"Are you sure that the Han people you saw outside Dihu Khan's golden tent are Wang Sheng, the deputy general of King Xiao Huang of Qin?"

In the study room, Yao Ce fixed his eyes on Luo Zhao, the chief soldier, as if he wanted to see his heart through his eyes.

He and Tai Shizheng were also invited to the mansion by King Qi Xiao Jie, and the two of them hurried to Xiao Jie's study, but they didn't expect to hear such unbelievable news from the mouth of the personal soldier Luo Zhao.

Yao Ce couldn't believe it for a while, and asked Luo Zhao again out of caution.

Luo Zhao didn't avoid Yao Ce's gaze, but just shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's shopkeeper Yu. He said he saw Wang Sheng outside Dihuyda Khan's golden tent. At first I couldn't believe it. I asked shopkeeper Yu if he might have misidentified the person, but shopkeeper Yu said that he relied on these eyes to eat, and he would never be wrong. The person he saw outside the golden tent was Wang Sheng, the deputy general of King Qin. Saying that I saw him years ago when the Liangzhou army triumphantly entered the city, I would definitely not mistake him."

Hearing what Luo Zhao said so firmly, Yao Ce couldn't help but believe a little bit, frowning for a moment and fell silent, as if he was thinking about something silently.

"I believe that the person Shopkeeper Yu saw was Wang Sheng." Tai Shizheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Xiao Jie couldn't help looking at Tai Shizheng, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so sure, Mister?"

Tai Shizheng smiled coldly: "Because this is already his last chance."

"Last chance?" Xiao Jie was slightly taken aback, but then seemed to understand something.

Tai Shizheng nodded, and said in a cold voice: "A few months ago, the assassination of Concubine Su involved King Qin's steward, uncle and concubine mother. In the minds of all the subjects in the world, King Qin still has suspicions that cannot be washed away. After this incident, King Qin has basically lost the chance to aspire to the Eastern Palace, if he still does not give up on the crown prince, he can only find another opportunity."

"And now the last chance is Dihu. As long as he can wipe out Dihu, he can quell the troubles in the north for Daning in one fell swoop. In this way, he can not only gain unprecedented prestige, but also use it to control a large number of soldiers. Ma, at that time, even if the emperor still favors His Royal Highness, he will have to consider the attitude of the people in the world and the military power in the hands of the King of Qin, so that Daning will not fight with the same family, he can only make the King of Qin the crown prince."

"Brother Taishi is right." Yao Ce also figured out the key point, and said on the sidelines, "It's just that although the king of Qin controls one hundred thousand Liangzhou troops, he has also received the support of his father-in-law, the governor of Liangzhou, Wang Cheng." Full support, but Dihu's army is strong and strong, and it is not easy to deal with. If the expedition is outside the Great Wall, there is not much chance of winning. The best strategy is to lure Dihu into the pass, use the tall and strong city in the Central Plains to continuously consume the strength of the Dihu people, and finally make another move Gather and annihilate them, and completely wipe out the Dihu people."

"And the key lies in how to lure the Dihu people into the customs. I think the king of Qin asked his deputy Wang Shengyuan to go outside the Great Wall to pretend to join Dihu Khan, and took the opportunity to encourage Dihu Khan to send troops to the Central Plains. Catch them all."

However, Tai Shizheng sighed silently: "According to King Qin's strategy, our Daning has a chance to completely wipe out Dihu, but he never thought that the Dihu people are fierce and brutal. How many cities were caught in the flames of war, and how many innocent people died tragically under the iron hooves and machetes of the Dihu people... This is really a big injustice."

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Although the King of Qin acts unscrupulously, he is ruthless and decisive." Yao Ce was a little disapproving, and even had a flash of appreciation in his eyes inadvertently.

Tai Shizheng glanced at Yao Ce with complicated eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Jie looked at Tai Shizheng, then at Yao Ce, feeling secretly in his heart that the system's moral assessment of the two of them was really accurate.

It can be seen that the blackened Xiao Huang still likes Yao Ce very much. Fortunately, he recruited Yao Ce before Xiao Huang. It's too late to regret it.

"Since we already know Xiao Huang's plan, what should we do next, should we inform Father about this?" Xiao Jie changed the subject in a timely manner to avoid a estrangement between the two of them.

Yao Ce shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness can let the emperor know about this matter, and the emperor will definitely send someone to ask King Qin secretly, but King Qin can also deal with this matter with the excuse of eliminating Di Hu, but he did not ask the emperor for instructions after all. The emperor must be somewhat dissatisfied with this risky plan. However, for the sake of the overall situation, the emperor will eventually approve King Qin's strategy, and use Wang Sheng to lure the Dihu people into the pass to completely wipe out the northern border troubles."

Xiao Jie was silent in his heart, he knew Yao Ce was right, his father was a wise king, but he was not a benevolent king, as the son of Daning, he must put the safety of the country above the life and death of the people, He has always regarded the Dihu people as Daning's confidantes, and he is always worried about the recurrence of the Dihu Yuwen Department's entry into the Central Plains.

Although Xiao Huang's strategy is vicious, it is indeed a great opportunity to completely wipe out the Dihu people. Presumably, there is a high probability that his father will acquiesce to Xiao Huang's poisonous strategy.

However, in this way, it would be meaningless for me to tell my father about this matter, and if my father approves of Xiao Huang's strategy, I would look like a clown who almost ruined his great affairs.

Tai Shizheng seemed to have seen Xiao Jie's concerns, he groaned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It is really not appropriate for Your Highness to come forward. Although Song Guifei and Song Duan committed suicide at the beginning, the emperor also understands the relationship between the two of them. The death is more or less related to His Highness, if His Highness tells His Majesty about Wang Sheng at this time, it is inevitable that he will chase after him and add insult to injury, but it will easily make His Majesty suspect that His Highness has ulterior motives and affect His Majesty's perception of His Highness."

Xiao Jie nodded silently, he knew that what Tai Shizheng said was right, anyone could tell his father about Wang Sheng, but he couldn't, who told him that his identity was so sensitive, and his relationship with Xiao Huang was so delicate now, it was very difficult. It is easy to think that he repeatedly targeted Xiao Huang because of the battle for the heir apparent.

Yao Ce who was at the side suddenly smiled mysteriously: "It is indeed inappropriate for Your Highness to come forward and inform the emperor of this matter, but I believe that if someone finds out about this matter, they will rush to the emperor to report the king of Qin."

Xiao Jie seemed to have thought of something, and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Yao said..."

Yao Ce smiled faintly, and slowly said a name: "Of course it is the Eighth Prince, Xiao Xun, King of Han."
