I should marry the traitor

Chapter 293 Bad man!
The trick of three times three times can be played, but it is not necessary.

With Li Changge's current strength, it would not be a problem for him to directly remove Yuan Kui. At least now no one in the court dares to stand up and oppose it.

Looking at the disheartened Yuan Kui, Cao Song sighed secretly and also stood up.

Theoretically speaking, there is still a big difference between Cao Mengde and Yuan Mochu. After all, Cao Mengde still has Li Changge's secret decree in his hand.

However, the emperor's secret decree must be recognized by the emperor. Considering Li Changge's current shamelessness, it must be of no use.

Of course, the Cao family did not have as much influence as the Yuan family, nor was it Li Changge's main target of weakening. After paying the price of repairing the garden for the dog emperor, Li Changge went easy on Cao Mengde.

Next, it’s time for the emperor to lead the army in person on a simple difficulty level.

Thirty thousand Beishuo cavalrymen rushed to Yuzhou, and with the cooperation of a small navy, they had already surrounded Yuan Mochu. One hundred thousand Nanli soldiers were also ready to go, waiting for Li Changge's order to take Jingzhou and Yangzhou directly.

Bingzhou and Yangzhou have long been in Li Changge's pocket. Once the armies of Yuan, Cao and Sun are defeated, Yizhou can naturally be taken by a single order!

Li Changge announced the southern expedition in the Golden Palace, and then allocated 50,000 elite cavalry from the Western Liang army, allocated food and fodder, and marched south soon.

……

……

……

In Yangzhou, the capital of Kuaiji County, Yuan Mochu, Cao Mengde and Sun Baifu held a meeting.

They all have their own channels, and the news of the emperor's coming to power has been delivered to them at full speed.

Sun Baifu had no feelings about this. After all, she and Li Changge did not interact much. Apart from sighing that he was truly a heroic lord, she did not have much feeling.

But Yuan Mochu and Cao Mengde had a completely different feeling.

The two women felt as if their hearts were bleeding due to the feeling of being severely deceived.

Bad man, so bad!!!
"Should we negotiate with the imperial court? After all, we are rebelling against the thief Dong, right? It seems that there is no need to rebel now."

Sun Baifu, who had no hatred towards Li Changge, suggested peace talks. After all, if they wanted to negotiate terms, they would definitely be able to get a higher offer by using the troops they still had.

Facing Sun Baifu's proposal, Yuan Mochu immediately rejected it:
"Talk? Talk about what? What is there to talk about?"

"They have soldiers, and so do we. Why doesn't he come and talk to me?"

"It's just a battle, we may not lose!"

Sun Baifu felt that Yuan Mochu was acting on impulse. She was about to say something, but Cao Mengde stopped her with his hand.

"Although Mo Chu said it in anger, it does make sense."

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table either."

"Even if we want to talk, we have to fight first. If the other side doesn't pay a price, they will think we can do whatever we want."

Compared to Yuan Mochu who was already having fun, Cao Mengde was much calmer.

However, being calm does not mean that Cao Mengde is not jealous. She is different from Yuan Mochu. She is already a concubine in the palace, which means that she and Li Changge are deeply bound together. Under such circumstances, Li Changge actually deceived her like this. How could Cao Mengde, a jealous mixed-blood, not bear a grudge?

But Cao Mengde knew very well that he and his men would have to surrender sooner or later. After all, the situation was hopeless. Even if they could hold the city for a short period of time, it would be impossible for them to continue to fight with Li Changge like this.

But he had to touch Li Changge and tear off a piece of flesh from him to relieve Cao Mengde's hatred.

Moreover, only by hurting the imperial court can we negotiate the conditions properly. Otherwise, we will be at the mercy of others and what else is there to negotiate?

Sun Baifu suspected that the two of them were a little too excited, but her brain wasn't very good, and she couldn't figure out the complicated situation. "What do you think, Mu Jin?"

Zhou Mujin was waiting outside while the three of them had a secret conversation. After all, with her current status, Zhou Mujin was not qualified to participate in a secret conversation between three top hybrids.

But since it was Sun Ce who called her, she walked in.

"I agree with Lord Cao and Lord Yuan's opinions. Just as Lord Cao said, if you can't get it on the battlefield, you naturally can't get it at the negotiation table."

"But now the enemy is strong and I am weak, so I need to think carefully about how to deal with the enemy."

"Why don't you go talk to Patriarch Chunyang? The Sword Saint's ideas should be very important."

The three of them fell into deep thought after hearing this. Although Yuan, Cao and Sun together amounted to three super hybrids, their opponents were even more terrifying. Therefore, the power of the Yu family's swordsman was indispensable.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Pang Xun’er, the new governor of Nanli who Li Changge just appointed, as an example, she is a Nine Nether Python hybrid with 95% bloodline.

With the blood of a top demon and the highest blood concentration in the world, Yuan Mochu and Sun Baifu had both seen how terrifying Pang Xun'er's combat power was during the battle at the Qin Shihuang's Tomb.

It would be difficult to deal with such a powerful opponent, so the support of Patriarch Chunyang is indispensable.

Sword cultivators are all good at fighting. With the help of Patriarch Chunyang, perhaps Cao Mengde can barely stop the new governor of Nanli.

"No need, I'm already here."

With a powerful voice, a sharp sword sound, and a flowing sword light, the Sword Master of the Yu Family has quietly arrived.

"Lord Sword Master."

"Meet Xuanji Patriarch."

"Grandpa Yu, you are here."

Yu Xuanji, the swordsman of the Yu family, calls himself an old man, but in terms of age he is actually not that old.

Seventy years old is already the twilight of life for ordinary people, but for innate warriors, their energy and blood are far from declining; it is better to say that they are in their prime.

A peerless swordsman with abundant Qi and blood must be respected even by top hybrids.

"No need to be polite."

"I am here this time, willing to go with Lord Cao to guard Jingnan."

"I had a hasty farewell in the tomb of the First Emperor last time, and I was not able to fight with that top hybrid who was 95% accurate. It was a pity."

As a sword cultivator, Yu Xuanji spoke without any beating around the bush, which made people a little uncomfortable with his straightforwardness.

But perhaps only people like this have the opportunity to become innate swordsmen.

Yu Xuanji made no secret of his desire to fight. He had once caught a glimpse of how strong Pang Xun'er was, but it was a pity that he never had the chance to fight with her. This time he could finally fulfill his wish.

But Sun Baifu didn't understand: "Grandpa Yu, do we have to fight?"

“This battle must be fought.”

"The current emperor is too mean and ungrateful, especially to the noble families."

"If we can't gain some say in this battle, aristocratic families like us will have a hard time in the next hundred years."
