The moon and stars are sparse.
Rakshasa army camp.
The four kings sat around the stove, eating and discussing the matter of going north.
As for bringing troops back to support the capital, no one is very interested.
If there was no threat from the north, it would be easy to go back to Beijing and fight.
However, now the northern border is likely to take the opportunity to cause chaos, and of course the main purpose is to block the northern border's iron cavalry.
Fighting a civil war, as the most powerful warrior kings of Dashang, really couldn't arouse their interest.
Moreover, no one thought that the eldest prince and the 70,000 new soldiers could break through the Great Shang Capital City.
Unless the commoner king goes to help.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, the Commoner King does not seem to be interested.
Otherwise, we would not take the initiative to allocate troops to them.
"King Commoner, I can't understand you now."
In front of the fire stove, King Guanshan finished the bowl of porridge in one bite and said casually, "I thought you would lead troops to help His Highness."
After all, everyone in the world believed that the Common King had completely surrendered to the eldest prince. If the eldest prince fell and the new emperor ascended the throne in the future, the Common King would definitely not end well.
Once the emperor or courtiers stand in the wrong team, they will have to bear the consequences. It is not easy to be a minister of the dragon.
On the side, King Donglin also looked at the Commoner King in front, with a curious look on his face.
In fact, he didn't understand what the commoner king was thinking.
Once the eldest prince loses power, the commoner king's future official career will not be very optimistic.
So far, King Wu who is on the wrong team has not had a good ending.
For example, King Xuanwu!
"Foreign enemies are ahead, so of course we must first deal with them unanimously."
Li Ziye noticed the gazes between the two men, smiled, and responded, "Besides, I can't defeat three senior Martial Kings by myself, so I still don't feel comfortable with this."
"Some coincidence."
Opposite the fire stove, the King of Triumph served himself a bowl of vegetable porridge and said, "If I hadn't known that King Buyi had surrendered to the eldest prince, I would have thought that the person you were supporting was His Highness the Fourth Prince."
When the King of Guanshan and King Donglin heard the words of the King of Triumph, they were all stunned and could not react for a moment.
"What's the meaning?"
King Donglin came back to his senses and asked doubtfully.
"In the capital, no one is leading the army except King Zhongwu now."
The King of Triumph reminded, "Think about it, is it too much of a coincidence?"
"When you say that, it does make sense."
King Guanshan frowned and said, "However, our coming here is something that has been discussed long ago. Moreover, Donglin and I both took the initiative to come, and we have nothing to do with King Buyi."
"Coincidentally."
The King of Triumph responded calmly, "When we left the city, His Royal Highnesses returned to the capital, and His Royal Highnesses led the troops on their way back, it was revealed that they were digging out people's hearts. They all came together. It really makes people wonder if there is an expert behind this." Laying out.”
"Expert?"
King Donglin had a strange look on his face when he heard this, and said, "If there is an expert, there is no doubt that he is with His Highness the Fourth Highness, and has nothing to do with the Commoner King."
Having said this, King Donglin paused, as if he had thought of something. He looked at King Buyi beside him and said in disbelief, "King Buyi, you are not from His Highness the Fourth Prince, are you?"
Only in this way can all this seem to be explained.
In front of the stove, Li Ziye caught the gazes of the three people and responded casually while eating, "Three seniors, you are thinking too much. If I were the Fourth Highness, I would be anxious to go back and quell the chaos. Not only can I Show your loyalty, and you can also get some military merit along the way."
"What you said seems to make sense."
King Donglin picked up a spoon and filled a large bowl of vegetable porridge for himself, and said, "Forget it, it's useless to think about these messy things. Let's continue to study how to deal with it in the eight tribes of Mobei. The distance between Baidi City and the capital city is close or far. If the cavalry of the Eight Tribes of Mobei take the opportunity to cause chaos, they will still be in a lot of trouble."
"I suggest leading the troops towards the capital first."
Li Ziye suggested, "If the Eight Mobei tribes send troops, we will immediately go north to encircle and intercept them. If the Mobei Eight tribes do not send troops, we can also concentrate our forces to relieve the danger of the capital."
"good idea."
King Guanshan nodded and said, "That's right, is there really no one going back to the capital?"
"I can't go back now."
Li Ziye shook his head and responded, "My position is rather awkward. Even if I go back, I won't be able to help, and it will make the courtiers even more nervous."
"Donglin, why don't you go back? You are good at defense. With you here, the capital will be safe." King Guanshan looked at his old enemy and suggested.
"not going back."
King Donglin refused without hesitation, "I have no interest in my own people beating my own people. I am still more interested in the cavalry of the Eight Tribes of Mobei."
"Then the capital city can't ignore it." King Guanshan said with a speechless expression.
"Isn't King Zhongwu here?"
King Donglin responded nonchalantly, "His uncle will definitely wipe his ass for the trap set up by the fourth prince, so I will not go back to join in the fun."
"Right."
King Guan Shan nodded without further persuasion.
"If you don't want to go back, let's discuss when to send troops."
The King of Triumph ate the vegetable porridge from the bowl and said, "Unless there are special circumstances, we have no right to mobilize troops without authorization."
"Hold on."
Li Ziye said casually, "What if His Highness brings troops back to the city just to accept His Majesty's reward?"
"..."
When King Guanshan and King Donglin heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Even a fool would not believe that he was about to arrive at the great merchant capital and go back to accept the reward.
Besides, when people return to the city to receive rewards, they usually only bring a few generals with them, and how can they bring tens of thousands of troops back with them?
However, what King Triumph and King Commoner said was right.
They can't send troops yet. The crime of deploying troops without any reason is not a small crime, and they can't afford it.
We can only wait any longer.
"Don't talk about things that haven't happened yet."
The King of Triumph glanced at the three of them and said, "This vegetable porridge is good. Eat more, or you won't be able to eat it in two days."
"That's right, let's eat first, there's no point in thinking about it so much."
King Guanshan responded and continued eating while holding his own big bowl.
The eldest prince raises his troops?
What a big deal.
If it were another leader, such as the Commoner King, he would be a little more nervous, but the eldest prince's club really made him uninterested.
"By the way, will you two continue to compete tomorrow?"
King Dong Lin looked at the little vegetable porridge left in the big pot, quickly added a spoonful for himself, and asked.
"Let's talk about it later."
Li Ziye responded, "Over in the capital, there will probably be news soon. There is no time to compare."
"How about another way."
The King of Triumph suggested, "Nine times out of ten, the eight tribes in Mobei will send troops. Let's compete to see who can stop the cavalry sent by them first."
While the four Martial Kings were chatting.
In the sky, the bright moon moves westward.
At dawn, outside the Great Shang Capital City, 70,000 troops pressed in. It was as dark as a cloud, and it was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
The eldest prince, who has been on an expedition for many days, finally returns with his troops!
