Huang Feng naturally learned the news soon, and after knowing it, he thought about it for a while and told the news to the Eighth Prince.
"Where did you get the news? Is the news reliable?" The Eighth Prince asked: "I also arranged for scouts, but I didn't notice any changes in the rebels."
Although the Eighth Prince is not very familiar with marching and fighting, he knows this when dispatching scouts. This can be said to be common sense, not to mention that he usually likes to read books and is not unfamiliar with such things. .
According to the news he received, the main force of the rebels had already assembled, and they were waiting for the imperial army to pass by in the city they occupied.
In the eyes of the Eighth Prince, this news is not a problem. Although the rebels are very powerful, they will definitely suffer a loss if they lack cavalry and fight in the open. Moreover, they can use the city to reduce casualties and consume the court. The power here, not to mention, they should already know that the court regards the battle for the city as the content of the assessment of the three princes, so they will stick to the city even more, which is the most beneficial for them. ,
Therefore, after learning the news from the scout, the eighth prince did not doubt, because it echoed the facts and logic.
But now, Huang Feng gave him different news, which made the Eighth Prince puzzled. He was puzzled. How did Huang Feng get this news? After all, Huang Feng is just a powerful one in his eyes. It’s just an escort, it’s impossible to have his own team, then, through what channel did he get the news?
In addition, he was also puzzled about the authenticity of the news, which was different from what he had received. Therefore, there must be a true news and a false news in it. The Eighth Prince didn’t know which one was the true news. , However, he is obviously more inclined to believe the news he has obtained.
"I have my own channels to get news, and I can guarantee that this news is absolutely correct." Huang Feng said: "The main force of the rebels has left those cities. They go to the eldest prince and the third prince. It's time to ambush the two princes, and this is our opportunity."
"Opportunity, what opportunity?" the Eighth Prince asked.
"The opportunity to seize the city!" Huang Feng said: "The main force of the rebels has already left. Although there are still defenders in those cities, and there may be a lot of them, they are all people with little combat power, so , As long as there is an elite force to launch a surprise attack, it will surely be able to take back those cities in one fell swoop! In that case, the Eighth Prince, you will have won the competition."
Hearing what Huang Feng said, the Eighth Prince was a little moved. After all, he was able to take the initiative to request to participate in this assessment. Obviously, he had thoughts about the throne. Now, Huang Feng came up with a plan that moved his heart. To be able to take back those cities, no matter what the final result is, he has already won the final competition, which is still very important to him and very tempting.
"But, can you guarantee that those cities do not have their main force?" Although he was very moved by what Huang Feng said, but the eighth prince couldn't believe the channels through which Huang Feng got the news. Once the surprise attack failed, then he would He will lose his army and lose his generals. At that time, his strength will be greatly damaged. He may have to withdraw from the assessment ahead of time, and the throne will be completely goodbye to him.
Therefore, if you follow Huang Feng's suggestion, if you send an elite force to make a surprise attack, then you are taking a risk. If you succeed, it is okay. If you fail, then it means that his assessment has failed this time.
Therefore, this was a big bet, which made the Eighth Prince hesitate. Even if he had already attached great importance to Huang Feng before, he still seemed a little hesitant in the face of this situation.
"I can guarantee this." Huang Feng said: "As you said before, the first prince and the third prince are already in front of you, and their status in the court is higher than you. If you don't bet If you put it, in the end, you will definitely be the one who fails."
Huang Feng's words made the Eighth Prince's face a little ugly, but he also knew in his heart that what Huang Feng said was true. If he were to proceed step by step, then the person who lost was likely to be him.
So, really want to take a gamble?
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." Huang Feng continued: "You only need to send an elite cavalry to break away from the large army, and go ahead. I will be around those cities and be prepared to ensure that your people will go well. Entering the city, if there is no way to enter the city, you can completely let your people stay outside the city instead of attacking the city."
"Are you in front?" The Eighth Prince looked at Huang Feng in surprise.
"Yeah." Huang Feng nodded.
"Princess Qi's person?" the Eighth Prince asked.
"Not bad." Huang Feng said, although those people are his, but I believe that even if he said that, the Eighth Prince would not believe it. It would be better to say that it was Princess Qi. In this case, the Eighth Prince would be better. Easy to believe.
Sure enough, after hearing Huang Feng's words, the Eighth Prince didn't have much doubt on his face. In fact, there were always people guessing about the number of people around Princess Qi, but no one was sure.
However, Princess Qi can easily catch Wu Yan and destroy the Wu family. In the eyes of everyone, Princess Qi must have a team that only obeys her orders. It is this team that secretly helped him. Let her easily destroy the Wu family and control the entire court.
Therefore, now that Huang Feng said, the Eighth Prince did not have the slightest doubt, but rather excited.
"Okay, I listen to you!" The Eighth Prince did not hesitate too much. He took all this as Princess Qi's arrangement. Since Princess Qi has already arranged, then he just needs to listen, even in the end. If he fails, he can't be blamed. I believe Princess Qi won't blame him.
Therefore, the Eighth Prince immediately dispatched an elite cavalry team to visit the new year. Under Huang Feng's order, he went to the city ahead first. However, for this team, Huang Feng asked them to hide their whereabouts as much as possible when they were on the road. Let the enemy find out in advance that these people naturally dare not listen to Huang Feng's orders with the eighth prince's orders in advance.
As a result, these people separated from the large army and moved forward, and the large army still moved forward according to the original route. However, the speed was slightly faster, but it still did not reach the level of rapid march.
