Chapter 1389 Just Take a Look and You Will Know
Yelu Honglin is the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, and he, Yelu Hongfei, is only the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom!
Yelu Hongfei has never forgotten this!
However, Yelu Hongfei is obviously not satisfied with such a status, and his ambition also makes him dissatisfied with it, so he will enter the military camp at a young age, with the purpose of making more contributions on the battlefield and gaining enough reputation, so that he can shake Yelu Honglin's position and achieve the purpose of replacing the other party.
Years of hard work have given Yelu Hongfei hope. He has made many contributions in the army and won the recognition of the generals in the army. At the same time, he has also won the special look of Yelu Zong, and left a very good impression among the ministers in the court.
However, Yelu Honglin is still obsessed with poetry and songs, which makes Yelu Hongfei sneer in his heart. At the same time, he is secretly glad that it is because of his "lack of ambition" as the prince brother that he has been given the opportunity.
However, things seem to have changed now. Yelu Honglin, who never liked to get involved in military affairs, suddenly got involved, and he was able to come up with such a solution to the problem, which surprised Yelu Hongfei. At the same time, Yelu Hongfei felt pressure in his heart.
In this fight for the throne, he was already at a disadvantage, because he was only the second prince, and it was very difficult to overtake on the curve. Before, he could use Yelu Honglin's "lack of ambition" to get opportunities, but what if Yelu Honglin "turned over a new leaf"? Wouldn't it be more difficult for Yelu Hongfei to compete for the throne?
The opponent "woke up", and he had to make better achievements!
"Don't worry, Second Prince." Hong Qingyun looked at Yelu Hongfei who was a little serious and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has never paid attention to military affairs before, and he doesn't know much about military affairs. It should be just a coincidence that he can make such a suggestion this time. It's too late for him to intervene in military affairs now, and he won't pose any threat to you."
Speaking so bluntly about the affairs between the two princes is very risky. Although Yelu Hongfei's ambition is almost known to everyone in the court and army of Shuiyue Kingdom, most people will not say it so bluntly. Hong Qingyun did so, obviously he has made up his mind to stand on Yelu Hongfei's side.
This is actually not surprising. Between the two princes, Hong Qingyun and Yelu Hongfei have more contact and better relationship. He has no contact with Yelu Honglin before, and Yelu Honglin may not even know that there is such a person in the army.
In addition, Yelu Honglin has always liked literature and doesn't like military generals. As a military general, Hong Qingyun naturally has a better impression of Yelu Hongfei who has been in the army for many years.
The most important point is related to Hong Qingyun's origin.
Hong Qingyun was born out of wedlock and had no status in the family. Although Yelu Hongfei was of noble status, he could be considered a "bastard". The crown prince Yelu Honglin was born to the queen and was the first heir to Shuiyue Kingdom in name.
So, in a sense, Hong Qingyun and Yelu Hongfei felt that they were in the same boat, and naturally supported Yelu Hongfei more emotionally.
Yelu Hongfei looked at Hong Qingyun with a wary look in his eyes.
"Plop!"
As if seeing the doubt in Yelu Hongfei's heart, Hong Qingyun knelt down in front of Yelu Hongfei and said, "I am willing to follow the Second Prince until death!"
"You are a general of our Shuiyue Kingdom, and you should follow my father." Yelu Hongfei said lightly.
"Your Majesty's order, I will naturally obey." Hong Qingyun said, "But I hope to work for you, the second prince, and serve you wholeheartedly."
Yelu Hongfei looked at Hong Qingyun again, and after a while he said, "You get up first."
"Yes." Hong Qingyun stood up as ordered.
"Follow me in the future, I will not treat you unfairly." Yelu Hongfei said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hong Qingyun said loudly.
"As for my prince brother, I think the same as you." Yelu Hongfei said, "Perhaps, he wants to do something to change the current situation, but it's too late to think of intervening in military affairs now, but we can't be careless."
Hearing Yelu Hongfei say "we", Hong Qingyun was quite excited. Although Yelu Hongfei certainly didn't regard him as a confidant now, he must have crossed the threshold. After that, it depends on his performance.
"This time, the matter of Yangyu Pass must be done beautifully!" Yelu Hongfei said.
Hong Qingyun said: "Since your majesty is ready to attack Yanfeng Kingdom, and is passing through here, the location of Yangyu Pass is crucial and must not fall into the hands of the Nanping people. Moreover, we can also take advantage of this opportunity to severely damage the army of Nanping Kingdom, and then take over Shanling Pass of Nanping Kingdom to make full preparations for your majesty's attack on Yanfeng Kingdom."
Yelü Hongfei nodded in agreement and said: "Your idea is the same as mine. Since the emperor has decided to attack Yanfeng Kingdom from here, we will open up this road and prepare for the attack of the army in the future. Therefore, we must take over Shanling Pass of Nanping Kingdom!"
"It's just that Zhao Guangzhi seems to be hiding something about Nanping Kingdom. I don't know if it will affect our plan." Hong Qingyun said.
"Zhao Guangzhi is a jerk." Yelu Hongfei sneered, "If my estimate is correct, he must have exaggerated the army of Nanping. The army of Nanping is definitely not as large as he said. The reason why he said that is that he must want their emperor to send troops to support him as soon as possible."
It must be said that Yelu Hongfei's judgment is quite accurate. Zhao Guangzhi deliberately exaggerated the army of Nanping at the beginning, just to make Qi Feng pay attention to it and send troops to support him as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also good to embellish his own merits after the war.
However, Yelu Hongfei obviously did not expect that there was no army from Nanping at all. Everything was just a lie made up by Zhao Guangzhi in panic.
Hong Qingyun nodded in agreement. He did not think that if Nanping really used all its national strength to attack, Zhao Guangzhi and his men would be able to defend Yangyu Pass until they arrived.
Dangdangdang!
Just when Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun were guessing how many troops of Nanping had come, a crisp and chaotic gong sounded outside.
"The people of Nanping are attacking the city!"
"All soldiers gather on the city walls, everyone go up to the city walls immediately!"
"Close the city gates and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Shouts came one after another, and Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun looked at each other, their eyes bright.
Just one look and you'll know how many troops of Nanping have come!
