Yunzhou.

Zhennan Palace.

"How's the situation with the Baili people?"

Su Heng spoke up and asked Zhao Gao behind him.

"No action was taken, and the second option was obviously chosen."

Zhao Gao opened his mouth and replied.

Hearing this, Su Heng was not at all surprised.

"Wang Chun."

Su Heng opened his mouth and called out, and then Wangchun, who was waiting outside the door, walked in.

"Send the order, have Uncle Mu lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Baili tribe's army head-on."

This time Wangchun learned his lesson. He didn't say anything else. He just responded and walked out.

"Let Luowang's top assassins take action and kill the Baili tribe's leaders."

"I will destroy the Baili people, from head to toe."

Su Heng spoke to Zhao Gao and gave him orders.

The place where the Baili people live is full of high mountains, poisonous insects and miasma, but it is also an excellent treasure trove of resources, including many rare spiritual medicines.

Moreover, the Baili people have a good geographical location. They are connected to Nanzhao in the south and serve as a buffer zone between the southern border and Nanzhao.

If we capture the Baili tribe, it will be much easier to launch military operations against Nanzhao in the future.

"How's the setup of the net going?"

Su Heng opened his mouth and asked.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and Daqian will definitely stand on opposite sides in the future, so if you can make some plans now, then do so.

Luo Wang is not only an expert in assassination, but also a great expert in gathering information.

It will do no harm for the Prince of Zhennan's Palace to spread the net all over Daqian as soon as possible.

"We have already sent troops to various locations in Daqian, but it will probably take some time for them to develop."

"However, the distribution in the seven southern states may be faster."

Zhao Gao thought for a while and then began to answer Su Heng's question.

"Ah."

Su Heng responded without saying anything else. He didn't need to worry about such matters.

...

Ningzhou.

As the southernmost province in the southern border, Ningzhou borders the Baili and Jiuli tribes.

And today, a hundred thousand troops are stationed at the border, waiting for the order to charge into the territory of the Baili people.

Inside the tent.

"Ah, the prince is really ridiculous. If the Baili tribe was so easy to attack, how could the prince be defeated here?"

"Yes! The Baili tribe is located in a place with a variety of terrains, full of poisonous insects and wild beasts, and filled with miasma and poisonous fog. If our army enters it, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

"I think it would be better if the prince could take back his decision!"

"That's easy to say, but now that the prince has just passed away, the prince is eager to make achievements and establish his prestige. How can he be so easily persuaded?"

Inside the tent, Mu Shan, the confidant of the former King Zhennan, was wearing armor and sitting high in the tent, constantly wiping the spear in his hand.

The other generals in the army argued with each other, believing that now was not the best time to take action against the Baili people.

"All right."

Mu Shan placed the spear in his hand horizontally on the table and glanced at the generals present.

Mu Shan is a middle-aged man who looks extremely elegant. If he were not wearing this armor, it is not impossible that someone would believe that he is a Confucian scholar from the academy.

Mu Shan swept his eyes over everyone present, and the tent that was originally full of quarrels became quiet.

Obviously, Mu Shan has great prestige in the army.

"The prince has been so kind to us, and now he's been murdered by a traitor. If we don't do anything, wouldn't we be letting him down?"

"But we can't take our brothers' lives..."

Noticing the look his general was giving him, the general shut his mouth and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty's kindness to us is as great as a mountain. Without Your Majesty, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"Even if all the members of the Zhennan Army die in battle today, the Baili people will pay for their blood debt with blood."

"If you don't want to, leave now, or don't blame me for my spear not recognizing you."

After Mu Shan finished speaking, the generals present lowered their heads.

"Shen..."

"General, the prince has sent an envoy."

Just as Mu Shan was about to assign tasks, a soldier entered the tent to report.

Hearing this, the generals present couldn't help but frown.

If the prince sent an envoy at this time to supervise the battle, it would be fine, but if he had the intention of giving orders, it would be nothing but nonsense.

"Please invite the person in."

After all, he is an envoy sent by the prince, so he should observe the proper etiquette.

It would be fine if the other party just supervises the battle, but if he gives blind orders, don't blame him for disobeying military orders when he is away.

Mu Shan and others looked towards the tent door and saw three people walking in from outside.

All three of them were hidden in black robes, and their figures made it impossible to tell whether they were men or women. The one in the front seemed to be the superior.

Except for the first person, the remaining two people gave people a vague sense of threat.

Mu Shan frowned slightly. You know, he is a powerful grandmaster. Only a grandmaster can make him feel threatened.

One Grand Master, or two?

Where did the prince find these people?

"To the tent."

Just as Mu Shan was about to speak, the black-robed man at the head spoke first.

Hearing this voice, Mu Shan was stunned at first, but quickly reacted.

Everyone entered the tent together.

Su Heng sat where Mu Shan had sat before. The two men in black robes stood guard on both sides of Su Heng.

Seeing this, the generals all looked extremely ugly.

Even if you are an envoy sent by the prince, you cannot be so arrogant!

As soon as he arrived, he sat in the host seat. Does this mean that the guest should take the lead?

"Your servant, Mu Shan, greets the Crown Prince."

Mu Shan had no objection and bowed.

what?

Shizi?

The prince came in person?

Nonsense!

Now that the prince has just died, if something happens to the prince again, how will they explain to the prince?

Su Heng took off his hat, revealing his true face.

Lu Zhangke and He Biweng also took off their robes, revealing their faces.

Seeing that it was really the prince himself, the other generals saluted with fists.

"Meet the prince."

As the prince's confidants, they had naturally met the prince.

"No need to be so polite, everyone, please take a seat!"

Su Heng's purpose of coming here is very simple, which is to destroy the Baili tribe.

His father's power is his father's power. Those people obey his father, but not necessarily him.

Nowadays, among the major families, there are also many fence-sitters who are in a wait-and-see state.

It's nothing more than hesitation about whether it's worth betting on.

He has little prestige among many people in the southern border.

But if we conquer the Baili tribe, it will be a different story.

Whether for public or private reasons, he must conquer the Baili tribe.

"Sir, leave this to us. Even if all of us die in battle, we will definitely avenge the prince."

"If something unexpected happens while the prince is here, how will we explain it to the prince?"

Mu Shan spoke, his expression sincere and not fake.

"Yes! Prince, you should go back to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion!"

"Please ask the prince to return to the Zhennan Palace!"

Many generals present spoke up, but Su Heng paid no attention to them. Instead, he glanced at everyone present with interest.

Are there any of these people who have been bribed by Li Qian’s royal family?

"General Mu, please stay. Everyone else, please leave."

Su Heng spoke and gave an order.

Uncle Mu is as close as a brother to my father and can be absolutely trusted.

"this..."

The generals present looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Mu Shan.

"What? My words as a prince are useless?"

Su Heng's face also turned cold, and the two Xuanming Elders also cooperated very well, releasing the aura of a late grandmaster.

"Please forgive me, my lord."

"I resign from my humble position."
