Finally, after hesitation, Yan Bei made up his mind and told Yan Qiqi everything he knew.
"News came from the front line that the northern kingdom had unilaterally torn up the armistice agreement with the state of Yan for 30 years. Hao lianche, the new monarch of the Northern Kingdom, personally led his troops all the way south and successively broke through the small bullet states of Xicheng and Dawan..."
At this time, Yan Bei's words were very light, but Yan Qiqi only felt frightened in his ears.
When she married the Northern Kingdom, she had already memorized the national distribution map of the whole continent. On this continent, the state of Yan is the center of the mainland, and some other small countries are scattered in places not far from the state of Yan.
But these countries look messy, but some occupy traffic fortresses.
Therefore, although looking at the small, it is impossible to break it in one fell swoop.
In just a few months, Hao lianche has accepted all of them. The so-called little into much. He also has a considerable force to integrate these small countries.
For example, for the two countries of Nacheng and Dawan, there may be insufficient troops, but one is the only land route to the state of Yan, and the other is a horse producing area with abundant vegetation.
The deployment of marching and fighting is to take advantage of the unprepared situation of the state of Yan. If the north takes advantage of the unprepared situation of the state of Yan to unite with the two countries, one provides armaments and materials, and the other provides routes, it will be possible for the north to reach the gate of the state of Yan without any effort.
However, it was not here that Yan Qiqi wondered, but it was strange that the fourth brother had already known about it. Presumably Yan Di knew it well, but he didn't hear that Yan Di had the idea of sending troops. Did he have a clear mind and didn't pay attention to Hao lianche at all?
She really couldn't figure it out.
"Fourth brother, is there any news from the kingdom of mackerel?"
Yan Bei suddenly listened to Yan Qiqi's question. His head didn't turn around. When he thought clearly, he was shocked. Then he looked at Yan Qiqi with appreciation. He didn't expect his charming sister to be so forward-looking.
He didn't expect the connection.
Yan Bei pondered, "don't tell me, there's so much noise in the northern kingdom. There's no news from the kingdom of mackerel."
There is no other reason why Yan Qiqi mentioned the kingdom of the mackerel just now, because the waterway at the southern end of the kingdom of the mackerel is connected with the largest transportation river of Yan.
In other words, the silk tea wares that Yan sent to the western regions to earn a lot of money had to pass through the waterway opened by the mackerel state.
Of course, it is not impossible to go by land, but taking the water route saves twice as much time as the land route. Saving time for those goods is to save costs. As long as they are not stupid, they will choose to take the water route. The kingdom of mackerel also makes a lot of money because of this water route, so 80% of Yan's trade in the West depends on the water route.
If the kingdom of mackerel cuts off the waterway one day, the prosperity of the kingdom of Yan will decline by more than 30%. I'm afraid it is not one size fits all, but step by step. Huainan City in the north is not far from the kingdom of mackerel. If the North waits for the opportunity to win over the kingdom of mackerel to cut off the waterway, the kingdom of Yan will be negatively attacked by the enemy, and the loss will be incalculable.
"Brother four, it's not too late. You should send a message to brother three right away to tell him to pay attention to the trend of the kingdom of mackerel. If there is any difference, ask him to send someone to Huainan City to find Ji Xiao from Ji's medicine shop! He will have a way. "
In front of the major issues of right and wrong, Yan Qiqi can still carry it clearly. She will not completely ignore the people because of her personal gratitude and resentment.
Yan Qiqi said eagerly, but Yan Bei did not move, looking at her unfathomably.
She raised her hand and touched her face, "what's the matter, fourth brother? Is there anything on my face? "
Unexpectedly, Yan Bei just stretched out his hand and patted her head. His eyes were very compassionate. "Nothing. The fourth brother just suddenly found that our seven and seven seem to have grown up and analyzed things wisely, even deeper and more attentive than my brother. The fourth brother is very happy to get out of the door."
The four sons of Duke Cheng are all capable of writing and martial arts, otherwise they would not be put in high position at a young age. Now their only sister Yan Qiqi has grown up and has a style of tiger generals, which makes Yan Bei suddenly feel that time flies. In a twinkling of an eye, this sister who still needs their protection can be alone.
Just
The happy atmosphere was fleeting. Yan Bei's face showed a sad face and sighed, "you are the Crown Princess of the northern kingdom. I heard that Hao lianche did not establish a throne after he ascended the throne. Do you think he could..."
Yan Bei wanted to say whether Hao lianche would still be waiting for her.
Yan Bei just wanted to make a hypothesis. He hadn't finished yet. Unexpectedly, Yan Qiqi's reaction was more intense than he thought.
"Fourth brother, it's impossible. Do you know who Hao lianche is? You may not believe it. He is Yun Xian! "
Yan Bei thought he had heard wrong and repeated, "who do you think he is?"
"No, it can't be said that he is Yun Xian. He just lurked in the state of Yan for more than ten years under the identity of Yun Xian. The star picking building is one of his nests!"
Looking at Yan Qiqi's eyes, Yan Bei still couldn't believe it. He looked left and right, "Qiqi, how do you know all this?"
His voice dropped three points. "Do you know what you're talking about? Yun Xian is dead. We all saw it. "
When Yun Xian died, he caused a sensation in the capital, and the funeral was also very beautiful, which is well known to all people in the state of Yan.
It's just that Yun Xian and Northern emperor Hao lianche look similar. How can they be the same person? If it comes out, others will think Yan Qiqi has lost his mind.
Before Yun Xian died, he was also a figure in the state of Yan. Although he was ill, he was smart and had the best business ability. In particular, Jiexing building was operated by him and was famous far and near.
When he died, his majesty even wrote elegiac couplets and plaques to show his grief. Even Yan Bei himself went to worship. Now Qi Qi told himself that all this was false. Yun Xian didn't die and became the emperor of the northern kingdom. The amount of information was too large. He was shocked and speechless.
Yan Qiqi took a deep breath, "no, to be exact, the real Yun Xian has already died. The Yun Xian we are familiar with has always been fake by Hao lianche. Fourth brother, don't you know whether Yun Xian is dead or not? If he knew his son was fake and lied to Emperor Yan for so many years, guess what they would do? "
