Chapter 450 Disrupting the Morale of the Army



General Zhang was stunned when he heard Jiang Lan say this, "Is this... true?"

General Liu frowned, picked up the teacup and took a sip!

"Well, it does seem a little strange!"

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed with cunning, "Brother Liu has also noticed it!"

"Take the incident of burning the Jin army's food supplies at Fengxi Pass for example. If it weren't for Brother Miao sending Shen Jialin and Wen Hao to go there, and personally diverting the enemy's attention at the front line."

"How could they succeed so easily?"

"But in the end, all the credit went to Shen Jialin and Wen Hao, but not a word was mentioned about Brother Miao's achievements!"

"What kind of logic is this? It's really infuriating!"

General Zhang frowned and nodded thoughtfully.

The expressions of the other two generals, General Zhou and General Sun, also turned very ugly.

Seeing that everyone believed what he said, Jiang Lan had a barely perceptible smug look in his eyes, and decided to press on and pursue the victory.

"Let's talk about the time a while ago when Qiu Mobai and Hua Lingyi defeated an enemy army of 60,000 with only a few thousand men, and captured the ninth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom alive."

"On the surface, it seems that it is all due to their extraordinary bravery and strategy."

"But if you think about it a little, you can find some clues."

"Because of that battle, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan only took them to the battlefield."

"Among us veterans who have served His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan for many years, only General Zhou has gone to the battlefield."

"And all of us are staying in the rear, with no chance to go to the battlefield, so how can we achieve military merit?"

"So, the reason why Qiu Mo, Bai Hua, Ling Yi and the others were able to defeat the enemy with fewer troops and capture the Ninth Prince was because they went to the battlefield and had this great opportunity."

"It was a lucky coincidence that we had the right time, right place, and right people. We won by chance!"

Several generals nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

They also felt that if they were in such an environment, they could win with fewer people. Even if they didn't win so beautifully, it wouldn't be too bad.

Jiang Lan saw that everyone had understood and continued speaking hurriedly.

"The battlefield is inherently extremely dangerous!"

He frowned and continued in an increasingly serious tone.

"But His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan did not even send our battle-hardened generals to rescue the captives."

"Instead, they asked two weak women to rescue more than a hundred prisoners! This is simply nonsense!"

"Although this time, they were lucky enough to rescue the captives."

"But who can guarantee that we will have such good luck every time?"

"What if the rescue operation fails next time?"

"By that time, not only will the two female generals themselves be trapped and unable to escape, but more importantly, there will be more than a hundred people from the Great Sheng Dynasty!"

"I really don't understand what His Royal Highness Prince Yan is thinking."

"Could it be that he is only interested in gaining military merit for those rookies and new recruits who have no combat experience?"

"Your Highness Prince Yan, do you not care about the real situation and potential risks at all?"

After hearing this, several generals began to sigh, with helplessness and disappointment revealed on their faces.

At this moment, General Liu could no longer suppress his indignation and shouted at the top of his voice:

"I have already said this a long time ago. It is a crucial and important battle like the attack on the Great Jin."

"General Lian, General Pan, General Gan, General Qi, General Miao and many other brave generals. It is only natural that they should lead the way."

"Now, I can only take orders to guard a few checkpoints in the rear."

"It's simply a waste of talent!"

General Zhou also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I don't know what His Royal Highness Prince Yan is thinking. Does he really think we are too old? Does he want these newcomers to replace us?"

Several people were shocked!

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Jiang Lan sighed hypocritically.

"Well, who knows? We can only take it one step at a time."

"We are all His Royal Highness Prince Yan's men."

General Sun frowned, "The battle is not over yet, let's see what His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will do next."

General Liu said unhappily, "If His Royal Highness Prince Yan continues to act alone!"

"Then I also plan to ask to be transferred to guard the pass."

"Yes, if Your Highness Prince Yan keeps doing this, then I will accompany you to guard the pass!" General Zhou patted Jiang Lan on the shoulder!

Seeing that they were all dissatisfied with King Yan, Jiang Lan suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, I don't want to guard the pass! I need all my strength to go to the battlefield!"

"If His Royal Highness Prince Yan doesn't let me go to the battlefield!"

"Then I might as well ask for the emperor's grace. Transfer me somewhere else."

Several people were stunned and looked at him!

Jiang Lan pretended to be a rough guy and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

"They are all for serving the country! Follow the Prince of Yan, or follow the Emperor! Aren't they all for our Great Sheng Dynasty, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment!"

“It makes no difference.”

General Zhang, General Zhou, General Liu and General Sun all frowned slightly.

General Zhang said, "It seems... there is some truth in what you said!"

Jiang Lan sneered in her heart!

He knew the backgrounds of these generals well in advance and knew that they were not very loyal to King Yan!

That's why he dared to slander Prince Yan and Qiu Mobai and other people favored by Prince Yan directly in front of them!

Seeing that a few people were wavering, he had achieved half of his goal! Next, he just needed to add more fuel to the fire!

He didn't believe that King Yan's army would not be in chaos!

In this way, he can successfully complete the task assigned to him by the emperor!

Jiang Lan's eyes were full of determination, but he didn't notice that Lian Gui, who was sitting at the end, had a flash of contempt in his eyes.

Idiot...

In the following battles, the King of Yan clearly felt that several generals were in a bad mood and were passive and slacking off.

The King of Yan ignored it and continued to do as he pleased.

We will still give Qiu Mobai, Hua Lingyi, Hua Lingjian, Zhang Fengjin and Hou Yingying more opportunities to go to the battlefield.

Invisibly, the atmosphere between the new and old players became increasingly tense.

Until half a month later, in a battle.

General Zhou and General Zhang, commanders of the right wing, were originally responsible for the rear rescue, but they were nearly two hours late.

The left wing, Qiu Mobai and his 30,000 troops, and the core force of the King of Yan's 50,000 troops were almost wiped out.

In this battle, both the army of King Yan and the army of Jin were defeated. The army of King Yan suffered a direct loss of 50,000 people!

Qiu Mobai, Hua Lingyi, and Hua Lingjian were seriously injured. The King of Yan was slightly injured!

This was the most tragic loss the King of Yan had suffered since he started his campaign.

After the troops returned to the camp.

The King of Yan was furious and ordered General Zhou and General Zhang to be beaten to death. No one in the army dared to object!

General Sun and General Liu have actually confirmed that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan favors the new generals.

When Jiang Lan saw all this, he felt that his goal was about to be achieved!

That night, Prince Yan's army suddenly mutinied.
