"Now, let's go!"
King Zhennan gave an order, and 200,000 troops surged out of the camp like a flood, rolling up smoke and dust, like a long dragon of people, rushing toward the Shanyin Pass on the border.
And at the front of the team, someone was holding a large flag fluttering in the wind, with three characters written on it: King of Zhennan!
…
The fourth prince's residence.
The fourth prince stood with his hands behind his back, and below him, a subordinate was reporting: "Your Highness, an army of 200,000 has set off from the outskirts of Yaohai City and headed for Shanyin Pass."
The fourth prince turned around and sneered: "An army of two hundred thousand is of no use! The coalition forces of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom number in the millions, and an army of two hundred thousand is just their appetizer."
vegetable!"
"Your Highness, but what if they ask King Zhennan to come back and lead the army again?"
A close aide asked, to be honest, the image of King Zhennan as the God of War is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the millions of troops from Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom are afraid of anything, it can only be fear of King Zhennan.
Already.
"That can't happen."
The fourth prince sneered, "There have been rumors for a long time. It is rumored that King Zhennan has been staying in seclusion for the past few years and is actually ill. A while ago, I sent people to investigate the clues and found that most of them are true. King Zhennan is really
If you are sick, you cannot go out to lead the troops in the war."
However, at the moment when the fourth prince finished speaking, one of his subordinates hurried in.
"To report to Your Highness, the news I just received is that the King of Zhennan came out of the mountain again and led an army of 200,000 people towards Shanyin Pass!"
"What?"
The fourth prince's expression changed, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "How is that possible? King Zhennan is sick and it is impossible for him to lead the troops to fight!"
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. The King of Zhennan really came out, and an army of 200,000 people attacked Zhennan.
The king’s banner. And from the looks of King Zhennan, he doesn’t look like he’s sick.”
His subordinates kept complaining.
The fourth prince's face was uncertain. After a long time, he snorted coldly and said: "It seems that there is really no one left in Yaohai Kingdom. King Zhennan even forced himself out of the mountain despite being sick. He deliberately pretended not to be sick.
, I guess I don’t want to disturb the morale of the military.”
After saying that, the fourth prince waved his hand and said, "That's all. King Zhennan comes out of the mountain even though he is sick. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Then, the fourth prince's eyes sparkled again, and he continued, "What's more, even in the heyday of King Zhennan, he definitely did not have the ability to fight an army of two hundred thousand against an army of one million! So, whether there is King Zhennan,
The result is the same!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, you are about to get what you want."
His subordinates congratulated him one after another.
"When King Zhennan and the so-called 200,000 troops are completely defeated by the troops of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom, my father will naturally realize that making the eldest prince the crown prince is a wrong decision!"
"Only I have the ability to make Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom retreat. Only by making me the crown prince will they retreat!"
The fourth prince was calm and composed, looking confident.
"Your Highness is wise!"
All his subordinates complimented him one after another.
"I have to thank Concubine Wan for giving me this idea."
The fourth prince also looked very proud.
"Your Highness, when that time comes, won't Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom regret their decision and not withdraw their troops?"
A close aide also asked with some worry.
Yes, the millions of troops from the Qianren Kingdom and the Dongyue Kingdom were deliberately put into the Yaohai Kingdom under the instructions of the fourth prince. The purpose of the fourth prince was to use this to blackmail the monarch. As long as the monarch changed his position, he
As the crown prince, he can let the armies of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom leave.
However, if by that time, Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom have tasted the sweetness and refuse to retreat as agreed with the Fourth Prince, then it will be troublesome!
In the final analysis, the essence of the two armies attacking Yaohai Kingdom is just a show, but this show cannot be faked, otherwise once the two countries really occupy Yaohai Kingdom, what use will the position of the crown prince be?
"That can't happen."
The fourth prince shook his head and said, "Ten thousand steps back, even if the people of the two countries repent and want to attack Yaohai Kingdom in a large scale, it will not be possible to succeed."
"Because... some of the information that this prince gave them is wrong. If they want to further attack Yaohai Kingdom in a large scale, they will definitely be led into a trap by this prince's wrong information."
The fourth prince looked very proud.
"Your Highness is talking about...the Black Wind Valley?"
The confidant was stunned and asked tentatively.
"That's right."
The fourth prince nodded leisurely.
Black Wind Valley is a long valley next to Shanyin Pass. Black wind blows in it all year round. The black wind is poisonous and can make people's limbs become weak and lose their ability to fight.
Moreover, black wind has a characteristic. After being absorbed by the human body, it takes about a day for the toxicity to occur. In this way, by the time it is noticed, the toxicity has already penetrated deeply into the body.
In the intelligence map given to the two countries by the fourth prince, Black Wind Valley was deliberately ignored and marked as a place without any danger.
In this way, if the two countries want to violate their agreement with the fourth prince and really invade the Yaohai Kingdom, they will definitely pass through the Black Wind Valley. And the black wind in the Black Wind Valley will make the two countries
The million-strong army has lost its combat effectiveness!
"His Royal Highness the Fourth is truly far-sighted and far-sighted."
Under the compliments of his confidants, the fourth prince also showed a confident smile and murmured: "I will definitely get the crown prince position this time!"
…
Shanyin Pass.
Because of its terrain, it became the first fortress for the Yaohai Kingdom to fight against the Qianren Kingdom and the Dongyue Kingdom's coalition forces.
At this moment, there was a dark cloud hanging over the tower of Shanyin Pass, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Outside Shanyin Pass, the ground was devastated, with corpses and bones with broken limbs and arms everywhere. The scene looked extremely tragic.
And further away, looking around, the densely packed army is like a black cloud, with no end as far as the eye can see. It is the army of the alliance between the Qianren Kingdom and the Dongyue Kingdom.
Their number is at least millions!
"Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet?"
"Where are the Zhou family's soldiers and horses?"
The soldiers on the tower of Shanyin Pass asked this question one after another in the midst of a bloody struggle.
However, at this moment, no one answered their questions.
On the contrary, at this time, voices shouting to them came from the distant armies of the two alliances outside the pass.
"Soldiers of Shanyin Pass, listen up!"
"Stop stubbornly resisting!"
Chapter completed!
