Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 373 Seize power!

Song Yuan left the crowd and walked towards the edge of the military camp.

I finally found some peace and quiet in an open space.

He shook his head to clear his mind, then used the snow at hand to build a simple sandbox in front of him.

The sand table looks like a city, and in Song Yuan's eyes, it is the representative of the border town today.

He looked at the sand table and silently planned and made various arrangements in his mind. One move affected the whole body, and the originally still sand table seemed to have changed a little at this moment.

If I choose to break out from the south gate, the barbarian army at the north gate will definitely take this opportunity to catch up quickly!

But if he chose the north gate, he would run into a large army of barbarians. In this case, even if his men could break through successfully.

The number of casualties is probably an astronomical figure!

Moreover, among these tens of thousands of troops, there are also several thousand infantrymen.

If we really choose to confront them head-on, these people will definitely be abandoned!

Without war horses, they had no way of escaping the encirclement of the barbarians. In the end, the cavalry might be able to maintain a glimmer of hope, but these infantrymen would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit and interception of the barbarians' cavalry!

It's a dead end!

As a result, Song Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Judging from the current situation, fighting head-on may not be a good thing, and running away blindly may end up being more trouble than gain.

What if you choose to defend?

Not to mention the problem of food and grass, the barbarians' catapults alone are definitely a big trouble in Song Yuan's eyes!

Such a deadly weapon, once it is used on the battlefield.

The barbarians can cause considerable casualties to the people in the city from a long distance!

Song Yuan lacked powerful weapons like siege crossbows, so he could only watch the other side throwing boulders.

Faced with losses, I can't do anything to resist!

After the initial consumption, if the barbarians choose to attack the city again, they will be extremely exhausted and the probability of them being able to defend the city is basically zero!

If everyone fights hard, perhaps they can defend the city to the end.

But how many of these tens of thousands of troops can survive in the end?

Thinking of this, Song Yuan secretly clenched his fists and had already made up his mind.

If you want to break out, there is only one way!

As the saying goes, when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave prevails. At this juncture, I have no choice!

Breaking through has become an urgent matter.

More importantly, it is best to take action within three days!

Otherwise, after three days, when the barbarians have powerful weapons like catapults, it will be extremely difficult to break through!

Faced with such a predicament, Song Yuan felt dizzy and couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples.

A sigh of mourning in my heart.

That bastard named Wei really created a big problem for himself this time!

Why didn’t I see how powerful this guy was when I faced the barbarians?

Now he's plotting against his own people. This guy is really capable!

For a moment, Song Yuan was piled in the snow, looking at the sand table in front of him, hoping to find the key to breaking the deadlock.

In the ice and snow, Song Yuan seemed to have merged into his own little world.

He didn't even notice that not far behind him, Situ Jingzheng was staring at Song Yuan with wide eyes.

There was clearly some concern in his eyes, but he did not disturb her at such a critical moment!

Compared to his previous stubbornness, as the two of them got along with each other, Situ Jing had gained some understanding of Song Yuansheng.

At this moment, Situ Jing knew in her heart that if she moved forward, she would accomplish nothing. On the contrary, it would only make Song Yuan upset.

Instead of disturbing the other person's thoughts, it is better to just wait and quietly accompany the man in front of you!

After a while, Ben Nian also came to Situ Jing's side, holding millet porridge and dried meat in his hands.

As the women beside Song Yuan, the two of them are now performing more competently!

"Oh..." It wasn't until Song Yuan sighed that the two women looked at each other.

This year, holding millet porridge, he immediately came forward and said: "Eat something first, only when you are full will you have the energy to think of a solution!"

Faced with such concern, Song Yuan did not refuse and subconsciously took the bowl handed to him this year.

However, Song Yuan's gaze did not shift at all, and he kept looking at the simple sand table in front of him from beginning to end.

As the pillar of the city, Song Yuan did not dare to relax even during meal time. In his eyes, he was a prince and a general.

Naturally, it is necessary to lead everyone to escape the current predicament!

Seeing Song Yuan looking so serious, both Ben and Situ Jing couldn't help but feel a bit heavy in their eyes.

They accompanied Song Yuan all the way from the Imperial City, but it was the first time they saw Song Yuan with such a solemn expression.

Even when facing crazy barbarians before, Song Yuan always looked confident, which was not difficult to see from the details in front of him.

Today, everyone is facing an unprecedented crisis!

It was so dangerous that even a resourceful character like Song Yuan was deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

Thinking of these two people, the same question popped up in my mind.

Can I really survive to the end this time?

Although the two were nervous, they did not make any noise to disturb them.

At times like this, silence is the best help, so the two of them stood beside Song Yuan and waited silently.

Until the end, Song Yuan suddenly exploded, stood up suddenly, looked like a madman, raised his right foot, and kicked the sand table in front of him into pieces!

"Are you OK?"

Seeing Song Yuan in such a state of mind, Situ Jing immediately showed some concern and wanted to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuanquan suddenly waved at Jinlian, and when the other party came closer, he handed the empty bowl to the other party!

Then he turned to look at Situ Jing, his eyes clearly filled with a bit of coldness: "Let's go back to the meeting room!"

Having said that, he took the lead and walked away without waiting for Situ Jing's response.

Could it be that this guy has figured out some solution?

Looking at Song Yuan's receding back, Situ Jing's eyes lit up and she suddenly became energetic.

I hurriedly followed him, and after a while, I arrived outside the meeting room.

"Have you thought of something?" Situ Jing stopped Song Yuan and asked anxiously.

But Song Yuan shook his head: "How can a solution be so simple to come up with? At least for now, I don't have a reliable arrangement!"

"Then why did you come back so suddenly?"

"It's difficult to escape, but I suddenly thought of a possibility. Maybe I can bite a piece of meat off the barbarian!"

What do you mean?

Hearing Song Yuan say this, Situ Jing's pupils suddenly showed a bit of confusion.

To be honest, isn't it more difficult to make the barbarians pay the price than to escape from trouble?

Song Yuan clearly couldn't escape, so how could he let the barbarians suffer in vain?

If this matter is not handled properly, in the end, not only will you not be able to chew off a piece of meat, you might even break your teeth!

"What's going on?" With some curiosity, Situ asked immediately.

But Song Yuan shook his head and turned to walk into the conference room.

Looking at Song Yuan's back, Situ Jing couldn't help but stamp her feet anxiously.

After being together for so long, how could he not see it?

Song Yuan's ideas have always been wild and imaginative, and it is impossible for others to guess them!

If this guy doesn't say anything, there's no point asking him again. Now, I can only follow him and see when he will tell the truth.

Just as Situ Jing was secretly complaining in her heart, she saw Song Yuan had already walked into the conference room and appeared in everyone's sight.

When they noticed Song Yuan's figure, everyone looked up, but seeing Song Yuan's bitter and resentful look, they finally shook their heads.

It seems that even the prince has not thought of a way to break the deadlock?

Murong Lie sat upright at the head of the table, and the expectation in his eyes suddenly dissipated.

However, he didn't expect that before he could lower his head again, Song Yuan had already come straight to Murong Lie.

"General Murong, would you please get up for a moment?"

What does this guy mean by saying this at this juncture?

Faced with Song Yuan's unquestionable tone, Murong Lie suddenly felt a little alert.

According to the previous imperial edict, Song Yuan has the highest command authority in the matter of retaking the three border cities!

This was the exact reason why Murong Lie obeyed his arrangements before.

But now, the situation has changed a bit, and retaking the three border cities has become a luxury.

Without the support of the imperial edict, Song Yuan's absolute status collapsed.

Murong Lie then sat back in the main seat, replacing General Wei and acting as the backbone of the group!

And now, Song Yuan actually asked Murong Lie to stand up.

A bold idea then popped up in Murong Lie's mind.

Could it be that this prince in front of me is trying to seize power?

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do?" Murong Lie asked in a low voice with a bit of confusion and coldness.

Song Yuanquan looked at the other party with burning eyes and responded directly.

"Whatever you want to understand, I just need the position you have now!"

"You can say I'm trying to seize power. Of course, if you have a way to break the impasse, it's not impossible for me to listen to you!"

In Song Yuan's opinion, things have come to this point, so there is naturally no need to pretend anymore.

Mr. Leng was no longer around, so everything he said next lost its original disguise.

Instead of spending time and effort hiding it from everyone, it’s better to just reveal the truth!

First take control of the command so that it will be convenient for your subsequent plans.

"Your Highness, hearing what you said, have you thought of any way to break the deadlock?" Seeing Song Yuan's aggressive attitude, Murong Lie frowned and asked.

Combining what he had seen before, Murong Lie had already formed a guess in his mind.

However, he still felt a little reluctant to give up his position without saying a word.

"No!" Facing Murong Lie's vigilant gaze, Song Yuan did not hide anything and shook his head lightly.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said directly: "It's not easy to break through successfully. I haven't thought of a solution yet!"

"But I do have an idea. If used properly, I might be able to inflict a heavy loss on the barbarians and wipe out some of their troops!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was in an uproar.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Song Yuan.

What exactly is Song Yuan thinking?

Now that we are surrounded, how can we make the barbarians pay the price?

Murong Lie pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Your Majesty, I understand that you want to take my seat. Honestly, it's not difficult to get me to give up my position. As a prince, you have enough status!"

"But if you want everyone to listen to you, you have to at least show some ability, right?"

"Your Majesty, before anything else, could you please demonstrate your abilities first and convince everyone?"

Murong Lie has chosen to compromise at this moment. In his opinion, even if Song Yuan seizes power, it is nothing wrong at this moment.

At least compared to the traitor General Wei, Song Yuan's current choice can be seen as a courageous act of responsibility!

Noticing Murong Lie's doubt, Song Yuan nodded without any hesitation!

"If you want to see my abilities, now is the best opportunity!"

"Then, Your Highness, could you please explain clearly what you mean by making the barbarians pay the price?"

"The meaning is very simple, only four words!"

Facing everyone's concerned gazes, Song Yuan's eyes turned cold and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Self-destruction of the Great Wall!"
