Chapter 1384 The Proud Fourth Prince
"Now, let's go!"
At the command of the King of Zhennan, 200,000 troops rushed out of the camp like a flood, rolling up smoke and dust, like a long dragon of people, rushing towards the border Shanyin Pass.
At the front of the team, someone was holding a big flag fluttering in the wind, with three big characters written on it: King of Zhennan!
...
The residence of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince stood with his hands behind his back, and below him, a subordinate was reporting: "Your Highness, 200,000 troops have set out from the outskirts of Yaohai City and rushed to Shanyin Pass."
The fourth prince turned around and sneered: "200,000 troops, what's the use! The coalition forces of Qianren and Dongyue have a total of one million people, and 200,000 troops are just their appetizers!"
"Your Highness, but what if they ask the King of Zhennan to come out and lead the troops again?"
A trusted aide asked. To be honest, the image of the King of Zhennan as a god of war is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. If the millions of troops of Qianren and Dongyue are afraid of something, they can only be afraid of the King of Zhennan.
"That's impossible."
The fourth prince sneered, "There have been rumors for a long time that the King of Zhennan has been staying indoors for the past few years and is actually sick. A while ago, I sent people to investigate the clues and found that it was mostly true. The King of Zhennan is really sick and it is impossible for him to lead the troops to fight."
However, just as the fourth prince finished speaking, a subordinate rushed in.
"Report to your highness, the news just received is that the King of Zhennan has come out again and led 200,000 troops to Shanyin Pass!"
"What?"
The fourth prince's face changed, and he subconsciously whispered, "How is it possible? The King of Zhennan is sick and can't lead troops to fight!"
"Your highness, it's true, the King of Zhennan has really come out, and the 200,000 troops have all raised the King of Zhennan's banner. And looking at the King of Zhennan, he doesn't look sick."
The subordinates reported repeatedly.
The Fourth Prince's face was uncertain. After a long time, he snorted coldly and said, "It seems that Yaohai Kingdom is really empty-handed. The King of Zhennan was sick, but he still forced himself to come out. He pretended to be healthy, probably because he didn't want to disrupt the morale of the army."
Then, the Fourth Prince waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the King of Zhennan came out with illness, there is nothing to worry about!"
Then, the Fourth Prince's eyes flashed with brilliance again, and he continued, "What's more, even if the King of Zhennan was in his prime, he definitely didn't have the ability to fight against a million troops with 200,000 troops! So, whether there is the King of Zhennan or not, the result is the same!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, you are about to get what you want."
The subordinates congratulated one after another.
"When the Prince of Zhennan and the so-called 200,000 troops are defeated by the armies of Qianren and Dongyue, my father will naturally find that it was a wrong decision to make the eldest prince the crown prince!"
"Only I have the ability to make Qianren and Dongyue withdraw their troops. Only if I am made the crown prince will they withdraw their troops!"
The fourth prince was calm and composed, with a confident look.
"Your Highness is wise!"
The subordinates all complimented him.
"I have to thank Concubine Wan for giving me this idea."
The fourth prince was also very proud.
"Your Highness, by that time, Qianren and Dongyue will not regret and not withdraw their troops, right?"
A trusted staff member asked with some concern.
That's right, the million-strong army of Qianren and Dongyue was deliberately allowed into the border of Yaohai by the Zhou family under the instructions of the fourth prince. The purpose of the fourth prince is to threaten the monarch with this. As long as the monarch appoints him as the crown prince, he can let the armies of Qianren and Dongyue leave.
However, if at that time, Qianren and Dongyue taste the sweetness and are unwilling to withdraw their troops according to the agreement with the fourth prince, it will be troublesome!
In the final analysis, the essence of the two countries' armies attacking Yaohai is just a show, but this show cannot be real, otherwise once the two countries really occupy Yaohai, what is the use of the crown prince?
"That kind of thing is impossible."
The fourth prince shook his head, "Take a step back, even if the people of the two countries regret and want to attack Yaohai on a large scale, it will not succeed."
"Because... there is a little bit of information in the information this prince gave them that is wrong. If they want to further attack Yaohai on a large scale, they will definitely be led into a trap by this prince's wrong information."
The fourth prince seemed very proud.
"Your Highness, are you talking about... the Black Wind Valley?"
The confidant was stunned and asked tentatively.
"That's right."
The fourth prince nodded leisurely.
The Black Wind Valley is a long valley next to Shanyin Pass, where black wind blows all year round. The black wind is poisonous and can make people's limbs sore and lose their ability to fight.
In addition, the black wind has a characteristic that after being absorbed by the human body, it will take about a day for the toxicity to take effect. In this way, by the time you notice it, the toxicity has already penetrated deep into the body.
And in
