A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 710 710 Secretly Destroy Chen Cang
Although the verbal promise of the Emperor of Qi was no better than a piece of waste paper and Gao Wei could deny it at any time, Yuan Wuyou had obtained the special permission after all, which gave him a reasonable excuse to recapture Mulan City.

Similarly, since she had taken over Mulan City promised by Qi, she would naturally be biased towards Qi and work for it.

At that time, Yuan Wuyou had no choice but to offend the Dangxiang for the sake of his old subordinates in order to recapture Mulan City.

At night, Yuan Wuyou was arranging the itinerary. As soon as he suggested sending his private soldiers to retake Mulan City, he was strongly opposed by the emperor's special envoy.

If she used the troops of Qi, it meant that the Lady of Runan was recovering the lost territory of Qi. If she used the troops from outside, it would be an attack. Not only would the meaning be different, it would probably be a declaration of war against Qi.

Yuan Wuyou was unwilling to bear such a heavy blame, so he had to swallow his pride and ask Gao Changgong for help, while he took Bell and his wife as the vanguard.

As a result, before they could set off, they heard urgent military information from the scouts under Gao Changgong's command, saying that people had emerged from Bowang City.

The Zhou army sharpened their swords all day and finally went out of the city to attack at night.

The development of things was exactly what Gao Yanzong had expected yesterday!
One day later, the Zhou State attacked the camp in the dead of night. However, the Qi soldiers did not sleep well last night, and did not sleep for long today, so they were caught off guard.

Fortunately, the scouts reported the news in time, and Gao Changgong and his brothers cooperated effectively and worked out a countermeasure on the spot.

At this moment, he came to inform Yuan Wuyou to suspend the plan and not leave yet, but to cooperate with the Qi army to pretend to be defeated and encircle Bowang.

So Yuan Wuyou rode up a hillside not far away, and together with the Gao brothers, stood on a commanding height to look into the distance.

She thought of what she had gotten out of Yuwen Huaibi and began to doubt the truth of his words. Didn't he say that he would not take the initiative to attack Qi in the near future? Why did he launch a night attack?
If what he said is false, then it is hard to say whether the city is an empty city tactic with government soldiers disguised as civilians.

So when Yuan Wuyou was about to remind Gao Changgong, a message came from the other side via an eagle: the emperor's younger brother, the third prince, Prince of Langya Gao Yan, was here to supervise the battle.

I heard that the Prince of Langya was exiled to attack Bowang City because he offended the emperor.

Yuan Wuyou inquired further and found out that it was because a few days ago, the princess of Chen State borrowed the land of Bowang City to negotiate a marriage with Qi State, but was raided by the Xiao family and Zhou State that night.

When King Gao Wei of Qi returned in defeat, he did not forget to take his cousin Feng with him. As a result, when the emperor returned to Yecheng, his younger brother, Prince Gao Yan of Langya, scolded him for being stupid and lustful. He even did not go to see his concubine who was about to give birth, but went to the border and put himself in danger for a new love, and even lost the city!
Gao Wei was so angry that he kept scolding him: "If you can do it, then do it!" He then sent Langya Prince Gao Yan to exile and told him to follow Lanling Prince. If he could not pacify the border, he should not return to Ye.

When Yuan Wuyou heard this, he was about to ask if Gao Wei had been cruel to his sister Feng. But then he realized that it was the order of the Lord of Qi to let Gao Changgong face the challenge, so he told him everything he had gotten from Yuwen Huaibi.

Yuan Wuyou also conveyed Yuwen Huaibi's last few words to the Gao brothers without missing a word.

Therefore, it was difficult to tell whether what Yuwen Huaibi said was true or not, but based on what she had seen and heard when she just returned from the Zhou camp, she believed that some of it was true, so she analyzed the battle situation with them.

The young female ruler here is very far-sighted and thoughtful, as if the world is under her control. Even though she speaks calmly and steadily, she can't hide her tyranny and imperial majesty from fighting for power.

Although Gao Yanzong did not go deep into the enemy camp, his own observations and guesses coincided with her inferences, and he even said it as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The wise and almost demonic male fox once again displayed his extraordinary strategy. Standing beside the Queen of Runan, King Ande was more like a counselor and general who was able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away.

The ghost-faced man sat on a white horse with a golden saddle, looking at his beloved wife and brother on his left and right. He felt that the two of them were such a perfect match at certain times, with the wife singing and the husband following, shining brightly. He felt a little sad, but did not say it.

Gao Changgong then made full use of the information that Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong had gathered, intending to use her intelligence to counter the Zhou State's strategy, cooperate internally and externally, and secretly attack Chencang, in order to counterattack the Zhou State and seize Bowang City.

But the other people in Qi Camp were skeptical about her words.

Especially Langya Prince Gao Yan, the twelve-year-old younger brother, who was at the age of being outspoken and even dogs would dislike him, he immediately questioned:
"King Fengling said this directly, and it's half true and half false. Could it be that he is colluding with the Zhou Kingdom to trick us into falling into a trap?"

Lanling Wang patted his chest and vouched for her, saying that he believed in her character. The only thing he lacked was to issue a military order to share the punishment with her.

Gao Yan continued to ask, as she was the King of Fengling of Zhou who had a dual identity and was about to take up the post of Governor of Tongzhou, could she really help Qi?

At this time, Yuan Wuyou finally empathized with the pain of Gao Wei, Yuwen Huaibi and Gao Changgong. It was so terrible to have such a brother who was always causing trouble and complaining about everything!
Compared to this, Gao Yanzong is really the best brother.

At least, although he is unreliable, he is reliable to his brother; he gets himself into trouble all the time, but never gets his brother into trouble.

He could even sow discord between his brother and the bad woman, and sacrifice himself for his brother's sake.

After all, Yuan Wuyou was in a difficult situation and even though he knew in his heart that it was because of the transaction in Mulan City, he was eager to show his loyalty and said that he was pretending to surrender to the Zhou Kingdom, taking advantage of the situation and catching the Zhou Kingdom off guard.

But Gao Changgong was in a dilemma whether to trust his fiancée who was a spy for the enemy country or to trust his brothers who shared the same hatred for the enemy.

So they laid it out for Lanling Wang to make the decision.

Gao Changgong had decided to trust Yuan Wuyou unconditionally after the previous heart-to-heart talks with her. Now he believed in her words and deeds without a doubt, and he fought for her and guaranteed her.

He even said: "Isn't it just that the city is full of soldiers pretending to be civilians? Even if the city is full of soldiers, even if we are trapped, can't I just rush to the front and kill them all?"

When Yuan Wuyou heard this, he was dumbfounded, and realized that Gao Changgong was speaking incoherently due to the panic.

When the Qi soldiers saw that their own Lanling King was so devoted to a woman that nothing could change him, they simply made a concession and offered a condition:

That is to let the Queen of Runan be the vanguard, and the rest of the people follow one mile behind to see whether she will throw herself into the arms of the Zhou State and work together inside and outside to deal with the Great Qi, or sneak through Chencang to kill the Zhou people.

In this way, even if she does something bad and turns against them, the soldiers behind her will have enough time to escape and retreat.

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou secretly hated their viciousness, but also felt complicated.

Good news: Those people in Qi State didn’t treat her as a woman!
The bad news: They didn’t treat her as a human being either.
