Crown Prince Yelu Hua never imagined that his second brother would be instigated by Cui Yueming to rebel against him.
He was still in the central army tent at this moment. He did not feel relieved until midnight when he learned that Yelu Han had completely controlled the left army.
"How long will it take for the White Feather Guards to arrive?" He leisurely brewed a pot of tea and glanced at the Crown Prince's tutor, Guo Yushan. "Early tomorrow morning, these three armies will leave Maoshan Pass. Although the enemy is only 200,000 strong, they must not be underestimated."
Yelu Hua's attitude at this time was completely different from before.
His expression was somewhat solemn. "According to our plan, these 300,000 troops will leave Maoshan Pass to break the enemy's formation. But the real trump card is the 200,000 White Feather Guards that I have painstakingly cultivated..."
"My second brother's 200,000-man Plastic Army should have arrived here."
Guo Yushan's left eyelid twitched for some reason. "The White Feather Guards will arrive in another hour, but... the Sufang Army hasn't received any news from their scouts yet."
He paused, then asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you think it's possible that the Second Prince, Yelu Shu, will declare himself king after conquering the Imperial City?"
Yelu Hua laughed, "Grandmaster, do you also think I'm that stupid?"
Guo Yushan gave Yelu Hua a meaningful look and replied insincerely, "I dare not!"
Yelu Hua took a sip of tea and said, "Try it! This is the cloud mist I bought from Guanyun City when I was on a diplomatic mission to Daxia... You don't know, Guanyun City is prosperous, countless times more prosperous than our Dading Prefecture."
He stood up, his face full of envy. "I truly admire Fu Xiaoguan from the bottom of my heart. He conquered such a vast empire and governed it so well!"
"Such a person is truly a hero!"
Guo Yushan was a little puzzled and asked cautiously, "If that's the case... why did you kill Yelu Dan?"
Yelu Hua pursed his lips. "Because when I ascend the throne, I will govern the Liao Dynasty just as brilliantly! By the way, weren't you worried that the second brother would declare himself king? Five months ago, I gave him a mentor, Mr. Yueming. He... is my man."
Guo Yushan was surprised, and when she looked at Yelu Hua again, she suddenly realized that the prince didn't seem so stupid after all.
He actually knew how to plan ahead and even had a backup plan that I didn't even know about... Did you think he was hiding his abilities?
At this moment, a scout came running and the guards outside the tent took him into the camp.
"Report to His Highness! The Sufang Army, the Sufang Army..."
"The Sufang Army has arrived?" Yelu Hua said with joy, "Hahahaha, now I have an army of 700,000!"
"No matter how powerful the Great Xia army is, can it really defeat my army of 700,000?"
"No, Your Highness,"
The smile on Yeluhua's face gradually faded. "What the hell is going on? Can you please speak faster?!"
"Your Highness, the Sufang Army has gone to Dading Prefecture!"
"What……?"
With a "clang", the teacup in Yelu Hua's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
His brows furrowed as he stared at the scout, "Is this information accurate?"
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true!"
"You bully me, bro!" Yelu Hua drew his sword and said, "Go to hell!"
With a "crack", he chopped off the scout's head. He held the bloody sword in his hand, and scared Guo Yushan so much that she took three steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Guo Yushan had no idea and thought to herself what the hell was going on. Was the second brother trying to establish himself as king?
Yelu Hua suddenly stopped, the tip of his sword drooped, and blood dripped onto the ground.
"Oh, the second brother also wants to be the emperor. It seems that Mr. Yueming has failed."
"Second Brother is such a secretive guy. He calls me Crown Prince so affectionately on weekdays. It turns out he's trying to confuse me..."
"He's the emperor, and I'm here guarding the border for him. That doesn't make sense."
"Come, come, come...! Go and call the generals of the three armies to me!"
Yelu Hua roared, and a moment later, three generals stood in front of him.
He sat down at the desk, took a teacup and drank a cup of tea, and suddenly felt that the tea was not fragrant anymore.
"It's like this. We just received news that Yelu Shu has rebelled, and Your Majesty has fallen into Yelu Shu's hands..."
The three generals were shocked and looked at each other. What the hell, we were fighting so hard on the front line, but Yelu Shu took over the rear!
"Your Highness, let's fight back!"
"Your Highness, let's kill Yelu Shu first and then fight Daxia!"
"Your Highness, fighting on this front is pointless. I suggest we go back and reclaim Dading Prefecture first!"
Yelu Hua stood up, his face gloomy. "Alright, all the troops, listen up! Break camp and set off now. Leave all the food and supplies behind. I can let Fu Xiaoguan get away with it, but I can't let Yelu Shu get away with it!"
"Quick, now, immediately, assemble the troops and march out!"
"Go to Dading Prefecture and capture the Second Brother alive. I will ask him in person if he is worthy of being the emperor!"
The camp of 300,000 people was thrown into chaos by this sudden order.
At this time, Guan Xiaoxi's First Army had just crossed Maoshan Pass, and his scouts came rushing over.
"Commander, Commander, it's an emergency."
The army stopped at the front line. Guan Xiaoxi thought his army was exposed, but he never expected that the scout said:
"Commander, the enemy is moving unusually and gathering. The vanguard has become the rearguard. It seems, it seems they are about to run!"
Guan Xiaoxi was shocked. The battle hasn't even started yet. Besides, the enemy doesn't know that we are going to launch a general attack tonight. Why are they running away?
"Why?"
"Well...I really don't know why."
Guan Xiaoxi was confused. If the enemy ran away, that would be the perfect time to kill him while he was sick.
"Quickly inform Commander Tuoba Feng that the tactical plan has changed. Ask his cavalry corps to quickly cross Maoshan Pass. Let's go and hunt rabbits! Quick!"
"Herald, quickly inform all divisions to speed up their march. I'm going to launch a blitzkrieg!"
"Yu Dingshan, Yu Dinghe, listen up! You two regiments will be the vanguard. Move forward quickly to engage the enemy. Don't give them time to organize their forces and retreat!"
"I obey your orders!"
In the dark night, two regiments of the Army's First Army galloped away on war horses.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Xiaoxi led the army and rushed away.
Tuoba Feng, who was behind, got the news. He hesitated for only ten breaths before issuing an order: "Cavalry Corps, charge with all your might!"
This order is a bit strange. Why is a charge launched when we haven't even passed Maoshan Pass yet?
This was the team Tuoba Feng personally selected from among the barbarians, and all the generals had no doubts about his orders.
The cavalry corps galloped out and surpassed Guan Xiaoxi's First Army an hour later.
"Commander Guan, I won't be polite with you about your achievements in this battle!"
"Tuoba Feng, you are so shameless!"
"Hahahaha... Let's meet in Dading Prefecture. I'll treat you to a drink then!"
