Fulong City is located in the northernmost part of the Fujiang Plain, and is the bridgehead for the Tianyin Sect to enter the Fujiang Plain.

This place has always been a battleground for soldiers, but because Fulong City is closer to the Tianyin Sect, it has always been controlled by the Tianyin Sect.

Fulong City is on a higher terrain and overlooks the entire Fujiang Plain. Its terrain is dangerous, it can be attacked and retreated, and it is a fortress place.

The main responsibility of Fulong City in the Fujiang Plain was to store grain and grass and a place to store supplies.

After all, when the third prince led the army to be stationed on the Fujiang Plain, the geographical location of Fulong City was relatively backward.

Li Beixiang rode on a war horse and walked on the streets of Fulong City.

The entire street was filled with patrolling soldiers, and it looked very strong. There is hardly a pedestrian on the road, and it is estimated that no pedestrian will be willing to come out in the middle of the night.

In fact, Fulong City has implemented a curfew policy every night in the past few days, after all, there are many routs, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble at night.

Li Beixiang looked at the orderly streets, couldn't help nodding, and praised: "This rich money has a few brushes." ”

Lao Chai followed behind Li Bei and said: "This rich Qian does have some ability, and he can take care of Fulong City, which is full of routs, in an orderly manner, just from this, it can be seen that this person's ability is not ordinary." However, I just can't understand one thing, why is this person so capable and staying in such a place?"

Li Beixiang sneered and said: "There are many capable people in this world, is it possible that they all have to be in a high position? ”

Lao Chai shook his head and said with a sluggish expression: "I don't understand." ”

Li Beixiang smiled bitterly and said, "I hope you never understand." ”

.......

"My lord, Your Highness has come to you to discuss military affairs!" a guard rode a horse and stopped in front of Li Beixiang, and said urgently.

Li Beixiang was stunned for a moment, and asked randomly: "In the middle of the night, what military situation is there to discuss?"

"I don't know about this, and I hope that the adults can hurry up and go to the Chinese army's big tent. ”

When the guard had finished speaking, he turned around and ran.

Li Beixiang sighed and said, "Alas, it's hard work." Let's go. ”

By the time Li Bei came to the big tent of the Chinese army, it was already full of people.

The fourth prince saw Li Beixiang walking in. Hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Hurry up and sit." ”

Li Beixiang took advantage of the situation and sat next to the four princes.

In front of the fourth prince, there was a soldier covered in mud, the soldier kept panting, and said urgently: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince was tied up by the group of people from the Yaosheng Empire, and came towards Fulong City, it is estimated that there will be seven or eight days of effort, and you will be able to reach Fulong City." ”

The fourth prince's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Li Beixiang, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Beixiang pondered for a while and said, "In my opinion, this Yaosheng Empire is menacing, and its ambitions are not small. I think it is very likely that they want to use the three princes as a threat to open the gates of Fulong City. ”

"Yes, we think so too. This Yaosheng Empire has captured my third brother, and it can only use this to blackmail Fulong City. They also know that with my third brother, it is impossible to blackmail my father. After all, in the eyes of my father, his sons are far less important than Jiangshan Sheji. My father, the emperor, loves the country more than anything. For him, if his son is gone, he can regenerate, and if his daughter-in-law is gone, he can remarry. If this country is gone, then there is nothing. ”

The fourth prince really knows Zhou Tianpeng too well, after all, after such a long time, he should also understand.

Zhou Tianpeng was originally just a concubine prince, no matter how he turned, it was not his turn to be the emperor. However, it was a person with no foundation and no power who became the emperor. If Zhou Tianpeng's ability is not good, then how can he become an emperor?

It is precisely because it is too difficult for him to become the emperor that he attaches great importance to the throne and cares very much. Similarly, he also attaches the same importance to Jiangshan Sheji.

In fact, the easier it is to get, the less you know how to cherish it. In the same way, the harder it is to obtain, the more it is cherished.

Zhou Tianpeng is this kind of mentality.

"So what are we going to do?"

The fourth prince looked at Li Beixiang and asked.

Li Beixiang pondered for a while and said, "The purpose of the Yaosheng Empire is Fulong City, this is obvious. Otherwise, we wouldn't have brought the three princes here, but we wouldn't have lost this Fulong City. In this way, we are in a dilemma. ”

"Who said no, the third brother must be saved. If you don't save it, you will be said to be a ruthless and unrighteous person who disregards his brothers and sisters. If it's labeled, it's over. This label must not be attached to the body, otherwise it will be doomed. The fourth prince rubbed his head and kept muttering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what can you do? Speak up and let me hear it, and if anyone can solve this urgent need, I will recommend him before my father when the time comes. The fourth prince looked at the people in the big tent with a sad face, hoping to get a perfect solution. It's a pity that he was wrong, and when his gaze touched others, those people all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the four princes.

Actually, these people can't be blamed for this.

On one side is the Three Princes, and on the other side is Fulong City, both of which are very important things. Losing any of them is a very great culpability. No one dares to make their own suggestions, even if their methods have a 100% success rate, but still no one dares to say anything.

succeeded, and the credit goes to the four princes. It's good to say, at least I don't have to go to jail. But what if it fails?

If you fail, your death will be light, and if you don't get it right, you will be exterminated by the Nine Clans. No one dared to risk the threat of the Nine Clans to speak up for their own suggestions.

Li Beixiang looked at the big tent that fell into silence, and suddenly said, "Let's rescue the third prince, isn't it?"

As soon as Li Beixiang's words fell, everyone looked at Li Beixiang like fools.

Do you think we haven't thought about it? However, if you want to save, how can you save it? Do you know that there are as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses in the Yaosheng Empire.

Although it seems that the number of troops on his side is larger than the number of Yaosheng Empire, have you ever thought that the three princes could be captured by them. If there is a three-long and two-short, can you afford to be responsible?

Li Beixiang said with a smile: "The salvation I said is different from the salvation you said. ”

Li Beixiang said that, and then scanned the people in the entire big tent with cold eyes.

The fourth prince looked at Li Beixiang and said, "These are all people who can be trusted, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

Li Beixiang said: "Since this is the case, then I will say it." ”

Li Beixiang's tone changed and said: "The third prince must be saved, but how to save this is indeed a big reason." Also, whether this is coming back alive or dead is still a debatable question. ”

"What did you say?"

The eyes of the four princes widened, and they pointed at Li Beixiang, unable to speak for a long time.

"What do you mean......"

Li Beixiang looked at the four princes, nodded, and said, "Have you ever thought that a captured prince is important to Your Majesty. Or is an intact Fujiang Plain important to Your Majesty?"

Everyone was speechless for a while, yes, is a prince who represents shame important to Your Majesty or a complete Fujiang Plain is important to Your Majesty.

Obviously, it must be important to have a complete Fujiang Plain. You must know that after His Majesty became emperor today, he killed almost all of his brothers. Family affection is like that for the current emperor.

The fourth prince pointed at Li Beixiang and said, "What do you mean? Let my third and third brother die? or ......?"

"Of course, we were on the way to save the three princes, and we were attacked by the bastards of the Yaosheng Empire, and the three princes were unfortunately shot by the bow and arrow of the Yaosheng Empire and died. And the four princes were extremely sad and angry, endured the severe pain in their hearts, and raised troops to avenge the three princes. It will be the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Yaosheng Empire's troops, and by the way, the entire Fujiang Plain will be included in the territory of the Tianyin Sect. ”

"You, you, you're a demon. ”

Everyone in the big tent pointed at Li Beixiang, their mouths wide open, and they were speechless in shock.

Is this like a man who can say it? How can this man be so cold-tempered, how can he be so ruthless? That's the third prince, not to mention anything else, he is the third brother of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. You sentenced him to death so lightly, and by doing so, you are pushing the four princes into the bottomless abyss, do you know it.

Li Beixiang sneered, looked at the people in the big tent, and said, "Do you think I'm joking? Let me ask you, is the throne more important or the brother more important?"

"This, this, this ......"

The people in the big tent were speechless for a while, they looked at Li Beixiang, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Yes, is it the throne or the brother who is important.

That must be the importance of the throne, something that this fool knows.

Li Beixiang said: "Do you say that a ruthless prince who can keep this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is more and His Majesty's mind or two useless rice buckets and His Majesty's heart? You must know that in Your Majesty's heart, this country and society is the most important, and the current Your Majesty is old. He's going to start arranging the aftermath, and when he dies, does he want the Heavenly Yin Sect to be destroyed or more prosperous, think about it. ”

Li Bei paused for a moment, and then continued: "This is obvious, of course, it is more important to be able to defend the country. However, now among His Majesty's four sons, the third prince has been captured, and the eldest prince and the second prince are fighting non-stop in the capital. The only one of the four princes who was leading the troops outside hesitated because of a trivial matter, and you say, how cold is Your Majesty's heart? Could it be that there is really no one among these princes who is suitable to be an emperor? Do you know what the first condition for being an emperor is? That is, ruthlessness. ”

Li Beixiang was like a demon, tempting everyone and gradually bringing their thoughts into the abyss.
