Of course, although the Eighth Prince didn’t agree with Huang Feng’s views in his heart, he didn’t say anything. After all, in his opinion, Huang Feng is indeed very skilled, but he is only a guardian and his vision is limited. It is also normal. There is such a view, and it is not so strange. There is no need to say anything to refute Huang Feng to make Huang Feng unhappy.
Naturally, Huang Feng could also see that the Eighth Prince did not agree with him. He also didn't say anything. There was no need to explain to the Eighth Prince. When the time came, it was enough to prove it with facts.
When the eight princes were worried about the future of themselves and the country, the eldest prince and the third prince were also worried. Of course, they were more worried about their own safety.
Because the Eighth Prince has Huang Feng by his side and Princess Qi’s introduction and assurance, the Eighth Prince is still very confident in Huang Feng, so he is not too worried about his safety, but the two eldest and third princes are The difference is that there is no Huang Feng to protect them. Although Huang Feng has secretly sent a master to protect them, they are not very clear about this situation, so naturally they are worried about their own safety issues. There are many court soldiers around, and they don't feel any sense of security. On the contrary, they think everyone around them is suspicious.
Because of the appearance of the deserters, the eldest prince and the third princes did not trust the people around them so much. They felt that the soldiers around them were likely to defect at any time, and they also had the opportunity to defect to the deserters. Heavy hands, those who want to escape may not necessarily have the idea of killing themselves.
Therefore, this situation made the eldest prince and the third prince more uneasy, and they also saw that the morale of the army was very low. If they were to go to the battlefield like this, they felt that even if they were facing those mud legs Children, they don’t have much confidence.
Now how to do?
Give up and return?
This is obviously impossible. The throne is right in front of them, and none of them want to give up. After all, being an emperor and being a prince are two completely different lives. Since they have the opportunity to be the emperor, they would naturally not want to miss it. Several people gave up this assessment, so it’s okay. In that case, Princess Qi will definitely arrange other assessments. However, it is clear that the Eighth Prince would not want to give up. The prince and the third prince have ideas about the throne, so they cannot give up.
At this time, the eldest prince and the third prince must in their hearts swear the eighth prince again.
However, no matter how much scolding, there is no way to change the facts. They can only bite the bullet and move on for the throne, but they have strengthened the protection around them. Those who have been with them for many years are the old people who have followed them for many years. , As for the other soldiers, they don't believe it now.
Both of them prayed in their hearts. Those rebels were not as powerful as rumors. Otherwise, they might lose the battle. However, both of them are ready to escape at any time. After all, their lives are always the most important thing. of.
And this expedition is not only as simple as defeating the rebels, but also to compete with the other two princes. In other words, even if a certain prince defeated the rebels in his direction, but, because The speed is slower than the other princes, so he also lost the competition, so the issue of speed must be considered here.
It is precisely because of this that although the eldest prince and the third prince still have some worries in their hearts, the marching speed is not slow. In any case, the most important thing is to contact the enemy first and fight the enemy. If they win, they won the assessment, they lose... they can't lose!
In order to be able to defeat the enemy in front of the other two princes, the team belonging to the eldest prince and the third prince marched very fast, lacked even the most basic investigation, and the entire team was very tired. In the eyes of the eldest and third princes , Those rebels must have known that they are coming, so at this time, they must be huddled in the city, wanting to rely on the city’s defensive ability to resist themselves and others. Therefore, they dare not take the initiative to attack. Yes, so, naturally, there is no need to worry about their attacks during the march.
The generals in the army obviously have different opinions. In their opinion, Wang Cheng is still very capable. He rushes forward rashly. Once the rebels ambush along the way, the consequences will be disastrous. .
However, their suggestions were not accepted by the prince and the prince. In their view, the most important thing now is time. If they want to race against time, they must beat the enemy ahead of the other two princes. It’s okay if the rebels take the initiative to knock them down. They must be able to defeat the enemy in the middle of the road. In that case, they will be able to retake the city smoothly and easily.
In the eyes of the eldest prince and the third prince, they still wish the enemy out of the city. Without city defense, they would be easier to defeat the enemy.
The eight princes on the other side actually have the same idea. He also wants to march fast, especially when he knows that the first prince and the third prince are moving fast, his heart is also anxious, after all, since he Choosing to lead the team on the expedition naturally shows that he also has ideas about the throne, and he is naturally unwilling to watch the other two princes faster than him.
However, his idea of marching in a hurry was stopped by Huang Feng. Huang Feng used this to defeat the princes of Feng Jueguo. Therefore, Huang Feng naturally understood that in that case, The shortcomings of the rush march naturally made it impossible for the eight princes to advance rashly. Since Wang Cheng was able to develop the rebel forces to the present level, he was naturally not incompetent. Therefore, at this time, it is better to be careful.
"However, the eldest brother and the third brother's team have already run ahead of us. If we don't hurry up, we will lose the competition." Although the eighth prince was also worried that he would be ambushed by the rebels, he just watched being ambushed by the rebels. Left behind, his heart is even more anxious. After all, whether the rebels will ambush or not, I don’t know yet, but what is certain is that if he falls behind the prince and the third prince, he will lose the competition, so, He doesn't want to fall behind.
"If you believe me, just listen to me." Huang Feng said to the Eighth Prince: "Don't worry, I won't let you lose the competition."
