C2678 He Fought for the Favor
Hearing the advisor's words, Fourth Prince's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea.
"Your Highness Fourth Prince." Another advisor stopped him." The general of Yuan Feng Country is not an easy person to deal with. Although he is young, he is not easy to deal with. I think he will think that we will launch a night attack. It will be very difficult for our night attack to succeed. "
"I don't think so." The aide who spoke earlier refuted with an unfriendly tone. He had just come up with an idea for Fourth Prince, but someone had already jumped out to object. Wasn't this deliberately targeting him and slapping him in the face?
Now, many people realized that Fourth Prince's position was special. He had the upper hand in the competition for the throne. As long as he could lead the army to defeat the army of Yuan Feng Country... Then... No one would compete with him for that position.
The generals and advisors under Fourth Prince also agreed to this reasoning. Thus, they had been striving to be proactive during this period of time. They had left a deep impression on Fourth Prince. If that was the case, they would wait for him to ascend to the throne. Then, they would naturally be put in an important position, and their status would rise as well.
But now, his suggestion had been refuted in front of everyone. In the eyes of the first aide who spoke earlier, the person behind was deliberately targeting him. Intentionally ruining his image in front of Fourth Prince, this was naturally intolerable.
"The general of the Yuan Feng Country's army is called Huang Feng. He is just a young man in his early twenties. How much combat experience does he have? I'm afraid that being able to be a centurion here is already not bad. His strength is limited. As for the army that he was able to defeat before... It was just a trick. At that time, we were all careless. In addition, the army was exhausted, which was why they were defeated by him. That's not how strong he was, but he just happened to catch up " The first aide to speak said.
This point of view was also the mainstream point of view in Fengjue Country. Many people thought so. They all felt that the reason why their army was defeated was because... It wasn't because of how powerful the enemy was, but because they themselves had encountered a problem. They had been busy marching, and the entire army was exhausted. They were completely out of shape, and that was why they had lost to the Yuan Feng Country. If the armies of two countries met on the battlefield, the winner would definitely be the army of the Fengjue Country.
Because of this, the words of this aide garnered the approval of many people around him. They all felt that Huang Feng was so young, so he must have some sort of relationship with them. It was impossible for him to have too much experience in commanding battles.
"As far as I know, that Huang Feng has commanded many battles. He was also the one who led the armies of the other countries and defeated them. Once was luck. So many times, it was definitely not a coincidence. " The second advisor refuted.
"You also believe that kind of news?" The first aide scoffed at his colleague's words and said: "The reason why their country's emperor was able to defeat the armies of other countries is because of his personal command. That was the result of the leadership of the Yuan Feng Country royal family's aide team, and it was definitely the emperor's credit. And... What did it have to do with him? That Huang Feng was only the New Emperor of Yuan Feng Country. In order to create an idol, he was like a war god, and he purposely pushed him to the front desk. In fact, that Huang Feng wouldn't have been of much use in the previous battles."
"Are you sure? What if you guessed wrong? " The second advisor was clearly unconvinced.
"I can be sure. I can guarantee that Huang Feng is a puppet that New Emperor from Yuan Feng Country pushed out. His true level is very limited." The first aide who spoke did not budge an inch.
"He is just a puppet. How dare the emperor of Yuan Feng Country ask him to command such a big battle? Let him be the main general?"
"This is the emperor of Yuan Feng Country, he won a few battles. He didn't know why, but he wanted Huang Feng to achieve greater things. That's why he was sent to be the main general. They thought that our Fengjue Country has been unable to recover ever since we lost the last battle. There's nothing to worry about anymore. That's why they let Huang Feng be the main general."
The two of them didn't give in and kept arguing.
" Stop arguing! " Fourth Prince shouted loudly. The two of them who were still arguing earlier immediately stopped. There was no sound at all, as if the quarrel from before didn't exist.
"I also don't believe that Huang Feng from Yuan Feng Country can be so powerful. This way, we can arrange for someone to go to the camp at night." Fourth Prince said.
Hearing Fourth Prince's words, the first aide who spoke looked proudly at his colleague beside him. That person wanted to say something, but was glared back at by Fourth Prince. He instantly didn't dare to speak anymore.
Since Fourth Prince had already made up his mind, it was useless for him to say anything. However, he was very worried about the attack tonight. He had refuted it in front of everyone, not just to fight for favour. He was truly afraid of Huang Feng's talent.
However, no one seemed to believe that Huang Feng had such an ability. Especially Fourth Prince, he would never be willing to believe that he had lost to someone who was even younger than him. He would rather believe that it was a coincidence that someone else had such an ability. It was their luck and their own carelessness.
Furthermore, Fourth Prince was eager to regain his lost face. He wanted to show them his strength before the people of Yuan Feng Country had a firm foothold.
Fourth Prince's decision was quickly heard by Old Emperor. After all, many people knew that Fourth Prince was just standing in front of the stage. The one who had the real power in the Fengjue Country was Old Emperor.
After knowing Fourth Prince's decision, Old Emperor hesitated for a moment and decided not to stop Fourth Prince.
"Let Fourth Brother go and investigate the army in Yuan Feng Country, as well as that Huang Feng. He had only heard about it before, but it wasn't enough to convince him. It was better to see it with his own eyes. However, for the sake of what might have happened in the past, he had arranged for someone to guard outside the city. Once the attack fails, bring those soldiers back to the city." Old Emperor said.
"Yes."
Obviously, Old Emperor's idea was more reliable. He agreed to let Fourth Prince send someone to test Huang Feng's strength. At the same time, he also made preparations for failure and arranged for people to receive him. In this way, even if Fourth Prince's team failed to attack the camp, he could also bring them back to the city.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Yuan Feng Country's camp outside the city gradually quieted down. Everyone was tired from rushing all the way here. It was true that they needed to rest at this time. Not long after, snoring sounds could be heard everywhere in the camp.
