Chapter 22: The Annexation of Fire
The eldest prince Shen Jue was placed on the frontier by the first emperor, and he was beyond the reach of the whip in Kyoto, but it does not mean that he does not have a little influence here, if so, it is impossible to mobilize 10,000 iron horsemen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These more than 10,000 people belong to the forbidden army, the prince has infiltrated for many years, recruited some generals in the forbidden army, when the emperor of Qi was there, he couldn't see anything, once he died, this cavalry was a powerful force to seize the heir.
In addition to the army, the eldest prince is also well-informed, so he can know many things about Kyoto even if he is far away from the border.
The first emperor died, although the second prince concealed it well, he was still known to him, and even knew the content of the edict.
The matter of the first emperor's succession and testament, many ministers in high positions knew about it, and at this time, the eldest prince said it clearly, and Shentong felt that the gaze of many ministers looking at him was already abnormal.
Staying in Kyoto for a long time, this is his base camp, and he has been working hard, compared to the eldest prince Shen Jue, Shentong undoubtedly has a little advantage, and his strength in Kyoto is much stronger.
After the death of the first emperor, relying on the advocacy and support of these people, he roughly grasped the situation, and even if others were not of the same mind as him, they rarely came forward at this time and opposed him.
No one is against him, it doesn't mean that he has leaned towards the government and the opposition and has achieved the point of subduing all sentient beings, but the heir to the throne in Beijing is indeed no more suitable and powerful than him.
As soon as the eldest prince appeared, he immediately became different, compared to reputation, ability, and military exploits, the eldest prince is superior, and there are not a few officials in the court who have a good impression of the eldest prince.
Not to mention the edict left by the first emperor, it is really written that the throne should be passed on to the eldest prince Shen Jue, and the people's hearts will turn their backs, so they will be displaced.
Sensing this kind of restlessness in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Shen informed that he could not go on like this anymore, otherwise, the hard-won advantage would really be lost in one day.
Although the second prince is not a genius of the world, he also has outstanding points, otherwise, it would be impossible to please the first emperor and manage such a powerful force, and even faintly suppress the eldest prince.
Although this is due to the deliberate reasons of the first emperor, his own ability cannot be denied.
At least, in the face of big things, he is quite decisive.
"Brother Huang, you are a bloody squirt. It is obvious that you want to sit on the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, if not, is it necessary for you to bring so many soldiers and horses to the imperial mausoleum, you are trying to kill me. ”
Shentong said coldly.
"Hahaha......"
The eldest prince Shen Jue smiled angrily: "Okay, you Shentong, you have learned to beat a rake, if I come here alone today, I am afraid it will be difficult to leave this place alive." Moreover, the throne is mine, you dare to be overbearing, not only is it a big rebellion, but you haven't put me as a royal brother in your eyes, there should be a war between you and me. ”
Zhen Shouyang and the county for more than ten years, as the commander of the border army, all day long with some rude martial artists, the eldest prince is no matter how good he has a good personality and good upbringing, he has also become hot-tempered.
If it is in normal times, it is okay, the eldest prince does not mind showing his upbringing and courtesy as a child of the royal family, and his polite demeanor is rarely compared.
But at the critical moment when it comes to the throne, he can't manage those, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of inconveniences, nothing more than a war to decide.
Not to be outdone, the second prince shouted proudly: "Okay, I'm about to fight!"
In a word, it shows the wealth of the hero.
At this point, it has come to an end, there is only one battle, no matter where it is, it is the law of the jungle, the winner is king, and the loser is the loser.
In this world of cultivation where power is paramount, power determines everything, and the battle for the throne is often more direct and bloody.
The eldest prince transferred troops, more than 10,000 iron horsemen, ready to go, reckless like a torrent of might, overwhelming, many people who were funeral, their faces were frightened, and they were afraid to take it.
Not to be outdone, the second prince mobilized his forbidden army, as many as tens of thousands of people, lined up in a phalanx, spears like a forest, layer upon layer, and the power was like a thousand layers of huge waves, which was amazing.
The power of the cavalry needs distance to be exerted, and the distance between the two sides is not far or close, although it is not enough for the cavalry to charge to the fullest and drive the power to the maximum, but it should not be underestimated.
The sound of iron hooves and the sound of thousands of horses' hooves merged into one, forming a huge force that shook the earth, as if it could crush everything.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, holding their spears, formed a phalanx, orderly, layer by layer, like a city of steel, unshakable.
More than 10,000 iron horsemen collided with the spear phalanx, which was a collision of blood and fire, a contest between knives and soldiers, and a large-scale battle.
The sound of horses' hooves, shouts of killing, and screams are in the ears, forming a fiery battlefield symphony, and the battle atmosphere is shocking and terrifying.
The combat power of 10,000 cavalry is equivalent to 100,000 infantry, and the more than 10,000 cavalry controlled by the prince in Kyoto is really a force that is not weak.
The cavalry has strong mobility, can come and go freely, run like the wind, relying on the impact of the horses, the strength of the soldiers shown, extremely strong, fighting back and forth in the spear formation, invincible.
The imperial tomb buried in Longshan became a decisive battle ground for the two princes to compete for the throne, with soldiers on both sides fighting in the open field, while others avoided it and watched from the wall.
Gu Shaohua and Shang Yunying were hidden among thousands of people, and as the weakest party, they would naturally stay away from the battlefield so as not to be affected.
Since the appearance of the eldest prince, Gu Shaohua's eyes have never left him, and he has been paying attention to the development of the incident, and the two sides directly moved the sword soldiers, which was expected.
"It seems that he is going to win. ”
More than 10,000 iron cavalry had the upper hand, and it wouldn't be long before the spearmen could be defeated, Gu Shaohua's feelings were quite complicated, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice for a while.
If the eldest prince wins, he will inevitably ascend the throne as the emperor and become the lord of a country, and in the process of becoming the emperor, he has also played a certain role, which is at the risk of life and death.
Rubbing his chin with his thumb and forefinger, Gu Shaohua couldn't help but look forward to it, after the eldest prince ascended the throne, would he want to ask for an official position, or ask for some rewards or something.
But there are also hidden dangers, once the eldest prince ascends the throne as the emperor, Gu Shaohua's fake identity will definitely not be hidden, and when the time comes, what will Shang Yunying do with him will make him feel uncertain.
What kind of cultivation is Shang Yunying, a cultivator in the Condensate Realm, let alone the ears and eyes, and the divine consciousness has begun to take shape, Gu Shaohua's low voice, although the voice is very low, is still heard by her.
"Who is going to win, the second prince, but I look at the situation, it is clear that you have the upper hand. ”
Shang Yunying interjected.
With Shang Yunying's cold personality, she would not have paid attention to things other than herself, but today's scene is indeed too big, and it is related to the ownership of the throne of Qi State, so she can't help but pay attention.
As soon as the emperor of Qi died, her blood feud with him had extended to the royal family of Qi, so with her always cold character, she would pay attention to this big war.
Gu Shaohua was taken aback, and then realized that he had leaked his mouth, but don't let her know that she is not the real prince, otherwise, she is afraid that she will have to worry about her life.
"Ah, I'm not talking about the second brother, it's my stand-in, he did a good job, and in the future, when I ascend the throne, I will reward him heavily. ”
Gu Shaohua's mind turned quickly, and he quickly thought of an excuse.
