“As you say, we retreat to our territory and wait for the Prince's disastrous defeat before cleaning up the mess. It is indeed a good strategy for us to benefit from the conflict between the two parties. However, Song Ru, you have always been a scholar-general and a strategist. Your military strategies and plans are very effective. In a three-way war, we can preserve our strength and ultimately profit. No problem.”

But you are, after all, not a politician. War, after all, always serves politics.

“If what you say is true, then in the eyes of the world, what would this King become The constant chatter of the masses, a prince who commands the nation's most elite cavalry corps, choosing to stand idly by while the court and the crown prince suffer defeat… By then, the saliva of all the scholars in the land would be enough to drown this King.”

Upon hearing this, Li Songru was eager to speak but hesitated.

The King of Ning waved his hand, signaling him to stop speaking. Then he said, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that those literati's pens can't kill people, and their words can't kill people either. As long as I remain in power, these things are all insignificant and harmless, aren't they"

Li Songru remained silent, but his eyes and expression conveyed his thoughts clearly. That's exactly what he thought.

"Wrong."

King Ning said meaningfully: "If I just want to be a true King of the Northwest, then naturally this would be the way. But since I've always been thinking about sitting on that chair in the capital, I can't afford to ignore my image or public opinion."

Li Songru frowned and remained silent.

King Ning said, "Your Highness, you are too young and lack experience. However, this is nothing to worry about. In my opinion, the biggest rivals in our quest for dominance over Central Plains are King Wen and his two brothers."

King Ning let out a sigh and murmured, "There are some things that this king cannot say too clearly. You only need to know that this king has already considered everything you think, and that will be enough."

Li Songru gathered his courage and said, "Your Highness, are you truly not withdrawing your troops Everything Your Highness has said is based on the premise of the Crown Prince's defeat. But what if the Crown Prince wins"

Li Songru said solemnly, “The prince...gives me a very frightening feeling.”

Shaking his head, King Ning's evaluation of Li Songru dropped a notch. However, his previous performance had been brilliant enough that King Ning did not reprimand him harshly. He said, "You're overthinking it. Unless Tai Zu was alive, even if the God of War rose from his grave, he would still be confident in this defeat."

"It is getting late, you should rest. The military orders from the Prince will arrive at the latest by tomorrow evening. You need to ensure you have enough energy, to both exert your strength and avoid losses. While I hold the overall situation in hand, many details still require your judgment," King Ning said with gravity.

Li Songru wore a grave expression, but he ultimately nodded and said, "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will return to rest now, and I also ask Your Highness to rest early."

Ning Wang nodded and smiled as he watched Li Songru leave the tent.

After Li Songru left, the smile on King Ning's face gradually vanished.

He furrowed his brows, standing motionless for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a unique sandalwood fragrance reached King Ning's nose.

King Ning suddenly turned around, but saw an old monk standing in the corner of the tent, who knew when he had arrived.

Awake.ary time, so extraordinary measures must be taken to solve it."As for safety...Zhao Xuanji turned to face Li Chen and bowed, saying, "Your Highness wishes to accomplish what ordinary people cannot, na...
