Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

Zhou Heguan did not look sick at all at this time, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and even though he was suppressed by Zhou Chuxuan, he remained calm.

"Your Highness, why do we have to resort to violence the moment we meet? You can't kill me, and I can't kill you either. How about we sit down and talk about cooperation?"

Looking at Zhou Heguan in front of him, Zhou Chuxuan chuckled, slowly took off his sword, sat down at the table, and slowly poured himself a bowl of tea: "Brother, your tea is a little cold!"

The fake Zhou Heguan slowly stepped forward, stuck the dagger in his hand on the table, and shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. The maids and servants in this mansion are almost gone. It's good enough to have something to drink!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Wu Dynasty, no wonder Lord Yang Li praised you so highly. You truly possess some strength and foresight. Just based on your composure in the face of danger, I admire you!"

Zhou Chuxuan moistened his dry throat slightly: "I don't know yet, what's your name?"

The fake Zhou Heguan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm a humble man named Bai Sheng. I'm a subordinate of Lord Yang Li. You sent me to sneak into the capital and wait for an opportunity. I didn't expect that you would discover me before I could even start my plan."

"If my guess is correct, it should be that bitch Defei who informed you, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan did not refute or admit it, but just drank the tea in the bowl silently. He indeed judged that Zhou Heguan was abnormal from the words of Concubine De.

"Don't worry, I won't kill her. As long as Your Highness the Crown Prince can cooperate with my actions, we promise that not only will we not attack the Wu Dynasty, but we will also maintain friendly relations with the Wu Dynasty for generations and send troops to help you repel the Liao army. How do you say that?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Bai Sheng in front of him and chuckled, "You are quite confident, people from the Western Regions. What makes you think that I will definitely cooperate with you?"

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Sheng burst into laughter. "Your Highness, please don't hold on any longer. Given the current situation, with 600,000 troops besieging the city, how long can you hold out? Considering how fearful your officials are of death, how can anyone come to reinforce you?"

"Under the current circumstances, the only option left is for you to cooperate with us, unless you are willing to watch the Wu Dynasty perish!"

Looking at Bai Sheng's confident look, Zhou Chuxuan felt a little amused. There was a reason why these small countries in the Western Regions were called small countries. Their vision was really narrow.

Moreover, there was a famous saying in the previous life that the less knowledge a person has, the more inexplicable courage he has.

"Very good, go on. I want to hear your terms!" Zhou Chuxuan remained calm. He still wanted to know what the other party wanted. "Based on my understanding of your Lord Yang Li, he is not someone who is willing to help others for no reason. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"It's easy!"

Bai Sheng placed both arms on the table, staring intently at Zhou Chuxuan, and spoke word by word, "We want your Wu Dynasty's 600,000-strong army to withdraw from the Western Regions and give us the thousand-mile territory of the Western Regions!"

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes flashed. These guys were so arrogant that they wanted a thousand miles of territory right away?

"I know that Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot do this right now. Don't worry, after we send our troops, we will not only help you repel the Liao army, but also help you completely wipe out Zhou Wanjiang and help you obtain the military token!"

"As long as the military token is in hand, I think it should be no problem for His Royal Highness to mobilize the 600,000-man army, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. These guys are really greedy.

You must know that once the 600,000-strong army leaves the Western Regions and enters the secular world, it will not take long for them to be assimilated, and their combat effectiveness will decline. Eventually, this trump card of the Wu Dynasty will be completely lost.

The reason is simple. The reason why few people know about the 600,000-strong army is because the 600,000-strong army is basically a country within a country. They know that they belong to the Great Zhou, but they have never seen the world outside the valley.

They have been educated since childhood and learned the moral principles and etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, especially the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. They have pure blood and each generation of descendants is very outstanding. Once they are allowed to live in the outside world and come into contact with the chaotic world, it will not take long for the elite army to become a mob.

However, looking at Bai Sheng, whose eyes were glittering with cunning and complacency, Zhou Chuxuan suddenly smiled and raised his tea bowl: "That sounds quite interesting. Well, thank you, Master Yang Li, on my behalf!"

He also wanted to follow the Marshal's example and never agree to anything he could do, and never do anything he promised.

When the time comes, I will turn my back on my promise!

Poor Bai Sheng was still feeling complacent about his successful lobbying, completely unaware that he had fallen into Zhou Chuxuan's trap, and had no idea what kind of trouble he was about to bring to the Western Regions.

"Oh, by the way, I remember that Yang Li had previously cooperated with the Liao Kingdom. Did you two work together to deal with our Wu Dynasty? Why does it seem like your alliance has fallen apart now?"

"Your Highness is truly well-informed! I admire you!" Bai Sheng offered a false compliment, then explained, "That stinky Liao woman named Salem Meng insisted that the time was not right, causing our Lord Yang Li's plan to fail!"

"The two of them didn't see eye to eye and fell out on the spot, so their subsequent cooperation naturally fell apart."

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "Okay, in that case, then you can send a message to your Lord Yang Li!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Just as Zhou Chuxuan was about to get up and leave, Bai Sheng suddenly stood up and grabbed him, chuckling, "Your Highness, you must sign a document, otherwise we won't be able to verify your empty words!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled, took the paper and pen, and started writing on it with a flick of the brush.

Bai Sheng smiled brightly after receiving the receipt, and put it into his arms with satisfaction: "Goodbye, Your Highness!"

Zhou Chuxuan laughed, and when he reached the top of the city wall, he found that Hu Yongwei had already led his troops to attack.

"How is it, has the action started?"

Murong Xue nodded: "When will I leave the city?"

"Don't worry! Once the Liao army's camp is on fire, you can prepare according to the original plan!"

"it is good!"

Not long after, the Liao army camp really caught fire, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, as if it was going to burn down all the Liao army camps.

At this time, Murong Xue led the Fuling Army out of the city gate and headed straight into the distance.

Apart from a few soldiers standing guard on the city wall, Zhou Chuxuan was the only one left.
