Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Dongyu Embassy.

Yuwen Hu came to see Fan Mao early in the morning.

Although the banquet was held in the name of the Dongyu Mission, Yuwen Hu knew very well that it was Fan Mao's status as a great scholar in the literary world that made those prominent people in Daqian give him face.

Even though Fan Mao lost to Xu An outside the city, no one dared to ignore his position in the literary world.

"What do you think of the current situation in Daqian?"

Yuwen Hu sat at the table and pushed a cup of hot tea that he had brewed in front of Fan Mao.

Fan Mao took a sip of the tea on the table, was silent for a moment, and then smiled and asked, "What do you think, Princess?"

When Qin Wenjian was mentioned, Yuwen Hu's face suddenly became uglier.

Don't mention that dead girl!

That girl is already crazy.

It's not like anything has happened yet, but the elbow is now blatantly turned outward.

In order to stop him from dealing with Xu An, he actually moved to the room next to him and monitored his every move!

Is this reasonable?

"He is very old and struggling to death."

Yuwen Hu said coldly.

Daqian now looks like this to him.

Emperor Yuan Kang wants to turn the tide... Oh, it's better not to turn the tide, but if he does, the whole world will probably rebel!

Family, country and the world?

Those aristocratic families don't have this concept at all. What does the destruction of the country and the family have to do with them? They only care about the immediate interests.

Whoever dares to touch their interests, they will fight to the death, even the emperor!

"I'm afraid this is not what Her Royal Highness thinks?"

Fan Mao put down his teacup and laughed: "It is true that he is struggling to death, but it is not entirely true..."

"If Xu Xiao doesn't die, Daqian will survive for decades without any problems."

Fan Mao had heard of Xu Xiao's name a long time ago, and even the generals of Dongyu were quite afraid of Xu Xiao.

He didn't care much at first, until he saw the Black Armor Army showing off its might a few days ago, he realized how terrible Xu Xiao's position in Daqian was.

What he couldn't figure out was how a general who controlled the world's troops and had outstanding leadership skills could not be suspected by the emperor?

This was completely unreasonable.

"Sir, do you also oppose me killing Xu An?"

Yuwen Hu frowned slightly.

"Can your highness kill him?" Fan Mao asked with a smile.

Yuwen Hu was speechless!

Now... he really couldn't kill him.

After missing the first strike, Emperor Yuankang and Xu Xiao had already noticed him. If he made another move... I guess Dongyu couldn't go back.

"There's news from Tianxing Tower. Someone invited them to kill Xu An."

Yuwen Hu was silent for a while, but still revealed some news to Fan Mao.

Tianxing Tower is now supporting him.

"Who?"

Fan Mao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yuwen Hu dipped his hand in tea and wrote the word "阙" on the table.

Seeing this word, Fan Mao pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Then kill him, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. But killing is killing, the task assigned by His Majesty must be completed first."

"I haven't lost yet!"

Yuwen Hu was a little angry and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness is not losing, but the cost is too high according to your method."

Fan Mao smiled and shook his head, saying: "Daqian will perish, but it is not the time for it to perish yet. Daqian is like a sick tiger, which needs prey to slowly eat it. Once it is pushed too hard, it will be bitten back and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"In this case, why not follow your majesty's words and squeeze out their last value?"

Yuwen Hu roared like a beast: "Daqian's majestic mountains and rivers should have been in the hands of Dongyu."

"Yes, your Highness is right."

Fan Mao nodded and said: "But before that, your Highness, just hold on! Going to war with Daqian now will only make others reap the benefits."

Yuwen Hu clenched his fists, his face was ferocious, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged.

Fan Mao still smiled and said nothing.

Bang!

After a long time, Yuwen Hu slammed his fist heavily on the table and remained silent for a long time.

It is true that they went to Daqian to plunder Daqian's cultural fortune and to exacerbate the contradictions in Daqian's court... But in addition to this, they have another mission.

To form an alliance with Daqian.

Now the Beidi are strong and powerful, and they often knock on their borders, making them miserable.

But it is difficult for Dongyu to resist Beidi alone.

In order to prevent Beidi from plundering southward after the autumn harvest, Dongyu decided to form an alliance with Daqian to jointly deal with Beidi.

But Yuwen Hu has his own ideas!

He wants to fight Daqian before Beidi goes south, and take all the vast territory of Daqian.

As long as Daqian is destroyed, and then with the help of Daqian's resources to resist Beidi in the north, there will be a battle.

Even for this reason, when he was on a diplomatic mission to Daqian, he had secretly transferred troops to the border.

Unfortunately, after this idea was spoken out, Qin Wenjian directly criticized it.It's only four months away from the autumn harvest. Can you conquer Daqian in four months? Do you think the world-famous Xu Xiao is so easy to deal with? If he was so easy to deal with, the group of civil servants in Daqian would not have been helpless against him over the years. Once Daqian cannot be conquered and the war becomes a stalemate, Beidi will definitely take the opportunity to move south, and Dongyu will be attacked from both north and south in an instant. What will happen then? Moreover, even if you conquer it, will Beidi give you time to recuperate? By then, I'm afraid that not only Beidi, but also Nanque in the south and Xiling in the west will rush to send troops to divide up this world! "Womanly kindness!" Yuwen Hu's face darkened when he thought of being scolded by his sister. "No, the princess is much more sober than you."

Fan Mao smiled and said, "At today's banquet, I will take the opportunity to intensify the contradictions between the civil and military officials of Daqian. You can take the opportunity to talk to Emperor Yuan Kang!"

"The delegation is our own territory, don't worry about any problems."

"Your Highness, remember, this is your best chance, and your only chance!"

Yuwen Hu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things are not that simple. Today's banquet, I always feel that it will not be peaceful..."

"Not peaceful is good!"

Fan Mao stroked his long beard and smiled meaningfully, "If it is not peaceful today, then Daqian will not be peaceful in the future..."

Yuwen Hu was stunned for a moment and understood what Fan Mao meant.

If Xu An made trouble here today, it would be a disguised way to help Fan Mao divide the civil and military officials of Daqian.

The alliance with Daqian was indeed to jointly resist Beidi, but with the help of Beidi, trying to eliminate Daqian's living forces and preparing for Dongyu's future challenge to the Central Plains, that would be a good thing!

Yuwen Hu stood up, bowed and said, "Mr. is wise."

...

Princess's Mansion.

Xiao Lan'er was originally a woman and could not attend such a grand event.

But Emperor Yuankang issued an order to let her and Crown Prince Xiao Yuanlang attend the banquet together.

She could only go out with doubts, but the carriage had not gone far in the direction of the Dongyu delegation when someone blocked the way in front!

"Xiao Lan'er, take me to the banquet."

Kong Yan'er's voice came from outside the carriage: "Take me to the banquet, and I won't bother with you. Otherwise, I will never let you go for what you did to me!"

Xiao Lan'er pursed her lips and suddenly understood why her father asked her to attend the banquet.

There are always sluts who are thinking about her man!
