"First, we need to understand their weaknesses." Dongfang Shenqi analyzed, "Although Jiang Shaohan is brave and good at fighting, he is suspicious and easily trusts the wrong people. And although Du Yunsheng is smart and wise, he is sometimes too kind and easily exploited."

"Then how should we exploit these weaknesses?" Gu Wenhan asked.

"We can start with their internal forces." Du Yuwei smiled sinisterly, "Let conflicts arise among them, thus weakening their strength."

"Yes, we can take advantage of their crisis of trust and gradually disintegrate their alliance." Qiao Qinghan added.

In the following days, Du Yuwei, Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan, Qiao Qinghan and others began to take active actions. They used their respective power to spread rumors everywhere, trying to provoke the relationship between Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng. At the same time, they secretly wooed Jiang Shaohan's subordinates, trying to make them betray Jiang Shaohan and join their alliance.

However, their actions did not escape the ears of Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng. By chance, Jiang Shaohan discovered their conspiracy. He smiled coldly, then turned to Du Yunsheng and said, "It seems that it is time for us to teach them a lesson."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness when she heard this. She nodded gently and said, "Let them know that we are not easy to mess with."

So, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng began to secretly plan a counterattack. They first told the alliance members of Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan and Qiao Qinghan about Du Yuwei's conspiracy, so that they could see Du Yuwei's true face. Then, they took advantage of Du Yuwei's weakness and made her lose trust in the alliance.

Under the counterattack of Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng, the alliance between Du Yuwei and Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan, Qiao Qinghan and others gradually collapsed. They all realized that they were being used by Du Yuwei. So they began to fight back against Du Yuwei, putting her in trouble.

In the process, the alliance between Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng became stronger and stronger. Not only did they successfully resolve internal conflicts, but they also subdued many of their former enemies. Their growing power made other forces in the Western Wei Dynasty feel awed.

In the end, in a fierce decisive battle, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng successfully defeated the alliance of Du Yuwei and Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan, Qiao Qinghan and others.

Zheng Zhuoling walked out of the room and saw Jiang Shaohan standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes like torches, his expression stern, and a strong aura filled the air. Behind him, followed Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan, Qiao Qinghan and others, each of them calm and composed, with a firm look in their eyes.

Zheng Zhuoling took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He knew that no matter what the outcome of today's confrontation was, it would be a turning point in their lives.

"Zheng Zhuoling, do you know that your so-called alliance is nothing but a mob? The loyalty in their hearts is nothing but a temporary safe haven for you. Once the storm comes, they will all scatter." Jiang Shaohan's voice was like a cold wind, making people feel chilled.

Zheng Zhuoling sneered, "Jiang Shaohan, do you think you can defeat me so easily? I tell you, as long as I am still alive, I will not let you succeed."

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense and ready to explode.

At this time, Du Yuwei walked out of the house and looked at Zheng Zhuoling firmly: "Zheng Zhuoling, I will never let you face Jiang Shaohan alone. Even if we fail, I will accompany you."

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes were slightly red. He knew that Du Yuwei was his weakness and also his strength. He gently held Du Yuwei's hand and nodded vigorously.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Gu Wenhan quickly walked to Jiang Shaohan's side and whispered, "Sir, the servants of the Grand Tutor's Mansion have gathered outside the door, and they seem to be ready to resist."

A cold light flashed in Jiang Shaohan's eyes, and he sneered: "Since they want to die, then we will grant their wish."

After saying that, Jiang Shaohan waved his hand and everyone immediately took action.

Outside the door, the servants of the Grand Tutor's Mansion held weapons in their hands and nervously looked at Jiang Shaohan and others who were gradually approaching. There was fear and hesitation in their eyes, and they didn't know whether they should resist.

Dongfang Shenqi stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all loyal servants of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I believe you all have your loyalty in your hearts. But now, you are going to betray your loyalty for the conspiracy of Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei. Is it worth it?"

The servants looked at each other, some with wavering eyes, while others became more determined.

Qiao Qinghan looked at them, his heart filled with disappointment and anger. He knew that this battle would be a bloody massacre.

Suddenly, a violent cough was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Du Yunsheng walking out of the mansion. Her face was pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"All of you retreat." Du Yunsheng said to the servants, "This battle has nothing to do with us. You don't have to die for Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei."

The servants were stunned and looked at Du Yunsheng with confusion and surprise in their eyes.

Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that Du Yunsheng was a true wise man who knew how to keep a clear head and make the most correct choice in the complex political struggle.

Zheng Zhuoling looked at Du Yunsheng, his heart filled with anger and disappointment. He knew that he had lost Du Yunsheng's support and his alliance was now in name only.

At this time, the battle had already started in full swing, with swords flashing and blood flying everywhere. The battle between Jiang Shaohan and Zheng Zhuoling had also entered a white-hot stage.

Jiang Shaohan's eyes were firm, and his moves were as fast as lightning, each of which was full of murderous intent. Zheng Zhuoling was unable to dodge and was defeated step by step. He was filled with anger and unwillingness, and he knew that he had already lost.

Du Yuwei looked at Zheng Zhuoling, her heart filled with pain and helplessness. Her Zheng Zhuoling was no longer the high-spirited young man he used to be.

After the battle, Jiang Shaohan stood on the battlefield full of corpses, looking at Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling, his heart was full of fatigue and powerlessness. He won, but he also lost.

Zheng Zhuoling was embarrassed. He knew the relationship between Du Yuwei and the Crown Prince's Consort Du Yunsheng, as well as her position in the Dongfang family. He knew that if this matter was leaked, it would not only damage the reputation of the Crown Prince Jiang Shaohan, but also cause Du Yunsheng to fall into endless pain.

"Dongfang Qingye, Dongfang Yinxu, I know you are disappointed with Du Yuwei's failure, but you must believe that this thing will definitely succeed. Now, what we need to do is to find a new plan, a plan that can ensure success." Zheng Zhuoling said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Qingye snorted coldly: "It's easy to say, what good ideas do you have? Du Yuwei has already failed, what do we have left?"

A cold light flashed in Zheng Zhuoling's eyes: "We can use Du Yunsheng."
