Although there is no evidence, King Zhao firmly believes that Wang Xian must be making trouble, because Wang Xian is the only one in the world who has the ability to help the prince in this way and is willing to assist the prince.

This situation suddenly became extremely sinister, from the original closing the door to beating the dog, to the current belly and back of the enemy, His Royal Highness King Zhao and his generals felt unbearable pressure.

"Lord Wang, we must change our plan, attack Beijing immediately, and capture the capital before the crown prince!" Gao Zheng shouted with red eyes.

"Is the capital so easy to fight?" Liu Qiang shook his head and said, "That's the capital built by the first emperor for twenty years!" Not to mention that we don't have enough troops, even if we have several times more soldiers and horses, we don't want to break through the city of Beijing without a year and a half! After a pause, Tian Zihe added: "What's more, after breaking through the outer city and the imperial city, breaking through the imperial city and the palace city, we can't do it before the prince arrives with the army......

"Then let's do it for the prince first!" Gao Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as the prince dies, the capital can be passed on!" ”

"What if the army in the capital takes the opportunity to attack Tongzhou?" Liu Qiang said with a bitter face: "We are suffering from the enemy on our backs, how can we win?" ”

"It's really not good, let's go west......" Tian Zihe whispered.

"You fart!" Gao Zheng angrily drew his sword and said: "I want to run away before I fight, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you first!" ”

"Presumptuous!" King Zhao slapped the table case violently, and only then did he stop the tragic scene of blood splashing on the spot.

"We must not leave Tongzhou," this time, Liu Qiang and Gao Zheng stood aside, and said slowly: "Only when we are in Tongzhou can we compete with Beijing and simplify the battle between the world and the battle between the two cities." Once we leave Tongzhou, the world will be unique to Beijing, and we will be helpless and helpless, and there is only one way to die......"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Lao Liu is talking, how can we do it?" Chen Kai couldn't help but muffled.

"This ......" Liu Qiang said with a deflated breath: "I haven't cared about ...... for the time being"

In fact, what Liu Qiang thought in his heart was that we had no chance of winning at all! From the moment he learned that the merchants of Tongzhou City were collectively going south with grain and grass, he knew that the hearts of the people were back, and this destiny was indeed on the prince! King Zhao wants to change his life against the sky, but he can only say that he has missed the opportunity, and this opportunity to change his life against the sky has always been an opportunity that cannot be lost and will never come again......

Zhu Gaosui is obviously more sober than the generals, including Liu Qiang, and he already understands that no matter how much he struggles, the chances of victory are very slim. But the unwillingness in his heart is better than everything, he is unwilling to admit defeat like this, unwilling to watch the crown prince ascend to the throne, and he will become a shameful traitor, leaving a stench for thousands of years......

The generals watched His Royal Highness King Zhao's expression change several times, and finally froze on the unwilling and hideous face!

Zhao Wanghuo stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "The will has been decided, the whole army will face the prince!" ”

Although everyone knew that the attack on Beijing City was of greater significance, King Zhao resolutely chose to fight the prince in a decisive battle when there was little hope for both plans! Proving that he is better than his two older brothers is what he has always been obsessed with!

In any case, there is a decision after all, at least the generals are no longer like headless flies, and finally have a direction.......

In Jinan City, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completed the ceremony of worshipping the Emperor Daxing in the British Gong Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Anyuan Liu Sheng, the political envoy Chu Yan of Shandong, the envoy Wei Yuan according to the inspection envoy, and the ministers who followed him from Nanjing, completed the ceremony of worshipping the Emperor Daxing, and the monarchs and ministers wearing heavy filial piety held a military meeting outside the mourning hall to discuss the next move.

Similar to the situation in Beijing and Tongzhou, there were also different voices here, and Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, believed that he should immediately lead his army north to eliminate Zhao Wang's army in Tongzhou. The British prince Zhang Fu believed that the crown prince should be safe, stay in Shandong for the time being, and wait for the arrival of the Qin Wang's army in various places to revive the Northern Expedition. And the ministers who came from Nanjing with the crown prince actually proposed to return to Nanjing, succeed to the throne in Nanjing, and take Beijing as their ......

After the defeat of Jining, the British Duke did not return to Beijing immediately, although there was a reason why the emperor was in a coma and no one ordered to recall, but more importantly, the British Duke himself did not want to return to the whirlpool, so he stayed in Jinan City, watched the development of the situation coldly, and controlled the actions of the Zhang family in Beijing.

By the time Zhang Hui participated in the rescue, the attitude of the Zhang family was already clear, and when Zhu Gaochi went north to Jinan, the British prince naturally appeared in the team to greet His Royal Highness the Prince. Although he only has a few thousand soldiers in his hands, as the first duke of the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the world's generals, his attitude is the attitude of the world's generals, and no one dares to ignore it.

So as soon as Zhang Fu spoke, the prince tended to stay in Jinan, but this was obviously inconsistent with Wang Xian's established line, Liu Sheng and Wei Yuan glanced at each other, the latter nodded slightly, and then asked Zhang Fu: "I don't know what the time is ripe for?" ”

"Naturally, it is to wait until King Qin's army is basically in place." Zhang Fu said expressionlessly. Of course, he didn't want Zhu Gaochi to go north too early, and wanted the military generals group to clean up King Zhao, make this great contribution for the new monarch, and stabilize the status of the nobles.

"Now there are 30,000 troops of Grandpa and Houye, is it enough?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Naturally, it's not enough." Zhang Fu shook his head and said: "Zhao Wangjun claims to be 100,000, even if there are many exaggerated, there are also 50,000, and our strength is far inferior to the enemy's army. ”

Before Zhang Fu's voice fell, he heard Liu Sheng smile and said: "Report to my grandfather a good news, Shandong commander Liu Xin, Qingzhou Wei commander Liu Jun and others, all 60,000 troops, will arrive in Jinan in the near future!" In this way, with some miscellaneous troops, we can really put together an army of 100,000! ”

"They ......" Zhang Fu frowned, and said unhappily: "Although I have been recruited, my attitude is unpredictable, and I am afraid that I can't rely on it." ”

"Hey, grandpa's words are chilling." Liu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you have accepted Zhao'an, it is the army of the imperial court, and now is the time to employ people, how can you divide each other?" Saying that, he looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness must rush to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be changes later!" ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaochi was said to be in the right mind, the emperor died, but the prince was not in the capital, this is the source of chaos! In all dynasties, I don't know how many times he has taught lessons, of course he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, he just wants to put on his wings and fly to Beijing. What's more, Wang Xian had already written to him to tell him that Liu Xin, Liu Jun and others could be trusted. The balance in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inevitably tilted towards Liu Sheng and the others. "Indeed, if they can come to King Qin at this time, it shows that their loyalty and filial piety are commendable, and they should not chill the hearts of the righteous people."

In order to take care of Zhang Fu's face, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled again: "Besides, take 10,000 steps back, with the British Duke and Marquis An Yuan here, you are not afraid of anything!" ”

"His Royal Highness is reasonable," Seeing the prince's attitude, Zhang Fu could only take a step back, and changed his words: "Such a force is barely enough, but what about grain and grass?" Shandong has been in war for a long time, ten rooms and nine empty, how can there be grain and grass to supply these 100,000 troops? Shou sighed and said: "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the grain and grass problem is not solved, how to enter the army?" ”

"It's also ......," the prince and the others nodded approvingly.

"That's even more worrying!" Chu Yan, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "We have not moved the soldiers and horses this time, and the grain and grass are already waiting in front!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Chu Yan in surprise: "What tricks does Lord Chu have?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the minister got a report today, within a few days, there are dozens of Tongzhou grain merchants, carrying a large amount of grain and grass to the south, and now they have gathered in Texas, waiting for Your Highness!" Chu Yan said unhurriedly: "These grain merchants are willing to dedicate grain and grass to His Highness free of charge, which is enough to support an army of 100,000 for a year!" ”

"What?!" At this time, not only the prince and others, but even Zhang Fu was surprised! This is the Heavenly Prince! And for King Zhao, it is definitely the bottom of the kettle!

"If that's the case?!" The prince stood up all of a sudden, looked at Chu Yan tremblingly, and had a very rare gaffe.

"It's true, how dare the minister use such a thing to coax His Highness?" Chu Yan said: "It's just that His Royal Highness heard the bad news for the first time the day before yesterday, and he was grief-stricken, and he never had a chance to report it!" ”

"Haha, that's great!" Zhu Gaochi rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Sure enough, these grain merchants are all meritorious heroes of the society, and Lone will definitely reward them!" ”

"The mandate of heaven of the Ming Dynasty is indeed in His Highness! The people are eating pot pulp to wait for the king! "Now even the group of people who originally wanted to go back to Nanjing have come to work. After all, no one is stupid, knowing that this victory is in hand, where will they be stupid enough to turn around and return to Nanjing, of course, they will go to Beijing to harvest the fruits of victory!

Zhang Fu and the city government immediately understood, everything was under the control of Wang Xian, Liu Sheng and his group, and he could even boldly guess that the ups and downs in the past six months had become like this little by little under Wang Xian's layout.

Thinking about this, he sighed secretly, no longer insisted on his opinion, and instead smiled and said: "It seems that I am worried about the minister, since it is His Royal Highness Tianzhu, I still have something to worry about, immediately raise troops to the north, and fight against rebellion!" ”

"What the British Duke said is very true," Zhu Gaochi was very pleased to see that the British Duke had also changed his attitude, and immediately clapped his head: "Please ask the British Duke to be the commander-in-chief, transfer troops and send generals, and rebel for the lonely expedition!" ”

As soon as the prince said this, Liu Sheng and the others looked unnatural, although the British public deserved to be the commander-in-chief, but everyone is not all the way after all, who wants to let him lead?

Fortunately, the British Duke was very sober-minded, shook his head and politely refused: "Thank you for the trust of Your Highness, but in this matter, the minister is not the best candidate." For the sake of the overall situation, I also ask His Highness to take back his fate. ”

Liu Sheng and the others' faces looked a little better, and they said that even if you know each other, Liu Sheng was even more secretly proud, the British Duke is not the best candidate, then the best candidate can only be himself, not anyone else!

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the British public and asked slowly: "In the opinion of the British public, who is the right person?" ”

The British Duke looked at Liu Sheng, looked away from him again, and finally fell on the crown prince, and said lightly: "It must be done by His Royal Highness himself." ”
