"Haha, how can I fail when this general takes action?" Tie Shicheng laughed heartily and said, "Pei Zhong's head is inside the city. Prince Dongfang, please follow me into Hangu Pass!"
"Okay! Please!" Dongfang Ming was in a good mood and immediately prepared to lead people in.
"Prince, be careful of a trap!" Behind him, a general blocked Dongfang Ming's way.
"How dare you!" Dongfang Ming was furious.
"Damn it! I'm the commander-in-chief, and you're just a dog beside my father. It's ok to just bark at me behind closed doors, but today, you're embarrassing me in public!"
The general being yelled at by Dongfang Ming clearly didn't take the Crown Prince's anger to heart and continued, "Who knows if this is an enemy plot? Crown Prince, Chai Jing's military power has been stripped away for years, and many people haven't even seen him. How do you know this man is Chai Jing?"
"General Zuo, are you determined to contradict this prince here today?"
He had received news not long ago that the Left General beside his father had begun to interact with the Crown Prince Dongfang Xing, so he knew without even thinking about it that this person was trying to stop him because he couldn't bear to see him achieve military success! Because if he did achieve military success, Dongfang Xing would have no hope!
At this moment, in front of Dongfang Ming, the real enemy was no longer Nanyue, but the annoying person in front of him.
"Prince, calm down. Although the Emperor has appointed you as commander-in-chief, he has also ordered me to supervise the army. If you do anything wrong, I have the right to question you. Your Highness, if the South Vietnamese are acting rashly, we won't be able to get out once we enter. Please send someone in to investigate first."
"Whether or not to investigate is my business. I don't need you embarrassing me in such a situation. Come, bring General Zuo away to me. Without my order, you are not allowed to embarrass yourself again!"
"Prince! I am appointed by the Emperor!"
"Even if you are the emperor, this won't work!"
Dongfang Ming roared, then gave a wink to the guards around him, who immediately rushed forward, ready to capture the Left General.
"How dare you! Who dares to kidnap me? Are you so bold?" General Zuo was furious. He threw away the prince's guards with one arm and roared, "Anyone who dares to touch me will be killed immediately!"
After saying this, General Zuo turned to Dongfang Ming and said, "Prince, you are being rude! What was wrong with what I just said? When two armies are facing each other, isn't it right to be on guard against each other? Humph! I have the Emperor's order, but it's not the Crown Prince's right to just say and tie someone up."
The Left General had always looked down on Dongfang Ming. On the one hand, it was because Emperor Dongxiang was in good health and would not die for a while. On the other hand, he felt that the eldest prince Dongfang Xing was much more stable than the crown prince, so deep down, he looked down on the crown prince.
In addition, there are too many variables in South Vietnam now. He felt that things were going to change since Qian Yeming ascended the throne, so two months ago he began to urge Dongfang Ming to lead the army to retreat first and wait and see before making any decisions.
As a result, the conflict between the two had been lurking for two months and had gradually become deeper and more acute, reaching a point of tit-for-tat and a stalemate.
What had happened today in front of the South Vietnamese soldiers was nothing but the accumulation of resentment over the past few months.
"Okay, okay!" Dongfang Ming nodded and said "okay" three times in a row.
