When Wu Hai arrived at the place where the prince and the others lived, the news from the Southern Empire had not yet arrived. Of course, the news from Li Cong was very fast, because they could synchronize information globally, but the Southern Empire did not have that ability.

, they don’t know what is going on at this moment, they are still immersed in the war just now, many people feel the danger at this time, the danger from the Northern Empire, in their view, this Northern Empire

The empire is really powerful. Their most powerful army can't hold on even for a while. So how can the rest of their army hold on? If the Northern Empire army goes south in a big way, they may really perish. It's not expensive.

There are also some people who don't think so. They think that even if the Northern Empire is very powerful, it will not rush south. It can be said that the two countries have fought countless times in history. It can be said that no one can give the other to anything.

, the most the Northern Empire can do is to focus on the benefits. If this is done with real swords and guns, it will not be beneficial to anyone. Let alone, there are many people who hold this view.w w. v m)

The prince was ready to rest after he came back. He knew that after today's competition, Li Cong and the others would come to negotiate with him quickly, but he really didn't know what to say to them. Do he want to recognize his country's army?

Can't you even solve one-twentieth of other people's armies? In this case, you won't have any chance to speak in the following negotiations. In the future, all matters in the two empires will definitely be decided by the people of the Northern Empire, and you are doomed.

He will become the most shameful crown prince in the Southern Empire. Maybe this crown prince's position will be gone after he goes back. The prince looked at the crown prince's dragon robe on his body. Maybe he won't have him for too long, so he can wear it for a while.

It had been a while, but he obviously didn't expect Li Cong's people to come to the door so soon. When he heard his maid saying that General Wu Hai of the Northern Empire's Rapid Reaction Force, Feng Guo General, came to visit, the first thing he thought of was missing.

The hierarchy of the northern and southern empires is basically the same. Who is General Fengguo? Although he is considered a big official in the eyes of the common people, to himself, a general is nothing, let alone a general.

Are you talking about a small general, Wu Hai? He has no impression of this person. The generals in his country can't remember it, let alone talk about it. General Feng Guo is really inconspicuous to him.

However, the prince is different from ordinary people after all. He soon thought of who this person was. He was a close aide of the Regent Li Cong. He also found someone to investigate some of the origins of this boy. This guy

He is the youngest son of Dingxianghou, the oldest general in the Northern Empire Army, and he has a considerable background.

"General Wu, please come to the living room to speak." After much hesitation, His Highness the Crown Prince still didn't want to give this guy a showdown in his bedroom. Although he now hated everyone in the Northern Empire, he also knew that he was still in their home.

On the territory, with the current military strength of the Northern Empire, they can fall out with the Southern Empire at any time. If they really fall out, the prince himself will definitely be their first target. Maybe they don’t even know how they died.

Well, the Southern Empire doesn't want to fight now, but if the people of the Northern Empire kill the crown prince of the Southern Empire, even if they don't want to fight, they still have to fight. Otherwise, first of all, the people of the Southern Empire will alienate the Southern Empire government.

No, they would not support such a dynasty. They were too timid. Thinking of this, the Crown Prince suddenly felt a little chill all over his body. After sorting out his luxurious clothes, he went to the reception room.

Wu Hai was wearing a military uniform when he came in. The people outside looked at him enough, and Wu Hai didn't feel very comfortable on his face. Speaking of which, if you are a group of beautiful little girls, I will stand there and tell you to look at him enough.

, but you are all men. It’s okay to see what you guys do. Isn’t there something wrong with your brain? Now when I arrived at the reception room and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming in, Wu Hai quickly stood up and saluted. Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in in casual clothes. This Wu Hai

He was also not allowed to wear military uniforms, but Wu Hai had no intention of respecting him at this moment, so he sat down without waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to speak. Wu Hai's family has been in the military for generations, and this man who died at the hands of the Southern Empire's army was

Quite a few, this guy said that it was impossible not to have any opinions about the people of the Southern Empire.

"General Wu, what's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?" Although Wu Hai is considered a very powerful figure in the Northern Empire, he has not been able to catch the eye of His Highness the Crown Prince, so His Highness the Crown Prince came up without any greetings.

, in his opinion, it is good that he can give this boy time to meet him. Besides, the prince is not here to give you face, but to give face to Li Cong behind you. The prince's indifference to him also makes him

Understand, the prince is still very concerned about this guy not kneeling down to salute him. This can be regarded as a small nail for you.

Wu Hai used to be a reckless man, but he is definitely not that now. He could tell at a glance that His Highness the Crown Prince did not want to see him. He originally wanted to say it in a more tactful way. Since you, old man, see us so

If you don’t like it, I can’t say more about it. As for whether you can bear it, you can consider it yourself. “Your Highness, there are many things in the general’s army, but this matter is really too important.

One o'clock, so I came over to tell His Highness the Crown Prince quickly that we have just received a military intelligence report from the front line. In a place near Yuchang County, one of our cavalry squads clashed with an army of your country.

Because one of our generals did not obey the order, the conflict became serious. Now our army has occupied Yuchang County. Your Majesty means that the top leaders of both sides can sit down to discuss this matter in the afternoon. We still have something in our hands.

There are tens of thousands of your prisoners." Wu Hai finished his words quickly and was about to continue, when he suddenly realized that the prince seemed to be dumbfounded, so it would be better to be kind and let him digest the news.

"How...how could such a thing happen? General Wu, you...how could you do this? This is too much." It took His Highness a minute to say this. This encounter

His ability to adapt to major events was really poor. Wu Hai felt that he was much stronger than this guy. Why couldn't he be as good as a small general like himself? Can such a person become the emperor of the Southern Empire in the future? Stop talking nonsense.

"Your Highness, it is very regrettable for us that such a thing happened. Our investigators have already gone to Yuchang County. As for the specific situation, it is not convenient for us to say for the time being. I hope that you can do the same, Your Highness."

Hurry up and understand the situation on the front line. The situation is urgent and I still have a lot of things to do. I'm leaving." After Wu Hai finished speaking, he didn't give this guy a chance to speak and then went out, leaving the so-called prince sitting with a blank look on his face.

Your Highness.

Soon the emperor's uncle and others also knew about this matter. After all, what was the prince doing in such a small courtyard? It was impossible for these people not to know. They would definitely prick up their ears to listen to what was going on inside.

.At this moment, they did not feel that the prince was embarrassed, because they were also very shocked when they knew the news. The first thought was that the war had broken out, but they quickly rejected their idea. If the war had already broken out,

Otherwise, they would not let a general come to talk about the situation on the front line. In fact, they are also very disgusted with the word front line used by Wu Hai. Your front line is in Guangming City. How can it end up with us? We are with you there.

It's a border line, how can it be related to the front line?

Why do they say that the Betting War is about to break out? If the people in the Northern Empire insist on launching a war, it is impossible to send any generals to explain the situation. They probably want this method to tell the Southern Empire. In fact, they still have

A lot of strength has not been revealed. It would not be very difficult to kill you. Thinking of this, they sadly found that they would actually be a little bit happy, because if the people of the Northern Empire directly sent troops to the Southern Empire, they would definitely

They will be held here as hostages. When the war is over, they may be sent back as commodities. You must know that the status of these people who came this time is not low, and they were captured. This

Some parts of the Southern Empire will definitely be paralyzed for a while, but there are also many people who will be very happy. Just like the prince, if he is detained in the Northern Empire, then the prince's seat will definitely not be his, no.

I've heard that the princes in the country will be captured and become the prince. The princes in the country may be extremely happy. Even if the prince goes back in the future, he won't have much status. Maybe the emperor will have changed when this guy goes back. By that time

Maybe he will pray that he will stay in the Northern Empire forever. After all, he can still live here. Although the emperor of the Southern Empire is his brother, he may not let this guy stay because he is the former prince.

Coming down with his head on the ground is this guy's final outcome.

"I... do we have any news? What is going on over there in Yuchang County? Is it true that they have captured it just like Wu Hai said?" The prince saw the room full of people.

He finally regained some of his majesty as a prince. Otherwise, it would be difficult for this guy to control his trembling arms. Originally, he came to negotiate peace with the people of the Northern Empire, but now it seems that he may not be qualified to negotiate soon.

The domestic side should know about the front line, so they may send a new negotiating ambassador immediately. This place is really far away from the Southern Empire. Even if the new negotiating partner comes quickly, it will take at least two days.

Months, these two months are absolutely difficult for people like the prince.

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, we don't have any news to prove that Yuchang County City has been captured by them, but we have seen this important news from the newspapers outside. This is today's newspaper. Please come to your Majesty the Crown Prince.

"Read it." The prince's attendant said, holding a copy of today's newspaper. They only saw this thing when they arrived in the Northern Empire. Generally speaking, this thing is quite good. You can even find some from it.

The news about the Southern Empire made people like the prince buy a copy every day. Many people did not throw it away after reading it. Instead, they stored all the newspapers. The servants collected them because there was a medal collection activity.

As long as you can get the 200-cent medal from the newspaper of that year, you can exchange it for some exquisite gifts. Naturally, the collection of the upper class is not that simple. They don't care about gifts worth more than a dozen gold coins. What they are interested in is the ones above.

The news can be taken out and carefully considered in the future when necessary.

"Published in the newspaper? It seems that this news should be true. His Royal Highness, the Emperor, our intelligence agency has investigated this newspaper. This newspaper publishes approximately 100 pages in dozens of big cities in the Northern Empire every day.

Nearly three million copies have been sold. If this is not true, they would not dare to publish it like that. I think our Yuchang County must have fallen." Marquis Kari thought for a while and said. "Yuchang County is with us.

At the border between the two countries, this area has achieved great development due to foreign trade. It can be said that there is nothing easy to defend or difficult to attack in Yuchang County. If the Northern Empire uses the things they used yesterday to attack the city, they can take it within a few hours.

Yuchang County is not a difficult task, but His Royal Highness does not need to worry. We have known for a long time that Yuchang County cannot be saved. Therefore, there will definitely be preparations within the empire. Most of the supplies should have been shipped back by now.

.Our defense line against the Empire is still more than 500 miles south of Yuchang County. Being captured here will not have much impact on our entire empire." Marquis Cary is a military person.

There is still a market for it.

At first glance, everyone heard that it did not have much impact on their empire. Many people did not know this matter, but two people like the emperor's uncle and the prince knew that the Supreme Military Council was held before they left the Southern Empire. They

They all also participated. The five counties and cities located outside the defense line were basically the counties and cities that the Southern Empire wanted to abandon. When they came out, the materials in these counties and cities began to be evacuated, and many people insisted on leaving some that could not be removed.

To destroy it, the Emperor of the Southern Empire felt that these places would still be the territory of the Southern Empire sooner or later, so he just let the Northern Empire keep them first. Even so, a large amount of supplies were basically taken away, and the Northern Empire

Even if they occupy a few counties and cities, they won't get much benefit. But the speed of the Northern Empire really scared the people of the Southern Empire. There was no sign at all. How could they move the army from there so quickly?

What about the dispatch from the north?

Highway!! This is what they thought of. Indeed, no matter what kind of transportation is on the highway, it will be much faster. The people in the Northern Empire must have used this thing, and they were relieved when they thought of this. Since the Northern Empire

The empire has already shown its fangs and will definitely raise the price now. They discussed how to deal with Li Cong in the afternoon and then they went out. They also had to arrange their own affairs.

Yes, they are all well-connected people in the Northern Empire. If they are really captured, they must make their lives better.

Indeed, they did not achieve great results after capturing Yuchang County. All the warehouses in the entire county had been emptied out long ago, and there was nothing left except some grain and other food. This grain was

The Northern Empire also has a lot of these things. There is no shortage of these things at all. Li Cong also sighed. It seems that he underestimated these people from the Southern Empire. They are also very smart people and want to have them in their hands.

It's not that easy to take advantage of others. Besides, it was a surprise attack, so I didn't get any benefits. If this fight started openly, it would definitely be even less profitable, but what can be obtained in the negotiation should be correspondingly important.

A little more. If the millions of Southern Empire troops in Guangming City are controlled, it will be more convenient for them to negotiate in the afternoon. Meng Tian will take action in Guangming City in five minutes. I don’t know if

Can it succeed? That's millions of troops. If it succeeds, I'm not afraid that the Southern Empire will not exchange territory and money for it. But if it doesn't succeed, the savage tribe will probably make a comeback if they know the news about human internal strife. Although

They are now on their own, but the Snake Queen is still very popular. If this woman contacts people everywhere, the war in Guangming City may really start again. By then, she will not get anything, and she may still be a hero.

Become a sinner.

In Guangming City, this place is different from the imperial capital of the Northern Empire and the border areas of the two empires. It is located in the north, and the news is very congested. Even newspapers, which are already popular in the empire, are not here.

It was a few days ago, but many sergeants still like the content above. Naturally, a soldier will not spend one gold coin a day to buy a newspaper. You must know that they only have three to five hundred gold coins a year.

Salary, this is Li Cong's personal army. Other armies have thirty or fifty gold coins a year. They can't afford this thing at all, but the soldiers also have their own ways.

Just because they can't afford it doesn't mean that a group of people can't afford it. Besides, not many of the soldiers can write, so they only have dozens of people pooling their money to buy one. This averages out to about two silver coins per person, which is good for them.

It is said to be affordable. Of course, it is still very expensive for those local armies, but it doesn't matter. After their first-line troops have read it, they can sell it to these second-line troops at half price, and even third-hand or even

Fourth-hand, carbon copy is not allowed. Imperial law does not allow it, but you have memorized all the above. It is okay to send this in the form of a storyteller. The army did not notice this at the beginning.

Later, I thought that the army is also very boring. We can specially arrange some eloquent soldiers to be the storytellers. The hour after lunch every day is the time for them to explain the newspaper. This time is definitely what the soldiers look forward to.

It's time.

It’s time to finish lunch today, and a large number of soldiers are waiting for the storyteller’s arrival at their gathering place. Of course, Li Cong’s troops do not need to wait. They already knew about it when they rested in the morning.

, now they are all fully armed in their tents. The Invincible Battalion and several of Li Cong's personal troops, about 300,000 people, are already ready. There are also people coming from the Guangming North City on the periphery.

Two hundred thousand troops cooperated with them. Their mission was to disarm these Southern Empire allies during the reading time after lunch, and then strictly control them.

"Attention, today's mission is top secret. We will be responsible for the southern camp of the Southern Empire Army later. Everyone, cheer up. When the time comes, keep an eye on me. No one can escape.

Anyone who dares to come out will be killed immediately." The general whispered to his several generals. The generals also nodded and went to the deputy general to see where they were responsible. To be honest, these Southern Empire troops
