At this time, Zhao Degou’s chief military advisor Wu Xihuai said to him:
"Your Highness, Zhang Desen has actually told you where the opportunity is? Why can't you think about it? This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
However, Daxing Kingdom Crown Prince Zhao Degou interrupted him and immediately said:
"Okay, stop beating around the bush and tell me directly. Why did Zhang Desen tell me where the opportunity is? Tell me directly and hurry up."
After hearing this, Wu Xihuai said directly:
"His Royal Highness, think about it. Although the Liaogu Kingdom seems to be very powerful now, it has actually been in decay for a long time. You know, Bianjing was the capital of our country when we were in great rejuvenation, but it was taken over by the Liaogu Kingdom and the Haijin Kingdom. We had no choice but to move the capital to the Western Capital, and that’s not because..."
But Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, interrupted him and said:
"Okay, okay! I know this. This is the national humiliation of my great rejuvenation. Since you know this, you still want me to lead the troops? Do you want me to be caught with them to perform the sheep-leading ceremony? Then I Isn’t everything about us over? Thank you for having the nerve to say it! I..."
However, Wu Xihuai immediately answered and said:
"But the beauty is here..."
When Zhao Degou heard this, he immediately became furious. He said angrily:
"What? In that case..."
Wu Xihuai immediately said:
"Because the Liaogu Kingdom's army no longer has the combat effectiveness it once had. The reason why they were able to destroy Haijin and Luge Kingdom was only because the strength of those two countries declined even more. So, they have..."
After Zhao Degou heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. He immediately asked:
"How do you know that the Liaogu Kingdom's army is no longer what it used to be?"
Wu Xihuai immediately replied:
"His Royal Highness, think about it. When their large army attacked Bianjing, they were so arrogant. With just the soldiers and horses in their hands, they defeated my 300,000-strong army of Daxing Kingdom. This But it made me remember Daxingguo until today..."
Zhao Degou couldn't help but nodded in agreement. But Wu Xihuai continued:
"However, during the battle in the north of Xidu, their 800,000-strong army came with such ferocity that even the capital of my country, Xidu, experienced a city-wide panic. Many dignitaries were planning to flee south. But no one could Unexpectedly, even General Feng Yucai, our army's god of war, was surrounded. When the overall situation was almost determined, Zhang Desen only led more than 10,000 people from Zhang and Liu's private armed forces to defeat the eighty-strong Liaogu Kingdom. Where is Wan Dajun?”
After hearing this, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, Zhao Degou, couldn't help but feel particularly uneasy, and couldn't help but say:
"This makes me wonder why this happened. I almost asked Wan Gu, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Ancient Army who was captured by Feng Jiajun, whether he was a loser? He actually helped Zhang Desen out of thin air. It’s such a huge favor that I have no peace of mind day and night now!”
But Wu Xihuai went on to say:
"Yes, what's next! Their army was defeated first by the south of Jiankang Prefecture, and then by Hezhou City. Even now, General Feng Yucai has sent his Feng family army to Pengcheng. So, they are not weak. , is it that the combat effectiveness is not as good as before? Otherwise, how could we have suffered so many defeats..."
When he heard this, Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, suddenly lit up and said to Wu Xihuai:
"Yes, I also heard that they also suffered many defeats in Dangxia Kingdom. Although Dangxia Kingdom was destroyed, they were not destroyed by them. Therefore, they did not expand their territory at all, but lost a lot of land. . Doesn’t this mean that the Liaogu Kingdom is no longer viable? You are right, this is an excellent opportunity. I want everyone to know that I, Zhao Degou, am the hope for the great rejuvenation of the country! "
Wu Xihuai said immediately:
"I have identified about 10,000 troops who have little direct relationship with General Feng Yucai's Feng Family Army, but are located near the Western Capital City..."
As he spoke, Wu Xihuai took out a list from his arms and showed it to Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, and then continued:
"It's just that their weapons come from other trading houses. Do you want to buy some?"
From the Liu Family Trading Company..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Degou immediately interrupted him and said:
"Aren't the weapons of other families just weapons? It's not like they don't have strong bows, crossbows, fire blunderbuss, etc. No matter how powerful the Liu family's business is,
, that also belongs to the Liu family, and even more so to Zhang Desen. Besides, do we need to buy those ingenious things from the Liu Family Trading Company to allow Zhang Desen's power to continue to grow out of thin air? Wouldn't that make me suffer? "
After hearing this, Wu Xihuai immediately agreed and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns victorious, we must let everyone in the world know that Zhang Desen's victory in the Battle of Xidubei at that time was only achieved by some unsightly tricks and tricks, and it was nothing. Ability. Only His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Daxing Kingdom, is a truly capable person."
At this time, Zhao Degou patted Wu Xihuai's shoulder very happily and said:
"You are very good, yes! When I ascend to the throne of God in the future, you will be my greatest hero. I will make you enjoy endless glory and wealth, so you can rest assured!"
Wu Xihuai immediately thanked him with tears of gratitude.
…
On the next day, Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, actually took the bait and asked him to lead the army in the northern expedition. Everyone was stunned with shock. Especially Qian Qiu who participated in politics, he was simply shocked. Don't they even know what kind of virtue this Crown Prince has? But now, he can only sweat all over his body, but there is nothing he can do.
However, before Qian Qiu joined politics, due to various reasons, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, Zhao Degou, had great doubts about him. If he is the only one who openly opposes and leads troops, I am afraid that he may be regarded as an enemy by the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom.
So after he thought about it, he had no choice but to look under the stern eyes of Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom. Reluctantly agreeing, Crown Prince Zhao Degou planned to lead the northern expedition. Even Zhao Xinglong, the emperor of Daxing Kingdom, liked this crown prince better, so he planned to hold a grand expedition ceremony for him.
And when Zhao Degou, the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom, heard that his father planned to hold a grand expedition ceremony for him in person, he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. Because it was also a huge honor for him to have his father's personal participation.
Of course, Zhang Chengwei, the prime minister of Daxing Kingdom, disagreed and was too lazy to say anything, so he did not object to this matter. Next, it depends on what kind of process the crown prince of Daxing Kingdom can go through, and the result also depends on his ability.
