The Seven Princes took Jinning City, and their strength has been significantly enhanced, and the entire southern part of the Kingdom of Xin has been under the Seven Princes.

The next goal of the Seven Princes was to recruit soldiers and prepare to start a battle with the Third Prince, the Great Prince, and the Second Prince, who was retreating to the northwest, instead of the main goal.

The Seventh Prince sighed, "It's a pity that Chu Jing of Renjin City also surrendered to me on the surface, but in fact, he didn't listen to the announcement, which made me feel quite a headache." ”

Zeng Fangzhou knew that Chu Jing had lost the face of the Seventh Prince twice before, which made him very unhappy and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Zeng Fangzhou sighed and said: "Your Highness, Chu Jing is on your side after all, it is obviously different from Jinning City, and Renjin City is not much worse than Jinning City, the eldest prince has not been able to take it, I am afraid it will be difficult for us, the most important thing now is to ascend to the throne as soon as possible." ”

"What Lord Shangshu said is extremely true. The Seventh Prince said a little depressed, "But Renjin City and Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, which are also controlled by Chu Jing, are blocked between us and the Great Prince, and if you want to enter Xinyang City, you must pass through these cities." ”

Zeng Fangzhou thought for a moment and said: "Chu Jing is just greedy for the power in his hands, he can't become the emperor of Xinguo, so his existence is no threat to His Royal Highness, here, he is the Duke of Pingxi who was sealed by the previous emperor, but he has never had a fief, so it is better for us to give him the power to use the city he occupies as his own fief." ”

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this too cheap for him, you also know Chu Jing's ability, with the few soldiers and horses in Renjin City, he can take Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City without much effort, if he is letting him get a few cities, then isn't he the second Zhenguo General?"

The Seventh Prince was very worried about Chu Jingwei's big problem, in fact, this problem had already manifested itself now.

Zeng Fangzhou said: "Your Highness, don't forget, now your enemies are the other three princes, even if Chu Jing has too many fiefs in the future, it will be snatched from the other three princes, for His Highness, there is no harm in all benefits, and when His Highness becomes the Ninth Five, will a small Chu Jing still be a problem?"

The Seven Princes thought about it, in fact, it seems to be true, even if the city captured by Chu Jing will not be handed over to him, but it will also damage the power of other princes, and if Chu Jing can kill the three princes alone, then the throne of Xinguo can only be inherited by himself.

The Seventh Prince thought about it and immediately said, "Okay, I'll order that all the cities occupied by Chu Jing will be used as his fiefdoms, and I want to see how much trouble a small Chu Jing can bring to other princes." ”

In fact, Zeng Fangzhou still thought that Chu Jing was Shangguan Xiaobai's person, after all, he was the Red Lotus Envoy holding the Red Lotus Token, although the Red Lantern Zhao organization no longer existed, and the Eternal Empire was replaced, but Zeng Fangzhou still had to fight for Chu Jing to have some more interests.

Chu Jing, who was far away in Renjin City, received a promise from the Seven Princes soon after, and in the future, the cities he captured would be used as his fiefdom of Pingxi Gong.

This made Chu Jing surprised, and was moved and surprised, that is to say, he could attack those cities openly and take them for himself.

It's just that the problem of soldiers is more serious, and there are still not many people under him, and even there are not enough people to defend the city.

There was also news that surprised him, Jinning City was actually broken by the Seven Princes, it was Xiao Yuning's territory, he didn't expect that Jinning City, which had been built by the Xiao family for a long time, would be defeated by the Seven Princes.

It seems that the Xiao family of the royal family of the previous dynasty does not seem to be very strong.

Chu Jing went to see Meng Shu first, there were not enough human soldiers, and Chu Jing could only replace them with demon beast soldiers.

When Chu Jing saw Meng Shu who was training demon beasts in a clearing outside the city, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Meng Huo's demon beast army is no longer the previous ragtag army, but it is a thousand adult blood wolves, a thousand barbarian demon cow knights, a thousand bone armored horse knights, and a thousand jumping rabbits.

As for why there are strange varieties mixed in it, this is because Meng Huo is also training scouts, and Jump Jump is small in size and fast, which is a more useful variety, why there is a problem of a thousand, it is because there are too many catches, and it is too wasteful to kill, so they simply form an army of their own.

Seeing Chu Jing's arrival, Meng Huo immediately asked the soldiers to train on their own and greeted Chu Jing.

"Lord, look, are you still satisfied with such a demon beast corps?"

Meng Huo's big old man actually began to slide.

Chu Jing asked strangely, "Why is there a thousand of each kind, and there are only these?"

Meng replied: "Blood wolf, the barbarian demon cow and the bone armored horse are grouped, the number is relatively large, the demon beast does not know how to cooperate, rather than mixing, it is better to directly become a separate team." ”

Meng Huo wanted an army of black-backed white bears or an army of Tanan tigers, but the carnivorous demon beasts were already small in number, and they all lived in relatively dangerous areas.

With Meng Huo alone, he is really not sure that he will capture them on a large scale.

However, these common demon beasts were not particularly strong in attack power, and under the lure and weakening of Qin Yue's potion, they could easily form a team of thousands of demon beasts.

A lot of miscellaneous demon beasts were also caught, but Meng Shu felt that their cooperation on the battlefield was not high, and it was troublesome to train, so he simply only trained four troops.

The blood wolf is a consumable, the barbarian demon cow is a heavy cavalry, the bone armored horse is a light cavalry with ultra-high defense, plus the jumping rabbit who is responsible for reconnaissance tasks and has a little bit of attack power, and it is generally relatively balanced.

"It would be nice if there was a remote. Chu Jing said with emotion.

Meng Xue said: "Those with elemental attacks are all high-level demon beasts, such as the three-line ones like the Sky Splitting Tiger are already considered rare varieties, long-range attacks are impossible, and air support may also be considered." ”

There are many kinds of birds and monsters, but they are either too strong or too weak, and the most important number of the army, the number of birds and monsters

It's special.

Chu Jing said again: "I'm going to make a long-range raid, can these armies of yours be used?"

Meng Shu patted his chest and promised: "Yes, absolutely, the blood wolf only obeys the wolf king, and in the eyes of these blood wolves, I am the wolf king, the wild demon cow and the bone armored horse are controlled by cavalry, there will be absolutely no problems, and the problem must be the cavalry, not the demon beast, as for the jumping rabbit, that thing is here to make up the number, it doesn't matter." ”

Hearing Meng Shu say this, Chu Jing also felt that these demon beast regiments were available, nodded a little, and wrote it down in his heart.

Then Chu Jing gathered the other generals together and started a military meeting. Le Jin and Xu Shengyuan were in Black Sheep City and Yuanwang City, so naturally they couldn't come.

Zhou Tai, Yu Ban, Han Dang, Ji Ling, Chen Wu, Tanya, and Meng Shu summoned a total of nine people, seven of whom were in Renjin City.

Zirui, Shen Xiaoye, Qin Jian, and Qin Yue naturally wanted to join in the fun.

There were a large number of participants, and Chu Jing simply asked people to make a round table, modeled after King Arthur.

At the meeting, Chu Jing showed the promise of the Seven Princes to everyone.

Yu Ban immediately said: "Congratulations to the lord, in this way, we can justifiably bring the city under our command." ”

Others also congratulated.

Chu Jing said: "This is not the most important thing, I need to know the strength of our army now, and we also need to choose a city as our target." ”

A large map is spread out on the round table, and although it is not detailed, some of the castles of Shinkoku are marked.

Shen Xiaoye said: "How about Juyun City? It's here, after taking it, I can go and become the city lord." ”

"No, you can't. Han Dang objected, "The strength of the Great Prince is the closest to us, and now that the Three Princes are contained, he has no time to control us, so he let us take Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, at this time, if we win the Great Prince's Juyun City again, this is forcing him to attack us." ”

The other generals also meant the same thing.

"Forget it, you can be the city lord for me anyway. "Shen Xiaoye also has an unusual attachment to the position of the city lord.

Chu Jing didn't care, anyway, whoever will be the city lord has nothing to do, the law is dead, and it has little to do with the city lord.

Yu Ban pointed to the far northwest and said, "The second prince's power is the weakest, and he is lonely in the northwest, and the other princes don't have time to care about him for the time being, maybe it's a good time for us to start." ”

"It won't be too far away. "Shen Xiaoye didn't want to go to such a distant place.

Yu Ban drew a line with his finger, "Marching from here, except for passing near a city belonging to the Great Prince, there is almost no contact, Renjin City is enough to defend, and it doesn't take too many troops to be able to defend it, Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City have two generals, Le Jin and Xu Sheng, don't worry about it for the time being, and the lord can go with peace of mind." ”

Chu Jing had already meant this, nodded his head, and asked, "How many people can follow me to the northwest?"

Zhou Taidao: "After several large-scale recruitments, counting the surrender of Black Sheep City and Yuanwang City, a total of 50,000 people are available. ”

"How much is left in Renjin City. ”

Yu Ban replied: "30,000 has been reserved, which is enough." ”

Chen Wudao: "I raised 10,000 people. ”

Ji Ling also said: "The last general is only eight thousand. ”

Han Dang said: "The last general is 12,000." ”

In this way, Chu Jing has 80,000 people to follow, plus Meng Shu's 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 demon beasts, which is not a small force.

Chu Jing immediately decided, "Okay, in three days, we will send troops to Green Water City." ”

With Tanya here, the city wall is not a big problem for Chu Jing, and one demon beast can be worth several, or even dozens of soldiers, if the war really starts, Meng Huo's barbaric demon bull cavalry and bone armored horse cavalry will let the people of the second prince see the power of demon beasts.

......

Jinning City is far away from Renjin City, almost on the other side, and the natural difficulty blocked the possibility of going directly south from Xinyang City, but it does not mean that there is no access to other places.

To the north of Jinning City is the place where the forces of the three princes and the eldest prince are intertwined, just because the two princes are accumulating strength and preparing for a decisive battle, there is no city, and a city is attacking each other.

This is good news for the country, after all, they are all citizens of the same country, and killing each other will only reduce the overall national strength of the country.

The 70,000 soldiers of the Xiao family plus 10,000 warriors, already family members and the like, there are 100,000 people, but no city dares to attack them, but they close the city gates one by one and defend them tightly.

After the three princes and the eldest prince continued to raise troops, the number of soldiers defending the city decreased significantly, and only a few were higher than 50,000.

Despite this, the ratio of losses in siege and defense has always been very different, such as the battle of Jinning City, the Xiao family only died 30,000 people, but the Seven Princes died at least 70,000, and those lost in the tunnel, the casualties were too great.

Xiao Qianfan had already gone to Xinyang City alone, but the speed of the large army was not fast, and he could only advance less than a hundred miles a day, and supplies and the like began to be lacking.

Xiao Yuning suggested that Xiao Jingdao: "In my opinion, it is better to take a small town belonging to the three princes first, anyway, they all take refuge in the eldest prince, and they will inevitably be like the three princes." ”

Xiao Jing thought about it for a long time, but still agreed to Xiao Yuning's suggestion, after all, this road is too far, with their speed, it will make the time even longer, and even if it gets to Xinyang City, the eldest prince will take all the soldiers away, leaving Xiao Jing as a light commander?

Xiao Jing sighed and said, "I still wanted to defeat the Seven Princes that day, but now it seems really ridiculous. ”

Xiao Yuning shook his head, "The things on the battlefield are incomprehensible, the Seventh Prince is willing to send two generals, Zhang San and Li Xian, to sneak into Jinning City to die, thinking that the commander must be very unusual, and the Seventh Prince also found a lieutenant to resign, it is really beyond imagination." ”

Xiao Jing said: "If the other party doesn't have more."

The 100,000 soldiers, with our strength, may still be able to fight, but it's a pity that the Xiao family's family is only here, and they can't all be lost in one battle. ”

The two did not continue to communicate, but began to arrange soldiers to prepare for tomorrow's siege.

Xiao Yuning chose a very small city, because the city is small, the guards are only a little more than 20,000, and the city wall is also very low, which is relatively easy.

The soldiers made some ladders overnight, and then did not make any other siege equipment.

After the siege began, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yuning spread their wings, and the other Xiao family masters also took the lead in rushing to the city wall, with two people flying up the city wall in the air, and there was no master in the city who could stop them, and soon, the small city was occupied.

It was only at this time that everyone had a foothold and settled down temporarily.

In other words, Xiao Qianfan's side was originally going to hold high the anti-flag and repeat the majesty of the Liang Kingdom in the past, but now he has to go thousands of miles to the eldest prince, and along the way, he is full of torment in his heart.

When the eldest prince heard Xiao Qianfan's request to see him, he was surprised, but thinking that the Xiao family couldn't even defend Jinning City, and being defeated by the idiot of the Seventh Prince also made him even more speechless.

Qi Lin said: "Although the Xiao family lost Jinning City, as far as Wei Chen knows, the strength of the Xiao family has not suffered a great loss, before the city was broken, the Xiao family started to retreat, except for the death of some soldiers defending the city, the Xiao family is still the original Xiao family." ”

The eldest prince disagreed: "When Jinning City was here, he was the Xiao family, but if Jinning City was lost, they were rats who lost their nests, and what kind of wind and waves could they stir up." However, the army in the other party's hand is exactly what I lack, so let Xiao Qianfan come in to see me. ”

This is not the first time Xiao Qianfan has seen the eldest prince, when Xiao Jing inherited his father's throne three years ago, Xiao Qianfan accompanied Xiao Jing into the palace and met the then Emperor Xinguo, at that time, the eldest prince was also present, and other princes also showed up more or less.

"Xiao Qianfan, see Your Majesty. ”

"Oh?" the eldest prince pretended to be puzzled, "Didn't Xiao Jing disapprove of me as the emperor? ”

Xiao Qianfan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, my father was confused by the villain, so he mistakenly thought that His Majesty was not the orthodox emperor of the country, His Majesty was originally the prince of the country, and after the death of the first emperor, it was natural to inherit the throne, but unfortunately there are too many people in the world who do not know what is going on, and even my father is not spared." ”

The eldest prince sighed together: "Those villains are just disobedient, what is not my father's favorite prince, these words are just an excuse for them to help the emperor's brother rebel." ”

Compared with several other princes, the eldest prince is the most bitter, originally he was the crown prince of the prison country, but it happened that the emperor of Xinguo died in battle, and the good thing of inheriting the throne naturally befell the eldest prince.

However, the old courtiers in the court actually came up with many examples of the former emperor who didn't like him, and said that the throne was originally to wait for the seventh prince to enter the tempering, and it was passed on to him, and the strength of the second prince's relatives rebelled directly without saying a word, and the third prince gathered the remaining soldiers from the battlefield of the world and almost hit Xinyang City, who else is worse than the emperor of the eldest prince?

The eldest prince said: "Xiao Shizi, I already know your intention, since you agree with me as the emperor, I naturally also agree that the Xiao family is the people of Xinguo, and the position of King Shunping remains unchanged, you go back immediately and bring your father to Xinyang City to see me." ”

Xiao Qianfan was overjoyed, and sure enough, things went as his father predicted, and it went smoothly to the extreme.

Xiao Qianfan didn't stay in Xinyang City, and immediately hurried up, preparing to report the news to Xiao Jing.

He didn't know it yet, because Xiao Yuning was too slow to hurry, so he directly occupied a small city of the third prince and stationed there.

When Xiao Qianfan heard the news and came to the small city he occupied, it was already a few days later.

After listening to Xiao Qianfan's return, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yuning glanced at each other, and Xiao Jing asked, "The eldest prince asked me to go, what do you think?"

Xiao Yuning had already thought about this question, and immediately replied: "Of course you have to go, not only to go, but also to bring enough sincerity, leave 20,000 people to garrison this city, and then bring the surrendered troops with you, a full 60,000 soldiers." It is impossible for the eldest prince to directly deprive his father of his military power, and he may even let his father help lead the troops against the third prince. ”

Xiao Qianfan said unexpectedly: "The eldest prince will trust our Xiao family so much?"

Xiao Yuning said: "The eldest prince naturally won't trust us, but he needs a master like his father, and the worship of the palace is not something that the eldest prince can move at will, otherwise in the last battle of Anping City, the great offering will definitely go back to resist Gao Song, the general of Zhenxi, and the battle will not be so miserable." It's a pity that it didn't, which shows that the great offering is not loyal to the eldest prince, but only to protect his safety. ”

Xiao Jing nodded in agreement with Xiao Yuning's point of view, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will go to Gao Song for a while to see if this so-called one of the generals of the Four Towns really has the ability of Chu Feixiong." ”

"But, do we really want to contribute to the eldest prince?" Xiao Qianfan didn't understand too much.

Xiao Jing said earnestly: "You can't be too anxious to be a man and do things, in addition to the three princes, the eldest prince also has two other princes as opponents, before there is a suitable opportunity, we must win the trust of the eldest prince." ”

So, Xiao Jing and Xiao Qianfan left the garrison town with 60,000 people and headed towards Xinyang City.

As for the family, supplies and the like were left in this small city, including the warriors who were close to 10,000 people, these are the foundation of the Xiao family, soldiers can be recruited and trained at any time, but money and masters are the most important.

Xiao Yuning stayed, not because she had to stay to guard the city and protect the Xiao family's things, but because Xiao Jing was worried that the eldest prince would ask for a marriage when he saw Xiao Yuning was beautiful.

Xiao Qianfan's ability, Xiao Jing has long been clear, without Xiao Yuning's assistance, Xiao Jing is impossible to rest assured, so Xiao Yuning will never be able to leave the Xiao family.
