Chapter 208 Surviving
Su Che of Langzhou is urging the construction of a protective city in Qianguo. The defense of Qianguo is still not perfect, and the army in Su Che's hands does not have the solid defense of Langzhou. If they fight head-on in Qianguo, they are not enough to resist Hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Western Regions.

Mo Li slowly pulled up his clothes and knelt down in front of Cang Hao, "The subordinates have not yet learned about the current internal situation of each country, and only based on rough guesses, the conclusions they draw are also ambiguous. Please punish the master."

"According to the normal way of thinking, the analysis is probably not bad." Cang Hao smiled faintly, "Get up."

Mo Li pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, but still knelt on the ground motionless.

Cang Hao raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at him, "What else is there?"

"Before this subordinate owed me a punishment." Mo Li stretched his body, seemed a little nervous, but still said expressionlessly with lowered eyes: "The subordinate's injury has healed..."

"It seems that more than a month has passed, and now you are here to ask for punishment?" Cang Hao's voice was light, and there was no trace of emotion.

However, Mo Li was shocked. He completely lost his mind that night. He no longer remembered how many people he had killed, and his injuries were serious. It took more than ten days of recuperation before he gradually recovered. The battle with the Huben Army was not in time... However, he naturally would not and did not dare to explain, no matter what the reason, explaining is equal to arguing, arguing is equal to evading responsibility, which means begging for mercy...

"This subordinate is guilty, please punish me severely."

Heavy punishment... Cang Hao raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "I just woke up from the bed not long ago, is it possible that I still want to go back and lie down for ten days and a half months?"

Mo Li didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only whisper: "This subordinate lost his mind because of his eagerness for revenge, and didn't take his own life seriously, which made the master angry. The master said...to settle with the subordinate... ..."

In the end, the voice was almost inaudible.

"Get up." Cang Hao just said so lightly, "It's been so long, and I don't have the intention to settle things with you anymore, so I'll just treat you as a escaped catastrophe."

Escaped a catastrophe... The corners of Yixiu's mouth twitched slightly, this was something that was unthinkable in the past.

Not to mention heavy punishment, the master's means, even if it is only a moderate punishment, is definitely enough for them to bear.

"Yes." Mo Li didn't dare to say anything more, stood up and fell silent again.

"The western region will fall into civil strife within three or two days, and there is no extra time to deal with Su Che." His eyes were locked on the chessboard, and Cang Hao's slender jade fingers pointed to one of them, his elegant voice seemed extremely leisurely and calm.

Yixiu, Ziyu, and Moli looked in the direction at the same time, only to realize that the master listed the topographical maps of the nine countries in the world with black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Yixiu said: "The internal strife that the master mentioned means that the emperor is critically ill, and how many sons are vying for the throne?"

The toughness of the people in the Western Regions is not only reflected in the army. When the emperor was in his prime, the conspiracy and calculations among the princes had been put on the bright side. Now that the emperor is in his dying years, the struggle for the throne is not even more serious Unscrupulous.

The mountains and rivers of the Western Regions have always advocated the rule of the capable. The current emperor snatched the throne from the head of the prince by stepping on thousands of corpses. The emperor has always turned a blind eye to the struggle between his sons. Without interfering, he believes that only those who have survived the cruel conspiracy and calculation are qualified to be the rulers of the Western Regions.

Moreover, he is too conceited, always thinking that no matter how things develop, they cannot escape his control, the final decision is still in his hands, and he has enough ability to clean up the mess... But he never thought that he would actually Meet death so soon.

Well, the emperor of the Western Regions seems to be in his early fifties this year.Perhaps he can only be blamed for being too flirtatious. The powerful harem is also the biggest factor causing today's chaos.Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the emperor is, once he accumulates too many romantic debts, it will be difficult to escape the fate of falling into the hands of a woman in the end.

"How much do you know about the current situation in the Western Regions, Li?"

"What the Western Regions have to face is not just the struggle between the crown princes." Mo Li pondered slightly, looked at his master, and boldly guessed, "The emperor still has his breath, as long as he hangs his breath, even if the fight is over The blood flow is only to eliminate the strength of the opponent. If the emperor does not die for a day, no one would dare to rebel and proclaim himself emperor without the edict of succession. The key should be, how long can the emperor's tone last?"

"And once the emperor dies, the battle for the throne that is waiting for an opportunity will really begin, and it will soon come to an end. Once the last person who wins takes the throne, he will definitely start internal rectification and foreign wars immediately. The civil war in the Western Regions continues. If it takes too long, the economy and military strength will be greatly depleted, and once it is ready to fight abroad, there will be a shortage of war horses and weapons, so the first to bear the brunt is Qianguo and Langzhou."

Cang Hao nodded slowly, "That's right, the Western Regions are too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no threat to the Qian Kingdom for the time being. The dying emperor, relying on the imperial doctor to hang his precious medicinal materials, will linger on for a while. As for when the civil strife will end, when will If you can fight abroad, it is not up to them to decide."

The three of them immediately understood the meaning of their master's words, and it seemed that as expected, the current situation in the Western Regions was all within their master's expectation and control.

Yixiu frowned and pondered for a while, "Then who is the master going to deal with next?"

Cang Hao didn't answer, but looked at Yixiu instead, "Is there any news from Biyue?"

"Well, Jiuluo is in a mess now." Yixiu remembered that he received a letter from Biyue this morning, and Jiuluo seemed to be in a mess, "First, the marriage between the empress and the high priest was cancelled, and then there was a rebellion in the palace. , the empress cleared up the rebellious party, and then the high priest disappeared for no reason... The last master, Biyue, and the prime minister had encountered an assassination before, but it was not a serious problem, and now they are all staying at the Fengyilou sub-helm. The wind outside is too tight , There are notices posted everywhere to look for the high priest. The city gates are heavily guarded, they are checked day and night, and no faces are allowed to come in and out at will. Then reward 1000 taels of silver, and you can even ask the queen to be promoted to a higher rank."

"High Priest?" Cang Hao sighed lowly, then chuckled: "With Mo'er?"

"Master, can you guess this?!" Yi Xiu screamed strangely.

The High Priest of Jiuluo and Cang Yue's Queen Regent should have an irreconcilable relationship, right?When he got the news, Yixiu was really thinking about it, and finally he couldn't figure out why Su Mo could get so familiar with the noble and holy high priest who never stepped out of the priest's hall when he first arrived in Jiuluo... The master is so easy Just thinking of this, is there something hidden in it that they don't know?
