NOVEL WEB Chapter 217 - Beauty Strategy
Get out… An angry shout came from the Southern Sand Country King's bedchamber.
The guards outside the door were all used to this scene. They smiled ambiguously and automatically went further away.
Their queen was a beautiful princess from South Jin. Ever since she married to Nansha, she had never revealed a smile and never had a good expression towards the king. However, she was truly beautiful, like a celestial immortal descending to the mortal world. All the men in the entire Nansha Kingdom wanted to worship her.
“Queen, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?” The king of the Southern Sand Country had already taken off his underwear, revealing his dark skin and two circles of hair on his chest. County Princess Tangxi looked away in disgust.
She knew that this man's patience was almost gone. Ever since she married him, he had only succeeded a few times. If not for the fact that the other party was really interested in her, she was afraid that she, the queen, would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
However, no matter how interested she was, she could not withstand the passage of time. As she grew older and looked at herself in the mirror every day, she felt that she had aged a little. If this continued, sooner or later she would be thrown out of the palace.
The Southern Sand Country was surrounded by the sea. It was impossible for her to return to South Jin to rely on herself.
She squeezed out a smile with difficulty. “Why is the king in such a hurry? It's still early.”
“Do you know how long I've been holding it in… Furthermore, you promised me that you would give me a beautiful little princess.” The Southern Sand Country King moved closer, his gaze plainly lingered on Tangxi's face and body, not hiding his lust at all.
County Princess Tangxi was one of the top beauties in the South Jin. After arriving at the Southern Sand Region, among a group of dark-skinned, skinny women, her beauty was enough to make men go crazy and suffocate.
She was wearing luxurious silk and was wearing elegant makeup. Her eyes were cold and inviolable, causing the Southern Sand Country's King to almost beg her for everything. She even agreed to send troops to invade the South Jin.
Tangxi knew that she was using an egg to hit a rock, but ever since she learned that her family was destroyed, she had been immersed in hatred every day. As long as she could take revenge, she would be willing to go to the mountain of blades and cook a pot of oil, let alone submit to an ugly man.
Very soon, the sound of discordant slapping could be heard from the sleeping hall. There was also the woman's suppressed and resentful moans that lasted for a whole half a day.
Crown Prince Zhao was not surprised when he received Fu Heng's letter. Fu Heng was a man of courage and intelligence. To put it bluntly, he had four limbs and a simple mind.
“Your Highness, do you want to help General Fu think of a countermeasure?” Tang Yue read the letter twice from beginning to end. He found that the other party's tone was sincere with a trace of fear. He must have sent the letter here because he was at his wit's end.
Crown Prince Zhao thought for a while and explained, “Fu Heng is not considered a great talent. Back then, he was promoted because of his meritorious work in eliminating the bandits. These years, he has been conscientiously and conscientiously doing some small things. His character is still considered advanced, and he is steady and reliable. He is worth helping.”
There was one more thing that Crown Prince Zhao did not say. Fu Heng was considered a neutral faction. He had never participated in the open and dark struggles of the Imperial Court. He could be considered a man of clear water. Crown Prince Zhao would always be able to help such a person.
“How can I help him? Have you thought of a solution?”
The corner of Crown Prince Zhao's mouth curled up slightly. He glanced at Tang Yue with a mysterious smile that made people's hearts tremble.
Tang Yue could not help but move closer to him. He blinked and said, “I can tell from your expression that you are so confident. Don't tell me you already have an answer? Then why didn't you remind General Fu before?”
Crown Prince Zhao put his arm around his waist and the two of them fell on the soft couch. “How can a person grow without experiencing setbacks? Nan Sha has never been a great threat to me. It won't matter even if I let them jump around for a few days.”
Tang Yue put his hand under his armpits and pretended to be ticklish. He warned, “Hurry up and say it, otherwise… hmph!”
It was rare for Crown Prince to be as strong as an iron wall. He still had such a small weakness. Tang Yue had made full use of it.
Crown Prince Zhao held his hand and raised his eyebrows. He did not keep him in suspense. “That Nan Sha dares to attack us. It must be because of Tangxi. A woman's war should naturally be stopped by a woman.”
“You also want to send people to assassinate Tangxi?” Tang Yue felt that this was not a good idea. If the Southern Sand Country was on the island, it would be difficult for the assassins to go ashore.
“You think I am stupid?” Tang Yue asked. Crown Prince Zhao held his palm and smiled. “That Southern Sand Country King is very beautiful, but the women in the Southern Sand Country are not very beautiful. There is only Tangxi in front of him, so naturally he is very precious. But our South Jin does not lack beauties. As long as there are more beauties, how can he be bothered to listen to Tangxi's provocation?”
Tang Yue stared at Crown Prince Zhao with a new look and secretly shook his head. “This man is really bad when he is bad. This is clearly trying to make Tangxi's life difficult.”
Poor woman. She was in a foreign land. Her family had been wiped out. She could only rely on one thing. If she could not even rely on this man, then her remaining life could be imagined.
However, Tang Yue did not sympathize with her. She could even disregard the lives of the common people and start a war. Death deserved more than crimes!
“How is your husband's wonderful plan?” Crown Prince Zhao asked with a smile.
Tang Yue nodded and gave him a thumbs up. “Once the beauty scheme is used, we can totally get rid of the root of the problem!”
“Get rid of the root of the problem? This word is very well used!”
“Does His Highness know any of the thirty-six strategies?” Tang Yue asked. This was not any dynasty in ancient China. It was just like the ancient times in history. Tang Yue did not know what military books there were.
“What do you mean by thirty-six?” Crown Prince Zhao asked in surprise.
Tang Yue quickly got up from his arms and walked to the table. He took out a pen and wrote down the thirty-six. A simple case followed.
He had taken a war theory course in university. Although he could not remember many of them, he still remembered the famous classics of the 36 strategies.
Crown Prince Zhao stood beside him and watched him write down simple and practical strategies. His eyes lit up.
He knew a lot of these strategies and had used them before, but he had never concluded them like Tang Yue did. If he could pass them down, he would definitely be able to train more outstanding generals.
After Tang Yue finished writing, he handed the paper to Crown Prince Zhao. “Look, you are going to use a beauty tactic to confuse General Fu this time. You are going to use a beauty to confuse his mind, making him neglect his guard, and change his original intention. It can also extend to attacking his opponent with sugar-coated cannonballs, defeating him mentally, and then using a military strategy. It can be considered a good and cost-efficient method.”
Crown Prince Zhao praised. “Indeed. We have sent many beauties to North Yue every year. Among them, there is no lack of skilled interns. Their achievements may be higher than planting a confidant.”
Crown Prince Zhao read the content carefully and nodded from time to time. He felt that the person who could summarize these military strategies was truly a military genius.
“Is this knowledge from more than a thousand years later?”
Tang Yue shook his head. “No. This was written by a person a long time ago. It can be considered the most classic military book. It has a deep meaning. I didn't expect this to not appear in this era.”
Crown Prince Zhao was a little surprised when he heard that it was written by an ancient person. “Just like you said. Perhaps this world is not your original world. The difference in history is also natural. There was a military book in the history of South Jin, but I didn't think it was as easy to understand as the 36 strategies.”
Crown Prince Zhao took out a piece of paper and wrote down his plan briefly. Then he sealed it with wax and asked someone to give it to General Fu Heng quickly.
This was the best he could do. If the other party could not grasp the opportunity, it could only mean that the other party's son could not be taught. It was better to change the person as soon as possible.
Tang Yue packed up his brush and ink and burned the letter sent by Fu Heng. He asked casually: “Is there still no news from the west?”
Crown Prince Zhao shook his head. “It's not easy to assassinate King of Qi, especially during this war. King of Qi will definitely send more experts to protect him. Without seventy percent certainty, the dead will not attack.”
“From the urgent report sent yesterday, King of Qi and the Yue Yi Clan have already occupied a city. Their next target should be Qinyang City, right?”
“Qinyang City is a major city in the southwest, which is also the only path they can take. Therefore, they must stop here. Otherwise, they will easily meet up with the North Yue after passing through the Qinyang City smoothly.”
Tang Yue frowned slightly. Crown Prince Zhao touched his cheek and comforted him. “Don't worry too much. It is not easy to conquer the Qinyang City. Have you forgotten? The city lord was a man of his own. With Wang Dingjun leading his men to help, it should not be a problem for him to defend the city.”
Tang Yue shook his head, “I'm just sighing with emotion. I don't know how many people will die in this battle. I'm afraid that the population that has increased with great difficulty these past few years will decline again.”
Tang Yue sighed in his heart. In the 21st century, the country had been worrying about having too many people every day. He never thought that he would be worried about having too few people here. It was truly fate that made people worry.
“Before the world is unified, war can't be avoided. Only by becoming one can we have a long period of peace and rest.”
Tang Yue did not comment on it, but he knew that the world must be united for a long time. This was the general trend. Therefore, Crown Prince Zhao's words could not be counted as right or wrong.
However, it didn't matter whether it was right or wrong. He only knew that he was standing beside this man. He would do whatever he wanted to do to help.
At this moment, he really wanted to see the world unify. It would be best if he didn't have to see war in his lifetime.
“Don't think so much. Today, I ordered the kitchen to make the dumplings that you love to eat. Go and try the taste that you love the most.” Crown Prince Zhao held Tang Yue's hand and led him out of the study.
