Reborn emperor, the empress calls you to conquer the world together

Zhuge Mo didn't say what he wanted until he left that day.In the end, he was really desperate and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhuge will tell you when he thinks of it."

Qu Liushang was powerless, and he was so wishless, which made her very uneasy.It seems that it is better to find the weakness as soon as possible and take full control of the person.

With the agreement in place, Zhuge Mo finally got down to business.

On the second day, he took his luggage and moved to the east gate of Jinxi City and lived in a tent with the soldiers.

Qu Liushang asked everyone to respectfully call him Zhuge Military Advisor.

At first, the soldiers did not expect much from this extremely handsome young man.For a person who is less than 20 years old, even if he has read a lot of books, what advanced insights can he have about troop formations that require practical experience?

It wasn't until half a month later that they slowly changed their minds.

In the past half month, during the day, Zhuge Mo stood in front of the formation in a white robe and taught the soldiers how to practice the formation. At night, if there was something important, Qu Liushang would summon the generals to the meeting tent to listen to his arrangements.

Just like tonight, after receiving Qu Liushang's approval, Zhuge Mo looked at several lieutenants and generals, including Mao Ge, and said, "We have received a secret report. The imperial court asked Liu He, the commander of the Southwest Capital, to send his only son to the capital. . I think no father would be willing to do this, so he will delay it in every possible way. If we take the initiative to extend an olive branch for cooperation during this gap, the probability of success will be greatly increased."

The influence of Liu He, the commander of the Southwest Capital, in the Southwest Army is no different from the influence of General Yuchi in the Northwest Army. He basically has the final say.There are even rumors that the Southwest Army only knows Liu He but not the new emperor Xuanyuan Jue.

Zhuge Mo's first plan for Qu Liushang was to suggest that she find allies first.Otherwise, if she had a head-on confrontation with Lord Xuanyuan, the situation would be very difficult for her.

After all, they have 32 cities, and she only has one city. Counting the ones snatched from Montan, there are only two larger cities (Anding City is so small that it doesn't count).

Among the allies, the most suitable one at present is the Southwest Army.The terrain there is dangerous, with many steep mountains, vegetation, poisonous insects, etc., and there are many foreign races. It has not been an easy place to control since ancient times.

Even Qu Liushang's grandfather, who was the most proficient in fighting in the Qu family, dared not say that he had completely conquered the place.Over the years, there have been endless battles between the alien races there, and conflicts with the border troops have also occurred from time to time.

Of course, there is another option to contain Lord Xuanyuan, which is to collude with the forces of other countries on the northeastern border and continuously launch wars, causing Lord Xuanyuan to be overwhelmed and unable to take care of himself.As a result, there was no time to notice them, and they had more time to slowly plot their way closer to the city.

However, this proposal was rejected without mercy by Qu Liushang.

She has no bottom line, but... the national interest cannot be compromised.

It's okay to have fun behind closed doors, but she will never do such a thing by joining forces with outsiders to harm her own people.

...

Zhuge Mo paused and continued, "Now we need to recommend a brave and resourceful person to personally lobby the Southwest Army..."

A pair of narrow peach blossom eyes scanned everyone with a panoramic look, "It's just that this person must not only be good at skills, but also be clever. In this way, even if the alliance cannot be negotiated, he can easily escape. Once an emergency situation arises, Able to adapt to changing situations..."

He paused again, but no one volunteered.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm just throwing out the most dangerous situation. In fact, I have a disciple who is serving in the Southwest Army. He will cooperate in secret..."

After saying this, it was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Mao Ge stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Military advisor, the last general is willing to come in person."

Although Qu Liushang didn't say anything, he was a little satisfied that this apprentice was not in vain.

Zhuge Mo also showed an expression of approval, but shook his head slightly, "It's just that after Vice General Mao leaves, the training of the new recruits will be delayed."

At this time, a person stood up from behind Qu Liushang and clasped his fists at Qu Liushang, "Your Highness, if you don't mind, I am willing to go there in person."

This person is none other than Dai Cong, the leader of the Zhongjin Guards.Because he was often sent on missions by Qu Liushang, he has now turned to the bright side and become Qu Liushang's personal bodyguard.

Next, two more generals came forward.

but...

Qu Liushang is not very satisfied.

Either he's not good at martial arts, or he's too straight.She was afraid that she wouldn't be flexible enough after that, and the relationship would collapse.I'm afraid it will be difficult to unite with Liu He by then.

Generally speaking, marriage is the best way to cooperate at this time.

But Qu Liushang didn’t have a daughter, and she was too young if she had one.Liu He has only one son, who is only a few years old.This simply won't work.

After thinking about it, she suddenly stood up and said, "Zhuge, I'd better go! But before that, I have to capture Jinzhao City. You can help me write a recruitment letter as soon as possible and ask Dai Cong to send it to the former prefect Li Que."

It is not difficult to capture the city close to Jinxi City, it just requires someone to cooperate inside and outside.

Zhuge Mo nodded without disagreement, "Okay!"

...

Three days later it was a dark and windy night.

Li Que secretly took the palace guards and some soldiers who were loyal to him to sneak into the prefect's mansion.

He captured the new prefect Dong Shen in his sleep, tied him tightly, gagged his mouth tightly, and locked him in a secret room.Then they got the magistrate's token and imitated his notes and wrote a secret letter, and then moved to the west gate.

After killing some soldiers guarding the city, they obtained the key.

First, organize people to lift the door latch.Then, use the key to open the lock. After mastering the correct insertion method of the key, turn the lock core to open the lock.Finally, push the door open...

Thirty miles outside the city, [-] troops and horses had been living in tents. Under his coordination, they easily entered the city.

Then he killed all the soldiers who refused to surrender near the city gate, and then easily took over the west gate of Jinzhao City.

Leading these [-] troops was Mao Ge.

He did not stop at all after taking over Ximen, leaving [-] men to garrison it.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were divided to take over the other three city gates.Just as Qu Liushang guessed, the soldiers guarding the three gates surrendered without even a struggle when they heard that the new prefect had been captured and the west gate had fallen.

It's not selling one's life to someone, not to mention that they have more affection for the former magistrate Li Que, and they also have relatives and friends in Jinxicheng.From their point of view, they did not want the two cities to belong to two rulers.

So, they followed the current and naturally bent their knees, kneeling in front of Qu Liushang who had just arrived on a white horse, "We swear to be loyal to Her Highness to the death, and are willing to cooperate with Her Highness to drive out the traitors and revitalize the court."

Qu Liushang swept his eyes and knelt in front of him like everyone else, a middle-aged man who had not yet changed out of his night clothes. "Are you the former prefect Li Que?"

The man nodded, "Your Highness, that's right!"

Qu Liushang smiled and said, "Very good. Mr. Li is loyal to our Qu family, and I will not treat him badly. You will be the prefect of Jinzhao City. When His Highness regains the throne one day, Then we’ll discuss rewards for merit.”

...

On the way back, I looked at the dead bodies everywhere.

Qu Liushang lamented that even if he had planned to rebel against Li Que ten days earlier, the casualties of these soldiers could have been avoided.

Now that these people were brought by the new prefect, she could not guarantee their sincerity, so she could only catch them all in one go.
