Feng Yuheng suddenly appeared in the Biannan camp, and caught the people here off guard. They had never heard of women being allowed to enter the military camp. It was fine that Princess Ji'an had made trouble in the Ninth Prince's army, but why was she showing off in the Biannan camp now?
The deputy general of logistics was the first to get angry and asked loudly, "Who is coming?"
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly: "You ask even though you know the answer."
Wang Chuan Huang Quan, Ban Zou and He Gan who followed behind him also sneered at this. He Gan even said, "Don't look for trouble. In Dashun, who else can call herself a princess except Princess Ji'an?"
"Princess Ji'an?" The deputy general of logistics had something to say, "So what if you are Princess Ji'an? Outside, we respect you as a princess and kneel down and kowtow to you. But this is a military camp, and women are not welcome in the military camp! It is also a taboo for women to enter the camp! May I ask, Princess Ji'an, what are you doing in our camp?"
This person was very rude, staring at Feng Yuheng with his eyes, looking like an old enemy. Feng Yuheng was so angry that he laughed, "Did this princess kill your whole family or something? Why do you have such a big grudge?" She was also very rude, and even ran towards the deputy general while talking. She came close, stood three steps away, and then said, "Deputy General Tong, right? This princess heard that you went to a cloth shop in Lanzhou yesterday. Is this true?"
Deputy General Tong frowned and said, "So what? I am the deputy general in charge of logistics. The cloth shop has a cooperation with our camp. Soldiers order fabrics there to replenish their clothes."
"Really?" Feng Yuheng suddenly laughed, but this kind of laughter gave people a gloomy feeling, especially that of Deputy General Tong, who was actually chilled by her laughter in the hot weather in the south. "The materials for the soldiers' clothes were all ordered there, which shows that they have a close relationship. Well, then this princess seems to understand why some of the thieves who robbed the food and grass ran back to the southern border and entered the cloth shop."
"What?" Her words startled all the soldiers. No one understood what she said. Someone asked anxiously, "What does the princess mean? Food and grass were robbed?"
"Yes!" Feng Yuheng spread his hands. "The food and grass that could have been transported to the Biannan camp a long time ago were suddenly hijacked by a group of thieves when the Second Prince's escort team was about to enter Luotian Prefecture a few days ago! All the food and grass were taken away and burned, and the Second Prince's secret guards followed the group of thieves and found that several of them entered Lanzhou and went into the cloth shop that Deputy General Tong often visited."
"How... could this happen?" Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at Deputy General Tong: "Did you hear about this when you went to the cloth shop? Why did those people go to the cloth shop?"
Deputy General Tong's face was not very good. Facing people's questioning, he only said ambiguously: "How should I know!" Then he pointed the finger at Feng Yuheng: "Princess, please don't talk about other things. We are questioning you now. As a woman, why did you come to the camp to find trouble?"
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly, "Why, do you have any objection to this princess entering the camp?"
"certainly!"
"If you have any objections, get out of here!" Feng Yuheng was angry. "This princess has no time to whine with you here. As a person in charge of logistics, if I have to say this, it should be the deputy general of the three armies who should negotiate with this princess. Who do you think you are? Do you represent these 300,000 troops? Don't you welcome this princess? Fine! This princess can leave, but you 300,000 people can't even think of eating a grain of rice from the food and grass I provide! Just starve to death!"
When they heard that they would not be given food, the soldiers refused to fight again. Someone agreed with Deputy General Tong and said, "Since we are not given food, then we will not fight!"
Feng Yuheng was not afraid of this: "I didn't bring you with me to the battle, who am I trying to scare?"
The soldiers were stunned. That's right. They didn't need them in the war! Since the Ninth Prince came, what have they done except wasting food here?
Then Feng Yuheng said again: "Since you said you don't want to fight anymore, then pack your bags quickly. Don't occupy the army's establishment and eat the court's military pay. We don't want soldiers who don't fight! Go back to your homes and find your mothers!"
After hearing her words, some soldiers could not help themselves and simply raised a big flag, shouting: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is unfair! It is unlucky for women to enter the camp! Princess Ji'an's bad words hurt the morale of the army! We want justice! Please give us back the justice that was once given to us by Your Highness the Eighth Prince!"
When he shouted, others followed suit. For a time, people were infected by this atmosphere, and gradually, more and more people followed suit and shouted reactionary slogans.
Feng Yuheng squinted her eyes and looked at the big flag. On it was a word "Mo", which was the name of the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo. How could she not understand what was going on? She just pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why? You still have the Eighth Prince's flag in your hands? It seems that your hearts towards the Eighth Prince have never changed! Are you waiting for the Eighth Prince to return to the South Realm one day and lead you again? Lead you to collude with Gu Shu to attack Dashun? Have you all forgotten what the Eighth Prince did? Have you all forgotten that you were originally the Eighth Prince's pawns to seize the throne? Have you all forgotten that if the Ninth Prince hadn't come, you would have been trampled under the feet of the 500,000 troops rushing out of the desert?"
She shouted harshly, still holding the strange thing that could amplify her voice countless times. The sound traveled far away, and countless soldiers heard it, and instantly remembered the terrible conspiracy of the Eighth Prince, which almost made them accomplices of the traitors, and almost cost them their lives. Moreover, so many soldiers in Luotianfu were afraid. If the Eighth Prince was still in charge of this, Luotianfu would have become a bloody domain by now, right?
The slogans gradually faded, and people dared not to follow suit. Those who took the lead in shouting stopped shouting when they saw no one joining in. But the big banners in their hands were still raised, and the big "Mo" character on them was so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes.
Feng Yuheng felt uncomfortable staring at the flag, so she simply reached into her sleeve, pulled out a pistol from the space, and fired unexpectedly! Before people could see clearly what she was holding, they heard a "bang" and the flagpole in the distance broke in half!
People gasped. Some knew that this must be the hidden weapon used by the Ninth Prince's army, which was almost as powerful as a thunderbolt. At the same time, they were surprised that Princess Ji'an's technique was so precise that she could even break a thin flagpole at such a distance. What kind of accuracy was this?
"Xuan Tianmo's flag can actually be raised. Xifang, you haven't done your job well here." She scolded Xifang coldly, "You should be punished for such a mistake."
Xi Fang said respectfully: "I accept the punishment. But before I accept the punishment, please allow me to capture that person to restore the prestige of the army!"
After he finished speaking, he strode into the crowd. People automatically made way for him. They watched Xifang grab the man by the collar, and then grabbed another person beside him. He said, "You two are the ones who are making the most noise. You miss the Eighth Prince a lot, right? I can send someone to take you back to the capital, and you can personally express your longing for the Eighth Prince."
On Feng Yuheng's side, Deputy General Tong was also restrained by He Gan. No force was used at all, just a gun was pointed at his head.
The three of them were stunned, and the people in the Biannan army were also stunned. Everyone was devastated. Why was Princess Ji'an so violent? She looked even more violent than the Ninth Prince, who was called the Ninth King of Hell!
Feng Yuheng looked at the three people and smiled, "It's not difficult to find out the remnants of the Eighth Prince. This princess might as well tell you that the cloth shop in Lanzhou City has been controlled by our people. Don't even think about passing the news out. The court will immediately start the trial process for the case of the Eighth Prince sending people to hijack food and grass to cut off the military supply of Biannan. Aren't you thinking about your Eighth Prince? This princess will send someone to send you back, so that you can see with your own eyes how the Eighth Prince is tried and how he confesses his guilt. See how many people's hearts that commander has chilled!"
Her words shocked people again. Could it be that the Eighth Prince was the one who caused the Biannan Camp to run out of food? But... why? They had fought with the Eighth Prince for many years, why did he let them starve to death?
Some people couldn't figure it out, and felt very aggrieved. They said angrily: "This is too cruel! The princes are fighting for power and want to use us, the little minions, to fill the hole. Who did we offend?"
"That's right! Princess, even though His Majesty the Ninth Prince didn't take us with him when he went into battle, we have also been guarding Biannan diligently. Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. Why is the Eighth Prince so cruel as to starve us to death?"
Feng Yuheng spread his hands: "This is the human heart, don't you understand? For those who are kind-hearted, even if you were the Eighth Prince's subordinates in the past, as long as you sincerely change your ways, as long as you can recognize the situation clearly, as long as you still have a heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country, he will still treat you as brothers! For example, the Ninth Prince. And for those who are not kind-hearted, even if you have followed him through life and death for many years, when something involving his interests happens, he will abandon you without hesitation. But you also have to reflect on yourself, why am I angry today, it's because I see too many people with unstable minds, who go wherever the wind blows, never willing to analyze things carefully, get excited when encountering something, and are easily instigated by others. Let me ask you, if one day someone from Gu Shu comes to you and says a few bad things about the Ninth Prince, will you believe it?"
Her words made all the soldiers of the three armies bow their heads, feeling ashamed. Think about it, isn't it? They are fence-sitters, and they believe everything they hear. When the Ninth Prince came to the camp that day, he was all right, but today, when something small happened, he lost his temper and started to make trouble. Now think about it carefully, those people who were caught in the front even kept the flag of the Eighth Prince. It is obvious that they have bad intentions. Why are they making trouble?
Besides, the Ninth Prince couldn't just watch 300,000 people starve to death. He would definitely find a way. Now they didn't even ask questions and just joined in the trouble. Princess Ji'an looked tough, but she hadn't arrested all the troublemakers yet! She was kind.
Feng Yuheng looked at these people and could naturally see their psychological changes. She felt quite satisfied. As the saying goes, a tree will not grow straight if it is not beaten, and a man will become stiff if he is not disciplined. Soldiers who are not direct descendants will always be disciplined from time to time. If they can really discipline a group of personal guards, it will be considered that their efforts are not in vain.
She smiled and took the initiative to bring up the topic that Deputy General Tong had mentioned at the beginning: "Some people say that women cannot enter the camp, and it would be bad luck for this princess to enter the camp. Very good! Since there is such a saying, today, let you see the reason why this princess can enter the camp openly."
