I should marry the traitor

Chapter 240: Seizing Jingzhou
"Father, my daughter wants to be the queen!"

Although the answer was not loud, it was so sonorous and powerful that it fell into Cao Song's ears word for word along with the sound of cicadas in the night.

As expected, ambition will expand with the awakening of blood.

Even though his daughter was once just a little follower of Yuan Mochu, she could never go back after awakening 92% of the Jiaozi bloodline.

How could a person who is 90% mixed-race be inferior to others for long? What's more, Yuan Mochu's bloodline is only 91%, which is still inferior to Cao Mengde.

Is it true that only the Yuan family can sit on the throne of the empress? Do you really think that three dukes from four generations can rule the world?

Cao Song's expression remained unchanged. He stroked his beard and asked, "Have you thought about what to do?"

Seeing that her father had no intention of objecting, Cao Mengde knew that she had made the right bet and that her father probably had some thoughts as well.

"In my daughter's opinion, although this edict is useful, it is far from the time to take effect."

"My daughter is not well-known now. Even if I make this edict public, it will not have the same influence as Yuan Mochu."

"The only plan now is to take it step by step, use this edict to secretly gather loyal and righteous people, and accumulate strength."

"When our army is strong and our horses are strong, we will drive out the evil and treachery, march into Luoyang, and return power to the emperor!"

"With such great achievements, he will naturally take the throne!"

Cao Mengde spoke passionately, with anticipation and excitement on his face, as if the vibrant scene of all things competing to flourish was right before his eyes.

However, Cao Song raised his head slightly and poured a basin of cold water on Cao Mengde.

"Do you have any soldiers?"

"Well, we can recruit soldiers."

"Do you have money and food?"

"Um, Dad, you have it."

"Where are you going to recruit soldiers?"

"Um, I haven't thought about it yet."

Cao Song rolled his eyes, but he could probably guess that young people always act on impulse and do things without any detailed planning before doing anything.

This is both a strength and a weakness. When people get old, they will think too much. Without this enthusiasm, they will start to hesitate and fail to accomplish great things.

But relying solely on brute force would not work. After all, the Cao family is not the Yuan family and does not have such a strong foundation to provide a backup.

Yuan Mochu could temporarily flee to Jizhou at night, but Cao Mengde could not.

"Then you need to think carefully, should we go to Bingzhou? Or should we go to Jingzhou?"

"Bingzhou? Jingzhou?"

Cao Song gave Cao Mengde two choices, which are the best solutions for Cao Mengde’s current situation.

Both states were battlegrounds, but with some differences.

Choosing Bingzhou means choosing the north. As for the northern region, Youzhou is too far away to be considered. We can completely annex Bingzhou first and then think about it. However, Liangzhou is the hometown of the thief Dong, and his might is still there, so we cannot act rashly.

The remaining Jizhou, Qingzhou and the like are also within the influence of the traitor Dong, and raising an army in these places will gain very little support.

The remaining Bingzhou is almost the only place where Cao Mengde can start an uprising, but he will probably be attacked and suppressed immediately after the uprising.

Although Jingzhou is located in the south and is also a place surrounded by wars, its territory is much more vast than Bingzhou, and its neighbors are not united. It is a good place to annex others and strengthen itself.

But...Yuan Mochu is in Yangzhou!
When fighting for the world, one must pay attention to distant enemies and nearby enemies. No matter how much personal relationship she had with Yuan Mochu, or how deep their childhood friendship was, when Cao Mengde raised his army in Jingzhou, the war between the two had already entered the countdown.

Cao Mengde understood that her father was not asking her where she wanted to start the rebellion, but was asking her... whether she was determined to become an enemy of Yuan Mochu?
Under the cold moonlight, after only three breaths, Cao Mengde raised his head and said with a burning gaze:
"Father."

"My daughter has made up her mind." "I choose Jingzhou."

……

……

……

Jizhou, Bohai County.

Dong Bai looked at Li Changge's letter and was immediately struck by lightning.

"Conquer Dongyou within seven days, huh?"

In seven days, we couldn’t even build a ship. Is His Majesty okay?
"What? Let me see?"

Dong Bai hadn't finished reading it yet. The impatient Qu Yi snatched the secret letter and looked at it with confusion. Did it really require him to capture Dongyou within seven days?
It seems that Your Majesty not only likes the feeling of being a micro-manipulation master, but also suffers from daydreaming.

There are 20,000 pigs in Dongyou, and they can be caught in seven days.

Dong Bai was not so impatient, so he did not snatch the secret letter back, but just came forward to take a look at it together.

The letter elaborated on why Dongyou had to be taken and why it had to be taken within seven days. In a nutshell, it was just a bunch of nonsense: I am in a hurry, urgent, urgent, urgent!!!
The two women rolled their eyes as they watched, as if the dog emperor was anxious for them to reincarnate and was eager for them to take their 60,000 troops to die as soon as possible.

But when I read to the end of the letter, I finally got to the point.

[Dongyou Deputy General Huang Xianzhi, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. ]

[You can give him a generous reward so that he will abandon darkness and join the light. ]

【If you wait in the fish market, you can wait for the rabbit. 】

Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi finished reading the secret letter while cursing, and finally looked at each other suspiciously.

"Did you know about this?"

"I only know that this Huang Xianzhi is the deputy general of Dongyou, what about you?"

"I only know that this woman is vulnerable. Last time we attacked the city, she immediately ran away when she saw that the situation was not good. She is just a cowardly rat."

"What does Huang Guoer want to do with this cowardly rat?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's just nepotism. After all, they have the same last name."

"Could this woman also be a dog... an undercover agent of your majesty?"

"Probably not. It says here that there is a huge reward for persuading her to surrender... In other words, she could be our undercover agent?"

Although Li Changge is hateful, Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi have both suffered greatly from his insidiousness and shrewdness. In other words, Li Changge is not a person who would let go for no reason.

Asking them to take over Dongyou in seven days sounds a bit ridiculous, but since Li Changge has spoken, there must be a way to solve it.

The long speech above was probably just to tease them. The real method lies in the person mentioned last.

Huang Xianzhi, Dongyou Huang Guoer's deputy general, had been unknown before. It was not until he was promoted by Huang Guoer to become her deputy general that Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi heard of this person.

Could it be possible that a person of the same clan and surname who was promoted by Huang Guoer would become a traitor?
"Although I don't know if it's true, I think we can give it a try."

"Indeed, I'm free anyway."

Qu Yiyi agreed with Dong Bai's words. After conquering Bohai County, the expedition to Dongyou entered a period of time when the entire army was repairing ships and training the navy.

The Origami King became the supervisor, and her paper doll clone was very suitable for this job.

But Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi were both bored to death. Without Li Changge around, they were bored even at night. This Phoenix Fairy Ganoderma could give them some fun.
