Early the next morning, the eldest prince arranged for people to spread the news of King Shendu's death.
According to rumors, King Laoshendu couldn't accept the news that his 300,000-strong army was completely wiped out, so he became so angry that he became angry!
Before his death, he announced that the eldest prince would inherit the throne and become the new king of the poisonous royal family.
The eldest prince Dint decided to inherit the throne after the old king was buried, and issued an order to the third and fourth princes who were leading the army that they must come back to attend the old king's funeral. Otherwise, it would be unfilial, and he would perform his duties as an elder brother!
Teach these two guys a lesson for not respecting their father.
After the news came out, there were reactions from all parties. At first, people thought that the second prince Tia, who was also in the palace, would be the first to stand up against it and fight fiercely with the eldest prince.
After all, the two of them were enemies in the past, and they had been fighting openly and secretly for the throne for many years. This was something that everyone knew very well.
But what everyone didn't expect was that on the third day only, news came from the royal capital that all the military power of the second prince had been taken by the eldest prince.
The 100,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 elephant soldiers in the hands of the second prince all surrendered to the eldest prince unconditionally!
Just when everyone thought that the eldest prince had dealt with the second prince and seized military power, news suddenly came from the royal capital that the second prince was appointed governor of Hesheli by the eldest prince and immediately went to take office.
News soon came that the second prince was indeed on his way to Hesheli and was not under any control or surveillance!
This can't help but surprise everyone who knows the news. They don't understand why things have become like this. The second prince didn't compete with the eldest prince for the throne, so he just accepted it?
Now, after obtaining the troops from the second prince, plus the exclusive army of the eldest prince and the king, the eldest prince already controls nearly 600,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry and nearly 20,000 elephant soldiers.
This is already more than half of the country's troops in Shendu.
The other princes seemed to have no chance of making a comeback.
However, one person doesn’t think so!
That is the third prince Pinas!
Pinas didn't believe the eldest prince's lies. He stubbornly believed that the old king must have been harmed by the eldest prince, rather than dying out of anger.
He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He led troops on the battlefield when he was only sixteen years old. He is a rare warrior among the royal family!
Originally, he should have been the one to lead the army to attack Jun, but a local king in the north happened to be in rebellion. He led 200,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to put down the rebellion, so he was not in the palace.
Then the errand of leading the troops was handed over to the eldest prince and the second prince.
But what Pinas didn't expect was that he had just dealt with the rebel kings here, and the 300,000 royal capital troops who had conquered the barbarians in Nanli County had returned with a fortune.
Then I heard the bad news. The old king couldn't bear the blow and passed away!
He also passed the throne to the eldest prince!
The point is here!
Passed on to the eldest prince!
Ever since he entered the army, he has been an invincible myth in the poisonous army!
He always believed that the next Shendu King must be him!
But now it suddenly disappeared!
His father died and the throne was gone. How could he accept it?
And he knew exactly what his brother Wang's purpose was for asking him to go back to attend the funeral, so naturally he couldn't just catch him!
Therefore, regardless of whether the old king was really angry to death because of the war, it was impossible for him to die like this!
It was impossible for him to believe that he must have been killed by the eldest prince, and that the eldest prince must have launched a despicable palace coup!
It must be like this!
So he came back with his 200,000 troops who had just defeated the Tubang King!
He wants to use force to regain his throne!
Although he is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, in his opinion these are not problems.
The eldest prince truly owns less than 200,000 people and a few thousand elephant soldiers, which is about the same as himself.
The rest are either the troops directly under the king's command in the royal capital and the troops subordinated to the second prince. These princes are not able to command easily, and they have many years of combat experience.
It is still possible to attack the eldest prince's army of more than 600,000 people with unified people and more than 600,000 people.
So he directly rejected the eldest prince's request and said fiercely:
"I will return to the royal capital! But as a judge, you, the unclean person who killed your father, are destined to be judged by me!
Wait for my return! "
His meaning was already obvious, he wanted to fight back.
The eldest prince had already expected this scene, so he was not surprised after receiving the news. He just looked at the news with a calm face, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As the biggest obstacle to his ascending to the throne, how could he not be prepared at all for his third brother, who was a good fighter.
Just as the third prince Pinas led an army of 200,000 to counterattack the royal capital, they ran out of food!
The eldest prince cut off all their food logistics and sent troops to transport large quantities of food from all the cities where they could get supplies back to the royal capital early.
On their way back to the royal capital, although they still had a certain amount of food, it was not enough for the 200,000-strong army.
In this way, the third prince, who could not find food, could only return to the royal capital with an army of 200,000 hungry people, and launched a decisive battle with the eldest prince's army, which had long been fed and drunk, in the wilderness not far from the royal capital.
Even though the second prince's military command ability was good, his 200,000 troops were hungry for a while.
Once on the battlefield, the physical exertion is even greater, and in the blink of an eye, they all turn into soft-legged shrimps.
They were no match for the well-fed and well-fed prince's troops, and they were quickly defeated.
The third prince was captured!
However, he was injured in the battle and died in the royal capital shortly after being captured due to ineffective treatment.
The eldest prince expressed his deep condolences and grief for him!
These are his siblings!
Taking down the third prince meant that the entire Shendu Northern Territory was stabilized and was firmly in the hands of the eldest prince.
Now the last obstacle to his ascension to the throne is Anaro, the fourth prince in the southern part of Shendu, who is the governor of Shazsuba!
As long as he is captured, there will be no obstacles for the eldest prince to become the new king.
It's a pity that Anaro is not as impulsive as the third prince.
Although he also had nearly 200,000 troops in his hands, he had no intention of attacking the prince. Instead, he cut off the connection between Shaz Suba and other Subas in Shendu.
This means that I want to be independent!
But he is different from the third prince. Although the 200,000 troops led by the third prince are stronger than his, the third prince does not have a stable logistics supply point. If the eldest prince cuts off his logistics, he will become a weak shrimp.
But the fourth prince has an entire Shazsuba as his logistics, and there is no shortage of food. If the eldest prince wants to capture him, he can only take the initiative to attack and fight head-on!
But one is offensive and the other is defensive, and the difficulty between the two is completely different. Even if the eldest prince now has three times the force of the opponent, he is not sure of taking down the fourth prince.
But it won't work if I don't fight, otherwise I, the King of Body Poison, will not be able to convince the public.
So even though he knew it was hard to fight, the eldest prince could only gather his troops and attack Shazsuba.
The fourth prince Anaro, who had sufficient logistics, was not afraid at all, and directly guarded Shaz and fought with the eldest prince.
Suddenly the two sides were fighting!
The entire Shendu is paying attention to this battle that will determine the future direction of Shendu.
In Nanli County, Wang Cezhi, who had just returned to the Yamen from outside, suddenly received an urgent order from Yunzhou County.
After sitting down and opening it, he immediately ordered his men to summon all the officials in Shanliang County.
