Chapter 74: The Key to Controlling the Army

Half a day later, Zhijiang City was already on high alert, with soldiers standing on the front of the city and waiting for battle.

Jiang Ji also heard a lot of news in the restaurant, such as who is the county magistrate of Zhijiang City now, who is the general who is the commander outside the city, and a very important news, that is, the eldest prince, that is, the King of Chu, is coming here to supervise the battle.

Based on the many news I heard before, Jiang Ji knew that the eldest prince was false in supervising the battle, and the show was probably true. Otherwise, this kind of news would not have been circulated so quickly. Before this person arrived, the news was flying all over the sky. What if someone got the news and assassinated halfway through it.

Looking at the people around who were happily discussing the news and their increasingly respectful attitude, it was clear that the eldest prince's strategy worked very well.

"But this is more beneficial to me. He came to the front line in person and waited for me to assassinate him, without my intentional guidance, others could naturally push this matter to the Witch God Cult. It was really a way out."

Jiang Ji was thinking about another thing in his heart, how to control that elite army in his own hands.

It is definitely not possible to come forward directly. The rest is to find a spokesperson. If you control the spokesperson, it is equivalent to controlling the army.

But in this way, the only candidates are selected among the generals of this army.

"I went to see it a while ago. This army is indeed an elite force and has begun to gather military power. I believe the eldest prince has also spent a lot of effort, and the generals of this army are not ordinary people."

If the Qin army wants to reach this level, it must go through long-term training. Of course, if wars are frequent, this process will be greatly accelerated.

"The one who can control this army must be the confidant of the eldest prince. I am afraid that he will not surrender to me before the eldest prince dies, but he has to plan carefully."

"The eldest prince came to Zhijiang and would definitely convene the main figures to discuss military affairs. Then I will have the opportunity to contact these generals."

Not only is it easy to be discovered when sneaking into the military camp now, but it is not conducive to Jiang Ji's actions in the military camp. Controlling generals will inevitably cause some trouble.

Moreover, Jiang Ji did not intend to intercept the eldest prince on the road in advance. Not to mention that he would release the news now, he would be wary. Even if he was successfully killed, it would not be easy to blame the Witch God Cult at that time, and it would easily cause the people of Chu to be disheartened. If the Chu State is occupied by the Witch God Cult riot army, it would be a waste of time.

After Jiang Ji settled the accounts, he walked towards the county temple.

If the eldest prince came to Zhijiang, he would definitely settle in the county temple, so Jiang Ji planned to sneak in in advance to facilitate his subsequent actions.

After arriving near the county temple, Jiang Ji found a corner with no one and sneaked in silently.

The county magistrate of Zhijiang City is average, and he relies on his kinship with the eldest prince, so he became the chief of the county. Therefore, Jiang Ji did not try to control him, so as not to alarm the enemy.

He sneaked into the county temple and directly found the county magistrate, using his mental power to influence his thinking, allowing him to treat himself as a relative and arrange a relaxed job in the county temple.

Jiang Ji lurked in the county temple, but waited around but did not wait for the eldest prince to arrive.

It was not until the third day that the elite army of Chu defeated the rebels of the Witch God Sect that the eldest prince arrived late.

Standing in front of the county temple and looking at the convoy coming to the county temple from afar, Jiang Jixin said, "This eldest prince is cautious enough. He actually waited until the rebels of the Witch God Sect were defeated before coming. He was afraid that if he lost to the rebels, he would not be in danger."

However, the rebels of the Witch God Sect obviously did not disappoint the eldest prince's expectations. They were defeated without persisting for a few days. The defeat was only a matter of time.

And when it was time to harvest the reputation, the eldest prince came to perform, which showed his careful thoughts and scheming.

It’s just that there are many people who can see this, but no one will risk offending the eldest prince to speak out.

What cannot be seen is praising the eldest prince instead.

Not long after, the convoy stopped in front of the county temple and the county magistrate personally greeted him. It was the first time Jiang Ji saw the eldest prince with his own eyes.

His face is like a jade crown, with short beards on his mouth, and he has a bit of elegance. His appearance alone is extraordinary and he is worthy of being a royal family.

After a few people exchanged greetings, they entered the county temple.

Not long after, Chen Zhe, the general who was commanding the troops outside the city, rushed over to attend the eldest prince's reception banquet together.

Jiang Ji was in the corner, and a dragon shadow appeared in his eyes and found a trace of abnormality.

Chen Zhe's luck was not closely related to the military camp outside the city, and he did not have any fierce aura, like a scholar than a general.

"Why is the military aura of this man so shallow? It shouldn't be."

As the commander of the first army, as long as he is recognized by his soldiers and integrates into the army, he can still exert his strong combat power even if he is originally average in force.

The closeness between the two needs no need to be explained in detail.

Then Chen Zhe was completely different.

"Unless the actual controller of this army is someone else, Chen Zhe has not been recognized by most soldiers."

Thinking of what he heard about Chen Zhe a few days ago, Jiang Ji vaguely realized that Chen Zhe might have taken the position of General of the Central Army because of his relationship with the eldest prince and his mother. His abilities may be average.

"If this is the case, God will really help me!"

Jiang Ji was a little excited. If it was really as he guessed, it would be much more likely to contact Chen Zhe and control others and control him.

"No, I'll go to the military camp now. If I can confirm my guess, then tonight will be your burial."

Jiang Ji's eyes flashed past the eldest prince, Chen Zhe and others, and a cold light flashed away.

He sneaked out of the county temple and then headed straight to the camp outside the city.

"Since it's not the main general, it's definitely not in the central army's tent, but around here."

Jiang Ji quietly captured a patrol soldier, and then used his mental power to influence his consciousness and asked where the soul of the army was.

"Is this Huo Xing here?"

Jiang Ji quietly sensed the situation in the tent not far away and found that there was indeed a person with extremely strong blood.

Jiang Ji took a deep breath, restrained all his breath, and slowly approached Huo Xing's tent.

If it is discovered, with its ability and army, it will definitely have the power to fight with Jiang Ji. It is also said that whether it can win or not is a fight, casualties will definitely be inevitable.

For Jiang Ji, who has regarded this army as his treasure, this is completely unnecessary casualties.

"I don't know what Huo Xing was thinking."

If it were me, Jiang Ji thought he would definitely turn against me, but this is a country that emphasizes loyalty and righteousness, and Huo Xing may not have thought this way.

Jiang Ji lifted the curtain and walked into the tent. At the same time, he also used the method of controlling the airflow to temporarily isolate the sound in the tent.

Huo Xing then realized: "Who are you?"
