"Now, perhaps the only way is, Your Highness, you ask the emperor for your order, lead your troops to regain military power on the front line!"
Yuan Shang said: "As long as the military power is in the hands of Your Highness, your Highness can let the storm rise and sit firmly on the fishing boat."
"The Emperor's Father could not agree!"
How could he not know this?
But he had never been involved in leading troops to fight.
In the case where the Tianyue Kingdom is now in chaos and strong enemies covet it outside, how could the Emperor's Father hand over the troops to him!
If he handed over the power of the court to him, even if he made a mistake, he would have the ability to turn things around.
But if you hand over the troops in the world to him, if you make a mistake, it will be a danger of destruction of the country!
"Your Highness must believe in his own abilities. Your Highness can be at ease with the court of a country. How can you not control the mere military force?"
The first-rank censor Yuan Shang said: "What's more, Your Highness and I have ministers here. Can't you compare to a mere boy?"
A word of flattery made the prince think.
Yes, the government affairs in the world are complicated and complex, and he can handle them in an orderly manner, let alone the troops!
His subordinates also have many talents, but are they still inferior to a little boy?
Yuan Shang said: "Your Highness does not need to hesitate. I am not asking you to seize military power now, but when the world is in a clear state of affairs!"
The prince's eyes lit up: "What do you mean is, when Chu Ran and Luo Tianwei wipe out the main force of the rebels, will we go to the battlefield to clean up the mess?"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Before he regained military power and made military achievements, who else in the world can shake your position in the Crown Prince?"
"I am very lucky to be by my side!"
"Your Highness is over-reputable..."
...
Jingshan Pass, General's Mansion.
Chu Ran stood in the General's Mansion Hall, listening to the results of Luo An's report, but nodded slightly and said nothing more.
In this battle, they won much easier than they thought.
Only during the siege battle did less than 5,000 soldiers died or injured. After the army entered the city, they almost did not suffer large-scale resistance.
Although there were casualties, there were not many.
Even after gathering the rebels' surrendered troops, Chu Ran's number of troops controlled by him reached 410,000.
It's ten thousand more than before going to war.
"Boss, now all the people in the pass have been settled! The food and salary have been distributed."
Chu Ran nodded: "Just deal with these things."
"good!"
Luo An then turned around and left.
Before Luo An walked out of the hall, a sentence came into his ears: "Let the shadow kill come to see me!"
"Um."
Luo An left immediately.
Not long after, Shadow Kill appeared in front of Chu Ran.
Seeing Shadow Killing, Chu Ran asked directly: "How is it?"
"As the boss speculated, the rebels of the Northern King's Palace were indeed Jingshan Pass that was evacuated in an orderly manner."
Ying Sha said: "The soldiers guarding the city were just those who were intentionally left by the Northern King's Mansion. The large army had already evacuated Jingshan Pass a day ago."
"Um."
Chu Ran nodded, and everything would be reasonable if this were the case.
Although he had a full chance of winning this battle before the war started, he had never imagined that it would be so simple.
Although they annihilated 300,000 elite rebels.
But after all, there are still at least 700,000 or 800,000 troops in the rebels.
Although most of them stayed behind other cities, there will be at least 300,000 soldiers in the pass such as Jingshan Pass.
What's more, the little princess and the little princess of the Northern Frontier Palace are all in Guanzhong.
Even if you conquer Jingshan Pass, you will inevitably suffer a considerable loss.
Chu Ran estimated that he would lose at least 100,000 soldiers.
But the result was that only more than 5,000 casualties were lost.
Now that I hear Yingsha say this, I know why this is happening.
However, Chu Ran couldn't figure out how the little prince would give up a vital city like Jingshanguan!
Don’t you know that if Jingshan Pass is lost, his army will be unhindered!
Furthermore, with Chu Ran’s understanding of the little prince, the little prince is extremely proud.
After a crushing defeat in the Hutian Pass, you will inevitably think about taking revenge.
Now that he is leading his troops to attack the city, isn’t it a good time for the little prince to take revenge?
But he just took the army away!
Everything seems extremely unreasonable.
Chu Ran frowned and said softly, "What the hell is this woman Ji Menghe doing?"
In the Northern Prince's Mansion, the little prince could only listen to Ji Menghe's words. The reason for retreating was that Ji Menghe's proposal.
I just don’t know what method Ji Menghe used to convince the little prince.
Although I can't figure it out, Chu Ran can also think of two points.
The first is to severely damage his army.
The second is the hegemony of the royal palace!
Only these two points can have enough weight to convince the little prince to withdraw!
As for which one it was, he couldn't figure it out.
"By the way, Shadow Kill, how many people have you selected in the army?"
Chu Ran suddenly looked up and asked Xiang Yingji.
Yingsha sighed and said, "There are only two hundred people. The soldiers in the army are too qualified and there is no need to train them!"
The person he wants must be at least above the sixth level, and he must not be too old.
Only in this way can he train him to become a qualified killer!
But undoubtedly, there are almost no one who wants to find the fifth level of the Heavenly Star Soul in the army.
Even if there are, they are almost all generals.
Even his two hundred people now cannot meet his requirements. He can only be a scout and collect information.
In the battle of Hutian Pass, his men killed dozens of rebel generals.
But most of these are achieved by accident and joint efforts to siege and kill.
If you act alone, no one can do it.
"General Chu, are you talking about the lack of staff?"
At this moment, a sudden sound came into the hall.
A figure also entered the hall at the same time.
Seeing the visitor, Chu Ran couldn't help but smile: "Third Prince!"
The visitor was the third prince who had just chased him from the direction of Hutian Pass.
"oh?"
Hearing the title of Chu Ran, Ying Sha couldn't help but feel shocked and couldn't help but look at the third prince a few more times.
This was the first time he saw the prince.
The curiosity in my heart was really uncontrollable.
After seeing Chu Ran coming forward, he hurriedly followed Chu Ran and went forward to pay homage: "I will kill the shadow and pay homage to the third prince!"
“No need to be like this!”
The third prince went forward and helped Zheng Yingkang to kill him, and said with a smile: "Since he is General Chu's brother, that is, my brother, you don't have to be so polite in the future."
As he said that, he looked at Chu Ran and smiled and said, "I said that, General Chu wouldn't mind."
Chu Ran smiled and shook his head and said, "The Third Prince was joking."
As he said that, he made a gesture of invitation: "Three Prince, please sit down!"
"Don't, I'm not here to ask for any attendant!"
The third prince waved his hands repeatedly and refused: "In the future, you will be the commander and I will be the soldier. Just treat me as a small pawn!"
"Little pawn?"
Even if it was Shadow Kill, I was stunned when I heard these two words.
In his imagination, no matter how prince is, he should be a person with arrogance and aura.
But I didn't expect that the third prince in front of me would be so peaceful.
Chu Ran was also stunned: "Your Highness, this joke has been made a little bit too much, right?"
