Xiao Shaorong and the other loyal followers had long hoped that the Duke would take them to a big fight and take revenge for all the hatred they had towards each other. However, the Duke had always been calm and unhurried, without any thoughts of conquering the world.
The prince had his own thoughts, and the prince had his own thoughts. As his subordinates, they couldn't force the prince to do something that went against his own wishes.
In that case, who was the master and who was the servant?
So what if Nan Jin Zhao was a hard nut to crack?
When they were fighting Nan Jin Zhao, the Sky Martial Emperor and Beichen Tianque, they would definitely take the chance to make a move.
Nan Jin Zhao and the others had already made up their minds. No matter how strong or dangerous, they would still fight him first to avenge their dead brother.
And the Emperor.
A despicable and shameless villain was not worth their loyalty, much less their prince's humiliation. A coward like the Emperor, what right did he have to say that the Prince was not one? Why should they be convicted?
What qualifications did he have?
"The prince will be back in half a month. For this half month, all of you should train your troops well. At that time, the Prince will surely choose the strongest to attack the capital. " Xiao Shaorong knew that these people were anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he was not lacking in time.
Before the troops moved, the food was the first to arrive.
No one knew where Princess Hua-Yang had gotten a large amount of food and seeds. They were not lacking in food and resources, but it did not mean that they could keep up with the frontlines.
In order to fight a war, one had to first ensure that they had sufficient provisions. Only half a month of preparation was needed, and that was not a lot …
"General Xiao, don't worry. We will definitely practice. We will definitely not disappoint His Highness." The Yanbei high-ranking officer patted his chest in assurance, showing no fear at all.
As for the other high-ranking officers, they couldn't do anything, so they wanted to join the battle as well. Only by participating would they be able to gain merits, and only after doing meritorious deeds would there be a reward.
His Royal Highness had made his intentions clear. If they were able to achieve great deeds at this time, even if they were unable to become kings, they could still occupy a good position. However …
They couldn't win over Yanbei Army!
Be it in terms of strength or loyalty, they were not a match for the Yanbei Army.
Relying on relationships?
The Yanbei Army was the direct descendant of the King. In terms of relationship, who could be stronger than them?
Xiao Shaorong was very careful. As soon as those people's eyelids twitched, he could guess what they were worried about, and sent those elders of Yanbei away, while Xiao Shaorong intentionally kept these generals with extraordinary powers who went to the Duke Realm for support.
They may not be as strong as the Yanbei Army, but they can't hold up the numbers.
Your Highness has a greater tacit understanding. " Xiao Shaorong said this in a very tactful manner, but …
Everyone present understood that the Yanbei Army was definitely in front of them and would suffer a great loss. They followed behind the Prince and performed well, so the Prince would be able to see them.
The group of generals understood, and they said one after the other, "It is our honor to be by your side and study a lot to be able to work for you."
Speaking of which, no one could find anything wrong with the way the prince and his wife did things.
Just as Xiao Shaorong had said, if the King wanted to fight, his direct descendants would always be at the forefront, carrying out the hardest and most grievous of missions, while they would have to take advantage by following behind him.
Just because of this, they couldn't accept the fact that they had the ability of a prince.
Didn't you see Nan Jin Zhao?
He also recruited a lot of people, but how did Nan Jin Zhao deal with those people?
Anyone who wanted to eat well was the first to die.
In order to test the prince's strength, Nan Jin Zhao had pushed all those who had sided with him to the front lines to their deaths. Compared to the prince, they really were on the ground, one in the sky while the other in the sky.
Here, you will never be sent to the battlefield if you don't train properly. Even if you want to, you won't be allowed to go to the battlefield.
Like Princess Hua-Yang had said, rather than sending those who were not strong enough to die on the battlefield, it was better to leave them behind to farm, and use them as much as they could.
The Duke and Duchess had high requirements for their subordinates, and there was no need to talk about Yanbei Army's requirements.
When the Yanbei Army was in the hands of the Prince, they had always been the vanguard, but their casualties were the lowest among all the military types …
It was not that the Duke was biased towards them, but that the Yanbei Army was strong and experienced. On the battlefield, even if they couldn't obtain victory, they could still preserve their own lives to the greatest extent.
Compared to them, they were much inferior.
Therefore, even if the King placed more importance on the Yanbei Army, even if the Yanbei Army received more resources, they would not be the least bit jealous, and even more so would not think that the Prince had acted unfairly. Everything that the Yanbei Army had obtained, was something that they had gained based on their own abilities …
