Chapter 198: Intrigues

The prince spoke, the intention was obvious, the army of the expedition to the west has all arrived in the eastern capital, and the vanguard force composed of the elite of southern Xinjiang is practicing outside the city at the moment, and the war with the winning army will officially start tomorrow.

Since ancient times, the two armies have competed, and the first battle is not only about the morale of the whole army, but also about the overall form of the war.

Whoever wins, who will grasp the initiative on the battlefield, therefore, tomorrow's battle is also extremely important, as soon as the prince's words fell, His Royal Highness's 4 masters of 8th order cultivation were eager to try,

These people are the top masters in the Southern Xinjiang Army and the Royal Forest Army, and everyone has absolute confidence in their own strength, and the general who stands at the front of the Southern Xinjiang array stepped forward and hugged his fist against the latter.

"Your Highness, when your subordinates were in southern Xinjiang, they heard that the winner's army was brave and invincible, and they had long wanted to be taught and enlightened, and their subordinates were willing to be the vanguard, and they would lead the army to break through the city tomorrow and cut off the heads of the winners and traitors."

The one who spoke was the number one general under the command of the prince, this person's name was Luo Qi, the general of Zhenguan in Jianmen Pass, an important town in southern Xinjiang, who had made great achievements in the Nanban battlefield and the battles of the envoys of the towns in Lingnan.

Won the trust of the prince, and now that he heard that the prince was going to choose a vanguard general to attack the Tiger Prison City, how could Luo Qi, who was known as the first fierce general in southern Xinjiang, give up this opportunity to make a major contribution, as the prince's general, he couldn't wait to perform,

Luo Yu asked for battle, and the prince was about to say something, when a person in the Royal Forest Army array also stood up and hugged his fist at the prince,

"Your Highness, your subordinates are also willing to be the vanguard, attack the Tiger Prison Pass, not destroy the thieves, swear not to be a man, and ask Your Highness to give the last general a chance",

The royal forest master's tone was resolute, and he asked the prince without hesitation, this person was General Lin, one of the two forbidden army commanders in the palace.

The prince looked at the latter, and said slowly and randomly,

"General Lin has a high fighting spirit, has there been any contradiction between you and this group of traitors?"

General Lin's words were full of anger, and when he heard the prince's question, he replied emotionally,

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, in the battle east of Ping'an City half a month ago, the winner's army openly rebelled and attacked the second-way pursuit troops, resulting in the annihilation of thousands of palace forbidden troops",

"Even my brother General Qin died at the hands of traitors, all the soldiers killed in that battle were my subordinates, this time to conquer the winner's army, my subordinates must exterminate the thieves, set foot on the thief city, and avenge my dead brother subordinates",

General Lin's eyes were lunar and he looked at the road ahead,

Looking at the royal forest camp asking for his life, Luo Qi, a master of southern Xinjiang, was also a little anxious, this person has always been anxious for quick success, how could he give up the opportunity to make a meritorious contribution,

Looking at the prince at the moment, not to be outdone,

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to make a military order, and if the battle of tomorrow cannot be won, he is willing to accept military law",

General Lin's face sank, and he was about to say something, but the prince raised his hand to stop the two from continuing to argue,

"Don't fight anymore",

After that, he first looked at his subordinate Luo Qi and said,

"General Luo, General Lin has a vendetta with the winning thief, people want to be ashamed of their blood, avenge their dead brother subordinates, they are also generals, we should understand his feelings, this time you don't have to fight for the vanguard",

The prince looked at Luo Qi and said meaningfully,

But Luo Zhen was fierce and aggressive, and obviously wanted to say something more, but he suddenly saw that the prince was looking at him meaningfully at the moment, as if he was hinting at something,

As the prince's confidant, he quickly understood and immediately shut up,

The prince paused, looked at General Lin at random, and said solemnly,

"General Lin, rebellion is rampant, destroy the forbidden army, you are the emperor's right-hand man, and you are also one of the top masters in the Imperial Guard, I have great trust in your strength",

"Since the general is eager for revenge, this prince will give you this opportunity, and tomorrow he will lead the people of the Imperial Forest Army headquarters to attack the Tiger Prison Pass",

The prince ordered in a deep voice, General Lin was full of ambition, and immediately hugged his fist at the latter,

"Thank you to the prince for giving me this opportunity, I will lead the army to break through the city tomorrow and personally cut off the head of the winner Yu Sin and the traitor White Tiger",

The crown prince bowed his head and gestured to the latter,

"General Lin go down and rest, I'm waiting for your good news in Luoyang City",

"My subordinates are ordered, and I will go and gather the army",

General Lin clenched his fists, and walked out of the hall, leaving with General Lin and the few royal forest masters standing in the hall, General Lin is the supreme commander of the royal forest army camp in this expedition.

The main general is the vanguard of the expedition, and the rest of the generals are naturally accompanied by them, and now there are only two generals of the local army in Zhongzhou standing above the main hall in addition to the generals of southern Xinjiang.

The prince paused for a moment, looked at the two of them at random, and said slowly,

"General Li, General Wang, the vanguard troops of southern Xinjiang to attack the city tomorrow have been assembled, and they are practicing outside Luoyang City at the moment, since General Lin is asking for war as the vanguard",

"Our Southern Xinjiang Army and the local army in Zhongzhou will do a good job of supporting the response, you two go to rectify the army, the Imperial Forest Army will attack the city tomorrow and it will not go well, and the rest of our second-route army horses will be on top immediately."

The two seventh-order cultivators in the hall glanced at each other, and they both saw the prince's ulterior motives from each other's eyes, but what kind of occasion was this, how could the two of them dare to say anything, and immediately clasped their fists at the prince, and responded in unison,

"The subordinates obeyed, so they went to prepare",

After that, he turned around and left the main hall, the generals of the original tripartite camp are now only the subordinates of the prince's southern Xinjiang army, and General Lin is the commander of the royal forest army camp.

He is also an absolute master of eighth-layer cultivation, and it is understandable that he should be the vanguard in terms of strength and qualifications, but the generals of Southern Xinjiang standing in His Highness still felt a little abnormal,

Luo Yu was an anxious man, and after the generals of the Imperial Forest and the Zhongzhou Army left, he looked at the latter and asked impatiently,

"Your Highness, the first battle with the enemy army is very important, why let General Lin be the vanguard, isn't it safer for this kind of thing to be done by our own people",

Luo Qi's face was full of doubts, and he looked at the prince and asked with some eagerness,

The latter's eyes were lunar, and he paused to look at Luo Qi's faint words,

"Tiger Prison Pass is a fortress in the west, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the winner army is the army of tigers and wolves, do you really think it is an easy thing to take them down?"

Luo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the latter subconsciously said,

"What do you mean?" ,

The latter's face was gloomy, and he looked at the way of the expedition ahead,

"The winning army is not easy to deal with, coupled with the Tiger Prison Pass, this moat fortress, even if we can attack it, it must be a heavy casualty, instead of consuming its own strength, why not let the Royal Forest Army go to the bloody battle, you say",

The prince said meaningfully,

Luo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly understood something, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,

"Your Highness is clever"

His Royal Highness's generals in southern Xinjiang are also aware at this moment, although the prince did not say everything in his heart, but as the prince's cronies and generals, how could he not understand what His Royal Highness the prince meant,

Although the Southern Xinjiang Army and the Imperial Forest Guards both belong to the combat power of the Ziwei Dynasty, it is true that they are standing on the same front to deal with the winning army together, but the battle for the crown prince is bloody.

No one can guarantee what will happen to the court in the near future, and the Imperial Guard is an unshakable military power in the hands of the emperor, and at that time, this well-trained forbidden army is likely to become a stumbling block to the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

The prince's eyes were cold, and he looked at the way of the expedition ahead,

"There are no eternal enemies, let alone eternal friends, and all existences that threaten me are destined to become the pedal for me to ascend the throne",
