Chapter 621: Combined Forces

The civil strife between the Sixth and Eighth Princes was not a trivial matter, and it had soon reached the ears of other countries.

Zheng Guo and Sheng Guo have had a grudge for a long time, and when they saw that they were in addition to civil strife, they immediately wanted to intervene. If you can take this opportunity to annex Shengguo, it will naturally be better, if you can't, you can also bite them and rub Shengguo's sharp energy.

Zheng Guo thought about this matter very well, but he didn't expect that the six princes had already planted a gap in them.

At that time, he knew that this matter was not trivial, and he didn't care about the risk of exposure, so he hurriedly transmitted the news back to Shengguo. But after all, it is confidential information, and I am afraid of being intercepted halfway.

He found a confidant and sent him back to China quickly, but it was too late when it was in the hands of the six princes.

The news that Zheng Guo was going to sneak attack and the news that the border was broken arrived almost at the same time, and the angry six princes almost had to flip the table in front of the ministers again.

But it's just a big deal, he also restrained his temper a little, and just looked at everyone with a cold face.

"What do you think?"

But where did those Wenchen know this? At this time, there were two wars, and only the capital was moved.

The sixth prince was angry and his heart hurt, and the war at the border was tight, so he had the heart to block Zheng Guo's attack. But most of the troops were pinned down in the mainland by the Eighth Emperor and did not dare to act.

"Your Highness, did you say that the Eighth Prince said that he would agree with the Zheng Guoren, just to lure you to send troops to the border. He drove straight into the Yellow Dragon for a long time? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

This is a great rebellion, and if it is seriously investigated, it is a crime to kill the head.

But now I have to admit that the six princes also think so.

So he knew that the foreign enemy was invading but didn't dare to do it, because he was afraid that the eighth brother, who he had always feared, would take this opportunity to take his life.

Thinking of this, his face was ugly.

"I won't talk about it beforehand."

After he got off the court, he went to the study non-stop, and his face was very ugly. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had a premonition of a crisis.

If Zheng Guo really joined forces with the Eighth Prince, what should he do?

Now I can only hope that the eighth brother, who is a little rigid and serious at all times and everywhere, will not do such things regardless of the national interests.

On the other hand, the Eighth Prince planned to withdraw his troops as soon as he learned of Zheng Guo's attack.

"Your Highness, you can think twice! If this is a trap deliberately made by the six princes, we go to the frontier to guard like this, and there is a great possibility that we will be outflanked! ”

But when the Eighth Prince heard his words, he frowned, and his eyes were firm: "Do you want me to ignore the safety of the people of the country and only care about my own interests and status at this time?" ”

As soon as these words came out, a group of dissenting generals underground suddenly did not dare to speak.

In fact, they are also beating drums in their hearts about this matter, and there is a risk in withdrawing troops, and if they don't withdraw their troops, they will also bear the infamy of the ages.

In the end, one of the generals who had been with the Eighth Prince for the longest time spoke.

"I know that Your Highness cares about your family and country, but you should also know that only if you live well can you benefit the people. At this time, it is too risky to abandon the troops of the six princes who entered the palace and go to garrison the border, if it is a little worse......"

Halfway through his words, the Eighth Prince smiled: "You are obviously reluctant to give up our current achievements. ”

Someone wanted to refute, but they were immediately frightened by the fierce eyes of the Eighth Prince, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

"I know your thoughts, and I know your worries. But I want to tell you that you are wrong about one thing. ”

A contemptuous smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "My imperial brother, he doesn't dare." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the map, "The frontier is far away from the capital, and he is a timid man. Therefore, after learning that I led the army to defend against the enemy, I definitely did not dare to come and make trouble. Rather, he will hold those troops in his arms to protect himself. ”

He really knew the six princes too well, and after this analysis, those generals no longer dared to raise objections.

It's just that although he behaves lightly and looks like he has a chance to win, he is also a little drumming in his heart.

Zheng Guo's army was no better than the group of wastes under the hands of the Six Princes, although they were not brave and good at fighting, but they were all above the horizontal line.

If it really starts, with his men and horses, he will not be sure of a complete victory.

It's just that even so, he can't show his timidity, as a leader, he must always set an example for those soldiers.

This is also the biggest difference between him and the six princes.

"Emperor Qiqi, the army of the eighth prince is at the border and has stopped Zheng Guo's army."

Above the court, the officials were relieved when they heard this.

They looked at the six princes on the stage, and sure enough, they saw that each other also breathed a long sigh of relief.

But now, although the most critical thing has passed, the troublesome things that follow are not only this.

"But Your Majesty, now that the Eighth Prince has stepped forward and gained a lot of good reputation among the people. If you don't make a move, I'm afraid you'll be left behind. ”

Hearing this, the six princes felt a headache again.

He thought to himself: What is there to care about what those people think, isn't it over if they don't take care of it?

It was terrible to be taught another lesson by these pedantic old fellows, and he held these words in his heart, and said impatiently:

"That's what Aiqing said. But what should happen to this matter, do you have any other ideas? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence underneath.

The six princes endured and endured, so they didn't smash the teacup in their hands.

His men are good, and they are more creative than one when they ask difficult questions. But when I asked about the solution, it was as if half my life had died.

Not a single fart can be released.

He was so angry that he wanted to punish all these people.

But at this time, a petty official who looked at his face walked out.

The man seemed to have just been promoted, and he was trembling when he walked, and there was a bit of a trilling voice in his voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister thinks you can think about it and join forces with the Eighth Prince to fight the enemy together. ”

Seeing that the sixth prince did not scold him immediately, the official became emboldened.

"Now that the country is in peril, we should treat Zheng Guo as an enemy together. If you continue to fight like this, you will be seen as a joke by Zheng Guoren, and if you lose territory, you will be blamed by the ancestors! ”

His words are well founded.

The sixth prince also thought he was good.

But if he went to make peace with the Eighth Prince, he would definitely not be able to pull down his face.

He stared at the hundreds of officials underground with an unkind face, waiting for a few more people to come and beg him, and he would have a step down.

But he didn't expect that his face at the moment was a little too inferior, and none of the people underground dared to speak.

The six princes waited and waited, and did not wait for the opportunity to agree to this matter, plus there was a fire in his heart, and he waved his hand and said:

"What bullshit suggestion to unite me with that rebel thief? I don't think you want to live anymore! Drag it out and play a twenty board first! ”

The official was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, and for a while he couldn't even say the words of begging for mercy.

He only muttered: "Your Highness think twice!" The minister is for the country, for your Royal Highness, your eternal reputation! ”

He shouted and was dragged out, and in a short time the shout turned into a scream.

When the officials inside saw his fate, they didn't dare to say anything more at the moment. And the matter was not resolved, and the six princes were still unhappy in their hearts.

"So you people, eating Yulu, can't even think of an idea?"

The officials below wailed: It's not that I can't think of it! The idea just now is very good, but Your Highness, you are too difficult to serve!

But listening to the cool voice of the six princes, they didn't dare to say a word of these inner words.

The Eighth Prince didn't know the twists and turns of the Sixth Prince's side.

In fact, from the beginning of the fight, he never thought that the six princes would unite with him. Even if it is united, then he is definitely the one who suffers.

Fortunately, the soldiers on his side are iron-clad, and he is never ambiguous about where to fight. Even in the face of Zheng Guo's army, he did not intimidate.

It's just that the more this happens, the greater the pressure on the Eighth Prince.

He didn't want to let these generals die in vain, and he didn't want to fight this uncertain battle.

Under the moon, he paced inside the tent.

His brows furrowed tightly, thinking about how to choose at such a juncture.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

The eighth prince was overjoyed, hurriedly took a pen and paper, and wrote a letter.

When Hui Shangyi received this letter, he was still looking for Duguyin's lair with Xiao Li. Hearing that it was an urgent letter sent by the Eighth Prince, he opened it without much thought.

"How? Did you ask you to bring troops to support? ”

Previously, when he learned about the current attack of Zheng Guo, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi made a bet, afraid that the eighth prince would ask him for help.

"Sure enough, we guessed it."

Xiao Li laughed when he heard this: "Then what are you going to do?" To help or not to help? This is not a good errand, if you help, then Yuan Xian's identity may really no longer be used. ”

Hui Shangyi also had concerns about this, but he obviously thought further.

"In any case, country before home. Zheng Guo is coming, and I can't let the Eighth Prince face it alone. I will now write a letter back to Beijing and dispatch people. ”

Xiao Li was a little helpless when he saw his stupid appearance, but he didn't stop him in the end.

They are not the Six Princes, so they can't just care about their own safety in this stormy time.

Hui Shangyi's letter had soon reached the capital, where he had left his cronies earlier, and now he took the letter and hurried to the camp in the army.

Yuan Xian is the deputy commander, and although he is not a heavy soldier in his hand, he has superb martial arts, and he is a hundred. Such a team left the capital overnight and galloped towards the border.

If he can arrive in time to make peace with the Eighth Prince, it will be an important trump card in his hand to deal with Zheng Guo.

I hope that Yuan Xian will not drop the chain at a critical moment, and must dare to join the Eighth Emperor before the enemy attacks again.
