Chapter 3091, an alternative kind of fratricide
After forming an alliance with the sixth prince Tulei, what was the biggest benefit that the third prince Tu Cheng received? That is, the third prince Tu Gong no longer has to hide his ability in wisdom.
Otherwise, some of the methods that the third prince wanted to get could not find people with sufficient status to implement, which was also meaningless.
Fortunately, no matter why the sixth prince Tu Lei took the initiative to form an alliance with the third prince Tu Cheng, the third prince Tu Cheng thought that he was absolutely confident that he would control the rebellion of the six prince Tu Lei who didn't know when it would break out, which also made the third prince Tu Lei not have to think too hard about how to use the problem of the sixth prince Tu Lei.
Then the third prince Tu Qi was not surprised that Zhu Shangde chose to let the alliance of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo move closer to Qingminyuan, which he and the sixth prince Tu Lei had chosen.
After all, compared with the seventh prince Tu Ye, who tried to retreat to Nanqu City to lure the enemy, and the more unreliable second prince Tu Yan who went to Xihe County for temporary refuge, it was naturally Qingmin Yuan who was the most suitable for the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State.
Because no matter what, although Qingminyuan can indeed be said to be a plain, but it is a very small plain, and even under the siege of mountains that are difficult to climb on both sides, the rear of Qingminyuan is the main channel of the Xi River, if it were not for the outstanding combat power of the Qinzhou army, the third prince Tu Feng may not dare to take only more than 40,000 Qinzhou troops to meet the Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin coalition forces that are still more than 100,000 in Qingminyuan.
After all, the troops of the third prince Tu Yan and the sixth prince Tu Lei were really at a disadvantage in Qingminyuan, not to mention that there was nowhere to escape except for forcibly crossing the Xi River, and replacing the second prince Tu Yan and the seventh prince Tu Ye could not be saved if they wanted to.
However, in the face of this predicament, the third prince Tu Gong was not worried at all.
Because the combat power of the Qinzhou army is not only enough to deal with this situation. Even if Zhu Shangde was really entangled here, the third prince Tu Feng was confident that he would completely annihilate the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State together with the Qin Emperor Tu Lang who arrived later, and even the Chang Kaishan troops who would come together.
Not to mention that there is only calculation and no wisdom, and in the situation that force is also insufficient, the sixth prince Tu Ti is not only not worried about the approaching coalition forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, but even cares about the Xihe River not far away with great interest: "Third brother, what do you say, how should we cross the Xihe River?" ”
"Crossing the Xi River? Why should we cross the Xi River! ”
“…… Could it be that the third brother means mountain climbing? But this straight up and down ......"
Although it was still impossible to cross the Xi River lightly after the flood receded, in the case of just a metaphor, the sixth prince Tulei still did not expect that the third prince Tu Lei would actually target the cliffs on both sides.
Because why did the cliffs on both sides become the Jedi of Qingmin Plain?
That is, under the washing of the overflow of the Xi River in previous years. Even if the cliffs on both sides are halfway up the mountain, it is not necessarily impossible to climb. But when it really reaches the position above the mountainside, it is really straight up and down, at least it is definitely not a mountain that a large army can climb lightly, and it is not possible to change it to the Qinzhou army.
So it's not that I don't believe in the third prince. The sixth prince Tulei just didn't know what the third prince Tu Gong thought.
And his eyes swept slightly over the mountains on both sides. The third prince Tu Gong said casually: "Heh! Since the sixth brother Rudu said that it was just in case. So after our army occupies the high places of the mountains on both sides, with a condescending posture, will the sixth brother still give Zhu Shangde and Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo a chance to join forces? ”
“…… Occupy the heights of the mountains on either side? Could it be that the third brother intends to let the armies of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State enter Qingmin Yuan? ”
With the words of the third prince Tu Gong. There was a touch of surprise on the face of the sixth prince Tulei.
Because although the Qinzhou army under the command of the third prince Tu Qi and the sixth prince Tu Lei was enough to control the allied forces of Zhou Huai and Yulin at the entrance of Qingmin Yuan, even if they launched a condescending attack under the cover of mountains, this was still a little too dangerous in the eyes of the sixth prince Tu Lei.
After all, it is one thing to be condescending, and when there is really no way out, not only will the Qinzhou army burst out with greater might, but I am afraid that the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin will not hesitate to drag the troops of the third prince Tu Gong and the sixth prince Tu Lei into the water.
And can guess what the sixth prince Tu Ti is worried about, but the third prince Tu Qi is not in a hurry and says: "Sixth brother don't worry, after all, this is just a situation in case." Because just because Zhu Shangde was able to lead the army to escape the encirclement and suppression of us for a whole month, we have no reason to look down on Zhu Shangde. Therefore, unless there is no choice, a certain person will not choose this method of self-isolation and danger to deal with the enemy. ”
"Third brother is wise!"
nodded, although the sixth prince Tu Lei didn't care about accumulating more strength behind the third prince Tu Yuan, but no matter how high the third prince Tu Yuan's wisdom was, the sixth prince Tu Lei had no intention of going crazy with the third prince Tu Yuan.
After all, unlike those who are strong in martial arts, if they go crazy, they will hurt themselves at most, and once the clever guy starts to go crazy, he will definitely hurt others and himself.
Therefore, in the secret situation where he only intends to use the wisdom of the third prince to protect himself and obtain a longer period of development, the sixth prince may be able to pretend to bow to the third prince to the third prince, but he will never allow any of the wisdom of the third prince to harm his own interests.
Then when the third prince Tu Qi and the sixth prince Tu Lei arranged the offensive and defensive posture in Qingminyuan, Zhu Shangde, the prince of Yulin State, also led the coalition forces of the two countries to quickly move closer to the direction of Qingminyuan together with Zhou Bingqian, the prince of Zhou Huaiguo.
After all, after guessing that Emperor Qin Tulang would soon attack Luoyun Gorge to force the Three Kingdoms Alliance to fight a decisive battle, if he could not eliminate or even eliminate some more Qinzhou troops, the Three Kingdoms Alliance could only fall into a more passive situation in the final decisive battle that could not be escaped.
It's just that the closer he gets to Qingminyuan, Zhou Bingqian, the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, faintly begins to have a lot of uneasiness in his heart.
Because not to mention that Zhou Bingqian has never achieved a real victory in front of the Qinzhou army, even if Zhu Shangde did lead the coalition forces of Yulin State and Zhou Huaiguo to escape the encirclement and suppression of the second prince Tuyan and others in the past month or so, this does not mean that Zhu Shangde will definitely be able to defeat the troops of the third prince Tu Cheng and the sixth prince Tu Lei who intend to hold on to the enemy in Qingmin Yuan in a head-on decisive battle.
So he said that he had changed his mind, and looked at Zhu Shangde, who was still moving forward, Zhou Bingqian said: "Master Zhu, do you say that our speed will be faster, or in the face of our army's action directly towards Qingminyuan, why did the troops of the second prince and the seventh prince of Qin State not react at all." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, this is just another kind of fratricide."
Fratricide?
It may be difficult for others to understand Zhu Shangde's words at once, but he is also the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, and Zhou Bingqian immediately understood that Zhu Shangde was saying that the second prince Tu Yan and the seventh prince Tu Ye did not come to support the third prince Tu Yan and the sixth prince Tu Lei is probably because they want to compete for the throne.
In peacetime, it may only hurt them, but in wartime, it may indeed affect the outcome of the war.
So thinking of the subtleties in it, Zhou Bingqian gradually forgot the initial uneasiness.
After all, compared to martial arts and wisdom, Zhou Bingqian, as the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, is definitely proficient in all kinds of fratricide. Therefore, when there is a real opportunity, Zhou Bingqian will definitely not give up the opportunity to expand this kind of fratricide. (To be continued......)
