Chapter 209: Three-legged stand

The three princes in Daliang have their own thoughts, and they have played the banner of righteousness and confronted each other.

As a result, all forces have chosen camps, and the Liang elites are facing a reshuffle.

King Yu controlled Jinling, and also controlled the center of the Great Liang, and the lives of many important ministers in the court were in his hands, and the relationship between these people was complicated, which should not be underestimated, and under the threat of life, he had to provide strong support for King Yu.

King Jing has been in the military for many years, and he is quite majestic in the army, and with the help of Mei Changsu and the righteousness of Emperor Liang's holy decree in hand, the forces under his command are naturally very powerful.

The weakest side may be the king, but although he has a clear banner, he rarely participates in the frontal battle, but there is a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and he is just a puppet, and the people around him are all the people arranged by Shao Shan, with Shao Shan's power in the dark, the party of the king is the most not to be underestimated.

Such a situation can be said to be single-handedly promoted by Shao Shan, the melee of the three princes is just a fuse, a fuse of the chaos in the world, in this case, many ambitious people will not be willing to hibernat, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, who has no thoughts about the supreme position, this is the best time.

Daliang is in civil strife, and the surrounding neighbors will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity, but there is a Nihuang in the south, and it is difficult for Nanchu to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and Yeqin in the west is just a small country, not enough to deal with, the local army is enough to deal with, and the defense line of the East China Sea is also strong and abnormal, and there will be nothing to do in a short time, and the most tricky may be the north.

However, Shao Shan had long expected such a situation, and there was no need to hide the forces that had secretly developed over the years.

In fact, the ruling class of all countries is the same, and it is always the lowest class of toiling people who suffer, just like Daliang will break out several small and medium-sized civil uprisings every year, and Dayu and Beiyan are not peaceful, but at this time, all countries still have the strength to extinguish them, and they have not made too many waves.

Over the years, Shaoshan has focused on the development of the lower class of poor forces, these people have long been difficult to survive under the oppression of many magnates, at this time, under the call of someone, they have responded, and a large number of people have gathered in a short period of time, and there is a great tendency to spark the prairie fire, and with a unified leadership, they are no longer a rabble, and their combat power is not trivial.

Under such circumstances, although Dayu and Beiyan have been deploying troops, they do not dare to act rashly for a while.

At the same time, there were also changes in the Beiyan court, which can be regarded as a hidden danger buried by Mei Changsu at the beginning.

At the beginning, in order to completely start his reputation as a Qilin talent, Mei Changsu supported the six princes, who were the most powerless and helpless among the many princes of Beiyan, to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, which naturally made many powerful princes dissatisfied, and the disputes over the years have not been broken.

At this time, Emperor Beiyan's body had problems, seeing that his life was not long in the future, he was in a coma for a long time, where could many princes still endure it, for the sake of the throne, even if they were brothers, they would not hesitate to see each other.

The six princes of Northern Yan are isolated, either sit and wait for death, quietly waiting for death, or can only seek foreign aid, because he really does not have any strong support in Northern Yan, and most importantly, he can't trust all the forces in the country, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not secretly collude with a certain prince.

The six princes of Northern Yan faced the choice of life and death, thought about it again and again, and finally secretly sent their henchmen, holding tokens, and sent a request to Shao Shan, and the conditions offered were not bad, as long as Shao Shan helped him ascend the throne, he could cede the land of the six states of Northern Yan after the matter was completed, and even he could support Shaoshan to become a country independently.

Shao Shan was not surprised by the choice of the six princes of Northern Yan, with the help of external forces to calm the internal chaos, it was not the first time that it had happened in all dynasties, compared to ascending to the throne, the price paid was not worth mentioning, but the consequence of doing so was often to lead the wolf into the house.

The most important thing is that even without the invitation of the six princes of Northern Yan, Shao Shan will not give up such a great opportunity.

"Hahahaha, now that everything is ready, let me see who is in charge of this world!" Shao Shan, who was in the governor's mansion in the north, burst into laughter.

"Pass the order down and prepare for battle!"

"Yes, Governor!"

Under an order, the whole army in the north of the Liang region rolled into action, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and now there are 100,000 troops in the north of the country, but in fact, it has already been secretly expanded to 160,000 by Shaoshan, plus over the years, Shaoshan has invested a lot of resources regardless of returns, and now the northern army can be described as a prosperous soldier.

In April, Shaoshan, Marquis of Jingbian of the Great Liang Dynasty, announced that he would accept the request of the prince of Northern Yan, sent troops to help him quell the rebellion, and personally led 80,000 elite troops directly from the border and drove straight into the territory of Northern Yan.

Under the secret arrangement of the prince of Northern Yan, the border defenders of Northern Yan were vulnerable and collapsed at the first touch, and the vast territory of Northern Yan had completely opened its arms to Shaoshan.

Shao Shan led the army into the territory of Beiyan, and did not rush forward, and he did not really want to help the six princes here, during the march, the elite army continued to attack, gathering the local forces, but there were disobedient all killed, in a short period of time, the land of the three states on the border of Northern Yan fell into the hands of Shao Shan.

The princes of Beiyan are constantly strife, and the garrisons in various parts of the territory are also panicked, the army is chaotic, and the combat effectiveness is inevitably discounted.

Everywhere he passes, Shao Shan fights steadily and quickly consolidates his power, now he doesn't have much time, some powerful ministers who are loyal to Beiyan, he doesn't have so much heart to subdue, regardless of whether he has talent or not, he will raise a butcher's knife to kill without mercy, but some soft bones are easy to subdue, in order to show his loyalty, he will do his best to help Shao Shan consolidate his power, but it saves him a lot of time.

At this time, the turmoil in Dayu had been effectively controlled, and the Dayu army had freed up its hands, and in the face of the two neighboring countries that were also in turmoil, the ambition of the Dayu Emperor suddenly swelled.

In May, Dayu suddenly raised 100,000 troops to attack Beiyan and left, which was exactly the same as Shaoshan's routine.
