The armies under the Second Prince were the regular armies of the Fuyu Kingdom. At the beginning, the First Prince led twenty thousand troops to meet the enemy, but in the end, they were defeated and killed, losing a few thousand troops. The Old King could only send the remaining 10,000 troops to replace the First Prince and join forces with the remnants of the First Prince. Although only the Second ten thousand people remained, he was still the strongest army in the Country.
After two days of marching, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan arrived at the place where the Second Prince was stationed, namely the Fu Yu Nation's Eastern An Way. This was the easternmost road of the Country of Fuyu, with Ning He County on the west, the territories of the Luo people on the north, and the East Sea on the east.
When Scouting horse reported that the Han army was about to arrive, he immediately gathered all the generals and ministers to his Big Account. He knew that it was time for him to hand over the authority of the army, but he was still a little unwilling.
Although the Second Prince had clearly indicated that he was willing to accept the command of the Han army, he did not say that he would hand over the military power. After all, the Country of Supwake was under the control of the helper, why should it be under the control of the Han?
"Honorable ministers and generals, the Han army is about to arrive. What should we do?" The usually arrogant and domineering Second Prince looked extremely depressed. He knew better than anyone else that once he lost his military power, he would be at the mercy of the Han Chinese.
The ministers had already received the news of the battle at the Chicken Gongshan. The messengers who rushed back described the explosion at the Chicken Gongshan as the rage of the gods, and the battle at the mountain stronghold as a massacre, causing the ministers and Generals's people to almost think of the Han Chinese as demons. As a result, none of the ministers and generals wanted to fight against the Han army.
After waiting for a long time and not a single general speaking with a official, Second Prince could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and could not help but shout angrily, "Why are all of you mute!? Don't you usually speak quite well? Why aren't you saying anything now? "
"His Majesty the King, now that Fuyu Six Daos, Third Prince, and Ninth Prince have all handed over their military authority to the Han Army, even if we have any thoughts on what to do, I'm afraid it's already too late." After holding it in for a long time, Guo Xiangji finally stood up and said while trembling in fear. He was afraid that the Second Prince would take out his anger on him and use him as a scapegoat.
"Humph!" No matter if it's the Six Paths of the Gods or the Third Prince, their soldiers are all just temporarily recruited male, and our team is the genuine surplus army. As long as we are willing, it will not be too late! " The Second Prince waved his hands angrily and looked at Guo Xiangji unhappily.
"Sigh …" Guo Xiangji let out a long sigh to the sky, and helplessly shook his head: "How strong must thirty thousand fresh horse be! But in the blink of an eye, everything was gone. Even their tribes were wiped out, and their women and cattle became the spoils of the Chinese people. His Majesty the King, do you think our twenty thousand soldiers are as strong as fresh horse? If the war starts, will our women become the spoils of the Chinese? "
Second Prince could not help but raise his head and look carefully at his subordinates. They all had grave expressions on their faces, obviously not having the courage to fight with the Han army. He thought for a moment and proposed his condition. "Even if we can hand over the military power, we will still need the Han army to make me king."
"That can be discussed." State heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "When Chinese Army Generals arrives, I can personally make a request for them. I think the Chinese army would agree to help keep the balance. What difference does it make to them who is the king? " Following Second Prince's orders, Guo Xiangji and his teacher, Ba Lu, brought two helper Generals and over a hundred cavalrymen out of the army camp and immediately rushed towards the west. Although they were going to welcome the Chinese Army on the surface, in reality, they were going to negotiate with him.
Guo Xiangji's taut face had an extremely heavy heart. Since Old King ordered the Ninth Prince to invite the Han army, it meant that the Old King still trusted him. Now that things had come to this, could he still fight with the Han army?
He knew very well in his heart that the Chinese Army Generals would definitely not agree to make the Second Prince their king. Even if they were willing, they did not have the power to do so.
There was no doubt that a great battle was imminent. The helper had already suffered many hardships. The strong Gaoguellian was still occupying the Tranquil East, if they were to fight with the Han army again, the helper would really be exterminated.
Therefore, Ji Na took the initiative to request negotiations with the Han Chinese Army. He wanted to find a solution based on his own intelligence. Of course, he immediately set a bottom line in his heart, and that was, he would do his best to avoid fighting with the Han army.
However, the Second Prince did not completely trust Ji Na. He was afraid that Ji Na would betray him and send his own teacher, Ba Lu to negotiate with him. Both of them could speak Chinese, so Ba Lu could understand the whole process of the negotiations.
Just as they ran for a distance of thirty kilometers, they ran into Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's huge army. As the two Fu Yu officers could not speak Chinese, Ji Na gave a few instructions to the two officers and then left with the Cavalry. The two of them immediately went up to greet him and cupped their hands together on their horses.
"Fuyu Guo Xiangji greets all the masters."
"State Advisor Fu Yu, Ba Lu pays his respect to the lords."
Upon hearing that it was State, and Wei Yan thought that it was Second Prince who had sent them to welcome them, hence they relaxed. They clasped their hands together on their horses very politely, "Sir, there is no need to be courteous. The team is moving forward, so let's go. "
When Ji Na heard it, he knew that the Han army definitely wasn't prepared for the negotiations, and probably did not even have the mindset of negotiating. He could not help but complain in his heart, if he suddenly brought up the idea of negotiating and infuriated these few generals, wouldn't they be fighting?
Ji Na and Ba Lu turned their horses over, and accompanied Huang Zhong and Wei Yan forward. Ji Na took a few steps forward and said carefully, "His Majesty the King has indeed sent us to welcome the great army. We sincerely welcome the Han army to help us attack Gaoguellian. However, His Majesty the King also had a small request. Currently, there are a few princes who are self-reliant on the throne in Fuyu Kingdom, can the two lords support our king to become the King Fuyu? "
These words had been carefully deliberated over by Ji Na. It could not lead Ba Lu to hear any flaws or make the Chinese Army Generals overly sensitive.
As a teacher of the Second Prince, Ba Lu's level of Chinese was also very high, so he was able to understand what Ji Na meant. However, Ji Na's words were still valid, and he had no way to refute it. As long as Chinese Army Generals supports Second Prince, isn't Second Prince the same as well?
But when Huang Zhong and Wei Yan heard this, they became dissatisfied. It was none of their business who they should support as the king. However, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were both extremely intelligent generals, although they did not see through the trick, they understood one thing, as long as it was not too difficult, they could agree to it first. Once they have control over the rest of the troops, your Second Prince would not be able to go anywhere.
"Of course! Second Prince is the oldest prince among the princes, of course we support him! " Huang Zhong laughed and answered straightforwardly. Forget about Second Prince, even if you wanted to be king, Guo Xiangji would support you. As for letting you do it in the end, he didn't say that.
"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Ji Na said it three times in a row and then laughed sincerely. Regardless of whether Huang Zhong was telling the truth or not, he had passed the test today: "Lord State Advisor, please go back and report to His Majesty the King immediately, open the Tsuen Mun and welcome the army!"
When Ba Lu saw Huang Zhong's smile with his own eyes and heard Huang Zhong's promise with his own ears, he could not help but believe it somewhat. However, he had after all interacted with many Chinese and knew how crafty they were. He looked at Huang Zhong, wanting to confirm something more: "Master, are you sure that the imperial government will set up the Second Prince as the King Fuyu?"
When Ba Lu asked this question, Huang Zhong did not dare to speak carelessly. He could support the Second Prince as a king, regardless of whether the Second Prince could become one or not, he could support the Second Prince. However, he really did not dare to lie if he had to confirm that the imperial government had established the Second Prince as a king. After all, if Second Prince was not established as king, then the Han Army would lose their trust in the helper.
However, Wei Yan was much more quick-witted and had no scruples. From his bosom, he took out a piece of paper, and waved it in front of Ji Na and Ba Lu, revealing a smile: "This is an order from Chinese Army Generals's Master Pan Feng, once we arrive at your camp, it will be read out, and then you will all know about it. What are you all in such a hurry for?"
Seeing the piece of paper, Ji Na's and Ba Lu's eyes lit up. They were both interested in the exquisite piece of paper, and also happy at Wei Yan's confident tone. Especially Ba Lu, he immediately bowed towards Huang Zhong and Wei Yan: "Masters, please wait a moment, I will report to the His Majesty the King and ask him to open the Tsuen Mun, we welcome the army in."
Ba Lu left happily but Ji Na stayed behind. He said that he was going to accompany the army, but in reality, he was the one who noticed the problem. Just as Wei Yan was about to put away the piece of paper, a sly smile appeared on his smiling face, which was noticed by the skeptical Ji Na.
Ji Na couldn't help but mutter in his heart. It seemed that the Han army had already decided to take action, thus he immediately made up his mind. He decided to stay and stand by the Han army, whether it was for the helper or himself.
Masters, when Ba Lu goes back to report this, Second Prince will definitely welcome him with open arms, and at that time, he will definitely let Master announce that he is King Fuyu.
Ji Na accompanied Huang Zhong and Wei Yan as they slowly walked forward, and reminded them with good intentions. If what you are taking is really the order for the Second Prince to become king, then everything is fine. If all of you are just trying to lie to Second Prince, you better prepare in advance so that we won't be unable to finish this by then.
Of course, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan could understand what Ji Na meant. The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. Seeing that the general had increased his speed, the team behind him also whipped their way forward.
After running for a while, Huang Zhong turned and looked at Ji Na: "Minister of State, can you introduce us to the ministers, generals and soldiers under you?"
