Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, I didn't expect you to be the most capable!"

"I've only been out for half a year, and I've already accumulated such a rich fortune."

Prince Ning Qing stood condescendingly on the city wall, how could he look like he was sick?

"Prince, you and I, brothers, can only meet each other in this way now? Don't you dare to go out of the city to see me?"

Ning Fan stood under the city and sneered.

Prince Ning Qing shook his head and said: "When you defeat the rebels, my father and I will celebrate your victory! But now that you have a large army, I have to guard against you."

Ning Fan nodded and said: "The prince is the crown prince, and he is careful in everything for the sake of his own prosperity. As a younger brother, I understand! But how is my father's health? Give my regards to my father."

"There's no need to say hello. You'd better fight well and relieve the siege of the capital for my father. My father will naturally remember your kindness."

Ning Qing stood on the top of the city wall and laughed.

When Prince Ning Qing left the city wall, Ning Fan discovered that there were many crossbowmen around him who had been aiming at him.

This feeling made Ning Fan very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, we'd better go back early."

Chen Yuanqing beside him whispered.

Ning Fan nodded and left the capital for half a year. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he would be unable to take a step back.

The prince Ning Qing was unwilling to step out of the city, but he, Ning Fan, did not dare to step in easily.

Both sides are on guard, both sides are afraid.

Now that Ning Fan had clearly revealed the car and the horse, the prince naturally saw the clues.

This time, using these rebels to consume Jiangzhou's strength was the prince's first move.

Is it true that the imperial court is unable to quell the rebellion?

there must be!

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Dakang is facing its weakest moment since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it cannot be shaken by a mere mob.

Just mobilizing a few armies can easily extinguish this flame.

However, the prince did not do this. Instead, he made a big detour and asked Ning Fan to lead troops to quell the rebellion. The purpose was actually very simple, which was to weaken Ning Fan's strength.

"Your Highness, why don't we just sit back and watch, I don't believe it. The imperial court's 70,000-strong Beida camp cannot be dispatched!"

"These old soldiers receive military pay every month but do nothing. We travel thousands of miles to defend the capital. Not only do your Majesty and the Crown Prince not have a word of comfort, they don't even work for us. Brothers don't want to work anymore!"

Chen Yuanqing became emotional.

Ning Fan shook his head and said: "When you don't understand some things, it's best not to make random guesses! I decided to come to Kyoto for King Qin this time. Now that I'm here, I have to go all out."

"Don't the prince want these peasant armies to weaken our strength? Then let's fight a good battle, win over people's hearts, and use this opportunity to improve our record."

Ning Fan sneered.

Chen Yuanqing touched his chin and suddenly realized: "It turns out that Your Highness ate the bait and spit out the fishhook!"

But Chen Yuanqing soon became worried again: "Your Highness, if we defeat the rebels, but the prince charges us with a crime and leads an army to encircle and suppress us, it will be bad!"

Chen Yuanqing's words made Ning Fan look at him with admiration.

However, Ning Fan shook his head and said: "The better we do, the less the prince will dare to do this. After all, saliva will drown people. If the prince wants to sit in that position in the future, then he will not dare to do such a blatant thing." matter."

The two were discussing things in the camp, and soon the latest batch of information was delivered.

It turns out that the rebels have changed their direction and are no longer heading towards the capital. Instead, they are going directly north to attack the Yellow Sea, an important economic town in the north!

"No, if something happens to the Yellow Sea, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ning Fan immediately stood up with a groan.

Don't blame Ning Fan for his reaction, it's because there are experts in the rebel army.

This Yellow Sea is where Dakang made his fortune, and the tombs of Dakang's royal family are all near the Yellow Sea.

Once these thieves are allowed to approach the Yellow Sea and dig graves, it will probably greatly affect Dakang's health.

This is not because Ning Fan is superstitious, but because the mausoleum symbolizes the dignity of the emperors of Dakang. Once it is excavated, the people of the world will question the imperial power.

In time, the rebels will only sweep more people away.

"Then what should we do? We can't be exhausted and keep chasing after the rebels, right?"

Chen Yuanqing looked angry.

In fact, Chen Yuanqing represents the thoughts of the entire Dragon Scale Army. No one wants to fight this war.

After all, countering rebellion is a matter for the imperial court, and the Dragon Scale Army is only loyal to Ning Fan himself.

Ning Fan was very calm: "It's not enough to chase him. We can divide our forces into two groups and secretly attack Chencang!"

"What is secretly hiding in Chencang?"

Chen Yuanqing was confused.

Ning Fan drew a line on the map with a pen: "Just take most of the troops and pursue them along the route. Remember, don't chase too closely. I will lead 5,000 men and wait for the rebels here! "

Ning Fan drew a circle on the map at a place called Fengling, and then crossed it with a cross.

Chen Yuanqing carefully studied the rebels' route and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, how are you sure that the rebels will definitely go to Fengling?"

Ning Fan was speechless for a while, then pointed at the map and said: "You need to use your brain to fight, not just brute force! I'll tell you why, and you have to promise me that you must use your brain to think clearly when encountering things in the future."

"Your Highness, do you think I'm stupid? Indeed, compared to Your Highness, anyone is insignificant."

Chen Yuanqing was a little frustrated.

Ning Fan shook his head and said: "I'm not belittling you, I'm teaching you something! After all, you have only participated in two battles, and your experience is far from enough. In time, you will definitely become a famous general!"

"Famous general?"

Chen Yuanqing's eyes widened and his breathing became a little rapid.

He is so sensitive to this word that he dreams about making great achievements.

"Your Highness, you say it, and I will listen."

Chen Yuanqing's face showed joy.

Ning Fan pointed at the map and said: "The rebels have a limited amount of food and grass. From here to here, it is another five hundred miles. No matter how much food and grass they bring, they will definitely eat them all!"

"And to replenish food and grass, the Yellow Sea is the best place, because this place has a granary built by the imperial court!"

"Except for the Yellow Sea, the rebels can no longer find a second supply point!"

Ning Fan asserted.

Chen Yuanqing suddenly realized it, with a look of annoyance on his face: "It turned out to be so simple, I didn't even realize it."

"Your Highness, let me lead the troops, and you can lead most of them to continue the pursuit."

Chen Yuanqing took the initiative to ask for help.

Ning Fan pondered for a moment and looked at Chen Yuanqing: "Do you know what you are doing by waiting for the rebels in the Yellow Sea?"

"Of course it's consumption! I want to move the food in advance, and then the rebels will have no food, and we can defeat them."

Chen Yuanqing said without hesitation.
