Chapter 906 Sending Troops South

Song Ruier walked into the small courtyard, her face full of displeasure.

"I thought the Prince of Yan was shrewd and calculating, but he still managed to let Qiao Lian'er escape."

"What Prince of Yan?" Song Dujuan pretended not to understand.

Even now, she can't be 100% sure that the Prince of Yan is behind her. If it really is the Prince of Yan, and he has set up so many obstacles to prevent her from seeing his face, it means that the Prince of Yan doesn't want her to know his plans at all. If she dares to reveal this secret to others, she will be doomed.

Therefore, she will not seek trouble for herself; she will never admit to something she shouldn't.

Song Ruier smiled knowingly.

“Sister Dujuan, I understand what you mean. Okay, I won’t mention the Prince of Yan.”

"But don't you think it's a real shame that we didn't bring down Qiao Lian'er this time?"

Song Dujuan said calmly, "Qiao Lian'er's matter has nothing to do with me. I've already said, I'm just a maid who sweeps the floor and washes clothes."

Song Ruier seemed not to hear Song Dujuan's words and said to herself, "Cousin, we need to work harder. Once Qiao Lian'er recovers her skills, we'll miss the opportunity and she'll be harder to deal with."

Although Qiao Lian'er spread the news that the emperor no longer suspected her, which was tantamount to announcing her victory, it was still clear that without those extraordinary abilities, Qiao Lian'er was not as adept as before.

Song Dujuan's expression also became more solemn. Song Ruier was right; opportunities are fleeting and once they come again.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Song Ruier smiled with satisfaction and left.

He always came out through the secret passage of Taigong Temple, then wandered around to find this place. He was extremely careful and cautious. If he noticed the slightest disturbance, he would pretend nothing was wrong and go somewhere else. After all, it was impossible for Qiao Lian'er not to have someone watching him.

Her investigation into the person behind the scenes has not made any progress. She is unaware of his relationship with Song Dujuan, and therefore it is even less likely that she will be able to find out about the Prince of Yan.

Song Dujuan couldn't wait to see the person who was supposed to meet her. She thought she would have to wait a few more days, but to her surprise, the person who was supposed to meet her arrived the next day.

"Qiao Lian'er won this time. Even without those special abilities, she's still just as difficult to deal with," Song Dujuan said.

"Once she recovers, things will go back to the way they were before. By then, how many people will be able to do anything about her?"

The person listened without saying anything and left.

"They're all useless." Mu Tai sneered after reading the letter in his hand.

"Looks like I'll have to step in."

I originally thought that by clipping Qiao Lian'er's wings, she would be too busy to cope and would surely suffer a major setback.

As a result, she suffered no loss at all.

Mutai went to see Khan Zhenyu and expressed his thoughts.

"You mean send troops now?" Khan Shinyu asked.

"Yes, Qiao Lian'er is currently restricted, and she can't get the news of the troop deployment as promptly as before. By the time she realizes it, our army has already reached the border of Jinglang Prefecture."

Khan Zhenyou hesitated: "Sending troops is no small matter. A few years ago, more than twenty tribal alliances went to war with the Great Swamp Kingdom. Our Da Nu Kingdom, as the representative, signed a twenty-year ceasefire agreement. If the violator sends troops, it is of course a good thing if they win, but if they lose, they will be punished even more severely. Unless we are fully prepared and confident of winning, if we lose, the consequences are not something you or I can bear."

"After several years of recuperation, the strength of the Da Nu Kingdom has greatly improved and recovered to its pre-war level. The Great Khan can now send people to contact other tribal states. As long as we win the first battle, it will boost their confidence and encourage them to join us. At that time, we will march south with overwhelming force and unstoppable momentum, and the Da Ze Kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated."

Khan Zhenyou paused for a moment: "When we went south a few years ago, we didn't even know that there was a person named Qiao Lian'er in Daze Kingdom. We also seized the initiative, but we still lost. Things are not as simple as you think."

"Qiao Lian'er later brought out the formation, which played a significant role and contributed to our defeat. However, her formation seemed to be something she came up with in her mind rather than something she was skilled at."

"So Mutai, other plans are fine, but sending troops is absolutely out of the question. We must wait until the time is fully ripe and we have a 60-70% chance of success before we take this step."

Mutai had to admit that the Great Khan was right.

As the ruler of a country, and the largest tribal state, Da Nu, Khan Zhenyou had a clear understanding of the situation and a long-term vision.

He would be extremely cautious about matters that concern the fundamental interests of the nation.

Khan Zhenyou looked at him: "You want to use the dispatch of troops to disrupt Qiao Lian'er's plans?"

“That’s right.” Mu Tai admitted directly: “In Daze Kingdom, someone is targeting her. If something happens to Jinglang Prefecture, which she governs, she will be distracted and overwhelmed, and she might suffer a major setback.”

"Great Khan, you are right. It is too early to go to war with Daze Kingdom. The most important thing is Qiao Lian'er. As long as I create a hindrance for her, it will make things easier for the people in the capital."

Khan Zhenyou pondered carefully: "This idea is good. However, if the Da Nu Kingdom sends troops, it will definitely trigger the entire Da Ze Kingdom to be on high alert. If we also send a large force to deal with it, the Da Nu Kingdom will be in danger."

Mutai quickly understood what Zhenyou Khan meant.

Sending troops is acceptable, but we must not give Dazeguo any leverage over us.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter will certainly not be handled by the Da Nu Kingdom."

On the training ground, a force of two thousand elite soldiers was ready to go. After the general finished his inspection, Mu Tai came to the front of the army.

He clapped his hands, and a line of carts piled high with military uniforms and clothing were pushed behind him.

"Change into these clothes, fly the flag of the Kingdom of Zili, and invade Jinglang Prefecture. What you need to do is make the situation there as chaotic as possible. Remember, don't say that you are from the Kingdom of Danu."

A general asked, "Grand Preceptor, does the Kingdom of Zili know about this? Do they agree to us doing this?"

“We have already sent someone to inform their king; whether they agree or not is not important,” Mutai said.

Zli is just a small, allied nation, easily manipulated. Why should we consider its opinion?

He looked at the generals and said, "If things go too smoothly, you will serve as the vanguard in capturing the Great Swamp Kingdom, and a large reinforcement will follow to meet you."

If the momentum is truly unstoppable, then the Great Khan of Shinju will not give up such an opportunity.

The Emperor of Daze Kingdom is currently ill and has not yet recovered, so the timing is not bad.

However, Qiao Lian'er had already planted spies in the Da Nu Kingdom. Although they couldn't enter the secret tent to eavesdrop on the most confidential information, they could roughly judge the Da Nu Kingdom's intentions by observing the commotion here.

Upon receiving the message by carrier pigeon, she pondered whether to cut off the attack of the Da Nu Kingdom as soon as the army reached the border, or to take this opportunity to achieve another great feat.
