Chapter 206 Let's cooperate and kill Chen Changfeng
Not only Chen Qingzhi and Liu Shuwen, but also the frontier generals standing nearby looked surprised and suspicious at this moment.
News also came out yesterday that the third prince personally swore that he would kill the prince Chen Changfeng.
As a result, Chen Changfeng not only refused to investigate whether this matter was true or false, but actually left such an important matter to the third prince.
Isn't this a joke?
Many frontier generals wanted to stop Chen Changfeng from doing this, but they heard Chen Changfeng say: "I know what you are thinking, but no matter what, Third Brother and I are brothers. Although there were misunderstandings between us before,
But now that we are facing a powerful enemy, Third Brother will definitely put the future of the Ming Empire first, just like me."
"So I am extremely relieved to leave this matter to the third brother."
Chen Changfeng's attitude was very sincere.
Many generals sighed in their hearts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chen Changfeng was really more than a little bit stronger than the third prince.
If they were in Chen Changfeng's position, they would never leave the important matter of embankment excavation to the third prince so easily.
The third prince didn't say anything, he just cupped his hands slightly and turned to leave.
The generals also left separately, preparing to force Li Feng to send out men to fight tomorrow.
Liu Shuwen did not leave. After Chen Qingzhi went out, he walked up to Chen Changfeng and said, "It is not the real purpose of His Highness the Crown Prince to dig up the embankments of the Han River and flood Yong'an City."
Liu Shuwen knew Chen Changfeng well, and he wanted to kill the third prince more than anyone else.
How could it be possible for the third prince to lead the army to dig a river embankment?
Why should Chen Changfeng let an absolutely loyal subordinate like Chen Qingzhi handle this most critical part of the entire plan?
It is very illogical to leave it to the third prince.
But Liu Shuwen couldn't figure it out. If it was just to lure the third prince into conspiring with Li Fengxian so as to capture the third prince, wouldn't it be too time-consuming?
They only have one month. Even if they take care of the third prince by then, once Da Chu reinforcements arrive, it will be the end of their Ming border army.
Such a plan is indeed a bit strange.
"What does the military advisor think my real purpose is?" Chen Changfeng smiled slightly and looked at Liu Shuwen.
Liu Shuwen shook his head, he had not yet figured out Chen Changfeng's plan.
"Can the Crown Prince send someone to monitor His Highness?" Liu Shuwen asked.
"No." Chen Changfeng shook his head.
Liu Shuwen was stunned for a moment, looking into Chen Changfeng's eyes and seeing that his expression was as usual, he couldn't help but feel even more confused.
Let the third prince lead the troops to dig the embankment, and not even send anyone to monitor. Isn't that clearly asking the third prince to contact Li Fengxian?
When Li Fengxian knows Chen Changfeng's plan, will he still allow the embankment digging plan to be successfully implemented?
This is impossible!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Military advisor, Xue Rengui is warlike, but he lacks battlefield experience. You go to the battlefield tomorrow and keep an eye on him. Don't let him mess around." Chen Changfeng interrupted Liu Shuwen, then turned and left.
Liu Shuwen's face was full of doubts. He wanted to ask Chen Changfeng what his plan was, but Chen Changfeng didn't give him a chance at all.
…
The third prince felt a little uneasy because Chen Changfeng was behaving strangely.
This guy who had always wanted to kill him and whom he had always wanted to kill could actually act so generously.
The third prince believed that Chen Changfeng would never say that he would ignore his past grudges against him.
He had plotted against Chen Changfeng several times, and it was absolutely impossible for his murderous intention to disappear.
But just now, Chen Changfeng actually agreed to his plan to dig a dike.
The third prince was a little puzzled.
He was originally thinking that he was also the commander-in-chief of the border army appointed by the emperor, but now that he was back, no matter what, his identity was still there.
I also wanted to try to see if I could regain control of the border army.
But when the third prince approached the hall and heard the attitude of the generals toward Chen Changfeng, he knew that it was impossible for him to regain power as he was now.
After hearing about Chen Changfeng's plan to deal with Li Fengxian, the third prince immediately appeared and asked to lead troops to dig the embankment.
The third prince thought that Chen Changfeng would never agree to his request, but strangely, Chen Changfeng really agreed.
"Your Highness." Liu Shenyan walked into the room and his eyes fell on the third prince.
The third prince turned back: "Do you know everything that happened just now?"
"Got it." Liu Shenyan nodded. He was also a general of the border army. Although he did not go to the scene, he could always learn about the situation from other generals.
"Chen Changfeng promised to let me dig the embankment, what do you think?" the third prince asked, his eyebrows hesitating.
After a month of imprisonment and physical injuries, the third prince became much calmer.
"Chen Changfeng's ill will towards the Third Highness will definitely not disappear. Perhaps this time, His Highness was asked to lead the army to dig the embankment just to test the Third Highness."
"Once His Highness spreads this matter, Chen Changfeng will definitely use it as an excuse to deal with His Highness."
"When Chen Changfeng killed the fourth prince before, he did so on the grounds that the fourth prince had harmed the black-armored guards. His subordinates felt that he might want to repeat his same tactics." Liu Shenyan looked cautious.
The fourth prince was caught by Chen Changfeng and he was killed at will.
If the third prince really leaks the news and is caught by Chen Changfeng, Chen Changfeng will have enough excuses by then.
And the third prince would not be given a chance to defend himself.
The third prince's heart suddenly agitated. His most urgent thing now is to want Chen Changfeng to die.
As for other things, they are not as important as this matter.
He can even choose to cooperate with Li Fengxian, as long as Chen Changfeng dies.
But Liu Shenyan's words just now made the third prince worried. What if the dike digging incident was really a trap set by Chen Changfeng?
Li Fengxian was fine by then, but Chen Changfeng caught him...
"Your Highness, I have a plan." Liu Shenyan suddenly spoke, leaving the Third Prince stunned.
…
In Yong'an City, Li Fengxian looked at Liu Shenyan in front of him with a scrutinizing look on his face.
Xu Gongmao sat aside, holding the letter Li Fengxian handed him.
"Chen Changfeng wants to dig up the embankments of Hanjiang River and flood Yong'an City?" Xu Gongmao frowned and put down the letter in his hand.
"That's right." Liu Shenyan nodded slightly.
"Bold maniac, do you really think that I, the Great Chu Tiejun, are easy to bully?" Xu Gongmao was furious when he heard this and slammed the table.
Li Feng first waved his hand to signal Xu Gongmao to sit down.
"Chen Changfeng's plan is really a vicious one. If he succeeds, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chu will definitely be unable to escape." Li Fengxian smiled slightly, then suddenly his expression changed, and he stared at Liu Shenyan:
"Why did you tell us such a vicious plot?"
Liu Shenyan was not afraid either. He was entrusted by the third prince to discuss cooperation with Li Fengxian.
"The Divine General suffered a lot at the hands of Chen Changfeng. Even the Ninth Prince of Chu died because of Chen Changfeng. The Divine General will not be able to escape the blame when the time comes." Liu Shenyan said slowly.
Li Fengxian's face gradually darkened.
The death of the Ninth Prince will definitely be held accountable by the Emperor.
Unless Chen Changfeng, the culprit, is killed, otherwise...
"What do you want to say?" Li Fengxian looked at Liu Shenyan with cold eyes.
Liu Shenyan smiled slightly: "The Third Highness has already said in the letter that we will cooperate and join hands to kill Chen Changfeng."
"At that time, the Divine General will not be held accountable by the Great Chu court, and my Third Highness will be able to vent his anger on himself."
Li Fengxian's eyes softened slightly.
Killing Chen Changfeng was what he wanted to do day and night.
At first, he only thought that Chen Changfeng was an ignorant prince who would be nothing more than a waste even if he came to the battlefield.
But Chen Changfeng defeated Li Fengxian again and again.
The Overlord Army was lost, the Ninth Prince was killed, and Yongding City was even lost.
As long as Chen Changfeng is not dead, Li Fengxian will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"How to cooperate?"
"I will send troops to stop the digging of river embankments?" Li Fengxian frowned.
