Chapter 1485 Emperor Qing’s conspiracy, retreat in Dadong Mountain!
In the study of the Fan Mansion, Fan Xian swallowed several times after reading the battle report, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Father, is this true?"

"How could this be false? Our great prince is really a hidden master. I didn't expect that he actually secretly trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers~"

Fan Jian was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the eldest prince was so cunning that he actually deceived everyone.

I'm afraid that Chen Pingping, the King of the Dark Night, doesn't even know the power that the eldest prince has secretly cultivated.

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Xian asked in a low voice: "Then tell me, Your Majesty, does he...does he know?"

Hearing this, Fan Jian hesitated a little, and finally picked up the teacup and shook his head: "I don't know either!"

"You...what did you say?"

In the study of the East Palace, the prince stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief, and was even shocked to the point of stuttering.

I never expected this result. When the army went there to attack, I even felt gloating in my heart.

Let this bastard kick himself!
Deserve it~

I have been looking forward to it every day these days, hoping that the army would come back with Li Chengru's head, but I didn't expect to hear the news of defeat!

Is that Qin Qiong a pig?

His father was a veteran in the army, and his uncle Qin Ye was a pillar of the army. How could such a thing come out of the Qin family!
At this moment, I suddenly felt something was wrong and straightened up.

"Brother, he...he annihilated the 4 troops of the imperial court. Where did he get his own troops? Could he have defected to Northern Qi or Dongyi?"

The East Palace Horse Washer was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he came over and explained in a low voice: "Uh... Your Highness, according to our investigation, Prince Ning has at least tens of thousands of elite troops, and there are even many cavalry among them!"

"It's hidden so deeply!" The prince leaned on the couch with a distraught look.

I even feel lucky!

Fortunately, Li Chengru left. Otherwise, with his cunningness, he would have been able to secretly train tens of thousands of elite troops. His position as the crown prince would have been unstable...

The second prince Li Chengze was also shocked and had the same idea as the crown prince. He was so shocked that he almost fell down at first, but then he was just relieved.

He raised his head and asked, "Xie Bian, do we have anyone in Qizhou?"

"Your Highness, Qizhou is located in a remote area and has received little attention before. I was inconsiderate!"

"Go and make arrangements immediately. I want to know the details. This big brother is hiding too much. There might be trouble in the future~"

Compared to the shock of these people, Emperor Qing, who was the first to learn of the war report, was very calm, and even his expression did not change.

Just replied calmly: "I know~"

After everyone left, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the corner, and looked at the hanging map thoughtfully.

This defeat had been anticipated, but we didn't expect it to be so tragic. We originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

Lure Qin Ye away from the mountain to the border! Let the incompetent Qin Qiong lead the Qin family's direct lineage on an expedition. Emperor Qing knew that his eldest son had hidden power, so he wanted them to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, I underestimated this guy. He secretly hid 3 elite soldiers. Although I knew that Qin Qiong was a useless person, I didn't expect him to be so useless.

According to the battle report, 4 of our troops were wiped out, while the enemy suffered minimal losses and even gained Changzhou for free.

Compared to the desolate surrounding areas, Changzhou is relatively prosperous. As a bridgehead against the Dongyi people, there are still many military supplies in the city. Now that little bastard got them for free.

"Snap~" Crushing the teacup in his hand, Emperor Qing stared at the five states of Ningguo with sharp eyes.

"Call all the ministers to discuss the matter!"

"Follow me~"

The ministers quickly rushed to the palace from their homes. The most important issue was whether to continue to send more troops to fight.

The Minister of War Wang Qiong directly objected: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible. As our border is close to the Dongyi, it is impossible to send more troops there, otherwise it would be a challenge to Si Gu Jian!" As the Minister of Revenue, Fan Jian also disagreed to continue to increase troops.

"Lord Wang is right. The morale of Prince Ning's army in repelling the imperial court is high. I'm afraid at least 5 troops will be dispatched. Our Qing Kingdom has just ended the war with Northern Qi, and the finances are indeed a bit tight!"

Military officers consider issues from a different perspective. As military generals, they fear the lack of battles the most. As long as their weapons are put into storage and their horses are released into the mountains, their status will plummet.

So the British prince, whose beard had turned gray, stood up, straightened his spine and spoke loudly.

"How can you two help others to become more powerful and destroy your own prestige? Your Majesty, please give me 20,000 troops. If you can't defeat me, I will be beheaded!"

After much discussion, the civil servants finally gained the upper hand.

……

At the same time, Li Chengru was digesting the fruits of victory. The Changzhou he had just captured had 12 counties with a population of nearly 20. The population of his Ningguo doubled in an instant.

Everyone at the meeting was in high spirits, and the young Li Hu even volunteered.

"Your Highness, morale is high now. Dezhou, Yongzhou, Anzhou and Fuzhou are all under our military attack. I request your permission to lead the army to conquer them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, General Li is right. There are not many troops stationed in those prefectures. It will be a piece of cake to take them down. By then, the entire Dongshan Road will be in our hands!"

"My lord..."

"Okay, silence!" Chi Shun, who was older, was not carried away by the victory.

"Yeah!" Li Chengru also looked at him and felt that this person could be entrusted with important tasks.

"We must not fall out with the imperial court at this time. Our Ning Kingdom is still very weak. We are just lucky this time. We must not be proud!"

"Everyone, go back and control the troops. Now that the troops have expanded to 5, everyone must train new soldiers as soon as possible to restore the original combat effectiveness of our Beiyang Army!"

"As you command!" The generals saluted with their fists, and everyone regained their senses at this time.

After taking Changzhou, Li Chengru did not take any action. Instead, he sent a special envoy to Kyoto, saying that he had just repelled the Northern Qi army and had suffered heavy casualties himself. He hoped that the court could send reinforcements as soon as possible.

This also provided an excuse for Emperor Qing to cover his losses, and he could then formally assign Changzhou, which he had lost control of, to Ningguo. Li Chengru's title was even promoted to a higher level.

Prince Ning sounds much better than Prince Ning!

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Seeing everyone so happy, although Li Chengru was smiling, he was actually very alert in his heart. The old emperor Qing might be planning something bad again.

He knew better than anyone that this time it was Emperor Qing who was eliminating dissidents and striking at the Qin family, whose prestige in the army was growing. Otherwise, if he had changed the commander-in-chief, victory would certainly not have been so easy.

"After all, strength is the bottom line!" After Li Chengru made up his mind, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have reached the threshold of a grandmaster.

Now this fiefdom has five states. Although Changzhou City is tall, prosperous and has a large population, they have not moved and still regard Qizhou as the capital.

After returning home and being busy for more than a month, Li Chengru, who had dealt with all the affairs, came to a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the palace. This was the residence of concubine Si Lili, who was now more than eight months old.

Moreover, with hard work, the iron rod can be ground into a needle. Shihua and Yuchai also successfully conceived. In the near future, they will have a large family. This makes the civil and military officials very happy, as they have the motivation to strive for successors.

"Your Highness, you are here~" Si Lili, who was even more charming than before she was pregnant, came forward.

Li Chengru walked over quickly to support her: "Slow down, the baby is about to be born, don't move too hastily~"

After talking for a while, he left and looked at the other two pregnant women. Then, without anyone noticing, he secretly took more than a dozen people to Danzhou in the south.

Prepare to go to Dadong Mountain for retreat and practice, and strive to break through to the Grandmaster level in one fell swoop!

To be continued...
