Chapter 1572

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao was wearing a black dragon robe, her face noble. Shangguan Wan'er stood to one side, and the two were staring at Gao Yang's position.

"Subject Gao Yang, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang bowed respectfully.

"Prime Minister Gao, I heard that you went to the Ministry of Justice and requested three hundred death row prisoners. Could it be that my tens of thousands of elite troops are not as good as three hundred death row prisoners?" Wu Zhao asked curiously.

Gao Yang shook his head, "Your Majesty, that is not so!"

"This subject has a miraculous use for these three hundred death row prisoners."

"Oh?" Wu Zhao looked curious.

As he spoke, Gao Yang explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were both dumbfounded.

Death row prisoners... used this way?

Shangguan Wan'er's red lips parted slightly, and the look she gave Gao Yang was filled with, "Why didn't you say so before?" It made her so nervous, thinking there wasn't a single trump card left.

Gao Yang returned a look that said, "You didn't ask either."

After a long while, Wu Zhao said, "Prime Minister Gao is thoughtful. If I were to use my Da Qian elite troops as a suicide squad, it would make my heart ache. Using these death row prisoners who are already guilty of heinous crimes is much easier to accept."

Gao Yang bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise; this subject thought the same."

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

For some reason, although Gao Yang's face had not changed in the slightest, Wu Zhao suddenly felt a sense of strangeness.

Gao Yang had become much more serious, and even that pair of eyes that usually looked at her legs or her breasts with a lecherous gaze no longer wandered around.

An illusion?

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes tightened.

The Xiongnu's four gifts were indeed too much; it was not strange that Gao Yang had such a change.

Soon, Wu Zhao composed herself. She placed high hopes on Gao Yang, thinking of her own royal hegemony and the eternal prosperity of Da Qian!

The alliance of Chu, Qi, and Yan, secretly supporting the Xiongnu, was nothing more than to exhaust Da Qian's national strength!

If Da Qian wants to achieve hegemony, the Xiongnu is a hurdle that must be overcome!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao said with a hint of nervousness, "Lord Gao, I summoned you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

"The Xiongnu people have long lived in the deserts and grasslands and often migrate, making their whereabouts extremely difficult to find. My Da Qian elite troops have stirrups and breaking crossbows. Even with the support of the three kingdoms behind them, I do not fear a head-on battle."

"But the problem is, how to search for the Xiongnu and deal them a certain blow, one that can make the Xiongnu Great Chanyu feel the pain, avenge the County Magistrate, and also raise the national prestige of Da Qian?"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes locked onto Gao Yang's handsome face.

This problem had troubled her for a long time.

"What Your Majesty worries about, this subject has already thought through."

"This is nothing more than a question of where to strike!"

"Does Your Majesty have a map?"

Gao Yang asked.

Wu Zhao waved her hand and said, "Someone, bring the map."

"Yes!"
