Liu was thinking deeply, but after hearing this, his face changed.

She knew that over the years, her husband was also secretly preparing for power. However, twenty years have passed, Duanmu Xuan has been firmly in the imperial city and all parties surrender. On the contrary, many forces that surrendered to her husband were either eradicated or turned away. Relying on Duanmuxuan, he worked hard for twenty years, but in the end he was still unable to fight against the emperor.

This will inevitably lead to depression. If it continues like this, it would not be a good thing. However, Duanmu Xuan has been looking for the right opportunity to eliminate the last cancer that affects his imperial power. If Duanmu Xuan is allowed to continue to manipulate it like this, Sooner or later, the husband will become a victim of war.

If it is true that as this young man said, Qinglan Kingdom can support her husband, then as long as she invades Bazhou Kingdom and occupy land, her power will be greatly enhanced. By then, Duanmu Xuan will not be able to stop her husband's power from expanding. It's right.

After thinking about it, Liu said, "Then must we take action or report this matter of military service?"

Chen Chen smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the so-called general is outside, and the king will not give any advice. Besides, as long as you capture Hutou City in Bingzhou, His Highness Yushan King will become the first to attack in your country in eight hundred years. The meritorious minister of the Bazhou Kingdom, at that time, would Emperor Duanmu still blame Your Highness? I am afraid that he will regret giving this position of general to Your Highness at that time, but it will be too late at that time. With enough power, our country will definitely send troops to assist His Highness. I don’t believe that Emperor Duanmu can withstand the attack of our two sides. At that time, His Highness will become the emperor of a country, and the empress can also get her wish and all kinds of rare treasures. There are everything in the palace of strange treasures, and His Highness the Prince can also become the next emperor, and no longer worry about the future being unsecured."

This finally inspired the ambitious Liu. Indeed, the position of queen was the greatest dream of her life. What's more, over the years, her love for her son has inspired her mother. Allow any misfortune to happen to the son.

Liu nodded and said, "Let's do this, when I go back, I will talk to Your Highness tonight."

"Thank you, I'm waiting for the good news in the inn." Chen Chen bowed slightly and retreated.

Liu opened the wooden box again, looked at the jade with flickering lights, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Flying Phoenix Stone, it seems that my future is not yet final."

That night, Liu blew the wind beside Duanmuye's ear. Naturally, she would not say that she had received a heavy gift and spoke to Qinglanguo, but that she could only hear some wind from the guards.

Duanmu Ye is actually a war between heaven and man. I don’t know whether to cooperate with Qinglan Kingdom or let the situation develop like this. Under Liu’s persuasion and depiction of the future, Duanmu Ye’s long-silent ambition was finally aroused. , After all, he was born a prince, and once his ambitions aroused, they would be out of control.

The next morning, Duanmu Ye sent someone to the inn and invited Chen Chen to the living room of the royal mansion. Of course, the princess Liu was also accompanied by the princess.

When Chen Chen entered, he saw the two of them. Then the hall was closed and there were many guards outside, making this place an airtight room.

Duanmu Ye said in a deep voice: "Sir Chen, I have thought about what you said the day before yesterday and felt that it is indeed reasonable. However, all of this is based on the premise of being able to invade Bazhou. I think, the second prince Your Highness sent you this trip, so you should have explained your detailed strategy, right?"

Chen Chen took out a stack of paper from his arms, and then spread it on the table. The pictures on the paper suddenly showed the cities on the border between the two countries.

Then, Chen Chen pointed to the Hutou City in Bingzhou and said, "This Hutou City is the last line of defense in Bingzhou. Once Hutou City is broken, the remaining county towns and Bingzhou City can be easily taken into account. The problem is that Hu Toutou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the last line of defense constructed with it as its core is also very solid. I believe that Your Highness knows the power of Tioutou City the most."

Duanmu Ye nodded and said, "Hutou City is also called the half-mountain city. Because its terrain is as high as a mountainside, it is very difficult to attack, and the defense is extremely simple. In history, our team has attacked this city no less than a hundred times, but They all returned without success. What method does the Second Prince have to capture this Hutou City?"

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Your Highness should know that the reason why our country can successfully attack twice in a row and seize the three counties of Jiangzhou and Bingzhou is that the focus of the defense of Bazhou is on the north side, and the one who is guarding against your country. , so we can easily capture the city.”

"But now the two countries have started war. Even though there is a truce in the war, as a Bingzhou fortress, this Hutou City is probably guarding against the movements of your Qinglan Kingdom." Liu said.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "As the princess said, Hutou City is indeed guarding against the movements on our side, but first of all, since the establishment of Hutou City, the focus of its city defense is on the north wall and the south wall It is its weakness, and it has not improved. After all, the founder of the city would never have thought that he would be attacked behind his back. And now, the news of the negotiations between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Bazhou has probably spread to Bingzhou, waiting for those generals I heard that the two countries were about to make peace, so naturally I would not pay so much attention to our country's troops in Bingzhou. At this time, if they found that the border area had your country's troops moving, the focus of natural observation would shift to The border comes."

"Is it a strategy to attack the west? It is a matter of attracting their attention, but how do you attack Hutou City?" Duanmuye asked seriously.

Chen Chen pointed his hand at the place outside Hutou City and said, "Now the Bingzhou vanguard General Qin Dou has been dependent on His Highness, which means that the Bingzhou army is within the control of His Highness. Please look at a great road outside the city, according to Information: Recently, there will be a convoy of escorts to Hutou City. The people escorts in this convoy are all selected from nearby counties, so the people in Hutou City do not recognize them. Moreover, according to the regulations of Bazhou State, they are also It is to recognize orders but not people. As long as we send people to set up an ambush on this road and deal with the team escorting food and grass without knowing it, we can disguise ourselves as teams transporting food and entering Hutou City.”

Liu's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea. After all, under this situation, no one would have expected anyone to attack the food and grass team."

"What then?" Duanmu Ye couldn't help asking again.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "According to regulations, the grain transport team usually transports grain and grass to the city, and only allows us to spend one night in the city, and this night is enough to make us take action against its grain and grass warehouse."

"If the grain and grass warehouse is burned, it will definitely cause chaos in the army." Duanmu Ye said with a ray of eyes.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "That's true, so that our people can take the opportunity to attack the defenders in the south of the city. As long as the gate is opened, the army can rush in. At the same time, your army can attack from the north. To restrain our opponents, either we will enter from the south, or your army will break through the city gate and enter. In short, no matter how strong the city is, it cannot withstand the attack inside and outside, and it will definitely be destroyed."

Duanmu Ye nodded repeatedly when he heard this, his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and he asked Liu, "What do you think Madam?"

Liu asked Chen Chen: "Now the empress dowager of your country is still in the imperial city. The military suddenly made this move. Even if His Highness the Second Prince ascended the throne, he would be scolded and fell into an unjust place. .”

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, but Your Highness has considered it. In fact, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are seeking peace with Bazhou. This is obviously a suspicion of sanctioning the country. Not only do you want to take office, you will naturally have to bleed and sacrifice, but you must also use toughness. Therefore, after taking over Hutou City, he could announce the world that Empress Dowager Yan's trip was to cede land and seek peace, and thus naturally became the target of the people of our country. As for how the Emperor of Bazhou dealt with her, it would not be It's our business."

"What a magic move. This is not his mother. His second prince is really good at it." Duanmu Ye laughed.

Chen Chen grinned and said, "All the ages, in order to ascend to the throne and become emperor, there are many people who have killed their own brothers. They want to become emperors. If they do not have such determination and skills, they can only become victims of imperial power. Your Highness, as the royal family, , either life or death!”

Duanmu Ye's eyes gradually became solemn, and there was a bit of determination. The temptation of the supreme imperial power took root in his heart. After twenty years of silence, it finally broke out again.

Seeing her husband's thoughts, Liu said, "Your Highness, I think this plan is indeed feasible. Since the Second Prince is so sincere, then we should not miss others' intentions."

Duanmu Ye nodded and said, "How many people do you have in Bingzhou now?"

Chen Chen said, "There are 300,000 troops in Bingzhou. In order not to be suspected by the other party, they can only withdraw small groups of troops from each city, and the combined number is 60,000 to 70,000. Of course, if there are still people, I'm afraid it's easy to alert the snake."

Duanmu Ye didn't doubt it, and said seriously: "It's better to be cautious. If there are 60,000 or 70,000 people, it's almost enough. Let's put the main force on our side. Huanglong City has 100,000 troops, and the surrounding four cities have three. For 50,000, it should be no problem to draw a team of 100,000 people."

"That's great. In this case, Hutou City will be taken down!" Chen Chen pretended to be overjoyed.

Liu smiled slightly and said, "Sergeant Chen, I wonder if your country's highness has mentioned that if this is the question of how to allocate the land of Bazhou?"
