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. , okay now, Yonko The prince directly ordered the border guards to escort them back, so that they could go to the capital with their elite troops in an open and honest manner. This was not good. Then the war would only occur in the capital, which would minimize the losses of the people in the world. It was completely God's blessing to the third prince.
At the moment, Linlang does not intend to go back with the third prince. Instead, he is entrusted by the third prince to stay on the territory that is not far from the capital but belongs to them. He will always pay attention to the movements in the capital. Once the third prince goes to war, If things go wrong, she will send troops to assist him.
But given 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 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 general They all said that it was the emperor's order to protect King Li and Lord Sunhou's family when they returned to Beijing.
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, but they are still in such danger. We We still have people with us, but if we don’t have many people, we won’t dare to go on the road,” the general said.
With these conclusive words, the nearby generals had no doubts. They did not stop him at the moment 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 that 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 The supplies were all taken from along the way. After all, it was the emperor's order to carry them out. Who dares not to provide supplies?
Of course, it was mainly these 50,000 people who seemed so powerful that they 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 that belonged to the third prince. However, this dry food could not be eaten by anyone unless it was a last resort. After all, they did not know how to get it when they went to the capital. It would take several days to get to the capital, and if we couldn't capture it for a while and there was no place to get food, we would be in trouble.
So 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 was not until an army of 50,000 people 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, wasn’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 ask, what are they doing, do 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 words of treacherous people, causing countless innocent loyal ministers to be wronged and deprived of their positions. , life-threatening, he wants to clear the emperor!
Seeing that it was the third prince who spoke, the fourth prince instantly understood that it was the third prince who wanted to rebel!
But so what if I understand, the capital has been completely besieged and no one can send any letters.
There is 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 he still has prestige in the Beijing Camp. As soon as he appeared, the people in the Beijing camp 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 at Beijing Camp, who else can 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 send the letter, because the capital was tightly surrounded. He wanted to call for King Qin, but no one came.
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.
What's more important is that the people in the capital are floating. Who told the third prince that as long as he does not work for the cruel and foolish king or attack him, he will not do anything to them after they conquer the capital.
Since they will not be in any danger as long as they do not help the fourth prince, everyone naturally wants the third prince to come in quickly and settle the matter. After all, if the stalemate continues like this, they will suffer huge losses. Now - the clouds of war are looming, and the business of every shop has begun to suffer.
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 like them? , naturally making money is more important.
As for the high-ranking families who feel that the battle between the two princes is very important to them...except for those neutrals who don't care about the battle between the princes, the others are either from the fourth prince or the third prince. The people have already been divided into camps, so there is no need to think too much now, everyone is their own master.
