1"No, the gate cannot be opened!" Just as the aide suggested opening the city gates, someone immediately retorted. The aide looked and saw that the person who refuted him was the same colleague who said he could not attack the camp.    

    

For a moment, his heart was filled with anger.    

    

If he had not objected before, even if the attack had failed, now... It would have been a good explanation. However, because of his previous objection... Now that the attack on the camp had failed, the people present would inevitably make comparisons. Wouldn't this make it seem like they were incompetent?    

    

Moreover, the advisor also felt that the other party was against him. He definitely didn't want to give him the chance to make amends for his mistakes, and the army that gave up the city was completely wiped out. If that was the case, he would be the one to bear the responsibility. That would be a huge loss. Fourth Prince was so angry that he didn't know how to treat him.    

    

"Why can't I open it? Didn't you see so many of our soldiers coming? If we don't open the city gates, how can they come in? Do we want them all to die outside? You have at least taken responsibility for this?" The advisor who suggested opening the city gates said.    

    

The aide who had just objected did not look at his flustered colleague. Instead, he looked at Fourth Prince and said, "Your Highness, this city gate really cannot be opened. Look. The army of Yuan Feng Country has been following behind our army. It is hard to say whether they did not do it on purpose. Once we open the city gate, they will rush in. At that time, our city will be in danger. "    

    

Fourth Prince's face showed some hesitation. Naturally, he didn't want to see the army outside the city being completely wiped out. That would affect their strength and prestige. Although it wouldn't hurt them badly, it was still a huge blow to their strength and prestige. However... His face didn't look good.    

    

However, what this advisor said didn't make sense. If they opened the city gate, the army of Yuan Feng Country would rush in. Wouldn't their side be in danger? Although they were ready to fight the army of Yuan Feng Country, however... They had never thought that the day of the decisive battle would come so soon. They still wanted to use the city's defenses and some traps to consume the Yuan Feng Country's strength. At that time, they would have a better chance of winning the decisive battle.    

    

Therefore, Fourth Prince didn't wish to fight the final battle right now.    

    

Therefore, he couldn't let the army of Yuan Feng Country enter the city at this time.    

    

However, the advisor who suggested opening the city gate didn't plan to give up.    

    

"How do you know that the army of Yuan Feng Country is doing this on purpose? I think it's more likely that our army is fighting bravely. We just broke out of the encirclement, but now we are not opening the city gate. We will be disappointed if we do not save them! " The advisor said, "In our city, we have gathered more than three hundred thousand troops. On the Yuan Feng Country side, there are only over two hundred thousand troops. Even if they charge in, we won't be in any danger. Could it be that you think that we are under Fourth Prince's lead? Can't beat the army of Yuan Feng Country? We were defeated by them before. Are you afraid of them?"    

    

" You! I didn't mean to not believe His Highness Fourth Prince. I just felt that... It will be safer if we don't open the city gate. " When the previous advisor said this, he was also somewhat anxious. He knew that... His Highness Fourth Prince's magnanimity was not that broad. If he were to be hated by him... His future would be over.    

    

At this time, the others on the city wall were also divided into two factions. Some people felt that they should open the city gates and receive the troops outside the city. Some also felt that they should not open the city gates. If that was the case... They would be used by the people of Yuan Feng Country.    

    

Both sides had their own reasons. For a moment, Fourth Prince didn't know what to do.    

    

At this time, the army of Fengjue Country outside the city had already rushed to the city gate. The cries for help, the cries of war, and the wails mixed together. The people standing on top of the city wall could clearly see the miserable scene below. Some of the soldiers could not bear it and started to discuss among themselves.    

    

"Get people to open the city gates!" Fourth Prince ordered. Although he was not very good at military affairs, he knew that he had to rely on his soldiers to fight a war. If they were disappointed, who would work for him?    

    

"Your Highness, no!" The advisor could not help but say.    

    

"I have already decided, don't say anymore" Fourth Prince waved his hand and said.    

    

The advisor who suggested opening the city gate looked at his colleague proudly and then sent someone to open the city gate.    

    

However, soon the news came that the city gate was not opened. There was a group of people guarding the city gate, not allowing anyone to approach the city gate, not even the people Fourth Prince sent!    

    

"Who are they? Who asked them to guard there? Why didn't they listen to my orders? Are they trying to rebel? "Fourth Prince said angrily.    

    

If he hadn't decided to open the city gate, it would have been fine. Since he had already given the order to open the city gate and couldn't open it now, wouldn't that be slapping his face?    

    

Furthermore, all the guards in the city should have listened to his orders. Now, there was actually an army that didn't listen to his orders. This made him very angry.    

    

This was someone challenging his bottom line!    

    

"They said that they were sent by His Majesty the Emperor." The person replied.    

    

"Father?" Fourth Prince was slightly stunned when he heard that. He said, "Why did he send people to the city gate?"    

    

"Those people did not say." The person who came said.    

    

Fourth Prince froze on the spot, wondering why father would give such an order. Didn't he order all the soldiers to listen to his orders? Why was he giving out other orders behind his back now? This was what he thought. Or was it someone else who cleaned it up? Did he not believe him?    

    

This was not good news for Fourth Prince.    

    

"Your Highness, this is not good news." The aide who suggested opening the city gate said in a low voice.    

    

"Do I need you to say that?" Fourth Prince looked at him and said snappily.    

    

"Your Highness, I suspect that there might be other princes behind this." The advisor continued, "Your Majesty previously believed in Your Highness and shouldn't have arranged for other troops to act on their own behind Your Highness's back. It must be that the other princes were unwilling to give up. So, speak ill of His Highness in front of His Majesty."    

    

Fourth Prince's expression became even uglier, because he thought the same in his heart.    

    

"What do we do now?" Fourth Prince said.    

    

"Since the king has already made the arrangements, we can't refute him. Although you are the one commanding the battle in this city, the one in control is still the king." The advisor said.    

    

How could the king not understand this? Although he was the nominal commander, he also knew that... Many people only listened to his orders because of Old Emperor. He might not be convinced in his heart. Between Old Emperor and him... More people would definitely choose to believe Old Emperor.
