Chapter 66: The Missing Great Prince
Hearing Su Chen's words, the third prince Su Yi trembled.
"Don't, Emperor, we are brothers anyway, you can't bear to look at the lonely ......"
The words of the third prince Su Yi, under the gaze of Su Chen's calm eyes, could not be said halfway.
He muttered for a while, and said dejectedly: "When I return to Beijing, I will find a girl, marry myself, and I will not mess with flowers and grass in this life." ”
The third prince was really afraid, and the emperor was not satisfied, so he raised his hand and cut himself with a "Ka Cha" ......
"Well, good, I'll give you a marriage when I go back. ”
Su Chen nodded, quite satisfied.
Su Yi didn't understand where he provoked Su Chen, and he wanted to castrate himself.
Su Yi didn't dare to look up at Yun Xiaoxiao, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never look at the woman beside the emperor in his life, even if it was a maidservant, he would not take a second look!
Su Yi was suddenly very touched, he felt that his father was not as elusive as Su Chen.
This is the real companion like a tiger, take care of your own eyes, manage your own thoughts, this can live a long time.
Yun Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes on the side fell on Su Chen's body, timid and full of gratitude, her little hands kept wrapping around her sleeves, she was very afraid of the third prince Su Yi, but the emperor protected her so much.
She's just a servant, Yun Xiaoxin's heart is full of emotion, and Jun En is mighty.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't know that Su Chen protected her, not because of her, but because of her surname.
The people of the Yun family, even if they are just a handmaid, are not something that others can bully.
The people and families I want to protect, even if everyone in the world wants to kill them, I can save them!
This is the first time in 100,000 years that this is a promise and an unfinished protection.
......
In the afternoon, Su Chen ordered someone to clean up the study of the Taishou Mansion, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, take Su Yi with him, and torture the information.
According to the information that Su Chen already had, the southern battlefield was united by the rebels of the second and third princes, the eastern battlefield was united by the rebels of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, the western battlefield was united by the rebels of the fifth prince and the seventh prince, and the northern battlefield was united by the rebels of the sixth prince and the eighth prince.
Judging from the information supplement given by the third prince Su Yi, there are mainly two factions among the eight kings: the eldest prince and the second prince;
The three princes originally served the eldest prince, while the four princes originally served the second prince, and the four of them formed the greatest force among the eight kings, while the other princes implicitly fought for themselves.
Now the second prince has been defeated and fled, the third prince has been subdued, the fourth prince has died, but the eldest prince Su Xin is nowhere to be found.
The western battlefield and the northern battlefield, if Su Chen expected, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince are on these two battlefields, and the army under the command of these four people has a total of more than 800,000.
And the missing eldest prince is the one who has the most troops and the most elite divisions among the eight kings.
The eldest prince has an army of 500,000 under his command! He can be said to be a fierce general and a large number of military advisors, and he is a person who Su Chen is extremely vigilant about.
Among the eight kings, only the eldest prince deserves Su Chen's special attention.
The eldest prince Su Xin only showed up in Pingye City not long ago, and then disappeared, and now there is no news from the direction of Linshan City, where can he go?
The army of 500,000 people, although there are many people, but the vast territory of Great Xia can be called infinite (the size of two Huaxia).
At a time when the whole country is in turmoil and the news of the ten major counties is blocked, if the 500,000 troops really want to hide, they will not be able to find it for a while.
"Could it be that he went to the western battlefield, or the northern battlefield?"
Su Chen muttered to himself, pinched the end of the pen, and was silent in thought.
I have to say that the time when Su Chen sent out his troops happened to have a time difference with the eldest prince Su Xin, and when Su Chen took the path and rushed to Pingye City to support, the eldest prince had already left.
"It's the same when you look at it, the eldest brother either went to the battlefield in the west, or went around to the north. ”
The third prince nodded on the side, squinting and eating the pastry.
At noon, he didn't eat lunch, and he was pulled over by Su Chen to torture him, and his stomach was almost hungry.
"Didn't you belong to the Great Prince's faction before, and you don't know where he went?"
Su Chen raised his head, his eyes were deep and condensed Su Yi, and his tone was calm.
Su Yi raised his head and looked at Su Chen's eyes for a moment, a little flustered.
It's not that he has a weak heart, it's just that the emperor's eyes are too calm, as if he is looking at a dead person, which makes the third prince creepy.
"No, no, no, cough, cough, Emperor, Lone really doesn't know where he went!"
The third prince hurriedly put down the pastry, coughed non-stop, sprayed pastry fragments in his mouth, and kept waving his hand to explain.
He tried to swallow the pastry in his mouth and continued to explain: "Don't you still believe in Lone? Lone has come to this point, and he is on the same ship as you!"
"You should also know the character of the eldest brother, he is really yin, Lone has been with him for three years, he didn't even tell Lone about the rebellion in advance, and when the general trend has been achieved, he let Lone follow the army to rebel. ”
Su Yi opened his mouth, and when he said this, his tone was a little depressed: "If it weren't for such a hurry, Lone didn't have time to form a sufficient army, and the troops were too small, how could he be targeted everywhere in the Eight Kings Alliance and looked down upon everywhere." ”
Where there are people, there is strife, and there is no brotherhood in the royal family.
The three princes have few soldiers, so naturally they have no right to speak among the eight kings.
Since three years ago, the third prince and the eldest prince have officially been better.
But for such a big thing as a rebellion, since the eldest prince wants to pull himself to the battlefield, why didn't he remind himself in advance?
This made the third prince always have a pimple in his heart.
Su Chen nodded, did not blame Su Yi for his disrespectful words, and continued to ask, "Then do you think he will be on the western battlefield?" or the northern battlefield?"
"It's all possible. ”
The third prince thought slightly, and said seriously: "It's impossible to say for sure, you also know the character of the eldest brother, others can't see through his mind at all, and no one knows where he will go." ”
Su Chen said lightly: "You are talking nonsense." ”
I asked you which battlefield he was most likely to go back to, and you told me that he could go anywhere.
It's not nonsense, or what?
Su Yi said aggrievedly: "Originally, he could go anywhere." ”
Su Chen glared at the third prince, he shrunk his neck, and didn't dare to speak.
Okay, okay, you are the emperor, you scold, and you are alone.
Su Yi simply stopped talking and continued to taste his pastry.
Among the eight kings, he has the lowest talent, and he has no ambitions, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince has been wooing him, he owes a lot of favors for more than ten years, and Su Chen does not have an advantage on the cards, he will not be stupid to follow the army to rebel.
"An army of 500,000 people, no matter where they go, they may affect the entire battle situation......
Su Chen muttered to himself, there was a map of the entire imperial capital in front of him, which was made by the masters of the army and the masters of Danqing as early as the imperial capital.
The map isn't accurate, but it's pretty much the same.
Now on the western battlefield and the northern battlefield, there are Li Yuanba and Bai Qi's armies in charge, even if the eldest prince goes to either side, Su Chen is sure that the two of them can hold it.
After all, the Great Xia Iron Army is a military army, the best at defending the city, and Liu Bowen and Guan Yiwu also accompanied the army, and Li Yuanba and Bai Qi are also fierce generals.
Although Su Chen knew that the army of the Great Prince might not be able to successfully break through the defense lines of these two places, he always felt uneasy and felt that he had neglected something.
"He has an army of 500,000, you also have 300,000 rebel prisoners and 10,000 royal forest troops, and the legendary realm of Lei Zhenzi. Wherever he goes, you can follow him to suppress it. ”
This was Su Yi's thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being scolded.
The prince has a lot of troops, but not all of the 500,000 troops are elites, the elites are at most 100,000, and the others are miscellaneous soldiers, and the momentum is just immense.
As long as there is an army of the same elite to contain the main force of the Great Prince, plus the masters of the Legendary Realm are in charge, there is not much difference between 300,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 400,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and the odds of victory are five or five.
Although the third prince has no great ambitions, he is not stupid, he can guess that on the western battlefield and the northern battlefield, there is definitely Su Chen's foreshadowing and defensive force.
No matter which battlefield it is, as long as it arrives in time, the armies of both sides will not be able to jump for long no matter how powerful the prince is.
As for how to capture the whereabouts of the eldest prince, this is a problem that the emperor considers, and there is no need to make decisions alone.
Just as Su Yi was thinking in his heart, Su Chen suddenly spoke.
"Wait!"
Su Chen's deep voice made the third prince's wrist shake, and a piece of pastry fell off before it was delivered to his mouth.
Solitary..... Lonely pastry!
Su Yi glanced sadly at the broken pastry, which was a very uncomfortable thing for a prince who loved food.
My emperor, loneliness is just a pastry, why do you suddenly shout?
Aren't you afraid that loneliness will wither from now on?
