Chapter 257: Seizing Power 11

    

Father, can the princess tell me where Father is" Gu Li heard that her father had written to the princess, and she hurriedly asked. Her anxious tone made Feng Ling Xi hand over the letter in her hand...Feng Lingxi looked at General Zhang, her expression complex.

General Zhang, seeing this, hurriedly knelt and explained, "Your Highness, forgive me. This general only wanted to understand your intentions. The lives of 200,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians in Linxi County are all in your hands. I know it's difficult for a woman like you to lead our army, but right now, besides Your Highness, I truly don't know who else has the ability to command these 200,000 troops."

Feng Lingxi stepped forward and helped him up, “General Zhang, get up. I understand what you mean. Even if you didn’t say it, I had plans too. But the current situation is that no matter who we deal with, we will be at a disadvantage. The only thing we can do is to defend and wait for an opportunity.”

"Your Highness, this lowly soldier dares to ask, if we cannot hold it, should we still fight"

Feng Lingxi's eyes were resolute. "We can hold out. Given the current situation, Gallo Kingdom and Dugu Xiu will absolutely not join forces. As long as they don't team up, we have a chance to catch our breath. The Gallo Kingdom isn't foolish; they won't start a war with us. No one wants what they've built to be snatched away by someone else in the end, so Dugu Xiu is the one who should be worried, not us."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and comforted General Zhang, "Don't forget, although we only have 200,000 troops here, we still have the reinforcements from the King. He will definitely return. With both internal and external support, both Gallo Kingdom and Dugu Xiu's situation will be difficult. Perhaps the army will just withdraw like this."

General Zhang nodded, "The princess is right. However, Your Highness, we cannot rule out the possibility that Galo Kingdom and Dugu Xiu will put aside their differences and join forces to eliminate us first."

"If so, then implement the second plan."

Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold as she spread out the map, circling several points on it. Then, she shared her plan with General Zhang. After hearing her, General Zhang looked at her in disbelief. "Your Highness is indeed a female hero. This general admires you and is willing to follow you to the death."

Wind Ling hurriedly helped General Zhang up, “General Zhang, you continue to keep watch. Report anything immediately.”

"The last general will obey."

Feng Lingxi, seeing that it was getting late, returned to the city.

On the hillside eighty miles away, Dugu Xiu and Feng Aotian discussed how to attack Linxi County. All the plans were rejected by Feng Aotian. Dugu Xiu's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "General Feng, what do you mean Could it be that you still want to protect Feng Lingxi"

Feng Aotians face also sank, looking at Dugu Xiu's arrogant appearance, his old face darkened, "Sixth Royal Highness, if you think this general has not handled it properly, Sixth Royal Highness feel free to send troops. This Linxi County is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if only Feng Lingxi leads 200,000 troops to defend there, it would not be easy to take down. Not to mention, the Galo army is stationed thirty miles in front of us. Sixth Royal Highness, don't forget that the Galo nation is eyeing us hungrily. Once we make a move, the Galo nation will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack us..."

"Just a Gallo Kingdom scared you like this This king will now order the destruction of the Gallo Kingdom, and then attack Linxi County. I want to see how capable this Gallo Kingdom truly is."

Feng Aotien knelt on one knee, “Sixth Prince, you absolutely cannot, Gallo Kingdom and we fought before, last time we barely won, we can’t fight Gallo Kingdom again…”

Feng Aotian, you shut your mouth for me! The military power of the Great Yuan Dynasty is in my hands. I say to attack, we attack. Pass down my order: in half an hour, attack the Galuo army, encircling them from both sides and catching them off guard.

"Sixth Prince, absolutely not…"

Before Feng Aotian could finish his words, he was rebuked by Dugu Xiu, "Feng Aotian, if you dare to say another word out of line, this king will punish you for disobeying military orders."

"Sixth Prince, General Feng is also a loving father. Fourth Princess is his daughter after all. Considering his loyalty to the country, perhaps you should spare her this time."

The general beside Feng Jiangjun hurriedly pleaded for Feng Aotian. As soon as these words were spoken, it further enraged Dugu Xiu, who glared at Feng Aotian, "You just stay here and guard me, I want you to see with your own eyes how I personally destroy the kingdom of Garlo."

"Sixth Royal Master..."

Feng Aotien was still about to say something, but his lieutenant hurriedly pulled him and shook his head at him, signaling him to stop talking.

Dugu Xiu glanced coldly at Feng Aotian, then swept his sleeves and left.

"With the Sixth Prince acting so impulsively, how could he possibly be a match for the Gallo Kingdom Last time we only barely won. This time around, we might not even stand a chance against them."

Feng Ao's fist clenched in anger at the weather, he really didn't know how to tell Sixth Prince, how this impulsiveness could win.

"General, the Sixth Prince's actions are actually quite good. The Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess have some breathing room now, maybe even a chance to survive. When the time comes, they can fight their way back to the palace and reclaim the throne." The deputy general whispered. Feng Aotian glanced at him and let out a sigh.

Xi'er, Father can only do so much for you. You must take care of yourself from now on.

In the military camp nestled in the valley, Feng Lingxi and General Zhang were discussing the locations of grain reserves for both Gallo Kingdom and Dugu Xiu. Sun, the deputy general, rushed in, "Your Highness, General Zhang, a scout has reported that Dugu Xiu has led his troops to attack the Gallo Kingdom's main army, and the two sides have already engaged in battle."

"Fighting"

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to meet General Zhang's gaze. Seeing the same incredulous look in his eyes, she frowned and asked, "Do you know what happened"

"How could these Six Princes willingly attack the Galo Kingdom This doesn't make any sense, does it"

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing General Zhang's words, agreed. "Since he wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, he won't make a move. Isn't this helping us"

"Your Highness, it was the Sixth Prince who led his troops. Scouts say they did not see General Feng arrive. Perhaps General Feng and the Sixth Prince had a falling out."

Feng Lingxi frowned. If it were true that his father and Dugu Xiu had a falling out, it was possible that Dugu Xiu, enraged, would go to war with the Galo Kingdom. However, Dugu Xiu has reached this point now, how could he be foolish enough to start a war

"Your Highness, the night guard is back."

Xiaoli ran in happily, followed by Ye Xi who was covered in dust and wind. Seeing Feng Lingxi, Ye Xi immediately bowed. Feng Lingxi quickened her pace and glanced outside, "Where's the king Did he return with you"

Night Xi saw the Queen's worried eyes and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Queen, Your Highness is still behind. I rushed back first on horseback. Queen, you have suffered these days. Your Highness and the army will arrive soon."

"Not bitter, Your Highness, how are you"

Ye Xi nodded, looking at the map on the table, and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, the King ordered that we only defend, not attack, and try our best to hold out until he returns to fight."

"It's fine, as long as he's alright. Our crisis here has been resolved. Gallo and Dugu Xiu are fighting each other, so we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Ye Xi's face was filled with surprise, looking at the smile on the queen's face, "How could Dugu Xiu fight against Gallo What is he thinking"g Xi'er know where her roots were, even if they didn't recognize each other, telling them was the right thing to do.The Lu family is in Xigu."Western Antiquity"Dugu Cheng looked at Lu Hao in astonishm...
