Chapter 457: Control
King Huainan: "There is also Tianze Kingdom, he will lend 100,000 troops to this king." ”
"One hundred thousand? So much? Prince Rui couldn't believe it, "No... This Tianze Kingdom and King Duan... They don't know us very well, will they be so kind to help us? Will there be fraud? ”
"No, they're not helping us, they're helping themselves." King Huainan said: "Think about it, the emperor picks our hard stick bones, and wants to set an example, if this king is defeated, their soft persimmons will be defeated, and they will even surrender without a fight." ”
"Now, this king is in the same boat as them, one is prosperous, one is lost, of course they have to face the Northern Emperor with this king, only in this way can there be a chance of victory!"
Prince Rui: "But even if we add the 100,000 troops of Tianze Kingdom, we only have 450,000 troops, and we are still 150,000 troops short of the imperial brother!" ”
King Huainan: "This is what this king just mentioned, we have a geographical advantage, Huainan is our place, we have tens of thousands of troops, and there are cities that can be defended." ”
"In the case of geographical advantage, it is not uncommon for 20,000 soldiers to win against 100,000 soldiers, but there is a difference of 150,000 troops, which has a great chance of winning."
"Didn't Emperor Beilin attack menacingly? This time, let's fight a good defensive battle with him and consume him to the end! ”
Speaking of this, he laughed aloud, then suppressed his smile, and said confidently: "Besides, we still have the hole card of Nanyuan Kingdom." ”
Prince Rui originally felt that what King Huainan said was quite reliable, and his confidence instantly doubled.
It wasn't until King Huainan mentioned the Nanyuan Kingdom that his confidence instantly dropped, and his face panicked.
He said defensively: "Tenth Uncle, you have to be more leisurely in dealing with Nanyuan Kingdom, Nanyuan Country is notoriously ambitious, and they don't even let go of friendly countries." ”
"Although you are the son-in-law of Emperor Nanyuan, and I am his sister-in-law, I have to say something that I don't like, Nanyuan is not easy to control, beware of lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot."
"Anyway, with my understanding of Nanyuan Kingdom, if Nanyuan Kingdom loses, although the imperial brother will not let us go, at most it will be a permanent captivity, but if Nanyuan Kingdom wins, maybe he will come to deal with us after dealing with the imperial brother, and it will be the kind of extermination."
"So, we can't tell him too much of our secrets, and we have to be careful when working with him."
Over the years, he and Uncle Ten have been in contact with Emperor Nanyuan.
He didn't know what Uncle Ten thought, anyway, when he married the princess, it was because the princess had saved her life, and he really liked the princess.
Of course, marriage is also partly due to this.
But he also knew the ambition of Emperor Nanyuan, so when he dealt with Emperor Nanyuan, he was well measured.
King Huainan: "This king knows this matter in his heart, I have no cooperation with the Emperor of the Southern Plains, but it is a combination of the inside and the outside, when we are at war with the Emperor of the North, we will inform him, he will lead the troops through Huainan, and our people will open the city gate to help him attack the boundary of the north border." ”
"At that time, with the harder hard stick of the Southern Plains, if you want to come to the Northern Emperor, you will definitely have to fight with the Southern Plains first, and then we will take advantage of their confrontation to attack the capital, take the country, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
When Prince Rui heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded in affirmation of King Huainan's words.
It's just that he soon became a little worried.
Prince Rui: "Uncle Ten, this is good, but in this way, as soon as the northern country comes out of the plague disaster, it will soon fall into the war disaster again, and the people will have no livelihood." ”
King Huainan took his hand and looked up at Prince Rui, "Virtuous nephew, you have to know 'Xing, the people are bitter!'" Death, the people suffer' is an eternal truth. ”
"When a country perishes, disasters are everywhere, wars are continuous, and the people will inevitably suffer, even if the country is safe and the country is prosperous, it is indispensable to work the people and lose money."
"Now that we are born in troubled times, we will inevitably fight to the death, as princes in troubled times, what we have to do is to fight a bloody way and try to make the people less bitter."
As he spoke, he gently patted Prince Rui on the shoulder.
"......" Prince Rui nodded, but did not speak.
In fact, he wanted to say that if they hadn't invaded the northern border first and robbed the common people of their herbs, things would not have come this far.
He also wanted to say that they were all their own people, and whoever was the emperor was not the emperor, so just stop fighting.
But he just thought about it, it was impossible to grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of his own people.
In addition, he was expelled from the palace by the imperial brother, and now the imperial brother is leading the army to recruit in person, obviously ignoring brotherhood.
It's Uncle Ten, who has taken care of him a lot over the years and helped him a lot.
This time, he will have to unite with Uncle Ten no matter what!
Prince Rui: "Now that it has reached this point, it seems that the only way to do what Uncle Ten said, when the imperial brother and soldiers come to the city, let's join hands and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
The days that followed, as King Huainan said.
The 250,000 troops sent by Tian Zeguo, Duan Wang and others arrived in Huainan one after another.
After Ying Zhan arrived at the Huainan border with an army of 600,000, he launched a war against the king of Huainan five days later!
For a time, the 600,000 army and the 450,000 army were fighting each other, and the sound of fire guns resounded throughout Huainan.
The smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the clouds cover the sun.
The entire Huainan army is in chaos, mourning is everywhere, and blood is flowing like a river.
Even the common people are not immune to this disaster.
This land, which originally belonged to the northern bordering country, was shattered by mountains and rivers.
Surrounded by corpses and discarded baggage.
The ground was covered with charred, mutilated, blood-soaked corpses.
The blood all over the ground stained the land of Huainan red.
This situation lasted for nearly half a month.
Regardless of whether it was the Emperor of the North or the King of Huainan, no one was willing to surrender.
And this royal strife is bound to end with defeat on one side.
On 16 October, the two sides retreated a few miles each, temporarily ceased fighting and rested, reorganized their armies, and replanned their battle strategies.
At this moment, in the military camp tent of the king of Huainan, several generals and military advisors stood in front of the sand table to discuss the military.
A soldier walked up to everyone and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Two princes, my lords, something is wrong, the king of Qi and the king of Shu of the Southern Plains country broke into the Huainan region with 800,000 soldiers......"
As the first power, the strength of Nanyuan should not be underestimated.
In addition, the southern country pays attention to combat, and its combat capability and military strength are undoubtedly the strongest on this continent!
"It doesn't matter." King Huainan interrupted the soldiers' report and said, "They are just passing by, no need to make a fuss." ”
However, the soldier said: "At first, they were indeed just passing by, but after capturing the two cities bordering the land to the north and slaughtering the people of the two cities, they returned to the Huainan border. ”
"Now, he has begun to cause chaos on the Huainan border and slaughter our people in Huainan."
