With Zhao Yunchen's return, the Northwest will be left unguarded. If it falls into the wrong hands, the Northwest will descend into chaos.
The reason Zhao Yunchen was so eager to return was because he discovered that Li Ting had secretly gone to the Northwest and resolved the snow disaster.
He intended to suppress those disobedient soldiers and generals in remote areas, only wanting to make an example of them, but little did he know that someone would pass the message on to Li Ting.
Now, throughout the entire Northwest, apart from his own men, everyone agrees that Li Ting was indeed cunning.
Crown Prince Xiao Sheng's reputation is now that of a bodhisattva in the Northwest.
In addition, a letter from Zhao Yunchen's informant in the palace said that the situation in the palace seemed to have changed, and Emperor Hui had not personally handled state affairs for a long time.
Zhao Yunchen was quick-witted and wanted to return to the capital to gather information so that he could formulate a plan when he returned to the Northwest.
Huangfu Chuying learned from a letter Zhao Yunchen had previously written to Zhao Guangyun that he had been raising a private army.
If a general keeps a private army, it means that the general has ulterior motives.
Huangfu Chuying must stop this.
The land of Nan Chen Kingdom can only belong to Da Yue Kingdom.
Upon returning to the capital, Zhao Yunchen first held a private discussion with his father about the situation in the Southern Chen Kingdom.
The father and son warned each other not to let Huangfu Chuying know about their plan, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain.
Li Xingran was also wondering why Zhao Yunchen had come back at this time.
The direction this book is taking now is a bit confusing.
However, she firmly believes that her lucky charm constitution will surely bring her good fortune and turn misfortune into good luck.
Li Ting ordered his men to keep an eye on Zhao Yunchen and report to him on all the places he had been and all the things he had said.
Zhao Yunchen had read several military books, but his martial arts skills were only so-so.
The reason why the Great Liang Kingdom was able to hold out in the Northwest for so many years was firstly because of the truce agreement signed between the two kingdoms.
Secondly, the soldiers led by Li Ting were diligent and hardworking in protecting the Northwest.
Zhao Guangyun was fully aware of his wife's and daughter's plans.
However, Zhao Guangyun felt that helping his son get promoted was the best option.
Replace the Xiao family with the Zhao family.
The day after Zhao Yunchen arrived in the capital, Li Ting received another letter from Leng Han, saying that the Northwest was now leaderless and had fallen into chaos once again.
The letter that the spy planted by the Great Liang Kingdom in the Southern Chen Kingdom sent back to the Great Liang Kingdom was delivered to the Great Liang Imperial Palace.
Yuchi Mingjun received news that Zhao Yunchen had returned to the capital at an unexpected time.
In addition to the secrets of the spy, the current emperor of Yan Nanchen Kingdom has not personally handled state affairs for several months, and many matters are handled by the prime minister.
Recently, the Empress has been accompanying Emperor Hui to handle state affairs in the Golden Palace.
Emperor Hui's personality changed drastically, and he became more indecisive.
Many decisions were made by the Queen.
It seems that an opportunity has come for the Great Liang Kingdom.
As long as the Great Liang army presses in, the Northwest will be within our grasp.
Upon learning the news, Li Ting immediately contacted the three students who had passed the martial arts examination this year and were assigned by the Ministry of Personnel to work under Zhao Yunchen.
The secret letter clearly instructed them to guard the Northwest, and to send Leng Han and Feng Zhu to help if necessary.
Furthermore, it is hoped that the three will seize this opportunity to take control of half of the leadership of the Northwest Army.
Upon receiving their mentor's orders, the three immediately began their operation.
Yuchi Mingjun dispatched Yuchi Wudi to lead a large army to attack the border of Nanchen Kingdom.
Some villages were burned, killed, and plundered by the Great Liang Kingdom.
The Great Liang Kingdom pressed forward relentlessly, and the scouts sent out three urgent dispatches, each lasting 800 li, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple.
Zhao Yunwan took all those memorials and burned them.
Afterwards, Zhao Yunwan ordered the Imperial Guards to follow Zhao Yunchen, preparing to return to the Northwest.
Huangfu Chuying stopped her son.
She didn't really know much about this son who didn't grow up with her.
Li Xingran blinked her big eyes as she watched her father walk back and forth, wanting to share his burden.
But Li Ting hesitated to speak.
"Father, is it the attack on the Northwest by the Great Liang Kingdom that is making you anxious?"
Li Ting hugged Li Xingran and kissed her little face.
"Ruanruan, your father wants to go to the battlefield, but he's worried about you."
"Father, you have already relinquished your military power. You can only go to the battlefield if the emperor reappoints you as the Grand General."
"For now, you can only watch from the sidelines. Don't worry, those three students are all outstanding individuals. They are fully capable of making the greatest contribution in this invasion of the Great Liang Kingdom."
"Ruanruan, is what you said true?"
“Really, Father.”
"Gui Dongkai will later become a great general guarding the northwest border. However, in the book, he is Xiao Ding's man, but his loyalty is undeniable."
"Dong Minghui is a useful person. Sometimes, it's time to let go!"
“If Father is worried, you can go to the Northwest, but you cannot go in your current capacity; you must go in another capacity.”
“However, Father, we can now use the secret army you have to attack the Great Liang Kingdom, which will reduce their military strength for attacking the Northwest.”
"Father understands, Father will make the arrangements right away."
"Yes, Father, actually, the chaos in Nanchen Kingdom is good for us. It allows us to see who is righteous and who is evil."
“We have the ability to control the situation now, but we also need to bring those people to the surface, otherwise digging them out one by one would be too much trouble.”
"Ruan Ruan is right. Those who achieve great things must consider the big picture."
"Father, you will always be the guardian of the Southern Chen Kingdom. Sometimes, protecting from behind is more difficult than protecting from the front!"
Hearing Li Xingran's words, Li Ting finally let go of his worries.
Protecting the Nan Chen Kingdom in a different way, though difficult, will allow more talented young people to emerge.
The imperial court needs loyal and courageous men.
His strength alone is limited; he should expand and grow!
Li Ting walked out of the courtyard with a sigh of relief. He was going to help those future pillars of society grow.
From now on, he can stay in the capital with his wife and children without worry.
The chivalrous life I dreamed of as a child might soon become a reality.
Xiao Sheng returned to the palace, accompanied by Qianmian, Xiao Ma'er, and Granny Wang, and began investigating evidence of Zhao Yunshu's murder.
Li Ting had also made arrangements, bringing with him various wound medicines and antidote pills that Fan Zu'an had prepared for him.
Li Xingran put the gold-threaded soft armor on Li Ting.
"Ruanruan, don't worry, you have to trust your father's abilities."
Li Ting chose to use a secret army to launch a surprise attack on the Great Liang Kingdom, and take back the 1.5 million square kilometers of land that the Great Liang Kingdom had previously seized by kneeling ceremony.
Chen Sanduo made countless masks for Li Ting.
Before leaving, Fan Zuan also cured Li Ting's lameness.
Xu Ningyou delivered the chariot, allowing Li Ting to command the battle from inside.
With everything prepared, Li Ting, accompanied by his personal bodyguard Leng Bing, left the capital through a secret passage.
