Prince Qin immediately understood the meaning of Luo Xuan's words.
The Baiyu tribe members were just as he expected. A group of women were just good at showing off their skills. Weren't they defeated by the Luo family army?
Luo Xuan noticed this and wanted to give him a chance to establish his prestige in front of the soldiers in the South Camp so that he could gain a firm foothold!
"General Luo is truly mighty, having fought such a brilliant battle. Our soldiers from the South Camp are naturally no less capable. Soldiers of the South Camp, listen to my orders and follow me as we continue our assault into the village!"
Luo Xuan's victory boosted the morale of the soldiers in the South Camp, and they continued to move forward in a mighty force.
Only the deputy general of the South Camp frowned.
He always felt that there was something fishy. If the Luo family army was really so brave, why didn't they capture the Baiyu tribe guards at the beginning, but waited until their General Qin died before taking action?
However, seeing how confident and determined Prince Qin was, the deputy general had no choice but to swallow his doubts for the time being.
The army moved forward unhindered until they arrived in front of two large mountains.
Anyone who has been on the march for many years would immediately become alert when seeing this terrain.
The deputy general immediately stepped forward and stopped Prince Qin, who was still not at all vigilant.
"This is a narrow passage. The enemy is very likely to have laid an ambush in the mountains and set up a trap to launch a surprise attack. Prince, please do not move forward. It would be better to send someone to investigate."
Prince Qin immediately pulled the reins: "Are you serious? Why don't you send someone to investigate?"
The deputy general sent three people to investigate, but none of them returned.
"Sir, there might be a trap ahead. I think we should withdraw our troops and make plans later!"
Prince Qin looked at the narrow road in Yixiantian and felt a little unsure. He then looked at Luo Xuan and said, "General Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Xuan smiled: "This southern border is peaceful. In our northern border, for the safety of the people, we always go to the tiger mountain even though we know there is a tiger there."
Prince Qin naturally understood what Luo Xuan meant and glared at the deputy general fiercely: "Shame on you!"
The deputy general was furious and resentful: "General Luo, it's easy for you to say that. Why don't you send someone to lead the charge? Your every word is urging the Crown Prince to advance recklessly. What is General Luo's motive?"
Luo Xuan laughed even harder: "My Lord, it seems that I treat you as a family member. Some people don't help us treat you as a family."
"Alright, then I will personally send someone to capture this narrow sliver of sky. However, if the soldiers of the Southern Camp mock you for your cowardice and lack of strategy, don't blame me for stealing your limelight today."
The four words "cowardly and unwise" deeply irritated Prince Qin. He had been a favored child since childhood, and what he hated most was others looking down on him.
"General Luo, please stay. The soldiers of the North Camp have just won a brilliant victory. Now it's naturally time for our brothers from the South Camp to lead the charge. Otherwise, if outsiders learn of this, won't they think we're bullying our brothers from the North Camp?"
After saying this, Prince Qin glared at his deputy general: "No venture, no gain. Even I understand this principle, don't you, Deputy General Li?"
The deputy general was almost pissed off to death by Prince Qin. He had finally managed to divert his anger towards Luo Xuan, but how could he be diverted back by the prince again?
He was about to say something else when he heard Prince Qin speak again: "Lieutenant General Li, listen to my orders. I command you to lead your men to capture Yixiantian immediately. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be executed!"
Lieutenant General Li suspected that he had heard wrongly. This young man, whom he had watched grow up and even taught him martial arts, actually threatened to kill him!
Whatever, if no blood is shed, their prince will probably never grow up. It’s a pity that the brothers will die in vain!
"I obey your command." Lieutenant General Li almost gritted his teeth and accepted the military order.
Lieutenant General Li had experience in the battlefield. He divided everyone into five teams and only allowed one team of more than 200 people to go in to investigate the situation. The goal was to bring back the situation alive no matter what.
Half an hour later, there was finally movement in the narrow passage.
A bloody warhorse rushed out from inside, and on the horse was a warrior covered in blood. Countless arrows had pierced the warrior into a hedgehog.
Lieutenant General Li was stunned and hurried over to inquire about the situation.
The soldier uttered four words with trembling lips: "Extremely dangerous." Then he stopped breathing.
Lieutenant General Li looked at the river of blood flowing out along the narrow path through the sky, and his heart began to beat violently.
These soldiers, like the prince, grew up under his care. They fought hard on the battlefield and barely survived, but died under the prince's absurd orders.
If the blood of these soldiers can really awaken the prince and help him grow, it would be worth it.
I’m afraid…
Lieutenant General Li gritted his teeth and brought the soldier's body to Prince Qin.
At this moment, Prince Qin was chatting and laughing with Luo Xuan, discussing the dowry and gifts for the marriage, as well as how to cooperate in the future and plan for the high position.
When he suddenly saw the bloody corpse, Prince Qin was so scared that he almost fell off his horse. It was only with Luo Xuan's support that he was able to sit still.
"Deputy General Li, do you want to murder this prince?!" Prince Qin shouted angrily.
Lieutenant General Li was filled with grief. "Sir, it was this soldier who paid with his blood for the information about the narrow passage. It is extremely dangerous inside. You must not take another step forward!"
Prince Qin glanced at the corpse and frowned. "Are you serious? Are you lying to me?"
Lieutenant General Li kowtowed to the ground and said, "The Southern Camp lost over two hundred soldiers in this battle. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
Prince Qin hesitated. He didn't want to end up like the soldier.
"General Luo, what do you think?" Prince Qin asked Luo Xuan for his opinion again.
Lieutenant General Li was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. The lives of so many soldiers were sacrificed, but their prince still couldn't be awakened. It was obvious that Luo Xuan had bad intentions!
Luo Xuan sighed, and hesitated several times to speak: "My Lord, it is really difficult for me to get involved in your family affairs. If I say too much, I am afraid that I will be misunderstood as trying to sow discord."
Lieutenant General Li was so angry that he laughed again. He really confessed himself!
But then Prince Qin roared, "Let's see who dares to speak nonsense! General Luo, you can speak freely."
Vice General Li:...
"The White Feather Clan has a full 500 guards, but Lieutenant General Li only sent 200 to fight. After losing, he even blamed you, the Crown Prince, for your poor command, causing the soldiers to lose their lives. I simply cannot bear to think about what Lieutenant General Li's intentions are..."
Upon hearing this, Prince Qin flew into a rage: "Deputy General Li, you've already harbored ulterior motives, wanting to seize the Southern Camp for yourself, and that's why you're deliberately targeting me?"
Lieutenant General Li's passion at this moment had turned into an underwater glacier. He asked Prince Qin with a sneer.
"Then what do you think I should do, Your Majesty?"
