The regent has always been very arrogant and refuses to listen to anyone's suggestions, not to mention that the Duke is his political enemy.
The two expressed their opinions, but the regent had led troops in wars for many years and thought he had rich experience, so he didn't take the Duke's words to heart at all.
"I have made my own decision in my heart, and I don't need your advice as someone who has never led an army before."
Although the words of the regent were unpleasant to listen to, the Duke of Guo was still a person who had an overall view of the situation. After all, this was related to the lives of many soldiers and the prestige of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, ask Commander Wu to follow you behind so that if anything unexpected happens, you can provide timely support."
These words made Feng Nantian even more angry. Was he doubting his ability? Or was he ready to snatch his military exploits at any time to establish prestige in front of everyone?
"No need, just wait at the foot of the mountain."
Seeing the regent's insistence, the Duke did not speak any more. He shook his head helplessly and returned to his tent. Commander Wu also left with the Duke.
"My lord, this regent is too unreasonable. What are your plans this time?"
"What plan can I have? He is too stubborn and will suffer big losses sooner or later. If you don't believe me, just wait. I think these people in the mountains are not only rebels against the party, but also probably bandits."
"Why did the Duke say that?"
The Duke was older than the Prince Regent. Although he had never led an army, he had served as the late Emperor's military adviser many times. He had a thorough analysis of war and was quite powerful in tactics.
"Think about it, these so-called rebels were actually labeled by his regent. They are all soldiers who have fought in the war and are from poor backgrounds. They cannot do such things as rob the people. But the bandits are different. .”
Commander Wu also found this analysis very reasonable, "You mean they are united together?"
"It is normal for these people who have been accused of treason by the regent to join forces with bandits in the mountains in order to defeat him."
There used to be Wang Yiyao's father's old subordinates and soldiers who fought with the late emperor, but now many of them have been killed by the regent on charges of treason.
He was just afraid that Feng Minyi or the current emperor would secretly contact them and overthrow him in one fell swoop. These people hated the regent.
"It's very possible. Many of these people have made military exploits, but now they are forced to have no way out. If it were you, what would you do?"
"Fight back, unite all possible forces, and defeat this regent."
The regent had already started to go up the mountain, with Liehuo following closely behind on horseback.
"Li Huo, let's be careful about ambush this time. Let's ask someone to see if there are any archers first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liehuo waved his hand, and then two people quietly went to find out. They were wearing ordinary people's clothes.
But he was still discovered by someone who was ambushing him in the mountains. "Boss, there are two people who don't look like they belong to the regent."
"No, you see, although they have changed their clothes, they have not changed their shoes. They must be here to inquire. Brothers, don't act rashly. Wait for General Qin's order over there."
These are bandits. They have lived in this mountain for more than ten years. Qin Huai asked them to ambush behind the rocks. When the regent's army arrived, they would throw the rocks below, and then his men would come out to fight against them.
The two people walked a long way inside, looked around carefully, and found no clues. They even climbed up a little way along the path.
"Boss, they found us while climbing up, what should we do?"
"Don't panic, we'll talk about it later."
Unexpectedly, the two people climbed for a while and found that it was very steep, so they began to walk down the mountain.
The two of them trotted back, still a little worried. If there was an ambush, their lives would be in danger.
"For your information, the regent didn't find any archers. We even climbed up the mountain for a while, but we didn't find any."
"Okay, go to the back and put on your jersey. Let's go and capture the rebels. Brothers, come to me."
The regent is full of confidence and ambition, but the soldiers below were exhausted last night and are very weak.
He doesn't have any momentum when he walks. If a fight breaks out soon, he will probably be kicked out by the enemy with one kick.
In the camp where they were stationed, the Duke was a little worried and kept pacing back and forth.
"Commander Wu, you'd better bring a team of soldiers and horses to respond. These bandits are difficult to deal with. They are very clever. Maybe they have already set up an ambush. They grew up in the mountains and are very good at hiding.
.”
If even the rebels cannot be wiped out this time, the prince of other countries will be disgraced, and people's trust in him will be greatly weakened.
"Yes, my subordinate will take people to the mountain to check."
After the regent sent someone to check it out, he felt at ease and led the soldiers behind him to march forward.
"Boss, they are here, should we start?"
The bandits were very happy when they saw that the entire team had begun to walk into the mountains.
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't General Qin say that he would wait until all their people came in here before he started throwing stones?"
The regent, Liehuo and others were completely unaware of the ambush on the mountain. When their team completely entered the mountain, they only heard a whistle.
Then, the rocks from the mountain rolled down like a torrential rain, and the soldiers' heads were smashed and bleeding.
"Fire, let the soldiers stick to the mountain quickly."
"Brothers, get up quickly and keep your body close to the mountain so you won't be hit."
"Haha, boss, they look like ants, they were smashed to pieces by us."
The bandits on the mountain completed their mission and returned to their village in the mountain.
"General Qin, more than half of the regent's people have been wiped out by us. Now it's your turn to take action."
Qin Huai brought his troops outside and looked at the remnants of the regent's army, feeling very happy in his heart.
"Prince Regent, long time no see. Are you satisfied with today's scene?"
"Qin Huai, it's you. See how I deal with you today. Give me the fire."
Li Huo led the remaining men and fought with Qin Huai's men. The regent drew out his sword from his waist, jumped off his horse, and rushed towards Qin Huai to kill him.
Qin Huai was not afraid and evaded his moves with a quick duck. Qin Huai had not stopped refining his martial arts over the years and had improved a lot compared to before.
The regent also noticed that his skills were much deeper, and then used his trump card, swinging his sword like lightning, making the opponent unable to deal with it, but Qin Huai squatted down and directly attacked his calf.
The Prince Regent, who was almost hit, stepped back, terrified in his heart.
