Chapter 491: The Second Prince Receives a Boxed Lunch
During Chu Huaicheng's year in Youzhou, he cultivated his own forces in Youzhou. Ordered someone to dig an underground passage. There are 5,000 elite soldiers in it.
In addition, there were 30,000 horses from other places, all of which he had asked his henchmen to collect over the past year.
He sent someone to investigate, and Chu Huaijin only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses with him when he came to Youzhou this time. There are only hundreds of secret guards in the capital.
No matter how fast he is compared to his 40,000 soldiers and horses, Chu Huaijin will still be buried in the land of Youzhou this time.
As soon as Chu Huaijin died, it could be regarded as a major trouble for him, and the emperor was not to be afraid. He doesn't care about being infamous for killing his brother and seizing power.
As long as he can sit in that position, the history books will be rewritten by him. He is the absolute authority.
However, if he wants to attack the capital, 40,000 soldiers and horses are obviously not enough.
He could only cooperate with the Barbarian King to attack the capital, with the help of the Barbarian soldiers and horses.
He promised that when he sat in that position, he would cede the six major cities of the Great Chu State to the barbarians. The two parties have signed a contract.
This is just his strategy to delay the army, and when he becomes the emperor, there will be no shortage of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he will send troops to attack the barbarians and recapture the city. To pacify the barbarians.
Chu Huaicheng was escorted by dozens of guards out of the underground passage and came to live in another hidden courtyard.
There were also barbarian envoys in the courtyard, who were responsible for consulting with him on how to invade the capital.
Chu Huaijin took the secret guard to search in Chu Huaicheng's courtyard, not letting go of any place.
Eventually, a mechanism was found on the ground in a hidden bush.
Chu Huaijin stepped on the mechanism and found that the stone slab under the grass was hollow. There are stairs leading to the underground, presumably an underground passage.
Chu Huaijin didn't dare to rush in, worried that it was Chu Huaicheng's elite soldiers inside.
He ordered someone to arrest the Taishou and tie it up and throw it into the firewood room and lock it up, so that the Taishou would not go to report to Chu Huaicheng.
Chu Huaijin ordered someone to guard the courtyard, and he took the two of them to mobilize soldiers and horses.
He brought a total of 10,000 elite soldiers and mobilized 3,000 elite soldiers to Chu Huaicheng's courtyard.
He entered the underground passage with hundreds of dark guards and three thousand elite soldiers. It was bigger than he had imagined.
There are indeed soldiers raised by Chu Huaicheng under the underground passage, and it seems that there are more people than he brought. One by one, they practiced neatly.
"Whoever dares to break into the dungeon will be killed." The leader of the dungeon speaks.
"Heh, it's not certain who will kill the deer." Chu Huaijin snorted coldly, completely unconcerned.
This makes the leader of the dungeon less confident. The popularity in front of him is extraordinary, and he doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
But when he saw that the man in front of him had not brought as many people as theirs, he suddenly became confident again.
Chu Huaijin is also different from the people in the dungeon, with a gesture, the people behind him understand that all the people in the dungeon will be dealt with.
Before the people in the dungeon could react, Chu Huaijin's people rushed in front of him. The two sides are entangled in one place.
The people in the dungeon are all carefully cultivated by Chu Huaicheng, and they still have some kung fu on their bodies.
Chu Huaijin's three thousand elite soldiers, as well as hundreds of secret guards, took a pillar of incense to eliminate all these people.
Immediately after that, it was to clean up the battlefield, and Chu Huaijin's 3,000 elite soldiers wasted a lot of effort to move all the more than 5,000 people out of the dungeon.
Chu Huaijin put his three thousand elite soldiers into the dungeon and dressed up as Chu Huaicheng's people. I plan to wait here for the rabbit, if nothing else, Chu Huaicheng will come to the dungeon again.
The next day, Chu Huaicheng talked with the barbarian envoys, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the barbarians had arrived in Youzhou to support him. The Barbarian King was planning to help Chu Huaicheng deal with the Three Princes. As soon as the three princes died, their barbarian army also lost their biggest opponent. They can also occupy the border of Youzhou.
The two of them discussed how to deal with Chu Huaijin, they added up to almost 100,000 soldiers and horses, Chu Huaijin only brought 10,000 horses, and he couldn't miss this good opportunity. This time, both of them were confident.
Chu Huaicheng brought hundreds of people to protect him, and planned to go to the dungeon to deploy. When he entered the dungeon, he saw that it was still the same. The soldiers in the dungeon are still neatly rehearsed.
It's just that he hasn't seen the leader of the dungeon for a while. Of the 5,000 he was familiar with the ruler. "Why didn't you Commander see that?"
Chu Huaicheng asked this, but no one responded. He had a bad feeling in his heart, watching the people of the dungeon surround him and the hundreds of people he had brought with him. "What do you mean by that? I don't know who the master is, is it possible to rebel? ”
"You are not right, the people in the dungeon belong to the king. What about rebellion? Chu Huaijin walked down from the wooden steps and happened to hear Chu Huaicheng's words.
Chu Huaicheng's face was ugly, and he had some guesses. "Why did the third prince appear here?"
"This king will not answer the question of a dying man." Chu Huaijin's cold voice made Chu Huaicheng's body tremble, and in the end, he lost.
It's all because he was too careless, he still has 40,000 horses, and he has the support of barbarians, but he didn't expect that these would be useless, and he died in the dungeon, which cannot be said to be sad.
"The criminal minister Chu Huaicheng did not repent, not to mention recruiting troops in Youzhou, and cultivating forces in the dungeon to try to rebel. vainly want the life of this king. And the king will not spare him any more. Immediately execute Chu Huaicheng. Chu Huaijin gave an order in a cold voice.
To avoid extraneous branches, he will cut first and then play, and when the time comes, he will write a letter to explain the situation here.
Chu Huaicheng laughed loudly in despair and burst into tears. Then a machete came and cut off his head. The remaining hundreds of people he brought were also dealt with.
Chu Huaijin left the dungeon, although Chu Huaicheng was solved, but the rest of his forces in Youzhou had not collapsed. He had to completely collapse Chu Huaicheng's forces in Youzhou before he could return to the capital with confidence.
Recently, he found that there are many barbarian soldiers in Youzhou, which is not a good phenomenon. It stands to reason that the barbarians should not appear in the territory of the Great Chu State. He sent people from the mountains and the flowing water to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Two hours later, there was a result, and Chu Huaijin knew that Chu Huaicheng had colluded with the Barbarian King, but fortunately he came to Youzhou. Otherwise, Youzhou will be occupied by the barbarians.
He hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to the capital with carrier pigeons. Ask the emperor to send troops to support. It will take half a month to come back and forth, and I don't know if his 10,000 elite soldiers can insist on coming to the rescue of the soldiers in the capital.
Chu Huaijin returned to the courtyard and summoned his two henchmen, and the three of them began to analyze the current situation. 10,000 elite soldiers to deal with Chu Huaicheng's remaining forces, plus the barbarians, is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg.
He will not ask his men to make fearless sacrifices, and all he can do at the moment is to delay as much time as possible and wait for the soldiers from the capital to come to support.
