Sun Wen despised the fourth prince in his heart, but the expression on his face was that the old god was there, a posture that the Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged.
The fourth prince also seemed to realize that he should not drive in front of Sun Wen, leaving a frivolous impression, and quickly changed the subject.
However, Sun Wen has been in control of the rhythm and successfully led the topic to the border issue.
"Mr. Sun, in your opinion, how to deal with Chongzhou Liu Clan?"
The fourth prince coveted Jiang Pengji, but he wanted to use his male identity to gain a little sense of superiority and give himself more confidence.
Returning to reality, he is just the son of a slave girl, and he is not qualified to talk to Jiang Pengji on an equal footing.
Sun Wen raised his eyelids and said calmly, "The fourth prince thinks that the priority now is to deal with the Liu family?"
The fourth prince's expression froze, with doubts on his face.
"Is it not enough for Liu's family to set up troops on the border, with the stance of mobilizing troops to invade? Or, Mr. thinks that the outside world is the first to be peaceful?"
The fourth prince asked implicitly.
Now it is more important to deal with Liu Xi, or to kill the brothers who compete with him first.
Sun Wen smiled and asked the Fourth Prince, "If the Liu clan sends troops now, how should Northern Xinjiang respond?"
The fourth prince was dumbfounded.
"She couldn't have done that."
Even if Beijiang was a thin dead camel, it was much bigger than Liu Xi's horse.
She, a little prince, dares to take the initiative to attack the northern border
Who gave her the courage
Sun Wen asked again, "What if Liu Shi did this?"
The fourth prince said proudly, "If she dares to come, she will accept it!"
Sun Wen smiled coldly, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Wrong, if the Liu clan came, it would be Beijiang that would be losing ground."
After the fourth prince heard this, he was furious.
He was about to get angry, but Sun Wen said calmly, "A horse plague destroyed most of the northern Xinjiang's combat power, and then fell into a state of failure. Wu Li made a plan to buy the Cangzhou mare at a high price, hoping that the northern Xinjiang would recover quickly. It was a good idea, but he forgot that buying the mare at a high price gave Northern Xinjiang a chance to be reborn, but it also put itself in a situation of doom! As long as the princes of the Central Plains noticed the appearance of being strong outside the Northern Xinjiang, they would gather their forces. , another 'Huangshui League', what about Northern Xinjiang?"
The fourth prince's face darkened instantly.
Even if he was in the northern border, he knew that the Huangshui Alliance gathered together the 23 princes of Dongqing Road, with a total of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses.
The current situation in Beijiang is really unbearable.
As the prince of the Northern Xinjiang Royal Family, the Fourth Prince knows the internal situation of Northern Xinjiang best.
Even though he told himself over and over that the northern cavalry was invincible, but after the horse plague, the cavalry was indeed destroyed by seven or eight out of ten.
Without the cavalry, Northern Xinjiang's advantage over the Central Plains was cut off by a large margin.
In order to realize the ambition to enter the Central Plains, the Northern Xinjiang royal family spent years of operation.
Now is the critical moment of recovery, and there is no room for loss.
If the rumors leaked at this time - the fourth prince secretly clenched his fists.
"Liu Xi dare not do this, other princes may not respond to her call—"
Sun Wen coldly poured a pot of cold water, "That's not necessarily true. There is an old saying in the Central Plains - those who are not my race will have different hearts. The threat to Dongqing from the northern Xinjiang can be known by looking at the four southern barbarians against the southern kingdom. In order not to follow in the footsteps of Nansheng, the princes will definitely respond."
The fourth prince's face was like golden paper, with no blood at all.
He followed Sun Wen's train of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he was in a cold sweat.
Liu Xi is not a lord who plays cards according to common sense. She began to gather troops in Chongzhou a few years ago, gather crops and fields, and sharpen her knives.
It's hard to say whether this female lunatic will give up her life and carry Beijiang to death.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, there was no shortage of lunatics among the people of the Han family, not to mention the righteousness of Ling Ran who sacrificed his life for justice.
Their arrogance and integrity, even if the northern Xinjiang respects the culture of the Han family, they still can't understand the stupid idea of self-sacrifice.
The fourth prince hurriedly asked, "Mr. Sun, you must teach orphans!"
Sun Wen smiled, "It's natural."
With a smile on his face, he greeted Wei Ci over and over hundreds of times in his heart.
This guy Wei Ci is crazy, and even the labor force of the elderly has to be squeezed to the limit.
First, let him alienate the nine princes of the northern border.
Before he could enjoy the fruits of victory, Wei Ci sent him another letter.
This time the content was even more exaggerated, and he even asked him to assist Liu Xi to regain most of the territory of Shangyu County, which had been occupied by Northern Xinjiang for more than 20 years.
When the Northern Xinjiang invaded, the entire Shangyu County fell, and all six cities were lost.
Although Mr. Yuanjing went to the northern Xinjiang to retake the three cities, there were still three cities in the hands of the northern Xinjiang.
If you can't even get these three cities back, what are you talking about to recover the northern border
Jiang Pengji was worried, and Wei Ci naturally tossed and turned.
So this big hat was placed on Sun Wen's head.
Go, Sun Jae-dao!
(‵′)┻━┻
"Wen has a plan, you can abandon the car and keep the coach, and count birds with one stone." Sun Wen smiled meaningfully.
Birds with one stone
The fourth prince bowed to the end, "I also ask Mr. Sun to enlighten me."
After Sun Wen's analysis, the fourth prince suddenly came back to his senses.
There are many generals in Chongzhou, and they are all elites. There are even rumors that these elite soldiers have been trained for more than three years.
What is the concept of three years
Whether it is the Central Plains or the Northern Xinjiang, the soldiers who have been carefully trained in March have been called elite soldiers.
What should a soldier who has been trained for more than three years be called
The Liu clan in Chongzhou is really a formidable rival.
If you don't remove it, it's really hard to feel at ease.
"The fourth prince also knows that it is not suitable for war in northern Xinjiang today, but we cannot let the Chongzhou side see the clues." Sun Wen's deep voice came into his ears, just like the teacher of the academy teaching earnestly, the fourth prince straightened his back subconsciously, and listened carefully. "If that's the case, you might as well find another way, abandon the car and protect the commander. Aren't the three cities in Shangyu County in Chongzhou the best waste?"
After hearing this, the fourth prince felt unhappy for a while, and he looked at Sun Wen with scrutiny and suspicion.
The Sun Wen in front of him was also a member of the Han family.
"Sir, do you mean to abandon those three cities?"
Sun Wen didn't seem to see the suspicion and precautions of the other party, and smiled mysteriously, "No."
The fourth prince was stagnant in his heart, and said, "Please don't play with the lonely king, sir, just say what you want."
"For Northern Xinjiang, the Three Cities are not as good as chicken ribs."
The fourth prince interrupted him, "How dare you say this, sir?"
There was some murderous intent in his heart.
Sun Wendao said, "I am afraid that the fourth prince does not know the situation in the three cities? The Han people either escaped or died. If they failed, they were captured as slaves and sold everywhere. The fertile fields were idle and no one was farming; People are repairing it; the city wall is deserted and no one is guarding it. The people in the city, but there are still a few serious Han people? For the northern Xinjiang, what is the difference between such a place and a slum?"
The three cities have been abandoned and have no value, even the strategic value has been greatly reduced.
The once prosperous city is now just a place for horse bandits or criminals in northern Xinjiang to hide their filth.
Like the southern barbarians, the nature of destruction and plunder far outweighs governance.
They will rob, kill and rob, but they will not manage well.
The fourth prince was angry and annoyed, but he did not dare to kill Sun Wen, because the other party's words were not false.
