom will be working together. This is called working together! "
"Do you think it's still possible now? If they treat His Majesty like this, it would be strange if His Majesty doesn't bare his fangs when he regains his power. I'm afraid that the first thing he will do is to poison his own children. The King of Jade will be the first to be unable to escape. "
"Which of those civil and military officials and generals who have pledged their allegiance to the King of Jade isn't afraid? Who would dare to let His Majesty regain his power? "
"Working together? Once the tiger is released from the cage, it's not to say working together, but it's possible to see them killing each other. "
Cha Hu sighed when he heard this. It was indeed so. What was done could not be undone.
However, he was puzzled and asked, "Since you already have such a good plan in your heart, why didn't you say it earlier? Now that things have become like this, don't you regret it?"
Huyan Wuhen opened his eyes slightly and sighed, "Tiger, you've been with me for so many years. Don't you know that I have my own concerns? Good plan? What kind of good plan is this for His Majesty? Using His Majesty's throne as a reward. Once the three major sects make it clear, the matter will be settled! "
"Who would dare to easily offer up this plan to get His Majesty to give up the throne? Even if they offered it up, His Majesty wouldn't be able to smoothly cooperate. If not, how can we work together? "
"It's not the right time for me to say it! I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the situation to worsen. I'm waiting for His Majesty to have no choice but to comply. I'm waiting for everything to take its course. That's when the time is right.
"Who would've thought that the three major sects would suddenly do something like this? I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for the day when the world changes. It'll be too late for regrets!
"Tiger, I'm really old. I'm no longer the Huyan Wuhen from back then. I've been tied up by an invisible rope. I'm overcautious and indecisive. This is a general's biggest taboo!"
"Sometimes, I really envy Meng Shanming and the high ranks! Meng Shanming only cares about winning or losing on the battlefield. He's a pure and incisive battlefield commander. As long as he's given a strategic goal, some branches and leaves won't be able to hold him back. Looks like being a crippled old bachelor isn't too bad after all. "
"As for the high ranks, Taishu Xiong's spirit is extraordinary. Taishu Xiong's full support allowed him to become a high rank. A high rank has to meet a wise leader!"
"The reason why Dajin is where it is today isn't because of how capable the people below are. The real contributor is actually Taishu Xiong himself!"
"I'm really looking forward to the day when Meng Shanming and a high rank battle it out!"
The corner of Cha Hu's mouth twitched. What did he mean by 'looking forward to the day when Meng Shanming and a high rank battle it out'? If the day came when Meng Shanming and a high rank battle it out, wouldn't that mean that Qi and Qin were done for? There would be no room for him to stay here and watch the show.
Cha Hu knew that this person would never say anything that would shake the military's morale. Now that he had said something like this, he could not help but be secretly shocked. He immediately advised, "General, don't be discouraged. With you here, it won't be the turn of that crippled old man Meng Shanming to show up."
Huyan Wuhen's face was blank. The imposing manner he had when he rebuked the elders of the three major sects earlier was nowhere to be seen. "Chaos is everywhere. It's my, Huyan Wuhen's, incompetence. Perhaps Qi's luck has come to an end. Qi can't afford to be tossed around like this. Tiger … the general's power is gone!"
Cha Hu hurriedly said, "Not necessarily, not necessarily. We won't know what the result will be until the end."
Huyan Wuhen seemed to be talking to himself. "The rebel army's wreaking havoc should be pacified as soon as possible! The three major sects are waiting, the Jade King is also waiting, and the entire imperial court is looking forward to it. If I don't obey, what will happen to the officials of the imperial court who have already taken sides? I'm afraid that Jin's strategy of attacking the hearts of the people will be broken in an instant. Qi can't afford such an outcome. "
"Send a reply. My army is willing to obey the orders of the three major sects and the Jade King!"
Cha Hu nodded slightly. "I'm afraid that's the only way."
Huyan Wuhen suddenly leaned against the back of his chair and sighed. "I never thought that I, Huyan Wuhen, would become a rebellious official one day. My son married the Jade King's sister. Isn't it natural for me to support the Jade King in usurping the throne? I'm afraid that I'll become a profit-seeking villain in the eyes of my brothers. How can I still have the face to command my brothers to fight for their lives? "
Cha Hu knew that this was something that he had been trying to avoid. When the Vast Cloud Map and his brothers were fighting for the throne, he had always maintained a neutral stance. Cha Hu comforted him. "That won't happen. My brothers all know what kind of person you are …" Suddenly, he paused and discovered that his eyes were glistening with tears.
A handkerchief was unfolded. Huyan Wuhen was leaning against the back of his chair and looking up at the sky. His hands were limp behind the white handkerchief.
He could see that the white handkerchief was gradually becoming wet. It was tears. The white handkerchief was covered with old tears.
"Wu wu …" Finally, the face under the white handkerchief began to choke with sobs. His fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling. It seemed as if he was trying his best to restrain his sobs, but was unable to do so.
His entire life's integrity had turned to nothing at this moment. His reputation as a rebel and a traitor had been destroyed in a single day. He no longer had the courage to face others with a clear conscience!
Cha Hu's heart was flustered. He had never seen this old general, who had spent his entire life in the military, cry like this. Perhaps no one outside the tent would have thought that such a scene would occur.
He knew that Huyan Wuhen's heart was certainly in extreme pain. However, he didn't try to dissuade him. Since he was in pain, he might as well let him vent.
Cha Hu turned around and left. He lowered the tent curtain at the entrance, and waved his hand to disperse the guards outside.
However, the faint sobs that were gradually getting out of control could still be heard from inside the tent. Cha Hu's heart was also in pain when he heard them. He looked up to the sky and heaved a long sigh.
…
Huyan Wuhen's reply had finally reached the capital. The three major sects' suspenseful hearts were finally at ease. The Jade King – Hao Hong's suspenseful heart was finally at ease. Everyone in the imperial court also heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the three major sects weren't happy. Especially the Sect Masters of the three major sects. This was because they had received news from the three sects' accompanying elders. After they had learned of Huyan Wuhen's strategy, they realized that they had done something foolish.
Of course, they wouldn't blame themselves. After all, they had already done it. They wouldn't let themselves bear the responsibility. They could only blame Huyan Wuhen for not presenting his good strategy earlier. Otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out this way.
They could only blame him in their hearts. How could they reprimand Huyan Wuhen at this time?
Huyan Wuhen had also raised a request. The Vast Cloud Diagram's abdication would have a huge impact. In order to minimize the impact on the situation, the empty title of 'Emperor' couldn't be easily moved.
In other words, the Vast Cloud Diagram would still retain the empty title of 'Emperor'.
Huyan Wuhen was using the influence of his military power to preserve the Vast Cloud Diagram as much as possible. At least, he didn't want the Vast Cloud Diagram to be crippled in one fell swoop. This could also be considered as preserving the friendship between Emperor and Minister.
The Vast Cloud Diagram had never treated Huyan Wuhen harshly since he had succeeded the throne. This could be said to be Huyan Wuhen's repayment.
The three major sects gladly complied. However, they wouldn't do whatever Huyan Wuhen said. How could the three major sects endure this?
The three major sects added a little more material. They had issued a fake imperial edict. The Jade King – Hao Hong was conferred the title of Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was to supervise the country and take charge of the Qi State's military and political affairs!
