Madam General, please run slower.
Chapter 103: Ambition but no Vigilance
Fortunately, Yu Xun did not let him down. "I will not do anything to them. Tell Shi Yaojue to keep a close eye on them and send me a message as soon as possible if there is any news about her."
Thinking of the distance between Chaozhou and the capital, Yu Xun refuted his idea again, "No, I still have to go to Chaozhou in person."
"General, you should give up. In the current situation, let alone going to Chaozhou, the prince will send people to arrest you as soon as you leave the capital." Wu Hao really felt that Yu Xun was quite pitiful. He wanted to get his wife back, but the biggest obstacle was her brother.
"Is it not possible for me to go to Chaozhou secretly?" Qu Tangli was now like a thorn stuck in Yu Xun's heart. If he didn't remove it, he would go crazy sooner or later.
"What about the Yu Family Army? General, do you not want them anymore? Are you really going to give them to your uncles?"
Wu Zhuo Ting couldn't stand Yu Xun's dementia when he mentioned the little princess. If he really loved the little princess to death, then it would be fine, he could understand. But he dared to guarantee that Yu Xun's feelings for the little princess were definitely more guilt than love.
Wu Wei had an inexplicable intuition that given the free and easy nature of the little princess, if she knew that the general made some impulsive decisions because of his apology to her, she would probably feel unlucky.
Yu Xun was silent. He was now slowly gathering the power of the Yu family army. If he left the capital at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and his subsequent plans would also be completely disrupted.
Wu Yu, who had already figured out Yu Xun's mentality, said slowly, "Let's not talk about anything else. If the little princess knew that the general gave up the Yu family army for her, do you think the little princess would beat you to death and avoid you for the rest of her life?"
Yu Xun: ...That is indeed what she would do.
Yu Xun scratched his hair in annoyance, "I understand. It's ok if I don't ask the secret guards to watch over it."
Wu Huang: "Okay, but don't send all your secret guards over there."
Yu Xun glared at him and said, "I'm not that stupid."
Wu Huang drank his tea and stopped arguing with him. Before finding the little princess, he would not make any comment on whether Xun was stupid or not.
Speaking of stupid things, Wu Yu thought of another person, "The spy in the palace reported that the prince had a big fuss in the imperial study today, and also beat several old ministers who gave him advice."
Yu Xun snorted softly, "He really knows how to get himself killed. Let him do whatever he wants. How are our people arranged?"
"Everything is going according to plan." Wu Huang nodded in agreement. "General, where did His Majesty hide the imperial seal? Why did the Crown Prince delay for so long without directly killing him?"
Yu Xun: "Who knows? If there weren't other forces behind the prince, there's no way the younger one could outplay the older one."
"That's true." After being the crown prince for so many years, he has not developed any other ideas except ambition. This is quite impressive.
Wu Huang sighed and said, "This prince is so lucky. He already has the support of the Duke of the Queen's family, and now there is another force for no apparent reason."
"You are unlucky to be the crown prince?" Yu Xun rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously. "The Duke has some old grievances with the Northern Territory Prince. Just let the Northern Prince deal with him. But what is the Northern Prince dragging his feet on? Why hasn't he called after so long?"
Yu Xun was very upset about this, so he was waiting for the King of the North to call so that he could make subsequent plans.
"The barbarian enemies in the northern border may have heard the news about our dynasty, and have been a little restless recently. The King of the North is busy dealing with them, so they won't be able to attack the capital for a while." Wu Huang was also very curious about the King of the Northern Territory. He often heard about the God of War of the Northern Territory when he was a child in the military camp, and he really wanted to meet him.
"As a local vassal, he knows that he must unite against the outside world first. He doesn't know how long these people above will make trouble. Will they really wait until the enemy army invades and the country is destroyed and people die before they think of resisting?"
Yu Xun was speechless. Even a child on the street could tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. "Except for the northern border, what is the situation in other places?"
"It's not optimistic." Thinking of this, Wu Huang's face was heavy. "General's previous guess was correct. Several small countries on the border of the Western Region have been contacting each other very frequently in recent days. I'm afraid they may form an alliance."
Yu Xun ordered the tea in the cup and drew the general topography of Qianwu State on the table.
"With the Northern King in the North Territory, those barbarian enemies are not a threat. We have almost dealt with the pirates in the South Territory, and now with General Guangwu in charge, there won't be much of a problem. Now the focus is on these small countries on the border of the Western Territory."
Yu Xun pointed at the table, and the positions of the countries surrounding Qianwu Western Region were clearly shown. "These five small countries were previously vassal states of our dynasty. If they unite, it will be a huge blow to our dynasty. We must take the initiative to attack them before they succeed."
Wu Huang: "Then the question is, who should lead the troops to attack?"
The study fell silent for a moment, and the two looked at each other in silence. One of them was being watched by the uncles of the Yu family in the army, and the other was being supervised by the crown prince in the mansion. They really had the will but not the ability.
Yu Xun tapped the tabletop lightly with his slender fingers and thought for a moment, "I will go to the Western Regions secretly to see if I can persuade the princes of the Western Regions to send troops to suppress the rebellion."
"I'd better go." Wu Huang shook his head and retorted, "General, if you leave, it will be difficult to remedy any mistakes in our subsequent plans. Besides, we haven't figured out who is behind the prince yet, so it's not appropriate for you to alert the enemy now. It's better for me to go, but the military camp..."
Yu Xun took off the token from his waist and handed it to Wu Huang, "I'll give you some people to escort you to the Western Regions. You can pretend to be sick, and I'll have secret guards with similar body shapes to you pretend to be you recuperating in the mansion. It can hide it for a while, but you have to make a quick decision."
"This method is indeed feasible." Wu Huang took the token handed over by Yu Xun and was very worried about this trip. "But this Western Region vassal king is a heavy drinker and a womanizer. Will he really be willing to send troops?"
"Just try your best. You won't know if it works until you try." Yu Xun also knew the character of the Western King, but now their power was confined to the capital, so they could only give it a try.
"I see. When do I leave?"
"The sooner the better." Yu Xun stared at the gradually drying and disappearing graphics on the desktop, and the thoughts in his heart became heavier.
The next day, Wu Huang had a conflict with a young general in the military camp. The two fought fiercely, and even the soldiers who came to mediate the fight also started arguing.
The young general that Wu Huang beat was a man of Yu's uncles. Wu Huang also took this opportunity to vent his emotions. He did not hold back any strength and really beat the man to death. When Yu's uncles arrived, the young general had fainted. After Wu Huang was fined his salary, he got angry again and said he was sick and would not come.
The incident was a big deal, but no one thought there was anything wrong with Wu Yu's action. After all, everyone could see how General Yu Xun was treated in the army recently, and as Yu Xun's most capable and closest deputy general, it was only natural for him to stand up for the general.
Three days later, our young general Wu quietly led a few people to the Western Regions overnight without attracting any attention.
