The successful removal of several minions of the anti-thieves made the attitude of the ministers present towards the prince change greatly.

Although the Imperial Forest Army had moved the chairs to the main hall, none of these ministers dared to sit down, and all their eyes were fixed on Tong Yan.

Lord Wang openly scolded Tong Yan just now, and when he learned that he had misunderstood him, he couldn't help but feel a little upset.

He looked at Tong Yan, and then knelt on the ground with a "plop". "Your Highness, the old minister has no eyes, I don't know if His Highness designed to get rid of the anti-thief minions. The words were disrespectful just now, and I ask Your Highness to punish you! ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly: "This is nothing, in terms of seniority, you are my elder, and in terms of duties, you are the head of the four auxiliary ministers, no matter in which aspect, you are qualified to criticize me." Moreover, he who does not know is not guilty. You don't have to feel guilty about it, and I don't care about any of that. Alright, sit down, y'all. I have some things that I need to tell you to do. ”

Lord Wang didn't expect Tong Yan to value himself so much, so he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and immediately said loudly: "Your Highness, the life of the old minister will be yours in the future." Even if you die, you don't hesitate to do it! ”

Tong Yan smiled and nodded, and then motioned for everyone to sit down.

Only after the ministers sat down a little flattered, Tong Yan opened his mouth and continued: "The anti-thief wants to seek power and usurp the throne, and the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Kingdom are eyeing my Zhao Kingdom. Internal and external troubles, this is the autumn of critical survival. At such a moment, it is quite difficult to reverse the defeat, but I believe that as long as we can work together with the same enemy, we will be able to eliminate the thieves and repel the foreign enemy. The priority now is to deal with the anti-thieves who are about to attack, and although the anti-thieves are outnumbered, they are not united. As far as I know, they were an improvised alliance of several imperial relatives. It may seem like they have common interests, but in reality, they both see each other as rivals. At this time, as long as a slight fire is lit between them, this alliance will definitely be broken. I'm afraid I don't know as much as you about the anti-thieves, so I hope you can give me some advice and tell me what you know about the anti-thieves, so that I can know that I am invincible! ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. As the head of the four auxiliary ministers, Lord Wang was the first to speak: "Your Highness, as you said, the rebel army is indeed composed of the emperor's relatives and relatives temporarily. Among them, the strength of the three princes and the five princesses is the strongest. The third prince is the third brother of the former emperor, with superior military force, and was originally stationed on the frontier. Later, the emperor was worried that he would be king and betray Zhao, so he recalled him from the frontier and arranged him in the city of St. An. Although he gave up his military power, he still had a lot of contacts with people in the rivers and lakes behind his back, and privately trained a secret army. Among the 10,000-strong anti-thief army, only one third prince has 5,000 soldiers and horses. He has long coveted the throne, so he is your worst enemy at the moment. Let's talk about the fifth princess, she is your sister, she has been smart and studious since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by the emperor. only sighs that she is a woman, otherwise, the prince of Zhao State is her. The fifth princess is gentle and generous on the surface, but she is actually ruthless. She raised a group of killers herself, and countless people died at her hands. In addition, she has a very personal relationship with Li Dazhi, the general who defends the city, and the people she leads this time are basically soldiers and horses defending the city, plus the killers under her, her strength should not be underestimated. As for the others, they were all for a little benefit, so they followed behind the third prince and the fifth princess. But the number of rebels is terrifying. ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he asked several other ministers what they knew. In the end, he came to the conclusion that there are many people who want to be emperors, but the only people who are really powerful are the third prince and the fifth princess. And this means that after they successfully capture the palace, there will definitely be another battle between the two, perhaps, they are already secretly competing.

It's really difficult to provoke these two people to fight each other. The more ambitious people are, the more thoughtful they tend to be. It's not easy to deal with such a smart person.

After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to start with the remaining small forces. Although they also want to be emperors, they know in their hearts that compared with the third prince and the fifth princess, they are just small crabs and shrimps. They want not the throne, but benefits.

In this world, no one is at odds with money. The plan that Tong Yan came up with was to buy them off with money, not to ask them to really die for themselves, as long as they could delay the dispatch of troops before they did it, or even watch from the sidelines.

At that time, he will be able to concentrate on dealing with the third prince and the fifth princess.

After the plan was decided, Tong Yan immediately said his plan. Let the ministers who are acquainted with those small forces go, of course, they need to bring rare royal treasures, and be sure to tell them what is at stake.

They must understand that the sandpiper and the clam compete with the fisherman for profit.

Although the imperial city is now besieged, with Wu Saburo's relationship with those thieves, he should have a way to send these ministers who acted as lobbyists out of the palace.

After summoning Wu Saburo, Tong Yan asked the ministers with heavy responsibilities to leave in a hurry with a rare treasure.

After dealing with this, dusk had fallen. Now it's time for the most important part, which is to line up!

If you want to win more with less, you will definitely not be able to do it by brute force. The entire Imperial Forest Army is only more than 600 people, plus the dead soldiers of the general, it is just over 700 people. However, if you add some eunuchs, palace maids, miscellaneous servants, etc., the number of people can also be two thousand.

There are 2,000 people, and the 6,000 people who fight against the third prince and the fifth princess seem to have some expectations.

But in the eyes of these ministers, they were completely deflated. Let some useless eunuchs and palace maids act as guards, a normal person would not do this. What can powerless eunuchs and palace maids do? I couldn't even hold a weapon, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy. Let them be cannon fodder? This is okay, but I am afraid that before the fight, these eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

But Tong Yan disagrees with this, the real strategist is the one who can turn decay into magic. And he came from a treacherous family, and there may not be many people who can compete with him when it comes to fighting.

Half an hour later, all the palace maids and eunuchs were gathered in front of the Jinluan Palace.

Looking at them standing in a disorderly manner, laughing and scolding, Tong Yan still maintained a confident smile. Because he knows that these people will be the key to whether he can turn the tables around.

The rebels are gearing up and ready to try, and the big war is coming! Can Tong Yan win?
