The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Ten days have passed since Tang Qiuwan discovered wheat fusarium wilt.

The result was exactly as Tang Qiuwan had expected. The disease appeared not only in Qingyun County, but also in the other two counties.

However, because it was discovered early, the infection was still limited to a small area.

After removing the affected area and applying antifungal drugs, the disease has now been contained.

Yun Mansion Study Room.

At this time, Yun Zhi and Liu Anruo were having a long conversation.

"Now that the two counties of Ping and Sui have been completely pacified, we have recruited over 4,000 soldiers."

"Ah."

Yun Zhi responded softly and flipped through the memorials that had been submitted from various places during this period.

Three months have passed since the attack on the two counties, and everything is developing rapidly.

Now, with the large number of refugees fleeing, the population of the three county towns is about to reach 20,000.

Yun Zhi looked up from the manuscript she was reading and asked, "How are the catapults and the thousand-machine crossbow?"

"The people in the workshop have been working on it. Now they have nearly a thousand Thousand Machine Crossbows and a hundred Catapults."

After saying this, Liu Anruo looked at Yun Zhi and asked, "My Lord, are you ready to attack the next city?"

"How are the other forces doing now?"

"The fighting is still going on. Previously, the alliance temporarily drove the Huns out, but now the fighting has resumed."

Yun Zhi tapped the table lightly with her index finger and thought for a moment. "Have the Yun family army prepare themselves. We will begin the attack in a month and capture Jiading Prefecture."

Jiading Prefecture has eleven county towns under its jurisdiction, and three of them have now been taken.

After a month, we will have recruited more than 5,000 soldiers, which is more than enough.

"Yes."

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

When Liu Anruo was about to leave, a carrier pigeon landed on the window sill.

The noise attracted the attention of several people in the room.

Yun Zhi looked at the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and said, "Yuzhu, take out the note inside and give it to me."

"Yes."

Yuzhu walked towards the carrier pigeon, took out the note from the bamboo tube, turned around and walked back to Yunzhi, and placed the note on the table.

Yun Zhi picked up the rolled-up note, unfolded it, and chuckled when she saw the contents.

God help her too.

"The attack on Jiading Prefecture will be brought forward to half a month later."

"Why is it suddenly early?"

Liu Anruo looked at the note in her lord's hand in confusion, wondering what news made her change her mind.

"have a look."

Looking at the note handed to her, she reached out and took it.

The content above is very simple.

The former prince is now in Bingzhou and wants to ask for help from the kings and dukes to capture the rebel Wang Yi and return the old capital.

"This... the former crown prince is not dead. If those forces unite, we will..."

Yun Zhi interrupted her, "No, we can't unite."

"Bingzhou is the ancestral home of General Ning. It seems the former crown prince fled there with his subordinates. Now that this rumor has spread, it seems they have already taken Bingzhou."

"Among all the princes and kings, the only one who is related to the royal family is Prince Gong. Prince Gong was deeply loved by the previous Emperor Huai. If he had not been so young at the time, the choice of emperor would not have been the last emperor, but him."

Liu Anruo still had some impression of Prince Gong.

He was born to Emperor Huai's favorite concubine and was the youngest prince, so he was very loved.

When Emperor Huai died, Prince Gong was only a few years old, so the throne was given to the eldest prince at the time, who was the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

"Among all the princes and marquises, Prince Gong has the greatest power and the most legitimate title. He could clearly be the emperor himself, so why is he giving it to his nephew?"

When Yun Zhi said this, Liu Anruo understood everything.

I'm afraid that when Prince Gong receives this letter asking for help, he will definitely deny his identity as the crown prince.

No matter what evidence this nephew produces, it can be said to be fake.

He would even take the initiative to send troops to attack Bingzhou to eliminate this hidden danger that might affect his becoming emperor.

Seeing Liu Anruo's thoughtful face, Yun Zhi knew that she had understood the key.

"Just wait. In a few days, this muddy water will get even muddier. How can these people spare the time to pay attention to us? Their attention has been successfully diverted by those two parties. How can they notice that Jiading Prefecture has changed hands?"

Yun Zhi leaned back in the chair, put her hands on the armrests, and smiled faintly.

With another force joining in, things are getting more and more lively.

……

Bingzhou.

In a secluded study.

The former crown prince Ji Xun was discussing important matters with his subordinates.

"Now I just have to wait for the emperor's uncle's reply. As long as he agrees to help me, those who are watching from the sidelines will naturally join in. By then, I can capture Wang Yi and return to the old capital in no time."

The military advisor below nodded and said, "I just don't know if Prince Gong will help us."

"Uncle Gong has always been very kind to me, so I'm sure he'll agree to help. However, people's minds are unpredictable. We must prepare a comprehensive response plan and use the strategy of calm to counteract the situation."

"Yes."

At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Your Highness, Miss Ning is here."

"Tell her to wait a moment, I will be there soon."

Miss Ning, General Ning's only daughter.

The reason why General Ning was willing to help him achieve his great cause at all costs was because he promised to marry General Ning's daughter as his queen once his great cause was accomplished.

Now that the great cause has not yet been accomplished, of course we have to appease people.

Capital City, Yangxin Hall.

Wang Yi paced back and forth in the hall anxiously.

At this time, a man walked in from outside.

Wang Yi, as if grasping at a lifeline, anxiously walked up to him and said, "Prince Jin, are they going to unite and attack us now?"

The fact that we were able to take the capital and become emperor so smoothly is largely due to the contribution of Prince Jin.

During the previous uprising, he was Wang Yi's military advisor.

As soon as he captured the capital, Wang Yi named him king, taking the character "王" (one of the Chinese characters), meaning that he was king together with his father.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. They can't possibly unite. Who wouldn't want to sit on the throne?"

"That's fine, that's fine."

The Mansion of the Marquis of Bravery.

Marquis Xiaoyong is also discussing this matter.

"Hahaha, that old bastard, Prince Gong, is the most hypocritical. How could I not know him? He would definitely deny the identity of the Crown Prince. Now that he is the Crown Prince of a fallen country, how could Prince Gong do such a thankless task?"

"We don't need to care about it. We can just watch this dog-eat-dog show."

Prince Gong's Palace.

Prince Gong looked at the letter asking for help on the desk.

"Tell everyone in the world that the Crown Prince has long since died in the capital. I, the Emperor's uncle, cannot even recognize my own nephew. This person is an imposter and should not be trusted."

As Prince Gong said this, there was a sinister look in his eyes.

What obstacles are there at this time?

After he finished speaking, he gave a look to his subordinates below him.

For a time, the whole world was in turmoil.

Either they sit back and watch the fire and wait for the fishermen to reap the benefits, or they sow discord and make the situation bigger so as to profit from it.

However, Jiading Prefecture was ignored by all parties.
