Chapter 595 - 592: Not Without Reason_1
The Crown Prince waved his hand dismissively, "Not really. It’s Yan and Beirong jointly attacking Nanrong. This is understandable since Nanrong ambushed and killed Yan’s princess, who was to marry into Beirong as their new empress. How could Yan and Beirong swallow this anger? Naturally, they would attack Nanrong. It is just as well... Nanrong recently plundered our Jin Kingdom’s Dengzhou City, and they deserve to learn a lesson."
The Crown Prince clearly didn’t take the matter to heart.
"Your Highness!" Bai Qingyan suddenly rose with a solemn expression and bowed towards the Crown Prince, "Yan and Beirong attacking Nanrong... our Jin Kingdom must not sit by and let it happen!"
The Crown Prince didn’t understand Bai Qingyan’s words, furrowing his brows, "Princess of Zhen, what do you mean by this? Do you think the Jin Kingdom should take this opportunity to annihilate Nanrong?"
Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on the map of the territory hanging in the Crown Prince’s study. She rose and walked towards it, and the Crown Prince quickly followed.
"Your Highness, look here..." Bai Qingyan pointed at Yan, located to the west of the Jin Kingdom, "Yan lies to the west of our Jin Kingdom. Now it also controls Beirong, which lies to our east. If Beirong swallows Nanrong in this war, Yan’s close relationship with the Rong people will form a pincer movement around our Jin Kingdom! Your Highness... with Nanrong there, they entangle Yan and Beirong, ensuring the safety of our Jin Kingdom."
The Crown Prince glanced at Yan to the south of the map and then at the Rong people to the north, clenching his fist by his side, "Nanrong just plundered Dengzhou. Are we really going to help Nanrong? I just can’t swallow this anger!"
"Your Highness, you must be vigilant in peaceful times. Endure momentary rage for the sake of the overall situation, only then can you strategize for the world! For the peace of our Jin Kingdom, Bai Qingyan requests the Crown Prince to send envoys to Beirong and Yan with warnings. Also, dispatch someone to inform my uncle, so Anping Camp and the Dengzhou Army can be on high alert!" Bai Qingyan said with a long bow toward the Crown Prince.
