Jia Xu deduce everything in just a few words, with a hint of doubt on his face. He looked at Ning Fan and said softly: "Your Highness, what happened in the army?"

"Sir, he knows things like a god, I admire him!"

Although Ning Fan had a smile on his face, he was extremely surprised in his heart. He was indeed a think tank with an intelligence of 97. Not to mention strategizing, this reasoning alone was enough to make people look at him in a new light!

"If I remember correctly, the commander-in-chief of the Western Camp is Chen Fang, the direct descendant of the four prominent families of Dayu, the Chen family, and the former deputy commander of the Forbidden Army!"

"Could it be that this matter concerns the family?"

"Or maybe General Chen Fang is in the army..."

Jia Xu's brows furrowed into a frown. Being able to alert His Majesty to block the news was obviously a serious matter. Could there be any trouble among the new army?

I'm afraid this direct descendant of the Chen family has caused some trouble!

"Sir, would you like to enter my palace, Prince Xuanyong?"

"Xu, meet my lord!"

Upon hearing Ning Fan's invitation, Jia Xu knelt down and saluted without hesitation, and directly changed his title to lord, declaring that he was his master!

"Haha, Wen He doesn't need to be polite. Now I am lacking a mastermind with unparalleled wisdom and extraordinary strategies like Wen He!"

"With your help today, I feel like a fish in water and like a tiger with wings!"

"My lord, you are serious!"

Jia Xu first smiled modestly, and then asked solemnly: "My lord, what happened in the military camp?"

After Ning Fan recounted what happened in the camp, Jia Xu's expression gradually became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family. It is entirely because Chen Fang was bewitched by the woman in Hongxiu Zhao!"

"good!"

Ning Fan also said leisurely: "However, I am curious as to which family's power this red-sleeved move belongs to!"

Jia Xu looked at Ning Fan and asked softly: "My lord, do you ever know the general trend of the world?"

"I know it!"

Ning Fan pondered and said: "My Dayu is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. There are many powerful countries in the four directions. In the north, there are the Mobei Bayi tribe, which harass them all the year round. In the west, there is the Dayan Kingdom, which is watching with eager eyes. And in the south..."

"The ancient southern barbarian country has been coveting the Central Plains for these years and wants to open the door to the southern territory of my great Yu!"

"The Eastern Territory, the Eastern Huai Kingdom, is the sworn enemy of my Dayu. They have been conducting conquests all year round and have accumulated grudges for a long time!"

"Not bad!" Jia Xu nodded appreciatively and chuckled: "My lord has also left out one place, I, Dayu, am the land of Huainan!"

"Huainan!"

Ning Fan suddenly focused his eyes. There were five kingdoms in the Central Plains. The three kingdoms bordered Dayu, namely the Dayan Kingdom, the Donghuai Kingdom and the Li Kingdom. The southern border of Dayu was the southern steppe dynasty and the ancient Nanman Kingdom!

Li Kingdom is located in the southwest of Dayu, bordering the fifteen states of Huainan of Dayu!

In the early years, when the late emperor was in power, when Dayu was at war with Donghuai, the Li Kingdom took advantage of the situation and went northward, invading the hinterland of Dayu and conquering five counties. The southern border was in danger!

Lu Kan, who was the general of Pingnan at the time, asked for orders to go to war. He led an army of 150,000 and defeated the Li army. Not only did he recapture the five counties of Dayu, he also invaded the hinterland of Li country and conquered seventeen cities!

At that time, the limelight was unprecedented, the government and the public were shocked, and the Li Kingdom sued for peace!

Lu Kan came from a distinguished family and had great influence in the government and the public. All the ministers asked for orders to be crowned king. Moreover, Lu Kan had a heavy army. Not only did he hold Yu's 150,000 main army, but he also gathered more than 100,000 surrendered troops.

Death!

Three hundred thousand troops are entrenched in Huainan, and even the imperial court is extremely afraid of them.

Some people even thought that the Lu family was disloyal. By then, Yu's main army would be in the east. Once Lu Kan sent his troops north, the huge Yu dynasty would probably collapse in an instant!

The late emperor was unable to get off the tiger, so he had no choice but to make an exception and make Lu Kan the king of Huainan. He divided the counties into prefectures and took over the land of Huainan. He obeyed the instructions but not the propaganda!

Over the years, the relationship between the land of Huainan and the imperial court has been very delicate. It can be said that both sides are trying to maintain a balance. Dayu's borders are unstable, and his main forces are on the border. Over the years, he has barely defended his territory and has been unable to open up borders!

As Huainan borders the Li Kingdom, they dare not act rashly. The imperial court awards Huainan rewards every year. After Emperor Yu succeeded to the throne, he was also very wary of the southern border!

"What Wen He means is that behind the red sleeve move is the southwest?"

"not necessarily!"

Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said softly: "Although the King of Huainan supports his troops and respects himself, if he is really allowed to raise troops to rebel, I am afraid he will not have the courage. Otherwise, he will not have to wait so many years."

"And Hongxiu Zhao dares to attack the new army camp so blatantly, where will I, Dayu's secret guard, be placed!"

"The Man God Temple of the ancient Southern Barbarian Kingdom has been active in the southern border area in recent years, but they never dare to reach out to the capital!"

"So, according to my guess, Donghuai should be behind this red sleeve move!"

"Oh?" Ning Fan had a look of confusion on his face: "Why can't it be Li Country?"

"Haha!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Ever since the King of Huainan captured the seventeen cities of the Li Kingdom, the national power of the Li Kingdom has gradually weakened, and over the years, it has been at war with the Dayan Kingdom all year round!"

"With the wisdom of Empress Da Li, she will never turn against me, Dayu, at this time!"

"And there is no connection of any interest!"

"Therefore, my subordinates guess that the person behind this red-sleeved move should be Donghuai!"

"I see!"

An idea flashed in Ning Fan's mind. Three months ago, the three great princes of Dayu marched eastward and fought fiercely with Donghuai in Huaining City. Now, the stalemate has lasted for three months, and each has its own victory or defeat!

Both sides continue to invest more troops, and now it is obvious that the decisive battle has arrived. If Donghuai can capture Huaining City, it will have the potential to swallow up Dayu. If Dayu wins this battle, the Eastern Border will be at least three to five times more stable.

Year!

Now it seems that Donghuai has obviously used a lot of information, and even did not hesitate to infiltrate from the inside!

"It seems that Donghuai has spent a lot of money this time!"

"I, Dayu, have all three iron-blooded veterans marching eastward. This battle is the battle to establish the country!"

"If Donghuai wants to capture Huaining City, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
Chapter completed!
