Tang Mingzhu looked at Jun Shengtian and asked coldly, "Master Jun, it seems that we have reached a consensus. ”

Jun Shengtian nodded, changed his words, and suddenly said, "I want to see Your Highness." ”

Tang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and asked indifferently: "Master Jun thinks, is that possible?" While speaking, she had already stood up, and said without looking back while walking outside the pavilion: "I'm just a little county lord, no one will spend their thoughts on me, and Your Highness is different, I don't know how many eyes are staring at it every day, Lord Jun still don't spend his mind on those unrealistic things." ”

Jun Shengtian also understands that letting him see Shangguan Xiu now is likely to expose the conspiracy this time, but if he can't see Shangguan Xiu and can't have a face-to-face meeting with Shangguan Xiu, he is always a little bottomless in his heart.

He was about to speak, Tang Mingzhu continued: "What I say to Master Jun now is enough to represent His Royal Highness, Master Jun can rest assured!"

Jun Shengtian didn't insist, bowed to Tang Mingzhu's back, and said, "The grass people send the county lord well!"

Tang Mingzhu didn't say anything more, walked to the carriage, and sat in the carriage with the support of the coachman. The carriage drove the carriage back the way it came, and in a short time the shadow of the carriage had disappeared into the woods.

After Tang Mingzhu left by car, Jun Fei, Jun Peng, and Jun Le entered the pavilion together, and said in unison: "The master really wants to ......"

Jun Shengtian waved his hand, interrupted their following words, and said quietly: "Tang Mingzhu has a saying that is very right, the current Jun family, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, since this is the case, it is better to fight hard, and there is still a great hope for success this time." ”

Others usurped the throne, Jun Shengtian really couldn't see the odds of winning, but Shangguan Xiu usurped the throne, it was simply an easy matter. Conspiring with Shangguan Xiu is a rare opportunity for the Jun family.

Jun Shengtian was sure that Tang Mingzhu was just a cover, and Shangguan Xiu was the real mastermind behind the scenes, in fact, Shangguan Xiu knew nothing about Tang Mingzhu's conspiracy.

He is now at the military headquarters, urgently consulting with the ministers of the military department on the fighting situation at the front.

The eldest grandson, Huai'an, wanted to lure the coalition forces of the Western Alliance into the Ningnan region, and Shangguan Xiu could not be unprepared for this matter.

The ministers of the military department held two opinions on this matter, the ministers of the Feng clan generally believed that the Western coalition forces would not dare to enter their own territory and dare not become enemies of their own country, while the ministers of the Ningnan tribe were not so optimistic, believing that the Western coalition forces were very likely to be introduced by the eldest grandson Huai'an.

Zhang Tianyi, the commander of the 22nd Army Corps, said to Shangguan Xiu: " Your Royal Highness, the western counties, are all obtained by our country's annexation of the territories of the western countries, the western countries have been trying to regain the lost territory, in the past, the Ningnan region was strong and strong, and the west was garrisoned by former generals, impregnable, and the Western Alliance could not find a suitable opportunity to send troops, but now it is different, a civil war plus a national war, has made the Ningnan region full of holes, vitality is greatly damaged, even the army of the Wind Clan, is also a sharp reduction in strength, the combat power is not as good as before, in this case, the Western coalition army is really possible to invade our country. ”

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked, "What is the combat strength of the Western coalition forces?"

"In the past, the combat power of the Western coalition forces was not weak, at least it could withstand the Western Group Army commanded by the former general, and now, the firearms commonly used by the Western coalition forces, as for how much the combat power has improved, the last general does not know. Zhang Tianyi said with a heavy face.

In his heart, Xin Jiyao is the god of war in Ningnan, even Xin Jiyao has nothing to do with the Western coalition forces, and the goal of the imperial court has to be turned from west to east, which is enough to see that the combat power of the Western coalition forces should not be underestimated.

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and asked, "Which country borders my country?"

"Quidun Country!" Zhang Tianyi replied without thinking about it.

Shangguan Xiu asked again: "The country's strength is like this?"

Zhang Tianyi said: "In the Western Alliance, it is considered a strong country. ”

"How does it compare to my country?" Afraid that Shangguan Xiu would have a misunderstanding, Zhang Tianyi said: "Your Highness, the strength of the Western Alliance is not measured by one of the countries......

The Western Alliance has been established for so many years, and it has long been formed as a whole, advancing and retreating together, even if the strength of the Quedon Kingdom is far from that of the Wind Country, it is backed by the entire Western Alliance.

Shangguan Xiu knocked on his forehead and said to Zhao Chen: " In the morning, pass the book to Hu Chong, let Hu Chong lead the Zhenjun army to move closer to the border of the Quedun country, in addition, let Hu Chong give a message to the Western Alliance, the Western coalition forces dare to step into our country, even if it is just a soldier, our army, will attack the Quidun country, where it passes, kill everything, burn everything, destroy everything, the Western Alliance dares to aid Changsun Huai'an, one bullet, one food, one soldier, one soldier, our army, will attack the country of Quedun, the Western alliance dares to meddle in our country's affairs, our army, will attack the country of Quidun. ”

In short, Shangguanxiu's meaning is, if the Western Alliance beats me, I will fight the Quidon State, if the Western Alliance makes trouble for me, I will fight the Quidon State, and if the Western Alliance makes me feel bad, I will fight the Quedun State. In short, no matter what you Western Alliance does, as long as I am not happy, I will fight the country of Quidun.

Everyone present was stunned, and some couldn't react for a while. Luo Ren snorted and laughed, and said, "The plan used by His Highness is to combine and divide it, and divide it into parts. ”

In the Western Alliance, only the country of Quiton borders its own country, so it can only consider it unlucky.

If the Western coalition forces insist on attacking the Ningnan region, no one knows whether their own army can withstand the Western coalition forces, but with the combat strength of their own army, it is more than enough to destroy the Quedun country.

As a result, the Western coalition will be divided over whether to send troops to its own country. At the very least, the Quedon country will resolutely oppose the Western coalition sending troops to its own country.

And the country of Quedon borders with its own country, and if the Western coalition forces want to invade their country, they must use the country of Quidon as a springboard, and the country of Quedon is worried and does not cooperate, and the invasion of the Western coalition forces will only be loud and rainy, so there is no need to worry.

The people present were either wise and resourceful staff, or generals who commanded thousands of troops, and after Luo Ren's explanation, everyone also understood Shangguan Xiu's intentions. The people looked at each other and laughed.

Shangguan Xiu's strategy is very simple, that is, he will firmly grasp an unlucky guy and not let go, he is a scoundrel, and he still looks very naïve, but it can indeed play a role in dividing the Western alliance. Everyone nodded and agreed: "Weichen thinks that His Highness's plan is feasible. ”

Everyone agreed, and Zhao Chen said: "Your Highness, your subordinates will pass on the book to General Hu." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Shangguan Xiu's strategy may not be effective for a long time, but the resistance army of the eldest grandson Huai'an cannot exist for a long time, as long as its own side can achieve a quick victory and quickly pacify the western resistance army in a short period of time, without the existence of the eldest grandson Huai'an, the Western Alliance is not a concern.

Zhao Chen took the order and left, passed the book to Hu Chong, Shangguan Xiu stood next to the map, nodded on it, laughed, and said: "I have always been going to fight others, and now others are looking for trouble and actually find my head, when the domestic situation stabilizes in the future, I will personally lead the army to conquer the Western Alliance and see what great ability they have." ”

None of the people present thought that Shangguan Xiu was talking angrily now, if he wanted to talk about belligerence, from the wind and land to Ningnan, no one could compare to Shangguan Xiu.

Raising his eyes and looking outside, it was already noon, Shangguan Xiu said, "It's time for lunch, all of you should rest first!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zi Yiling walked up to Shangguan Xiu and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, let's go out for lunch today." "He has now stepped down from his position as commander of the Second Army Corps and has served as a deputy envoy in the military headquarters, assisting Luo Ren and jointly taking charge of the military headquarters.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhen also came over, and said with a smile: "It's good to go out to eat, stay in the Governor's Mansion every day, and everyone is about to get moldy." ”

The 10th Army Corps under Nie Zhen, which suffered heavy casualties in the national war, is currently in the reorganization stage, waiting for new recruits to fill the corps.

Shangguan Xiu had no objection, shook his head and said, "Then let's go together!" As he spoke, he shouted back to him: "Ah Ren!"

Luo Ren's eyes fell on the map, and he said absentmindedly: "Brother Xiu, I won't go, I'll stay in the military headquarters and wait for the battle report from the front." ”

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zi Yiling and Nie Zhen beside him, and the two of them understood, walked to both sides of Luo Ren respectively, and couldn't help but say, put up his two arms and walked out.

"Hey, hey, what are you two doing?"

"No matter how busy you are, you can't be busy at this time. Shangguan Xiu said: "After eating, there is enough time for you to be busy in the afternoon." ”

Luo Ren was born in the army, not very good at governance, since he became the Minister of the Army, he has paid much more than others.

And he himself is a relatively strong person, he doesn't want others to say that he climbed to the position of Minister of War because of Shangguan Xiu's relationship, and he doesn't need others to put pressure on him, he himself tightens the clockwork.

Sometimes even Shangguan Xiu can't help but examine himself, whether he pushed Luo Ren too hard.

Zi Yiling and Nie Zhen are both people who know how to enjoy, this is the case when they go to Beijing, and they are like this when they arrive in Tianjing.

This time, the place where they went to eat was Yuhua Building. For the place of Yuhualou, Shangguan Xiu had only heard of its name before, but this was the first time he came.

The group was all dressed in civilian clothes, but the shopkeeper of Yuhua Building still recognized Zi Yiling and Nie Zhen at a glance. The phantom smoke dress fluttered, slowly walked to the front of everyone, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zi Ye and Nie Ye, and the two of them have many days in the future." ”

Her words were said to Zi Yiling and Nie Zhen, but when she spoke, her eyes drifted to Shangguan Xiu and Luo Ren from time to time. Especially for Shangguan Xiu, she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Even standing among the leaders of the children of the family, such as Zi Yiling and Nie Zhen, he can make people notice his existence at a glance.

Yinghua's introverted temperament, insightful gaze, and the natural sense of oppression on his body make it difficult to ignore him.

"I don't know what this son ......is," Phantom Yan asked curiously.

"Are you the shopkeeper of Yuhua Building?" Shangguan Xiu asked without answering.

"The little woman Phantom Smoke has seen this son. ”

Shangguan Xiule was happy, and said casually: "You little woman is not simple. ”

Yuhualou is now the Cai family's industry, and Phantom Yan can continue to be in charge of Yuhualou, which shows that she has won Cai Xiao's trust, and a suspicious and cunning person like Cai Xiao can win her trust in such a short period of time, which is very human.

Phantom Yan was stunned by Shangguan Xiu's words, and couldn't help but look at him twice.

Nie Zhen cleared his throat and said with a grin: "Phantom Smoke Girl, arrange an upper room for us, we are here with a distinguished guest today, and the Phantom Smoke Girl can't neglect our distinguished guest." ”

Phantom Yan smiled and said: "Nie Ye is really good at laughing, even if Nie Ye comes by himself, Phantom Yan will not dare to slack off." ”

"Haha!" Nie Zhen looked back and smiled. Taking advantage of the phantom smoke leading the way in front, he turned around and winked at Shangguan Xiu, and whispered, "Brother Xiu, this phantom smoke girl is a wonderful person. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and didn't say anything. After going up to the box on the second floor and letting everyone in, Phantom Yan Fushen said, "Your Highness, please take a seat, uncles, please take a seat." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and their eyes fell on Phantom Smoke. Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Who does the Phantom Smoke girl know about me?" ”

Phantom Yan said with a smile: "In this huge Tianjing City, I am afraid that only His Royal Highness can make Zi Ye and Nie Ye as guests." ”
