The wine was quite heavy.

Boundless is very important to Ningguo.

It is a moat in the south of Ningguo, and if it guards the boundless pass, it will keep the tranquility in the south of Ningguo.

Now that Wuyaguan has fallen, it has fallen into the hands of Wu Guo, and it has become a moat held by Wu Guo.

With the current national strength of the Wu State, it would be very likely that the crown prince Wu Qian wanted to herd horses and Yudan Plain.

This is a great work to expand the territory!

This is enough to make that prince's prestige unparalleled in the Wu Kingdom for a while!

This is enough to panic all the people of Annam Province.

Li Chen'an's mood was a little heavy, he didn't expect Concubine Li to make such a ridiculous move.

Fortunately, the Yanguo Mansion also has a Yan Ji Dao that takes care of the overall situation.

The matter of Xishan is over, and Wu Miandang is also rushing to the Red Flame Army.

With Wu Mian regaining control of the Red Flame Army, at least there will be no greater turmoil in the country.

At least it won't give Wyeth on the eastern outlying islands a chance.

Li Chenan drank a glass of wine with everyone, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't think I need to worry too much. ”

Old Master Yao looked at Li Chen'an suspiciously, "Oh......? What is Brother Li's opinion? ”

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, it's just that I think that since Yan Jidao has mastered the Red Flame Army, presumably the first line of the Yudan River can be defended."

"The crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, he has captured the Boundless Pass, which is already a great achievement."

"It is not impossible for him to take advantage of the fact that there is no defender of our Ning Kingdom on the front line of the Yudan River to continue north, but it is just ...... I think it is more important for him to return to Kyoto in Wu to ascend the throne as emperor with this achievement. ”

"Besides, the news that the Red Flame Army turned around and went back, I'm afraid it will soon reach his ears."

"In addition to that river, there is no better strategy to rush in the Yudan River, once the two sides start fighting, the competition is the strength of both sides!"

After a pause, Li Chenan said again:

"Think about it, after all, the Red Flame Army has been guarding Annan Province for many years, and there is a big rear area of the entire Annan Province."

"The supplies that Wu's army needs have to be transported from their Zhaohua City, and Wu does not have an advantage in terms of logistical supplies."

"There are only 80,000 soldiers in Zhaohua City, and now they should all be on the boundless pass."

"The Yudan River Plain is very large, and in order to prevent the evasion, the prince of the Wu State will inevitably leave a sufficient number of soldiers to guard the pass."

"Then the number of soldiers they went to the Yudan River Plain, I estimate that it is 50,000."

"For the honor of Yan Mansion, and for Yan Mansion not to be implicated in the matter of Concubine Li's Xishan, he will definitely go all out to fight with the Wu army!"

"Fight to the death!"

"The Red Flame Army was originally the private soldiers of the Yan Mansion, and with the matter of Concubine Li, they must also fight to the death for their own sake!"

"There are many factors that determine the outcome of a battle, but it is nothing more than the right time, place and people."

"Let's not talk about the time, the location is favorable...... The Red Flame Army was extremely familiar with Yudan Heping, and that place was more conducive to the cavalry of the Red Flame Army! ”

"As for people and ...... As I said just now, this battle is a battle for the Red Flame Army, and all the soldiers will use their lives. ”

"And everyone in Annan Province, in order to avoid the destruction and displacement of their families, will definitely vigorously support the Red Flame Army in this battle."

"Therefore, I think that the worst result is that the army of the Wu State holds the Boundless Pass and forms a confrontation with the Red Flame Army of the Yudan River."

"The best result is that Yan Ji Dao recaptures the Boundless Pass...... The losses will be very heavy, and the military department will have to recruit new recruits to fill it, and the household department will have to come up with a large sum of silver. ”

"But if that's the case, there's a huge benefit."

Xiang Qingyun listened carefully, and asked suspiciously at this moment:

"The benefits? If you can recapture the Boundless Pass, this is indeed a great benefit, but for the country, it is even worse! ”

Li Chenan bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "I mean another benefit. ”

Old Master Yao stroked his long beard, his eyes lit up, and asked, "What does Brother Li mean...... This Red Flame Army, which was originally loyal to Yan Mansion, died in this battle, and then replenished new soldiers to come in, if the military department replaced the commander of the Red Flame Army...... This army will no longer be the private soldiers of the Yan Mansion? ”

Li Chenan nodded: "That's right!" ”

"The Red Flame Army is a special product of a special era, it is a double-edged sword, with the brand of Yanfu in its bones, which is not a good thing for Yanfu, and it is not a good thing for Ningguo."

"However, it depends on Yan Jidao's determination!"

……

……

The Red Flame Army was still rushing in the direction of the Yudan River under the moonlight and starlight.

Yan Jidao is not in the army at the moment.

He was on a hillside not far from the army.

Across from him stood a man.

An old man dressed in a black robe and a pitch-black cloak.

The old man was holding a lantern in his hand, and he was looking at Yan Ji at the moment and said, "Concubine Li is dead." ”

Yan Jidao's heart sank, and he silently looked up at the night sky.

"She planted fireworks in the Jishan Temple and blew up the regent and Zhongli Ruoshui together!"

Yan Jidao was suddenly taken aback, he retracted his gaze and looked at Xi Wei, "Really?!" ”

"Seriously!"

Xi Wei sighed slowly, "The old man promised you to save her life, but ...... The old man never expected her to hide such a hand secretly! ”

"The regent is dead, Zhongli Ruoshui is also dead, you say, will Zhongli Mansion let her go?"

"It's not just that Zhongli Mansion won't let her go, but the Imperial City Division won't let her go either, in fact...... I'm afraid no one in the world will let her go! ”

"The old man didn't come to the rescue, do you understand?"

Yan Jidao pondered for a long time, and he looked at Xi Wei: "Then let Ning Zhiyuan go, how about it?" ”

Xi Wei nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

"But Ning Zhiyuan is no longer the third prince, and he can't step into Kyoto for half a step, so it's best to leave Ning Kingdom."

"Good!"

Xi Wei asked again: "Swallow husband...... How are you going to deal with it? ”

Yan Jidao didn't answer, and asked rhetorically:

"Since Li Chen'an is dead, this lamp is extinguished, your ideals ...... Is it also shattered? ”

Xi Wei shook his head: "We think that although he is dead, the light has not been extinguished." ”

"We think that as long as we implement and complete the five-year plan he left behind, maybe we can find that hidden way to continue!"

Yan Jidao asked again: "Who is the eldest son of the emperor?" ”

"Ning Zhinian, his original name was Xiao Wu!"

Yan Jidao was taken aback again: "He? He can't hear or speak, how can he be an emperor? ”

Xi Wei smiled slightly: "Don't you think he is the most suitable person for the emperor?" ”

Yan Jidao hesitated for a moment, dumbfounded.

He understood.

Ningguo doesn't need an emperor in the true sense of the word!

Especially not a finger-pointing emperor!

All Ning Guo needs is a symbol!

Xiao Wu is really the best candidate.

"So...... The real eldest son of the emperor ......"

Xi Wei waved his hand and interrupted Yan Jidao's words, "None of this is important, what matters is ...... You must assist Yan Jinong and Wu Mian to reclaim the Boundless Pass! ”

"Even if it's to fight the Red Flame Army until there is only one soldier left!"

Yan Jidao nodded: "This is the fault of the Red Flame Army, and it should be redeemed by the Red Flame Army." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news, I'll see you later!"

"Where are you going?"

Xi Wei turned around with the lantern and left a sentence:

"Take a trip to Wu Kingdom."
