Huangfu Hero stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "Now that the country is empty, if Yingzhou invades now, I, Donglan, will face a scene of facing enemies on both sides."

Liu Xinghe pondered for a moment and said, "Couldn't you withdraw some of the troops on the front line?"

Huangfu Hero sighed and said: "If it was two months ago, it would have been okay, but now, it won't work."

"Oh, what's wrong?" Huangfu

Hero slammed the table with his fist and said angrily: " Originally, the coalition forces of the two countries were newly defeated and demoralized, and my Donglan soldiers had just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were not familiar with the terrain and environment, according to my strategy, our three parties should march step by step, but Shanghai and Vietnam were eager to regain the land occupied by Wu, and only wanted to fight a quick victory, and what was even more odious was that the generals of Shanghai and Vietnam wanted us to send troops to help him on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were wary of us, afraid that our Donglan would take the opportunity to annex them, so Shanghai and Vietnam and our armies were not stationed together, but camped separately。

Liu Xinghe frowned and said, "Doesn't that give the Wu Kingdom a chance to break through?"

That's right, that's it, about two months ago, our army with Wu because of the heavy snow closed the mountain, so the temporary truce and rest, originally our army wanted to wait for winter to spring, after the ice and snow melted before marching, but Shanghai and Vietnam did not agree, they in order to quickly recapture the city and we divided our troops to advance, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Wu State, Wu State has a general surnamed Ding is the best at night raids, he took advantage of a moonless night, with thousands of soldiers wearing white cloaks and holding short blades buried in the snow, waiting for the middle of the night, Hu Yue soldiers rushed into the military camp when they were tired, not only burned a lot of military grain and grass, but also attacked and killed a general who built a foundation in the chaotic army。 "

What, build the pinnacle of the foundation!".

In a war like this in mortal worlds, monks will not interfere, and the foundation building period can already be regarded as the highest combat power of the two sides, like the strongest war between Jiang Chu and Xishu at the beginning, that is, the barbarian king Meng Erke who pseudo-transformed the spirit period and Zhao Yilong, who suppressed his cultivation at the peak of foundation building, as for the later exposure of the bloody clothes gate, that war became a battle between the monk sects, so this time the Shanghai-Vietnam coalition army lost a general at the peak of the foundation building, which was simply unbearable pain.

Liu Xinghe frowned: "After suffering such a big loss, I'm afraid Shanghai and Vietnam won't be able to hold on." Huangfu

Hero sighed and said: "That's right, after that night, Shanghai and Vietnam completely lost their capital to fight against Wu.

Liu Xinghe thought for a while and said, "So we can't withdraw our troops now, otherwise Shanghai and Vietnam will be swallowed by Wu."

Huangfu Hero glanced at Liu Xinghe approvingly and said: "That's right, if I withdraw from Donglan at this time, then Wu will take Shanghai and Vietnam in one go, and after Emperor Wu unifies Jiangnan, he will definitely retaliate against my Donglan, with my Donglan's national strength, I am by no means the opponent of Wu who unified the three kingdoms."

"Why, isn't it true that even the old man are not the opponent of the Wu Kingdom?" Huangfu

Hero shook his head and said: "War is not only a battle that can be won by relying on strong strength, my Donglan is a coastal country, the land is barren and the population is sparse, the people live on commercial fishing, and the land is not as fertile as the Jiangnan region.

"So we have to keep Shanghai and Vietnam and let them act as a buffer zone between Donglan and Wu." "

That's right, so we can't withdraw our troops no matter what, and it is precisely this that Yingzhou Kingdom has seized this point, so it will send an envoy to the court at this time, and it must be a lion who will open his mouth." "

Huangfu heroes have a sad face, Donglan has a lot of commercial resources because of the geographical location, but also has become a fat in the eyes of many forces, not only the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, but also many monks want to control this area, Huangfu heroes have to deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards on the one hand, on the other hand, they have to face the ministers of the domestic court, as he gets older, he is also a little powerless, so when the Huangfu hero meets Liu Xinghe, he wants to recruit him into Donglan.

Huangfu Hero and Liu Xinghe discussed until sunset, but because they didn't know the purpose of Yingzhou Kingdom, they couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while.

"That's it, we don't know what the other party wants to do, let's see you when the time comes. Huangfu Hero pinched the corners of his tired eyes, and then turned to Liu Xinghe: "Ning Gongzi, the envoy of Yingzhou will go to the court tomorrow, it is better for you to go to the court with the old man tomorrow, with your wisdom and wisdom, you will definitely be able to help me Donglan crack the other party's conspiracy."

Liu Xinghe's face was embarrassed, he was willing to help the Huangfu hero give advice, but he didn't want to serve the imperial court, after all, his identity was special, so Liu Xinghe smiled bitterly and said: "No, you can be a staff member behind the scenes, and you won't be in front of the stage."

The Huangfu hero was slightly disappointed, but he didn't force it: "It's okay, if the son wants to go and talk to the old man." After

that, the Huangfu hero let Liu Xinghe go to rest first, and he himself was still in the study looking at the battle report on the front line, Liu Xinghe went out of the room, looked back at the shadow of the Huangfu hero lying on the desk and respected, and then his eyes turned to the outside of the house.

The dimly lit tavern was full of people, and many sturdy men with sharp blades were eating and drinking, these people were full of meat, and at first glance they were people who licked blood from the edge of their knives. In the VIP room, Liu Xinghe sat on the soft leather sofa with a glass of red wine, this was his second time in the Hunters Guild.

"Liu Gongzi, I heard the news you wanted.

Jiang Yelan walked in in a colorful skirt and a bewitching posture, as the vice president of the Hunters Guild, Jiang Yelan has a huge intelligence network, from royal secrets to folklore, she can investigate clearly.

Liu Xinghe arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yelan sat opposite Liu Xinghe with a serious expression and said, "Young Master Liu, as you expected, the envoy of Yingzhou Country did have bad intentions when he came here. "

Oh, please elaborate.

Jiang Yelan took out a stack of documents and said: "According to the information I have gathered, Yingzhou Kingdom has hoarded a large number of weapons and food through smuggling before, and has also cast many warships, which are estimated to be able to transport at least 200,000 troops. "

Yingzhou is an island country, their resources are poor, they need to trade with the mainland to maintain resource consumption, Donglan is the gateway to the mainland, which is why Yingzhou has invaded Donglan several times, since the Donglan sea ban, Yingzhou not only can not transport materials from the mainland, foreign trade has also suffered a huge blow, before Donglan soldiers are strong and strong, Yingzhou does not dare to act rashly, now Donglan army is outside, so Yingzhou intends to take the opportunity to make a big profit.

Liu Xinghe frowned and said: "The old man told me before that the main force of the imperial court has gone to Jiangnan, and there are only 20,000 Imperial Forest Army and 30,000 Protector Army in the capital, it seems that the other party is prepared, but how did they smuggle so many military supplies?"

Jiang Yelan lowered her head and whispered: "It was smuggled through my Hunter Guild."

The corners of Liu Xinghe's mouth twitched and looked at Jiang Yelan and said, "The business of your Hunter Guild is quite extensive.

Jiang Yelan smiled awkwardly and said: "It's not chilling to make money, not to mention that we are not from Donglan Country."

Then, Jiang Yelan looked stunned, and said with a worried expression: "By the way, according to my informant, the envoy of Yingzhou Kingdom went to Ai Qian's mansion in disguise yesterday, and was not escorted out by Ai Qian's guards until midnight.

"What? and such a thing. Liu Xinghe frowned slightly when he heard this, according to diplomatic etiquette, after the envoy arrived in the capital, he had to rest at the post station for a day, and then he could move freely after going to the court to see the emperor the next day, and now the envoy of Yingzhou arrived in the capital in advance and met Xiangguo first, and his behavior was sneaky, so weird There must be some ulterior secret behind it.

Liu Xinghe held his chin and thought for a while and muttered: "Although Ai Qian is addicted to money, he is a smart person, and he should not do anything to sell the country for glory." "

Ai Qian is deeply trusted by the emperor, and Donglan can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, almost an existence that covers the sky with one hand, so he will definitely not be a traitor, because that would be too stupid, Ai Qian will not do this, since this is the case, then Ai Qian and Yingzhou Kingdom may have a purpose, that is, the other party protects the country's mansion, and this is also what Liu Xinghe and Jiang Yelan are worried about.

Jiang Yelan nodded and said, "As far as I know, Yingzhou Kingdom seems to have two purposes for coming this time, the first is to force Donglan to open the sea ban so that they can trade with the mainland.

Liu Xinghe snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, no wonder they colluded with Ai Qian, they must be trying to fight for political bargaining chips through Ai Qian, as for the troops, heh, it is estimated that if the negotiations break down, they will use force to break through the country."

"It may be so, in addition, I heard that the second purpose of their coming this time seems to be for Princess Wenyu, and I heard that they are here to marry.

"What are you talking about!"

Liu Xinghe was furious when he heard this, Yingzhou wanted to let Donglan open up trade, Liu Xinghe couldn't control it, and even the opening of the sea ban was what Liu Xinghe wanted to see, but as soon as he heard that the other party actually wanted to covet Liu Mengli, Liu Xinghe instantly became angry, and his eyes unconsciously flowed with cold killing intent.

Jiang Yelan was taken aback by the killing intent that came out of Liu Xinghe's body, so she immediately persuaded: "Don't worry, the emperor won't agree."

Liu Xinghe scolded angrily and said: "They are also worthy?"

Although the emperor may not agree, but if there is Ai Qian to get in the way, coupled with the other party's military strength, it is not necessarily, Liu Xinghe made up his mind, this time he must intervene no matter what, he must not let Liu Mengli become a victim of politics.
