"The general will obey the prince's teachings!" Everyone shouted in unison.

There was only one person among them, and his expression was solemn, without any hint of joy.

"Prince, I dare to ask, who is the general candidate for this northwest camp?"

Lian Zhan is indeed an old fox.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly, he was the only one who grasped the key point.

Li Yunxing arranged for a commanding officer and filled the vacancy of a captain in the battalion, but he never mentioned the most important position.

Who should take the position of general?

Lian Zhan was already the Grand Sima, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Wu Dynasty, and could not be stationed in the military camp all year round.

So in this position, does Li Yunxing have some tricks up his sleeve?

"General Lian, do you know how powerful the four camps are now?"

Lian Zhan was stunned for a moment and then replied.

"The Northeast Camp is stationed in Youzhou, and Qin Zhongyi leads the troops to resist the Huns' invasion. Most of their soldiers are good at riding, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."

"The southeastern camp is supervised by Liu's eldest son. It is located at the junction of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. It is a fertile land. Although its soldiers are small in number, they are better because of their well-equipped equipment."

"I heard that General Gong Yekang of the Southwest Camp was an extremely slippery man and a rare neutral. He had been in Yizhou for many years but never asked about political affairs."

Li Yunxing nodded when he heard this, "The analysis is accurate. Then how many of their eyes and ears do you think there are in this camp?"

This question immediately asked Lian Zhan.

Judging from the fact that Qin Zhongyi did not hesitate to let his son lurk deep into the northwest camp.

Each faction will definitely place its own spies in each military camp.

Maybe, the news that the prince had killed Zhang Jinyu and crushed Qin Sheng had already spread to all the forces in the Wu Dynasty.

"So, Your Highness wants to choose a bride through hydrangea?"

"Exactly."

Lian Zhan had to sigh in his heart, this is the emperor's mind.

Even if it is known that there are informants in the army, if a forced investigation is carried out, the already slack military morale may completely collapse.

Let's just use a hydrangea trick to choose a bride and deliberately leave the general's position vacant.

Use the position of general as a hydrangea to lure out all the rats and insects hiding in dark corners.

It is extremely difficult to catch rats when they are lurking.

But when they want to find "food", that's the best time to start.

Those who are determined to gain power and position will definitely work hard to get the upper hand.

However, this move may be even more dangerous for Zhan Jun.

Lian Zhan and Uncle Zhan were present, but their expressions were solemn.

Li Yunxing did not force him and asked Zhan Jun directly.

"Zhan Jun, do you know what it means to choose a bride with Hydrangea?"

Zhan Jun is young, but he is by no means stupid.

"I understand that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to select a good minister from the army as a general."

"Then you know that as a captain, you also have this opportunity."

"I thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your grace." After saying that, Zhan Jun knelt down.

Li Yunxing waved his hand to prevent him from kneeling.

Zhan Jun clenched his hands into fists and froze in place with his knees half-bent. He didn't know why.

"Having this opportunity also means that others will take away your opportunity. It may be that your reputation is damaged, it may be that you are missing an arm or a leg, or it is more likely that Commander Zhan will send the white-haired person to the black-haired person."

"I can give you this opportunity, or I can withdraw your order."

"Now you can think clearly before answering me. Do you want this opportunity? Or don't you want it?"

Although Lian Zhan and Uncle Zhan have been close friends for many years, it does not mean that he is willing to let Zhan Jun take the risk.

But things are like this in the world. If you are unwilling to take risks, you are not worthy of tasting the fruits of victory.

If you want to follow Li Yunxing, you must be prepared to lose your head at any time.

Only by fighting a bloody path can one be qualified to stand in front of Li Yunxing and enjoy glory and wealth.

Zhan Jun gritted his teeth, seeming to have made some important decision.

"I have no regrets, please grant it to Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"Very good. Since you choose to stay, you should know that this road is destined to be bumpy and difficult."

"I... am willing to risk my life and fight for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Yunxing nodded with satisfaction and turned to say: "Commander Zhan, I admire your son for having such courage at such a young age."

Uncle Zhan didn't dare to take a deep breath the whole time.

Only he knew that the question given by the prince just now was not a multiple-choice question at all, but a judgment question.

Zhan Jun regretted it out of fear, which means he chose the wrong answer and died.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, that is, you don’t ask what is right or wrong, just do what the king wants.

Fortunately, Zhan Jun's answer satisfied the prince very much.

"Now that the chaos in the northwest camp has been resolved, I will return to the capital first. There are still many things that I need to do."

"Farewell to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Uncle Zhan and others knelt down and bowed, while Lian Zhan returned to the capital with Li Yunxing.

Secretly traveling with Li Yunxing were Jiang Chang and the Xiuyiwei led by Jiang Shan.

But this time the journey back to the city was more difficult than Li Yunxing imagined.

"Master, please save us..."

At the post station, which was still a hundred miles away from the capital, Li Yunxing and Lian Zhan prepared to rest for half an hour to let their horses rest before setting off.

Perhaps it was because Li Yunxing was wearing a python robe embroidered with gold thread, which made him look unusual.

Many beggars in ragged clothes knelt beside him, praying for some money.

But Li Yunxing is a prince, when has he ever had money when he went out?

"Guangguangguan, get out of here, disturb our business, be careful not to even leave any leftover leaves for you!"

When the waiter came up with tea, he saw an old man about to grab Li Yunxing.

Although he didn't know who Li Yunxing was, looking at Lian Zhan next to him, who looked so murderous, he knew he was an official.

He quickly kicked the old man away and did not allow him to enter the tea room again.

The old man didn't dare to say anything. They had fled all the way from Jingzhou to this place in order to escape the flood.

The waiter in this shop looks fierce, but he still distributes the daily leftovers to the victims of the disaster.

So he just looked at the waiter in a flattering manner and walked out of the gate of the inn.

Li Yunxing frowned and glanced around, "There are so many beggars here?"

Xiao'er waved his hand to indicate that this was not the case, "Master, you don't know something. These are the victims of the Jingzhou disaster who fled here."

When he mentioned the floods in Jingzhou, Li Yunxing's expression became even more solemn.

"Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. How did they get here?"

The waiter sighed, "We haven't walked all the way. I heard that most of the people died on the way."

"Then why are you running away? Didn't the imperial court just allocate relief food?"

"It wasn't even distributed to them, it was given to them by those corrupt officials..."

I was originally going to give a lecture filled with righteous indignation, but looking at Li Yunxing's appearance, he was either rich or noble.

If he is from the Liu family, then he will definitely not be able to eat and carry around.

Then the waiter changed his tone and said, "I have always heard other people's nonsense. Sir, please just think that I am talking nonsense."

After that, no matter what Li Yunxing said.
Chapter completed!
