Chapter 496 Li Ru offers advice, the empress makes a request!

Although Ning Fan said that he was asking for advice from everyone, his eyes were looking straight at Li Ru who was silent.

The coalition of princes, the army knocking on the gate, this game Li Ru is an old player!

It's just a low-end game.

"Lord!"

As if he noticed Ning Fan's gaze, Li Ru took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and said softly: "The nine princes have now settled in the nine passes, and many contradictions are bound to arise."

"I have three strategies that can make the nine princes collapse."

After hearing Li Ru's words, everyone looked at him. People like Dian Wei and Ran Min all looked suspicious. They didn't know who this person was and how dare he speak so arrogantly!

And Xu Chu looked expectant. In his previous life, he stood on the opposing camp of the coalition of princes, and now, it happened to be. It can be said that Li Ru has more say than Guo Jia.

"First, use the strategy of sowing discord."

"As far as I know, among the nine princes, King Zhao is aloof, arrogant, narrow-minded, and intolerant. If the lord sends people to win him over, this group of princes can be defeated!"

"Second, use the strategy of delay."

"The nine princes' coalition forces have a large number of troops and horses, and the food and grass supplies they need are astronomical figures. Although the princes are now united for the sake of justice, they will not be able to use them for a few days. The food and grass of the three princes, including King Han and King Bei, which have farther supply lines, are not enough. The supply may not be able to keep up. "

"Third, carry out a counter-espionage plan."

"The reason why the princes can unite this time is because the King of Qi, one of the nine princes, summoned them. If the princes do not respond, they will lose their righteousness within the mountains and rivers."

"In this case, the lord only needs to send people to spread rumors, saying that the King of Qi summoned the princes to resist Dali in order to weaken the power of the princes. "

"Three years ago, the King of the North and the King of the Cold fought, and the King of the Cold took down the whole family of the King of the North. The lord only needs to leave The alliance of the princes can be broken by the plan of spies. "

After Li Ru's voice fell, Ning Fan also fell into a brief contemplation. After a long time, he looked at Xu Chu and said: "Zhongkang, you set off immediately and go to Nanman, go..."

After Ning Fan's explanation, Xu Chu left in high spirits, and then looked at Li Ru and said: "Wenyou, your three strategies are feasible. Now my army has conquered eight passes in a row, and the morale is high. The nine passes have been exposed to our cavalry. "

"Now, the alliance of the princes will meet, and they will never shrink back. If you don't go out, you will be ridiculed by the world. Therefore, our army can hold the Eightfold Pass and defeat the enemy at the pass."

"As for the counter-espionage and alienation strategies you just mentioned, leave it to you. Whether it requires people or money, I will cooperate with you fully."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, my lord."

After hearing Ning Fan's address to Li Ru, everyone understood the identity of this young scholar, especially the generals of the Three Kingdoms period, who all looked at this handsome young man with fear.

"Everyone, start preparing for war after you go down!"

"Yes!"

Everyone left, only Mu Qingcheng sat there, and didn't move for a long time.

"Chat?"

Ning Fan showed a hint of surprise on his face, and looked at Mu Qingcheng's face with a bit of seriousness, and then nodded slightly: "Let's go, let's go out together."

The two walked out of the hall one after another, and Dian Wei and a guard of the empress followed behind them from a distance, looking around vigilantly.

A cold moon hangs in the dark sky. The moonlight on a winter night is not bright, but it is even more charming under the cover of a few wisps of mist.

"When you conquer the pass, can you lend me these 100,000 soldiers for two months?"

"Oh?"

Ning Fan showed some doubt on his face, looked at the empress and said with a smile: "With our relationship, let alone borrowing troops, even if you lend them to me, I will not refuse."

"However, these 100,000 soldiers under my command are picky, stupid, and have bad tempers. Most people cannot subdue them. Your Majesty, you might as well tell me what you want to borrow them for. If it doesn't work, I will go for them."

"Heh!" Mu Qingcheng sneered and said lightly: "How do you think you can compare with 100,000 troops?"

"Because, these 100,000 troops are all commanded by me!"

"As long as I give an order, even if I ask all of them to commit suicide on the spot, these 100,000 soldiers will never have a single one, your majesty believes it?"

Looking at Ning Fan's confident and calm look, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes that is difficult to conceal, Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Can a military order make all 100,000 soldiers under his command commit suicide?

She didn't believe it, but she had to believe it.

Through this period of time, she knew that the army under the command of King Yong, from generals to soldiers, was extremely loyal, and it was difficult to conceal the pride when mentioning King Yong.

It seemed that he had a blind worship of his master.

"You can't help me, but if I can command this 100,000-strong army for more than a month..."

"You want to attack Dayan?"

"No!"

Mu Qingcheng shook her head, and Ning Fan seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed: "Recover Lingyou?"

"Yes!"

"Lingyou has been the territory of Dali since ancient times. Since King Lingyou rebelled against Dali thirty years ago, Lingyou has become a land without a master, but it occupies an extremely important position in Dali."

"If Lingyou can be recovered, I can raise 300,000 troops within a year."

"Moreover, the garrison in Lingbei can also be withdrawn, and there is no need to guard Lingyou every year to guard against it."

"I can connect the southwest of Dali with the interior..."

Mu Qingcheng was very serious when she spoke, and her eyes were fixed on Ning Fan's face, which seemed to be a little apprehensive.

Ning Fan did not rush to answer, but fell into deep thought. The empress wanted to recapture Lingyou, which was of no benefit to him. In fact, once Dali conquered Lingyou, it would directly threaten the southwest border.

As I said before, a half-dead Dali is a good Dali.

"What can I get?"

Ning Fan's mouth curled up slightly, with a wicked smile, and his eyes swept back and forth on Mu Qingcheng's body unscrupulously. Now that the mission has been completed and the reward has been obtained, there is no need to continue licking...

This 100,000-man army is his trump card. It is no exaggeration to say that the Qihuo Army, the White Robe Army, the Wei Wuzu, the Black Armor Army, etc. are enough to compete with any of the five countries in the Central Plains.

There is even a high probability that he will not lose. Do you want him to help others fight for no reason?

"I am willing to cede the seven border towns in the southeast."

"No!"

Ning Fan did not even think about it, and shook his head to refuse, saying calmly: "If I were to plot against your seven border towns, I would not need to mobilize 100,000 troops. I could just let Chen Qingzhi lead 10,000 white-robed troops to attack the city, and we would be able to break through the city within seven days."

"Does your majesty believe it?"
