Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C1050 1049 The Best Way

“Second Brother’s army is actually stationed in overlying water. No wonder we can’t find them in Yizhou.”

Jindu, Imperial Palace.

At this time, in the royal study, the lights were shining brightly, Kaiser Yan Shuo and a few courtiers and officials were all present, the expression on their faces was not too light.

“King Carefree… You truly cannot be underestimated. ”

Prime Minister Wang laughed coldly as he saw the news that came from the front.

“The east and west sides of the overlying water that are nearing the Easternum are filled with tall mountains, and the south side is facing the sea. No matter which direction we attack from, it will not be easy for us.”

Yan Jue pointed to the map in front of him, and said hoarsely, there was a hint of weariness in his voice.

In these past few days, he had been searching for the location of Liu Tian Xin almost every single day, but he hadn’t been able to find the slightest hint of a clue.

In just a month’s time, he had been so thin that both his cheeks had been cut in, and he no longer had any energy or vigor left.

“Yes, overlying water’s terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack. This is probably the reason why King Carefree chose to hide his army here.”

Yan Xiao opened his mouth, and no longer addressed Yan Xie as his second brother.

“The King Carefree has hidden the army here, but a seat like the overlying water is unable to provide them with enough military supplies, if we were to deliver the food, wouldn’t we have to pass under our nose?”

Yan Shuo frowned, “Our men have blocked all the routes to the overlying water to deliver the salary, what does he have to support the two hundred thousand strong army with?”

As Yan Shuo said this, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat angry in his heart.

Inside the imperial study, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

After a while, Yan Xiao’s calm voice suddenly sounded, “Secret passage.”

“Secret passage?”

Everyone turned to look at Yan Xiao at the same time, and then looked at the map.

He heard Yan Xiao say: “Just as the Emperor had said, our men have guarded various passes, and the overlying water is unable to provide sufficient military pay. The only way is to use a secret passage and avoid our eyes and ears, then directly send the military pay to the overlying water.”

Yan Xiao’s slender finger pointed at the map, after that, he picked up the brush on the table, took some cinnabar, and drew a red line on the map, from the Tian Zhuang to the overlying water.

He looked at the crowd and said, “From the map, there are quite a few mountains here. If we want to send salaries over, we must go around them. Not only is it dangerous, it is a long way. However, if we dig a secret tunnel under the ground, it isn’t too far away …”

He pointed at the red line he drew and looked at the crowd. “That’s why after so long, they are still organized and not in the slightest chaos. It is because the supply of military supplies is not in short supply because we have blocked the pass.”

“Although the distance underground is not too far, it is still a mountain excavation. This project is very big, is it really possible?”

Grand Commandant Li, one of the three officials, asked his own question.

“Lord Grand Commandant, did you forget that the crown prince of Xinyi spent a few years to dig a underground tunnel? Isn’t this a huge project as well?”

Yan Xiao looked at Grand Commandant Li, and continued: “King Carefree has plotted for tens of years, and after dozens of years, it is enough for him to create a secret path. Moreover, the pay of this two hundred thousand strong army is being delivered to us in an endless stream, if it wasn’t through this secret path, I’m afraid someone would have discovered it a long time ago.”

With Yan Xiao’s words, everyone no longer had any doubts.

“It seems like the people in the manor can’t be left alive.”

He originally wanted to keep the people in the manor alive and find a way to deal with the two hundred thousand strong army of overlying water on their bodies. However, he did not expect that he would give them even more time to collect the food and salaries.

Those people were powerful, and since King Carefree was already exposed, there was no need for them to stay there, much to their surprise, they had forgotten about this floor.

“Go find the location of the secret passageway and cut off their grain.”

Yan Shuo ordered with a cold face.

After exiting the palace, Yan Xiao’s heart was not very optimistic. This period of neglected time was enough for them to collect their military pay.

Sure enough, a few days later, news came from the Yizhou. The secret passage to the overlying water had been found, but it had already been blocked off by someone a few days ago.

“How preposterous!”

Yan Shuo felt that as a Kaiser, his face had already been stomped on the ground by his Second Imperial Uncle.

“Sixth and Eighth royal uncle, we order the two of you to personally bring two hundred thousand soldiers to the overlying water. Even if it will be a waste of time, we will exhaust them to death there.”

It could be seen that Yan Shuo was infuriated this time.

King Carefree was not the same King Wei as before, and he was not the same as before either.

If two hundred thousand soldiers really allowed him to leave the overlying water, he might not be easy to deal with.

However, he also knew that even though Second Brother had sufficient pay, if the two hundred thousand strong army continued to stay in overlying water, sooner or later they would be out of food.

Right now, the best course of action was to directly burn that two hundred thousand strong army to death in overlying water.

“The three sides of the overlying water are all terrain that is easy to defend and hard to attack. Only the area near the Turkic …”

In the Prince Rui’s Palace, Yan Xiao looked at the map in front of him and muttered.

“Only on the side that is close to the Turk, the terrain is flat and the defenses are weak. If the army detours around the Turk, they can easily enter the overlying water, but …”

Yan Xiao frowned. Although the Easternum and the Turkic countries had reached an agreement to cultivate for eternity, the two armies of the Easternum would still be able to bypass their territory.

Who knew if the Easternum would use the name of paying off the traitors to easily bring the army into the Turkic territory.

Not to mention the fact that he did not agree to it, even if he wanted to lead his army to go around the Easternum, the Easternum would not agree to it.

But for now, taking a detour was the best way.

Yan Xiao stood in front of his desk for half a day before he started writing a letter to Yan Yuan who was far away from the Turkic border.

When the letter was delivered to Yan Yuan, even if he was more anxious, it would already be half a month later.

“Twisting Turtle …”

Yan Yuan looked at the method that Yan Xiao had suggested, and muttered softly.

Liu Ruo Qing had also read the letter by the side, and upon thinking about the current situation, she frowned.

“From the map, taking a detour is the best way.”

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan, and then looked at the map in front of him, and sighed.

“If it was Sang Ji, maybe it would be possible, but now, with Sang Luo controlling the entire situation, there is simply no room for discussion.”

Moreover, he was the one who saved Sang Ji back then and helped him take back his position of sweat.

Liu Ruo Qing naturally understood this logic. After thinking for a while, she said, “Whether it is possible for us to first find Sang Ji and ask about the situation in front of us right now?”

“I also have the same plan.”
