The plan in Chen Le's heart was unimaginable to anyone, and he had never thought of opening the passage of the Qin State now and opening up the connection between the Western Regions Protectorate and Daxu.

Are you kidding! Lao Tzu finally deceived 20,000 horses, worked hard to make a detour into the Western Regions, subdued the Western Regions Protectorate, and subdued the soldiers and horses here.

Once connected, the 20,000 Yulin Army will be taken back, not to mention, it is not certain whether he can take charge of the power of the capital again, and when the time comes, he will not be able to make a wedding dress for others, which he is absolutely unwilling to accept.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to directly open the blockade channel of the Qin State, but he can't just trap the Western Regions, he must have a second way, he must open a second road!

Chen Le planned two paths in his heart, one was to go northeast, kill Hunu, and kill the Xiongnu, so that he could make a detour back to Daxu and Yan.

The other way is to kill to the southeast, kill several small countries on the border of the Western Regions, and then kill to the border of Qin and Chu, and contact the Central Plains from here.

But these two roads are on a long front, and it is extremely difficult to completely occupy and open the passage, especially the road in the northeast, which spans too vast the territory and is almost impossible to occupy, so Chen Le is still inclined to kill all the way to the southeast, sweep away those small countries that stand in the way, and expand the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate to the junction of Qin and Chu!

Of course, these are just ideas, and it takes a rigorous plan to actually implement them!

In the following days, Chen Le continued to refine this plan, and it was not until half a year later that he made a surprise attack, swept away eleven small countries in the southeast, and intersected the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate with Qin and Chu!

Although they are new forces, the Qin State and the Chu State did not act rashly, because at this moment, the Central Plains region has been chaotic, and the war is continuous, and the Qin and Chu countries have no time to take care of the territory of the Western Regions, so for a while, the three parties are quite calm.

In the late autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Xu Qiyuan, Chen Le sat in the Western Regions Protectorate, several pigeons were "cooing" in the room, and Chen Le sat behind the table and gently opened a paper scroll.

He plucked the scroll from the pigeon's leg, wrapped in a bamboo tube and covered with wax at the ends.

He opened the scroll and only looked at it a few times, and his brow was furrowed!

This secret letter was not written by Emperor Xu, but from the crown prince Zhao Xiang!

The content of the letter made Chen Le think a lot in his heart, it turned out that the prince said in the letter that Emperor Xu was seriously ill, Xu Jingcheng was in chaos, and all forces were eyeing each other, wanting Chen Le to return to Beijing to stabilize the situation!

Chen Le slowly put down the paper scroll, feeling that the first burst was big, it was nothing to return to Beijing to stabilize the situation, anyway, the Western Regions Protectorate was already firmly in his hands, as long as he didn't open the Qin State Passage, then no one would be able to touch the Western Regions Protectorate!

However, a conquest is a conquest, returning to Beijing is a return to Beijing, and returning to Beijing requires a holy decree!

Without a holy decree, a feudal official returned to Beijing without authorization, which is a big crime!

Chen Le didn't believe that the prince would not consider this, if the prince considered this and did this, it would prove that Xu Jing's situation was already very critical, so that the prince had to take a huge risk to act like this.

That is, three or two hours later, Chen Le ushered in the second letter, obviously the interval between the two letters was not long, the content of this letter is very simple, probably that the holy decree has been invited, as long as Chen Le breaks through the Qin defense line and returns to the territory of Daxu, then naturally someone will send the holy decree to Chen Le's hands.

After Chen Le read this letter, he let out a long sigh, Zhao Xiang's two letters can be said to have completely disrupted his overall plan!

However, Xu Jing still has to go back! The key is how......

Chen Le brought Li Cunxiao, Cheng Tieshi, Zheng Xuan and others, especially several leaders of the northern forces of the original Western Regions Protectorate, and held a meeting.

There is no doubt that Chen Le impassionedly declared himself to be the prince's person at the meeting, only loyal to Emperor Xu, loyal to the prince, and finally Xu Xu's orthodoxy!

This kind of remark was immediately supported by the original forces led by Xu Ning, it can be said that these people are the kind of people who are extremely conservative and traditional, otherwise they would not be able to stick to the Western Regions Capital for thirty years, and wait for Daxu to send troops to recover it.

Chen Le's remarks were supported by everyone, and then Chen Le expressed his intention to go to Xu Jing temporarily, which everyone had no objection to.

But then Chen Le changed his words, let out a long sigh, and looked at Xu Ning: "Boss, the children of the veterans of the Duhu Mansion, they have been trapped here since they were born, it is really too hard, these children are the roots of the Central Plains!" ”

Xu Ning nodded when he heard this: "Yes, back then, the Imperial Protectorate and the imperial court broke off contact, and there was no way to replenish the source of soldiers and continue the descendants, so the soldiers intermarried with local women in the Western Regions, and this led to the next generation, but these children have received a lot of traditional education from my childhood, and they have never forgotten their roots, but it is a pity that they have not left this Western Regions so far, and they can only see the Central Plains in books and dreams." ”

Chen Le smiled when he heard this, and suddenly said, "Boss, I have a reluctant request, I must say hello to the boss in advance!" ”

Xu Ning hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Most of the protectors have something to say, don't care about the opinions of the old man!" ”

Chen Le said with a smile: "These children are all the blood of my soldiers in the Central Plains, although they were born in this bitter cold place, their roots are all in the Central Plains, so when I return to Xu Jing this time, I don't want to take Yulin back, but I want to take these children to see, take a look at the place where their parents were born, and take a look at the prosperity!" ”

Xu Ning's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and then he stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Chen Le: "Dadu Hu thinks about these children in his heart, and the old man is very grateful, and the old man has thanked these children for protecting Dadu!" ”

Xu Ning is very excited, who doesn't want to seize the opportunity to return to the Central Plains? The children of these veterans have been in the Western Regions since they were born, and they don't know what the Central Plains look like at all, and Chen Le wants to take them to Xu Jing, he is naturally overjoyed.

Chen Le nodded: "Boss, I can only bring 30,000 horses, and you must also be prepared, once you rush through the customs, it will inevitably be damaged!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Ning shook his head when he heard this: "These little guys are not afraid of death, if it weren't for the fact that there were no powerful generals in the Western Regions to take the lead, I'm afraid these little guys would have gone to attack the Qin army a long time ago, most of them protect you as a martial artist, famous all over the world, it is their honor for you to lead them to rush through the pass, as for the loss, where is there no loss in the war, if most of them protect you with them, if they can't make it, let alone others!" ”

Chen Le said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then these 30,000 horses will be screened by you personally, my lord!" ”
