He is not giving Zhao Xiang a chance to speak at all.

Although Di Qing actually wanted to talk about it, the current situation is too beneficial to the Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou needs to maintain sufficient deterrence.

You cannot expose your set goals.

Xiangyang doesn’t know how to fight, but he also has to act like he will definitely take it down.

If the Chu Yue Kingdom does not really withdraw troops from the Donghai Kingdom, then the activities of the Zhuque Army in Nanyang will not stop.

Zhao Xiang was driven out of the southern city gate.

He turned around and looked at the south city gate, and snorted coldly.

Soon he headed south back to Xiangyang.

Xiang Yan asked, "What's wrong? Da Zhou agreed to the talk?"

Zhao Xiang shook his head and said, "No, this Di Qing doesn't get in, it's hard to deceive. He insists on attacking Xiangyang. Not only does he want to pay the money and grain of the Great Zhou, but he also wants to ced the land of our Chuyue Kingdom, and let us withdraw our troops from the Donghai Kingdom. It's really hateful."

Xiang Yan heard this and didn't feel anything.

The main purpose of the Great Zhou sent troops this time was to help the Donghai Kingdom, which was to withdraw their troops from Chu Yue Kingdom.

How could the Great Zhou be willing to discuss this condition if it has not been met?

Besides, people are taking the initiative now.

Three armies were victorious one after another.

If it were him Xiang Yan, he wouldn't be willing to talk about it.

"Then you should go back to Jiangling and report the situation to Your Majesty and the officials in the court." Xiang Yan said:

"It is impossible for Xiangyang to retreat again. I will defend this city until the battle is over and one soldier. I hope the empire can come up with useful plans. Xiangyang is a place that the empire must not be lost."

"Okay! I'll go back to Jiangling now, and the war in Xiangyang will bother the general in Zhenxi!" Zhao Xiang bowed and then took his men toward Jiangling with whips.

…………

Di Qing naturally reported the movements of Chu Yue to Ye Qing in a timely manner.

After receiving Di Qing's secret report, Ye Qing just chuckled.

"I wrote back to Di Qing and told him about the Nanyang matter. I still left him to decide what to fight. They have the final say, wherever they fight and how much land they occupy. Even if I withdraw from Nanyang, I will not blame them."

"But one thing must not be forgotten. The population of Nanyang must be flew over to me, and the troops of Chu Yue Kingdom must be attracted to me. The Chu Yue Kingdom cannot be comfortable, and Xiong Wan can not be peaceful!"

Cao Zhengchun picked up his pen and wrote, and after writing Ye Qing, he stamped his mark.

Delivered to Nanyang by a special messenger.

Then Ye Qing said again: "Summon Zhang Yi and Li Ru over!"

Soon Zhang Yi and Li Ru came over.

Ye Qing told the story of Chu Yue's envoy sending an envoy to pretend to be a peace talk.

Li Rudao: "Your Majesty, so far, the Jinyiwei has not received any signs of Chu Yue State's transfer of troops to return west. Instead, it has stepped up its attack on the East China Sea State. There is no news from Jiangling that Chu Yue State wants to negotiate."

Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, you want to take the initiative first, send a delegation to Chu Yue Kingdom to force Chu Yue Kingdom to negotiate and occupy the moral commanding heights."

"That's Haifeng who knows me!" Ye Qing nodded and said:

"That's right, since the Chu Yue Kingdom wanted to numb us, we took the opportunity to make a real act and took the initiative to send a delegation to Jiangling to show the people of Chu Yue Kingdom that we did not want to have a war or fight, but to have peace and truce the war with sincerity.

But what I really want to fight is Chu Yue itself, so that their surnames are tired of their emperors and the people, and that the people of Chu Yue will be weaker in resistance to us."

"In this regard, the Jinyiwei can cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to promote news that is beneficial to our Great Zhou, package Chu Yue into a cause of trouble, and package Chu Yue into a beginning of a war."

Zhang Yi and Li Ru looked at each other.

Your Majesty is still your Majesty, you are just smart.
