Chapter 219: Chaos Image, Battle for the Throne
Early the next morning, the news of the death of the Poison King was arranged by the eldest prince to spread it.
According to the rumors, the old body poison king was angry because he couldn't accept the news that the 300,000 army was wiped out!
On his deathbed, he announced that the eldest prince would inherit the throne and become the new king of the poisonous royal family.
The eldest prince Dint decided to inherit the throne after the old king's burial, and issued an order to the third and fourth princes who were leading the army so that they must come back to attend the old king's funeral, otherwise it would be unfilial piety, and he would perform his duties as an elder brother!
Teach these two guys who don't know how to respect their fathers.
After the news broke, all parties reacted, and at first it was thought that Tia, the second prince, who was also in the palace, would be the first to stand up against it and fight with the eldest prince.
After all, the two were rivals, and they had been fighting for the throne for many years, which was something that everyone knew.
But what everyone didn't expect was that on the third day alone, news came from the royal capital that all the military power of the second prince had been obtained by the eldest prince.
The 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 elephant soldiers in the hands of the second prince all unconditionally submitted to the eldest prince!
Just when everyone thought that the eldest prince had solved the second prince and seized the military power, the royal capital suddenly came with news that the second prince was named the governor of Hesheri by the eldest prince and immediately went to work.
Soon the news came that the second prince was indeed on his way to Hesheri, and he was not under any control or surveillance!
This can't help but surprise everyone who knows the news, and they don't understand why things have become the way they are, the second prince actually didn't compete with the eldest prince for the throne, so he admitted it?
Now that he has obtained the troops in the hands of the second prince, plus the exclusive army of the eldest prince and the king, the eldest prince has nearly 600,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry and nearly 20,000 elephant soldiers.
This is already more than half of the country's troops.
The other princes seem to have no chance of turning the tables.
But there is one person who thinks otherwise!
That's the third prince, Pinas!
Pinas didn't believe the big prince's nonsense, he stubbornly believed that the old king must have been killed by the big prince, not some angry death.
He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he led his troops to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, and he is a rare warrior in the royal family!
Originally, he should have gone to lead troops to attack He Jun, but he happened to be poisoned by a princely king in the north, and he took 200,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to quell the rebellion, so he was not in the palace.
Only then did he hand over the errand of leading the troops to the eldest prince and the second prince.
But what Pinas didn't expect was that his side had just solved the rebellious princely king, and the 300,000 royal army that had conquered the savages of Nanli County actually returned with a lot of money.
Then I heard the bad news that the old king couldn't stand the blow and died!
And passed the throne to the eldest prince!
Here's the point!
Passed to the Great Prince!
From the moment he entered the army, he was a myth in the poisonous army, invincible and invincible!
He always thought that the next Body Poison King must be him!
But now it's gone!
His father is dead, the throne is gone, how can he accept it?
And he knew exactly what the purpose of his brother Wang asked him to go back to the funeral, so naturally he couldn't be arrested!
Therefore, no matter whether the old king was really angry because of the war, he could not have died like this!
Nor could he have believed that he must have been killed by the eldest prince, who must have staged a despicable palace coup!
It must be like this!
So he came back with his 200,000 army that had just finished fighting the king of Tubang!
He wants to reclaim his throne by force!
Although he is inferior in terms of troops, in his opinion, these are not problems.
The eldest prince really belonged to himself with less than 200,000 people and a few thousand elephant soldiers, which was about the same as himself.
The rest are either the troops directly under the king of the royal capital and the troops under the command of the second prince, these eldest princes are not as good as their commands, and they have many years of combat experience.
With an army of 200,000 people united in the hearts of the people, it is still certain that the army of more than 600,000 people who are not in the same heart will attack the great prince.
So he directly rejected the eldest prince's request, and said fiercely:
"I'll go back to the royal capital! But as a judge, you, the unclean who killed your own father, are destined to be judged by me!
Wait for my return! ”
It was already obvious to him that he was going to fight back.
The eldest prince had expected this scene a long time ago, so he was not surprised when he got the news, but just looked at the news with a calm face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne, how could he not be prepared for his third brother, who is a good hand at fighting.
Just as the third prince Pinas led an army of 200,000 to counterattack the royal capital, they ran out of food!
The eldest prince cut off all their food logistics and sent troops to transport large quantities of grain back to the royal capital early in all the cities where they could be supplied.
On their way back to the royal capital, although there was still a certain amount of food, it was completely insufficient for the 200,000 army.
In this way, the third prince, who could not find food, could only return to the royal capital with an army of 200,000 hungry stomachs, and launched a decisive battle with the army of the eldest prince who had already eaten and drunk well in the field not far from the king.
Even though the second prince's military command ability is good, the 200,000 troops under his command have been hungry for a while.
As soon as they go to the battlefield, the physical exertion is even greater, and in the blink of an eye, they all turn into soft-footed shrimp.
It was not at all the opponent of the well-fed and well-fed forces of the Great Prince, and they were quickly defeated.
The third prince was captured!
However, he was soon wounded in battle, and died in the royal capital shortly after being captured due to ineffective treatment.
The eldest prince expressed his deep condolences and grief for him!
This is his sibling!
took down the third prince, which means that the entire northern realm of body poison has been stabilized and properly in the hands of the eldest prince.
Now that he ascended the throne as king, the last obstacle was Analuo, the fourth prince of the poisoned south and Shaz Suba as the governor!
As long as he is taken, there will be no more obstacles for the eldest prince to become the new king.
It's a pity that Anaro is not as impulsive as the third prince.
Although he also had nearly 200,000 troops in his hands, he had no intention of attacking the eldest prince, but instead cut off the connection between Shaz Suba and the other Suba in the poison territory.
It means that you want to be self-reliant!
But he is different from the third prince, although the 200,000 troops led by the third prince are stronger than his, but the third prince does not have a stable logistics supply point, and the eldest prince will become a soft-footed shrimp if he cuts off his logistics.
But the fourth prince has a whole Shaz Subba as logistics, and there is no shortage of food at all, and the eldest prince can only take the initiative to attack if he wants to take him!
But one is to attack, the other is to defend, the difficulty between the two is completely different, even if the eldest prince now has three times the strength in his hands than the other party, he is not sure to take the fourth prince.
But if you don't fight, you can't do it, otherwise you, the king of poison, won't be able to convince the public.
Therefore, even if he knew that it was difficult to fight, in the end, the eldest prince could only gather his forces and attack Shaz Suba.
The fourth prince Anaro, who had sufficient logistics, was not afraid at all, and directly guarded Shaz and fought with the eldest prince.
All of a sudden, the two sides were inseparable!
The whole body poison is watching this big battle that will determine the future direction of body poison.
And in Nanli County, Wang Cezhi, who had just returned to Yamen from outside, suddenly received an urgent order from Yunzhou County.
Sitting down and opening it, he immediately ordered his subordinates to summon all the chief officials of Shanliang County.
