As the saying goes, since ancient times, the royal family has been affectionate.

In fact, when every emperor sits on the throne, there is never less people who covet the throne around him, especially the princes who are closest to the throne, and there are few who do not want to ascend to the throne.

At this moment, the great heat is in danger, and several princes are far away on the border, guarding the frontier, of course, they have no time to care. But in the imperial city, the prince of Ting, who has a very high authority, is righteous and awe-inspiring, and keeps thinking about Da Yan, but his true thoughts are unknown.

Coincidentally, the same royal brotherhood, in Tianchu not long ago, was also righteous and righteous.

The prince of Tianchu and the eldest prince each led the Suzaku and Xuanwu armies to the Tiger Pass, but they did not make an inch, but they lost tens of thousands of soldiers. On the way back to defense, with more than 300,000 troops, he searched for the enemy troops who infiltrated Tianchu by Dayan, but found nothing, and also surrounded the mountain on a large scale, leaving only the empty camp left by Dayan, which once became the laughing stock of the world.

And all this, the final conclusion is that the eldest prince's son Xiang Tianba was greedy for merit, mistakenly judged the military situation, and left the search and arrest defense line without permission, and was grounded for three months by the angry King of Chu and fined for half a year. And the crown prince, as the actual supreme commander, was only asked for a crime of negligence, and was reprimanded by the king of Chu, and it was gone.

Originally, the elders and young were orderly, and the general practice of the prince was to establish the elders and not the young.

However, the king of Chu was wise and saw that the second prince Xiang Tianyu was brave and strategic, and had both civil and military skills, so he excluded public opinion and appointed the second son as the prince.

Although Xiang Tianba is more courageous and less strategic, he thinks that he does not know poetry and books better than his second brother, but it does not mean that he does not have the slightest complaint about his second brother becoming the prince.

Even if he doesn't care about himself, don't the people around him care? You must know that once the son of heaven and a courtier, as the eldest prince, if he cannot inherit the throne, then the new emperor will ascend the throne in the future, and the people who will be reused must be the people around the prince.

Therefore, this is not the gain or loss of one person, but the gain or loss of a large number of people. And in this Eastern Crusade, he Xiang Tianba can be said to be charging into battle, taking the lead, without merit and hard work, he actually ended up like this, but the prince was only scolded and finished, the taste of this is naturally indescribable.

Therefore, for his second brother, Xiang Tianba is even more unpleasant.

After careful consideration, Emperor Yan selected seven more reliable officials to envoy to the Seven Kingdoms to mediate between them, not seeking success, but only delaying time. He believed that as long as he bought time, the War King would definitely not let him down.

And Tianchu, there is no need to send people, after all, the two countries have already started a war, and it is impossible to reconcile.

When the envoys from all walks of life rushed to various countries, the surrounding area of Dayan was already overwhelmed by a large army.

The relatively close Beirong, East Pole, and South Wilderness have all been deployed on the border of Dayan, and may step into the territory of Dayan at any time. At this time, the three Flame Armies had arrived at the front line day and night.

Although the number is small, the prestige of the Flame Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the army, and it can be said that with the arrival of these Flame Army, the legions defending the borders everywhere also have spiritual pillars.

The Southern Wilderness, located in Xiangzhou, is rich in colossas, and the most famous of the Southern Wilderness Army is the giant elephant soldiers.

They trained the giant elephant to become a war elephant, wearing rattan armor, the giant elephant has thick skin and is resistant to injuries, plus the secret rattan armor, its defense is many times stronger than that of Mu Ru's heavy cavalry. On the back of the elephant, there is a rattan armor fortress, which can multiply several people, with countless bows, arrows and spears, and the combat power is extremely strong. In addition, the giant elephant has infinite strength, rushing into the enemy formation, and only need to brute force to rush through the enemy formation, which is extremely powerful.

At this moment, Qin Tian led the Flame Army, facing the 300,000 Colossus soldiers of the Southern Wilderness across the river.

Looking at the colossus from afar, it is simply a moving hill, and against other troops, it is simply a completely crushing momentum, and the Colossus soldiers of the Southern Wilderness can be said to be unique.

And the army of the Southern Wilderness, Tun and Jiangbian, does not seem to have any intention of crossing the river for the time being, obviously waiting for Da Yan's reply, if it can be won without a fight, naturally everyone will be happy to accept it.

In addition, there is another point, they are waiting for the arrival of the allies, the Ten Thousand Beasts and the Holy Sea, relatively far away, are still on the way to come, and the armies of these two countries, if they want to reach the border of Great Yan, need to pass through the territory of the Southern Wilderness.

Although it is an allied force at the moment, no one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong along the way, so everyone is extremely cautious and wary of each other.

As the saying goes: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Now it seems that the Eight-Nation Coalition is extremely powerful and even bluffing, but in fact it is not monolithic, and if something happens, it is also very likely.

At this moment, the Western Xia army that had left the territory of Tianchu and entered Tianchu was receiving a batch of grain and grass supplies provided by Tianchu.

Transnational warfare, grain and grass supply is extremely time-consuming and laborious, and this expedition was facilitated by Tianchu's efforts, of course, in addition to the many benefits promised to Western Xia, the grain and grass supply on the way is also indispensable.

Supplies along the way were generally prepared by the main city according to the order of the king of Chu, and then sent to the camp of the Western Xia army. No, what the Western Xia army is receiving now is the grain and grass transported from Wuliu City.

Originally, there was nothing unusual, but after the war horse ate the newly supplied forage, after marching for half a day, there were a large number of symptoms of illness, and it seemed that there was a problem with the newly sent forage, which injured the war horse.

The Western Xia army was mostly cavalry, and the Western Xia soldiers cherished their war horses very much, seeing that a large number of war horses fell ill and even died, the Western Xia soldiers were excited, and they were clamoring to go to Wuliu City to ask for explanations.

However, the commander was not a reckless person after all, so he still suppressed it and ordered the army to camp in place. and sent a lieutenant to lead a hundred cavalry to Wuliu City to ask for an explanation.

The captain took the order and left, he was already angry, and naturally his words would not be friendly, and at the city gate, there was a quarrel with the city gate guards. How many people who gallop on the battlefield can only move their mouths but not their hands? Speaking of indignation, the Western Xia cavalry drew their swords.

But before the battle knife could be pointed at the Tianchu defenders, two cold arrows suddenly shot at the "whoosh, whoosh" two cold arrows rushed in, grazing the cheeks of the Xixia captain and knocking over the two soldiers behind him.

The Tianchu guard did not order the release of the arrows, nor did he find out where the two sharp arrows came from. But how could the Western Xia soldiers believe it? I heard the roar of the Western Xia cavalry, and the swords danced wildly.

Seeing this scene, the Tianchu defenders had no choice but to draw their swords to meet each other, and they were inexplicably fighting together for a while. Once there is a war, how can there be any reason not to hurt people? The Western Xia cavalry was extremely brave, and with the advantage of the cavalry, they quickly killed dozens of Tianchu soldiers on duty at the city gate.

How can anyone be indifferent to watching their siblings being killed for no reason? The soldiers stationed on the tower also rushed down the tower one after another to join the battle group. After all, the Tianchu defenders were outnumbered, and although they paid a heavy price, after a fierce battle, they still slaughtered the Western Xia cavalry. In the end, Cao Bao, the captain of Western Xia, saw that he was invincible, so he could only escape with injuries and return to the camp to report the news.
