From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1247

The largest army in Yining City is the City Defense Battalion, which has 4,000 soldiers. Since Zhou Yuan came, Sima Yi has drawn 25,000 external soldiers to form an army of nearly 30,000.

At this moment, the 30,000 troops have surrounded the entire palace, which is Sima Yi's biggest reliance.

Whether it is an intelligence game or an assassination game, Sima Yi always firmly grasps the actual power even if he cannot control the direction.

The Imperial Guards and the City Defense Battalion, plus external soldiers, are enough to decide everything in the overall situation.

So he dared to say that the game has just begun.

Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry, but said in a deep voice: "Sima Yi's life is in my hands! You imperial guards had better not make trouble! Otherwise I will chop off his head! Azati, you are responsible for watching the imperial guards and don't let them run around!"

"Great Protector, you suppress the Black Mountain Sect and keep an eye on every one of them."

"Now let's go into the palace hall to celebrate the Khan's birthday."

Zhou Yuan grabbed Sima Yi and pulled him directly into the palace.

Chen Xi moved and followed him in. She had been guarding Zhou Yuan in a place where people could not notice.

The Great Protector looked around and said: "You Shenque, watch, the old monk is going to go in to celebrate the Khan's birthday."

He actually wanted to see how Zhou Yuan would break the situation. If he couldn't break the situation, he would run away in advance, so as not to be unlucky with Zhou Yuan.

When he walked into the hall, he saw Zhou Yuan and Sima Yi sitting on chairs, and they seemed to be in a relatively harmonious state.

The old monk did not interrupt, but sat next to him as a listener.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "The great protector is still worried about me."

The old monk shook his head and said, "Amitabha, I came here to learn from King Wei."

"Then learn well and watch carefully."

Zhou Yuan said, then looked at Sima Yi and said, "Do you really think that I will lose if 30,000 troops surround the palace?"

Sima Yi said, "Otherwise, what can you do? You can't be so naive as to think that Lao Wu will choose to surrender because of filial piety? He would like you to kill me, and then he will rush in to avenge me, kill you all, and successfully ascend the throne."

"Isn't this the reason why you don't kill me? Killing me will make Lao Wu's work easier."

Zhou Yuan endured He kept saying, "No, I started my career as a warrior. Why do you think that I can't defeat 30,000 soldiers with my 2,000 guards?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "If these 2,000 guards were the elite of your Beijing camp, I really believe that you, Zhou Yuan, can win. It's a pity that these are my people. They have limited quality and can't obey your orders."

"At most, they will temporarily obey Azati's command and not run around because of their duty to protect His Majesty. That's all."

"Want them to fight the guards? Wishful thinking."

Zhou Yuan looked at Sima Yi, sighed softly, and said, "You are smart, why can't you see through the overall situation of the world?"

Sima Yi was silent.

Then he grinned and said, "I see too clearly, so I have to struggle."

Zhou Yuan said, "What are you struggling for?"

Sima Yi said coldly, "The world trend has come. The advancement of technology has brought about the advancement of firearms. The weight of the ocean is getting bigger and bigger, and it will become the mainstream in the future."

"If I compromise, Dajin will completely solve the land conflicts and enter an era of comprehensive take-off. It can concentrate on developing maritime trade and become a real oriental power."

"The Western Region will also become a part of this great country. Under your education policy and system assimilation, it will soon be sinicized and can no longer be separated from the cover of Dajin."

"And what about me? What about our family? What about the nobles of the Western Region? Nothing! Completely withdraw from the stage of history! Become a part of your Zhou Yuan's achievements."

"Why should I sacrifice myself to fulfill you? For the people here? For the prosperity of this place? Bullshit! Are these untouchables worth my efforts! I hope this place is as bad as possible! Only in this way can I be the king here! I can do whatever I want here! "

"Just give them something to eat! They will kneel down and be my dogs!"

At this point, he laughed grimly and grinned: "Don't think I don't understand the situation in the world. It is because I understand it too well that I won't do stupid things. "

"As long as I hold on, I will continue to put pressure on you on land in the Western Regions, use the power of the Tsarist Empire and the Mughal Empire, and let your Jin always keep an eye on the Western Regions, you will not be able to develop maritime trade with all your heart and soul. "

"The Jin will eventually fail on the ocean, and then be invaded by foreign races and divided into colonies. "

"At that time, there will be no threat from the Jin in the Western Regions, and I will be completely stable. "

"As for the end, will those foreigners attack us? Haha, this place is too poor, they won't come. ""They must eat meat first, eat up the rich places, and then they will think of the Western Regions, and that will be at least a hundred years later."

"I, Sima Yi, need to care about things a hundred years later?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but applaud and said, "Well said, great Yarkand Khan, I have seen your vision."

"I thought you were ambitious and a hero, but I didn't expect that you only thought about short-term separatism, only wanted to be the boss of this piece of land, and live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Your failure is what you deserve."

Sima Yi said, "Don't rush "You are just talking nonsense. The 30,000-strong army is about to enter the palace."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I am a person who can see ten steps ahead. As long as my mental state is normal, I will not make mistakes."

"What I want to express is that I have seen through the situation in the Western Regions and calculated it to the end."

"Compared to large-scale corps operations, the games here are like children's puzzle games, very easy."

He stood up and said loudly, "Alim, it's your turn."

Alim walked in quickly, with some confusion on his face.

Zhou Yuan said: "Take your followers and your father's golden order and go out to ask Huo Jia to withdraw his troops."

"You must be aggressive and show that Zhou Yuan has been captured alive and is negotiating with your father. The crisis in Yarkand has been resolved."

"Tell him that the double happiness has been achieved, and at the same time... try to divert his attention."

Alimu asked in confusion: "I know what I said before, what is the diversion of attention?"

Zhou Yuan said: "What does he care about most?"

Alimu shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't know.

Zhou Yuan leaned over and whispered something to him.

Alimu's figure was shocked, his face was solemn, he took a deep breath, and strode away.

Sima Yi had a blank expression on his face, just watching all this quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Yuan sat down and said slowly: "With your golden order and the big event of double happiness, Huo Jia will definitely withdraw his troops."

"Shen Que will catch him and completely complete the last round of this game, and the dust will settle from now on."

Sima Yi didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Yuan quietly.

Zhou Yuan did not speak, but waited for the news.

After about a quarter of an hour, Sima Yi said: "Zhou Yuan, do you think you won?"

Zhou Yuan said: "I won."

"No, you are doomed to fail."

Sima Yi looked at him, and finally smiled. He whispered: "Huo Jia will definitely lead his troops to attack the palace! Definitely! He knows that I have been killed! You are doomed to fail!"

"I set up a safe word with him in advance! I told him that if he was not proposed to be crown prince, it meant that I had been killed and someone had falsely transmitted the king's order!"

"The moment Alimu saw him, he would be determined to attack."

"You are defeated! Completely defeated!"
