"When did your father find out?"
In the backyard of the Southwest Palace, Zhu Qingge stepped forward and asked in confusion after hearing his father's words.
"When you are ready to leave."
In the study, the Southwest King answered truthfully, "That girl is really powerful. When she first came, even my father didn't notice it. It wasn't until you were about to leave that my father noticed something was wrong. By the way, how was your discussion? , whose girl is that?"
"The Li family."
Zhu Qingge replied, stepped into his father's study, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Father, you said, we have been standing still, is it really wrong?"
"oh?"
After hearing the former's words, the King of Southwest looked strange and asked, "Has the Li family come here as lobbyists for the imperial court?"
"Um."
Zhu Qingge nodded and responded, "It's the third son of the Li family, Li Ziye. My father should have met him."
"I've seen it."
The Southwest King nodded and said, "I met him once in the Great Shang Capital. He was a high-spirited young man with the energy of a young man."
"If my father sees him again, I'm afraid he won't think so."
Zhu Qingge sighed softly and said, "He is disabled and his martial arts is completely useless. Now he can only rely on a machine chair to get around. Even his appearance is very different from back then. His head is full of white hair, like a man with a short life span." The dying man.”
"Abandoned?"
King Southwest asked in surprise, "Tell me briefly."
"This starts from the beginning of the year..."
Zhu Qingge quickly recounted what had happened since the beginning of the year, especially the three events of following Prince Wen to the north to slay the gods, to renew the life of the Confucian leader, and to go south to suppress the underworld. He was very detailed.
"Heroes emerge from youth."
The Southwest King put down the military book in his hand and commented objectively, "The human race is lucky to have such a young man."
"It's a pity that the man is dead."
Zhu Qingge sighed, "He is only twenty-two years old, a few years younger than me. At this age, it should be the time to show his ambitions."
"But he doesn't seem to care about that."
The king of Southwest said in a calm tone, "He is not telling you these things to show off or to arouse your sympathy. He just wants to gain your trust. This third son of the Li family is really not that powerful. Qingge, you are shaken." Yes, right?"
Zhu Qingge listened to his father's question and fell silent. After a moment, he said softly, "Father, I think he is right. The Southwest Army should not be called a coward. Everyone knows that the vitality of the Buddhist country is greatly damaged today." , there is not much spare power to invade Dashang, and the Southwest Royal City, with a hundred thousand troops, has always stood still. Not to mention the people of the world, even many officers and soldiers in the Southwest Army have already expressed their opinions. "
He admitted that as long as troops are sent out, there will be casualties, but isn't it the duty of a soldier to protect the homeland and the country?
The relatives and friends of the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Army are all in Dashang territory. The Southwest Army has not sent troops for a long time. So what is the significance of the existence of these soldiers?
"It seems that the third son of the Li family is really a successful lobbyist."
The King of Southwest looked at the legitimate son in front of him and reminded, "Qingge, you have to think carefully. Even if we don't send troops, with your military power in the Southwest Army and your military exploits in guarding the royal city for many years, it is not difficult to become the king. Once we send out troops, it would be fine if we win, but if we lose, not only you, but also the Southwest Army will suffer a great loss of reputation, which will attract even more criticism. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to become king again."
"My son is confident that he will win."
Zhu Qingge said seriously, "Father, Dashang and Mobei have been at war for three years, and we have always stood still. Now almost everyone thinks that we will not send troops. Therefore, if the Southwest Army is sent out, it will definitely catch the enemy by surprise."
"Who to fight? The Eight Tribes of Mobei?"
The Southwest King asked calmly, "Father, don't you think that if we send troops, we will definitely be able to change the trend of this war."
"No, don't fight the Mobei Iron Cavalry, just send your army north to fight the Tianyu Army!"
Zhu Qingge said categorically, "The Southwest Royal City is not far from the battlefield in the west, and Tianyu's army does not have such a large number of cavalry, and its mobility is far inferior to that of the Mobei Iron Cavalry. Our surprise attack will definitely catch Tianyu's army off guard. "
"Going north?"
The king of Southwest asked in surprise, "Is this your idea or the idea of the third young master of the Li family?"
"Brother Li's idea."
Zhu Qingge said truthfully, "However, I think this method is feasible."
"not enough."
The Southwest King shook his head and replied, "The Southwest Army is mainly composed of light infantry. Even if it is combined with the Xuanjia Army of the King of Triumph, it does not have the ability to make a final decision."
"And the commoner king's Rakshasa army!"
Zhu Qingge said solemnly, "Brother Li said that in order to resist the Western Route Army of the Eight Tribes of Mobei, the Rakshasa Army was also arranged on the western battlefield. Moreover, the Rakshasa Army has fifteen thousand cavalry, which can be mobilized. A large-scale surprise attack, in cooperation with the Southwest Army and the Xuanjia Army, to find an opportunity to severely damage the Tianyu Army."
"Rakshasa Army?"
After hearing the words, the Southwest King immediately stood up and came to the sand table not far away. Looking at the marching formation diagram on the sand table, he could not hide his shock in his eyes and praised, "It's amazing, it's really amazing, that's how it is."
After Zhu Qingge heard his father's words, he stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Father, what's wrong?"
"Look at the location of Dashang's Third Army. This is not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement."
The Southwest King pointed at the sand table in front of him and said seriously, "Now, the Rakshasa Army, the Southwest Army, and the Xuanjia Army seem to be unrelated, but they are already forming a chain. Once they are surrounded, the gods will not be able to escape."
"What does father mean?"
Zhu Qingge looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "Has the current situation been calculated before the war started?"
"good."
The King of Southwest said with admiration, "I don't know who came up with this game, but the person who instigated this game is really amazing."
"Father, if we insist not to send troops, wouldn't this situation be meaningless?"
Zhu Qingge questioned, "How can he be sure that we will definitely send troops?"
"Qingge."
The King of Southwest looked at his son in front of him and said with a complicated expression, "The three armies were encircled and the Tianyu Palace was defeated. This is a gift from that person to make you king."
What kind of talent does it take to predict this situation before the war begins?
Is it the third son of the Li family, or the commoner king?
"We're here, Amitabha, we're finally here!"
At this moment, outside the Southwest Royal City, Sanzang, who traveled day and night, covered with stars and moon, and was covered in dust, looked at the Southwest Royal City looming in the distance, with excitement on his young face.
It’s so far!
Next time, next time something like this happens, he will definitely not answer it.
I won’t answer it until I die!
