Chapter 1,384 The Proud Fourth Prince
"Now, let's go!"
King Zhennan gave an order, and 200,000 troops surged out of the camp like a flood, rolling up smoke and dust, like a long dragon of people, rushing towards the Shanyin Pass on the border.
And at the front of the team, someone was holding a large flag fluttering in the wind, with three characters written on it: King of Zhennan!
…
The fourth prince's residence.
The fourth prince stood with his hands behind his back, and below him, a subordinate was reporting: "Your Highness, an army of 200,000 has set off from the outskirts of Yaohai City and headed for Shanyin Pass."
The fourth prince turned around and sneered: "The army of two hundred thousand is useless! The coalition forces of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom have millions in number, and the army of two hundred thousand is just their appetizer." vegetable!"
"Your Highness, but what if they ask King Zhennan to come back and lead the army again?"
A close aide asked, To be honest, the image of King Zhennan as the God of War is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the millions of troops from Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom were afraid of anything, they could only be afraid of King Zhennan.
"That can't happen."
The fourth prince sneered, "There have been rumors for a long time. It is rumored that King Zhennan has been staying at home for the past few years and is actually ill. A while ago, I sent people to investigate the clues and found that most of them are true. King Zhennan is really I'm sick and can't lead the troops to fight."
However, at the moment when the fourth prince finished speaking, one of his subordinates hurried in.
"To report to Your Highness, the news I just received is that the King of Zhennan has returned from the mountain and led an army of 200,000 people towards Shanyin Pass!"
"What?"
The fourth prince's expression changed, and he subconsciously shouted, "How is it possible? King Zhennan is ill and cannot lead troops to fight!"
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. The King of Zhennan has really come out of the mountain. Two hundred thousand troops have raised the banner of King Zhennan. And the appearance of King Zhennan does not look like he is sick."
His subordinates kept complaining.
The fourth prince's face was uncertain. After a long time, he snorted coldly and said: "It seems that there is really no one left in Yaohai Kingdom. King Zhennan even forced himself out of the mountain despite being sick. He deliberately pretended not to be sick. , I probably don’t want to disturb the morale of the army.”
After saying that, the fourth prince waved his hand and said, "That's all. King Zhennan comes out of the mountain even though he is sick. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Then, the fourth prince's eyes sparkled again, and he continued, "What's more, even in the heyday of King Zhennan, he definitely did not have the ability to fight an army of two hundred thousand against an army of one million! So, whether there is King Zhennan, The result is the same!”
"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, you are about to get what you want."
The subordinates all congratulated.
"When King Zhennan and the so-called 200,000 troops are completely defeated by the troops of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom, my father will naturally realize that making the eldest prince the crown prince is a wrong decision!"
"Only I have the ability to make Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom retreat. Only by making me the crown prince will they retreat!"
The fourth prince was calm and composed, looking confident.
"Your Highness is wise!"
All his subordinates complimented him one after another.
"I have to thank Concubine Wan for giving me this idea."
The fourth prince looked very proud.
"Your Highness, when that happens, won't Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom regret it and stop withdrawing their troops?"
A close aide also asked with some concern.
That's right, the millions of troops from the Qianren Kingdom and the Dongyue Kingdom were deliberately put into the borders of the Yaohai Kingdom by the fourth prince's instructions. The purpose of the fourth prince is to blackmail the monarch. As long as the monarch appoints him as the crown prince, he can let the armies of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom leave.
However, if by that time, Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom have tasted the sweetness and refuse to retreat as agreed with the Fourth Prince, then there will be trouble!
In the final analysis, the essence of the two armies attacking Yaohai Kingdom is just a show, but this show cannot be faked, otherwise once the two countries really occupy Yaohai Kingdom, what use will the position of the crown prince be?
"There's no way that's going to happen."
The fourth prince shook his head and said, "Ten thousand steps back, even if the people of the two countries repent and want to attack Yaohai Kingdom in a large scale, it will not be possible to succeed."
"Because... some of the information I gave them was wrong. If they want to further attack the Yaohai Kingdom on a large scale, they will definitely be led into a trap by my wrong information."
The fourth prince looked very proud.
"Your Highness is talking about...the Black Wind Valley?"
The confidant was stunned and asked tentatively.
"That's right."
The fourth prince nodded leisurely.
Black Wind Valley is a long valley next to Shanyin Pass. Black wind blows in it all year round. The black wind is poisonous and can make people's limbs become weak and lose their ability to fight.
Moreover, black wind has a characteristic. After being absorbed by the human body, it takes about a day for the toxicity to occur. In this way, by the time it is noticed, the toxicity has already penetrated deeply into the body.
And in
