"Nephew meets aunt!"
After following Chen Wu all the way to the main hall, the eldest princess was already sitting upright.
"You kid, why have you suddenly become so polite recently? Now that you're here, hurry up and take your seat!"
After seeing Liu Deng coming, the eldest princess seemed very happy, and her face almost turned into a flower with a smile.
"Auntie is so anxious to find my nephew this time, but is there something wrong?"
Seeing the eldest princess smiling so happily, Liu Deng immediately felt that something was not right and quickly asked tentatively.
"What can happen? Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
What Liu Deng didn't expect was that the eldest princess didn't seem to mean to say it directly, but instead asked with a smile.
"Auntie is joking. If you say that, it would be too embarrassing for my nephew!"
Liu Deng had a wry smile on his face. Just by looking at the way the eldest princess was beating around the bush, he knew that she might have something important to say tonight.
The eldest princess, Liu Piao, looks carefree, but in fact she has a lot to show for herself.
If it were an ordinary trivial matter, the eldest princess would have already given the order directly. Since the eldest princess insisted on delaying it in a roundabout way, it seemed that she was waiting for the opportunity.
But they have already arrived. After traveling for so long, Liu Deng is really hungry. Since he can't ask why he came, he might as well fill his stomach first.
"Okay, okay, let's not just sit around. I captured you as soon as you arrived in Chang'an City. I guess you haven't eaten yet. Let's eat first and talk while eating!"
"You still know me, I have been living on those snacks along the way. When I come to my aunt today, I have to give you a good meal!"
Putting aside all the other messy things, the relationship between the eldest princess and Liu Deng was still extremely close, so Liu Deng was extremely casual when talking to her.
"You kid, but what you said is correct. You're all here with your aunt, so don't be polite. I've prepared a lot of delicious dishes for you tonight!"
While the eldest princess was talking, she greeted the servants to start serving the dishes.
There was not much time, and a table full of sumptuous dishes was served directly to the table.
The cook in the eldest princess's house can be regarded as having obtained part of Liu Deng's true biography, and he is also a person who is willing to think about it.
After learning the skill of cooking, I started to try it again and again, and I have really developed a lot of new dishes in recent days.
Although it is still incomparable with the delicacies of later generations, in any case, in this day and age, this can be regarded as a rare delicacy.
"Okay, I don't need you here anymore. You can go down first! We will keep our own opinions here. If nothing happens, don't come up and disturb us!"
After seeing that the food and wine were served, the eldest princess immediately kicked out all the servants in the mansion.
"promise!"
All the servants in the eldest princess's mansion have been carefully trained by the eldest princess. After responding, they immediately left one by one, closing all the doors and windows.
"You are so anxious to come to Chang'an City this time, but do you have anything else to do?"
After hearing their footsteps walking away, the eldest princess asked.
"I can't hide anything from my aunt. I do have something else to do when I come here!"
The eldest princess is Liu Deng's biggest partner in Lingnan. With so many people still working in Lingnan, there is naturally nothing to hide from the eldest princess.
"But it has something to do with Lingnan?"
The eldest princess asked tentatively again.
"Yes, it is indeed related to the incident in Lingnan. My aunt must have also received some news that the food harvest in South Vietnam has stopped!"
In any case, Mr. Qin and the others are the eldest princess's people after all, so this information will definitely be revealed to the princess to some extent.
This kind of thing was originally what the title meant, and Liu Deng didn't mean to hide it too much.
"I heard them mention it, but what do you mean?"
The eldest princess's expression suddenly became serious, while Tang Yihou sat aside and concentrated on eating meat and drinking wine.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we add the hidden plots we have planted in advance, as long as the tens of thousands of troops from Wuling are mobilized, and only need a piece of imperial edict from His Majesty, I am sure that the whole territory of South Vietnam will be recovered within half a year!"
After listening to Liu Deng's words, even when he was eating meat and drinking wine, the wine glass in his hand was trembling.
The huge dining room suddenly fell silent, it really felt like listening to thunder in silence.
"This is no small matter!"
After hesitating for a long time, the eldest princess spoke.
"Of course it's not a trivial matter. That's why I came to Chang'an City specially this time. I just want to discuss a charter with my aunt and Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng smiled and poured himself a glass of wine. Now it depends on what the eldest princess has to say.
"With just Lingnan's 50,000 troops, plus the 10,000 you sent, it may be difficult to capture the entire territory of South Vietnam..."
The eldest princess frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke again.
"Don't worry, aunt, what this war is fighting for is the hearts and minds of the people, not the gains and losses of one city or one pond! As long as we mobilize our troops a little, South Vietnam will have to defend with a whole country's troops, and hundreds of thousands of people will eat horses and chew them. With the current situation They can’t support the South Vietnamese treasury at all!”
Liu Deng said with confidence.
"But is it really so easy to destroy the country? The soldiers in South Vietnam were originally the elites of the First Emperor's war in the world. Even after so many years, the descendants of this generation are unworthy, and their combat power should not be underestimated!"
After all, she is in the royal family. Although the eldest princess has ignored the affairs of the court for many years, she can always speak to the point.
"My aunt has heard that you can conquer the enemy without fighting! We only need to delay it for two months, and the entire South Vietnam will be starved and corpses will be scattered thousands of miles away!"
"What's the plan?"
Liu Deng knew this matter very well in his heart. If he didn't tell the eldest princess clearly, she would not take such a big risk.
After all, with this war going on, it’s hard to say what’s left.
How can a war to destroy a country be so easy to fight!
"Auntie, have you forgotten? Our men are currently in Lingnan, breaking bones and sucking marrow. I have made an agreement with them long ago. If they follow the plan, all the bureaucracy in Lingnan will collapse in three months at most!"
Liu Deng poured himself another glass of wine with confidence.
"Just that broken woman?"
The eldest princess looked at Liu Deng in disbelief.
"That's right! She alone is enough to defeat thousands of troops!"
