Chapter 145: Dare to Fight
"Reason!"
Ripple asked directly.
"The Panlong Kingdom has long been dissatisfied with our Fengqi Kingdom, this time such a good excuse and handle were held by us, our division is famous, even the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom will not support them on the surface.
We can take the opportunity to take down the five cities on the border as a reward for them, expand our population, and also connect the entire border defense together to better defend against foreign enemies.
At the same time, it is also a kind of deterrent, not only against the Panlong Kingdom, but also against the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom. ”
The eldest princess had obviously made a draft before she came, and what she said was quite organized and her thinking was clear.
Ripple nodded after hearing this, and shook her head again, the eldest princess also looked puzzled, not understanding what the mother queen meant.
"First, fighting a war is to burn silver, and the grain, grass, and silver in the treasury are enough to support this war, how long can it last?
Second, you yourself said that the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom will not help each other on the surface, but they can do a lot of things in private and make stumbling blocks in secret, have you already made a prediction about these?
Third, if Panlong Kingdom suffers this loss this time, then they will always think of ways to get back to the field, are you ready to deal with it? ”
Ripples threw these three out directly, causing the eldest princess to fall into deep thought.
"Boss, you go back and think about it, and then come to me to find the Eagle Talisman after all this is smoothed."
Ripple said lightly.
"The courtiers understand!"
The eldest princess immediately nodded in response, she understood that the mother queen agreed to her sending troops, but she just needed her to make a complete battle plan and not fight an unprepared battle.
"Report!"
Someone outside the cool house came to report.
"What?"
"Someone touched the dungeon and tried to assassinate the five princes of the Panlong Kingdom, and the person has been saved by us."
The military attache reported in a deep voice.
"Do you have any casualties?"
Ripple frowned and asked, I didn't expect that this new emperor of the Panlong Kingdom was really ruthless, and the front foot also said that the fifth prince was an envoy, and the back foot arranged someone to assassinate his younger brother.
"Fortunately, the empress made arrangements in advance, and someone came to help, so that the group of people did not succeed, and three people died and twelve were injured on the side of the dungeon."
Ripple nodded, it seemed that the other party was in a hurry.
"Mother, I'll go check on the situation."
"That person can't die on the territory of Fengqi Kingdom."
"Yes!"
After the generals were all gone, Ripple looked at Nan Nan with interest and asked:
"Good grandson, you probably understand what your grandmother said to your mother?"
"I understand some, and some don't."
Nan Nan said with a wink of round eyes.
"Where do you not understand?"
"It's the fifth prince, why can't he die in Fengqi Country? He wants to hurt the imperial grandmother and punish the nine clans! ”
"Grandmother will tell you why."
Ripples smiled and began to solve the puzzles.
"Tasker, are you going to practice trumpet?"
The voice of the stone mortar came out again.
"Be prepared first, if you can't practice the three tubas, just on the trumpet, I've already introduced qi into the body, and there should be no problem if I live for another fifty years, and the trumpet can be practiced."
“.”
That night, the Ripples' secret guard came to pray:
"Empress, the fifth prince was stabbed and injured one of his kidneys, but he was rescued by Mei Yuanzheng, and he is not worried about his life at present.
In addition, there are people around the eldest princess and the second princess who are in contact with the Panlong Kingdom, and it seems that they want to meet the two princesses in private, and the third princess's mansion is sealed, and they can't find anyone, and they are still wandering outside. ”
"I see! Tell Mei Yuanzheng that you must ensure that the fifth prince is alive!
As for the people they sent to contact the Imperial Maiden's Palace, you keep an eye on it, don't startle the snake. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand! The decision of the two princesses."
"Report it to me truthfully, word for word."
Ripple said lightly.
"Yes!"
Leader Feng gave the order and disappeared again.
Five days later, the eldest princess came to see Ripples again with an excerpt, this time she was very well prepared, and the two questions raised by Ripples before were solved, only the last question, the eldest princess had no specific answer.
Finally, after she let everyone around her go out, she lowered her voice and said:
"Mother Emperor, the people of Panlong Kingdom contacted me privately, and wanted me to help them kill the five princes, persuade you to withdraw from the army, and promised to help me ascend to the position of the crown princess, and the courtiers temporarily stabilized them, saying that they should consider it, and they came to ask the mother emperor for advice."
"If you want to ascend to the position of the crown princess in the open, don't think of them as a snake! If you want to get the most benefits, you can deal with them, but people are not stupid, and they won't help you if they don't see the actual benefits. ”
Ripple said bluntly.
"The courtiers understand."
The eldest princess was shocked in her heart, and immediately said in a deep voice.
"Since you've already planned it, I'll give you the Eagle Talisman."
Ripple glanced at Hui Zhi, who stepped forward with a tray on which was placed an eagle-shaped token made of dark iron.
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess, it seems that the mother queen really intends to delegate power.
"The courtiers will definitely not live up to the trust of the mother emperor, and they will definitely tear off a piece of meat from the Panlong Kingdom."
The Grand Empress took the Eagle Talisman and immediately bowed and saluted.
"Go ahead!"
Ripples waved his hand and directly let the eldest princess leave.
The eldest princess achieved her goal and left Zhuo Xiuyuan directly with the eagle talisman.
And the second princess on the other side also received the news, and learned that the mother queen actually handed over the eagle talisman to the eldest sister, she immediately couldn't sit still, if the eldest sister has military merits, what greater achievements can she have.
"Master, the people over there are still waiting for our reply, why don't you take this opportunity to make the eldest princess make a mistake?"
The henchman immediately stepped forward and said.
"Shut up! The mother said that this time you can't make each other stumble, if you let the mother know about it, I will lose my qualification to compete. ”
"The master is angry! We didn't make a stumbling block, it was a normal counterattack of the Panlong Kingdom, the eldest princess couldn't catch the move, it was her problem, what do you have to do? ”
The henchman immediately explained.
The second princess did not immediately veto it this time, but squinted her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
“.”
The eldest princess invited the eagle talisman, and the high-spirited court began to arrange it in full swing, and the details of Panlong Kingdom's private contact with the eldest princess saw that the situation was not right, and immediately prepared to send the news back, but it was directly controlled by the eldest princess, and several small fish that slipped through the net were all pressed down by the phoenix head.
This series of changes was fast and accurate, which made the hearts of the meticulous workers who stayed in contact with the second princess lift, and they hid if the preparation was not right, they didn't want to die yet.
After General Feng Ming on the border of Fengqi Kingdom received the urgent military letter and eagle talisman, the 300,000 troops disbanded the assembly on the second day, making the Panlong Kingdom think that their plan had succeeded, and the matter was over.
As a result, three days later, the soldiers of Fengqi Kingdom, with lightning speed, broke through the defense line of Panlong Kingdom, attacked three cities, and started the first battle.
The Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom also immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Treasures, today is the second day of the college entrance examination! I hope that everyone will perform normally in their studies and be admitted to the university of their choice.
