"This... it's not necessary. My father has this problem for a long time. He will be fine as long as he rests for a few days..."
Of course Liu Dingguo knew that his father was pretending to be ill, and he was just looking for an excuse.
If Liu Deng was really asked to send an imperial physician, there would be no way to end the situation.
What's more, do they dare to use the people sent by Liu Deng?
Doesn't this mean they have an undercover agent next to them?
He would not do this kind of behavior that would cause trouble for himself.
"How can you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment? This kind of thing is not something a wise person would do. Your Highness, please rest assured. When you get back, tell your uncle for me. I will send a letter to Jinyang tonight!"
After listening to Liu Deng's words, Liu Dingguo really wanted to hit him to death.
Doesn't this kid understand human language?
Didn’t what I just said mean rejection?
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
But what Liu Deng said was for this reason. At this time, he couldn't refuse even if he refused, so he had no choice but to admit it.
Anyway, this guy is placed next to Liu Jia, and it doesn't have much to do with him. At most, he has to be more careful when he goes to the palace in the future.
"We are all members of our own family, so it would be a bit unorthodox to say such things. But now that the gossip is over, it's time for us to talk about serious matters. Regarding the Wuhuan invasion, what do you generals think?"
As Liu Deng spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand, and then drank it down himself.
Seeing that he had already toasted, the remaining people could only stand up quickly to greet Liu Deng.
Hearing Liu Deng's change of subject, Liu Dingguo's heart skipped a beat, as business was about to begin.
"Of course, this kind of thing must be done by His Highness the King of Dai. I am really ashamed to say that the Yan State army is really useless, so every time it has to use the imperial army, we are also deeply ashamed... "
Of course it was inconvenient for Liu Dingguo to express his position at this time. After all, he was the one who had the final say in Yan State.
It was not convenient for him to express his position, so Lieutenant Fang Chengzhi could only do so.
Fang Chengzhi also had many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, so he was certainly very good at Tai Chi with Xini.
Although he was praising Liu Deng on the surface, secretly he was throwing all the problems back into Liu Deng's hands.
And it also showed the attitude of the Yan State. The war must be fought, but the army of the imperial court must be the main force. The Yan State's army is useless and can only cheer from behind.
"Your Highness, does this mean the same thing?"
As if Liu Deng didn't hear what he said, he poured himself a glass of wine again, and then looked at Liu Dingguo with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the King is laughing at me. I am not familiar with military matters, so I usually follow the arrangements of the Lieutenant on military matters!"
Liu Dingguo stood up with a smile, waiting to see how Liu Deng would perform.
"What the lieutenant said does make sense. The performance of the Yan army over the years is really unsatisfactory!"
Seeing that Liu Dingguo had made his attitude clear, Liu Deng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then spoke again.
"His Royal Highness Dai Wang is right, but this army cannot be trained in a day. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand armies, but it is hard to find a general. Our country of Yan really lacks strong generals..."
While Liu Dingguo was talking, he looked like he was beating his chest and feet.
"His Royal Highness, what you said makes sense. If that's the case, I might as well do this. Then the main attack mission this time will be done by the Yan army!"
"promise!"
Liu Dingguo responded subconsciously.
But after he finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation. Did he hear it wrong just now?
"I have long heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is a capable minister in governing the world, and he is worthy of being the future wise master of the Yan Kingdom!"
Liu Deng would not give him a chance to go back on his words, so he sealed the deal with just one sentence.
"Your Highness, this military and national event is no joke. The Yan State's army cannot be reused. This is also a long-standing problem. It cannot be corrected overnight..."
Seeing that Liu Dingguo had inadvertently fallen into Liu Deng's trap, Fang Chengzhi hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Lord Fang, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning His Highness the Crown Prince's decision? Or are you questioning my king's judgment?"
Liu Deng's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Fang Chengzhi with murderous eyes.
The wine glass in Liu Deng's hand accidentally fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Qiang——"
Immediately afterwards, a large group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the tent. Their swords were unsheathed and their arrows were cocked. The shining arrows on their powerful crossbows made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Liu Dingguo's eyelids twitched wildly. He didn't quite understand what Liu Deng wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to kill him directly in the army?
That shouldn't be the case, right?
Could it be that the dirty things he did have already happened now?
Or is it that the imperial court already has a secret decree and is preparing to arrest him and bring him to Beijing?
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
Just when Liu Dingguo's expression was gloomy, Liu Deng turned around again, picked up a wine glass from his table, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and then shouted to the soldiers.
"I'm really sorry. There was an assassination incident in the army some time ago. They overreacted when they heard the slightest disturbance!"
After the soldiers left, Liu Deng said again with a smile.
"This is for safety reasons. Please don't blame them!"
Liu Dingguo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and quickly stood up and said smoothly.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince is interceding, we can absolve them of their guilt today. By the way, where were we talking about just now?"
On the surface, although Liu Deng was a hammer in one thing and a mallet in the other, and he did things a little haphazardly, he frightened the generals of Yan State out of their wits from top to bottom.
After all, there are many things that people don’t want to know unless you do it yourself. If you do too many bad things, of course you will be afraid of encountering ghosts when walking at night!
"I'm just discussing the matter. I hope your two highnesses will not misunderstand!"
Forced by Liu Deng's murderous look just now, Fang Chengzhi suddenly felt cold sweat break out on his back.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Fang also said just now that this military matter is decided by me. I know that none of you are good at leading troops, but it doesn't matter. I can lead the army in less than a year." The reason why the great army of the country has won consecutive battles is because of my ability in training troops!"
As Liu Deng spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine.
