Chapter 817: Barbarian Conspiracy (4)
However, they had never expected that before they could recover, the barbarians would give up on the territory they had occupied and shrink into the inner circle. In the end, they curled up around the entire supreme tribe.
This situation was too bizarre. It made people wonder what these guys were thinking.
Of course, the one who was most concerned about this situation was still Great Chu’s King Sheng You.
King Sheng You was wearing armor and sitting on a chair, looking at the map in front of him.
Beside him, a young man in armor stood upright. His armor was covered in blood.
This young man’s greatest characteristic was his eyes, which were as sharp as two swords.
“Come and take a look. Can you analyze anything?”King You Sheng pointed at the map.
The young man shook his head.” I don’t know either. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t give up their territory. It’s a good thing that they’re shrinking their defenses, but this gives us an opportunity instead. They won’t let us split up and attack, which will shorten the time.”
This action of the Barbarians was too strange, so much so that even King Sheng You could not understand it.
The Heaven Inspectorate also had spies in the Barbarian Race, but these spies did not know what had happened. Even many of the higher-ups did not know.
So now, this matter had become a mystery.
“Imperial Uncle, you mean…” the young man asked.
By addressing him as Imperial Uncle, the identity of this young man was obvious.
The First Prince.
The Emperor actually had nine children, but many of them had died on the battlefield. Only the First Prince was still alive.
After the bloody battle, the First Prince looked calm and sharp. Compared to the other members of the Imperial Family, he had a different temperament.
King Sheng You smiled.” I haven’t figured it out either, so I’ll think about it a little more. But before that, I need to surround them all.””
It was indeed difficult to think of something like this, but since the other party had already shrunk into a circle, he would just surround them.
They didn’t even need to attack. They just surrounded them and let them run out of ammunition and food.
“Yes, sir!” The First Prince agreed and prepared to leave.
But before he could leave, King You Sheng called out to him again.
“We’ve finished discussing business. Now, let’s talk about some private matters.”
The First Prince stopped and looked at King Sheng You in confusion.
“Your sister and Xu Bai are about to get married,” King Shengyou said.”
The First Prince’s eyebrows twitched, but he didn’t show it on his face.
King Sheng You swept a glance at the eldest prince.” Your performance is different from Chu Yu’s. Back then, Chu Yu almost drew her sword and returned to the capital. Why are you so calm? Xu Bai and Chu Ling have already been crowned the king of the barbarians.””
“Since it’s already a fact, there’s no point in me saying more,” the First Prince said.”
That was what he said on the surface, but the First Prince clenched his fists tightly.
King Sheng You came before the First Prince and patted him on the shoulder.”You’ve been following this king at the border ever since you were young. This king knows that you’ve been very bitter and tired.”
“Right now, when we’re about to enfeoff the Berserkers, there’s no place for you. Are you not convinced?”
The First Prince lowered his head and did not speak.
However, it was obvious that he had already tacitly agreed to what King Sheng You had said.
“You can see the Barbarians as a miniature version of the Great Yue State.”
“Chu Ling is my big brother’s representative, and you are my representative.”
“Everyone should do what suits them, just like me and my big brother.”
“You are not suitable for the government, but you are suitable for the border.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The First Prince suddenly raised his head, his face filled with shock.
He understood the meaning behind it. This meant that he would not be conferred the title of king, but he would control the military.
“Really?” The First Prince couldn’t believe it.
King Sheng You patted the Eldest Prince’s shoulder.””Why? Aren’t you happy that you’re taking over my job?”
“What Chu Yu learned is ultimately her mother’s profession, so you’re more suitable.”
“Yes, yes!” The First Prince nodded repeatedly in agreement.
He spent most of his time at the border. To be honest, if he had to choose between two, he would choose the border.
There was no other reason. He had long gotten used to living like a day for the past ten years.
Habits were things that were hard to change.
Therefore, this answer was more acceptable to him.
“Go out. These are all things for the future. Let’s win this battle first.”King Sheng You waved his hand.
The First Prince left happily.
King Sheng You waited for the Eldest Prince to leave, but his expression darkened.
He looked at the map in front of him, but his mind was thinking about the Barbarian Race.
The Barbarian Race wasn’t that simple. The three Saint Realm masters there were all intact.
The reason why he had said it so easily earlier was mainly to stabilize the morale of the army. He only revealed it now that he was alone.
“Why are they shrinking?” King You Sheng rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the chair, deep in thought.
This method would not only cause them to lose their territory, but it would also make them a gathering point, making it easier for Great Chu to surround them.
If it was King Sheng You who was in such a situation, he would definitely not gather. Instead, he would let everyone spread out and constantly harass and resist. This was the best plan.
When the enemy was strong and we were weak, it was better to split up and harass the enemy.
However, the barbarians did the opposite. If there was no conspiracy, King Sheng You would not believe it.
Outside the window, dark clouds filled the sky.
