He knew that this was a big gamble, but if he wanted to ascend to the throne of emperor, how could he have clean hands?
By sacrificing the city of Kangnan, he could successfully regain his military power and even ascend to the throne. How could he not be tempted?
Mo Zhu looked at the smile on Jun Yan's face and didn't dare to say anything.
In fact, in the past few years, he always felt that the prince in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar, but the prince before was not like this now.
He was well aware of the sufferings of the people. Whenever a place was hit by a disaster, Jun Yan would secretly visit the people and spend a lot of money to improve people's livelihood.
He would focus on how to handle state affairs rather than the ownership of the throne.
He would treat the two princes as brothers, instead of being like today, only thinking about killing the two princes and even sending assassins to assassinate them many times.
Over the years, His Highness has done far more than that. He has started raising private soldiers and even used his power to secretly collect money from merchants to privately manufacture weapons...
Mo Zhu had already forgotten when Jun Yan changed, but he felt a pent-up anger in his heart that he couldn't spit out or swallow.
He wanted to get close to Jun Yan, but there was a more important reason why he was willing to follow Jun Yan.
Jun Yan had saved him, so even though what he was doing now had violated Mo Zhu's principles many times, he was still willing to do it, even at the cost of his life.
While Jun Yan was waiting for the news of the fall of Kangnan City, things had already gone in a direction he could not have predicted.
Several days of heavy snow blocked the official road from Rongping to Kangnan City. The southern barbarians who had retreated to the south of the Yangtze River took advantage of the heavy snow and lack of information to lead their troops north.
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to catch the eldest prince off guard, but they never expected that outside Kangnan City, within a hundred meters, all the defenses were reorganized, and the main strategy was to lure the enemy into a trap.
Inside the tent, the generals and soldiers who were forced to obey the orders finally felt convinced when they saw the captured Nanman leader. They even looked at Jun Mu with stars in their eyes.
Just two days ago, the eldest prince Jun Mu suddenly visited the main camp late at night and bluntly said that he wanted to make major changes to the defense map.
They were having dinner in the camp at the time, and naturally laughed when they heard this. They laughed at Jun Mu, a prince who only talked about military affairs on paper, and sarcastically said that it would be better for him to stay in the Prince of Nan's Palace and not come out to make random remarks about state affairs.
They looked down on this sudden arrival of the prince, who was just pretending. Now that Jun Mu took the initiative to attack, they were unwilling to continue pretending.
But who would have thought that the eldest prince, who had never bothered with them, would suddenly become serious. He took the imperial military token in his hand and took the weapon from the guard beside him:
"Those who disobey the emperor's order will die!"
Those who could defend the camp had fought for several years at least, so they naturally couldn't be captured by a young boy. They immediately sneered and replied;
"When a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey military orders."
"If Your Highness is truly capable, please come and take my head."
It was naturally impossible for Jun Mu to really have the intention to kill, and the general who called himself Lu did not expect that he originally wanted to embarrass the eldest prince and make him retreat, but in the end the prince accepted the challenge.
Outside the tent, on the temporary arena, Jun Mu defeated them with absolute strength. Within an incense stick of time, and with many of them attacking together, they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
It was at that moment that they suddenly realized that the eldest prince in front of them had actually been hiding his strength.
On the battlefield, force has always been respected, so even if they feel dissatisfied in their hearts, they still recognize Jun Mu as the boss.
The deployment was changed, and they originally did not want to follow the arrangement, but who would have thought that during the half year since the eldest prince came to Kangnan City, he did not win their hearts, but instead won the hearts of some small soldiers.
The generals who had originally planned to write a memorial to impeach the eldest prince later were now half shocked and half happy, and had already put the matter behind them.
They really admired him.
This eldest prince is simply the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, who can predict everything like a god!
If the eldest prince had not discovered it in time, Kangnan City would have been lost long ago, and the people in the city would have been displaced.
The weather is really bad now. If these people are really displaced, they will not be able to survive. They won’t even have a good place to escape to.
Thinking of this, the general, who was a little impatient, kicked the barbarian leader directly.
The tied leader glared and struggled again, but was pinned down by the soldiers beside him, and then he was kicked twice.
No matter what, he is still half a king.
Such a humiliating posture caused the Nanman leader to feel extremely annoyed. He thought that if Jun Yan had not promised to share the world with him, how could he have led his troops north when Jingping was at its strongest and ended up like this...
