Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Thousands of troops have gathered in Nankepo, in the central part of Shenmu Kingdom.

They were all officers and soldiers who had received news from the newspapers, and learned that if they went to Shenmu City to help Hua Yuanzheng, they would be awarded titles.

What is somewhat surprising is that they were not organized by county magistrates from various places.

Instead, when the generals of the city defense troops saw the news, they took them directly to Nankepo, which is the junction of several county towns, to discuss the matter.

The temptation of the title is great for them.

As long as the officers from counties all over the country came here, they basically tacitly agreed to participate in the operation to support Shenmu City.

"Are you all ready?"

Several generals defending the city gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

"It's almost ready. We can leave at any time."

"I hope we won't run into any trouble this time. I heard that His Royal Highness's troops are still patrolling outside. If we run into them, we'll be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of? The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. As long as we can enter Shenmu City, our descendants will all enjoy the benefits. How can you get such a huge benefit so easily? You must take some risks!"

At this point, a ruthless look appeared on everyone's face.

"Damn it, I've been guarding this shithole for most of my life. It's time to give it a try!"

"go!"

Just as they finished their repairs and were about to leave.

On the official road in the distance, a soldier suddenly came stumbling over.

"Generals, don't go! Don't go!"

He rushed to the front of several people with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing this ordinary soldier dare to stop the march of thousands of troops.

Several people were furious and slapped him in the face.

"You have no military discipline at all, and you dare to stop the army going to war?"

"Something happened!"

Although he was slapped, the soldier didn't care too much and quickly spoke up and raised the newspaper in his hand high.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an order, calling on the garrisons of all the counties in Shenmu Kingdom to support him!"

"Anyone who can reach Shenmu City within half a month, regardless of restrictions, will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Centurion-level and above who lead troops there will be promoted half a level!"

"what?!"

"How...how do I choose?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The army that was about to set off also stopped where it was.

There was a sudden buzz of discussion among the troops in the rear who were preparing to leave.

They also heard the news brought by the soldier.

Compared with the conditions given by Hua Yuanzheng.

The conditions offered by Hua Yunhong were obviously several levels lower.

Apart from the promise to raise the ranks of the officers, which is worth mentioning, the ten taels of silver... although it is not a small amount, it is still a bit far from the title promised by Hua Yuanzheng.

"It's safer to follow the prince."

"If you enter Shenmu City and garrison there, you'll risk your life, but you'll earn a title..."

Now everyone was in a dilemma.

This is also what Hua Yunhong hopes to see. Once disagreements arise among them, the army's advance will naturally be slowed down.

Hua Yunhong only needs to concentrate his strength and consume all the defenders of Shenmu City. Then he will have no worries and can easily break in.

"what!"

At this moment, a general suddenly roared.

"We gathered our troops long ago, but now we're suddenly turning around and going to join His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you think they're fools? Can't they see what our original purpose was?"

"Even though he won't attack us now, once he boards the plane, our original intention to help the Fourth Prince will definitely be punished. Don't be naive anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. Instead of staying in the county town for safety reasons, they could just stay there and do nothing.

But now that I'm out, I naturally want better rewards!

"We agreed to give it a try, I want to go!"

"I also need to go!"

"You guys go ahead... I don't want to take any chances."

Just when everyone was already feeling excited.

Some soldiers in the crowd suddenly spoke up, although many people were willing to go over.

But among these people there are still people who hold opposing opinions.

It is precisely for this reason that it is impossible for their troops to leave quickly like this.

Several generals also had some disagreements at this moment, and some even wanted to withdraw.

After nearly two hours of discussion, some of them wanted to stay where they were.

The remaining troops followed them to Shenmu City to help Hua Yuanzheng.

Of course, in addition to them, there is another group of people who are preparing to go directly to Hua Yunhong.

The number of such troops was not too large, only a few thousand people.

The effect it can have in this war is minimal.

But after this round of differentiation, some people stayed where they were.

Some people went to Hua Yunhong, and even fewer people were able to support Hua Yuanzheng and successfully enter Shenmu City.

Although Hua Yunhong's strategy was weakened a bit.

But it still worked.

Hua Yunhong was very satisfied when he received the news.

At this point, there was no need for him to stop them anymore.

Because these people unless the number reaches a certain level.

Otherwise, the impact on the overall situation is actually very limited.

On the other side, Hua Yuanzheng also received a report from Hu Weizhao.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has already published his situation in the newspapers and even offered some conditions, intending to recruit all the soldiers guarding the surrounding cities."

Hu Weichao's face looked very ugly. Their means were now restricted.

Although the two sides are still engaged in a long tug-of-war.

But as time goes by, they will only get weaker.

There are now many voices in the court opposing the Fourth Prince.

They are all fence-sitters. Once they see the Fourth Prince showing signs of decline, they will quickly turn around and leave.

She would even step on him when turning around to leave.

In fact, it was not just them, even Hu Weizhao had a bad feeling in his heart.

But he didn't dare to say it, after all, the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back.

"I've already asked Qin Ming for help. If he's willing to help us this time, everything will still be in time."

It seemed that he could see that Hu Weichao was also a little worried.

At this time, Hua Yuanzheng took the initiative to talk about the situation on Qin Ming's side.

Even Hu Weichao widened his eyes when he heard the name.

He took a few steps back and said in disbelief:

"What? Your Highness, do you know who that is? He's the Emperor of Daqian. If we contact him without permission and the Crown Prince finds out, we'll likely be in an irretrievable situation."

"This is the last line of defense, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon."
