"Your Majesty, you can't go!"
Mi Sha's voice sounded behind Xia Zheng. "You are the ruler of a country. How can you leave Yu Chu and abandon the capital at this time? The soldiers at the frontline are fighting hard. Aren't you disappointing them by doing this? "
"Enough!"
Mi Sha's words made Xia Zheng furious. "What do you know? You can ramble on and on and on about some irrelevant nonsense here! Fine! Because the Beizhou people won't do anything to you if they catch you! But what about me? If I fall into their hands, I'll be better off dead than alive! "
"By the way, I have to 'thank' the people of Penglai Island. If it weren't for Du Yi's instigation, my father wouldn't have been stupid enough to attack the Beizhou! Now that something has happened, I don't see anyone from your island coming to help! What right do you have to accuse me?! "
"Hey, what did you say!" Seeing Xia Zheng's bad attitude toward Mi Sha, Xia Xue was furious. She put her hand on the hilt of her sword and looked at Xia Zheng coldly. "I dare you to say it again!"
"I said it. What can you do to me? Do you want to kill me? "
Xia Zheng stared at Xia Xue with a ferocious expression. "I remember now. When Du Yi instigated my father to send troops, you went to the Beizhou. Don't tell me you colluded with the North Zhou Kingdom to deal with East Lu? Yes, that must be it! You two acted separately. One asked us to send troops to attack Beizhou, and the other reached an agreement with them in Beizhou. The purpose was to overthrow Donglu! "
At this point, Xia Zheng finally came to a realization. Everything that happened to Donglu was now blamed on Misha and Penglai Island behind him. "I served you with good wine and good meat, but it turns out that you are the masterminds behind the scenes! Someone, arrest them! "
"Stop!" Just as Xia Zheng was about to order for Mi Sha and Xia Xue to be arrested, Jun Lanxin rushed over. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?!"
"Imperial Grandmother, I think it's their fault that Donglu is in such a situation!" Xia Zheng pointed at Mi Sha. "I think this is a conspiracy of Penglai Island!"
"Enough!" Seeing Xia Zheng being so insensible, Jun Lanxin felt a headache coming on, "Your Majesty, what time is it, don't make trouble again! The enemy is right in front of us. If we fight among ourselves and the Beizhou Kingdom finds out, wouldn't they laugh at us? "
Jun Lanxin was now the Empress Dowager and had some prestige in the court. Xia Zheng had just ascended to the throne, so there were many things he needed to rely on his Imperial Grandmother. So when Jun Lanxin said this, Xia Zheng swallowed his anger and no longer talked back. "Anyway, no matter what, I will leave Yu Chu! This place is no longer safe. I do not wish to become the ruler of a subjugated kingdom! "
Jun Lanxin could not object to Xia Zheng's decision. Seeing the new successor of East Lu like this, Misha could not help but sneer.
He had rushed over after a bumpy journey. He originally wanted to turn the situation around, but he didn't expect Xia Zheng to be such a bastard. He had read the intelligence reports in his hands. This time, Feng Cang was determined to win the East Lu Kingdom. Just by relying on his own strength, he would not be able to turn the situation around. Furthermore, he had encountered such a muddle-headed ruler. To win against Feng Cang and drive the North Zhou Kingdom out of the East Lu Kingdom was even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Misha slowly said, "After studying the information, I found that the Beizhou Kingdom's battle line is very long. If Feng Cang is still in a hurry to advance, the battle line will be too long, and the provisions will not be able to be supplied. In the end, they will be the ones to suffer."
"Go on!" Jun Lanxin quickly silenced Xia Zheng, wanting to listen to Misha's opinion.
"The Beizhou Kingdom's grain escort is the State Princess, Feng Qiqi. Everyone in North Zhou knows that the State Princess and the Prince Regent are a couple. Now that Feng Qiqi is in Min Province, if we send a group of cavalry to attack Min Province, we can first destroy the grain. First, we can burn the rations so that Feng Cang will have no one to rely on. Second, we can capture Feng Qiqi and use her to threaten Feng Cang!
"Capture Feng Qiqi to threaten Feng Cang? Do you think Feng Cang is stupid? Would he give up his country for a woman? If it were you, would you be willing? "Xia Zheng was very dismissive of Misha's suggestion.
"I would be willing!" Misha's answer stunned Xia Zheng. Then, he sneered, "Easy for you to say! In any case, I won't fall for your tricks again! I don't want to hear these words of yours! I feel that all of this smells like a conspiracy. I don't want to waste any more time with you. I want to leave the capital — "
"Your Majesty! If you leave, the people's hearts will be divided. Then, even if we have a chance to turn defeat into victory, we will lose the opportunity and end up in failure. "
Seeing Xia Zheng like this, Jun Lanxin felt a little disappointed. This grandson was the one she loved the most, which was why she asked Du Yi to think of a way to let Xia Zheng inherit the throne. However, seeing Xia Zheng like this, Jun Lanxin's heart wavered. She was not sure if she had made the right choice in choosing Xia Zheng!
"Imperial Grandmother, since you trust Misha so much, I will give him 5,000 troops! I will not agree to anything else! "
Xia Zheng flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind a stunned Jun Lanxin. After a long time, Jun Lanxin realized that there was an outsider next to her. Her stiff expression reluctantly melted. "Misha, I'm sorry! The Emperor was upset because of the recent things, so he said such a thing. He has no other intentions towards Penglai Island. Please don't take it to heart. "
Jun Lanxin had very complicated feelings towards Penglai Island, the place where she grew up. She did not love it, nor did she hate it. But now, she was very clear that at this time, only Penglai Island could save East Lu. Therefore, even though she was the Empress Dowager of East Lu, she still had to put down her pride and apologize to Misha.
"I know. Anyone would be in a bad mood when faced with such a situation. However, I hope you can consider my suggestion carefully. This may be the only way to stop Feng Cang's advancement! "
No matter how Misha arranged Jun Lanxin's thoughts, Xia Zheng was useless. He did not want to work hard to support such a useless ruler. Compared to East Lu's empire, Misha wanted to see Murong Qiqi sooner. He needed an excuse to 'trick' Jun Lanxin into giving him troops.
Just like Misha, Jun Lanxin also agreed with his sudden attack strategy. However, compared to this matter, Jun Lanxin was more concerned about Penglai Island's help to East Lu.
