"You mean we should lead the troops into battle? But only one general will be sent.
If we seize military power, Li Ye himself will have no chance to go to war."
The third prince frowned and said.
"That's right! Besides, Li Ye has led troops in battle many times and made great contributions. I think my father still prefers Li Ye as the commander-in-chief.
Unless he can't complete the work smoothly.
I've never had the chance to lead troops into battle!"
The prince analyzed and said.
Shi Wushuang looked like he had everything under control, with a smile on his face, and said calmly: "Your Highness is right to think so!
But think about it, in order to win the battle this time, the barbarians won over several enemy countries to form an alliance.
He was just a general, and it was impossible for him to give command smoothly when fighting on a border line of thousands of miles.
Therefore, you must report to the Emperor and each lead your troops to deal with an enemy country to prevent the enemy from invading Dayuan from multiple locations.
At the same time, we can also compete to see who has the strongest ability to lead the troops."
After hearing what Shi Wushuang said, the third prince was extremely excited.
Most of the officials who supported him were military generals, and they were good at leading troops in battle.
But the prince remained silent.
Although it is said that they will temporarily unite with the third prince to deal with Li Ye.
These two people are still competitors.
If the third prince becomes prominent, he will be looked down upon by the emperor.
Doesn’t that mean he, the crown prince, has two enemies?
The Third Prince didn't notice his ugly expression and said happily, "Master Wushuang, this is a good idea! With the support of Yunlu Pavilion, we can definitely defeat Li Ye."
Shi Wushuang glanced at the Crown Prince, and knowing what he was thinking, he advised him, "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if you have no experience in leading troops in battle, don't forget that you still have the support of Yunlu Pavilion.
Qingxue and I will come to your side to assist in commanding the battle.
The contributions he made are no less than those of the third prince.
Your Highness must remember that times like these are the time to unite and deal with Li Ye together."
The Third Prince nodded repeatedly: "Master Wushuang is right, we must deal with Li Ye first."
Hearing that Shi Wushuang would assist him, the prince felt relieved: "Since it has come to this, I also agree with this method.
When our father and the emperor discuss this matter, we will all volunteer together."
"That's great! As long as we work together, we can definitely defeat Li Ye!" The third prince was very excited, thinking that victory was a sure thing.
Shi Wu watched the plan succeed with his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he continued to add fuel to the fire: “This alone is not enough, if we want to win, we must win completely.
Your Highness, have you ever considered that this operation is a perfect opportunity to resolve all future troubles?"
The third prince and the crown prince looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Shi Wushuang continued: "Fighting on the front line is always an extremely dangerous thing.
Why don't we take this opportunity to use the enemy army to kill Li Ye.
As long as he dies on the battlefield, it has nothing to do with Your Highness."
"That's true, but I know Lao Liu's character very well.
He never takes risks and is very cautious.
If they find that the enemy is strong, they will never fight head-on, and may even lead their troops to turn around and run away.
It's not that easy to kill him with the enemy's troops!"
The prince frowned and said.
"Since we are using the barbarian army, we should provide them with assistance!
As long as the news that Li Ye is leading the army is notified to the enemy, they can even cooperate with them to encircle and suppress Li Ye.
Wouldn’t that be much easier?”
There is no other smile in the world.
“You mean for us to collude with the enemy against our own army?
If the news leaks out, it will be a capital crime.
Even if we are princes, our father will definitely not show mercy."
The third prince was shocked and didn't dare to do that.
“Although this is a good idea, it is actually too risky!
What's more, the enemy is not trustworthy.
If you sell us out afterwards, you'll be shooting yourself in the foot."
The prince also disagreed with this.
Shi Wushuang unfolded his folding fan and acted like a master.
"Your Highness, rest assured. Since Wushuang has come up with this plan, he is fully confident that it will not leave any trouble.
Yunlu Pavilion also has some influence on the northern countries.
They also very much hope to get the support of Yunlu Pavilion.
As long as the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion show goodwill to them, they will definitely gain their trust.
Pass the message through the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion, and let the enemy forces unite to deal with Li Ye first.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole catches it.
Even if the enemy could successfully annihilate the army led by Li Ye, it would be severely damaged and the entire army would be exhausted.
Later, a prince led a large army to annihilate the enemy.
This will not only solve future problems, but also achieve great results.
Although this plan is extremely vicious, I am sincerely thinking about the future of His Highness.
Of course, if His Highness wants to rely on his own leadership to defeat Li Ye.
Just pretend that Wushuang never said these words."
After hearing such a thorough plan, the two agreed immediately.
Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were overjoyed, their faces filled with smiles.
The prince quickly said, "We certainly trust you. Since you have considered everything carefully, there is nothing you dare not do."
"That's absolutely right! How can we not use such a good idea?
He is truly worthy of being called Master Wushuang, to be able to come up with such a wonderful idea.
This really kills two birds with one stone!"
The third prince also quickly praised.
"There is one more thing that requires your help, Your Highness!" Shi Wushuang saw that the first plan was successful, and quickly made a request to implement the second plan.
"We are not outsiders. Master Wushuang, please feel free to speak up. We don't have to go all out as long as we can."
The prince patted his chest and said.
"It's like this, the barbarians and the enemy countries in the north are extremely short of weapons and medicine.
If you want to gain their trust, you can't just rely on words.
We must show our sincerity.
The best way to gain their trust is to provide them with weapons and medicinal herbs for healing."
There is no one like him in the world.
"This is a bit of a hassle! War is about to break out, and these things are extremely scarce and have always been strictly controlled.
Even if it can be prepared, it may not be delivered!"
The prince frowned.
"Your Highness, don't worry. As long as we purchase these things under the pretext of equipping the army, no one will notice.
As for how to ship it out, I'll figure it out.
In addition, the other party will pay double the price for this batch of weapons, allowing Your Highness to make a lot of money again.
If you want to hook the enemy, you can't do it without enough bait.
The risks that need to be taken must be taken!"
Shi Wushuang tried every possible way to persuade him.
The tasks assigned by the master must be completed.
When they heard that there was money to be made and no transportation was required, the fruit attracted the interest of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
"Just preparing weapons and medicinal materials is not a big problem. I will accept this matter." said the prince.
"I'll prepare a batch for you as well. It will be safer if we prepare together!" The third prince didn't want to give up the opportunity to make money, so he quickly added.
