"Your Highness, what Mr. Wang said is true. If the mountain roads were not rugged and steep, and there were a lot of mosquitoes and poisonous insects in the summer, making it impossible for the army to pass through, and unable to march in the winter, then the small country of Annan would have attacked my Guizhou mansion long ago!"
The official of Guizhou Prefecture said in a deep voice.
"Alas! After all, this season is the most suitable. As long as His Royal Highness sends troops at this time and captures Yunnan Mansion quickly and with lightning speed, the war will be over!"
Someone else said.
"His Royal Highness is good at fighting. If you understand the terrain of Yunnan Mansion, you will definitely know that this move is the best!"
There is humanity again.
These people were all urging Lin Fan to send troops immediately to recapture Yunnan Mansion. The more this happened, the more Lin Fan felt that there was something fishy in this.
He did not answer, but looked at Wang Siliang. Wang Siliang frowned slightly. He found that he could not see through the prince in front of him.
"Ahem! Your Highness, these are just the superficial insights of ordinary people like us. If Your Highness has any unique insights, you can share them with me."
Wang Siliang coughed twice and said with a smile.
"I think what you said is very good. If it weren't for the fact that my army didn't have enough cotton clothes, I wouldn't have stationed in Sizhou Prefecture for repairs, but would have gone straight to Yunnan Prefecture!"
"Alas! This matter makes me very embarrassed. You know, the people of our Ming Dynasty are suffering. If I collect cotton-padded clothes when I am in the capital, the price of cotton-padded clothes will inevitably rise sharply. What will the people do then?"
"Therefore, when you are searching for cotton-padded clothes, you must be careful not to indirectly cause the price of cotton-padded clothes to rise!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
When Wang Siliang saw the embarrassed look on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart. If Lin Fan acted decisively, he would still find him difficult to deal with.
However, he was timid in doing things, just like His Majesty Chongzhen, who wanted the world but was not ruthless enough. I really don’t know how he defeated Li Zicheng and how he repelled Jiannu!
"Haha! What His Highness the Crown Prince said is that both His Majesty and you are people-oriented and are role models for us. We should all learn from His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Siliang said with a smile.
"Well, you must remember this."
Lin Fan warned again.
After eating, Lin Fan returned to the station with a thousand Xuanjia troops.
Back at the barracks, Zhu Cijiong asked: "Brother, why did you tell them so much just now?"
"Haha! Third brother, didn't you see something?"
Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"What do you see?"
Zhu Cijiong looked confused.
"Those people say that this season is the best time to capture Yunnan Province, but they also say that the small country of Annan is blocked by mountains, rivers, and mosquitoes. Don't they know that they can attack at this season?"
"If my guess is correct, they have had an affair with the small country of Annan for a long time. If I listen to them, there is a high probability that I will encounter an ambush and suffer heavy losses!"
"In this case, it's better to use a trick and let these people help me collect cotton-padded clothes, but they can't collect them within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In order for me to quickly attack Yunnan Province, they will definitely ask for them from the small country of Annan!"
"When the time comes, they won't have winter clothes, but we will. Isn't it wonderful?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Brother, I didn't expect you to take all of this into account!"
Zhu Cijiong said with a smile.
Lin Fan touched Zhu Cijiong's head and led him in. At this time, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were eating broth and steamed buns!
In the Zuiyang Tower.
"Master Wang, what do you think the prince means?"
One person looked at Wang Siliang and asked.
"Haha! What else could it mean? Naturally, he wants to trick us and let us collect cotton-padded clothes for him. We can't raise the price of cotton-padded clothes in the Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Siliang said coldly.
"This! How is this possible! Those businessmen are not doing charity. They want to make money, so how could they not raise the price!"
One person said.
"You are right, from this I can see that this prince no longer has the talent he used to have!"
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"kindness?
Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"
one person asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to have no worries. When fighting against intruders and slaves, he was not timid. He killed all the way and made the enemies abandon their armor!"
"But it can't be done now. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, oversees the country and must be timid in doing things. Just like now, he needs cotton-padded clothes but cannot harm the interests of the people!"
"I estimate that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to war with Annan, the losses of the soldiers will have to be calculated. Haha! How can we win in this way?"
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Mr. Wang's analysis is that if Annan Kingdom can win a big victory in this battle, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's majesty will be greatly damaged, and we can also take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
One person said with a smile.
Wang Siliang glared at him and said: "The matter is not settled yet, so don't talk too much!"
"Yes! Mr. Wang taught you a lesson in time, so how can we collect enough cotton clothes for His Highness the Crown Prince?
Looking at his posture, if the cotton-padded clothes are not enough, he will not leave Guizhou Prefecture in a short time!"
The man said again.
"Hmph! If he wants cotton-padded clothes, let's just give them to him. We can't buy those from the Ming Dynasty, so why not those from the Annan Kingdom?
Isn’t the one from Yunnan Prefecture good enough?”
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"Yes! What Mr. Wang means... is a good idea! In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince will still believe that we have weakened the national power of Annan Kingdom!"
One person said with a smile.
"Hmph! What he doesn't know is that these cotton-padded clothes are just for him to wear. When he enters Yunnan Prefecture, not only the cotton-padded clothes, but also the soldiers will be killed!"
Wang Siliang said proudly.
Then, he sent people to contact the people in Annan Kingdom.
The capital of Annan!
"Your Majesty, Wang Siliang, the governor of Guizhou Prefecture, sent a message via pigeon, saying that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty has led troops to Guizhou Prefecture, but he will not fight us in the short term!"
Prime Minister Annan said in a deep voice.
After hearing what Fu Dekai said, Moore Hong said in a deep voice: "This Pei Nanjin is a waste after all. I asked him to go to peace talks. Is this the result of his peace talks?"
"It was 100,000 before, but now we have brought another 100,000! Haha! Our Annan Kingdom does not have a total of 200,000 troops!"
After hearing this, Fu Dekai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. Although Lin Fan has 200,000 troops, he does not have enough cotton-padded clothes!"
"Winter is a very troublesome thing. The most important thing is that we have Wang Siliang as an internal agent, so we can know the movements of his army. The mountain roads in Yunnan are rugged, and we can also prepare an ambush in advance. It is not very difficult to kill 100,000 people and 200,000 people.
difficulty!"
"Oh! So you have already thought of a countermeasure?"
Moore Hong looked at Fu Dekai.
Fu Dekai said with a smile: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have really thought of a countermeasure!"
