C2682 An Illusion



C2682 An Illusion

0Although Fourth Prince understood this logic, he was still very unhappy in his heart. The person who gave the order was his father, the Emperor of Fengjue Country. He was still very unhappy in his heart.    

    

After rushing back to the country and officially accepting all the troops in the country, Fourth Prince's heart had swelled up. He felt that he was the most powerful person in the Fengjue Country. The most important person was the entire country's army in his hands. Everyone had to listen to his orders, no matter what he said. That's what it is.    

    

However, only now did Fourth Prince realize that all of this was just an illusion. He wasn't the most powerful person in the Fengjue Country, and not everyone would listen to his orders. In the entire Fengjue Country, he was the most powerful person. It was still Old Emperor, his father, even if he basically didn't appear right now. Before he went on stage, he could still mobilize a lot of people with just one sentence. He had more influence than himself.    

    

This discovery made Fourth Prince very unhappy in his heart. He was used to keeping his word. He was used to others obeying his orders. But now, such a thing had happened. It was really hard for Fourth Prince to accept it.    

    

Maybe because he saw Fourth Prince's expression was not good, an advisor next to him comforted him. "Your Highness, I think His Majesty trusts you very much. He is also worried about you. He is afraid that you will make a mistake."    

    

"Yes, I also think His Majesty believes in His Highness. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the entire country's military to His Highness. And he wouldn't have appointed you as the main general of this decisive battle against Yuan Feng Country." The advisor who had suggested opening the city gate said.    

    

After the two of them spoke, Fourth Prince's expression finally became a little better. Thinking about it carefully, it did seem to be true. If Old Emperor did not trust him, he would not let him be the commander, and he would also not let the army in the country listen to his orders.    

    

"I think that with the current situation, it must be those princes who are unwilling to give up. Those who cause trouble in the battle are eager for Your Highness to lose command in this battle. If that's the case, they will have a chance to obtain the position of the main general. " The advisor continued: "If we don't open the city gate now, then we won't let the troops outside the city return to the city. If that's the case, then Your Highness's first order will be wrong... The advisor continued: If you don't open the gate now, then you won't let the army outside the city return to the city. You will lose soldiers and face "    

    

"You were the one who suggested it" Fourth Prince looked at him and said.    

    

"Yes, it was me who suggested it. This is all my fault." The advisor quickly said, "However, this lowly subject did not expect that there would be other princes who would interfere and prevent the city gates from being opened."    

    

Fourth Prince did not say anything. Clearly, he was also very dissatisfied with the actions of the other princes.    

    

In Fourth Prince's point of view, he was the one closest to the throne. If the other princes knew what was good for them, they should give up on the fantasy that they shouldn't have. If they took the initiative to express their goodwill to him, he might not make things difficult for them.    

    

However, not only did those princes not give up, they didn't take the initiative to express goodwill to him. They even made a fuss and wanted to see him make a fool of himself. This was simply unforgivable.    

    

"I can't let them be idle like this. I'll give them some trouble later." Fourth Prince said.    

    

Since those princes had already made their move, Fourth Prince had no intention of being passively beaten. He wanted to fight back and let those people know that right now... Only he was the sole heir to the throne. Those people... They should all give up.    

    

These advisors were not unfamiliar with scheming against others. They had always dared to do such things in the past, so they quickly thought of some ways with Fourth Prince.    

    

However, this time it was obviously Fourth Prince who wronged the other princes. Although those princes were indeed thinking of a way now. To add some trouble to Fourth Prince... They did not have the right to make a decision. The guards at the city gate... They were also sent by Old Emperor and the other princes. It had nothing to do with the war against Yuan Feng Country. Old Emperor would never allow the other princes to cause trouble.    

    

However, Old Emperor had sent his army over. At the beginning, he wanted these people to pick up the people who came out of the city for the night attack in order to prevent any accidents from happening. However, at the last moment, the general sent by Old Emperor... He chose to return to the city by himself and closed the city gates at the same time. Not only did he not pick up the troops outside the city... He did not even give them the chance to enter the city.    

    

Of course, the reason why the general did this was not because the other princes bribed him. Instead, it was because... Because he had already discovered that the army of Yuan Feng Country was not far from him. It was the army that followed them out of the city at a leisurely pace. Therefore... The general deduced that the army of Yuan Feng Country was clearly trying to use the army of the Fengjue Country to open a path for them. They wanted to enter the city at the same time.    

    

At this moment, they naturally couldn't let the army of Yuan Feng Country enter the city. If that was the case, wouldn't the defensive facilities that they had prepared during this period be completely useless?    

    

Therefore, the general immediately retreated to the city. At the same time, he closed the city gates, not giving the army of Yuan Feng Country the chance to enter the city.    

    

The general didn't expect that he would do something that took the overall situation into consideration. He would think that Fourth Prince had been bribed by the other princes. He was here to deal with Fourth Prince, but the truth was different. This general was loyal to Old Emperor, not any of the princes.    

    

In fact, there were many situations like this, even among the generals under Fourth Prince's command. Most of them were loyal to Old Emperor, not him. The reason they listened to his orders was because Old Emperor ordered them to do so.    

    

However, this gave Fourth Prince an illusion. He felt that he was the person with the greatest authority in the Fengjue Country. Even Old Emperor was inferior to him. What he didn't know was that he was just a chess piece that Old Emperor pushed to the front. It was naturally good to play beautifully. If he couldn't, he would immediately be removed. He didn't have much power at all.    

    

"What a pity, the Fengjue Country is quite cautious." Huang Feng looked at the tightly shut city gate and sighed.    

    

Huang Feng indeed wanted to use this opportunity to bring the army into the city. However, he did not expect that the Fengjue Country army was very alert and did not give him the chance.    

    

However, Huang Feng did not really care. This time, it was not possible. He just needed to find another opportunity. Anyway, the initiative was in his hands now. He wasn't in a hurry. If he really couldn't do it, he could just attack. In any case, he was confident that the reason why he didn't choose to attack by force... That was entirely because he didn't want to suffer too much of a loss. It wasn't because he felt that he couldn't defeat the defending troops in the city.
