2596. Chapter 2596 The leader of the beggar gang 12
At this time, Xiao Lian, who was watching on the side, hurried over. Hearing his praise, he immediately responded: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. You have got a talent like the Third Prince. Why worry about the injustice in the world?"
Emperor Qi had always been a little jealous of the third prince, but after this "assessment", he found that the third prince was "one in a million" in terms of reaction and intelligence. In addition, Gao Huan was dead and everyone had deserted him.
He didn't have many trusted generals that he could rely on, but he felt that the third prince was a very agreeable person and couldn't be more satisfied.
He immediately hesitated no longer and said loudly: "Okay, okay, Third Prince, you are really a talent. I will make you the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the Qi army, and launching a decisive battle against the Northern Emperor."
The third prince suppressed his heartbeat that almost broke out of his chest and saluted calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
In this way, the third prince successfully controlled all the troops and horses of the Qi State. As a protector, he became the most popular person and the first protector around Emperor Qi. He also truly gained the greatest political capital in his life.
That night, after having a drink with the queen and the emperor, he hurried back to the camp.
At this time, the overall planning of military deployment really started.
He took the map and summoned the army generals for a secret discussion.
But seeing the battle formation, our own army and that of the Northern Kingdom had already set up their formations twenty miles away, just waiting for a showdown. On the Northern Kingdom's side, the Beihuang's base camp and Li Junfeng's base camp were already there, and the two armies were encircled.
He checked the terrain. At this time, Zhang Shan, a general next to him, suddenly said: "Third Prince, we have been stationed in Qingzhou for a long time, but now Marshal Gao is dead, and although this army is large in number, except for the leading army,
Apart from the servicemen and the troops who serve in city wall construction, there are very few truly combat-effective troops left. Even if we have a numerical advantage, it is not enough to compete with the Northern Army. We might as well go back fifteen miles and retreat to Gaoyang Bridge..."
The third prince hurriedly looked at the map and saw that Gaoyang Bridge was located on the traffic chokepoint between the north and the south. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it was not as prosperous as Qingzhou, its strategic position was much more important than Qingzhou.
