I really became a king.

Chapter 432

When passing by the Western Demon Realm Pass, accompanied by Jiang Ning, Prince Guo Jiang Huan climbed up the city wall.

The person stationed here at this time was Ning Wuze, the leader of the Shadow Department. When he saw Jiang Huan, he stepped forward to greet him.

"Ha! It's true that a good father will have a good son!"

Prince Guo Jiang Huan praised Ning Wu Ze and felt a little disappointed. Compared with other families where a tiger father has a dog son, his family was truly a tiger father and a dog son.

None of his three sons could stand on their own, and the grandsons he had placed high hopes on were all mediocre. After a hundred years, it wouldn't take long for the Guojunwang Mansion to decline.

However, he quickly drove this melancholy out of his mind and walked to the city wall, overlooking the entire Western Frontier Corridor.

At this time, cavalrymen were whistling across the entire Western Xinjiang Corridor, and all kinds of strategic materials were lined up in a long line, all heading due north. If I guessed correctly, they were definitely heading to Hanshan City thousands of kilometers away.

"It seems that Ning'er is right. He is really preparing to launch a general attack on Hanshan City..."

Jiang Huan said this in his heart and looked towards the opposite side of the West Demon Realm Pass, where a natural pass rose from the ground. Although it was over a hundred kilometers away, he could still feel the military force rushing towards the sky.

Then he turned his gaze to the south. Hundreds of kilometers away, there also stood a majestic pass, which was the Niangzi Pass of the Baiyue Dynasty. At this time, it must have been filled with battle flags and a large army.

"Have Blackwater Pass and Niangzi Pass been taken?"

Hearing Jiang Huan's question, Ning Wuze stepped forward and replied: "Yes, now Black Water Pass and Niangzi Pass have been taken, and the only thing left is Hanshan Pass!"

Ning Wuze was excited, but also a little regretful, because he was not the first to encounter this unprecedented war. The same mood and mentality as him were the generals of the Shadow Department who stayed behind to guard the West Demon Territory Pass.

However, they were all fleeting, and soon calm was restored, because the prince said that in the future the three passes in the western border will implement a rotation defense system, and the eight divisions and three battalions under the Prince Yi's Mansion, plus the newly formed Five Elements Flag, will all have the opportunity to fight outside the pass.

"Let's go, your prince is here and he can take us to Black Water Pass."

At the foot of the Western Demon Realm Pass, a cavalry force of over ten thousand people was rumbling towards them from the direction of Niangzi Pass in the south. In addition to a large flag with the word "Yi" written on it, there was also a black battle flag fluttering in the wind, which was particularly eye-catching.

Looking at the black battle flag from afar, a glimmer of yearning flashed in Prince Guo Jiang Huan's eyes. After all, this flag of the King of Dali carries too much glory of the Dali royal family.

Mo Ruhai, who had remained silent since he climbed onto the city wall, was also full of sighs in his heart. The flag of King Dali had been sealed for so many years and finally appeared in the light of day again, but he was afraid that it would set off a bloody storm.

When Prince Guo Jiang Huan and his entourage walked out of the Western Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Yi also arrived with tens of thousands of his own troops.

After several days of non-stop running around, Jiang Yi's face did not show any sign of fatigue. Instead, he looked full of energy, and an inexplicable aura emanated from his whole body.

"Jiang Yi meets the great uncle."

When he saw Prince Guo, Jiang Yi jumped off his horse and wanted to step forward to greet him, but Prince Guo, who had taken the lead, stopped him.

He knew very well that even though he had a high seniority in the royal family, he could not accept such a grand ceremony, especially under the watchful eyes of such a large army.

"The Imperial Uncle looks much healthier than before." Jiang Yi did not insist on paying homage, but said with a smile.

Looking at Jiang Yi in his splendid battle robe, Jiang Huan felt inexplicably touched and said with a smile, "After pretending to be confused for decades, I'm afraid you won't have a rest in the future."

Then he changed his tone and continued, "As for you, you have grown into a towering tree in the blink of an eye. You must manage the Western Frontier well in the future."

Jiang Yi heard the hidden meaning of these words, which was to tell him not to have any other thoughts and stay in the Western Frontier honestly. "Don't worry, uncle, I yearn for the grasslands outside the Great Wall more than the interior of the Great Wall."

After saying that, he turned to Mo Ruhai beside him and said with a smile: "How are you, Manager Mo?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, I am safe and sound." Mo Ruhai bowed.

"Uncle, I'm about to go to Heishui Pass. If you're interested, we can go together." Jiang Yi took the initiative to invite.

"That's exactly what I meant!" Jiang Huan responded with a smile.

Next, the group walked towards Heishui Pass. Jiang Yi and Jiang Huan walked slowly side by side, as if they had guessed that the two royal princes had something to say. The rest of the people kept a distance from them, with only Mo Ruhai being an exception, who followed the two half a body length behind.

"They are the Korhan cavalry, right?"

Prince Guo Jiang Huan asked as he looked at a pair of cavalrymen patrolling and on guard in the distance. This team of cavalrymen had about a thousand people, and they were obviously different from the other royal troops in terms of armor, weapons, and even skin color.

Especially the blood-back scimitar on the waist, which is a unique weapon of the Khorhan people.

"Uncle Royal, you have a good eye. They are the Korhan cavalry." Jiang Yi replied.

"Are they also affiliated with the imperial army camp?" Mo Ruhai asked.

"Yes, Khorhan's eight banners will select 500 people from each banner to enter the personal army camp."

Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Prince Guo frowned and said, "Then there are 4,000 Korhan cavalrymen in your personal army camp?" He was a little worried and whispered:

"It's better to be cautious about this matter. After all, the Korhan cavalry has just joined us, so we still need to be on guard."

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, my great uncle. These Khorhan cavalrymen have been carefully selected and have nothing to do with the new nobles of the Khorhan Eight Banners or those old leaders."

To be precise, these Khorkhan people selected for the personal army camp were recruited by Jiang Yi from the prairie outside the Great Wall. They lived under the double oppression of the prairie nobles and the Khorkhan leaders. Deep down, they had no identification with the Khorkhan upper class and even had some hostility towards them.

Jiang Yi just needed such a group of people, so he classified them into the Eight Banners of Khorhan and allowed them to enter the personal army camp as bannermen.

In his plan, these Khorkhan's personal troops will go through layers of screening, and the best among them will be selected for intensive training, and then demoted to the Khorkhan Eight Banners, and gradually they will take control of the entire Khorkhan.

As if he had guessed Jiang Yi's intention, Guojun Wang Jiang Huan did not say anything more, but sighed sincerely: "As expected, they are the legendary Korhan cavalrymen, born to live on horseback."

After sighing, he stopped talking.

Jiang Yi knew that they were about to get to the point. This great uncle of the emperor had come from a long distance not just for sightseeing or chatting, but to carry out the mission of the current emperor.

As if they sensed the sudden solemnity of the atmosphere, Jiang Ning, Tian Buyi, Chu Kuan and others who were following far behind them subconsciously slowed down their pace and widened the distance again.

The tens of thousands of royal cavalrymen around also began to speed up, galloping back and forth dozens of meters away. The rumbling sound of horse hooves shook the earth and mountains. Apart from the sound of horse hooves, no other sound could be heard in the entire world.

"What are your plans for the future?"

After hesitating for a while, Prince Guo Jiang Huan spoke.
