Chapter 340: Turning the tables against the wind 14
Obviously, the fourth prince did not doubt what the general said, and did not think that he was the person of the third prince, mainly because that person was not the general of Shazhou, but the general of the neighboring states of Shazhou, so the four princes did not think that even if the third prince was a little famous in the frontier, he could still make the generals of the neighboring states submit to him.
This is also deliberately arranged by the three princes, that is, they are afraid that if they put people into Shazhou and fight again, the four princes will be suspicious, thinking about whether the generals of Shazhou will surrender to him, and deliberately set up a bureau, and the generals of the neighboring states, according to the degree of conceit of the four princes, will not feel that he has the ability to subdue the generals of the neighboring states, so he will not doubt it.
And now, the third prince saw that the fourth prince was so generous, and even returned the money, okay, let's fight, so soon the general of that state told the fourth prince that he had dispatched troops and horses to clean up those ringing horses.
When the fourth prince heard that Xiangma had been wiped out, he continued to send people to arrest Brother Sun and others, and this time he sent thousands of people to arrest him for the sake of insurance.
Thinking about thousands of people, there will be no accidents, right?
…… Naturally, there was an accident, and before he arrived, he was killed by the "ringing horse".
When the fourth prince received the news, Long Yan couldn't help but be furious, and posted a message asking the previous generals why they didn't wipe out Xiangma.
The previous general said that the ringing horses on his territory had been wiped out, and it was a ringing horse from other territories, and he didn't know why he came, and it was none of his business.
The fourth prince is angry, but he has no money to send a third team, you must know that the previous two times, there were one or two thousand people and horses dispatched, because it represented the face of the royal family, so he gave those people brand-new weapons and armor, and because he was going to the border pass full of Hu people, it was dangerous, and he gave these people a lot of money, as for grain, grass and horses, they must have been prepared.
But it will definitely cost a lot of money to build such a glamorous team, after all, weapons and armor don't cost money to build, and it won't come out directly.
And the cavalry is much more expensive than the infantry - such a long distance, relying on people to walk with their feet, when do you have to go, a round trip, it is estimated that it will be a year smaller, so how can it be done, he wants to clean up the Sun family's big house immediately, so the team is cavalry - in this dynasty, the cost of a cavalry is almost ten times that of the infantry, resulting in these two thousand people killing him a lot of money, now a thousand people are not enough, if he organizes two thousand cavalry...... Where did he get started? Because this is almost what made him dispatch 30,000 or 40,000 infantry before and after, such a large force is just to bring back a group of people from the Sun family...... It's a panic to think about.
Therefore, although the four princes always didn't pick up the Sun family's big house, they were angry, but because they had no money to build this famous hall for the time being, no matter how angry they were, they could only forget it, and they only hated that no one in the Sun family's big house was in Beijing, otherwise they had to clean them up.
In fact, not only did the emperor have no money to send more cavalry, but the two teams died in succession, and these people in the Beijing camp didn't dare to go.
- It is impossible for the emperor to let the palace guards go to "invite" people, so he is looking for people from the Beijing camp.
Many of these people in the Beijing camp are rich and noble soldiers, and they don't have much combat effectiveness, and it's okay to scare the princes in Beijing who are about to move, if they really let them fight with the Hu people and fight with the horses, they really don't have the guts, after all, they usually eat and drink well and wait, holding Gao Yulu, in front of the young master soldiers, they are naturally timid, for fear of death, and the wealth is gone.
Now that I heard that the two teams were wiped out, who would want to go?
So seeing that the emperor had no money to send a third team, they finally put their minds at ease, you know, before, they had been worried that the emperor would continue to send people, or even send more people, and then draw them, then they would be depressed.
And just when the fourth prince tossed several times and sent people to "invite" his grandmother and others, many months passed, and the third prince and Linlang occupied a larger territory.
But to this extent, it is a bit difficult to continue to expand the territory, and the reason is very simple, their sphere of influence is almost close to the capital.
And the closer to the capital, the more prosperous it becomes, and the more prosperous such a prosperous place is to be occupied by those who accompany the four princes Conglong and are now the confidants of the four princes.
Unlike the desolate area far from the capital, people who do not belong to the four princes, secretly support the three princes, and seem to be neutral on the surface have the opportunity to move and arrange people in.
The four princes are also willing to take these bad places as favors and give them to these neutral people, just to show them goodwill, and want to win them over to his side, so as to fight those who know that they are the third prince on the surface.
As for those good places, the four princes must not let them out, and they must let their favorite people go there to be officials.
So now, it's hard to pry more places.
But so many places are enough, the three princes have already occupied a very vast place - not only those places in the desert north, other climates are not too terrible, but they belong to the places of poor mountains and bad waters, and they have also been replaced by the people of the three princes, so they belong to the territory occupied by the henchmen of the four princes, but the place is actually very small.
This is also normal, after all, how many splendid places in the world can there be, most of them are not frontiers, or places with poor mountains and bad waters, only a few places, which are rich places with good climate and many fields, and then they are favored by the people of the four princes.
And this kind of place, to be honest, really fights, the combat effectiveness is very suspicious, because the richer the person, the more afraid of the fight is terrible, will break their own bottles and cans, and then think about the third prince is also the son of the first emperor, his own family fights his own family, then surrender, anyway, it is not an outsider, there is no guilt of betraying the country.
Therefore, if the third prince starts something now, he is destined to succeed.
The third prince probably also thought of this, so when he saw that another winter was coming, he began to discuss with the people below, preparing to wait for the spring flowers to bloom and do it.
It just so happened that he received information that the fourth prince felt that he had stood firm and was ready to summon himself to Beijing - it was estimated that he would get rid of himself as soon as he went.
He could just take advantage of it.
The fourth prince is indeed ready to let the third prince enter Beijing, and then remove this confidant, and also, the people of the Sun family will also enter Beijing together, he does not listen to his own words and enters Beijing, his teeth itch with hatred, and he has long wanted to clean them up.
After tossing several times last time, and failing to get Brother Sun and the others back, the four princes were completely angry, so they didn't send people over this time, but planned to let them come back by themselves; If you dare not come back, let the guards at the border pass escort them back.
Obviously, his method is still quite useful, anyway, not long after the fourth prince started spring, he received the news that made him happy, that is, the third prince, and Brother Sun's family were unwilling to take the initiative to go back, and the border guards had already escorted the three princes, Brother Sun and others to rush back.
Hearing that they were coming, the four princes felt comfortable and began to think about how to clean up this group of people.
Unfortunately, he may not know what kind of people he has recruited.
