However, in dozens of days, the second prince ordered 20,000 horses and prepared again, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. The second prince naturally knew this truth, and at the same time ordered the troops, he also asked the military department to prepare grain and grass.

Qi Guo's actions, although he was in a hurry, were not too sudden. Qi Guo has been recuperating for so long, so he naturally has the idea of wanting to fight back.

Back then, because of the lack of ability of Qi State, he still wanted to dominate the world, and lost the war with Zhao State, so he had to send Chen Zhi to Zhao State as a proton.

Thinking of the tragic situation back then, and seeing the majestic appearance of the second prince now, who doesn't seem to take anyone in his eyes, Chen Zhi couldn't help but arouse a touch of ridicule.

It's just that after a few years of stability, you feel like you can make a comeback? The second prince is stupid, is it possible that the ministers of the court are also stupid people? Although Chen Zhi has not been in the Qi Kingdom for a long time, Chen Zhi will not believe that his father will raise useless people.

The second prince's march was very fast, resting during the day and marching at night, and every time he set up camp, he was in a no-man's land.

In order to be afraid that Zhao Guo would find out, now Zhao Guo has just begun to increase his men and horses and garrison the border passes. If it takes a long time, when there are enough people in Zhao Kingdom, they will definitely take the initiative to attack.

Originally, the food and clothing used during the march in the military camp were very different from those used by the second prince in the palace, and many people thought that the second prince might not get used to it, who knew that the second prince saw those things that were eaten and used, and he just complained a few words, and then he didn't say anything.

There is also a general who came with the second prince, although when he was in the court, no one fought with the second prince anymore, but, no matter what, the second prince is on the battlefield for the first time, and I am afraid that there are many things that he does not understand.

Therefore, the emperor still arranged for a general who had been on the battlefield to accompany him, the second prince was the deputy general, and the general was the main general.

Under normal circumstances, the second prince is the head of the horse, and the general has full authority in case of emergency. The second prince himself also understood in his heart what the emperor's intention was to arrange this person for him, so he simply didn't embarrass the general.

The general's surname is Li, a single name is Shang, he is nearly forty years old, and he is also a fierce general, the last time there was a war with Zhao State, Li Shang was only in his twenties, and he also experienced that war.

Li Shang seems to be the kind of person who does things neatly, no matter what the second prince commands, as long as it is within the normal range, Li Shang doesn't care, just like there is no such person around the second prince.

The second prince is also very satisfied with Li Shang's performance, and having such an obedient person will save him from many things. Although the second prince has a noble status, in the army, his reputation is naturally inferior to Li Shang, who trains with the generals every day.

Now, Li Shang has no intention of opposing any of the orders of the second prince, the second prince is naturally like a fish in water in the army, and all the food and clothing are given priority to the second prince. There is no emperor to suppress the second prince, and there are no brothers around him who are plotting against him, so he is naturally much more comfortable than in the palace.

After marching for dozens of days, it was already very close to the border pass, and at this time, Li Shangcai opened his mouth to ask the second prince what he thought: "Second prince, in two or three days, we will arrive at the border pass, I don't know what the second prince thinks?" ”

The second prince was sitting on the main seat of the military tent, and Li Shang was sitting on the chair under his left hand, and the second prince heard Li Shang's question, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's idea is to arrive at the border pass at night, and when Zhao Guo is unprepared, he will be caught off guard." What does General Lee think? ”

Li Shang heard the answer of the second prince, and frowned slightly, they were originally marching day and night upside down, if they launched an attack on Zhao as soon as they arrived at the border pass, the enemy was well rested and energetic, and he had just arrived here, it was the time of exhaustion, with my shortness and the strength of attacking him, it was really inappropriate.

Although Li Shang didn't want to offend the second prince, he didn't want so many people to die on the spot for an immature idea of the second prince, so he could only express his opinion.

"The minister thought that our army had just arrived at the border pass when it was exhausted, while the enemy army had been resting, and the spirit and strength were vigorous. Moreover, we are not sure how many enemy troops there are now, and it would be inappropriate to attack rashly like this, so I hope His Royal Highness the Second Prince will think twice. ”

As soon as Li Shang's voice fell, the face of the second prince changed, originally Li Shang never cared about the affairs of the second prince during this time, and the second prince still felt that Li Shang was sensible, but now he saw Li Shang opposing him, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

Although the second prince is a deputy general, he also knows what the army wants, if he can't convince the general, even if he says it himself, others will not implement it.

Therefore, although the second prince was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to give Li Shang a face anymore, the second prince's face softened slightly, looked at Li Shang, and slowly spoke: "What General Li said is very true, however, His Royal Highness still thinks that we should strike first, although we have just arrived to attack Zhao State, and it is not as good as Zhao State's soldiers and horses to rest, but our advantage is that the other side does not know our existence." ”

"If we can't attack that day, then this advantage is gone. So, how to preemptively. ”

The words of the second prince also have some truth, Li Shang lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that although the words of the second prince made some sense, there was something wrong.

First of all, the self-side does not know the strength of the other side, rashly attacking, if the other side is not many, the self-side is unprepared and has no effect, if the other side is too many, the self-side rashly attack, is not asking for trouble?

Moreover, if you are tired, the other party is full of energy, and if you attack the past, you may not be able to take advantage of anything.

Moreover, the second prince's approach is acceptable for a small army. However, now that there are 20,000 horses, it is really not advisable to sneak attack.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, no matter what, I don't agree to attack rashly, Your Highness, we still want to know about the situation at the border before making plans!" Li Shang felt that no matter what the second prince said, he could not let the second prince act rashly.

was opposed by Li Shang again, and the second prince's face was a little unbearable, although not many people saw it now, but a few soldiers were guarding in the tent. The second prince still felt that Li Shang did not save face for himself.

However, no matter what the second prince said, Li Shang did not change his mind, which made the second prince angry and couldn't say anything.

Li Shang couldn't see that the second prince was angry, but Li Shang couldn't let the second prince do whatever he wanted, he had to think about the brothers who came out with him.

Li Shang had no choice but to explain to the second prince again and again, hoping that the second prince could understand his thoughts. If he really can't make the second prince change his opinion, Li Shang can only pretend that he doesn't know what the second prince thinks.
