Chapter 471 Taking Back Military Power
What Emperor Qinglong did not expect was that just as he ordered his assassins to send the letter, news came back from the border of Northern Chu.
The Crown Prince of Northern Chu took the initiative to provoke and attack, and Yu Ziche had to fight back. After several battles, they were evenly matched.
The Crown Prince of Northern Chu did not want to engage in a stalemate with Yu Ziche, so he sent out his vanguard camp, and using his familiarity with the terrain, burned Yu Ziche's food supplies.
The army cannot be without food and fodder, so in this situation Yu Ziche could only retreat back to the city and defend it.
However, he completely overlooked the fact that the city they were retreating to was originally seized from the people of Northern Chu, and not all the people of Northern Chu in the city were submissive to Jin'an.
What’s even more terrifying is that there are many spies planted by the Emperor of Northern Chu in the city.
When the Emperor of Northern Chu fell ill, they endured and hid without receiving any orders, but after receiving the orders from the Emperor of Northern Chu, they wanted to kill all the Jin'an soldiers without leaving a single survivor.
Especially for the main general Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting who had caused the people of Northern Chu to lose their morale, he couldn't wait to get rid of them.
These spies only used some food and grass to lure Yu Ziche out of the city to fight, but they were defeated by the Crown Prince of Northern Chu who had already received the news, and even the city was recaptured.
Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting fled with the remnants of their troops, but were captured by the Crown Prince of Northern Chu, who knew their actions well, and their lives and deaths are still unknown.
Upon receiving this news, Emperor Qinglong shouted excitedly: "God help me!"
Who could have thought that the Crown Prince of Northern Chu was so capable, and Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting were so vulnerable?
Now he only hoped that the Crown Prince of Northern Chu would kill them both, so that he would have no more worries.
"What about the 80,000-man army?"
He cares about the life and death of his fellow apprentice Yu Ziche, and he also cares about the 80,000 troops under their command.
"The Crown Prince of Northern Chu was ruthless and forced the army into the valley, and even the fire attack left very few of them."
Emperor Qinglong was slightly stunned by this unexpected reply, and then he sighed distressedly: "Sixty thousand troops!"
That loser Yu Ziche destroyed his 60,000-strong army so easily.
Although Emperor Qinglong was heartbroken, he had to reluctantly accept this reality if he had to get rid of Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting as well.
"Tell Bei Chu to keep a close eye on them. If Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting are dead, send the news back to the capital immediately."
The wealth in Jiang Yanting's hands must never fall back into Song Wentian's hands.
Although he seized the wealth of Ye Xuanling and the Tong family, he realized how frivolous the money was once he got it in his hands.
However, he has always owed too many debts, and now he needs to spend money everywhere to run his business, so he urgently needs more wealth, and Jiang Yanting is the best money bag.
After the assassins left, Emperor Qinglong pondered for a long time.
Although it was a pity to lose 80,000 troops, it was worth it if it could save the lives of those two guys and bring back Jiang Yanting's enormous wealth!
Without the 80,000-strong army, he no longer had to worry about their rebellion, and he didn't have to go to great lengths to take back the military power from Yu Ziche.
Thinking of this, I feel relieved.
Emperor Qinglong placed two chess pieces on the chessboard.
Next is the border between Nanyue and Xidi.
Guarding the Western Di border are the Qin father and son and Qin Liran. He deposed the crown prince, and Ye Xuanqi died in a sea of fire. He is not stupid enough to confront the Qin family head-on.
Therefore, Fang Yichen, who was stationed at the border of South Vietnam, became the best choice.
What's more, the Fang family members are all in the capital and are all bargaining chips in his hands. He doesn't believe that Fang Yichen, that young boy, would abandon his entire family just to hold military power.
He was raised by the old General Pingnan, and the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is very deep.
After some analysis, Emperor Qinglong finally decided to start with Fang Yichen in South Vietnam.
After the imperial edict reached Nanyue, Emperor Qinglong received a letter from Nanyue.
Fang Yichen obeyed the order and was willing to return the military power, but just as he was about to return it, an accident happened. The third prince of Nanyue led his troops to attack the military camp.
Fang Yichen led his troops to meet the enemy and had the upper hand, but the Nanyue people were extremely cunning and good at setting up formations. The third prince of Nanyue actually brought wizards to set up a formation that trapped him and his army, making it impossible for them to escape.
"idiot!"
Emperor Qinglong was so angry that he almost tore down the Chongzheng Hall: "The people of Nanyue are really stupid!"
Especially the Third Prince of Nanyue, who was not worthy of being in public, actually ruined his plans at such a critical moment. His crime was simply unforgivable!
It's what he deserves for not getting the recognition of the Emperor of Nanyue.
No, he couldn't delay any longer!
Delay would lead to unexpected events. Regardless of whether Fang Yichen could escape from the formation of the third prince of Nanyue alive, he could not miss the opportunity to take back the military power.
He immediately picked up the pen and wrote another letter to the Emperor of Nanyue. He firmly believed that given his friendship with the Emperor of Nanyue, the Emperor of Nanyue would definitely let his foolish son get rid of Fang Yichen.
In this way, he could legitimately take back the military power that fell into the hands of the Fang family.
As for the Xidi side...Emperor Qinglong frowned.
People from the barbaric land of Xidi are also unreasonable, just like that idiot Xidi Emperor.
But there is one advantage, that is, they will forget their principles when they see profit, and as long as you give them enough, they will do anything.
Although he felt a little sad, Emperor Qinglong still decided to give part of his wealth to Emperor Xidi.
If I could use that little bit of wealth to exchange for the lives of the Qin family, it would be worth it.
After making the decision, he also sent a secret letter to Emperor Xidi.
A month later, Emperor Qinglong indeed received the military tokens sent by Nanyue and Xidi, along with secret letters from the two emperors.
The Emperor of Nanyue mentioned in the letter that although Fang Yichen was not dead, he had been poisoned by the miasma of Nanyue. Even if he was alive, he would be a waste and would not live long.
As for the letter from the Emperor of Xidi, it contained good news that made Emperor Qinglong extremely excited. General Dingguo was seriously injured and difficult to treat, Qin Lishu had a broken arm, and now only Qin Liran, a woman, was left in the entire army to support it. As for Ye Youran, she was captured by the Prince of Xidi.
In the letter, Emperor Xidi said frankly that he had taken a liking to Ye Youran. Knowing that she was a princess of the Jin'an Dynasty, he also informed Emperor Qinglong that he wanted his little daughter!
When mentioning Ye Youran, the obscene and lewd tone in Xididi's voice was as unconcealed as in the past.
Emperor Qinglong burned the secret letter in disgust.
But as for Ye Youran, using him to exchange for Xididi's help is the best use of his resources.
Emperor Qinglong held two military tokens tightly in his hands, feeling indescribably happy. He finally had everything in his own hands and no longer had to fear anyone.
Emperor Qinglong narrowed his eyes. He could eliminate all those obstacles that were disloyal to him and no longer have to worry about the consequences of killing them.
Three days later.
There were many guards in the capital that had never been seen before, and they exuded a solemn and dark aura, as if they came from hell.
Outside the palace, there were many kneeling prisoners who were to be executed. Leading the way were Taifu Zhu, Prime Minister An, General Pingnan, and General Zhenyuan.
