"Big brother, now all the vassal kings are heading towards Linshan Mansion, should we go too?" Ye Cheng said with some excitement.

"No, although we are growing rapidly, our roots are too shallow." Ye Qiu's eyes were deep, "But although we don't go to Linshan Mansion to intervene, we can expand our territory while the King of Donghe is going to attack the King of Linshan." ”

"What do you mean, big brother?"

"Jing'an City is too small, our soldiers are almost overloaded, and the refugees in the vicinity have heard the news, where will they live then? Where can we get more land for them to build houses and reclaim them? ”

Ye Cheng looked at the map and pointed to the two cities next to Jing'an City: "Then the eldest brother decided to attack which city first?" ”

"Dongchang City is near the sea, after the capture, we will control the sea, then we can send troops directly from the sea to the north, there are iron mines in Longjin City, we are now most lacking not only people, but also weapons, I want these two cities." Ye Qiu's eyes were deep and he said, his face was full of inevitable.

"But sending troops to two cities at the same time, will it attract the crazy revenge of the King of the East River at that time?" Ye Cheng is not afraid of not being able to attack, after seeing the strength of his own army, his confidence is getting stronger day by day, although he has not seen other armies with his own eyes, but he dares to swear that there is no army in this world that is stronger than his brother's training.

"Then it's better to take the letter together."

"Huh?" Ye Cheng was puzzled, "Xindu is the royal city of the King of Donghe, I'm afraid that there are heavy troops to defend it, will the gains outweigh the losses?" ”

"This time, the king of Donghe, the king of Xichuan and the kings of various small feudal domains have sent troops to Linshan Mansion, and they are bound to bite off a piece of the meat of the king of Linshan, the king of Linshan now has gunpowder in hand, if the king of Donghe does not send heavy troops, it is better not to send troops, so the remaining troops of Xindu will not be too strong, Xindu is not close to Linshan Mansion, do you say that the king of Donghe will drag the remnants of the army back from a long journey or recapture a city on the spot?"

"This ......" Ye Cheng was a little uncertain, after all, he was not the king of the East River, and he couldn't understand the thoughts of a vassal king, "But what if the king of the East River doesn't send heavy troops?" ”

Seeing that he still couldn't figure it out, Ye Qiu continued to explain: "He will definitely send heavy troops, the power of gunpowder is too great, the King of Donghe and the King of Xichuan will not let the King of Linshan become bigger, Xichuan is too far away from the East River, and the King of Linshan is too busy to take care of himself, if it weren't for us, the King of Donghe would not have any worries, why didn't he send heavy troops?" If the king of the mountains falls, who will benefit the most? ”

Ye Cheng's eyes lit up: "At that time, whoever has more soldiers will be able to get more benefits." ”

"As soon as the King of Linshan falls, the most powerful ones are only the King of Xichuan and the King of the East River, whoever benefits the most in this battle will have the greatest chance of winning the throne in the future, so this time the King of the East River and the King of the West River will definitely go all out." Ye Qiu looked at the Tao that everything was under his control.

Ye Cheng asked the last doubt in his heart: "Then if we take the base camp of the King of Donghe, won't it be cheaper for the King of Xichuan?" When the time comes, will he unite with the King of the East River to attack us? ”

"Do you think the King of the Mountains will definitely lose?" Ye Qiu asked rhetorically.

"Although the king of Linshan has the hole card of gunpowder, but eldest brother, you also said that the king of Donghe and the king of Xichuan are attacking with all their strength this time, plus the kings of various small domains, and the raw materials of gunpowder are under our control, and the king of Linshan is afraid that the preparation is not so sufficient for a while, can he really bear it?"

"Don't underestimate the King of the Mountains." Ye Qiu's eyes were deep, "He is far from being as simple as we and the vassal kings of all walks of life imagined, and the King of Donghe and King Xichuan are not so easy to succeed. ”

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Ye Cheng also felt that it might be because of his lack of understanding, it seems that he doesn't know enough about the situation in the world, and he must inquire more carefully about the news of all parties in the future.

At the same time, the Linshan King, who had received the imperial order from various vassal kings to attack his Linshan Mansion, was full of gloom: "The little emperor knows what black powder is, Chen Shun and Han Youjie are clearly red-eyed, no matter whether I hand over the formula or not, they will unite to attack me." ”

Ye Lu looked guilty: "Lord Wang, I'm really sorry, I brought you such a disaster." ”

"No, it's not your fault." Chen Gaoxuan comforted her, "If it weren't for you, they wouldn't let me go, do you really think that I'm weaker than them when I'm younger?" has been dormant for so many years, but it is time to let the world know that I, Chen Gaoxuan, am not a timid young man who only knows how to live in a snail! ”

Ye Lu looked at him with admiration, her eyes were full of confidence, she understood that it might be because of her arrival that caused the war to be advanced, but she believed in the strength of the King of Linshan, and even more believed in the power of black powder and heavy crossbows and repeating crossbows, beyond the products of this era, they would definitely be able to catch those two parties off guard.

And the King of Linshan is bound to ascend to the throne earlier than in the book, and as for the heroine who has not yet appeared, she will not have the opportunity to see the King of Linshan again.

Ye Lu gently stroked her belly, if her feeling was not wrong, there was already a little life in it, she couldn't help but smile sincerely, although she gave the prince a lot of ideas, but after all, this is a feudal era, women always have to have children by their side, preferably a boy, he will be the eldest son of the prince in the future, and he will be the future prince.

However, the princess is always a threat, she remembers that the heroine in the book suffered a lot of losses from the princess in the early stage, and now the child is not yet three months old, and the fetus is not stable, she must not let the people in the backyard know.

But the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, no matter how careful Ye Lu is, there is always a time when the horse's feet are exposed, and now Princess Shi Xuan is staring at her all the time, and if there is a trace of something wrong around her, someone will report it immediately.

"Princess, although the dishes of the side concubine are still the same as before, but there is less oil and meat, the princess is keen to drink the soup, and there are people who report it, the side concubine's menstrual affairs in the past two months are a little abnormal, and the slave and maid suspect ......"

Shi Xuan's expression tightened: "Do you suspect that she is pregnant?" ”

"Yes, the next person has specially observed, the side concubine is a very bold person, but in the past two months, she rarely goes to the lake for a walk, if it rains, she will not go out of the house half a step, now the autumn crab is fat, the side concubine has also talked to the strategists about the golden autumn chrysanthemum and crabs, but the porter reported that the side concubine herself did not ask to make crabs, which is very strange."

"It's really strange, she is really lucky, she was pregnant with the prince's child within a few months of entering the mansion." Shi Xuan smiled bitterly, jealous and hateful.

The subordinate was worried: "Princess, if the side concubine gives birth to a male fetus, but it is the eldest son of the prince, won't you be in a hurry, princess?" ”

"What's the use of me being in a hurry? The stomach is not angry. Shi Xuan slammed the teacup, she was really depressed enough.

The subordinate continued to analyze: "Now the side concubine not only has great prestige in the palace and in the army, if she gives birth to the eldest son of the prince, the princess, then wouldn't we...... We've got to figure out how to do it! ”

Shi Xuan pursed her lips: "You let me think about it again." ”
