In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Zhao Heng did not force it, but followed Lu Xu's wish.

Lu Xu bowed to Zhao Xun and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Zhao Xun asked, "Since Mr. Lu will be the military advisor of Prince Jing'an's Palace in the future, I have something I would like to ask you for advice."

Lu Xu: “I’d like to hear more details!”

Zhao Xun continued, "Can we go to the capital to support the king now?"

Lu Xu: “No!”

Zhao Xun frowned and asked, "Why?"

Lu Xu explained: "There are many people who think the same as Your Highness, why don't they act?"

“From ancient times to the present, there is one unchanging truth: those who are the first to come to the fore become short-lived.”

"Your Highness, you don't want to be a flash in the pan, right?"

Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard this: "Sir, do you mean to continue staying in Jing'an?"

Lu Xu nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xun chuckled and said, "And today, no one in the world has the courage to touch Xu Ping'an?"

"My Zhao family has almost become a laughing stock!"

"If this continues, the Zhao family will lose their spirit and confidence. How can they fight against the prince of Beiliang? Bah, he even proclaimed himself the King of Pingnan. Who gave it to him? Who agreed to it? He is just a rebel."

Lu Xu continued: "Your Highness has such thoughts... I can understand."

"But as the prince of King Jing'an, you have to consider the people of Jing'an and King Jing'an."

"No matter who is the emperor, as long as Jing'an is kept safe and not affected by the war, the people will be grateful."

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, with countless thoughts in his mind.

Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Xun, "Xun'er, I know what you are thinking, but this concerns your life, otherwise how can I not fulfill your wish?"

"Sometimes, once we are in this position, we have no choice."

"When we have to make a decision, there are countless people behind us who are all included in our plan. They don't even know that we have made a life and death decision for them."

After listening to this, Zhao Xun fell into deep thought. He had never heard these words and principles before, at least never from Zhao Heng.

He actually said such words today, which really shocked Zhao Xun.

"Father..." Zhao Xun hesitated to speak.

"In these years, I have not been involved in state affairs and have been worshiping Buddha every day, but I have not forgotten the people. Jing'an has also developed well. The people of Jing'an are also very grateful to the Jing'an Palace. This is the people." Zhao Heng said.

Zhao Xun recalled everything. He had done evil things in Jing'an, but the people never blamed him.

If you go too far, you will be scolded by King Jing'an.

Zhao Xun seems arrogant.

In fact, Zhao Heng would send people to deliver silver and apologize. For a prince to do this, he loved his people like his own children.

Lu Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness loves the people like his own children. I am not boasting, but the common people all say so. Otherwise, I would not have to wait for Your Highness in Qilong Lane."

Zhao Xun frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Lu want from Jing'an?"

He already knew that Zhao Heng invited Mr. Lu to come in order to ensure the stability of Jing'an and to deal with future situations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun was a little hesitant and shocked.

This Xu Ping'an is really scary.

Zhao Xun was a little unwilling and asked, "I have one more thing to ask Mr. Lu. I hope you can give me some advice."

Lu Xu said respectfully: "Please speak."

Zhao Xun asked: "Can the Prince of Beiliang really rule the world?"

Lu Xu sighed: "He is waiting."

"What are you waiting for?" Zhao Heng and Zhao Xun asked at the same time.

Lu Xu looked towards the direction of Tai'an City and said, "Wait for the princes to enter the capital."

"Isn't he afraid that the princes of the world will attack Tai'an together?" Zhao Xun asked suspiciously.

Lu Xu analyzed the situation for the two of them: "It is said that Beiliang sent a general named Li Jing to lead 20 troops to station in the Longwei Slope area, waiting for King Yanla to go north. At the same time, they are trying to contain King Guangling Zhao Yi."

"There is a great general in Liaodong named Xiang Yu, who leads 30 troops and holds the King of Liaodong in check. He is also stationed there to defend against the North Mang's southward advance. You have also heard that this General Xiang Yu is a land immortal."

"The Huainan King Zhao Ying who was just beheaded was led by a man named Han Xin, who led 20 people recklessly and was approaching Jing'an. Shu, Liuzhou and the Western Regions have been controlled by someone."

"These people did not commit massacres in the city, nor did they fight a large-scale battle to forcibly take the city. As long as they did not put up a desperate resistance."

"..."

Lu Xu told the story slowly. Although he was in Qilong Lane and had been playing the chess game with one hundred taels of silver for each game, he had never closed his eyes or ears to any news from outside.

He knew all these things clearly.

When Prince Jing'an heard this, he was also shocked. He stared at Lu Xu for a long time before he slowly said, "Mr. Lu, you really can know everything about the world without leaving your house."

"That's why I'm looking for you."

"From now on, the land of Jing'an will obey you. Whenever you come up with a plan, we will execute it without any compromise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xun.

The latter was also stunned when he heard it, but he reacted immediately and bowed to Lu Xu: "Sir, if you have any strategies in the future, Zhao Xun will follow them."

Zhao Xun is not a fool either.

After listening to Lu Xu's analysis just now, I was also very shocked.

At the same time, I have great respect for this blind old man.

Every time he says something, it always gives people a feeling of enlightenment.

Lu Xu was somewhat moved when he heard this, and smiled and said, "Thank you both for your trust in me. Now that I have come to the Jing'an Palace, I will do my best to assist the two princes."

Zhao Xun continued, "Mr. Lu, I want to go to Tai'an City. Is there really no chance at all?"

Lu Xu nodded and said, "Your Highness, it's not the right time for you to go to Tai'an City. After all, Tai'an City is now under the control of Xu Ping'an, and the other princes have not yet expressed their opinions. If you are eager to express your opinions now, it will cause big problems."

"Wait for the right time and act accordingly. This is the only thing you can do."

"If any vassal king goes to Tai'an City, he will basically be cursed by the people of the world."

"Keep cultivating Jing'an and don't worry about other things. If Xu Ping'an really lets Han Xin's army invade, we may be able to resist or negotiate peace."

When Lu Xu said this, there was a moment of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Prince Jing'an said, "Mr. Lu, don't worry. If you have anything to say, just say it. Xun'er and I won't blame you."

Prince Jing'an Zhao Heng continued, "Mr. Lu, we are powerless now. Even if we have the Qingzhou Navy, we will still be defeated by the Beiliang Cavalry."

Lu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a plan that can prevent Xu Ping'an from attacking Jing'an."

Zhao Heng was delighted and immediately asked, "How is it?"

Lu Xu told Zhao Heng the plan, and Zhao Heng looked surprised.

Zhao Xun was also shocked.

Lu Xu's plan was to send him to Tai'an City and hold him hostage in Xu Ping'an's camp.

Zhao Heng and Zhao Xun were both shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Xu with suspicion.

"Mr. Lu, what's the reason?" Zhao Xun asked with a frown.
