The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Xie Linlang stood on the city gate and looked to the west, looking a little worried.

At this time, she was holding a letter from Qin Jue, which said that he had obtained the right to be the commander-in-chief of the western garrison, so he did not need Xiang Cheng's military support, and asked her to protect herself and pay attention to defense.

Xie Linlang was worried. Before receiving the letter, he had already sent Dong Qi to lead a team of people Qin Jue was used to. If they were fast enough, they should have arrived the day before yesterday...

Just yesterday, the state of Nuo launched an army attack. It had been preparing for a long time, so after breaking the treaty, it could launch an attack soon. The purpose was not to give Qin time to respond and catch them off guard.

If Qin Jue hadn't eradicated the traitors in the garrison in advance, the 80,000 garrison troops would have been unable to survive the first round, and the enemy would have marched in with such a fierce attack.

Fortunately, he did it, and so far there has been no news of a crisis in the western border defense. Presumably Qin Jue did not suffer a loss in the first round against the country of Nuo and successfully blocked them.

This is a good thing. After all, the plan of Swamp Kingdom failed in the first step, which will definitely affect all subsequent layouts.

For example, if the Ze Kingdom sees that the Swamp Kingdom is having trouble sending troops, will it still send troops?

No, it will wait and see.

The Zeguo royal family is extremely cunning. If it is not sure of victory, it will not take action rashly.

If they had no follow-up countermeasures, the war might be cut in half because of Qin Jue's incident.

After all, when the Marsh Kingdom saw that the Ze Kingdom did not send troops on time, they would feel guilty. In the end, they would probably just beat them briefly, then retreat and continue to use the dead prince as a raft, making Da Qin shameless in pursuing the victory.

If the Swamp Kingdom retreats, it will be even less possible for the Ze Kingdom to take action, and the previous alliance will easily be broken.

Is it just that simple?

Xie Linlang looked at the clouds on the horizon and shook his head. The death of Marquis Xichuan had proved that there was a change in the plan. The country of Zhu knew that there was a change and still took action resolutely. Obviously, he had a way to deal with it.

In this game, they made the first move, and she suddenly appeared, from the chess piece they wanted to use to the person they were playing against, and disrupted their layout as soon as she made a move.

They made a move and she counterattacked. How would the other party react to their next move?

Xie Linlang smiled softly as she thought about it, and suddenly remembered the national player master who was so angry with her when she was a child.

He angrily swore, "One day, I will defeat you!"

And she replied to him with something that made him even more angry, "With me, there are only two outcomes, you losing and me winning. No matter how evenly matched the process is, victory definitely belongs to me only."

After thinking about it, she laughed softly. Go was the only thing that a nerd like her could do, not to mention that she had experienced so much. Compared to her previous life, she had experienced more than just a rebirth?

Just as she was laughing, Mr. Huang hurriedly climbed up the city wall and handed a secret report into her hands.

"Lord City Lord, as you expected, Zeguo has sent troops!"

Xie Linlang opened the letter and asked, "Is the naval force suppressing the formation but not attacking?"

"Exactly! They seem to be waiting to see something..."

Xie Linlang unfolded the letter and read it word for word.

Originally, she thought Zeguo was waiting and watching, but she saw that Zhuguo had sent troops, so she put up a little bit of a formation to wait and see, and at the same time give her allies some confidence.

But when news came from the water bandits that Zeguo had sent two hundred warships this time, her expression became serious.

Although the letter stated that there were not many people on Zejun's deck, the ship had a heavy draft, so she had every reason to suspect that the other party had large weapons or people hidden on the ship.

In other words, Zeguo is serious this time. He is just waiting and watching temporarily, mainly waiting for an opportunity.

Xie Linlang thought about it secretly and handed the letter to Mr. Huang. After reading it, Mr. Huang had similar thoughts to hers, but he still comforted her.

"City Lord, please don't worry. After the war starts in Nuo Kingdom, all border defense arrangements will begin to be tense, so it won't be long before Xiangcheng will also have military assistance from the imperial court in case of emergency."

This is a tradition of the Qin Dynasty. If one party initiates a war, martial law will be instituted on both sides to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. If I remember correctly, this is a tradition left by the founding emperor.

Xie Linlang nodded, but her eyebrows did not relax. She turned around and looked at the city below. Seeing the people coming and going in Xiangcheng, her mind calmed down little by little.

Although everyone knew that Xiang Cheng was preparing for war, and although she mobilized many young men to replenish her troops, their normal lives were not affected too much. The main reason was that they all trusted her.

I believe she can protect them even in troubled times.

This belief motivates her all the time. With them around, she even thinks that she is omnipotent, truly omnipotent!

Soon, five days passed, and the troops heading south to strengthen defenses and the troops heading west to assist were on their way.

At this time, the court should have just received the news that the Ze army was approaching the border, so it still didn't know what decisions it would make in the future. However, Xie Linlang was relieved when he heard that reinforcements were coming to the west, so that Qin Jue's pressure would be much less.

At this time, Xiao Xi came over. He handed Xie Linlang's urgent letter from Eight Hundred Miles and said.

"Sir, your letter was delivered to His Majesty earlier than the urgent report, but there is no response from His Majesty for the time being."

Xie Linlang expressed understanding.

After confirming that Zeguo was not just waiting and watching, but was serious about it, she hurriedly sent a message to the emperor.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, the Ze army is serious about pressing the border. The reason why they did not attack rashly is that they were obviously waiting for an opportunity.

She guessed that Zeguo was probably still preparing for a land war!

Therefore, we implore the emperor to deploy heavy troops on both land and water. The pre-emptive strike of the Swamp Kingdom may be just an introduction. The real trump card is the Ze Kingdom! The emperor must take it seriously!

Her letter should reach the emperor earlier than the border guard's letter, so that the emperor can know the news of Zeguo's mutiny earlier than the courtiers, giving him more time to think about countermeasures.

But this kind of matter is a big deal, and he will definitely discuss it with the courtiers, so naturally he will not reply to her so quickly.

But understanding is understanding, and worry is worry.

The Qin Dynasty is so wealthy and currently facing a national crisis. As long as the emperor can use this opportunity to force all the aristocratic families to unite their front, even if the two countries attack at the same time, they will still have a chance of winning.

Her main concern is Zeguo. The opponent is undecided, and there are a thousand possibilities. But it is possible that it has already made a move, but she doesn't know it yet.

In this depressing atmosphere, everyone felt uneasy.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Linlang suddenly woke up from her dream, and then Qin Jue's secret guard appeared and handed a letter to her.

There was only one sentence in the letter.

——The imperial court summoned all soldiers and horses back to Beijing to focus on protecting the capital.

(Every time I write a big plot, I tend to get stuck, so tonight, I will post about one chapter per hour, sorting out the plot, and writing the follow-up...)

(In addition, when foreign invaders came, the imperial court not only did not fight, but also summoned all the troops to rush back. This is actually a similar thing that happened in history. History is sometimes so wonderful and often beyond people's expectations.)
