As a last resort, I had to retreat to the city to defend it. But the soldiers in front of him held back a resentment towards Shen Huo in their hearts. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that they would return to the best condition, but he forcibly ordered them to attack the Turks. So much so that for a time there were heavy casualties.

These soldiers did not dare to talk about it because of the identity of Prince Shen Huo, but there were indeed a lot of gossips in private.

Moreover, in the camp here, a spy quickly came to the gate of the camp from the front, shouting: "Report !! After Shen Huo's lieutenant heard this, he hurriedly came out of the barracks and found that this spy was the one they had planted in the camp in front of him. I think there is something important to report.

The adjutant general hurriedly greeted him and asked the spy, "So panicked, but what happened to the camp ahead?" The spy saw the deputy general beside Shen Huo and was about to speak, but when he saw the soldiers standing in the barracks, he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

opened his mouth and said to Shen Huo's lieutenant general: "There is a situation in the camp ahead, and my subordinates have something important to report, and I ask my lord to report this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince!" After the spy finished speaking, he was about to take out the letter he was carrying, but the adjutant general pulled him away: "Since it is an important matter, then the three words in the letter must not be clear, you go with me to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and report this matter clearly." ”

The spy originally wanted to refuse, but he thought that the situation ahead was too chaotic, and the three yuan and two words on the letter were really not clear, so he didn't resist, and followed the co-pilot to the gate of the camp where Shen Huo lived.

The soldiers outside the door saw that the person who came was the deputy general beside Shen Huo, so they naturally didn't stop him much. After the co-pilot walked to the door of Shen Huo's tent, he bent down and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't have something important to tell you." ”

Shen Huo, who was in the camp, was looking at the border defense map, and when he heard the voice of his lieutenant, he didn't raise his head and said, "Come in!" The co-pilot didn't say anything more, stood outside the door and saluted, then took the spy and hurried into the camp.

Shen Huo looked at the panicked look on the co-pilot's face and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" Before the co-pilot could speak, the spy next to him knelt down first and pleaded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, forgive me,

Because you ordered the attack on the Turks before, at this time the front soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the spies in front have sent the news back to the capital, at this time, the front soldiers have great dissatisfaction with you in their hearts, and the army is disheartened, and your subordinates have come to ask Your Highness, what should I do next? ”

Shen Huo didn't react for a while when he heard what the spies said, "Nonsense, when did this prince give the order to the soldiers in front and let them attack the Turks?" The spy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is indeed your order, your subordinates were watching from the sidelines, and the military order obviously has your seal on it, otherwise the soldiers in front would not have attacked the Turks." ”

When the spies said this, Shen Huo was even more unclear. He has been staying in the camp tent for the past few days to study the border defense map, and he has not even taken a step out of the camp door, and how can he get the order to the soldiers in front of him to attack the Turks.

But if the spy said that, it means that the incident has really happened. For a moment, Shen Huo thought of the letter He Suoyi had written to him a few days after his march.

The letter said that someone pretended to be by water to arrive at the barracks in advance, so that he must be careful. And these days, all of Shen Huo's thoughts have been stained by these soldiers in the barracks who have been infected with the wind and cold, so he didn't think of this matter for a while.

There is also the fact that as the prince of a country, his entourage of honor is second only to the emperor, which is not something that ordinary people can pretend to be if they want to. And if that person appears with a guard of honor as grand as himself, then no matter where he is, he can get the news as soon as possible.

So he didn't say anything to the person who was pretending to be him|: "The soldiers in front have not yet recovered from the previous Turkic attack, and their combat effectiveness has not yet recovered to the best state, and after the last battle, their numbers have been greatly inferior to before, and they are waiting for your support at this time, therefore, in this battle, we have not only lost badly, but also ......"

Shen Huo looked at the spies' spitting appearance, frowned, and shouted, "If you have anything to say, this prince will exonerate you." ”

The spy breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "And because of your order this time, the soldiers at the front have a lot of grievances against you in their hearts, and because of this defeat, the soldiers at the front are disheartened. The further back the spy spoke, the quieter it became.

In the end, he lowered his head to the ground and did not dare to raise it. The adjutant general stood in the camp tent, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere. I was afraid that Shen Huo would be angry with him if he was unhappy.

Shen Huo was indeed very angry at this time, but he was not angry that the soldiers in front of him were resentful of him, but angry that he did not deploy in advance.

As early as when he was just on the march, Ayi reminded himself of this matter, but he took it lightly, so much so that he planted such a big heel this time. The soldiers at the front suffered heavy casualties and the morale of the army was weakened......

Thinking of this, Shen Huo's heart was like a knife. Those men who threw their heads and spilled blood in front of him for Da Zhou, because of his momentary negligence, suffered heavy losses.

The adjutant general looked at Shen Huo's gloomy face, and said stiffly: "Your Highness, at this time, the situation ahead is in crisis, how should we deal with it now?" Shen Huo glanced at the arming map on the desk,

glanced at the spy who was kneeling on the ground again, and said: "You now take my jade pendant and the prince jade seal back to the front camp, calm the hearts of the army, and be sure to stabilize the mood of the soldiers in the front camp, I will be there tomorrow." ”

Because he was so anxious in his heart, Shen Huo didn't even notice the "I" he used in his own self-proclaimed use. However, the deputy general and the spies were also preoccupied with what happened in the front camp this time, and they didn't notice Shen Huo's self-proclaimed problem.

The spy answered, "Yes." With Shen Huo's jade pendant and the prince's seal, he hurriedly rode back to the camp in front.

After the spies left, the adjutant general anxiously asked, "Your Highness, what should we do about this incident?" "He has always been by His Royal Highness's side, and naturally knows that he has never gone out underground in the past few days except for staying in the camp tent, let alone issuing such an important thing as issuing military orders, if His Highness has really done it, then everyone in the camp should know about it now.

But there was not the slightest movement on their side, and as a result, such an order came from the front. It can be seen that His Royal Highness was framed by someone at all. And this matter will definitely reach the ears of the emperor, how should His Highness deal with it at that time?

Thinking of this, the adjutant general's face turned even paler. However, after Shen Huo's shock and irritability at the beginning, his mood has slowly calmed down now.

Since so much has happened, no amount of quibbling is useless. The most important thing at the moment is to appease the soldiers ahead, and we can only appease the soldiers in front first. The rest will have to wait until they get to the border.

Shen Huo did not answer the adjutant general's question. Instead, he gave an order to the adjutant general: "Prince Chuanben orders that the whole army march towards the border with its camp, and must reach the border within one day." The adjutant also knew the importance of this matter, so without saying a word, he replied: "Yes." After saying that, he quickly ran out to give the order.

Soon the outside of the tent was in action.

Shen Huo sat down at the desk again, he felt that he should calm down, this matter was bound to be transmitted back to the capital, and when the time came, his group of brothers would definitely be able to fall into the well in front of his father, and then pull himself down.

In addition to appeasing the soldiers in front of him, he now has to think about how to face the difficulties of his father and brothers?

and Ayi who is in the East Palace, as soon as this incident comes out, he will inevitably be pushed to the cusp of the storm, what if Ayi is wronged in the capital at that time?

And the spies in the barracks here have brought the news back to the court. The emperor was halfway up, the spies brought the news back, and after the emperor saw it, he was immediately furious, slammed the music in front of him, and then scolded: "What is going on with the prince, he doesn't know the situation on the frontier, and he boldly gave an order, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers in front, what is in his head?" ”

This is the first time that the emperor has scolded Shen Huo in the court, which shows how ruthless the emperor is this time.

And those other princes, when they heard the emperor scolding Shen Huo like this, they all had serious expressions on their faces, but they were already happy in their hearts. I only hope that Shen Huo can be scolded by the emperor as badly as possible.

It is better to lose this crown prince directly, then their other brothers will have a chance. Gu Zhiheng glanced at several ministers behind him, those ministers had already discussed with Gu Zhiheng, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the prince's behavior this time is so joyful, regardless of the safety of the soldiers, it is the zombies in front of him who are in dire straits, and they are really not worthy of being the prince." ”

This sentence is very heavy, and it is almost clear that Shen Huo is not worthy of being the prince. But the sarcasm in the tone is also full.

When the other ministers heard him say this, they all stood up, and they also accused Shen Huo of ignoring the safety of the soldiers and the like, and the ministers on Shen Huo's side naturally refused to give up, and let them slander Shen Huo so much, so the two parties quarreled so much above the court.

This was the case for several days.
