Chapter 5240 Ambush

"

"If the eldest prince and the second prince have a bloody fight, they will think of winning my support, and my status will be further improved, making it much easier to do things in the future."

Feng Qingyun's eyes lit up.

That's right, the Zuo Army actually released so many evil cultivators to attack Yuanbeiguan. Even if they had enough excuses, they couldn't stop the eldest prince and his men from launching an attack.

Those who want to come to the eldest prince and others will definitely use this border battle to attack the commander of the left army, and even want to take his position. Naturally, the second prince will not allow it. The two sides will definitely use the border battle to quarrel. Earth-shaking.

After all, this battle also cost a lot of casualties. The resistance of the two evil kings and the aftermath of the battle between the top experts also cost Shenxia thousands of casualties.

It is obviously a war far away in northern Xinjiang, but it is very likely to cause a storm in Tiancheng.

"But……"

Feng Qingyun suddenly realized something was wrong and said: "We are above the border and did not go down to help. We just used formations and other help. Won't we be criticized by others?"

Ye Wudao smiled slightly: "Criticize? On the contrary, they will praise me."

Feng Qingyun was confused: "Why?"

Ye Wudao smiled and said: "First, we must not lose the border pass. If we come down from the border pass and the evil cultivator chooses to break through the border pass, once we succeed, entering our territory will be like letting a fish into the sea. It will be a big mistake."

"If someone dares to accuse us, this alone can refute it and leave them speechless. So instead of accusing me, they will say that I have made meritorious service at the border."

"However, after all, I am not the main battler, so if they take the real credit, I can at most take some small credit."

Ye Wudao was still very satisfied with the result of this victory. He controlled the overall situation, not his own gains and losses. If he wanted to achieve military success, there were actually more ways at that time.

However, because of this, he might offend the former army and Zhongjun. In addition, he was originally at odds with the Second Princess, and even Qi Ruhai was his apparent opponent. Then, if he offended everyone, he would be killed in a few days. Something will happen.

So he just ignored everything and let them argue. As for the great merit, he gave it to the former army and Ziyang Taoist Immortal.

After Feng Qingyun heard this, her face was full of admiration for Ye Wudao. She didn't expect Ye Wudao to be so thoughtful. The only thing he didn't expect was the appearance of Qi Ruhai.

Soon after, someone from the Ministry of War came and asked Ye Wudao about the details of the war.

Ye Wudao said lightly: "It's not convenient to disclose."

Just five words drove away the people from the Ministry of War.

Immediately, he wrote a secret note and asked someone to take it to Tiancheng.

The secret report described everything that happened after he arrived at the border, as well as all his judgments, including the secret order. He also wrote down the details of the secret order. He also wrote down the story of the war truthfully.

Many forces were taking action because of this great victory, but Ye Wudao only sent a secret report and there was no movement. He even asked Feng Qingyun and Yuexue to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

By the afternoon of the next day, Ye Wudao received the information. In the Celestial City, the eldest prince and the second princess had a quarrel.

The Holy Emperor held a court meeting, and the two sides argued endlessly in the court hall. As expected, the eldest prince's people took the initiative to attack the Zuo Army, saying that the commander of the Zuo Army would not be able to take on the important task. If his troops had not set up an ambush in advance, this time they would have been defeated.

Naturally, the eldest prince also took all the credit on himself. His people told the outside world that it was he who made the judgment after understanding the situation at the rear and asked the generals from Ziyang Daoxian to lead his troops to set up an ambush.
