Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were transporting food and supplies, guarded by soldiers in full uniform. Food and supplies were the most important assets of the army and must not be lost.

The cavalry in southern Beijing had started a forced march, covering a hundred miles a day, and had successfully arrived in Jizhou from the capital, and were resting on the outskirts of a county town in Jizhou Prefecture.

The army was so powerful that the local county magistrate dared not say much. However, they did not enter the city, but camped outside the county.

They would bypass the county town early the next morning. Although it would take them a dozen miles longer, it would avoid disturbing the people. This was also the marching route jointly decided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Military Marquis Fang Xuanwu, and General Chen Feibao of Jingnan.

The soldiers set up temporary tents and the cooks began to cook for the entire army. Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air.

Fang Xuanwu, Shangguan Wan'er, Chen Feibao and others discussed military intelligence while eating.

Although they did not encounter the King of Chu's army along the way, they did not take it lightly and were adjusting their battle plans based on the latest battle reports.

Chen Feibao said: "Before the King of Chu was enfeoffed, he guarded the border for many years and promoted many of his confidants to serve as generals in various places. Several generals in Qi and Lu were his men.

It may be a bit troublesome for us. They may have received the letter from the King of Chu a long time ago. Our army is inevitably tired after a long march, and the combat effectiveness is inevitably greatly reduced. Some old and weak soldiers have weakened before the battle, and they blocked us halfway, waiting for us to tire ourselves out. "

Chen Feibao said: "There is nothing we can do about the casualties in the battle. We can only hope for the best. However, we should use courtesy before force to deal with the minions of the King of Chu in Qi and Lu. It is better not to fight if we can."

Shangguan Wan'er also hoped to fight less. After all, they were all soldiers of Daxia. A mutual defeat would only benefit the enemy country. If they could persuade them to surrender, they would do so first. Of course, if they met the diehards of the King of Chu, they would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Those stubborn people who have completely surrendered to the King of Chu will definitely not join the side of the Crown Prince, a crown prince with only the title, with no money and no power.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "Leave those local officials who surrendered to the King of Chu to me! I have a way to make them change their flags."

Chen Feibao suggested arranging an official position for Shangguan Wan'er in the Jingnan Army. She is the daughter of the governor of Dongdu, and she will assist in military affairs as the head of the Military Intelligence Department, but it would be difficult to speak without a proper position, so it would be better for her to have a position in the army.

Military Marquis Fang Xuanwu said: "General Chen's words make sense. You still have the final say on how to arrange it. The soldiers will follow your lead."

The three of them began to discuss the issue of adding guards for the prince. The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty had his own guards, but Li Jiao was hastily restored to the throne and had not had time to form a crown prince guard.

Shangguan Wan'er suggested: "General Chen, now that the King of Chu sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a thorn in his side, he must get rid of him as soon as possible. It is imperative to set up a guard dedicated to protecting the Crown Prince. We can select 500 new recruits from the previous recruitment and train them individually. Their mission is to protect the safety of the Crown Prince."

Chen Feibao said: "The suggestion made by the superior officer is very good. If the military marquis has no objection, I suggest that it be handled accordingly."

Military marquis Fang Xuanwu said: "Five hundred people are too many, about three hundred people, the guards are not about quantity but quality."

As for Crown Prince Li Jiao, now that he has the power to command the army, it is legitimate for him to arrange his own troops.

He took the opportunity of the drill outside the capital to summon out the 10,000 'Guaning Iron Cavalry' given by the system, and let Wu Sangui lead the army, under the banner of the prince's personal army, to go straight to Qi and Lu to block the Chu King's army from advancing towards the capital.
