"Yes, but I didn't expect that Brother Nan Wang was so lucky and had such a long life that he actually escaped."

Shen Changgong said with a smile.

"Humph!"

The Southern King snorted coldly, then looked at Li Shanyue beside Shen Changgong and asked,

"Who is this? A civilian?"

"This is Mr. Li, the owner of the Shanyue Shipyard. He's a good man. We've found a treasure this time. Let's go to the commander's tent. I'll tell you my plan in detail."

"it is good."

King Nan nodded.

Li Shanyue on the side hurriedly saluted King Nan.

This is the Southern King who is as famous as Lanling King in Dayan, and the most powerful figure.

However, in Li Shanyue's imagination, the Yan army had two commanders and two princes, each with military power. They should be scheming against each other, fighting for power and profit, and unwilling to submit to each other.

Or maybe each of them leads an army and fights against two countries separately, each taking care of their own business.

Otherwise, what should we do if we have disagreements?

How come these two people are so close judging by the way they are joking and chatting?

This is not right.

What he didn't know was that the harmony between the King of the South and the King of Lanling was precisely because they had the same beliefs and goals, and they were of the same mind. In addition, they were both relatives of the Empress, so the conquered world would be given to the Empress, and he could also fulfill his life dream.

Neither of them is a person who likes to fight for power and profit, both are war maniacs.

No one will think about how much benefit they have gained, but only think about what benefit they have gained for the country.

Only people with pure hearts can achieve such tacit cooperation.

Shen Changgong asked the Southern Prince to go forward, and he came to Yu Ziling's side, took her hand with a smile, and said,

"Xiao Lingling, you haven't seen your husband for several days. Do you miss him very much?"

"Pah, who missed you."

Yu Ziling shook off his hand and rode forward proudly on her horse.

Shen Changgong burst out laughing.

A woman's mouth is a liar.

If she hadn't missed me, would she have rushed over on the first boat?

Shen Changgong asked Li Shanyue to stay and command the fleet, then he mounted his horse and rode over, and the group headed towards the general's tent.

After entering the military camp and the general's tent, everyone sat down and Shen Changgong told everyone about the plan he had told Li Shanyue.

Upon hearing this, Ma Ling frowned, picked up the map of the Nine Kingdoms and began to look at it. His eyes were fixed on the location of Jingzhou, and then he looked at the Yangtze River south of Jingzhou.

Then, after crossing the Yangtze River and going south, you will reach Yiyang, and further south is Yingdu.

The Chu State had the habit of moving its capital, and wherever the capital was located was usually called Yingdu.

And today's Yingdu is located at that location.

"Oh, you're really planning ahead. There are still so many major battles to be fought, but you're already thinking about the Yangtze River naval battle. Not bad, not bad.

I was right about you, you did a great job, kid."

"Is there a big age difference between you and me?"

Shen Changgong rolled his eyes, he couldn't stand the tone of the King of the South who sounded like an experienced person.

At this moment, a soldier at the door reported,

"Your Highness, the Wei envoy from last time is here again."

"Let him come."

Shen Changgong said.

"As ordered."

King Nan raised his eyebrows and asked,

"Again? Last time, there were envoys from Wei?"

"Well, they said they wanted to negotiate peace, but I didn't accept that. I only accepted their surrender."

Before the envoy came in, Shen Changgong explained the three plans he had proposed.

Yu Huatian was confused after hearing this and asked,

"Your Majesty, how come I don't know about this?"

"You weren't here yesterday, why didn't you come?"

"You didn't call me..."

Yu Huatian felt a little aggrieved, but since he was a prince, he naturally had no obligation to report to him.

"However, Your Majesty's tactic of sowing discord is indeed a good one. No matter which one plays a role, it will enable us to win without fighting.

Even if we fail completely, we can still deal a huge blow to their morale.

At least their soldiers knew that their emperor and ministers were discussing surrender."

Hearing this, Gongsun Wan'er also said,

"That's right, just like the last time we dealt with Bai Wuan, we'll just hit him first, whether there's a jujube or not. No one will suffer any loss anyway."

The Southern King also nodded and said,

"Yes, who would have thought that the Yan army, with such strong combat power, would resort to such dirty tactics? Whether it's conspiracy or a confrontation between two armies, our Lanling King is no less capable than others."

"Why do I feel like you're not praising me?"

"Be confident and take the feeling out of it."

As everyone was chatting and laughing, Huang Tao walked in from the door and saluted,

"Foreign minister Huang Tao pays homage to Prince Lanling of Great Yan."

He looked up and saw that there were quite a few people in the general's tent today, several of them wearing general armor, both men and women.

Then why did Lanling Wang meet him alone yesterday?

What he didn't know was that there was no deliberate intention in it. It was purely a matter of luck. It just happened that Shen Changgong was the only one in the general's tent yesterday.

Shen Changgong said,

"Sir Huang, this is the Southern Prince Ma Ling, and the others are the commanders of our Yan army."

Huang Tao was shocked when he heard this and quickly saluted.

"I, the foreign minister, pay my respects to the Prince of Nan and to all the commanders."

"Give me a seat."

The Southern King waved his hand.

The guard brought a chair and asked Huang Tao to sit in the middle.

"What good news did Master Huang bring to this king this time?"

Shen Changgong asked.

Huang Tao sighed and said,

"Your Majesty, after returning to Luoyang yesterday, the minister went to see His Majesty and told him about your first plan. His Majesty said he would consider it.

Afterwards, I changed into casual clothes and secretly went to meet with King Jin Cao Xiang. King Jin had a tough attitude and directly rejected the second plan of the foreign minister, and even almost beat the foreign minister to death.

The foreign minister changed his approach and used the relationship between him and the emperor as a breakthrough point to persuade him to surrender.

He neither agreed nor refused.

Today in the court, the emperor talked about this matter and the court officials argued fiercely. Some said that they should swear to death rather than surrender, while others said that only surrender could save His Majesty's life.

Some people also say, uh…”

Huang Tao looked at Shen Changgong cautiously, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Speak, I will not be angry, nor do I expect to hear anything good from my enemies."

“Well, some people use your attitude towards Qi and Liang as an example, saying that your credibility is poor and you cannot be trusted.

But some people also said, "No matter how bad it is, it still means death if you don't surrender."

Shen Changgong chuckled and said,

"That's it. What did your emperor say?"

"Our Majesty asked Prince Jin about his attitude, but he didn't express his opinion, only saying that everything was up to the Emperor.

Finally, the emperor said that if Your Highness did not kill him but wanted to kill all the other royal family members and noble ministers, he would not agree. If you could not kill them, then everything could be discussed.

So, I sent an external official to inquire about your attitude.

Of course, before coming here, the foreign minister had already sent the subordinates who came with him yesterday to bribe and instigate some generals in the army."
