Chapter 668 The Empress's Conditions!
Mu Qingcheng was silent. Although Shen Yu did not come up with any specific strategies to save the country, his words made her feel like she had received reassurance, and the stone hanging in her heart dropped a little.
As he said, Dali is not at the end of its rope yet, and there is still room for recovery.
But, is the person in front of her worthy of her trust?
"Your Majesty, give me three days, and I can turn the tide of the war in the north."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingcheng's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"nature!"
Ning Fan smiled confidently and said calmly: "In response to the current situation in Dali, I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower. I wonder if your majesty would be willing to listen carefully?"
"Elaborate!"
"The so-called next strategy is to recruit civilians, build armor on a large scale, gather all the troops on the south bank of the Li River, defend the river, and attack halfway across the river. Although Da Yan has millions of troops, its material losses must be an extremely terrifying figure. Rao It’s Da Yan, and it’s impossible to fight for a year and a half.”
"As long as Da Yan's military front is defeated, Da Li can delay at least three months, waiting for a good opportunity."
"Where's Zhongce?"
"The central strategy is to unite Yu to fight against Yan. Now Dayu and Dayu are nominal allies. Dayan's army will go south and expose their flanks to Xuanjian Pass. In this way, they will inevitably divide their troops to defend against Dayu's side. "
"If your majesty can persuade Dayu's court to unite against Yan, and with the coordination of the two parties, Dayu will only need to send a small group of cavalry to harass Dayan's grain roads from the flanks and even the rear, and fight to the death with Dayan on the Li River!"
"Too risky."
Mu Qingcheng still shook his head, and Ning Fan said with a smile: "In this case, Your Majesty may have to choose the best option."
"If the best plan still doesn't impress me..."
"I will always sleep with your Majesty."
"The so-called best strategy is to join forces across the board and across the country, to make friends from far away and attack close by!"
"you mean?"
"Send an envoy to Hu Nu."
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, Mu Qingcheng frowned and said calmly: "Hu Nugao just negotiated peace with Da Yan, how can he agree to join forces with us?"
"It doesn't matter whether Hu Nu agrees or not."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty, where did Da Yan's million-strong army come from?"
"Part of it is the main force in the south, and nearly 700,000 are dispatched from the north."
"good!"
Ning Fan smiled and said calmly: "Now the northern border of Da Yan is empty, and the Hunu are their thorn in the side. The two countries have been at war for many years and can be described as world feuds. Although they are united now for temporary benefits, what about Da Yan? Will you trust easily?"
"As long as Da Li sends an envoy to Hu Nu, no matter whether it succeeds or not, Da Yan will not risk being stabbed in the back by Hu Nu and continue to go south."
"At that time, His Majesty only needs to release the news that Dali and Hunu are uniting. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Dayan will definitely feel uneasy. If they move their troops back to defend, it will reduce the pressure on our northern border."
"If they make a desperate move, Your Majesty only needs to make a wedge. When the peace agreement between Hu Nu and Da Yan collapses, my crisis in Da Li will naturally be resolved easily."
"How to separate?"
"There are so many ways to alienate each other. I won't explain them all below. I will have my own strategy when the time comes."
"The way to unite vertically and horizontally lies in the word 'harmony', not only with Dayu, but also with Hu Nu, Wu Shu, and even with foreign tribes such as Mobei!"
"However, before that, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to take charge of the Phoenix Tower!"
Listening to Ning Fan's powerful words, Mu Qingcheng was suddenly stunned. She didn't understand where did Shen Yu get his confidence?
He dared to tease her, because he was sure he could survive under his hands?
Now, he has announced that he will take charge of the Phoenix Tower. Does he think that taking charge of the Phoenix Tower can reverse the current situation in Dali?
Her Majesty the Empress cannot understand.
"Why?"
"I destroyed Da Yan's intelligence network in Da Li in just two days."
The empress fell silent and was at a loss for words. As he said, in just two days, as an ordinary Phoenix Station head catcher, he destroyed Da Yan's intelligence network in Dali. If the Phoenix Station was handed over to him, what would happen again? What effect can it exert?
"What if I don't agree?"
"Whether you agree or not, it all depends on Your Majesty. The great times are coming and Dali is dead. I will just choose another Ming Dynasty."
"I'm sure."
Mu Qingcheng took a deep breath and said calmly: "I will give you a month. If you don't see your value, not only will you lose your position as leader, but I will also take you away."
"yes!"
Ning Fan smiled confidently, then raised his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to ask of you."
"What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask for permission from the imperial power. I will kill you first and report later. I have the right to do whatever is convenient for you!"
"What!"
Mu Qingcheng's pupils shrank suddenly, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and he looked at Ning Fan: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I understand."
"Does Your Majesty know Dayu's royal guards?"
"nature!"
"Why was it that Jinyiwei was able to reorganize Yu's court in just a few months?"
"Because of the privileges granted to them by the imperial power, why did King Yong dare to massacre corrupt officials? Because Emperor Yu gave him a platform."
"Now, I have His Majesty's support behind me, but I still can't let go."
"Anyway, Dali is not far away from the end of the country. Why don't you let me have some trouble?"
"How dare you!" Mu Qingcheng's pretty face was instantly filled with coldness, and she said in a cold voice: "If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kill you. Even if you have the talent to assist the king, I will not use you. I can tolerate a madman, but I will never tolerate a lunatic."
"In this case, I have to thank your majesty for not killing you."
"The right to act at your own convenience?"
"Hmph, I will give you three days. If you can make Dali win a game, I will allow you to kill first and report later."
"Win against Dayan?"
"This is not difficult." Ning Fan smiled, with a sharp light in his eyes: "Not only can I make Dali win a game, but I can also make Dali take back Liyang City and advance the border to the north by 70 miles."
"When Really?"
"The result will be clear in three days, but an imperial edict is needed from His Majesty."
"Say!"
"The edict of appointment of the leader of Phoenix Terrace."
"Approved!"
Mu Qingcheng agreed very happily this time, and wrote an imperial edict by hand, stamped it with the seal and handed it to Ning Fan: "Shen Yu, you are a talented person. I am not without tolerance, but no matter whether it is arrogance or pride, only talent is the capital of arrogance and pride."
"Do you... understand?"
"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will take note of it."
Ning Fan took the imperial edict, and subconsciously raised Mu Qingcheng's chin with his little finger. After feeling a chilling murderous intent, he quickly retracted his hand.
If he really did this, he might not be able to leave the Litian Palace, unless his identity was exposed, but in that case, the mission would not be completed.
