Commander Crow's breath was suffocated. Gu Chen actually knew so much about the Lan Kingdom. This was so surprising.
Among the princes of the Lan Kingdom, that is, His Highness Wu Lie's cousins, the third prince has indeed always been difficult to deal with.
The relationship between the two had not been good since childhood, and Wu Liegui was the prince of Dasheng, and he repeatedly suppressed the third prince, which made the other party resentful.
Prince Yanyang once visited the Lan Kingdom and sent people to contact the third prince. They all knew about this matter.
But they had never heard of the news that Qiankun would intend to support the third prince to ascend to power!
However, Gu Chen spoke with certainty and seemed to have a very clear grasp of the situation, which made Commander Crow's heart become heavy.
Just look at how the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Cang fell into the hands of Prince Yanyang, and you will understand that supporting the third prince who is hostile to His Highness Wu Lie to ascend to power is completely in line with the Qiankun Society's style!
The fact that the throne of King Lan is currently unresolved has greatly damaged His Highness Wu Lie's prestige. If the third prince succeeds to the throne and then publicly declares his support for Prince Yanyang, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As an envoy, Commander Crow should have tried to make Gu Chen feel at ease as an ally, but at this moment, he himself became uneasy.
If the third prince really succeeds to the throne as King Lan and restarts the offensive against Pei State under the instructions of someone who is interested, then Pei State may not be able to maintain its alliance with Brother Wulie in order to protect itself.
Gu Chen looked worried and said: Your Majesty, the Lan State is fond of martial arts and has coveted the Pei State's granary for a long time. Can you understand Pei State's difficulties?
Commander Crow was speechless. Could he say he didn't understand? What the other party said was absolutely correct!
If the Lan Kingdom really surrenders to Prince Yanyang, then His Highness Wu Lie is really doomed. No wonder the Pei Kingdom abandons him.
In fact, Pei Guo still insisted on the alliance at this time, which can be regarded as a timely help.
The barren land of the Lan State has always coveted the Pei State. Prince Yanyang will most likely persuade the Lan State to attack the Pei State and force the Pei State to surrender to him.
Even if Pei Guo surrendered at that time, it would probably be too late and would be given as a gift to the supporters of Prince Yanyang.
Therefore, Pei Guo is already interesting enough that no one can criticize him harshly!
I understand what Mr. Chen means, and I will convey it to His Highness Wu Lie. Commander Crow was deeply worried at the moment, so he could only say this.
Faced with the situation in front of him, does His Highness Wu Lie have any thoughts or ideas? Gu Chen asked again.
General Crow is silent, Qiankun will attack so quickly and accurately, killing His Highness Wu Lie by surprise, how can the situation be easily reversed?
If His Highness Wu Lie had his way, he wouldn't be so angry that he would smash a bunch of things.
I do have an idea here that can prevent the upcoming crisis for Pei Country, and maybe it can also help Brother Wu Lie reverse the situation.
Gu Chen's sudden change of topic made Commander Crow's eyes light up.
What do you think Mr. Chen has to say? He asked excitedly.
Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative! Gu Chen's eyes sparkled.
What does it mean?
Since the Lan Kingdom will send troops to the Pei Kingdom sooner or later, it is better for the Pei Kingdom to take the initiative while the Lan Kingdom is in disarray.
Brother Wu Lie has great influence in the Lan Kingdom. If he continues to let people secretly support him, I believe that the Pei Kingdom can at least capture several counties in the Lan Kingdom.
When the Lan Kingdom faces the danger of subjugation, King Pei will be able to influence King Lan's successor. King Pei's influence over the Lan Kingdom means that Brother Wu Lie regains his influence.
I would like to ask if Pei Guo used the withdrawal of troops as a condition to prevent the third prince from succeeding to the throne, can the third prince still succeed to the throne? Can the plan of Qiankunhui and Prince Yanyang still succeed?
As long as this situation is broken, the seven countries will think that Brother Wu Lie has stabilized the situation again, and Brother Wu Lie still has a chance to become a leader!
Gu Chen was talking eloquently, and Commander Crow listened attentively. After hearing this, excitement appeared on his face.
Mr. Chen, what a great idea! This is indeed a good way to solve the problem right now!
There is really no better way to keep Pei as an ally and regain control of the situation in Lan.
Moreover, it was Pei State who sent the troops. His Highness Wu Lie only had to covertly support the troops, and there would be no losses. Why not?
I will go back and report Mr. Chen's suggestion to His Highness Wu Lie. I believe His Highness will agree! Commander Crow said happily.
Then I will just wait for the good news from the Commander-in-Chief. Gu Chen said with a smile.
Commander Crow quickly left Peidu with Ming Shou's body and returned to Shengyang.
In Wu Lie's mansion, after hearing Gu Chen's suggestion conveyed by Commander Crow, Wu Lie looked uncertain and thought for a long time.
Huh, this Chen Yi is really ambitious!
After a while, he suddenly slapped the table hard and said through gritted teeth.
Your Highness, what does this mean?
The crow general standing in front of him asked in surprise. He thought that His Highness would be very happy after learning about Chen Yi's clever plan.
You were tricked by Chen Yi! It's all a trick. I'm afraid he has been coveting the territory of the Lan Kingdom for some time! Wu Lie snorted heavily.
He carefully inquired about the conversation between Commander Crow and Gu Chen, and immediately smelled the smell of conspiracy.
The first is to ensure that there will be no problems with the alliance, so as to win the favor of the people he sends.
After that, he used alarmist talk to exaggerate the crisis facing Pei State so that he could logically reveal his shameless plan.
He obviously has his sights on the territory of the Lan Kingdom, but he still wants to say it's for his own good. It's really hateful!
But Your Highness, what Chen Yi said makes sense.
Commander Crow said hesitantly, feeling in his heart that His Highness might be a little too wary.
Of course what he said makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, how can he force me to agree? This is the same old trick!
Wu Lie's teeth were itching with hatred, and fire was almost coming out of his eyes.
If it was his first time dealing with Gu Chen, he might believe his words and consider him a trustworthy friend.
But after the experience of being used against the Qiankun Society last time, he was very skeptical about what he said was the Qiankun Society's intention to support the third prince in power.
That guy is good at alarmism, and he went around in such a big circle just to get his help so that he could successfully capture the territory of Lan Kingdom!
He could clearly see the other party's ambitions. Just like the way he had gained control of Pei State, the other party was now eyeing Lan State!
After hearing Wu Lie's careful analysis, Commander Crow finally realized that this was probably a set-up.
Fortunately, he was put into Pei Guo's situation at that time and thought Chen Yi was very interesting. It turned out that he was just acting!
Your Highness, what should we do now? Don’t you accept Chen Yi’s suggestion?
Commander Crow asked. He still felt that what the other party said was a good idea. As for being a little selfish, it was actually normal.
The bustle in the world is all for the benefit of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the going.
Even the most die-hard allies cannot ask for nothing in return. What needs to be considered is whether it is worth it.
