Chapter 514 (2/2)

When he entered the study, he gave a gift to King Lian and said, ”Lord, I have just received the 800 Li urgent secret report from Longxi.”

Chu Lian saw Marquis Zheng's face burned, and raised his hand: ”present it.”

Manager Tian hurriedly received the secret letter from Marquis Zheng and sent it to Chu Lian.

After a cursory reading, Chu Lian's face remained unchanged. The contents of the secret report sent by Marquis Zheng were roughly the same as the secret letter he just received. Naturally, he would not be surprised.

Chu Lian said: ”well, how did the old king of Zhou suddenly send troops to Longxi? Do you know the inside story? ” Chu Lian asked Marquis Zheng.

Marquis Zheng shook his head: ”I only know that in recent years, the Zhou Dynasty is unstable, the prince seizes his wife, and there is no time to expand. I really don't know what is the reason for this sudden attack.”

Chu Lian put down the two secret letters in his hand and said to Marquis Zheng, ”in your opinion, what should I do?”

Lord Zheng said: ”I listen to the Lord, what he says, then what to do.”

Chu Lian was also very confused. He planned to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne in a few days, take the opportunity to take back the military power in the hands of marquis Zheng, and appoint someone he can trust with all his heart to garrison Longxi. Unexpectedly, something happened in this place. At this time, the war was just around the corner. If another marshal was sent, it might cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, lead to the confusion of the morale of the army, and the consequences would be unimaginable 。

His great undertaking is not accomplished, but it cannot be destroyed here.

He pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and then said: ”in this way, you can't stay to participate in the king's accession ceremony. The battle in Longxi is of great importance, and you need to go to the battle in person to settle down the army.”

Marquis Zheng was about to answer, but Chu Lian said: ”I will send another deputy to Longxi with you. Now you are not young. Give more opportunities for young people to exercise, and you are enjoying a lot of happiness.”

Marquis Zheng sneers in his heart, pretends to be surprised and looks at Chu Lian, then nods respectfully: ”I understand.”

Chu Lian was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a light smile, ”it's important to fight. You go back and say goodbye to your wife. You can leave tomorrow without any mistake.”
