That night, Murong Yu, who was preparing for war, received a reply from the other two princes.
The Third Prince said that he was busy with military affairs and did not have the time to come.
The Fifth Prince said that Murong Yu did not have the right to invite him and rejected his invitation.
From this, it could be seen that the Ninth Prince, Murong Yu, did not have much status among his brothers and was not respected.
"Forget it, I'll go look for them."
Murong Yu thought for a moment, then stood up and prepared to leave for the two princes' barracks.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Qin Yi.
"My two brothers are in danger. I think I should try my best to persuade them."
Murong Yu did not feel angry at Qin Yi's behavior. Instead, he began to explain to Qin Yi.
"There's no need for that."
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Right now, we have the upper hand. If we humble ourselves, people will look down on us."
Murong Yu frowned, "Then you mean..."
The corner of Qin Yi's lips curled up, "Wait! When one of them suffered a defeat and was terrified, they would naturally come knocking on his door. Plus, I think it won't be long before Murong Ping launches his attack. "
"If that's the case, won't their military strength be weakened?"
This was what Murong Yu was worried about. The Eldest Prince, Murong Ping, had a strong military force. Even though he had six hundred thousand men, he was still lacking compared to Murong Ping.
From his point of view, Qin Yi wanted to ally with the other two princes because he wanted to combine their military strength. Only then would they be able to fight against Murong Ping.
However, after hearing this, Qin Yi shook his head and said, "The key to military strength is quality, not quantity. As long as we use them properly, six hundred thousand soldiers can easily devour a million strong army! What's more, when they take the initiative to seek refuge with you, the initiative will be safely in your hands. If you go to them now, you will only be helping them. "
Murong Yu stared fixedly at Qin Yi. It was obvious that he had never imagined that the youth in front of him would have such great ambitions! Six hundred thousand soldiers could devour one million soldiers. The difference of four hundred thousand soldiers was not a small number. Could it be that such a huge difference could be overcome through proper use?
Moreover, Qin Yi had already said it before. Huang Chengji, who came from the Silver Snow Country, had at least brought a group of elite troops with him. In this way, the disparity in strength became even greater.
Could they really win a battle with such a great disparity in strength?
In any case, he had dealt with these guys for ten years and had never heard of such a thing.
However, no matter what, Qin Yi was right. Although this would cause a great loss to the troops brought by his two brothers, it would naturally allow him to take control.
Although he was a kind-hearted person, he was not completely without schemes and shrewdness. Since he wanted to seize the throne, he had to take the initiative. He couldn't let the other two outshine him.
"Alright! I'll listen to you! "
After pondering for a while, Murong Yu agreed with Qin Yi. Then, he asked again, "What should I do next?"
Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly. He said, "Nothing. Train the soldiers in peace and wait for the people who ask for help to come."
Murong Yu asked doubtfully, "Will they really come? I'm afraid they won't even think of me. "
From the other party's reply, it could be seen that the other two princes did not put Murong Yu in their eyes at all. If it really came to this, would they really think of coming to seek shelter from him?
Obviously, Murong Yu did not have absolute confidence in this point.
"I've always thought that you're a rather bold person." Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Now it seems that you're not as outstanding as the information I received."
Hearing this, Murong Yu's brows slightly furrowed.
Qin Yi said, "Since you have such ambition and confidence in yourself, then put aside all your worries and let things develop. Trust me, things will definitely develop as we imagined. "
Murong Yu said, "Alright! Then I'll trust you and myself! "
…
Just as Qin Yi had predicted, on the third day after his conversation with Murong Yu, the person in charge of intelligence sent the latest news. Murong Ping was uncharacteristically attacking the Third Prince's and the Fifth Prince's camps at the same time.
Most importantly, many experts suddenly appeared in his camp, as well as a group of rather valiant troops.
It was with the help of these sudden reinforcements that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were utterly defeated. In just one day, they lost more than half of their troops. Although both sides were still resisting with all their might, it was obvious that defeat was only a matter of time.
"It's exactly as he said."
After receiving the news, Murong Yu locked himself in his own camp. His face was full of astonishment. "Although I had expected this, I still couldn't help but be shocked after receiving the news. Is this … the true strength of the experts from the Snow Willow Region? In that case, does that guy surnamed Qin also have this kind of ability? "
Then, he said, "Looking at the time, if they're really coming to my camp, they should be here soon, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion coming from outside.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? Let me in, I want to see Murong Yu! "
"Third Highness, Ninth Highness is currently handling some important matters. You can't go in!"
"Bullsh * t! What could be more important than his brother's life? Let me in! "
"Third Highness, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yu's voice came from inside, "Let him in. Also, invite Mr. Qin here."
"Yes!"
A reply came from outside the tent. Soon, a short and fat man rushed in from outside.
The man's face was covered in blood and his armor was tattered. He had even lost one of his shoes. Coupled with his disheveled hair, he was in an extremely sorry state.
"Third Brother, please sit."
Murong Yu did not mock the Third Prince because of his sorry state. Instead, he politely invited him to sit.
