Empress Lin Ance

Chapter 65 64. Frontier Battle: I am the Commander

**
He has great plans, ambition and ability, and the steward is willing to follow him.

"But Master Xiang, now that Chi Yehu holds the most important power, and the second prince has made great achievements again and again... Judging from the current situation, among the three, the eldest prince is really weak."

However, the eldest prince's greatest advantage is that his mother clan is strong, and he also has a place in the Huyan tribe, but the situation is easy to change. Once the mother clan or Ke Dun loses power, he will inevitably suffer.

Qi Rong sighed, with a pity look on his face, "Actually, among the three, I had my eyes on Su Feng at first."

His mother clan is not powerful, so it is easy to control, and he has the strength to compete with Huyan Xingchi, but he does not know how to praise, arrogant and conceited, and directly rejects his cooperation intention.

"Pity."

"Then how can we help the eldest prince... win the throne?" the steward asked.

Qi Rong sneered, "Of course we need an opportunity to break this deadlock."

"The eldest prince has just been defeated, and now it's going to be winter. I'm afraid there is no chance." The housekeeper shook his head repeatedly.

Qi Rong didn't think so, he looked at the housekeeper with dark eyes, put his hands on his arms, and his voice was full of conspiracy:

"The grassland is calm and calm, so it's hard to fish in troubled waters, but what if... it's messed up?"

The butler was surprised, "How is this messed up?"

Qi Rong let go of him, with weird and mysterious eyes, "Unfortunately, I once had a friend in Central Plains, and he would be happy to help us."

I really thought he didn't do anything this month. He had already thought of a way out when the woman's identity was exposed.

……

Half a month later, Wang Ting issued an urgent call.

Including Huyan Xingchi, the two princes and others, Yili Khan summoned a number of civil servants and generals, especially the important ministers in charge of military power.

Chu Qingyan vaguely sensed something was wrong.

When Huyan Xingchi went to the royal court, he usually brought her along with him, but he was the only one in the urgent call sent by Khan today.

"Bai Yu Chi Mo, three drops of blood on the letter, this is an urgent edict from the Huyan Tribe."

Mu Dan was also a little flustered, walking back and forth in the tent, "It's been many years since such a large-scale emergency decree..."

Chu Qingyan winked at Yan Xiaobai, left Mu Dan alone in the tent, and the two went out.

After bringing him to an open grassland, Chu Qingyan asked urgently, "Is there any news from Chang'an?"

"No news."

Yan Xiaobai shook his head, at least he could be sure that the people in Chang'an were quiet.

Chu Qingyan didn't dare to let go of her hanging heart, "It's not Chang'an, so it has nothing to do with Dasheng..."

"Maybe it's a tribal war on the prairie. People in the prairie are like this. When winter is approaching, there are many wars in order to rob rare food and territories rich in aquatic plants." Yan Xiaobai explained.

This time of year is also the time when grassland wars break out most frequently.

Chu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope so."

Zhiqi is in charge of collecting and distributing information in Chang'an. If there is any movement in Chang'an, it is impossible for her not to know.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

"Send someone immediately to check in the four cities of Beizhou on the border between the two countries, and report back as soon as you have any news!"

She almost ignored that the people of the prairie would not know the news about the Central Plains better than her, but if there is a problem on the border between the two countries, the first to get the news must be the prairie defenders who have been stationed on the border all year round!
Yan Xiaobai also realized this, he hastily led away.

……

Until nightfall, no news from Wang Ting could be heard.

In the leaf tent, Mu Dan, Tu Hechi and others were still waiting anxiously. They knew very well that once the royal court issued the edict of Bai Yu Chi Mo, something big would happen.

In the middle of the night, Huyan Xingchi returned almost at the same time as Yan Xiaobai and the others. As soon as they entered the big tent, Mu Dan impatiently went up to meet them!

"How? What happened?"

Huyan Xingchi raised his head, glanced at the people present, and finally his gaze passed over Chu Qingyan.

"The grassland and the Central Plains are about to go to war."

After the words fell, everyone in the tent was surprised and suspicious.

"Is this the Khan's decision? Didn't you just fight, why do you want to fight again?" Moore couldn't help but ask.

"Hit it, it's just a bunch of idiots from the Central Plains, what are you afraid of doing?!" Tu Hechi had no fear.

When Chu Qingyan heard Huyan Xingchi's words, her heart turned cold. It was winter when the two countries started fighting, and how many people would freeze to death and starve to death...

Yan Xiaobai, who came in together just now, looked at her and hesitated to speak.

"It's not Khan's idea. Dasheng wants to fight this battle."

Huyan Xingchi stared at Chu Qingyan word by word, as if speaking specifically for her.

Mu Dan and the others were even more puzzled. Dasheng's attitude towards diplomacy has always been peace-oriented, otherwise he would not have agreed to their conditions and sent Princess Yongping to the grassland for marriage.

How could this battle be initiated by Dasheng?
Huyan Xingchi didn't say much, he glanced directly at Yan Xiaobai, and said to Chu Qingyan: "Since your person is back, he should understand the situation more clearly, let's talk about it."

He didn't ask Chu Qingyan how he knew about this, probably he had already thought about it.

Yan Xiaobai's face froze, and he looked at Chu Qingyan, Chu Qingyan nodded silently, and after getting her permission, Yan Xiaobai said:
"The Dasheng border fortress and the four cities of Beizhou have assembled a large number of troops, and they seem to intend to attack the grassland."

There are four cities in Beizhou, Liangcheng, Qingcheng, Jiangcheng, and Luocheng.

The four cities are all bordering the grasslands. Once a war breaks out between the two countries, these four cities must be military fortresses, and they will also suffer heavy casualties.

"What? Dasheng is so bold, he is planning to sneak up on the house while we are not paying attention, so we will naturally fight!"

"Didn't everyone say that the current Emperor Chu is the master of peace? It seems that he has completely deceived us, and he didn't intend to live in peace with us from the beginning!"

Tu Hechi and Moore were the first to speak angrily.

Huyan Xingchi didn't speak. He knew very well that the two countries would go to war one day. Even if Dasheng didn't start the fight first, Khan had already planned for Dasheng for a long time.

Only now, too suddenly.

"impossible!"

Chu Qingyan spoke suddenly, interrupting everyone's conclusions.

"There may be other intentions for stationing troops on the border. If the Emperor Chu really wants to fight, there is no need to send a peace princess."

Most importantly, she did not receive any secret military letters from Chang'an.

Everyone was dumbfounded. What she said was not unreasonable, but stationing troops at the border without saying hello was regarded as a provocation.

Huyan Xingchi shook his head, his eyes were cold.

"useless."

"Khan thinks this is Dasheng's provocative move. If we don't respond, we will be incompetent. The royal court unanimously decided to fight."

"I am the coach this time."
