Received a military report from Ma Zhong's messenger.

It is related to the fact that Prince Ni sent dead soldiers and horses to Longxi in order to persuade the general Fei Yao to send troops to the Qiang border to intimidate himself.

In order to force no extra military force to help the second prince seize power.

Regarding this trend.

Zhao Tong didn't really care that much at the moment.

Presumably, a reinforcement force sent by the governor Huo Jun has arrived at Qiang Road.

The defense lines surrounding the Qiang Road have been strengthened.

He firmly believed that Fei Yao must be afraid at this moment!

In the previous series of battles, Zhao Tong was able to win successively even though he was outnumbered.

Zhao Tong's power has obviously been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the enemy.

Secondly, and most importantly, the Cao family is now leading a large-scale stalemate with the Sun family in the east of the Yangtze River on the Ruxu front, so large-scale war must not break out on the western front.

Being surrounded by enemies on both sides will definitely be disadvantageous for Cao's army.

As for the Qiang Dao who has now strengthened its defenses, Fei Yao would at most be waiting with troops and making a bluff.

There won't be any substantial actions.

"Therefore, Cao Jun does not need to worry too much, unless Fei Yao is an iron-headed boy who insists on restarting the war with our army and launches an offensive at all costs."

After saying this, Zhao Tong looked extremely calm and analyzed with Zhao Ying who was standing by his side.

There was a strong look of confidence on his face.

"What the general said is true!" After hearing this, Zhao Ying from the side also smiled and agreed, and the respect for Zhao Tong in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Then she said again: "However, in this letter, General Ma mentioned that Prince Ni of Shenlangqiang seemed to have ascended to the throne first with the unanimous support of all the ministers in the royal court."

"And the second prince is currently actively contacting the surrounding tribes to launch a counterattack."

"This thing seems to be unexpected, and we have to take precautions!"

Say it in one word.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was indeed smart and thoughtful, she grasped the key points of the matter almost immediately. Seeing this, Zhao Tong nodded in agreement and agreed.

"Indeed, the original plan we made was to support the second prince in his fight for the throne and try to control the matter and end it in the royal court."

"Even, if necessary, let Ma Zhong directly lead his knights to attack the royal court as a deterrent."

After saying this, Zhao Tong seemed to pause in his words, and then said with a somewhat regretful tone: "It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes!"

"I didn't expect that this person would win over so many ministers from the royal court, and he would be supported to climb up the palace on the night King Shenlang Lao Qiang died of illness, thus setting the overall situation."

"It seems that the previously planned plan to fight for the throne and raid the royal court has failed, and we have to think about it in the long term."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked directly into Zhao Ying's eyes. Seeing that there seemed to be a lot of wisdom hidden in his deep eyes, they were gushing like a river, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Does Aying have any good ideas?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying smiled. She had been getting along with Zhao Tong for more than half a year, so she naturally understood his nature, so she said slowly:

"General, the situation has changed now. In my opinion, the second prince wants to use the power of the surrounding tribes to counterattack the royal court. I am afraid this matter will change."

"Oh? What does Aying mean?"

"This move worked before because the second prince and Prince Ni were on the same level. No one could take the lead first. So it would be feasible to win over the surrounding clan leaders!"

"But now that Prince Ni has successfully succeeded to the throne, if he issues royal orders in the name of the royal court, even if the clan leaders have already responded to the second prince in advance."

"But there is a high probability that they will hesitate, and then stand still, wait and see the situation, and watch the internal struggle between the two."

After hearing this analysis, Zhao Tong reacted extremely quickly. He quickly reacted, slapped his forehead and said, "That's right!"

"How could I have forgotten this incident?"

"This person can definitely use the king's order to inform the surrounding tribes under his command to stabilize the clan leaders, and then take the opportunity to stabilize the overall situation of the royal court."

"Then it will be too difficult for the second prince to rely on the tribal forces to gather to counterattack the royal court."

Having said that, Zhao Tong also began to think deeply, wondering if there were any other ways to help the second prince regain the throne as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.

"This matter must be put into effect as soon as possible." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Tong said loudly: "Since this person has successfully succeeded to the throne."

"Then he must have ordered his men to announce the king's orders to the tribes, and then take advantage of the situation to stabilize the situation in the royal court."

"If we really wait for it to stabilize the situation, then the situation will be over!"

"When this person is connected with the Cao family, the threat on our flanks will be under great pressure, and the situation will be difficult."

"But what else can we do?"

He thought hard.

At the critical moment, he had not thought of a good plan for a long time.

It was only after some advice from Zhao Ying who was watching from the side that he finally had an epiphany.

"General, since the minds of Prince Ni and the Second Prince are now focused on the clan leaders of the surrounding tribes, this period in the royal court coincides with the death of King Lao Qiang."

"Perhaps the people in the royal court are agitated and slightly confused at this time."

"Is there any advantageous opportunity for us to take advantage of?"

After saying this, Zhao Tong suddenly came to his senses and responded: "Aying, you are right, why don't our army continue to use the royal court as a breakthrough?"

"Although Prince Ni has successfully ascended the throne, the political situation in the royal court cannot be stabilized in a short period of time, so this is an opportunity to make a breakthrough!"

"I will write a letter immediately and send it to Ma Zhong to explain the causes and consequences, so that he can adapt accordingly."

The words just fell.

Zhao Tong didn't hesitate at all, so he picked up his pen and filled it with ink. Upon seeing this, Zhao Ying immediately started laying out the paper.

Then he stood quietly on one side, with a smile on his face, and watched silently.

After a while.

Zhao Tong just finished writing, then put down his pen and blew on the paper a few times. After the ink had dried, he put it into the letterhead.

Send a messenger to deliver it quickly.

After finishing all the work, Zhao Tong looked sideways at Zhao Ying who was standing next to him, and said with sincere gratitude:

"Aying, I really appreciate your advice this time."

"Otherwise, I would have been unable to find the key to breaking the situation, and I might have missed a good opportunity!".

The words fell out.

The smile on Zhao Ying's face grew thicker, and he raised his hand and responded: "Haha~ General, I'm overly complimentary. In fact, with your intelligence, even if Ying didn't propose it, you would definitely be able to figure it out later."

"The key is that the general was in the middle of the situation and was confused for a moment, while Ying reasoned from the perspective of a bystander, and his thinking became clear."

Facing Zhao Tong's thanks.

Zhao Ying responded with a humble expression.

After this strategy is adopted, the strategy for how to deal with the new Qiang king of Shenlang Qiang will be solved.

Follow closely.

Zhao Tong also immediately sent the guards outside the tent to summon all the generals in the army to discuss matters.

About two quarters of an hour later.

All the generals gathered in the big tent one after another.

The commander-in-chief, Zhao Tong, was now on top of the throne, scanning the generals who were standing proudly one by one, and saw that they were almost all present.

He just took the lead and said loudly:

"Everyone, according to the military information I have just received, the old Qiang King of Shenlang Qiang has died of illness in the royal tent. Prince Ni took the lead and successfully ascended the throne with the support of all the ministers."

"This person may have joined forces with the Cao family."

"Cao's army in Longxi is afraid that he will deploy troops on the border soon and is eyeing our Qiang Dao camp!"

As soon as he said this, the generals on both sides started discussing.

"Ah? Then Prince Ni successfully ascended the throne?"

"Then won't the plan previously formulated by our army be ineffective?"

"As a result, the Cao family and Shenlang Qiang are colluding one after another, and our army will be in a crisis-ridden situation, right?"

"What should be the plan now?"

A few words in a row.

I saw that when the generals first heard about this, they became anxious unconsciously.

Previously, it was about whether to support the second prince to succeed to the throne.

Zhao Tong summoned the generals many times to discuss the matter.
