Chapter 483: Reckoning

In the early hours of the next morning.

Before dawn, the three military camps in the East Wangfu began to quickly close and start to march.

According to the deployment of Huang Yuanwu, the army of Dongwangfu was divided into five brigades, which moved closer to the imperial capital and Shuinan City respectively.

Huang Yuanwu led the remaining sergeants to walk at the end of the large army, and in the process of the large army's march, he hid in the mountains and forests on the side and disappeared without a trace.

For this operation against the imperial capital, Huang Yuanwu did not plan to go into battle in person. The main reason for this is because the enemy's situation is unknown, according to Huang Yuanwu's conjecture, the Northern Emperor Zhengchu will not choose to fight the East Wangfu head-on, but the forces behind him will force him to do so.

The main purpose of this operation is to let the forces behind them show up, if they don't show up, then the East Wangfu will concentrate the elite, break through the imperial capital, and slash Yang Qin. However, once the Eastern Palace's capital is breached, the throne of Qitian has nothing to do with the beginning of the emperor. And this is something that Huang Zhengchu absolutely does not want to see.

In any case, this operation of the East Prince's Mansion will disrupt the deployment of the others and force them to make a move. This can also grasp the initiative in the hands to a certain extent, and avoid the situation of being passive all the time.

Before setting out on the expedition, Huang Yuanwu specially found the main generals of the two sides, Ding Jiang and Liu Yuan, and emphasized the importance of this battle with them again. If a hidden force appears, there is no love for war, and the preservation of strength is the top priority. After the hidden forces appeared, the rest was Huang Yuanwu's affairs.

The ultimate goal of the East Palace, not to pray for the throne of the sky, to avenge the old prince, to be able to obtain the long-term peace and stability of the East Palace, this is the main purpose of Huang Yuanwu. However, if you want to achieve the latter goal, this throne of praying for heaven cannot be easily obtained by Huang Zhengchu.

The main force of the Eastern Palace, all of which were composed of cavalry, but this expedition was very different from the army of the expedition to the enclave. In addition to the cavalry units that opened the road ahead, the baggage convoy was also in the army, which included the grain and grass used in the march, siege equipment and other baggage, which made the march slower. The original camp was not far from Shuinan City, and Huang Yuanwu planned to complete the deployment before dawn, but because of the heavy snow for several days, the roads were muddy, which also directly affected the speed of the march.

When Ding Jiang led 50,000 troops to the imperial capital, it was already dawn. Ding Jiang immediately ordered all the troops to act according to the deployment, and at the same time arranged a large number of sergeants to be deployed left and right to prevent troops from harassing in the direction of Shuinan City.

But unexpectedly, by noon, the three camps located between the imperial capital and Shuinan City had been set up, and the troops of the Northern Wangfu had no intention of attacking at all. So Ding Jiang immediately began to arrange the construction of siege equipment, waiting for Huang Yuanwu's order to attack the city at any time.

After Liu Yuan led 40,000 horses and horses to Shuinan City, he set up camp and did not encounter any obstacles. Liu Yuan was not surprised by this, and while setting up the camp, he sent a large number of scouts to wander around the two accompanying cities to observe the movements of the Northern Palace.

The troops led by Huang Yuanwu were not many, only more than 10,000 people, but they included his own escort team, and the team was composed of all cavalry, with extremely strong combat effectiveness. He chose a gentle slope to camp on the edge of a gentle slope, where he could see the two accompanying cities and the imperial capital from a distance, as well as the camps of Ding Jiang and Liu Yuan.

In the afternoon, everything was ready, Ding Jiang's 30,000 siege soldiers were also ready, as long as Huang Yuanwu gave an order, he would immediately start attacking the city.

But unexpectedly, at the heads of the two accompanying cities, there was not a single sergeant from the Northern Palace. On the towering city wall of the imperial capital, there is no defender belonging to Yang Qin.

In the entire imperial capital, only the troops of the Eastern Prince's Mansion were active, and neither Huang Zhengchu nor Yang Qin gave any feedback on the military operations of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and they did not even have the intention of deploying defense.

In this regard, Huang Yuanwu frowned again. It's completely different from what he envisioned.

According to normal estimates, judging from the purpose that the Northern Royal Mansion wants to achieve, they will never allow the Eastern Royal Mansion to attack the imperial capital without authorization. Once the Eastern Prince's Mansion breaks through the gate of the imperial capital, all the previous efforts of the Northern Prince's Mansion will be in vain, and they will have no other way back than to retreat to the northern border.

But now......

Huang Yuanwu looked at the direction of Shuinan City from a distance, and in the winter sun, he couldn't see the shadow of anyone walking around the city. The entire Shuinan City seemed to have lost its life overnight. With such a large-scale military operation in the Eastern Palace, even if the Northern Palace, it was impossible not to make any moves, even if the Northern Palaces had not expected it before. According to the previous scout's report, the Beiwangfu stationed more than 100,000 troops in the two accompanying cities, and these soldiers were the main force of the Beiwangfu, and they were also the capital of the emperor Zhengchu to completely suppress the other two kings.

With such combat power, but not doing any action, what is this emperor thinking?

Huang Yuanwu frowned, and the herald sent by Ding Jiang's troops was asking Huang Yuanwu what he meant, and asked him when he would attack the imperial capital.

But seeing Shuinan City, which didn't make any moves, Huang Yuanwu hesitated a little. Not only Shuinan City, but also the imperial capital seems to be unfortified at all. Aside from the closed gates and the banners at the head of the city, he could not see a single sergeant defending the city.

What are Huang Zhengchu and Yang Qin doing?

This is something that Huang Yuanwu has been thinking about. If the North Wangfu does not attack, the emperor will not defend it, and now the East Wangfu attacks the imperial capital, then all the things behind will be borne by the East Wangfu.

It is difficult to say that this is not the strategy of the North Palace, the East Wangfu entered the imperial capital, and the North Emperor was attacking the imperial capital again under the banner of counterinsurgency, and then used some strategies to make the East Wangfu the target of the public, which could also solve the dilemma of the North Palace.

If this strategy is true, then the Dongwang Mansion must not go to the imperial capital now, if there is no resistance, not only will it not be able to attract the people behind the scenes, but it will also cause the entire Dongwang Mansion to fall into a quagmire, and it will be impossible to explain it when the time comes.

"Tell Ding Jiang, wait for my signal, you are not allowed to attack without my order!" Huang Yuanwu looked at the herald who had been waiting for the order, and said in a low voice.

The herald received the order, immediately left the camp, and rode his horse straight to Ding Jiang's camp.

Now, on the plain in front of the imperial capital, only the troops of the Eastern Wangfu are active, and there is no sound from the Northern Wangfu.

Looking at this snow-covered plain, Huang Yuanwu frowned, then got up, took his personal guard, rode on his war horse, and went straight to Liu Yuan's military camp.

The 10,000 sergeants he led remained in place, placed in case of any accidents.

Huang Yuanwu was very puzzled in his heart, and in order to dispel this doubt, he planned to enter Shuinan City again.

When he arrived at Liu Yuan's military camp, he immediately told Liu Yuan what he thought. When Liu Yuan heard this, he was silent.

After a long time, Liu Yuancai said softly: "Little prince, this is dangerous." ”

"If you rashly attack the imperial capital now, the danger will be even worse. Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yuan and said: "This is not a child's house, we can attack the imperial capital in the name of avenging our father, but the people of the world will only look at the results." If there is no response from the Northern Prince's Mansion and no resistance from the Imperial Capital, what should we do with the Imperial Capital? Let the current Emperor continue to sit on his throne?"

"If we enter the imperial capital now, the Dongwang Mansion will be the vested interest in all this, and the people of the world will only see this result. The one who spied on the throne of the emperor and provoked chaos in the imperial capital was not the rebellion of the three kings, and the behind-the-scenes instructions of all this would become the East Palace. We can kill Yang Qin and occupy the imperial capital, but can we block the mouths of the people of the world?"

Liu Yuan listened to Huang Yuanwu's words, but he was silent, he didn't know what to say.

He has never encountered such a situation, his own army has come to the city, but the other party has not said anything, not even a simple deployment, so he is going to watch the East Wangfu attack the imperial capital. If the Northern Wangfu has no plans in it, Liu Yuan will definitely not believe it. In the current situation, the East Wangfu is ready to be launched.

If the troops are withdrawn under the current circumstances, the blow to morale will be fatal.

Liu Yuan looked at Huang Yuanwu, looked at his frowning brows, sighed deeply, and asked softly, "Little Lord is planning to go to Shuinan City?"

"Huang Zhengchu is in Shuinan City, I want to go to him and ask for clarification. Huang Yuanwu's answer was undetached.

"How many people are you going to bring?"

"It's enough to bring my guards. ”

"I'll go with the little prince. Liu Yuan looked at Huang Yuanwu and said this sentence in a categorical tone.

Huang Yuanwu's first reaction was to immediately refuse: "No, you must stay outside the city and lead the army, once something happens to me, you can still keep the main force of the Eastern Palace." ”

"That would be pointless. Liu Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "Little Wangye, there is something you may not have thought about. The old prince died on the battlefield, and you are the new king of the East Palace. If something happens to you, who will succeed to the throne? Yongning's whereabouts are unknown now, and Yang Hui is a military general, and he can't control the overall situation at all. Yuchen has this potential, but he has too little experience and is still too young to take on this role. If something happens to the little prince, the East Wangfu will exist in name only, and no matter how many sergeants are left, it will be useless. ”

When Huang Yuanwu heard Liu Yuan's words, his brows furrowed and he was silent.

He really hadn't thought about this before.

And he didn't think that there would be any danger for him to go to Shuinan City this time, and Huang Zhengchu shouldn't have the courage to move himself.

But...... What if?

Huang Yuanwu has not taken over the East Mansion for a long time, and he has not gone through a proper succession ceremony, although he is in charge of the power of the East Palace, but to a certain extent, his style of action is still stuck in the premise that he was only a military general.

Many times, he didn't think about his life and death, and only thought about how to get things done. It's not the first time he's done something dangerous, it's almost become a way of doing things for him, and he didn't expect it.

However, the current Huang Yuanwu is the lifeblood of the Eastern Palace, and his every move will affect the direction of the entire Eastern Palace.

If Huang Yongning is still there, once something happens to Huang Yuanwu, there will be Huang Yongning who can come up. But now that Huang Yongning has been "invited" to leave, his whereabouts are unknown, and once Huang Yuanwu has another accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"What do you mean...... These people who moved Yongning ......" Huang Yuanwu's brows furrowed involuntarily, and he thought of a possibility, a shocking possibility.

"That's something I just thought. Liu Yuan looked at Huang Yuanwu, he knew Huang Yuanwu's temper, if he bluntly said that it would be absolutely impossible for Huang Yuanwu to give up this idea, so he used a roundabout method. He whispered to Huang Yuanwu: "No matter who the forces behind it are, they are staring at our palace, it must not be a matter of one or two days, and you must know your temper very well, little prince." Therefore, they used the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle to kidnap Yongning, and at this time, if anything happens in the imperial capital, if the little prince wants to take the lead, our Dongwangfu ......"

Liu Yuan didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very obvious.

No matter what Huang Yuanwu thought before, no matter how he guessed the direction of possible development in the future, this time he went to Shuinan City, it was likely that someone else had calculated it, and there was a great possibility, and there was a lot of luck.
