Shang Dynasty Palace

"Attack Tianqing Imperial City? Gui San, is this really the plan, brother?"

Shang Chen looked at the ghost-faced man standing below in surprise and asked.

"Your Highness, the master did instruct us to do so," Gui San replied.

“But the Shang State has 100,000 troops defending against Yunlang in the east and 50,000 troops guarding against Beihuang in the north.

There are also more than 100,000 soldiers and horses scattered in the south and guarding the imperial city.

The total number of troops that could be quickly mobilized to the western border was less than 200,000."

The Shang Kingdom did not have many soldiers and horses, and the area they were actually defending was Tianqing in the west.

Firstly, Sheng Yuan has been guarding the area for the past twenty years, so naturally they would not send troops to guard the border between the south and Sheng Yuan.

Secondly, Yunlang and Beihuang, one has internal troubles and the other has no ambition at all.

Therefore, there were not many soldiers and horses guarding the east and north.

It was deployed bit by bit after Shang Chen returned to China.

The Shang Kingdom had less than 500,000 soldiers available, which was pitifully small compared to the other three kingdoms which had millions of soldiers.

Not to mention, the geographical location of the Shang State was sandwiched between three countries.

Even if it is just to dispatch troops to defend the borders of the three countries, it would be all we have.

A few days ago, Prince An rebelled and brought his so-called royal brother, the late emperor's posthumous prince, to replace him.

If it weren't for the ghost guards left behind by the emperor's brother, and the strong support of the old ministers who were loyal to my father and mother.

He was afraid that he would not be able to quell the civil unrest so quickly.

“Not to mention the 200,000 soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city inside and outside Tianqing Luocang City.

Just along this route, if we want to capture Luocang City, the garrisons in the important cities along the way would have to total another 200,000 soldiers."

The Shang Kingdom’s current military strength is adequate for defense, but it is difficult to launch an offensive.

Even if they can break into Tianqing, after all the consumption along the way, how many troops will be left after they finally arrive at Luocang City?

At that time, facing the 200,000 soldiers inside and outside Luocang City, wouldn’t it be like a drop in the ocean?

"Does my royal brother have any other plans?"

Shang Chen naturally also received the news that shocked the world.

Shangguan Chiyue led his troops to attack Shengyuan, and the two countries will surely have a tough battle.

Moreover, according to the arrangement of his royal brother, he pretended to promise Prince Ruyang to lend him a helping hand.

This caused King Ruyang to suddenly attack Emperor Yunlang, disrupting Yunlang's internal affairs and leaving the Yunlang Kingdom unable to take care of itself.

Now it seems that this is indeed the best time to redistribute the world and help the Shang Kingdom break through the encirclement of the Three Kingdoms.

But the lack of generals and soldiers is a fatal flaw. No matter how brilliant the strategy is, without enough soldiers and horses, others will not be able to recover.

It will be difficult to defeat the enemy with fewer troops or to use soft tactics against hard tactics.

The emperor is not a person who acts rashly, and he believes that the emperor must have other plans.

Just like a few days ago, when we faced Tianqing’s sudden reinforcement of troops.

The emperor told him not to act rashly and to wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, Gui San nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness Chen, please rest assured.

The two hundred thousand soldiers inside and outside Luocang City of Tianqing Kingdom are now under the command of the master.

This attack on Shang was a feint. Your Highness should just assume that he is being harassed and is determined to strike back.

Once Your Highness enters Tianqing, the master will work with Your Highness to incorporate all the cities between Shang State and Luocang City into Shang State.

In addition, there is also the Western Region, which has also reached an agreement with the master.

Harass at the right time to contain the 300,000 troops under the command of Ma Libo, Tianqing's Western General."

After Gui San finished his instructions, he took out a secret letter from his arms. The unique mark on the letter was only known to Shang Chen and Shang Yi.

Shang Chen stroked the contents written word by word on the secret letter and couldn't help but sigh: My royal brother is really so wise that he is almost a demon.

He wanted more than once to return the position of crown prince and the throne of Shang to his brother.

Shang Chen felt that as long as his royal brother was around, the Shang Kingdom would surely be able to restore its former prosperity.

No...it should be more prosperous than ever before.

But for some reason, my royal brother kept refusing.

Shang Chen thought that no matter what decision his royal brother made, he would stand by his royal brother.

My royal brother was sent away as soon as he was born, and endured the pain of separation from his family.

Although he was trapped in Shengyuan these years, he lived a life of luxury for more than 20 years.

Even though he had been quietly investigating the past of the Shang Kingdom, trying to figure out what happened back then.

But in the end, he was trapped in a cage with too many restrictions.

It was not until later, eight years ago, when his royal brother found him that he found out.

What happened back then actually held such a shocking secret. He had hated her before! He had also considered revenge, regardless of the consequences.

But when you calm down, you realize that you need to prepare for everything, be patient, and wait for the opportunity.

The emperor's brother gave him ghost guards to protect him secretly and pass on information, so that he finally had ears and eyes.

It was the emperor's brother who made money step by step

It was the emperor who recruited troops step by step

It was the emperor's brother who helped him return to the country step by step

All of this was because of the royal brother. The royal brother was in the darkness, but tried his best to pull him into the sunlight.

It was my royal brother who had been making careful plans and preparing for everything on his own.

She can't even have a real name, but she is determined to help him get to the top.

He longed to avenge his father and mother, and to push the Shang Kingdom to a more powerful level.

It seemed that the emperor always considered him, and everything he did in the dark was for his freedom in the light.

It seems that the emperor's brother has never had what he wants, what belongs to him.

No…

Maybe there is one, there is one person!

Shang Chen looked at Gui San and asked, "How is Miss Yu?"

Gui San was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the Jade Girl that His Highness Shang Chen mentioned was the Witch Seven Emotions.

"Hmm...still sleeping..."

Shang Chen nodded and burned the secret letter.

He said, "Ghost Third, go back and tell my brother that I already know what to do next. Don't worry..."

Gui San replied, "Yes!"

Gui San turned around and prepared to leave.

Shang Chen added, “Tell my brother that some mistakes cannot be rectified.

Once you miss some people, you can never change your mind.

Cherish the people around you... Don't leave regrets for the rest of your life! "
