C2815 They Listened to His Every Word
Compared to the distrust he had before, the Eighth Prince now had a lot of trust in Huang Feng. His attitude was sincere and modest.
In the Eighth Prince's mind, since Huang Feng could help him seize a city, besides, Huang Feng also said that the defensive strength of other cities was also weak. In that case, they could totally seize back all the cities that Wang Cheng had occupied in one go. In this way, not only would they be able to severely injure Wang Cheng, but also the rebels. And it can also increase one's prestige.
Because he had already won the competition, the Eighth Prince had already considered the problem and placed himself in the position of Emperor. It was only a matter of time before he became the Emperor.
As the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, the first thing he needed to do was to eliminate all the rebel forces in his territory. Stabilize his rule and establish his prestige. Therefore... The Eighth Prince really wanted to take advantage of the fact that the defenses of the other cities were empty. He wanted to take back those cities and heavily injure Wang Cheng's rebel forces.
Of course, this was only the Eighth Prince's own thoughts. He didn't make his decision arrogantly. Instead, he asked Huang Feng. In his point of view, although Huang Feng was called a guard, but, in the military, better than yourself, more professional, especially since he had already experienced success once. He had directly pushed the Eighth Prince onto the throne, which made the Eighth Prince think in his heart. He had absolute trust in Huang Feng.
Initially, the Eighth Prince thought that Huang Feng would agree with what he said. After all, the defense of the other cities wasn't very strong. This was what Huang Feng said. This was a good opportunity. Huang Feng shouldn't have given up. He would definitely pursue them.
However, what the Eighth Prince didn't expect was that Huang Feng didn't agree with him. Instead, he said, "We won't attack the other cities. We will change our direction. We will ambush Wang Cheng's main force on the other side of the road."
"Why?" The Eighth Prince asked, "Isn't it good to seize the other cities first? At that time, we will accumulate all our strength and fight Wang Cheng's main force. Our chances of winning will be very high."
"No." Huang Feng said, saying, "Wang Cheng should already know about the fall of that city. In order to prevent the other cities from falling... If the same situation occurred again, he would definitely give the order. Let the other cities strengthen their defense, although their combat strength is still so weak. However, if they raised their vigilance and had the help of the city's defenses... Although they may not be able to completely block our attacks... However... He will definitely be able to hold on for a period of time. Furthermore... It will also consume our strength. At that time, Wang Cheng's main force will arrive. We might not be a match for them. "
Hearing Huang Feng's words, the Eighth Prince felt ashamed in his heart.
Previously, Huang Feng had suggested that the Eighth Prince send out all the cavalry. They would attack a few cities at the same time, but at that time, the Eighth Prince still didn't completely trust Huang Feng. At the same time, for the sake of safety, he only sent a portion of the cavalry. Moreover, he only attacked one city. In his mind, if what Huang Feng said was true... Then, he would be able to conquer that city. He would also be able to win the examination and then attack the other cities.
The Eighth Prince had the intention to protect a portion of the cavalry, but from the looks of it, his cautiousness had caused him to miss the chance to take over the other cities.
"Your Highness, you don't need to feel disheartened." Huang Feng could see what the Eighth Prince was thinking and comforted him, "Although it is true that we have missed the best opportunity to attack the other cities. However, Wang Cheng is not sure that we will not attack. His logistical supplies and some of the soldiers' families are in the cities at the back. So, they don't dare to let us wreak havoc behind them. They will definitely lead the army back as soon as possible, and this is our chance."
At this moment, Huang Feng and the Eighth Prince had also received the news. First Prince and the Third Prince had been defeated one after another, and they had suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, First Prince and the Third Prince were not in any danger. Both armies were severely injured. This was definitely a huge blow to the Imperial Court. It also caused the soldiers of the Imperial Court to feel a lot more afraid of the rebels.
Luckily, the Eighth Prince's side had obtained a good result at this moment, allowing the morale of the Imperial Court to recover a little.
"Although Wang Cheng has defeated the two princes' troops and obtained a good result, he still managed to defeat them. What? That's because they are extremely exhausted, but their combat strength is still somewhat high. Wang Cheng must have paid a price for defeating them. Plus, he must be in a hurry to return. We can totally let the cavalry in front of us... Making it look like they were going to attack the other cities at any time made Wang Cheng even more anxious. After that, our main force will ambush them on the way. Exterminate them in one fell swoop! " Huang Feng continued.
Hearing Huang Feng's analysis, the Eighth Prince's eyes lit up again, and he nodded his head. "Alright, we'll do as you said!"
Currently, the Eighth Prince had a lot of trust in Huang Feng. The plan that Huang Feng had mentioned was much better than what he had said before. He naturally knew what to do now.
"When I return to the capital and ascend to the throne, I will definitely treat you well." The Eighth Prince promised.
The Eighth Prince was full of confidence in ascending to the throne. He had completed the content of the examination and seized a city. First Prince and the Third Prince had been defeated one after another. Therefore, the throne must be his.
And becoming the Emperor wasn't the end of everything. Instead, it was the beginning, a new beginning. He wanted to rule this country well. He needed the help of others, and Huang Feng was clearly a talent that he needed. Therefore, he promised Huang Feng that he would recruit Huang Feng to his side. The Eighth Prince believed that as long as he asked Princess Qi for help, he would do it. Princess Qi would let Huang Feng go.
However, Huang Feng only smiled at the Eighth Prince's solicitation. And... He didn't give any reply. The Eighth Prince thought that he would show his gratitude. He did not appear. In fact, the Eighth Prince nodded. Huang Feng really didn't care about it. There were so many countries outside the pass, and he had unified them all. In other space-time, he had also been the Emperor. The Eighth Prince's nod was nothing. If Huang Feng really had any ideas, he would snatch the throne from the Eighth Prince. It was also a very difficult thing to do.
However, Huang Feng didn't want to do that. It could be seen from Princess Qi's attitude. She still had feelings for her nephew. She didn't want anything to happen to them, so naturally, it wouldn't be good for Huang Feng to kill the Eighth Prince. Even if Princess Qi didn't know about it, she would find someone to replace him. Huang Feng himself couldn't accept it either.
