Chapter 247: King Huai'an's Strategy
As Su Dingxia slowly walked in front of Yu Anmin and King Huai'an.
After listening to Su Dingxia's question, Yu Anmin glanced at his brother.
Seeing Yu Anmin's gaze, Prince Huai'an shook his head helplessly and told him about Jiang Chen.
Hearing this, Su Dingxia frowned.
Obviously, this old eunuch who had served three generations of emperors of the Xia Kingdom had not thought of this.
Jiang Chen's growth rate is unexpectedly so fast!
After a moment of silence, Su Dingxia bowed directly to Yu Anmin.
"Your Majesty, I think Jiang Chen has become something great."
Hearing that Su Dingxia also thought so, Yu Anmin immediately shook his head helplessly.
But before he could say anything, Su Dingxia continued.
"However, if the emperor wants to deal with Jiang Chen, there are ways."
Yu Anmin, who originally thought there was no hope, suddenly felt his frown relax when he heard this.
"Eunuch Su, what's the solution? Tell me now!"
Seeing that Yu Anmin was so anxious, Su Dingxia no longer kept him in suspense and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, this is it."
"Since the coalition forces of Qi and Ming were completely annihilated by Jiang Chen, we might as well borrow the help of the two countries."
"As long as we don't send troops to support Jiang Chen, but deploy them outside the northern border."
"Wait until Jiang Chen is defeated by the armies of the two countries, then we will take action."
"In this way, we can not only destroy Jiang Chen, but also completely control the northern border!"
After explaining his plan, Su Dingxia lowered his head and stood there respectfully.
After hearing Su Dingxia's plan, Yu Anmin felt a flash of pity in his heart.
You know, if we follow Su Dingxia's plan.
He, Yu Anmin, the Emperor of Xia, will be able to get what he wants, but by then, the entire northern border will face the trampling of the armies of the two countries!
If this happens, the entire northern border will be plunged into war.
For Yu Anmin, who grew up among the common people, this is the scene he least wants to see!
Seeing the look of pity on Yu Anmin's face, Prince Huai'an beside him shook his head helplessly.
It seems that his fourth brother has become a qualified emperor!
After seeing that Yu Anmin couldn't bear it, King Huai'an stood up and asked Su Dingxia.
"Eunuch Su, are your 'Shadow Guards' deployed in the northern border?"
"Your Highness, as the last remaining force of the royal family, the Shadow Guards are naturally deployed in the North."
After receiving Su Dingxia's affirmative answer, King Huai'an continued.
"Eunuch Su, let's put it this way. Although your plan is the best solution, the people in the northern border will definitely suffer because of it."
"How about this, you send out a few Shadow Guards to assassinate Jiang Chen and King Jin at the same time."
"In this way, once we succeed, we can regain control of the North without bloodshed!"
When Yu Anmin heard the suggestion from King Huai'an, his eyes lit up.
Regardless of whether this plan is feasible, at least it does not harm the interests of the people.
This alone made Yu Anmin instantly agree with this plan in his heart.
Seeing that King Huai'an said so, Su Dingxia didn't say anything else, but just nodded.
"In that case, I will go down and prepare now."
"Eunuch Su, you must remember not to leave any suspicious traces!"
Just as Su Dingxia was about to walk out of the imperial study, Yu Anmin reminded her loudly.
"Old slave, obey your order."
…
At the same time that Yu Anmin issued a secret order to assassinate Jiang Chen, outside the western border town of Xia State.
The 50,000-strong army of the Canglang Kingdom was deployed on the border and surrounded a border town of the Xia Kingdom.
Looking at the army below the city, the brothers Yu Shuo and Yu Yu on the top of the city couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness, you can't go!"
"These wolf barbarians are still evil and will not give up. If you go there, I'm afraid you will meet with an unexpected disaster!"
On the side, several veterans who came with the brothers Yu Shuo and Yu Yu were trying to persuade them earnestly.
To them, Yu Shuo, as the crown prince, has such a noble status!
Right now, Prince An is "still recovering from a serious illness", and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has undoubtedly become the backbone of the entire Western Territory.
If, at this critical juncture, something happened to Yu Shuo again.
Then the entire Western Territory would be in complete chaos!
As for Prince An's second son, Yu Yu, although his intelligence and character were no worse than Yu Shuo's, he was not the eldest son after all.
Listening to the persuasion of several veterans, Yu Shuo did not say anything, but just stretched out his hand to stop them.
"I have made up my mind. You are all my elders. I know what you think."
"But as my father's eldest son, how can I be afraid of these wolf barbarians!"
"Second brother, if anything unexpected happens after I leave, the entire Western Territory will be handed over to you."
As he spoke, Yu Shuo turned his gaze to Yu Yu who was standing beside him .
Hearing his brother's instructions, Yu Yu quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Brother, I'm afraid I can't follow your wishes this time."
"I want to go with you!"
Upon hearing this, several veterans nearby suddenly became anxious.
If something really happened to Yu Shuo, the eldest son, the Western Territory would be in chaos.
But after all, Yu Yu is here, so things won’t get too chaotic.
But now, Yu Yu also wants to go with them.
If something goes wrong, Prince An will really have no successor!
But in the end, the veterans could not stand the persistence of the two brothers.
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and obey their wishes, but they were still worried.
He organized his most elite guards and escorted the two men out of the city.
Accompanied by a hundred elite guards, Yu Shuo and Yu Yu left the city and came to the front of the Canglang Kingdom's army.
"I am the prince of An, Yu Shuo!"
"Your commander wants to see me, let him come out!"
Yu Shuo rode his horse to the front of the Canglang Kingdom’s army and shouted loudly without fear.
After a while, the army of the Canglang Kingdom dispersed to both sides, leaving a road in the middle empty.
Immediately afterwards, under the escort of a team of cavalry.
A sturdy man wearing tiger-skin armor riding a tiger came to Yu Shuo.
After arriving in front of Yu Shuo, the tiger under the sturdy man's crotch roared at Yu Shuo.
“Ah—ho—”
As the tiger under the strong man's crotch roared, the warhorse under Yu Shuo's crotch was suddenly frightened and became restless.
It was seen that the warhorse under Yu Shuo's crotch, stimulated by the tiger's roar , almost threw Yu Shuo off its back.
"Hahahaha, this is Prince An's son!"
"Compared to your father, you are really nothing worthy of my attention."
Looking at Yu Shuo's rather funny appearance, the sturdy man started to mock him directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers of the Canglang Kingdom pointed at Yu Shuo and burst into laughter.
Hearing the other party's laughter, a trace of anger flashed across Yu Shuo's face.
