In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

"Your Majesty, many of our people died, but we also found out that there are 100,000 troops in Liuzhou City, not permanent residents." Li Mibi said:

"Bai Qi only brought 20,000 men with him this time. I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy."

"So Bai Qi's army might just be a cover. The real back-up plan might be Youzhou and Liangzhou."

The Queen of Beimang looked gloomy: "Beiliang wants to take the initiative to fight Beiliang and Beimang?"

Li Mibi said sternly: "No."

The Queen of Beimang frowned and asked, "But what is Li Qing worried about?"

"I'm worried that Beiliang will counterattack."

Li Mibi said calmly:

"Now there is news from Beiliang that Beiliang King Xu Xiao no longer cares about Beiliang's affairs. All of them have been handed over to Beiliang Crown Prince Xu Ping'an. Even Chen Zhibao has been subdued. And this General Bai Qi is Xu Ping'an's subordinate."

"We now have to think about how to deal with Beiliang's full-scale counterattack."

"According to my deduction, Beiliang now wants to consolidate its border defenses and then move south."

The Queen of Beimang was shocked. "The Xu family wants to take over Li Yang's world?"

Li Mibi nodded: "Based on the current situation, this is the case."

The Queen of Beimang looked gloomy, her body felt heavy, and she held onto the railing with her hands. "Beiliang King Xu Xiao is not such a person. He is a man of his word."

In fact, she also knew:

If Xu Xiao becomes the emperor of Liyang, Beimang will continue to be Beimang, and the cause of moving south will be hindered.

The "knight-errant" from Liaodong that she had been thinking about day and night was gone.

No more thoughts from now on.

Only opponents.

Li Mibi said in a deep voice: "It's His Royal Highness the Xu family's heir."

"Oh?" The Queen of Beimang narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Mibi, "You mean the prince of Xu Xiao?"

“That’s really surprising.”

"Thinking back then, this prince slipped away right under my nose."

"Will they become the great enemy of Beimang in the future?!"

The Queen of Beimang smiled.

She smiled brightly.

Then he said something that even Li Mibi was confused about:

"How did the Northern Liang King in Liyang get such a good wife?"

"Now we have a powerful prince."

"According to the general trend of the world, shouldn't the father be strong and the son be weak? Why is this Xu Ping'an so powerful?"

"And one of his subordinates is actually a "God of War". I wonder how he compares to my "God of War".

Li Mibi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

The Queen of Beimang was stunned for a moment, then turned to stare at Li Mibi and asked, "Li Qing rarely speaks like this."

Li Mibi clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not make a firm statement."

The Queen of Beimang frowned and said, "So, why do you say that Beiliang's march north this time is not aimed at Beimang?"

Li Mibi explained:

"In fact, this matter is very simple. A spy reported from Beiliang that there has been a change in the military and political power of Beiliang. All military power is in the hands of Xu Ping'an."

"Xu Xiao no longer cares about military matters."

"In other words, Beiliang is now actually under the control of Xu Ping'an."

"Even a romantic figure like Chen Zhibao was conquered."

"What's even more curious is that no one in Beiliang stood up to oppose it."

"It can only prove one thing, that is, the prince of Beiliang... is very capable."

"This person rejected Li Yang's marriage proposal, drove away a senior eunuch in the palace, and refused to accept the imperial decree."

Hearing this, the Queen of Northern Mang was also slightly surprised, but she also had a satisfied smile on her face:

"This Xu Ping'an does have some personality, which he inherited from Xu Xiao, but he is bolder than Xu Xiao."

"You can refuse, but I won't accept the order..."

"Something interesting."

"But based on this alone, we can't conclude that he wants to rebel. After all, Xu Xiao is still here."

Li Mibi said with some concern: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Xu Xiao will also join the rebellion in order to protect Xu Ping'an."

The Queen of Northern Mang pondered for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something. "Given Xu Xiao's temper and his protective nature, this is a possibility."

"How can Beiliang's cavalry, with only 300,000 soldiers, go south?"

"Does he want to hand Beiliang over to us?"

Li Mibi: "So, this is my information in Liuzhou."

The Queen of Northern Mang asked suspiciously, "Where did Bai Qi's 100,000-man army come from? When did they train? These are all worth digging deeper into."

After she finished speaking,

Something suddenly occurred to me.

His expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"Could it be that Xu Xiao had already prepared for this?"

"Is it to deal with me, Beimang?"

"If that's true, this old man is really scheming."

Li Mibi: "Your Majesty forgot that Beiliang has another strategist."

The Queen of Northern Mang: "Didn't you say he died a long time ago?"

Li Mibi: "People like Li Yishan, even if he dies, will leave strategies for Xu Xiao."

Queen of Northern Mang: "Haha, yes! A "poison warrior" comparable to the Yellow Dragon Warrior is terrifying."

"Fortunately, we in Beimang also have a counselor like Taiping Ling, otherwise we would have been torn to pieces by this man long ago."

"Speaking of the Taiping Order, is there any news?"

"It's time to go back." Li Mibi said, "Taiping Ling has traveled for twenty years and learned a lot in Liyang. Now that he has returned, it's time to share the worries of His Majesty."

The Queen of Beimang looked at Biluo, wondering what she was thinking at the moment.

After a long time.

She spoke again: "Li Qing, according to what you said, the next step is to focus on the Northern Mang territory, right?"

Li Mibi bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, before we can resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal affairs."

"Yes, 'to conquer foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country'. Otherwise, those nobles will always hold me back."

The Queen of Beimang talked to herself, then waved at Li Mibi.

Li Mibi took a few steps back and left.

…………

Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

Xu Xiao is already on the eighth floor.

Li Yishan looked at Beiliang's latest deployment map and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He was kind of dancing around.

Seeing Li Yishan like this, Xu Xiao was also a little suspicious and asked:

"Yuanying, I haven't seen you so happy in a long time."

"Yes." Li Yishan seemed to be recalling something, his face looked a little solemn, and he continued: "It's different now. Our prince has grown to the point where even I have to face him."

"The people under him have gradually come to the fore and will even become the backbone of Beiliang in the future."

"And the counselor Mr. Zhang Liang has already started planning:"

"Bai Qi went north, and Beiliang was ready for battle. Every move he made was a good one. Every move he made was silent, but every move was a great strategy to defeat the enemy."

"It can be seen that Mr. Zhang Liang is extremely good at handling diplomacy, and is also very good at military deployment."

Xu Xiao grinned and said, "Hearing you say that, I feel better now."

He has always been worried that there is no one available in Beiliang.

This kind is the most terrifying.

The older generation were all heroes, but many of the younger generation have become losers.

Because some people are like this, once they achieve success and fame, they will gradually become decadent.

Fortunately, the people of Beiliang are all guarding the border, so there is a precedent of sending children to the border to guard the border.

On the contrary, the people who live here are full of vigor and vitality.

But to conquer the world, one needs not only young men with strong blood, but also counselors and scholars.

Otherwise, if the world is conquered, who will govern it?

This has always been a worry for emperors of every dynasty.

Even said:

The feeling that "it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it".

Li Yishan looked at the map, then looked at Xu Xiao, "I'm curious, why did General Chen believe the prince?"

Xu Xiao quickly said: "Don't look at me like that, I don't know either."

He was also muttering to himself.

Because he didn't know how Xu Ping'an did it.

I just heard that there was a contest between Chen Zhibao and Bai Qi, but it was soon settled.

I never heard anyone mention it again after that.

But Chen Zhibao actually obeyed the orders of Ping'anju.

All military information was shared with Bai Qi.

Xu Xiao sighed: "To be honest, I can't see Xu Ping'an clearly now."

Li Yishan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "As for me, I am only now slowly beginning to understand the meaning. The prince has been playing a game of chess all along, and we are just the pawns on his chessboard."

Xu Xiao frowned slightly: "Impossible?"

Li Yishan smiled and said, "What's impossible?"

Xu Xiao said: "Xu Ping'an has been to many places, and it was only a few years ago that he returned to the Beiliang Palace."

"Could it be possible that he was deploying at that time?"

"But even so, we should be clear about this."

Li Yishan stood up and walked to the window, where someone was busy outside.

Then I saw a familiar figure.

It was Xu Ping'an.

"How many days has His Royal Highness been in Tingchao Pavilion?"

Li Yishan asked.

"I heard that it's been ten days." Xu Xiao said. Li Yishan was a little confused, "Isn't Your Highness already in the Profound Realm? Why do you still need to study basic martial arts?"

Xu Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You know, I'm just a second-grade junior master."

"Everyone calls me the most unprofessional "human killer".

Li Yishan couldn't guess what Xu Ping'an was trying to do.

He is also feeling very complicated now.

Very confused.

Back then, he advocated that Xu Xiao not sit on the throne, which offended many people in Beiliang, but fortunately, Xu Xiao stood on his side.

Therefore, Zhao Changling's lineage was suppressed.

Now Xu Ping'an wants to rebel.

It has gone against his original vision.

Xu Xiao also noticed Li Yishan's silence, so he asked:

"Yuanying, I still went against your original wish."

"I promised you that I would not sit on that throne."

"But now..."

At this moment, Xu Xiao was standing at the window with his hands behind his back and hunched back, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Yishan.

Li Yishan glanced at Xu Xiao, "Your Highness did not break the agreement between us. You are you, and His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness. We made it very clear at the beginning."

The agreement between Xu Xiao and Li Yishan:

"Xu Xiao is not the emperor."

This agreement did not state that Xu Xiao's child could not sit in that position.

Li Yishan continued: "Besides, I, Li Yishan, have seen clearly what Li Yang has done over the years. Beiliang guarded the northern gate for Li Yang, but they targeted Beiliang everywhere."

"And those scholars, with their disgusting grins, are even more annoying."

Xu Xiao looked at Li Yishan, who was not very Li Yishan today, and said with a smile:

"Yuan Ying, you have changed."

"Yes, because I am happy!"

Li Yishan turned around and smiled brilliantly for the first time:

"Seeing His Royal Highness grow up and gather so many talented people around him, I feel inexplicably happy."

His mission was accomplished.

Xu Xiao's heart was shocked, and he stared at Li Yishan, "Yuanying...you!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Grow up safely, and you and I can enjoy our old age."

"From now on, I will come to play chess, drink and brag with you every day."
