Chapter 228 - 112: Finally Meeting an Old Friend_3
Li Guan said, "...Yue Family Army."
The elder pointed his finger on the table and said, "Right now, the cavalry of Ying Country and General Yue’s old troops are facing each other across the river, with royal family members supervising them there. Men like Yue Qianfeng with such a fiery temper come forth, the rest are all able to suppress their rage."
"Think about it, the duty to kill General Yue will be shouldered by Tantai Xianming."
"So, eventually the emperor admits his faults in a self-incriminating edict, believing he had done wrong in past years, and then abdicates. The new emperor expels the son of Empress Tantai, kills Tantai Xianming, purges him, and then exonerates General Yue, maybe even going as far as granting him a royal title. What do you think, how will the Yue Family Army respond..."
Li Guan lowered his gaze; in an instant, the young man felt as though the entirety of Chen Country had transformed into a chessboard amidst rising winds and scudding clouds. Currently, the true chess player was only one person. He seemed to see the emperor sitting high up, indifferently watching the world.
Li Guan closed his eyes and heard himself reply:
"They would be grateful to the new emperor."
Xue Daoyong said, "Yes, in that case, the Yue Family Army."
"No——"
The elder asserted:
"Those old forces from the time of the Taiping Duke will regroup under the Chen Kingdom Royal Family!"
