Chapter 212: The Prince's Premeditation

The first battle of the Imperial Forest Army was defeated, and the battle report soon came back, and the Beijing division Chang'an also got the news, and there was an uproar in the court, and the priceless palace jade in the Eastern Capital Hall was smashed to the ground, full of messes.

"Bastard thing, what does the general surnamed Lin eat, didn't he swear that he would conquer the enemy city, and as a result, the 80,000 elite of the Imperial Forest guarding the Beijing Division were crippled in less than a day, is he fighting, is he going to die",

The prince was furious, shook his hand and knocked over the glass lamp on the table, looked at His Highness and scolded angrily, the faces of the generals in southern Xinjiang were ugly, and no one dared to speak,

The two sixth-level cultivation royal forest army commanders who came down from the battlefield knelt on the main hall and couldn't stop trembling, and the prince was furious, they were afraid that the future emperor of the Ziwei Dynasty would behead them in a fit of anger.

The imperial court's conquest of the western frontier became well known, and nearly 400,000 dynasty troops marched to Zhongzhou, but as a result, the first battle with the winner's army was defeated.

The vanguard of the Golden Armor army was almost completely wiped out, most of them were exterminated by the winner's army, and the soldiers who escaped were afraid of being dealt with by military law, and many of them abandoned their armor and became deserters.

The Imperial Forest Army that returned to the Eastern Capital from the battlefield was only a few hundred people, and the Imperial Forest Commander who came back alive was terrified, afraid of being dealt with by military law, and the generals in southern Xinjiang were also in danger.

They were afraid that the Imperial Forest Army would be defeated, and the prince's anger would implicate them, but while they were worried, they couldn't help but secretly feel frightened in their hearts, how strong the winner army was.

Everyone in the world said that the winner army crisscrossed the western border, unparalleled in the world, but all the people present who were not leading the army to conquer and experienced a hundred battles, when they first arrived in Zhongzhou.

I didn't think that the winner army would pose much of a threat to them, no matter how much the Western Border Pass sang the praises of virtue, but in the end these were just rumors.

Coupled with this conquest war, nearly half of the standing army of the dynasty was dispatched, counting General Lin, who had died, there were four generals with eighth-level cultivation alone.

Compared with the winning army, the imperial court has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and combat power, so they feel that there will be no obstacles to the conquest of the western frontier at all.

As long as the dynastic army is out and storms the Tiger Prison City with all its might, the city can be broken in ten days at most, but they are wrong, they far underestimate the strength of the winning army.

No matter how ugly the prince scolded in a state of rage, as generals in southern Xinjiang, they understood that the Imperial Forest Army, as a forbidden army guarding the palace of the capital division, would definitely not be a rabble.

Especially the 80,000 golden armor army drawn from Chang'an this time is the elite of the elite, and General Lin, who is the commander of the two forbidden armies in the palace, is also an absolute master of eight-layer cultivation.

The strength is not strong, but as the vanguard force, they were defeated, embarrassed, and even unbelievable, and the 80,000-strong army was almost wiped out in just one day.

This makes the generals of southern Xinjiang not feel shocked, and at this moment, the most upset mood on the hall is the crown prince of the dynasty, this expedition to the west is his strength to override public opinion, advocate decision-making,

For this reason, the tripartite army of Southern Xinjiang, Jingshi and Zhongzhou was also mobilized, but whoever would have thought that the first battle with the winner's army was annihilated, and the face of the imperial court was lost.

These people in the world are looking at it, this time to send troops to the west, there are already a lot of opposing voices in the court, and Prime Minister Yang Guan does not hesitate to resign and leave the court to show his mind and oppose the court to send troops to the west

and the royal brother who has a lot of prestige in the court...... In the end, Enwang Li Lian still stood on the opposite side of him and disagreed with this decision.

As the crown prince of the current dynasty and the actual ruler of the military power of the Ziwei Dynasty, how could he not understand the serious consequences of this insistence on going his own way and conquering the western border.

The 300,000-strong army on the southern frontier was transferred from the border to engage in a civil war, during which the enemy would unite and send troops north once the enemy found out the military situation.

At that time, they were mired in the war with the winning army and could not get out, and the southern border could not stop those self-respecting envoys without reinforcements.

The crown prince couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, he was under a lot of pressure now, he originally wanted to use this expedition to the western frontier to demonstrate to the barbarians and the envoys of the festival.

Let them understand that although the imperial court has withstood the shock of the Tianbao Rebellion and the division of feudal towns, Ziwei's national strength is still there, and the dynasty is still powerful, and he wants to use the victory of this war to deter the ambitions of those wolves who are eyeing the dynasty.

But now, ......, nearly 400,000 troops are marching to Zhongzhou, but in just one day, the 80,000 golden armor army that acted as the vanguard was defeated.

What will this make the forces of all parties think, what will the ministers of the imperial court who have objections to the decision to conquer the western frontier say, and the Imperial Forest Army drawn from Chang'an, the capital division this time,

However, Gong Wei Jingshi, the main force of the forbidden army guarding the palace, when he went out to fight, many ministers and princes were very dissatisfied with this, this is the emperor's guard.

didn't stay in Beijing to defend the king, but followed the prince to go on the expedition, what is the matter, and these armies were only prepared to be expanded before the proposal of Prime Minister Yang Guan.

This family, which was originally used by the emperor to strengthen the defense of the Beijing division to defend the city, was defeated on the first day of the battlefield, but his southern Xinjiang army suffered no losses.

Some words reached the ears of the emperor, and I am afraid that in the end it will evolve into a tragic situation in which the speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart, and the prince's face is gloomy, and the top priority is to conquer the Tiger Prison City as soon as possible and destroy the winner's army.

In the final analysis, this is what the emperor cares about the most, the winner army has been the variable that the emperor is most worried about over the years, and the son of the winner is the thorn in the emperor's eye, a thorn in the flesh,

Therefore, the emperor was willing to take such a big risk this time, and did not hesitate to mobilize 400,000 dynasty troops to completely strangle this trouble, and for the crown prince,

Leading the army to exterminate the winner army can not only establish power in the court and win the trust of the emperor, but also use the victory of sending troops to the west to deter other feudal towns.

In addition, there is also an unknown purpose, which is the layout that the prince began to prepare and plan many years ago, as a prince born in troubled times, he is different from other princes who roll around in the court and accumulate experience

He joined the army at the age of 13 and experienced in the army, and he achieved the character of killing and decisiveness, which also made him have his own unique views on the form of the dynasty from prosperity to decline.

In the final analysis, there is only one reason, the power of the border towns is too large, and the imperial court lacks control over the locality, which over time has caused the phenomenon that the local army does not listen to the emperor's edict and only recognizes the general's orders.

If it weren't for such a far beyond ordinary people's knowledge, he would not have firmly held the military power of the Ziwei Dynasty in his hands at a young age.

If it is said that the layout of King Ya is to disrupt the world, impact the power of the palace lineage, and then achieve the purpose of reshuffling the royal power, then the layout of the crown prince is just the opposite.

What he wants is to centralize the power of the imperial family and strengthen the centralization of the imperial court, suppress and encroach on other forces, disintegrate the various feudal towns, unify the Central Plains, and then deter the nomadic regimes of various tribes and restore the former prosperity of the Ziwei Dynasty.

This is the layout of the crown prince of the dynasty, and the emperor to support the people first, the Huairou policy of recuperation can be said to be very different, it is worth mentioning that in the layout of the prince,

There will no longer be an alliance between the imperial court and the major factions of Wulin, what he wants is the absolute control of the dynasty over the Central Plains, not only the control of the border towns, but also the control of the nomadic regime.

At the same time, it is also the control of the special forces of martial arts and cultivators, either surrender or perish, and the winner army is the first step in his layout.
