Chapter 696; Unfair

Author: Ran Xi Nian

"Miss, King Jin is going to Bei Di at this time. Is he planning to attack Bei Di?"

Qiu Shuang Xiu frowned slightly, but she had always known something about this matter.

The current situation in the North is not very good. There are Xirong rebels and Beichu killers. In particular, the battle between Prince Li and the Duke of Zhen is in full swing.

According to her idea, she had to wait until the winner was determined over there before taking action.

After all, the combat power of the two is about the same. Once they fight, both sides will inevitably suffer losses. Even if one side wins, it will be a tragic victory. Wouldn't it be easier to go over and finish the battle at this time?

"I think so. Why do you think it's not the right time yet?"

Qiu Shuang nodded.

"You don't just have to wait for the opportunity, you can also create it yourself."

"What's the situation like in the Northland now?"

"It's very confusing. There are all kinds of monsters and monsters."

Qiu Shuang answered almost without thinking.

"Yes, the North is in chaos now. Most normal people think the same as you, waiting until both sides suffer losses, or one side wins miserably."

"But what you can think of, can't Duke Zhen Guo and others think of it?"

"Think about it again, is Northland important to these two families?"

"Of course it's important."

These two families have planned a lot for the Northland. Originally, the cooperation between the two families would have been a win-win situation, but no one gave in to the other, and both wanted to completely control the Northland.

Coupled with some special reasons, we have reached this point today.

What about Prince Li's Mansion? For Beidi, he almost took off the mask he had put on after so many years of silence.

If the Northland is still lost, then there is only a dead end waiting for Prince Li's Mansion.

Speaking of Duke Zhen, he is no longer what he used to be. If he wants to survive, he can only rely on the North. If he disappears from now on, he may still have a stable old age.

But judging from his current series of actions, he does not intend to be stable. Only by fully controlling the North can he have enough strength to protect himself.

Of course, this so-called self-protection is only temporary. After all, it is not enough to rely on just one Northland to compete with the entire Dongzhou.

"Everyone will be cautious when dealing with things they value, especially if this thing is related to their wealth and life."

"When the time comes when they have no choice but to retreat, they will even choose to cooperate. Although this cooperation may have their own hidden agendas, acting can lead to stable development on its own, so why not?"

"And now that the Xirong rebels and Beichu have intervened, the Northland has become somewhat out of control."

If there were only Prince Li, Crown Prince, and Duke Zhenguo, Emperor Hongwen might really wait until they fight with each other to weaken their power bit by bit.

Even if the Xirong rebels joined before, Emperor Hongwen had no intention of moving. After all, the mere Xirong rebels were not enough for him to take seriously.

But the joining of Beichu is different. The strength of Beichu is not comparable to that of the rebels of Xirong.

Secondly, Beidi is one of the key places in Dongzhou to block Bei Chu. If a large number of people from Bei Chu are allowed to infiltrate, Bei Di will be in great danger when Bei Chu attacks.

As for the last point, he naturally wanted to seize Beichu's mistake and unilaterally tear up the alliance.

It is impossible for Dongzhou to always form an alliance with Beichu. Now that the southern border has retreated and no more attacks will be made for a while, then the relationship between Beichu and Dongzhou will slowly change.

As Dongzhou's national power was now strong, Emperor Hongwen had the idea to take advantage of this opportunity to deal a blow to Beichu and slow down the development of Beichuan, so as to facilitate annexation in the future.

Some people may think that this is a bit too hasty, but judging from the current development speed of Dongzhou, it has far surpassed that of Beichu.

Suppress the other side, slow down the other side's development speed, and coordinate with your own development, so that the gap in national strength can quickly widen.

There was also the bomb, which gave Emperor Hongwen great confidence. As long as this was used, Beichu would almost be completely defeated.

Although the number left is not large enough to destroy Bei Chu, it can bring a lot of trouble to Bei Chu and even make the soldiers and civilians of Bei Chu feel fear. When they fight again in the future, Dongzhou will be able to innately defeat Bei Chu.

Overwhelm Beichu.

"And Dongzhou and Beichu will go to war sooner or later. In that case, why not take the initiative in your own hands?"

"People from Northern Chu poured into the Northland in large numbers and killed the officials of the Dongzhou court. What a good excuse."

"Even if it is publicized, it is still Bei Chu's fault. When the time comes, no matter how fierce Dongzhou is in beating Bei Chu, no one in the world will be able to say a bad word. They will only say that Bei Chu deserves it."

After listening for a long time, Qiu Shuang seemed to understand.

"So, His Highness the Prince of Jin went over this time not only to deal with the Prince Li and the Crown Prince, but also to attack Beichu together?"

"The first two are for sure. As for the attack on Beichu, I'm afraid he won't be responsible for it."

It’s not like there are no other generals in Dongzhou. If they all rely on King Jin, can he be busy?

"The latter is still uncertain. After all, it depends on how the follow-up develops. If no one comes from Beichu, or if the people who come only target Zhen Guogong, there will naturally be no reason. After all, Zhen Guogong is already dead.

Yes, and even if he doesn’t die, he is still a sinner. If someone comes to help kill him, we might have to owe him a favor."

"Uh, Prince Dong Li, Prince Li here in the capital, can you agree?"

"Just wait and see, it won't be long before something big happens in Prince Li's Mansion."

"You go to the capital tomorrow for a walk, and invite Sister Miaomiao and Xiaoxue to come over to my place to have fun."

The next day, Qiu Shuang went to the capital early in the morning. With Lu Yaoyao's invitation, Wen Miaomiao and Cheng Lixue were naturally very happy. As for Dong Shan'er, she had given birth and was still in confinement, so she could not go out for the time being.

"Sister Princess, your place is so beautiful. I don't want to leave even though I'm living here."

On the terrace on the second floor, Cheng Lixue stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, with a look of fondness on his face.

"If you don't want to leave, then stay a little longer. I'm afraid the capital won't be peaceful for a while."

Hearing this, Cheng Lixue was startled. Wen Miaomiao immediately understood and asked, "Did the princess know anything that we don't know?"

"There's no news, I just have a feeling that there will be a lot of movement."

As soon as she said this, Wen Miaomiao looked at her and nodded after a while: "I like it here too. I will ask my servants to go back and tell you later that I will stay with you longer."

"I'll also ask my servants to go back and say something."

Cheng Lixue immediately spoke, but she obviously did not understand the meaning of Lu Yaoyao's words just now.

"Sister Xiaoxue, don't forget to remind your family to pay more attention recently."

"be careful?"

Hearing Wen Miaomiao's words, Cheng Lixue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yaoyao and remembered what she had just said.
