Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"How did they get there?"

Facing the battle report on the table, Xiao Tianzhu asked his subordinates with a grim face.

"I don't know, but the Third Prince suspects someone has revealed his troop deployment behind the scenes. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the Fire Battalion's troops are so precise. Each attack direction is the weak point of the Third Prince's troop deployment."

"Go inform General Wanyan and have him come to me immediately."

Xiao Tianzhu glanced at the attacked areas, feeling uneasy.

He thought he had found a powerful figure, but the situation within the Yan royal family was far more serious than he had imagined.

Soon, Wanyan Tielu, who had retreated from the battlefield, rushed into the tent.

"Brother Xiao, what happened?"

"The Third Prince has been betrayed, and now all his weak points have been exposed to outsiders."

Upon hearing this news, even a general like Wanyan Tielu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and witnessed countless battles, was extremely angry.

"Are these bastards crazy?!"

"You're using these tactics before the war, are you really going to destroy our Yan Dynasty?!"

As a general on the front line, Wanyan Tielu almost hated those who were fighting for power and profit behind him.

But he just followed orders and never had the chance to make his own choices.

But this time he really couldn't control his disgust for the royal family.

Seeing this, Xiao Tianzhu on the side whispered:

"Brother Wanyan, don't panic. The Third Prince should contact us soon."

"Should we make this incident bigger?"

Seeing Xiao Tianzhu's reaction, Wanyan Tielu was stunned.

"What do you mean by a bigger poke?"

"It's simple. This attack must be aimed at the Third Prince, but those within the royal family don't know about it yet."

"If we report this matter and persuade the Third Prince to let Qin Ming's troops enter the Yan Dynasty, the royal family will be furious. Although the Third Prince will be shocked, the real mastermind behind this will not be able to escape and will be tracked down to the end."

"Not only will we be able to punish those people, but we will also be able to preserve our troops' strength in a short period of time and surrender to the Third Prince."

The method proposed by Xiao Tianzhu is definitely the best choice for Wanyan Tielu.

Since someone has been blamed this time, it is not them who should bear the blame.

Those two could have withdrawn from this war.

As long as he could surrender to the Third Prince, continue to survive, and control a large number of troops, that would be enough.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Tielu quickly discovered a problem that Xiao Tianzhu had not mentioned.

"Brother Xiao, what you said is true, but how can the Third Prince listen to us?"

"Also, if you really let hundreds of thousands of Daqian troops into the Yan royal family's territory as you said, the casualties would be beyond imagination!"

Faced with these two questions, Xiao Tianzhu's face showed approval.

"Brother Wanyan is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He realized the crux of the problem so quickly."

"The Third Prince must cooperate with us... I will let Cao Chuan pass through."

"As for the casualties in the war, our family has already passed away. Even if more people die now, what does it have to do with me?"

Wanyan Tielu raised his eyebrows, and a feeling of uneasiness lingered in his heart.

Xiao Tianzhu has been going further and further down the path of extremism.

Now they even dare to threaten and harm the royal family!

If such behavior had happened in the past, they would probably not even dare to think about it.

After taking a deep breath, Wanyan Tielu fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Tianzhu advised:

"Brother Wanyan, we are the last remaining descendants of the two great families. If we were to die on the battlefield in obscurity as consumables, what difference would we make from ants?"

"Now that I'm under the royal family, I'm going to climb to the top step by step and make the Xiao family prosperous again under my leadership. Isn't that what Brother Wanyan thinks?"

Unlike Qin Yue, Xiao Tianzhu attaches great importance to his family.

When the position of the head of the family was almost snatched away by Qin Yue, Xiao Tianzhu did feel a little uncomfortable, but he never showed it.

Only the Xiao family went astray under the leadership of Qin Yue.

He finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to seize power.

However, after seizing power, Xiao Tianzhu and his Xiao family still ended up in a bad situation.

This also made him feel guilty.

The Xiao family was completely destroyed, and it seemed that it happened at his own hands.

In order to avoid being branded as the last patriarch who caused the Xiao family's extinction, he had to give himself an explanation.

Wanyan Tielu was friends with him, so he naturally understood what kind of person he was.

After sighing, he slowly said:

"Brother Xiao, the Wanyan family has been destroyed, and I only have this miserable life left."

"Since you're well aware of the situation and have always been cautious, I'll take a gamble with you and see if the truth can be revealed one day!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tianzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing Wanyan Tielu, he bowed deeply.

"Thank you!"

"Hey, no need to be so polite!"

Wanyan Tielu, who was standing by, quickly helped Xiao Tianzhu up.

At this time, Xiao Tianzhu slowly said:

"To be honest, brother, I have already withdrawn my troops. I will announce to the public that our troops have been betrayed and suffered heavy losses. We will then request assistance."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Wanyan Tielu didn't say much. He nodded and prepared to start disguising himself as a soldier.

Xiao Tianzhu wanted to make the matter as big as possible, and this action now would push the Second Prince and his supporters to the forefront.

Soon, the news that Xiao Tianzhu's garrison had been breached spread.

Cao Chuan and Hei Fu were in an extremely strange state and they directly attacked the territory of the Yan Dynasty royal family.

At the same time, Liu Chuang, who was on the periphery destroying their city walls, finally reunited with the two of them.

"General Liu."

When Heifu met Liu Chuang, he was still a little reserved. After all, they had not interacted much before.

As soon as Cao Chuan saw Liu Chuang, he rushed up and punched him hard.

"Lao Liu, I miss you so much!"

Liu Chuang groaned twice, a look of heartache on his face.

"Go away, I see you're after my army and weapons and equipment. Let me tell you, these weapons were given to me by His Majesty, and I can't give you much."

Cao Chuan was delighted to see Liu Chuang. In fact, besides meeting an old friend, there was another reason.

That is, Liu Chuang has enough ammunition depot to support the entire army.

In addition, the Fire Camp has strong soldiers and horses. When the forces of both sides are combined, they are invincible on this battlefield.

"You can't fight for long, and you're still holding on to your little ammunition and refusing to let go. You should put the overall situation first."

Cao Chuan said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"Look at you, you came out to fight a war, but you can't even arrange military supplies. I heard that you started to rob food from the Yan Dynasty a few days ago?"

Liu Chuang's face flushed instantly, and he quickly waved his hands in the air and said:

"Is it worth your while to grab some food?"

Cao Chuan immediately shook his head to correct himself.

"Of course it should be mentioned. You are embarrassing His Majesty."

"What? Don't you dare throw dirty water on me? Our Fire Camp almost beat that Third Prince to the ground! Where's the shame in that?"
