Chapter 160: Going with the flow
“Your Majesty, the other party also hinted that the three princesses are in the disaster-stricken city, and seems to want to use our sword to eradicate the other party.”
After reading the news, Zhang Zhang , and understood the second princess’s thoughts.
“What does Aiqing think?”
“It’s her wish! In this way, when we arrange manpower, she will definitely turn a blind eye, which will be more convenient for us. There is no loss for us whether it happens or not.
If it succeeds, it will be our sincerity in supporting the other party to ascend the throne. If it fails, it will also be the handle that the Second Princess falls into our hands. If she succeeds to the throne in the future, she will naturally thank us. ”
The old and cunning Zhang Zhang has clearly seen the secret, and feels that the second princess’s trick of calling out thieves to catch the thieves is a good one. It not only saves him a rival for the throne, but also gives the eldest princess Adding trouble and not having to get your hands dirty is killing three birds with one stone.
"In that case, just do what Zhang Aiqing said. I'm waiting to hear the good news. That old witch Wu Lianyi took away five of our cities. I only want the life of her daughter, which is already an advantage to her. I really think we are soft persimmons! For that supreme position, Fengqi Kingdom is bound to be in chaos. "
The new Emperor Panlong said with a sneer on his lips.
Both parties reached an agreement both openly and privately, and things progressed very quickly. Half a month later, People from both sides formally met in Longling City
The person in charge of Longling City this time is General Fengming. She had received the flying eagle message from Lianyi long before that. The eagle talisman was also sent to her. The queen's original words were:
"Feng Ming, I gave you the eagle talisman so that you can do things easily. Now that Fengqi Kingdom is in trouble, the surrounding three kingdoms will definitely be ready to take action, and even take advantage of this opportunity to regain control of the five cities!
Your mission is to keep an eye on these five cities and not let the other side tear open the border defense line. As for other things, you can take care of it yourself!"
General Feng Ming was shocked. In a cold sweat, she didn't know whether to say that the Queen was wise and mighty, or that she was bold and acted against common sense. The eagle talisman that could mobilize the entire Fengqi Kingdom army was sent by the flying eagle together with the letter.
If something goes wrong while the eagle is flying, there is a risk of losing the eagle talisman. Let alone mobilizing the army, she will be charged with losing the eagle talisman. Unless the Queen comes in person, there will be no chance of losing the eagle talisman. People can mobilize border troops.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Feng Ming began to mobilize his troops.
She is not the only general in the border defense army, but there is also one from the Zhao family. Feng Ming also heard about the other party's dispatch of new soldiers to provide disaster relief. She also knew why the Queen gave her the eagle talisman. Rather than the general of the Zhao family, he was obviously dissatisfied with the Zhao family.
Feng Ming disagreed with the other party's approach. The Zhao family's soldiers' lives were their lives, and the lives of the recruits were also their lives. There was no need to go too far. Now that the queen was dissatisfied, the Zhao family themselves were restricted.
She also understood the Queen's intention, which was to disrupt and disperse the Zhao army by defending against foreign enemies, so that the other party would not be able to support its troops.
Feng Ming went directly to see General Zhao Li and conveyed the transfer order to him. Zhao Li naturally refused to buy it.
"General Fengming, you and I are on the same level. Even if you need to adjust defenses, you should discuss it with me instead of giving me orders right away."
"It's Fengming's fault for not speaking clearly. "
Feng Ming smiled apologetically, took out the eagle talisman from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Li:
"This is the eagle talisman that the queen gave me. For this defense adjustment."
Zhao Li's face changed the moment she saw the eagle talisman. She stared straight at the eagle talisman with a cold light. She was silent for a moment. She was very sure about this. The eagle talisman was real, and she also knew that Feng Ming didn't have the guts to get a fake eagle talisman to fool him.
After Feng Ming made sure that the other party had seen it clearly, he put the eagle talisman back into his arms and handed the order written by the Queen to Zhao Li. Then he sat down slowly and waited for the other party to read the Queen's order and return it to her. Finally, he spoke slowly: "General Zhao, you and I both know that the Queen is a person who can't get rid of the dirt in her eyes, and now she is the Second Queen's female supervisor. You must also understand the Queen's intention of handing the eagle talisman to me.
I still say the same thing, I am only loyal to the queen, whether it is the current queen or the future queen, but because your surname is Zhao, you have been labeled as the second princess. .
In this case, I advise General Zhao not to do anything to hinder the second princess. After all, it has not yet been decided who will sit on top."
"I understand! We will cooperate with General Fengming to make border defense adjustments.”
Zhao Li replied to Feng Ming with words almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
After Feng Ming got the answer from the other party, he directly read out the list of generals to be mobilized, gave Zhao Li three days to prepare, and then left.
When Feng Ming left the door, Zhao Li waved her hand and knocked over the chair Feng Ming had just sat on, making all the generals in the hall afraid to express their anger.
But no matter how angry she was, she could not openly disobey the Queen's orders, especially when Feng Ming was holding an eagle talisman. Once she did this, she would give the Queen a chance to take action against the Zhao family. In this regard, she and Feng Ming's understanding is the same.
"General, what should we do?"
The deputy general of the Zhao family waited for Zhao Li to breathe again before asking in a low voice.
"What else can we do? I have an eagle talisman in my hand. Even me and Feng Ming can mobilize it, let alone you."
"Feng Ming obviously wants to defeat our Zhao family army. Come on, the Queen doesn’t trust us so much!”
Another deputy general said angrily.
“Shut up! The Queen’s decision is not something you and I can discuss!”
Zhao Li glared at the deputy general, then lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"Since this is the Queen's wish, we must implement it without compromise, otherwise it will be detrimental to ourselves, the Zhao family, and Even the second princess is not in a good position. As for how to implement it, we can think about it again."
The two lieutenants immediately understood what the general meant. Not all soldiers and generals in the Zhao family's army are from the Zhao family. They must do their best. It is possible to preserve the core generals and give up some manpower appropriately.
This will not arouse the Queen's dissatisfaction, but also preserve the Zhao family generals in important positions, and make Feng Ming unable to say anything. This is the most appropriate response strategy at the moment.
After Feng Ming saw the generals deployed by the Zhao family, he thought for a moment and understood Zhao Li's intention, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
The Queen has made it clear that she is giving the Zhao family a chance. Taking advantage of this defense adjustment, if the Zhao family fully accepts the order and does not violate it, there may be a good result. Otherwise, there will be no good fruits to eat. The Zhao family has been in a high position for a long time. , I have forgotten how to bend over.
After Fengming met the person, he said nothing and did not go to General Zhao Li to complain. He continued to adjust the deployment step by step. After all, Panlong Kingdom's grain transport team had arrived in Longling City.
