Unlike the wailing of the Imperial Palace of Riga, the Huaishui Pass garrison attacked the camp on a rainy night, and the news of the annihilation of the army under General Dino came, and the palace of the glorious empire rejoiced, and everyone smiled, just like the New Year.

King Beckenbauer was perched high on the dragon chair, his face glowing red, as if he was a dozen years younger, a far cry from the old and sad appearance he had been a few months ago.

In the main hall, the important ministers of the empire were lined up in two columns, and everyone was full of spring breeze and excited.

"The general arrived at Huaishui Pass and endured for more than a month without any movement. But if it doesn't move, it is enough, and it is like a thunderbolt, like a thousand pounds, sweeping away the Riga army in front of the Huaishui Pass. What General Dino, the six famous generals, is just to add honor to the general. ”

A minister was excited, and his admiration was overflowing, and it did not seem to be a fake.

"Yes, the Riga Empire is arrogant and arrogant, invading and attacking our country at will, and is used to being arrogant. The general's victory was like a slap in the face, which blinded and woke up the Riga Empire. From now on, do they dare to despise us? ”

"The great general's talent is like the god of war, and he is naturally amazing. But our Majesty the King has a discerning eye for talent, and has promoted the young general, whom he has never heard of before, to a high position at once, and has been given a heavy responsibility. This eyesight, this courage, is also not comparable to ordinary people. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers woke up like a dream and suddenly changed the direction of the praise.

"That's right, the general is a rare Maxima in the world, and His Majesty the King is a Bole with unparalleled vision."

"Although His Majesty did not personally attend the battlefield, it was a highlight that he had to send a general to command the battle. Moreover, the reason why Dino neglected his precautions and easily fell for the plan was because he thought that the general must report to His Majesty the King and wait for His Majesty's reply to the peace talks. How could he have thought that His Majesty the King boldly delegated power and gave the great general the greatest authority. The reason why Dino's army was defeated was also related to the courage of His Majesty the King. ”

“……”

King Beckenbauer sat on the dragon chair and listened with a smile on his face, but did not speak.

As the head of a country, he has heard a lot of flattery. But for the first time ever, it's the first time I've ever had such a blast.

The ministers were right, the promotion and entrustment of Anthony was the craziest thing he had ever done in his life, and it was also the biggest gamble.

Throughout the history of the continent of Os, there has been a king who, like him, has entrusted the entire army of the country to an obscure young man, and has given him the greatest discretion, as well as the greatest trust and support.

Luckily, His Majesty won the bet.

His Majesty also had similar sentiments to the Grand Duke of Smowa, who stood at the front of the ministers.

In Hanover, I saw Anthony and the others who came in a hurry for the first time, and although they were in the dust, they looked quite tired and sleepy. But the young man's calm face and bottomless eyes had already left a deep impression on the Grand Duke.

In the short contact that followed, Anthony's planning made the discerning Grand Duke deeply realize that under the gentle appearance of this young man, there was a huge energy like a volcanic eruption.

You must not be an enemy of him!

This was the conclusion that the Grand Duke of Smoisa came to at that time, and from this he made his decision: to entrust the provincial army to Anthony, who would lead it and command the battle.

In retrospect, he made the right decision.

Prince Andrei was also in the hall, laughing and applauding with everyone. But if you don't pay attention to it, there is a little reluctance in his smile.

"May I ask my father, what actions does the general have now after defeating the Riga army outside Huaishui Pass?"

At this time, the praise and praise of the ministers gradually faded, and when they saw His Royal Highness the prince asking questions, they were all attracted to the attention and listened quietly.

King Beckenbauer laughed and said, "After defeating the army led by Dino, there is no barrier in front of Huaishui Pass." General Anthony took advantage of the victory and marched eastward, capturing the town of Monin and Yunyan County of the Riga Empire one after another. When the messenger came, the general had already led his army to rest in Yunyan County. ”

Knowing that many of the ministers did not know the geography of the Riga Empire, let alone where the town of Moning and Yunyan County were, His Majesty simply asked someone to bring a huge map of the Riga Empire.

Looking at the two places marked on the map, Prince Andre frowned slightly.

"The Riga Empire has always been the one he has fought against others, and few other countries have attacked them. As a result, there are very few fortifications such as fortresses in other countries. This town of Moning and Yunyan County have been taken by us, and there is already a flat river in front of us, so we can march quickly and occupy more counties and lands before the enemy reacts and gathers an army. But the general stopped and missed the ...... It's really puzzling. ”

He obviously wanted to say that Anthony had missed the opportunity, and although he closed it in time, everyone knew what he meant.

I have to say that there is some truth in the words of His Royal Highness the Prince. At the very least, the ministers looked at the large map in front of them, and they also felt that the large territory in front of Anthony seemed to be unguarded and left to be picked.

The minister who was the first to praise Anthony just now looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but stand up.

"I think with the leadership and strategic vision of a great general, he must be well aware of these things we see. I don't know why he stopped, but I think the general must have his reasons. ”

Everyone will certainly have his reasons for doing everything, this is an absolutely correct nonsense. But when the minister said it, he expressed unreserved trust in Anthony.

Some ministers stood in contemplation, while many nodded in agreement.

Prince Andrei looked at him coldly, suddenly stood up, and said loudly like King Beckenbauer.

"Father, the general fought in the south and the north, and made countless achievements. As a prince of the Empire, I am rejoicing and excited, but I am also ashamed and remorseful for my inaction. Therefore, I beg my father to let me rush to the front line of the Riga Empire, join the army of the great general, share the worries of the general, and do my part for my father and the empire. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince's voice was loud and full of energy, and he suppressed all the other voices in the hall at once. A group of important ministers of the empire silently stood back in place, either looking up at the sky or looking down at the ground, with complicated expressions on their faces.

The smile on His Majesty's face slowly retracted, and it regained its former majesty. He looked down at his son below, a flash of disappointment and pain in his eyes.

"Not allowed!"

"The general has won successive battles, and he uses his soldiers like gods, and even the so-called six famous generals of Riga have folded two of them in his hands. is so capable, where do you need a hairy boy who doesn't understand military affairs to help share it. Don't do bad things with good intentions at that time, the more you help, the more you help. Besides, you are the future king of the empire, and you will have your own generals to complete the battle of leading the army, so you need to bother with it. If you really want to contribute to the country, you might as well follow your father and me to learn how to govern the country. ”

Prince Andrei froze in place, probably not expecting his request to be denied. It took a long time to give a gift, and he was unwilling to accept the order.

"Yes, Father!"

Grand Duke Smowa watched from the side, his eyes slowly narrowing, and there was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

The morning dynasty ended, and the crowd dispersed. Prince Andre walked out, his figure a little lonely.

King Beckenbauer looked at it and sighed in his heart.

Prince Andrei's request to go to the front line of the Riga Empire, of course, is clear to His Majesty. The situation of the glorious empire has just improved, and Prince Andre is so thoughtful, how can he not be angry and angry.

But in any case, Andrei was his son, and King Beckenbauer could only remind him that his position would be hiss sooner or later, and there was no need to compete with his courtiers for credit.

It's a pity that looking at his disappointed look, he obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of His Majesty the King.

While King Beckenbauer was lamenting that his son did not understand his own mind, Prince André also lamented in his heart that his father did not understand his worries.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was full of worries, had just turned back to his palace when a tall and thin old man greeted him.

The old man was about to ask, but looking at Prince Andre's face, he already knew that things were not going well.

"Your Royal Highness, didn't Your Majesty grant your request?"

Prince Andrei grimaced and nodded.

The old man's heart also sank and sighed.

"Well, how is this good? Although Anthony is young, his ability to lead a war is far beyond what most people think. After several big victories, the prestige in the domestic limelight is unparalleled. Now that he has a heavy army in his hands, and he has been given supreme authority by His Majesty the King, he is not doing whatever he wants. If he is against him, who else can stop him, and who can control him? ”

The old man spoke generously and was very excited. Prince Andrei listened, but only a burst of annoyance.

"I know what you said, but my father trusts him so much that he doesn't even allow me to take the initiative to go to the front line to contain the overseer, what can I do!"

The old man was stunned, but he didn't expect him to react so violently, and he was silent for a while.

Prince Andrei couldn't help but regret a little when he saw him silent. He doesn't have much power in his hands now, and this old man can't afford to lose it easily.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I'm upset, I'm agitated, my tone is too heavy, and I ask you not to be surprised. ”

This tall and thin old man is Prince Andre's teacher, and he is also a top martial arts master at the gold level.

His Royal Highness knew that he was right. His father rejoiced in the succession of victories, but he did not see the potential danger of Anthony's power. Anthony didn't have any objections, if he was bent on rebellion, with the sharpness and speed of his soldiers, I am afraid that the front foot of the imperial capital would know the news, and the royal family members on the back foot would have become prisoners.

What Prince Andre didn't say was that even if Anthony didn't object, it wasn't for him to sit back and relax. You must know that his sister Princess Arlina has long been in love with this young hero, and his father is also happy to see it. If the two get married, Anthony will also become a member of the royal family. In this way, there is no need to rebel at all, and it may not be impossible for this throne to fall on his head.

Whether in public or private, Prince Andre could not let Anthony continue to sit on the throne. But his father didn't agree with his idea, he had all his thoughts, but what could he change?

The old man listened to him apologize gently, his face looked better, and he waved his hand, not minding.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't have to be like this, I also know that you have been stressed and irritable lately. Now His Majesty does not support us, and it seems that we have to think of something else. ”

Prince Andrei listened and looked up in amazement.

"What else can the teacher do?"

The old man smiled slightly, looking mysterious.

"Of course I can't help it, but I've recently met a few amazing friends who should be able to help His Royal Highness with his troubles."
