Three days later.
In front of Tianmenguan.
The steward of Prince Qi's Palace, the steward of Prince Yan's Palace, and the general steward of Prince Chu's Palace followed their princes and turned their horses' heads, looking at Tianmen Pass with emotion on their faces and relief in their eyes!
A trip to the deserted state cost all the money of the palace. When thinking of this, the three chief managers felt that life was no longer possible!
Huangzhou is a veritable gold-selling den!
As soon as I went in and saw the good products in Huangzhou, I couldn't control my desire to buy them!
Simply terrible!
The three chief managers have made up their minds to stop their prince from coming to Huangzhou from today on!
Otherwise, next time, the fiefdom may not be guaranteed!
In front of them.
I saw the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince looking west, their minds filled with thoughts of their trip to the deserted state in the past few days!
Before entering Huangzhou, the Huangzhou in their minds was a desolate and chaotic land!
It’s scorched earth with corpses all over the ground!
It's poverty!
Now, when recalling what they heard and saw along the way, the three princes were filled with endless shock!
The deserted state has really settled millions of refugees!
Refugees who were regarded by the world as useless and only a nuisance became talents in the deserted state. They gained respect, had new houses, clothes to wear, food to eat, and children to go to school. When they grew up, they were Literate people have a promising future!
In this era, all those who are literate are talented people!
Thinking of this, the third prince sighed with emotion: "If these hundreds of thousands of children can grow up smoothly... what will the deserted state look like?"
“I’m looking forward to it!”
The second prince felt the same way: "Third son, did you donate the weapons in the palace's private treasury just because you saw the future of Huangzhou?"
"yes!"
"Aren't you?"
The third prince asked back: "You gave your personal arsenal and fully supported Lao Jiu in this battle. Wasn't it a bet that he would win and eventually ascend to the throne?"
"Didn't you also choose him among the fourth, sixth and ninth children?"
The fifth prince blinked: "Two brothers, I didn't think that much... I just saw that you all donated your private arsenal. If I don't donate it, Lao Jiu will inevitably think that I have selfish intentions. , would think that I had an idea, so I also donated my arsenal!"
"Yeah?"
The second and third princes looked unbelieving: "Tell the truth!"
"good!"
The fifth prince then said seriously: "I think Lao Jiu has a broad mind and is kind to others. If he comes to power... maybe we can live a good life until we die!"
"If the fourth brother and the sixth brother are allowed to take the throne, we may die young!"
"So, I stand with Lao Jiu!"
"yes!"
The third prince said firmly: "Now it seems that we can have a happy death only if Lao Jiu takes over!"
"Let's go!"
"We each returned to our fiefdoms and wrote letters to our father to report what we had seen when we entered the deserted state!"
"yes!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Da da da......"
The convoys of the three princes separated in front of Tianmen Pass and returned to their respective fiefdoms!
On the road.
The bored third prince began to write letters to Emperor Xia, which was actually writing a memorial!
I saw the third prince writing with a pen, and the main idea was as follows: I now have a memorial:
"What I saw and heard after entering the wilderness is as follows... Tianmenguan New City is beautifully built, but it is actually used by the prince to decorate the appearance and display his political achievements!"
"After I entered Tianmen Pass, I saw the desolation of the deserted state. The corpses of refugees were seen from time to time on both sides of the official road. Most of the surviving refugees gathered in the mountains to make a living by digging grass roots and peeling bark. From time to time, groups of people robbed official granaries. , so that the soldiers of the Huangzhou Palace are exhausted and unable to maintain public order in the Huangzhou!"
"My son went deep into the Huangzhou military camp and found that there were many old and weak soldiers in the army. After inquiring, he learned that... all the elites of the Huangzhou army died in the last Huangzhou war, and the strong ones were left. Not much, the Huangzhou Army’s combat power is now worrisome, and it is by no means an enemy of the Heavenly Wolf Army. If we start a war, we will definitely lose!”
"At the same time, I learned that Huangzhou selected refugees to form a new army, so I went to see the training situation and found that the new army was in a mess and had no combat effectiveness. I was very disappointed and asked my father to make plans early!"
In short, the meaning is: Chaos occurs frequently in Huangzhou, and the next battle in Huangzhou will be defeated. Please make preparations early!
After finishing writing, the third prince handed the memorial out and said: "Send it to the imperial capital in a hurry over eight hundred miles!"
"yes!"
"At the same time, leak the contents of the memorial to let all parties know about the chaos in Huangzhou, especially let Xizuo of the Sirius Empire know!"
"yes!"
The palace manager's eyes brightened: "His Royal Highness, you still want to show weakness to the enemy?"
"yes!"
The third prince nodded: "Huangzhou is very strict with all parties, so outsiders have never known the real situation inside Huangzhou. They have always relied on guessing!"
"The prince asked us to release false news because he hopes that all forces will look down on Huangzhou and make the Sirius army proud and careless!"
The manager frowned: "Your Majesty, in the last battle in Huangzhou, Princess Tianlang suffered a huge loss. Will she still be fooled?"
"Won't!"
The corner of the third prince's mouth curled up with a hint of mystery: "The prince said that neither Princess Tianlang nor Emperor Tianlang will underestimate Huangzhou's combat power!"
"But their Sirius army will!"
"The Sirius army is a proud and powerful force. They are extremely proud. If they win too many battles, they will have the illusion of being invincible!"
"So, even if Emperor Sirius and Princess Sirius don't underestimate the enemy, the proud Sergeant Sirius will definitely feel underestimating the enemy when he hears the news. That's the effect the prince wants!"
"Understood!"
The manager of Prince Qi's Mansion began to carry out the orders of the third prince!
Immediately afterwards.
An "eight hundred-mile rush" all the way to the imperial capital!
The people responsible for spreading rumors along the way were dressed in plain clothes and entered various inns along the official road to spread the contents of the memorial to the third prince!
Suddenly, the Third Prince's return journey became lively!
Rumors are flying everywhere!
at this time.
the other two sides.
The second prince and the fifth prince also wrote such a memorial and sent it to the imperial capital while people were walking around spreading the rumor. The whole journey was extremely lively!
Huangzhou has become the focus again with the return of the prince Xia Tian!
at the same time.
Blackman Empire Palace.
In the Heiman Palace, Emperor Heiman is sitting on the dragon throne. Below are the officials of the Heiman Empire, who are discussing at court!
At this time.
I saw the left prime minister of the Blackman Empire coming out, his dark face full of worry: "Your Majesty, we have transferred all the elites from the South China Sea to Blackman Pass. I am a little worried..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm worried about the lack of troops in the south. If a strong enemy attacks from the sea, we will be in trouble!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Heiman smiled nonchalantly: "The Sirius Empire is all cavalry, has no sea fleet, no navy, and poses no threat to us!"
"The Daxia Empire does have a navy, but after the Daxia Empire's Immortal Seeking Fleet went to sea, it has not developed strength at sea in the past twenty years, and there is no sea fleet. It is difficult to threaten our southern coastal defense line. Don't worry, Aiqing!"
"yes!"
Left Prime Minister Heiman is still a little worried: "Recently, there is news that a pirate ship was discovered over there. I am afraid that the pirates will take the opportunity to harass..."
"Don't worry!"
Emperor Heiman interrupted Prime Minister Zuo's worries: "It's just a pirate, how can it still cause trouble?"
