Inside the Grand Prince's Mansion.

"Tell Your Highness, I just received the news that the upper echelons of the Thousands of Mountains have been seized by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the entire Leisurely Villa has completely collapsed!" Qin Lie's subordinates came to report the situation to the Great Prince.

"What?" Qin Lie's face changed drastically, and he looked at his subordinates with some incredulity, "Why did Qin Chao arrest thousands of mountains, what reason did he have?"

"The reason is that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was pitted in Youran Villa, and the people of Youran Villa assassinated him, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince detained thousands of mountains and thousands of people for the crime of great rebellion! Now His Royal Highness the Third Prince has reported this matter to His Majesty. The subordinate explained.

The face of the eldest prince Qin Lie became extremely gloomy, and his eyes were shocked or shocked.

"Could it be that those two guys have joined forces?"

Qin Lie's first thought was that the second prince and the third prince had been united, otherwise how could Wan Shanqian attack the second prince, this matter must be a designed trap, the purpose is to deal with Wan Shanqian.

Wan Shan Qian is the money bag of the eldest prince Qin Lie, once this person is killed, the eldest prince will be in great trouble. After all, sometimes it is very effective to use money to attract people, especially those who are in the rivers and lakes, and it is more practical to use money and treasures.

Subsequently, the eldest prince hurriedly left the mansion.

The eldest prince wanted to keep the thousands of mountains, but the third prince seized the opportunity and how could he let it go.

In fact, many people are well aware of this matter, but this time his people attacked the second prince, which is a very serious crime.

Although the second prince is not liked by the monarch, he is a member of the royal family, and attacking a member of the royal family is a great rebellion and must be severely punished.

As a result, Wan Shanqian was directly raided by the monarch, all property was handed over to the treasury, and the whole family was distributed to the frontier.

In this way, the eldest prince's money bag was completely killed by the third prince.

This blow was very big for the eldest prince Qin Lie, even worse than the loss of General Xiong Zhan.

Followers like General Xiong Zhan can be found again, but it is not easy to find a money bag like Wan Shanqian.

Helpless, Qin Lie had no choice but to look for Emperor Mu Yao again.

"Lord Mu, now I have lost the upper hand in the battle for the heir with the third child, first I lost General Xiong Zhan, then the sixth prince rebelled, and now I have lost the money bag of Wanshan Qian, and then I am a little confused. Qin Lie said wistfully.

"Sometimes a temporary victory is not necessarily a permanent victory, and a temporary defeat is not necessarily a permanent defeat, just like this incident of thousands of mountains, it is not because His Royal Highness the Third Prince defeated you, but His Majesty originally wanted to kill thousands of mountains.

Because the treasury has been empty recently, His Majesty is trying to find a way to expand the treasury, and he happened to encounter the matter of thousands of mountains and thousands, so the monarch is happy to copy ten thousand families, in addition, the monarch wants to see how His Highness will deal with it next, if His Highness carries it over this time, he can basically win the position of the crown prince!"

"Master Mu means that this is my father's test for me?" the eldest prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is a test for you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is now in an absolute advantage, if he can't completely defeat you, he will be considered a failure in His Majesty's heart, and if Your Highness, you can fight back against His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the position of the crown prince will definitely be you!" Mu Yao explained.

Qin Lie suddenly brightened, and his fighting spirit was rekindled in his heart.

"Then what should I do next?" Qin Lie asked.

"It just so happens that there is one thing at the moment that can allow His Highness to regain the advantage, the Great Desert Country in the west has recently had friction with the border of our Great Qin State, and has repeatedly sent troops to attack the western city of our Great Qin State, some time ago, there was a military intelligence report, the Great Desert Country has gathered 50,000 troops, ready to capture the Huangsha City on the western border of our Great Qin State, and the defenders of Huangsha City will not be able to resist the army of the Great Qin State. ”

"Huangsha City will fall into the hands of the Great Desert Country, what His Highness has to do is to take Huangsha City from the hands of the Great Desert Country, so that the position of the crown prince must be His Highness. Mu Yao said seriously.

"There are only 50,000 troops in the Great Desert Country, and I will lead 100,000 troops to capture Huangsha City at that time. The eldest prince nodded in response.

Mu Yao smiled and shook his head: "No, if His Highness uses 100,000 troops to capture Huangsha City, this is not a ability at all, but will be ridiculed, not to mention that the 100,000 army in the capital may not be able to defeat the army of the Great Desert Country, only the defenders of Western Xinjiang are good at fighting in the desert, and the inland army is looking for death, so His Highness must use the defenders of Western Xinjiang to recapture Huangsha City." ”

The eldest prince looked puzzled: "Since the border defenders are not the opponent of the Great Desert Country, then how can I lead them to repel the army of the Great Desert Country?"

"Although the army of the Great Desert Country is brave, it lacks resourcefulness, and it is up to His Highness to decide this aspect, and the old man can't help you. Mu Yao smiled.

"Thank you, Lord Mu, for the point. Qin Lie nodded, if this little thing can't be done, don't think about competing for the crown prince in the future.

......

The Great Desert Country really attacked Huangsha City as Mu Yao said.

The 50,000 defenders of Huangsha City failed to hold Huangsha City, and suffered heavy casualties, and finally only 30,000 people retreated to Storm City behind.

The monarch who received this news was furious and scolded the generals of the defenders of Huangsha City, if it were not for the need for them to continue to serve as guards, the monarch would definitely behead them directly.

"The loss of Huangsha City, this is the shame of our Great Qin State, the 50,000 troops of the Great Desert Country defeated the soldiers of our Great Qin State, this is a slap in the face, I need someone to stand up now, repel the army of the Great Desert Country, and reorganize the prestige of our Great Qin State!"

After speaking, the monarch's gaze swept to everyone in the court.

The vast majority of ministers have lowered their heads, this kind of thing is their duty to do a good job, and it is a punishment to do it badly, so they will not take the initiative to take the initiative.

Seeing that no one dared to take the initiative to take this matter, the corner of the eldest prince's mouth curled up with a smile, this is better, if he takes the initiative to take responsibility at this moment, he will definitely receive more support at that time.

As a result, the eldest prince Qin Lie was ready to step forward and take the initiative to ask to repel the Great Desert Country.

"Father, the sons are willing to repel the Great Desert Country and reorganize the prestige of our Great Qin Kingdom!" Before Qin Lie could stand up, the second prince, Qin Zhi, took the initiative to stand up.

Everyone was dumbfounded, including the eldest prince Qin Lie.

Is this crazy? Do you think this is child's play if you take the initiative to ask to repel the desert country?

Even Qin Lie was not completely sure about repelling the Great Desert Country, where did Qin Zhi get the courage?

In fact, Qin Zhi also had bitterness in his heart and couldn't say it.

We don't want to go to war, but Wu Yaoyang forced himself to take the initiative to stand up before going to the court, Qin Zhi had no choice but to take the initiative to repel the Desert Country.

The monarch looked at Qin Zhi unexpectedly, in his impression, Qin Zhi would never make a move, how has it changed now?

"Emperor, are you sure? This is not a joke, it has a major national matter. The monarch asked with a serious face.

"As a member of the imperial family, Erchen should serve the Great Qin State, and Erchen is willing to go to the border in person, drive away the invaders, and take back the Great Qin State!" Qin Zhi said with a serious face.

The eldest prince Qin Lie had originally planned, how could he let Qin Zhi stir up the situation.

"Father, this matter must not be allowed to go to the second emperor's brother, after all, the desert country is cruel, and his life is in danger at any time, he has not experienced war, it is not suitable at all, it is better for the son to go in person!" Qin Lie looked at the monarch and said.
