Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great War Dawns

"Acting under orders, by whose orders, would have you set the beast to murder the people of my divine dynasty, or was someone else ordering you to do so?"

Prince Shakya asked three times in a row, so that Wulong couldn't answer, and even Teng Hong next to him couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that this prince of theirs had finally opened his mind.

In the battle of the Southern Expedition, Prince Shakya, as the supreme commander, naturally did not issue such an order, but Wulong did act on orders, so the order could only come from one person, and only that person could really order Wulong and the Iron Beast Army led by Wulong, that person was the Emperor Tianqi.

But the Iron Beast Army slaughtered the town, Wu Long naturally can't say that he was ordered by the Emperor of Tianqi, at least not on the surface, if he said so, it would be to touch the Emperor of Tianqi in the dark, and it would make him fall into a bad reputation of killing his subjects and tyrants.

Therefore, this loss, Wulong can only swallow it by himself, but it is only there, if you want to rely on this matter, you will condemn him, it is impossible, not to mention that this matter was originally instructed by the Emperor Tianqi, and he Wulong, as the minister of the Divine Dynasty and the close minister of the emperor, is heartfelt to the Divine Dynasty, in this matter, not to mention that he has not made a mistake, even if he has made a mistake, he can completely offset the merit without any punishment.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, I am a god to govern the army, and there has always been clear rewards and punishments, at this time, Teng Hong suddenly stood up and praised Prince Shakya.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Wu Long again, and turned on the persuasion mode.

General Wu, even if you have made great contributions to the Divine Dynasty, it is indeed yours in this matter, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been extrajudicial and has forgiven you", this southern expedition, between our monarchs and ministers, must work together to live up to His Majesty's trust, and must not have a gap in his heart.

Teng Hong, as a senior general of the Divine Dynasty, has been an official for a long time, and is well versed in the way of officialdom.

Turning his head and glaring at Teng Hong fiercely, Wu Long said with some reluctance, "In this case, Weichen obeys the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."

However, Wu Long's words changed. This southern expedition is related to the future plan of the Divine Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the army for the first time, if the decision is wrong, the army will be in danger, so the general must reserve the right to take over the command immediately, so as not to cause heavy casualties to our army, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not promise, please forgive the end will not be able to obey."

As soon as these words came out, Prince Shakya suddenly felt a little embarrassed, what Wu Long said was reasonable, he really didn't understand military affairs, especially when the two armies were fighting, and the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, he was not sure about it.

But this right was not easy for him to come by, and for a while, he was in a dilemma.

And just when Prince Shakya was in a dilemma, Teng Hong suddenly said, "The last general agrees with General Wulong's request, war cannot be child's play, the army is dispatched, and the command of the generals is very important."

At this point, he agrees with Wu Long's opinion that a general, if he cannot be responsible for his own soldiers, then he will not accompany him.

"Prince Shakya, he is kind-hearted, he controls Wulong, he doesn't really want to monopolize power, deep down in his heart, he doesn't want a big war to break out, and he doesn't want the lives of the Nanzhan Kingdom to be ruined, but, in the same way, he doesn't want the Holy Heaven Divine Kingdom to suffer heavy losses, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat", which side loses, he doesn't want to see.

"I agree to your request", which is more important, Prince Shakya is not confused, so he agreed to Wulong's request.

Three days later, I personally took command, General Teng was the vanguard, and General Wu was responsible for pressing the formation.

"The last will obey."

Prince Shakya gave the battle order, and the army was scheduled to set off three days later.

When the order was handed down, the army immediately entered a state of combat readiness, the grain and grass needed to move first, the scouts listened to the enemy's military situation, and everything was carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

Knock, knock, knock, war drums, wolf smoke, the army moved, the momentum was huge, the golden war tiger, one horse in the lead, Prince Shakya was wearing a golden armor, sitting on it, so not majestic.

Teng Hong is also a battle armor with him, a flame howling dragon spear, which has a chill from the forest, and there is also a cloud pattern Xuanjin tiger under him, and the tiger is windy.

Teng Hong followed behind Prince Shakya, and along the way, he explained to Prince Shakya the customs of Nanzhan Buzhou, as well as the general situation of Nanzhan Buguo, these things, Prince Shakya already understood, but after all, Teng Hong, who had been stationed here for a long time, did not know the details.

Teng Hong has been stationed abroad all the year round, defending the forces of the Southern Zhan Divine Kingdom, knowing himself and the enemy, and winning all battles, although it is said that the Southern Zhan Tribes and several other forces have been intimidated by the strength of the Holy Heavenly Divine Kingdom, and for many eras, they have been bowing their heads and paying tribute to congratulate, but as an ancient country that is almost as old as the Holy Heavenly Divine Kingdom, and there has been a dragon's breath, how can it be willing to submit to others for a long time.

This kind of truth is understood by the Nanzhan Tribe, and the Holy Heaven and Divine Kingdom also understands.

Therefore, this southern expedition, on the one hand, is because of Prince Shakya, and on the other hand, it is also considered that the Emperor of Tianqi, one of the most outstanding emperors of the Holy Heavenly God Kingdom in the past dynasties, how can his strategy be so shallow.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the last inquiry, this time the Southern Zhan Kingdom has gathered a million troops to defend the south of the Battle Spirit Sea, and the last general speculates that they may want to rely on the danger of the Battle Spirit Sea to fight our army." Teng Hong sat on top of the Xuanhu and told Prince Shakya about the latest information he had.

"General Teng has been stationed here all year round, so who is leading the troops this time?" Prince Shakya turned his head and asked.

"This last general is incompetent and has not mastered it", Teng Hong is also direct and reported according to the truth.

General Teng doesn't matter, such a military secret, if you want to come to the Southern Zhan Country, you won't let us easily find out.

"However, Teng Hong wanted to speak and stopped, "General Teng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Prince Shakya saw this and said."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general has been stationed here for many years, and he still knows a little about the situation in the Southern Zhan Kingdom.

According to the last general's knowledge, there are four gods of war in the country of Nanzhan, and these four people are experts in marching and fighting", among the four gods of war, it is rumored that there is a person who is called God with "treacherous" Taoism, his name is Bai Tu, also known as the god of war.

According to the actions of the Southern Zhan tribe in the past, this time they were unusual, and they used the Sea of War Soul as a natural danger to meet our army, so there will be a guess in the end, this time, it may be this person in charge.

"Bai Tu," Prince Shakya muttered several times about this name, and then said, "Whether it is him or not, this time we are here to conduct peace talks, and I hope that there will be no more war between the two countries in the future", Prince Shakya, who was sitting on the back of the war tiger, thought in his heart.
