Huang Yuchen looked at his elder brother's eyes intently, and felt his expression suddenly become serious. He realized in his heart that the words of the elder brother behind might really involve secrets.

"Little brother." Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly and said softly: "What I said to you later should not have been told to you. The father has long planned for your future, and the elder brother also thinks that it is the most suitable path for you, but now that things have come to this, I can only tell you. After knowing these things, you will no longer be a prince hidden in tears. You must grow into a real warrior. I will ask you again, have you decided to take this path?" Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Yuchen's eyes and his tone was firm.

The eldest brother had never spoken to him like this. Huang Yuchen knew in his heart that what he wanted to say later was much more important than before. It would be impossible to get out of the real battlefield after knowing the real thing.

But this time he accidentally returned, thinking about the affairs of his family and country, and reshaping the rivers and mountains. So, without any hesitation, he nodded to Huang Yuanwu and said firmly: "I have decided, brother, tell me."

"Okay." Huang Yuanwu nodded, as if he had put down a huge rock in his heart. His whole body became much more relaxed after Huang Yuchen made a decision.

In Huang Yuanwu's heart, his youngest brother Huang Yuchen was the one he was most worried about. Now that Huang Yuchen has decided to join the battle, the subsequent things will be much easier.

"You said, you saw several generals discussing matters with me before. Do you know what happened? What's the matter if I sent them out?" Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Huang Yuchen again, but with a smile on his face and his tone became softer.

Huang Yuchen shook his head when he heard this, indicating that he was not clear. But he looked at his elder brother's condition and knew what important decisions had been made in his elder brother's mind, otherwise his entire personality would not have changed so much.

"Do you know that under the rule of my Eastern Prince's Mansion, there are twenty cities, which are divided into four parts, responsible for the military source, food, military armor, and taxes on the border." Huang Yuanwu continued.

"I know this." Huang Yuchen nodded and said, "This is the strategy set by his father back then. The twenty parts are composed of four parts, each performing their own duties. They are also the logistics support for our entire border."

"Yes." Huang Yuanwu said: "The few generals I sent out just now asked them to set out one step in advance, go to a few main cities, and inform the four lords that I will go to inspect twenty cities starting tomorrow." After Huang Yuanwu said that, he seemed to have thought of something troublesome again, his smile calmed down and gently stroked his beard.

"This should be your normal inspection, brother. What should I worry about?" Huang Yuchen said in confusion: "The twenty cities under our rule have always been loyal and have never had any trouble. Now my elder brother is just going to inspect, so why are you worried?"

"It is precisely because of this that my elder brother has concerns." Huang Yuanwu took his breath and said softly: "The twenty cities are divided into four parts, led by four city lords. These four city lords are loyal to their father and have no intention of having two hearts. But now the father's life and death are uncertain, and what will happen next cannot be said."

Huang Yuchen was stunned after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you afraid that they... will not obey your order?"

Huang Yuanwu said: "The father's life and death are uncertain, and he did not leave anything before leaving. The four city lords only knew that the father returned to the hinterland and quelled the rebellion of the three kings, but they should not know about being besieged in the inner city." After saying that, he paused and continued: "Although I am the young master of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, I have not been officially granted the title. I am not the real Eastern Prince. The whereabouts of my father are unknown, and the four city lords only listen to the orders of the father. But if the father really dies in the battlefield, the subsequent things... are very difficult."

After hearing this, Huang Yuchen understood what his elder brother meant.

The four city lords under the rule of the Eastern King were responsible for the internal staff on the entire front line of the Eastern King's Mansion.

The front line of the East King has always been external, so the East King's Mansion is generally built on the edge of the border, and all the twenty cities under his rule are in the hinterland behind it. If this civil strife is not over and the East King is killed in the battlefield, the hinterland will become the front line. The four city lords have soldiers, generals, and food. They were originally the main logistics city under the command of the East King, but if the East King dies in the battle and the hinterland becomes the front line, will these city lords have any changes in their hearts, and will they obey the orders of Emperor Yuanwu and be unanimous to the outside world. That is a bit unsure.

But if you lose the twenty cities in your belly, it would be a fool to want to support the plan to restore the country alone. Without logistics supplies and wanting to fight, you are just dreaming.

Huang Yuchen thought about it and understood that the elder brother was concerned about it, and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry. At this moment, the four city lords will not know about their father. When they go there, they will see each other one by one, and they will have a look in their hearts. When the third brother brings back the troops, if there are still people who have a rebellious heart, we will rush our troops and put them down and put them down."

After hearing Huang Yuchen's words, Huang Yuanwu smiled bitterly and said, "What you think is simple. Don't talk about how many soldiers your third brother can bring back. Even if you bring them all back, the elder brother has other uses. These twenty cities are originally the confidants of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. If you draw swords at them, will anyone follow them to quell the war? Most of our troops are from twenty cities. If the soldiers attack their fellow villagers, do you think they will listen?"

"Uh..." Huang Yuchen was suddenly stunned by what Huang Yuanwu said. He thought things too simply.

Soldiers are also humans. People have feelings. Although soldiers take obedience as their duty, there is a prerequisite. If the commander really asks them to draw swords to their hometown, at the least they will not respect the orders, and at the worst, the army will mutiny, and then they will become out of control. They also say that reviving the prayer for heaven, reorganizing the mountains and rivers, and living are all luxury hopes.

Huang Yuchen frowned, thought about this matter carefully, and stopped talking nonsense.

He knew very little about the battlefield and the officialdom, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a white man. In Huang Yuchen's mind, the battle on the battlefield was the one who had the final say. Although he had read many military books and war strategies before, many classic battles were recorded, the books did not record everything in detail. After he was truly immersed in the scene, he realized that the battle on the battlefield was not just about drawing swords to face each other. Instead, he started to compete long before the battle began.

"I took it for granted, brother." Huang Yuchen said softly with a slight apology, "Brother, do you have any countermeasures? Can you tell me?"

"You have no experience on the battlefield, and I don't blame you for saying this." Huang Yuanwu sighed and said, "Although I have a countermeasure in my mind, I still have no idea if I haven't implemented it."

"Brother, tell me." Huang Yuchen said: "Although I don't have any experience in the battlefield, I have more people to discuss and have more ideas."

"These four city lords..." Huang Yuanwu said softly: "Each of the four city lords is a talent for the world, and they all have the power of a general. They have followed their father to fight the world and make great contributions, otherwise the father would not have handed over such an important matter to them. But..." As he said that, Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Yuchen with doubts in his eyes and said: "But whether they will listen to my orders, whether their father is trapped, whether they will disrespect the orders and attack without authorization, I still have no idea. If the news of the father being trapped reaches them, I don't know what actions they will do."

After hearing this, Huang Yuchen fell into deep thought and frowned slightly. This matter was indeed a bit tricky, but then he thought, didn’t the elder brother have arranged for the general to pass on the message and said that he would go on inspection soon? It seems that the elder brother already had a countermeasure in his mind.

"Brother." Huang Yuchen said: "Since you have decided to go to inspect, you are afraid that they will have any abnormal movements after hearing the news of your father. Since this news will inevitably come and hear it from others, it is better for them to hear it from the elder brother, so that they can take the initiative, and they will not feel that their elder brother is concerned about them."

Huang Yuanwu nodded: "The plan is decided, but when faced with these four city lords, the elder brother still took some care of it. Alas..."

Huang Yuchen was a little stunned. He had never seen his elder brother feel this way of feeling for anyone, and Huang Yuanwu had never felt so difficult because of anything. Looking at Huang Yuanwu's state, Huang Yuchen was a little puzzled in his heart, what kind of role these four city lords were.

He had never seen these four city lords before, but he knew that there were these four people. As for their past and friendship with his father, he didn't know anything.

"Brother." Huang Yuchen frowned slightly and said, "Why are you so frowning? You have never seen you like this before the car arrives in the mountain. No matter how much these four city lords say, they are also the father's confidant. You are the young master of the East Mansion. They will not do anything to you, right?"

"I'm not afraid of what they do to me." Huang Yuanwu shook his head and said, "But each of them has a close relationship with his father. Decades of friendship on the battlefield have been cut out one by one. If they really learn that his father is trapped, even if I am afraid, they will not be able to order them. They will rush up to attack the imperial capital and save his father's water and fire."

"This..." Huang Yuchen didn't know what to say. He thought that the eldest brother would be afraid of these four city lords turning against each other, but now he saw that the eldest brother was not worried about this at all, but was worried that these people would immediately jump out to save their father when they heard the news of the father. If they really did this, it would hinder the eldest brother's overall plan later. Although he knew about the four city lords, he did not know what the relationship between the four city lords and the father.

"What are the origins of these four city lords...Brother, can't you suppress them?" Huang Yuchen asked in confusion.

"The Lord of the Four City..." Huang Yuanwu took his breath and looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Liu Yuanliu is a high-level warrior. He used to be the general of the Pioneer Camp under his father's command. He was loyal to his father. On the battlefield, he was a man in charge of the pass and fought bravely to fight the enemy. He had been fighting on the battlefield for decades and was injured countless times. As long as the tasks taken by the Pioneer Camp have never been completed, he will never stop before completing the task. In addition, his fierce fighting technique is ruthless, and he will never stop. This is the title of Liu Buxi. This person was promoted by the father and is very loyal, but this person is willing to die. Other things are fine, but if it is really involved in the safety of the father, it is very difficult for him to convince him."

"Ye Guan, General Ye." Huang Yuanwu continued: "The cultivation level of a high-level warrior is a long sword, with a sharp iron like mud, and his body is light. He cultivates a rare Feng Douyi. He was the battalion commander of his father's garrison battalion. He was the personal guard of his father until many years ago. He was quick-thinking, profound in cultivation, and proficient in both literary and martial arts. He is known as the two heroes of the Eastern Palace together with the current deputy commander of the Eastern Palace. If he had not been seriously injured in order to save his father and stayed in the rear for recuperation, the deputy commander of our Eastern Palace at this moment would be this General Ye."

"Two heroes of the East Mansion?" Huang Yuchen felt a little incredible. The deputy commander of the East Mansion naturally knew that his literary and martial arts were not inferior to his elder brother. His father went out to fight, and many military strategies were decided by the deputy commander.

Deputy Commander Ning Yining knew the demon and had unparalleled wisdom and tricks. This title of Knowing Demon is also because of his strong wisdom and tricks, and he seems to be able to understand the minds of ghosts and gods. This person is proficient in formations and his own formation enlightenment is still taught by Deputy Commander Ning Zhimo.

A person as famous as Ning Zhimo... Huang Yuchen frowned slightly. These two people were already so difficult to deal with, and there were two more...
