(MTL) When will the eldest prince seize the throne?

161-170

Chapter 161

    Only the winner is eligible to negotiate terms.

    The strength of Daqi's side will also make the married princess more valuable and live longer.

    But the premise is that Na Yantu will not directly kill her in a fit of anger. If this is the case, even if the gods come, they will be unable to return to heaven.

    After asking Liu Da, Li Xun was a little more sure about Li Shuyi's situation in Xirong.

    I heard that Li Shuyi was very favored by Na Yantu before the war, and even after the war, because of pregnancy, they were transferred to Changning, the dowry of Daqi. Cake, just gave them a chance to send the news.

    Li Xun can be sure that Na Yantu has some genuine feelings for this cousin.

    Then, until the last moment, life is not hindered for the time being.

    After sending Liu Da down to rest, Li Xun unfolded the map and thought about the current situation.

    In the west of Daqi and Beirong, the entire terrain is relatively high, and in the words of later generations, it is a plateau terrain.

    Today, on the Beirong Grassland, the plateau part was already occupied by Xirong when the Rong people first split.

    As for Daqi, he still sticks to Fanping and Gaoqi, the two plateau territories, so that Xirong will not completely occupy the terrain advantage.

    Judging from the direction of Xirong's advance, the target is very clear, which is Daqi's other two counties on the plateau.

    No matter in terms of geography or strength, the flames of war have not affected his territory at present.

    But the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If Daqi completely loses these two territories, if he wants to deal with Xirong in the future, the difficulty factor will increase exponentially.

    At that time, only Xirong will come down to invade Daqi and his county as he pleases. Unless they invented the airplane, they will not be able to easily counterattack Xirong.

    More importantly, now that Xirong has mastered the method of making thunder, if it is allowed to develop, when Xirong expands eastward, it will soon threaten the safety of Sucheng and other places.

    Both sides still have the grudge that he once ambushed and wiped out Xi Rong's 50,000 troops. When Xi Rong's strength develops and grows, he must be eradicated as a stumbling block.

    There is no reason to fight after raising the enemy's army.

    You must fight as soon as possible.

    But starting a war against a country does not mean that it can be fought.

    His strength has developed to the point where no one will underestimate him when facing him. If he wants to attack and win like before, it will be very difficult to find a chance.

    In this war, in most cases, it may be a frontal battle, and he must be fully prepared.

    Food, grass, and weapons are the top priorities.

    Xi Rong's rise was too sudden, he needed time to prepare.

    Therefore, relying on his people alone is not enough, and the Zhenxi Army must also guard Fanping and Gaoqi.

    After writing a letter and stamping it with a jade seal, Li Xun called his soldiers and ordered:

    "Send this letter to Fanping as quickly as possible, and give it to General Zhenxi himself.
