"Stop being in a daze, pack up quickly and follow me!
Your Majesty's order is urgent and we cannot disobey it!"
Li Ye said.
"I don't have any preparations. This sword is enough!" Lin Yue answered simply.
Xiao Cui was very anxious: "How could the emperor give such an order? Your Highness has never led troops in battle. This is too dangerous."
"It's okay, just pack your luggage, a change of clothes, and don't bring too much.
By the way, be sure to bring a few more cooks.
"Going out on the march and fighting is hard enough, and if you don't have enough food to eat, it's even harder." Li Ye said.
"Leading soldiers to fight and bringing a cook with you!" Although Lin Yue didn't know how to lead an army, he felt that this was a bit outrageous.
"Just listen to me and do what I say!"
Li Ye did not explain much.
Start thinking about how to solve the current dilemma.
It can not only complete the emperor's orders, but also not arouse the hostility of others.
“What a headache!”
There was a gleam in Mr. Xiao's eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He also wanted to know how Li Ye would break the deadlock.
"I would like to accompany Your Highness to the frontier, is that possible?
However, I will only watch from the sidelines. Unless Your Highness's life is in danger, I will never take action."
"If you want to go ahead, go ahead. Even if I refuse, I'm afraid I can't stop you." Li Ye simply agreed.
Don't miss out on free bodyguards.
Li Ye even suspected that Mr. Xiao could take down the entire village by himself.
Taking him with you will give you an extra layer of security.
"Okay, I'll bring more wine!"
The news that the emperor ordered Li Ye to suppress the bandits quickly spread throughout the capital.
Almost all officials were extremely shocked.
The Sixth Prince's behavior at the time was obvious to all. He had no interest in anything except making money.
Why did the emperor assign him such a task?
I can't figure it out.
The prince was released.
I was also very confused when I heard the news.
But the prince's teacher helped him explain the key points.
The situation is similar to Mr. Xiao’s analysis.
After all, as the prince's teacher, he helps with advice and controls all the prince's power.
The ability to detect information is also very strong.
"It seems that the Emperor has become more concerned about the Sixth Prince and wants to test his ability to lead troops.
If he does well, he might be able to shake the foundation of the crown prince.
This Sixth Prince deceived everyone and his control over power was not bad at all.
It is said that money makes the world go round.
The Sixth Prince controls the lifeblood of the army..."
Originally, the prince treated Li Ye very badly because he had offended Shi Wushuang.
When he heard that Li Ye posed a threat to him, he immediately regarded him as a formidable rival.
"Anyone who poses a threat to me must not be let off!
Teacher, do you have any good ideas?
Can we let Li Ye die in this bandit suppression campaign?"
"I think so too. We have people in the Ministry of War who can help us in this regard.
At the same time, the whereabouts of the army were revealed to the bandits.
Tell them to kill Li Ye at all costs.
Of course!
The bandits must not be told that Li Ye is a prince.
As long as the bandits kill Li Ye, the prince will lead the Qin army to suppress the bandits.
With our strength and the support of the previous life's Wushuang Gongzi, it will not be difficult to wipe out the bandits.
The Crown Prince has made great contributions and avenged the Sixth Prince. His prestige in the court will surely be greatly enhanced."
"That's a good idea! Let's get someone to make arrangements right away."
Qin Qingxue was also extremely puzzled when she heard the news.
"Your Majesty, what exactly is your intention in having Li Ye suppress the bandits?
How can he lead troops?"
"It's really strange. It's hard not to think that he abandoned him for you and still harbors a grudge against you.
Want to use this method to suppress you?"
There is no one like him in the world.
"Hmph, that's probably the case! He seems magnanimous on the surface, but in fact, he can't let it go in his heart.
He thinks too highly of himself, and this bandit suppression campaign is bound to fail."
Qin Qingxue showed a pleased expression on her face, and she wanted to see Li Ye lose.
"It is hard to believe that Your Majesty would agree to such an absurd thing.
Let’s just wait and see what happens!”
Shi Wushuang was moved and hated Li Ye very much.
I was thinking about how to deal with Li Ye.
Unexpectedly, he ended up seeking his own death.
Even if you come back alive, you will become a laughing stock.
Li Ye first went to the Ministry of War and received the military order.
The emperor asked him to suppress the bandits and gave him 5,000 soldiers.
This number is neither too many nor too few.
A frontal battle would definitely defeat the bandits, but these bandits were entrenched in Vulture Mountain.
The terrain is extremely complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If we want to wipe them out, this amount of troops is not enough.
But no matter how many troops he had, he would not be able to exert his influence in Vulture Mountain.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so many years to eliminate all the bandits there.
Li Ye did not worry too much about the number of troops.
He came to the garrison with the military token.
Seeing the army being prepared, Lin Yue's face changed drastically and he immediately became angry.
"The Ministry of War is going too far. Why are they giving such old, weak, and disabled soldiers?"
Li Ye had no expression on his face.
He knew that leading the troops had already aroused the hostility of others.
Want to get rid of myself as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, how can these old soldiers fight? Why don't you ask the emperor for mercy?" Xiao Cui also persuaded him.
Mr. Xiao stood by without saying a word, taking a sip of wine from his wine gourd from time to time.
He looked like he was just looking for fun.
"No, I think these soldiers are useful!"
After hearing what Li Ye said, Ling Yue and Xiao Cui simply couldn't believe their ears.
"Your Highness, you don't really want to take these old, weak, and disabled soldiers with you to suppress the bandits, do you?"
"Well, since it was arranged by the Ministry of War, they will naturally be in charge.
This prince only needs to follow the arrangements."
Li Ye nodded seriously.
In fact, I already have an idea in mind.
By taking the remaining troops with us, we would have a sufficient excuse even if we were defeated.
What's more, Li Ye had no intention of really fighting the bandits.
Li Ye said to the guards at the palace: "Let all the soldiers gather, this prince wants to give them a lecture."
"Yes!" The guard stepped forward and loudly conveyed the order.
These soldiers looked listless and lifeless.
Like puppets, they were called upon to line up in a queue.
Asking them to fight is almost like sending them to their own deaths.
I have already lost all hope.
Li Ye knew that this wouldn't do.
No matter how bad a soldier is, he must maintain his fighting spirit.
After the troops had assembled, he mounted his horse and came before the army.
He said loudly: "This prince has received the decree from His Majesty and has been appointed as the general to suppress bandits.
Lead the vanguards to wipe out the bandits in Vulture Mountain.
This is a good opportunity to make a contribution!
As long as they return victorious, this prince will ensure that everyone will be rewarded."
After Li Ye finished speaking, he received no response.
The army remained lifeless.
Li Ye smiled slightly: "Do you all think that this prince was suppressed by others, so you sent me these old soldiers and generals?
Or do you think that the imperial court is trying to save money by deliberately sending you to your deaths to save on pensions?
No, this prince doesn’t think so!
In this prince's opinion, all the soldiers present are the elite generals of our Dayuan Dynasty."
Li Ye's words really aroused the soldiers' interest.
They all looked up in surprise at Li Ye.
They are clearly a burden to the army, yet the prince calls them good generals. What is going on?
Or do you want to fool them?
I was totally confused for a moment.
