Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

In the imperial study, several confidants sat in front of Emperor Qian.

Although he was said to be his confidant, he was actually also a follower of Concubine Xiao Shufei.

After Chen Shimao left, they took control of the government.

Showed unparalleled support for Emperor Qian.

This has also made the court much more harmonious recently.

Different voices were almost absent in the court.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely feel that this is not a good phenomenon.

Because these people did not enter the court to deal with world affairs.

Their existence is just to flatter the superiors and bully the inferiors.

Fortunately, Emperor Qian didn’t care about so many things at the moment. He just thought these people were extremely useful.

His own orders can finally be issued without any hindrance!

This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in many years!

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu has sent intel that the negotiations with the Nanman have been concluded."

"Oh? How come it's so fast? Did Chen Shimao also go there a few days ago?"

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Qian put down the memorial in his hand and was immediately delighted.

But what happened next was that the reports from his officials made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

"Your Majesty...Chen Shimao's offer was too good. To be on the safe side, Prince Yu proposed ceding half of Lingnan's land and cities to the Nanman before they would be willing to help."

In order to kill Qin Ming, they have already spent a lot of money and they certainly won't give up halfway.

If they fail, all their previous losses will be wasted.

Emperor Qian naturally understood this truth.

Prince Yu did nothing wrong.

But even so, he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart when he heard the news.

This is the foundation of the country left by the late emperor.

Unexpectedly, part of it was destroyed in my own hands.

If this is written in history books, I will probably be infamous for eternity.

As an emperor, Emperor Qian was most concerned about his own reputation.

"This is... Prince Yu's decision. The court is only responsible for providing him with supplies."

When they heard this, the officials around all raised their eyebrows.

They are all talented people who have worked hard to get to the top.

Naturally, one could hear the hidden meaning in Emperor Qian's words.

He didn't want to take the responsibility of ceding land.

Instead, he wanted to put the problem directly on Prince Yu.

The imperial court can supply them with resources and appease the southern barbarians, but the matter of providing land can only be done by Prince Yu himself.

Only in this way can Emperor Qian continue to maintain his flawlessness as an emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone nodded.

"Then we will reply to Prince Yu and let him make the decision."

"Ah."

Although his heart was bleeding, Emperor Qian still nodded slowly.

At least after saying these things, I can get myself out of this trouble.

He didn't care who the scapegoat was.

……

Soon, a message was passed back to the Changhe military camp.

At this time, the army in the Changhe River Basin had also packed up some supplies and was preparing to send out the first batch.

"The reply from the court has been sent back."

When Prince Liang came before Prince Yu with the letter, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He found that the content of this letter seemed to be a bit too much.

"Why is it so big?"

Prince Yu also noticed that something was wrong, and both of them frowned.

Then open the letter together.

After reading the above, Prince Liang and Prince Yu both smiled bitterly.

"I want to leave. Who are we fighting for? For ourselves, or for the court?"

King Liang spoke.

A sad smile also flashed across Prince Yu's face.

"I should have guessed it long ago. No one in the court can bear the blame except me."

"I don't want to do this anymore. Spring is coming soon. I need to go back and deploy defenses."

Prince Liang walked forward and patted Prince Yu on the shoulder.

He was very dissatisfied when he saw these generals struggling desperately on the front line and fighting Qin Ming.

People in the court were wondering who should bear the blame.

The feeling of fighting to the death but having nothing behind them and no support made them extremely heartbroken.

Doesn’t the imperial court treat these generals fighting on the battlefield as human beings?

Even the royal family like them are nothing but cannon fodder in front of Emperor Qian?

"Sure, why not? I want to see how far they can go!"

"I can take the blame this time, but who else can I ask to take the blame if we encounter problems again next time?"

At this time, Prince Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

His eyes were deep as if he had seen through everything. When he heard these words, King Liang suddenly stiffened.

"That makes sense. If they're going to keep playing like this, then we two will sacrifice our lives to keep them company! After this battle, we won't owe the court anything!"

As the two of them took the blame.

A team transporting supplies also began to move from the border between the Western Regions and Daqian.

Their whereabouts have been hidden very well.

But even so, these people still didn't guess it.

A group of people had already been stationed on the route they had to take.

Liu Chuang and Wu Qingye, who had just received the first batch of new weapons, have already been stationed here.

This time they brought nearly 20,000 soldiers.

So many soldiers gathered here just to cut off the connection between them and the Nanman.

There is no doubt that the Nanman will take action.

But before they could take action, Qin Ming was able to make the court's promise come to nothing.

If the supplies sent by the court are not received for a long time.

Will the Southern Barbarians still be ready to attack Lingnan like wolves and tigers as they are now?

Qin Ming felt that the answer was no.

So all their people came.

The border between the two countries is an endless wilderness, or a Gobi Desert.

Walking in such a place.

It was a torture for many soldiers both physically and mentally.

Even Liu Chuang and his companions felt a little anxious after being stationed here for nearly seven days.

"Ugh."

At noon, Liu Chuang had returned with a group of soldiers who had gone out on patrol.

This area is very large and they go out for patrol every day.

They were afraid that the soldiers from the Changhe military camp would hide the supplies from their sight and secretly contact the Nanman.

But the reality is that they guarded this place tightly, but never waited for anyone to come.

Today he ran outside all morning again, but came back with the same result.

"I don't know when they will arrive. If we keep waiting like this, we might as well go back to the front line."

Liu Chuang was eating and talking to his men at the same time.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and the person who came back was Wu Qingye.

"Lao Liu, are you still eating? Hurry up and pack up and follow me. Our people have discovered a convoy transporting supplies three hundred miles away."

"What? Three hundred miles away!? Where on earth did you go?"

After hearing what he said.

Liu Chuang did not pay attention to any enemy intelligence.

Instead, he was more concerned about the distance the guy in front of him had run.

Even Liu Chuang himself only patrolled an area within thirty miles around his stationed area.

But Wu Qingye led the people from the Feng Camp and ran away for over three hundred miles?!

He finally understood. No wonder when His Highness said he wanted to come over, he insisted on having Wu Qingye come together.

"They ran about seven or eight hundred miles. When they just left the military camp, my people were already waiting nearby."

At this time, Wu Qingye smiled and proudly told him a secret.

"You're so cruel, let's go!"

Liu Chuang could no longer hold back. He put down his bowl and sat up from the ground.

Wu Qingye stopped him and said:

"By the way, bring something new? Didn't His Highness come up with some smoke bombs?"

"This time, let's grab everything in front of them before we take action!"
