In the feudal dynasty, all cities and towns as small as a stone all belonged to the emperor in name. Correspondingly, as a group of people with the closest relationship to the emperor, members of the royal family naturally had certain privileges.
Although this privilege is nominally granted by the emperor, its effect is real.
As long as it is not taken back by the emperor, you can do whatever you want within the scope of this privilege.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not take back the rights granted at will, even if he did not like what the person granted the rights did.
In fact, everyone's rights, no matter how big or small, are essentially the same.
It's just that the rights of people in the royal family will be relatively greater, and in most cases, certain rights can only be used by people in the royal family, so those rights will be given the word "privilege".
As for Emperor Xin, the fifth prince of Dali, the privilege possessed by His Highness Prince Yu is the right to send troops.
Although the scope of this power to dispatch troops only applies to outside the territory of Dali, you only need to look at the border marshal Wu Chenghou, who has a higher official position than him. He needs to submit a report to the court if he wants to conquer Ryukyu, and you will know how powerful this right is.
It's big.
It can be said that if Northern Xinjiang can provide enough logistics and Di Xin has enough soldiers and horses, he can even declare war on the whole world in the name of Northern Xinjiang.
Of course, Northern Xinjiang is also the territory of Dali. In the eyes of other forces, the declaration of war in Northern Xinjiang is no different from the propaganda of Dali. Therefore, the imperial court will not allow Emperor Xin to do this.
So this is the limit of what can be done in theory, but in practice there is little room for maneuver.
But if we only target the barbarians around Dali, neither the old emperor nor the court will basically interfere with Di Xin.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Dali is far from exhausted.
In the eyes of the imperial court, these barbarians are nothing more than scabies, but they can't spare the time to clean them up now.
Now that King Yu has this spare power, although they are a little unhappy with his decision, they will not go out of their way to stop him.
Of course, this is under the condition that Northern Xinjiang can be self-sufficient. If the imperial court is asked to provide the necessary supplies for the expedition, it will definitely be stopped by a ban.
…
These barbarians have already investigated and found out that the expedition to the northern frontier of Dali was not an order from the Chinese imperial court, but the decision of the Zhenguan general himself.
This is why the Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force can only advance along routes outside the Great Li territory. In some places, they would rather take a detour than step into the territory outside the Great Li Northern Territory.
Just because if the expeditionary force dares to enter Dali territory that is not part of the northern border on a large scale without authorization, no matter what the intention is, it is very likely that they will be labeled as intending to rebel.
Da Li sent out troops at will outside the territory, but within the territory it was difficult to move forward after leaving the northern border.
Although it sounds awkward, in order to ensure the supremacy of imperial power, this is the reality.
And that's it, because the qualifications for the Immortal Army's expedition come entirely from King Yu, so once something unexpected happens to King Yu, even if the expeditionary army has just fought a great victory, it must withdraw to northern Xinjiang.
Therefore, for the barbarians around Dali, if they want to completely solve the danger posed by the immortal army, in addition to defeating the expeditionary force, finding a way to remove King Yu will have the same effect.
Even in a sense, the effect of removing King Yu is even better.
According to the information sent back by the spies, Prince Yu did not seem to bring many people with him after leaving the military camp, and there were even two women among them.
Sure enough, a man like this would never forget to enjoy it no matter when.
While feeling envious and jealous in their hearts, they also began to think about how to deal with His Royal Highness King Yu.
Although it was within the territory of Dali, there was no doubt that the journey from southern Xinjiang to the capital was also the best time to kill His Highness Prince Yu.
Since a surprise attack tactic is to be implemented, the high-end combat power must be sent.
Although these foreign countries are not as vast as Dali's land, rich in resources, and have as many experts as the clouds, they can still gather together a lot of strong people in the second realm.
According to their understanding, His Royal Highness Prince Yu seems to have only a second-level strongman to protect him personally.
Although the Tiancan old man is extremely powerful even among the second level strong men, he cannot defeat four hands with two fists. They don't believe that under the siege of many second level strong men, he can't deal with an innate giant.
Grandmaster.
besides.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu is just a cripple, and the others are either ordinary people or just acquired martial arts cultivators.
It would be fine if there were more people, but more than thirty people were no more than ants to a second-level expert.
Therefore, as long as they allocate some people to entangle the crippled old man, then just one or two of the remaining people will be enough to kill the crippled prince.
What is more difficult is how to sneak into the territory of Dali quietly.
Once the news that they were planning to intercept and kill His Royal Highness Prince Yu was leaked, it would not be that easy to find the prince who had been alerted in Dali territory, even if all the men dispatched were strong men from the second level.
It is not even impossible for him to directly recruit a large army for protection.
If a member of the royal family is really targeted, the officials and troops along the way have the obligation to escort him.
But soon, this problem will no longer be an issue.
Just when everyone was thinking about how to sneak into the territory of Dali quietly, a letter from the capital of Dali was sent.
Xin was secretly sent back by the Ryukyu mission in a secret way.
The letter mentioned that the big shot they had contacted in the capital before would help them sneak into Dali quietly without worrying about being exposed.
At the same time, there will be people in Dali to assist them.
At that time, after the two groups of people meet up, they will assassinate the fifth prince of Dali together.
The letter also mentioned that in addition to the Tiancan old man, there seemed to be a second-level strongman beside King Yu.
That second-level strongman is extremely secretive, and I don't know if he is secretly protecting King Yu. Therefore, not only do all the people they send this time need to be second-level strongmen, but they also need at least three.
In this way, coupled with the support provided by the big man, even if there is a secret second-level strongman beside King Yu, they will be at an absolute advantage in terms of combat power.
According to time calculation, when this letter was sent from the capital, King Yu had not yet left the military camp.
Obviously, someone at the mission had the same plan as them, so they sent the letter in advance.
And the big shot in the capital would help, which was obviously an unexpected surprise.
There are thousands of things to guard against. Since ancient times, domestic thieves have been the most difficult to guard against.
When someone who was considered a big shot in the Dali court secretly provided help, their attempt to sneak into Dali territory was like entering a no-man's land.
As for the secretive second-level powerhouse mentioned in the letter, although everyone was shocked, it did not make them flinch.
