C2808 The Agreement on the Note
Huang Feng didn't follow the group that was traveling alone. Instead, he continued to stay by the Eighth Prince's side. He had promised Princess Qi that he would ensure the safety of the Eighth Prince. Therefore, it was better to stay by the Eighth Prince's side for the sake of safety. As for the battle ahead, he believed that even without his words... However...
Two days later, in front of a city that the rebel army had occupied... The vanguard forces sent by the Eighth Prince had arrived. Furthermore, they had also sent out a signal according to Huang Feng's request. According to what Huang Feng had said before he left, as long as they sent out the signal... Then, someone would come and receive them.
"Do you think there will really be someone coming to pick us up?" One of the generals asked another general beside him, "Why do I feel that this matter is not so reliable?"
"I think so too." The general beside him also agreed, "The person who said that is the Eighth Prince's bodyguard. He is just a bodyguard, what can he know? Can he still have his own army? "
"Could it be that the Eighth Prince ordered someone to come and pick us up?" The general from before said.
"I don't think that's possible." The person from before said, "I believe you should know the status of the Eighth Prince in the Imperial Court. Before this, there weren't any generals who sided with him. Furthermore... All the princes were not allowed to privately mobilize their troops. How could the Eighth Prince have his own troops? Definitely not."
" I can't get my hands on that. Then, why did that person say that? "
"Who knows? Anyway, the signal has already been sent out according to his instructions. We'll just wait and see. The Eighth Prince also told us that as long as we don't see any reinforcements... Don't expose your existence. We won't be in any danger either. "
"That's true. However, who do you think will win the competition and ascend the throne?"
"I hope it will be the Eighth Prince. After all, we are now under his name. If he can win the competition and ascend the throne in the end, we will leave a good impression on him. He is closer to us than the others, so it will be easier for him to be promoted. However, I think that the three princes might not be able to win in the end. After all, the test was about taking over a city. Before this, whether it was Wu Yan or the other generals, they had all suffered under the hands of those traitors. After losing the battle, do you think that the three inexperienced princes... Can they defeat the rebels? In any case, I don't believe it. "
" That's true. The rebel army has already grown strong. It's not that easy to defeat them. We have to take them seriously. No one knew what Princess Qi was thinking. She actually used such a big matter to test the three princes. Wasn't this just a joke? Once the three princes were defeated again... There aren't many soldiers that can fight in our Great Lu Dynasty. When the time comes, what can we use to defend against the rebel army's counterattack? "
"Although Princess Qi has destroyed the Wu family, in the end, she is just a woman. As a woman, her hair is long and short. She will make such a decision. There is nothing strange about it. It is just that she is betting on the future of the Great Lu Dynasty. It's indeed a little too much. "
"That's right. Sigh. I wonder what will happen to our Great Lu Dynasty's general."
The two generals were deeply worried. In fact, this was also the problem that many of the generals were worried about.
The news of Princess Qi arranging the three princes to undergo the examination had basically spread throughout the entire Great Lu Dynasty. Many people already knew that there were some who agreed and some who opposed it. However, no matter what kind of attitude they had, it was useless. Because the examination had already begun, the three princes had already left the capital. They had started to lead the army to attack the rebel army.
As the generals of the army, they had some understanding of their own strength and the strength of the rebel army.
Although there were indeed many people who did not have any combat strength among the rebel army. However, the elite troops also existed, especially after experiencing two major battles. Many of the rebel soldiers were familiar with the battlefield. After getting used to fighting, their combat strength had increased by more than one level. In addition, as Wang Cheng's reputation spread, more and more people joined him. This had also increased the strength of his army.
As for those people who did not have any combat strength... Although during tough battles... It will not be of much use, but in a smooth battle... When cleaning the battlefield and organizing the logistics, it would play a big role. This was still a huge threat to these imperial armies.
Therefore, these generals knew that these rebels had already become influential. They had to treat them seriously. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would become stronger. At that time, no one would be able to stop them.
However, at this moment, Princess Qi announced the content of the test. This made many of the generals dissatisfied. However, the Imperial Court had already decided. The three princes had also accepted it. Hence... Even if they were to object, it would be useless. What they could do... In other words, they could only do their best to severely injure the rebel army.
While the two of them were chatting, a messenger ran over and passed a piece of paper to the two of them. One of the generals took it.
"What's on the paper?" Another officer asked.
"This note was sent by someone inside. They told us to prepare to enter the city at midnight. When the time comes, they will open the city gate." The general who was reading the note said.
"They are already in the city? Is the news reliable? Don't tell me the spies sent us here to lure us in, and then give us a turtle in a jar. " The general beside him said worriedly.
"I'm not sure." The general who had just read the note said, "If the guard by the Eighth Prince's side is trustworthy... Then... There shouldn't be any problems with this note. However... Can they really open the city gates?"
"Then let's wait until midnight and see! The Eighth Prince had already given his orders anyway. If we're not sure if there really is an insider, then just let us not make any moves."
"Alright, let everyone rest first and recover their spirits."
After that, the troops that rushed over hurriedly found a place to set up camp and recover their spirits so that they could recover their spirits for the battle that might happen at night.
However, even at this time, the two generals were not very sure whether this news was true or if there were spies inside. Even if there were, would the other party really be able to open the city gates?
However, no matter what, they had to wait until the night before they could find out.
As for the guards in the city, they still did not know at this time. Many of them had already mixed in with the people that Huang Feng had arranged. After all... The people of Rebellion Army had come from all directions to seek refuge with Wang Cheng. It was a chaotic situation. They weren't familiar with each other and didn't know each other. It was a very normal thing. Therefore, not many people doubted the people around them.0
