But he said that the third prince and Linlang were worried that they had to go through the border as usual. Oh no, these places are under the control of the third prince. They had to push across from a place not far from the capital. If they wanted to fight, it would hurt the people. , now it’s okay, the fourth prince directly ordered the border guards to escort them back, and they can go to the capital with their elite soldiers in an open and honest manner. This is not good. The war will only occur in the capital by then, which can minimize the losses of the people all over the world. Completely It’s God’s help to the third prince.
At the moment, Linlang did not plan to go back with the third prince. Instead, she was entrusted by the third prince to stay on the territory that was not far from the capital but belonged to them. She kept an eye on the movements in the capital. If the third prince's war was not going well, she would send troops. Aid him.
But considering the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp, it probably won’t be that troublesome.
Although I don’t think it’s that troublesome, I still need to be prepared.
Facts have proved that the third prince was right.
The third prince, with the idea of not underestimating the enemy, headed straight for the capital with a large number of troops (almost fifty thousand).
After leaving the territory closest to the capital, I met someone close to the emperor and saw such a large army approaching. When I asked where this army came from and why it came, the border generals all said that it was the emperor's order. Yes, let him protect King Li and Lord Sunhou’s family when they return to the capital.
The nearby generals knew that the emperor had this order, but an escort of 50,000 troops? Is this correct?
"That's right. You people in the mainland don't know how dangerous our border is. His Majesty sent cavalry here several times. When they encountered thieves on the road, they were all wiped out. They didn't bring anyone with them. It's so dangerous. We still have people with us. This is If there aren't many people, we won't dare to go on the road." The general said.
These conclusive words left no doubt among the nearby generals. They did not stop him immediately and followed the third prince and others.
In fact, this general is still a little suspicious of the 50,000 troops escorting King Li and others, but... there are so many people, and each of them seems to be difficult to deal with. He doesn't care what they do, and if there is a conflict, what should he do if he suffers losses? ? As long as the emperor did so, that's all.
Because the generals along the way, like this general, let them go as soon as they heard it was the emperor's order, no one stopped them, so the third prince and his 50,000-strong army arrived in the capital smoothly, and even supplies were taken from along the way. Yes, after all, it was the emperor’s order to carry it out. Who dares not to provide supplies?
Of course, it was mainly these 50,000 people who seemed so powerful that the various places did not dare to cause trouble, so they had to give them food and grass.
In fact, everyone brought dry food with them before leaving the last state city belonging to the third prince. However, this dry food cannot be eaten unless it is a last resort. After all, we don’t know how many days it will take to capture the capital after we get there. If we can't capture it and there's no place to get food, we'll be in trouble.
Therefore, the dry food that everyone brought with them, which could last for a period of time, was not eaten by everyone. They usually ate the supplies from the various states along the way.
The last state city belonging to the third prince is very close to Beijing Road. It is only a five-day journey. This is actually a very short distance for the cavalry. Once something happens, they cannot be defeated and they can escape back to their own territory. It's not a difficult task, so you really don't have to worry about supplies and the like.
It wasn't until the 50,000-strong army approached the capital that the fourth prince heard about it.
No matter how stupid he was, he realized something was wrong at this time, and immediately asked the border general what was going on.
The border general said, "Isn't this what you asked me to escort people over?" I've sent someone to you.
Then move on.
How could the Fourth Prince let them move forward? After all, an army of fifty thousand was too scary, so he immediately ordered them to stop.
They were almost at the city gate. How could the army stop? After listening to the emperor's order, not only did they not stop, they also accelerated their speed and surrounded the capital.
Seeing these people surrounding the capital, the fourth prince was frightened. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately sent someone to question them, what were they doing, did they want to rebel?
At this time, the third prince finally stopped hiding. After listening to the fourth prince's inquiry, he said frankly: The fourth prince listened to the treacherous words and caused countless innocent and loyal ministers to be wronged. They took away their positions and their lives. , he wants to clear your side!
The fourth prince saw that it was the third prince who had spoken, and instantly understood that it was the third prince who wanted to rebel!
But so what if I understand, the capital has been completely surrounded and no one can send any letters.
There was no hope for the Beijing Camp either - the third prince brought Old Mrs. Zhang, who was previously the commander of the Beijing Camp. He was dismissed just a few years ago, but still had prestige in the Beijing Camp. As soon as he appeared, the Beijing Camp The people in the battalion immediately stopped attacking the Third Prince's army. Of course, they didn't dare to attack because of the terrifying momentum of the border army.
The third prince surrendered to the capital camp, who else could the fourth prince count on?
Do you expect the state troops who suspected something was wrong with the border troops on the road to cut off the third prince's retreat? Linlang had already brought people to patrol this road, so that those people did not dare to go out of the city to attack.
Of course, the fourth prince couldn't even deliver the letter because the capital was so tightly surrounded that even if he wanted to call for King Qin, no one would come.
In fact, even if the letter can be sent, it is estimated that no one will come to Qin Wang. After all, the internal fighting between brothers is not the same as the change of dynasty. Anyway, no matter which one wins, they will still be the officials of this dynasty and do not need to surrender to the new dynasty. North Korea, so no matter what you do with those bad things, after all, if you are in the wrong team, you will be in trouble later.
The fourth prince saw that the distress letter could not be sent out. Even if it was sent out, nothing happened. After a period of time passed, the fourth prince began to be afraid.
Because he was afraid that if the siege continued like this, the capital would eventually run out of food and he would eventually die.
More importantly, the hearts of the people in the capital were floating. Who told the third prince that as long as he did not work for the cruel and foolish king or attack him, he would not do anything to them after he conquered the capital.
Since they will not be in any danger as long as they don't help the fourth prince, everyone naturally wants the third prince to come in quickly and settle the matter. After all, if this stalemate continues, their losses will be great - the clouds of war are hanging over them. , the business of various shops began to be bad.
How could they want to lose like this every day?
——Obviously, in the eyes of ordinary people, the battle for the throne is not as important as their inability to make money. After all, the battle for the throne is a matter between the third and fourth princes. What does it have to do with ordinary people? Of course, making money is more important.
As for the high-ranking families who feel that the fight for the throne between the two is very important to them...except for those neutrals who don't care about the fight between the princes, the others, either the fourth prince or the third prince, have long been divided. It’s a good camp, so there’s no need to think too much about it now, everyone is their own master and that’s it.
