After winning several battles in a row, the generals in the army became a little proud.
Many people have asked you to fight in the past few days. You are puzzled as to why the army stopped attacking.
The third prince, Qi Wei, had an ulterior motive. He followed King Bingjian closely after arriving at the camp, trying to gather all sorts of information.
He was one of the few supporters of stationing large troops.
He was afraid that he would completely defeat the barbarians. If the enemy surrendered, there would be no chance of achieving his goal.
Yesterday in the camp, many generals actively requested to fight.
"Your Majesty, we have rested for three days, why don't we continue the attack?
Although the supply of food and grass is difficult, we just need to find a tribe and defeat it.
The livestock obtained alone can make up for the shortage of food and fodder.
There’s absolutely no need to worry about that.”
"Yes, we are now full of momentum and have finally gained the upper hand.
We should make a concerted effort to completely defeat the barbarians."
"You think too simply. The barbarians are not that easy to defeat.
The reason why we were able to occupy so much territory.
㹏Li Ye’s 100,000 cavalrymen were fighting in the front.
Most of us are infantry, so we are not very mobile.
If the enemy runs away when they can't defeat us, they will wear us down.
We can occupy these lands first and shorten the enemy's range of activities.
Letting the cavalry wear down the enemy is the best approach," said King Bingjian.
“Since cavalry can fight flexibly, Your Majesty can send cavalry to attack the tribe.
We can't give all the good things to the Sixth Prince's army."
Although the general did not say it explicitly, his meaning was clear.
He believed that Li Ye was the son-in-law of the King of the Empire, and gave all opportunities to Li Ye to make merit.
King Side by Side glanced at him.
The powerful aura made the general who was speaking immediately lower his head.
King Bing Xiang said calmly, "If I remember correctly, you should be a subordinate of the Third Prince.
Since you have followed the Third Prince to support me in the battle, you should obey orders.
You think Li Ye's surprise attack can win the battle, can you too?
When the barbarians attacked before, I didn't see you send troops to resist.
Why are you so active now?"
Seeing the other party's face flushed red, King Bingjian continued: "Not only are our cavalry outnumbered, but our combat effectiveness is also far inferior to that of the enemy.
If you advance alone into deep territory, the enemy will easily find an opportunity to entangle you.
Once surrounded, the entire army will be wiped out.
Without the support and protection of cavalry, the infantry will become a target of the enemy.
If you can't run away and can't fight, there is only one way to go, death.
What is your motivation for being so eager to fight?"
These words refuted the other party, leaving him speechless.
Upon seeing this, the third prince glared at his men fiercely.
In order to show his determination to fight the enemy, the third prince asked his subordinates to join in the fight.
I didn't expect that he was just like a fool.
It doesn't matter if my request to fight was rejected.
He was so determined to ask that the cavalry go on the expedition alone.
It's really embarrassing for myself.
The Third Prince quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I will teach him a lesson later.
Since we have all come to support, we must obey the prince's orders."
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has spoken, I just explained the current situation to him.
It's not easy to defeat the barbarians.
If you become complacent because of a few small victories, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."
The King and the Third Prince gave him a scolding, but did not continue to provoke him.
After all, he is a prince and we cannot let him lose face in front of the generals.
The Third Prince rolled his eyes and said, "We came here to provide support, but where has Li Ye gone?
Not only was there no sign of him, his army also refused to come to meet the prince.
Since the prince has been named the Grand Marshal, it is only natural that all armies should be led by him."
King Bing Xiang also looked a little worried at this moment.
Received the news that Li Ye was under siege.
He was also very worried about Li Ye's safety.
Many people were sent to search and inquire, but there was no news at all.
“I haven’t heard from him yet, perhaps because his current situation is quite urgent.
There was not even time to inform us.
I hope that sending troops can relieve some of the pressure on him."
The third prince pretended to be a loving brother.
He also sighed, showing a lot of worry.
"I hope Li Ye can turn danger into safety and reunite with us soon.
If the prince has any news about him, please tell me immediately."
"Okay, Your Highness, don't worry. I will tell you when I have news."
A hint of vigilance flashed in King Side by Side's eyes.
It was clear from the beginning that the Third Prince had no good intentions in coming to support.
I have been inquiring about the situation in the military camp these days.
King Bingxiu has been secretly on guard against him.
It's so obvious, how can you not see it?
King Bing Jian said to all the generals: "We must proceed steadily and cautiously this time, and you don't need to rush.
We must wait until the battle situation becomes clear before taking action.
But there can be no slackness before that.
The enemy may attack at any time.
All soldiers are not allowed to take off their armor when sleeping at night."
"Yes!" All the generals answered in unison.
The third prince returned to his tent with an extremely grim expression.
He inquired about the situation in the military camp many times, but was always rejected by King Bingxiang with various excuses.
He didn't find any really useful information.
This made him furious.
"This old guy is determined to be with Li Ye.
This prince was so good to him before, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
When I inherit the throne, I will definitely deal with you first."
While he was cursing, one of his men quickly ran over and whispered in the Third Prince's ear, "Your Highness, someone from Yunlu Pavilion is here."
"How did he get to the military camp? Did no one else notice him?"
The third prince was startled.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This person is disguised as a soldier in the military camp. No one will notice him."
"Well, let him come in quickly. You keep watch outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"yes!"
A soldier came over and saluted the Third Prince: "I, Li Yang, greet His Highness the Third Prince."
The Third Prince frowned and asked, "Why did they send you here? Why didn't Wushuang come here in person?"
"My wife has other matters to attend to, and the Great Elder sent me here."
When the Third Prince heard that it was the people sent by the Grand Elder of Yunlu Pavilion, his attitude became much better.
"Oh, since the Great Elder sent someone here, they must have important business."
"That's right! Our Great Elder never imagined that the Dayuan court would actually send troops to attack the barbarians.
The Sixth Prince's military strength is beyond imagination.
Attacked from both sides, the barbarians were under great pressure.
So the Great Elder decided to attack the armies of the fifth and sixth princes first.
I hope the third prince can help me find out the movements of the imperial army.
This will allow the barbarians to prepare in advance and avoid a decisive battle with the powerful army."
The third prince remained silent after hearing this.
He was considering whether it was worthwhile and the risks involved.
If he informed the enemy of the news and it was leaked, he would be severely punished even if he was a prince.
Although he will not lose his life, he will definitely lose all his status, let alone inheriting Huawei.
