Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 705
"You mean this is a coincidence? The Chinese Empire's mission didn't even know there was an ambush ahead? It just happened to avoid the chasing troops behind, which led to the soldiers of our two countries meeting and fighting under unknown circumstances?"

Huang Dingshan finally understood.

"That's how it should be."

Shi Huanchuan was certain and sure that things were just as he expected.

Presumably, Zheng's army ambushed the people who intercepted and killed the envoy on the way, and only the two of them knew about it.

The Chinese Empire's mission had no idea that there was an ambush ahead, so how could they do it deliberately? They could only explain it as a coincidence.

"But that lunatic Zhou Lifeng killed the prince and General Mu. This revenge must be avenged!"

Huang Dingshan said coldly.

"This matter was originally a misunderstanding, but Zhou Lifeng killed the prince and General Mu. To be precise, it was to vent his anger. If the king knew about this, he would definitely not let it go."

Shi Huanchuan said thoughtfully.

"Then what should we do now? Hide this?"

Huang Dingshan asked.

"Hide it? How to hide it? You saw it too. We were not the only ones who escaped in the end. This matter cannot be hidden."

Shi Huanchuan shook his head, looking helpless.

"Actually, what if the king is angry? Now that Zheng's national power is declining and we need to look at the opinions of the three dynasties, can we still send troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty?"

Huang Dingshan hit the nail on the head and pointed out the core issue.

That is, since the Zheng Kingdom was plundered by the Chinese Empire's navy, its national power has declined significantly and it no longer dares to compete with the three major dynasties.

Fortunately, with Yue as an ally, we can have some say.

"Although our Zheng State is weak, we cannot just let this matter go. The Zhou Dynasty must give an explanation."

Shi Huanchuan said angrily.

"What you said is very light. I see, thank God if Zhou Lifeng doesn't cause trouble for our Zheng State."

Huang Dingshan behaved more pessimistically.

"Okay, this matter is not something we can decide. We only need to tell the king what happened. As for what to do, that is his business."

Shi Huanchuan was irritable and a little impatient.

"Kawako, we have been brothers for many years, and now I am a little worried that the king will take action on us."

Huang Dingshan suddenly fell silent.

"Action against us? Why?"

Shi Huanchuan said puzzledly.

"You have forgotten that we brought the news to Zheng Yuanpei, saying that the Chinese Empire's mission was about to arrive. However, it was people from the Zhou Dynasty who came. Many soldiers knew about this. Do you think they would? Tell the king?"

Huang Dingshan said with a frown.

"The king doesn't think we are traitors, does he?"

Shi Huanchuan exclaimed.

"Even if we are not traitors, we will think that we have been bribed by the Chinese Empire. I would not regret dying. My wife and children will definitely be implicated."

Huang Dingshan looked bitter.

"Then what do we do?"

Shi Huanchuan was completely panicked.

"If we go back, the master of the country will definitely hold us accountable. Even if we are not treasonous, the intelligence we provided is inaccurate, and we will be dead by then."

"If we also died in the battle at Yuwangpo, there would be no conclusion on this matter, and the king would definitely not embarrass our families. So, what I mean is that we can't go back." Huang Dingshan analyzed clearly.

"Can't go back? This..."

Shi Huanchuan was immediately dumbfounded.

"We can't go back. At least we are still alive. If we go back, the whole family will probably be buried with us!"

What Huang Dingshan said is true.

Shi Huanchuan froze on the spot, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Lu Hao listened to the conversation between the two and admired the careless Huang Dingshan for being able to analyze it in such detail at this time.

"I don't know if anyone saw us when we escaped just now. If someone saw us, it would be troublesome."

Huang Dingshan suddenly spoke.

Shi Huanchuan opened his eyes suddenly and said, "It was so dark at the time and we were at the entrance of Yuwangpo. No one must have noticed us."

"I hope, otherwise, our family will be miserable!"

Huang Dingshan had a sad look on his face and seemed a little discouraged.

"Then what should we do now? Escape directly? Where to escape? Is there a place to stay?"

Shi Huanchuan asked in a deep voice.

"After the Battle of King Yupo, our Zheng Kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty will definitely become in conflict. I am afraid that these two countries cannot stay. It is better to go to the Liyang Dynasty in the north."

Huang Dingshan decided to pretend to be dead, go away from home, and live an ignoble existence.

"It's so far away from the Yang Dynasty, why don't we go to the Western Han Dynasty, where one of my cousins ​​lives."

Shi Huanchuan suggested.

Among the eighteen dynasties of Western Chu, the most powerful ones were the Western Han Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Liyang Dynasty, which occupied the richest center of the Western Region from south to north.

The three major dynasties presented a tripartite situation. The Western Han Dynasty was supported by several small dynasties in the west, while the Zhou Dynasty in the center was the spokesperson of Zheng, Yue, Jin and Shu in the east.

The northernmost Liyang Dynasty initially supported the Western Xia Dynasty in destroying the Jin and Shu Kingdoms. Unfortunately, the pressure from the Great Yan Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty prevented the two countries from being destroyed.

The Liyang Dynasty is adjacent to the Liyang Sea to the north and the famous West Sea to the east. Its own shipbuilding industry is very developed, and it also has powerful warships such as five-story ships.

To the west of the Liyang Dynasty, there were several small dynasties attached to the Liyang Dynasty, which gave the Liyang Dynasty a great say.

In fact, both the Western Han Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty had seaports close to the Forbidden Sea in the south, and they also had their own naval fleets.

This was also an important reason why Lu Hao did not continue westward after he sacked Zheng and Yue.

The naval fleets of the Zhou Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty were very powerful, but they were not comparable to those of the two smaller dynasties. If Lu Hao wanted to go to war with them, he would definitely be fully prepared, rather than attack rashly and bring about his own destruction.

After some discussion, the two finally decided to go to the Western Han Dynasty and seek refuge with a cousin of Shi Huanchuan.

Although Lu Hao overheard their conversation, he had no intention of killing them all. Instead, he pretended not to know and let them live.

After all, without the two men sending information, how could Zheng Yuanpei start a fight with the Zhou Dynasty?Speaking of which, the two of them are still great contributors.

……

The Battle of Yuwangpo.

Zheng Yuanpei, the younger brother of the leader of the Zheng Kingdom, led an army to ambush Prince Zhou Lifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and many Zheng soldiers escaped alive.

Therefore, the news quickly spread throughout the major dynasties in the Western Regions.

After all, this matter is really big, and it irritates the nerves of all the major dynasties.

According to news, Prince Zhou Lifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty was leading an army to hunt down the first mission of the Chinese Empire, but was attacked by the Zheng army on the way.
