The Crown Princess said: "Prime Minister Cao said: Before you think about victory, think about defeat first! Regardless of whether anyone understands the mystery, we must ensure that the secret of this painting cannot be discovered by the Nine Kings, Yang Ke and others. , otherwise, this painting is not a cry for help, but a cry for death.”
Yan Qidao: "Prime Minister Cao is rigorous in his work and can be said to be foolproof."
The Crown Princess added: "I was already in despair. Even though a little girl had seen the world, she was so panicked in the face of many crises. Prime Minister Cao did not panic in the face of the battle and encouraged me. Although this painting is a painting within a painting, There is only one person in a million who understands the mysteries, but among the outstanding people in China, there must be rising stars who can discover the secrets."
"Today, being able to meet Mr. Yan at the Annan Palace proves that what Prime Minister Cao said is true."
Yan Qi said with emotion: "Prime Minister Cao is truly a hero of his generation."
The Crown Princess said: "Master Yan helps Dahua and searches for relatives thousands of miles away. He is considered a fairy among people."
Yan Qidao: "If it weren't for Prime Minister Cao's far-sightedness, I would have found nothing even if I traveled thousands of miles to find my relatives. Prime Minister Cao's wisdom can be said to be far-sighted."
The Crown Princess saluted Yan Qifu: "Whether it is Prime Minister Cao or Mr. Yan, they are the white jade pillars of Dahua's blue sky and purple gold beams that frame the sea. It is you who gave Tianluo a second life, and Tianluo is grateful. "
Yan Qi said sonorously: "No need to be grateful, everything is for Dahua."
The Crown Princess bit her pink lips tightly. Although her disfigured face was not beautiful, her beautiful eyes had an unrivaled temperament: "Master Yan said it well, everything is for Dahua."
The Crown Princess went from being frightened to being surprised in just a split second.
However, she felt like she was in another world.
Yan Qi makes tea for her.
After tasting a few sips of fragrant tea, the Crown Princess finally recovered from her extreme excitement.
Yan Qiyou was full of doubts: "Princess, in the battle of Hongcheng, the prince and Mr. Cao Ge clearly had the upper hand. Why were they suddenly defeated? So that the prince died in Hongcheng? To this day, it is still a mystery. Please The Crown Princess can help me clear up my doubts.”
The Crown Princess sighed, her eyes filled with endless hatred: "The death of the Crown Prince was all caused by Jiu Wang, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu. These three bastards who worked together in collusion were the culprits who killed the Crown Prince. "
Yan Qi's eyes were serious: "Please tell me in detail, Princess."
The Crown Princess said: "Back then, King Anande's ambitions were so great that he invaded our Miao territory and harmed our people of Great China. Moreover, King Anande and the Turkic Youxian King Yege were linked. Yege attacked the Northern Territory of Great China. After holding back the army of the God of War Leng Wanshan, King Anand took advantage of Dahua's lack of time to go south, so he became ambitious and massacred the people of the Miao territory in order to seize the Miao territory."
"Prime Minister Cao and the Crown Prince understand in their hearts that this is a battle of life and death. How can they be careless? The Crown Prince and Prime Minister Cao strongly recommend to the Emperor that they personally lead the troops and rush to the southern border to fight King De to the death."
"The emperor admires the prince's courage and wisdom, but the prince only has 50,000 personal guards. How can he resist King De's 200,000 troops? Therefore, the emperor is in trouble. Unexpectedly, the nine kings actually came forward."
Yan Qidao: "What did the Nine Kings say?"
The Crown Princess said: "The Ninth Prince said that he had long ago ordered Zhang Yongwu to raise 100,000 soldiers, and sold the palace to raise food and grass, which can be used by the Crown Prince at any time."
Yan Qi frowned: "Nine Kings are deliberately sending the prince to Hongcheng. This guy really has evil intentions."
The princess said: "At that time, how could you think so much? Whether it was the emperor, Prime Minister Cao, or the prince, they were all grateful to the nine kings for providing help in times of need. Both the government and the public praised the nine kings and called him a generation. Wise King."
Yan Qi sneered: "If it were me, given the situation at that time, I would probably give the Nine Kings a thumbs up. This move is really brilliant!"
The Crown Princess added: "Zhang Yongwu led an army of 100,000, which was integrated with the Prince's army of 50,000. The Nine Kings even asked Zhang Yongwu to hand over his military power and fully obey the Prince's orders. Everything the Nine Kings did cannot be said to be disloyal. ."
"After arriving at Hongcheng, the prince commanded well and Zhang Yongwu was also brave and good at fighting. Under Cao Chunqiu's general strategy, he defeated King De in embarrassment and escaped from Hongcheng. Dahua regained the lost territory and robbed Hongcheng. Come back. But then, things changed.”
Yan Qi asked: "The Nine Kings are going to cause trouble."
The Crown Princess said: "The Nine Kings are indeed going to cause trouble, but we shouldn't think so. Only after a review can we know how despicable and ruthless the Nine Kings are."
Yan Qidao: "What happened?"
The Crown Princess said: "Zhang Yongwu suggested that we should take advantage of the opportunity to pursue the poor bandits. In order to catch up with King De before he could escape back to He County, he accelerated his march and rushed to He County to capture the capital of Annan, make Annan completely surrender and resolve the Annan War in one fell swoop. Suffer."
Yan Qi frowned: "I think this strategy is too risky. With the national strength of Dahua that was surrounded by enemies at the time, it simply could not support this strategy. I don't think Prime Minister Cao would agree."
The Crown Princess glanced at Yan Qi in surprise: "Master Yan indeed has the same strategy as Prime Minister Cao. After hearing Zhang Yongwu's plan, Prime Minister Cao thought for a moment and denied the plan. Prime Minister Cao believed that if the Crown Prince invaded He County rashly, , going deep alone, there are many dangers, it is not advisable to take risks."
"However, Zhang Yongwu said that he wanted the prince to stay in Hongcheng. He led an army of 100,000 to attack Hejun. He also said that he would not withdraw his troops until Annan was broken."
"The prince was deeply moved after hearing Zhang Yongwu's words, and said that Zhang Yongwu is a general who serves the country with loyalty."
Yan Qi frowned: "Zhang Yongwu wants to send troops to He County, will Prime Minister Cao agree? I don't think Prime Minister Cao will agree. Because there are only 150,000 troops in total, and the number of troops is very small, how can we continue to divide them?"
The Crown Princess looked at Yan Qi in surprise: "Master Yan is right. Prime Minister Cao and Master Yan have a common idea. They believe that there are very few troops and they are divided into two groups and can easily be defeated by each. This plan was denied by Prime Minister Cao."
Yan Qidao: "What happened next?"
Princess: "But that night, Zhang Yongwu actually left a letter in blood and led the Nine Kings' 100,000 soldiers to kill Hejun overnight. He also issued a military order. If Hejun was not defeated, he was willing to come to see him. "
The princess said: "Prime Minister Cao wanted to stop him, but he was too late. After all, these 100,000 soldiers belong to the Nine Kings. From generals to soldiers, they all obey the orders of the Nine Kings. Zhang Yongwu rushed to He County with an army of 100,000 people. Who could It can’t be stopped, and it’s too late to stop it.”
Yan Qidao: "How did Prime Minister Cao plan his plan when he learned that Zhang Yongwu had divided his troops into 100,000 troops?"
The Crown Princess said: "The first thing that Prime Minister Cao thought of was to ask the Crown Prince to lead the remaining 50,000 personal guards to evacuate the Miao territory."
Yan Qi clenched his fists: "Old Cao Ge's strategic layout was too wise. Although Hongcheng was taken, the prince only had 50,000 troops left. Several cities around Hongcheng were not well guarded. I am one of the secretaries and spies. , with you in my midst, how will I escape if I am attacked by a surprise attack? Where will the reinforcements come from?"
The Crown Princess lamented: "It's a pity that on this most critical matter, the Crown Prince did not follow Prime Minister Cao's strategy and did something stupid."
