Chapter 622: The momentum picks up (Part 2)
Compared to the eldest prince's chaotic situation, the Sixth Prince's situation is much better. He has lost 20,000 people in the past few days, less than 10% of the eldest prince's loss. Moreover, except for the first time Yu Shuang and Yu Xue rushed for a while, there was no large-scale battle later.
The nineteenth princess' attitude towards the Sixth Princess was very obvious, and she was mainly stalemate. If the Sixth Princess came down, she would give him a round of artillery attack. Then all kinds of strange defensive measures emerged one after another, making it difficult for the Sixth Prince. His soldiers were also frightened. With an explosion, they immediately squatted in place and looked around, afraid that more shells would fly in the next place!
So the Sixth Prince was very frustrated in this battle. He had already tried his best, but he had made no achievements. However, compared to the eldest prince, the Sixth Prince was a little secretly grateful, and even very happy that the greater the loss of the eldest prince, the more beneficial it would be to him! But then he thought, why did Duanmu Qi do this?
"There are only two possibilities. One is that the 19th Princess has limited horses, so they can only focus on one side. The other is that the 19th Princess is intentional and wants to differentiate the relationship between us and the eldest prince! The current situation makes us very embarrassed!" Yu Changwen, the teacher of the Sixth Prince, saw some tricks and said with some concern.
"Teacher, where are you talking about this? Isn't it more beneficial to us now?" His Highness Six asked in confusion.
"It is of course good that the eldest prince's strength is weakened, but he asks us for help. Will you help? If you help, we can't afford the millions of food! If you don't help, the eldest prince can only retreat to the original position and return to the three families' stalemates. And the next nineteenth princess will definitely turn around and regain the Huaning County we just occupied. I can guarantee that the eldest prince will definitely ignore it, and it is very likely that he will even take advantage of the situation to rob! Duanmu Qi is very powerful!" Yu Changwen shook his head and said.
"Hmph! I want to regain the county we just got. It seems that the nineteenth sister does not have the strength yet, right?" The Sixth Prince snorted in disbelief. If he returned this county to the nineteenth princess, wouldn't it be a waste of work? He also took hundreds of thousands of people. The most important thing is to help the nineteenth princess drive away the Ming King and become the new overlord who dominates the side!
"Hehe! You must be careful! We have all ignored the most important person, Zhu Xiaobao. With his support, the nineteenth princess's strength is unimaginable. In addition, this cunning Duanmu Qi, no one can restrain her anymore!" Yu Changwen sighed repeatedly and left with a crutch!
"This...is impossible?"
Sure enough, the next day, the eldest prince's messenger arrived and asked His Highness Sixth Highness to support 100,000 grain. Although he was very kind, the eldest prince did not intend to buy it at all, but wanted it! The two families joined forces and suffered such a huge loss. His Highness Sixth Highness should have helped Wuchang!
The Sixth Prince did not refuse and immediately allocated 100,000 grain from Dan. He hoped that the eldest prince could continue to fight with the 19th Princess. If this grain could make both sides consume a large number of people, it would be very cost-effective! In fact, this idea was exactly the same as Duanmu Qi's plan to provide food to the Ming King at the beginning...
...
"What should I do now? We have been losing battles and losing continuously. Since the 19th sister took office, we have been severely damaged. Now there is no fighting spirit in the army. How can we fight this battle?" The eldest prince finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the 100,000 grain from the Sixth Prince. But he was still extremely depressed! Even the Ming King was at its peak, it was not so difficult to deal with! The current situation made him in a dilemma. He could still be satisfied if he could think of a county of the Ming King. But the nineteenth princess on the opposite side did not plan to cease the battle at all. He wanted to recover this county!
"Retreat troops, retreat to the original place, and let Wufang County go back. After all, the foothold here is not stable. If you want to defend it, it will probably cost a lot of manpower, material resources and military strength!" Situ Bufan hesitated for a moment and said rationally.
"What? I've been busy for so long and have so many people. Now I'll return the Wufang County I have. No, I can't say anything. I want to see what kind of ability this nineteenth sister has! Situ Bufan, don't say these despicable words, what I want is how to defeat the nineteenth sister! No matter what, our troops have an absolute advantage! Humph, I was beaten by her hundreds of thousands of people and returned to the original place. Wouldn't I laughed out loud when I said it?" The eldest prince shouted angrily, no longer as polite as before!
"This... OK! Since Qiansui refused to withdraw his troops, there is another way: we will join forces with Jialanjia immediately and let her send troops from the flanks. After all, the 19th Duke really recaptured Wufang County, and she would face Jialanjia's territory directly. She should be very clear about this!" Situ Bufan said helplessly, and he was actually not very relieved. Even if Jialanjia sent troops, he might be pretending and would not really bring out elites. She was also preserving her strength!
"Well! This is an idea. Jialanjia, a bitch, has been working but not working from the beginning, and is watching the fun. Now it's time for her to put some effort into it. Otherwise, I'll get angry and take over her territory! But this is not enough. Mr. Situ, what other tricks do I have? I want the 19th sister to lose sight of each other, otherwise we will be too passive!" The eldest prince was still very satisfied with this suggestion, but he was not satisfied. He wanted more means to deal with the 19th Princess.
"This...and it's better to start from within them, burn the granary, assassinate, poison, etc., to disturb them.
Their morale of the army!" Situ Bufan thought about it and said reluctantly. In fact, none of these things is easy to do! He was forced by the eldest prince and had no choice but to come up with this idea!
"Qiansui, I'll go to this matter. I know who set the fire and knows her hiding place. Let me take someone there!" Unexpectedly, Ao Yang, behind the eldest prince, walked up to the front and took the initiative to ask for the fight. He knew where Ye Qinghong was hiding, and the two of them also had a grudge, but Ao Yang did not kill him. But now Ye Qinghong actually helped Zhu Xiaobao, so he didn't want to show mercy anymore, because what he hated the most was Zhu Xiaobao. Both of his balls were destroyed by Zhu Xiaobao, and he simply turned into a eunuch. However, there were pros and cons. Although Ao Yang could not do personnel in recent years, he could calm down and practice martial arts hard. Therefore, his martial arts have made great progress in recent years and have been promoted to the realm of Wu Zun! He has always wanted to find Zhu Xiaobao to avenge him, and now the opportunity has finally come!
"Okay! It's better to catch me the living ones. I'll eat her alive! I'll give you six golden armor guards and twelve silver armor guards, right?" The eldest prince was overjoyed. He knew this Ye Qinghong for a long time, and he was a slave who escaped from him. When the seventh princess turned against the eldest prince, Ye Qinghong and others then added it to the eldest prince for the pleasure of lust. Unexpectedly, within a few months, Ye Qinghong killed the guards and actually ran away. The eldest prince was very angry at the time, so he still remembered this woman very clearly...
...
In Duanmuqi's tent, the Nineteenth Princess was discussing the next battle with several major generals. Although she has achieved some victory now, it cannot be considered a victory. Her goal is to recover the two counties "Wufang County" and "Huaning County" that fell by the Ming Dynasty, which was considered a real victory.
Not only are the sisters Wu Yue, Yu Li, Yu Shuang and Yu Xue, but also the Princess Ming and several generals under the Princess Ming. They now recognize Princess Nineteen. Especially Princess Ming, her concepts have changed very quickly. Since Princess Nineteen is indeed better than her, then I will assist her with her wholeheartedly. After all, being able to recover lost land can be regarded as fulfilling her wish and being able to breathe a sigh of anger!
"Well? Xiaobao is not here? Really, he doesn't care about such a big thing..." Princess Nineteen said in a low voice when she saw Zhu Xiaobao absent again. Now she had a sense of dependence on Zhu Xiaobao without realizing it, as if Zhu Xiaobao was by her side, everything would become very relaxed.
"Haha! Princess, Xiaobao has something else. Besides, he has always ignored the war! Let's discuss how to recover Wufang County next!" Duanmu Qi said with a laugh.
"Mr. Duanmu, can we really recover Wufang County? That's really great. My tribe members used to live in Wufang County, but now they are forced to be displaced and escape from Wufang County!" Princess Ming said excitedly when she heard this. She had no hope at all, but now she has believed that Princess Nineteen really has the ability to recover the lost land. How can she not be excited?
"It must be! How about it? Madam, are you interested in becoming a county magistrate in Wufang County? This is equivalent to managing your own territory!" Duanmu Qi said confidently, and then planned to let Princess Ming manage and rectify Wufang County.
"Well! I still want to follow Mr. Duanmu to lead troops to fight. Rectification and management is not what I am good at!" Princess Ming thought about it and refused. She found that she still liked the feeling of fighting in all directions. Since Princess Ming went to Princess Island, Princess Ming has lived a very fulfilling life, learned a lot, and witnessed a lot of advanced equipment. She felt that she had begun to like this kind of life!
"When will we start attacking Wufang County?" Princess Nineteen asked anxiously. She needed greater results to quickly gain the trust and support of the people!
"No hurry! It's probably going to take some time. When the eldest prince and the Sixth Prince have a dispute, it's time for us to take action! But we should not take it lightly during this period. We burn the eldest prince's granary and also prevent our granary from being remembered by others!" Duanmu Qi said cautiously.
"Please rest assured about this. I have made careful arrangements and they will never find the location of our granary!" Princess Ming said confidently. Because she had already tasted the pain when she fought with Lingyue Mountain last time, the food was stored in a very hidden cave. This method has been used until now, and the effect is very good!
"Hahaha, Princess Ming has learned from his mistakes!"
“…”
...
Outside the camp of Jialanga, the Ming King actually brought people to visit Jialanga himself. But he didn't dare to break into Jialanga's camp without authorization. Fortunately, Jialanga immediately came out with his men. The eldest prince and Jialanga were also old acquaintances. They joined forces at the beginning, but later because the eldest prince went back on his word and took back the two counties he promised, which caused the two sides to rebel. Now when the two met, the eldest prince was somewhat guilty!
"What wind blows the King of Yong'an Qiansui? It makes Jialanjia feel frightened!" Jialanjia said without any yin or yang as soon as he saw the eldest prince.
"Zao Qiansui, let's put the past aside. The most urgent task is that we must join forces to deal with the Nineteenth Princess now, you can also see
Now, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Once Wufang County fails, you will face the threat of the nineteenth sister directly!" Although the eldest prince was a little annoyed, he had to say with a smile now.
"The nineteenth princess recovered Wufang County, what does it have to do with me? She beat her, I will guard mine, and will not interfere with each other! Why, it seems that you can't hold on anymore, you can't beat Princess Nineteenth? Hahaha, it's really interesting. The dignified prince was defeated by a nineteenth princess, which was really unexpected!" Jialanjia laughed sarcastically.
"Nonsense, I can't beat them? I just neglected to make them successful in speculation. My troops are several times more than hers, and I can't beat them? I'm giving you a chance now so that you can get some benefits!" The eldest prince shouted in anger.
"Not rare! I am very content with my own territory! I dare not expect too much! I am very afraid of those artillery! I dare not step on those places where missiles are buried!" Jialanjia waved his hand without interest and said. It seemed that she had known about the terrible experiences of the eldest prince. In fact, Jialanjia had tasted such pain earlier, and now she is just a little gloating. Finally, someone has repeated the same mistake, which makes her feel much more balanced!
"Don't forget, you have attacked Lingyue Mountain. Once Zhu Xiaobao is freed, he will not let you go!" The eldest prince was angry and annoyed, but he still had to patiently persuade Jialanjia. Now he really felt that he could not withstand the 19th princess. Although he claimed to have four million troops, he had lost one million now, and his fiefdom must be wary of Wang Ting taking advantage of the situation. Recently, Wang Ting has also begun to act, so he has to be careful! If Jialanjia joins forces and the Sixth Prince, he will be sure to win!
"Yes! I'm so scared, so I plan to learn from Princess Ming and marry my daughter to Zhu Xiaobao. Everything will be fine! As for the bride price, just thirty red cannons are fine!" Jia Lanjia patted her chest and smiled exaggeratedly. Not to mention, her coquettish look made the eldest prince feel a little moved, but now is not the time to flirt!
"Stop talking nonsense, will you send troops? If you don't help me, I will kill the 19th sister, but you won't have the best fruits to eat!" The eldest prince threatened with a little anger.
"Well! It's okay to ask me to send troops. I'll send you 200,000 grain first, and two thousand missiles. Well! And two thousand super-powered crossbows, and..." Jialanga actually started to sit on the ground and quarrel with her fingers!
"Fuck, if I have these things, I still have to come to you?"
"Then I can't help, I can only cheer for you here!"
"you……"
...
At the same time, Zhu Xiaobao was sitting in Ye Qinghong's unique cave, sharing the spoils with Ye Qinghong. It turned out that Zhu Xiaobao went to the fiefdom of the eldest prince himself, inquiring about military information, burning several granaries, and also snatched a lot from the fiefdom of the eldest prince. With their skills, it was not a problem to sneak into the homes of the rich. The key was that this time Zhu Xiaobao also brought his old apprentice and Zhao Shenbao. These two were also unbearable and stole treasures, such as pearls and jade night pearls, and whatever they were valuable, they didn't even look at those gold ingots. In this way, the few people came back with a large pocket of treasures on their backs.
"This is yours, this is mine. This is suitable for women. I will give it to you! This is mine..." Zhu Xiaobao was sitting there, dividing the spoils seriously. Ye Qinghong's eyes were filled with smiles, and her heart was warm. It was great to have such a younger brother! In fact, she knew that the reason why Zhu Xiaobao came back here was because she was afraid that the eldest prince would send someone to take revenge. After all, Ye Qinghong had long been famous, and it was easy to think that burning these granaries was her work.
"Okay, I've said that I don't need these things. Your 19th Princess is expanding heavily. You should take them back when you use money!" Ye Qinghong said with a chuckling, but she was still a little sad. Zhu Xiaobao worked so hard this time and went to the eldest prince's house in person to fuel the fire of the 19th Princess!
"Sister! I said, don't live here. Although this place is hidden, it has not been very safe for so many years. Just go back to Xiyuan City with me. I will build a separate house for you and live a quiet and comfortable life. Wouldn't it be good?" Zhu Xiaobao said with a little heartache when he saw Ye Qinghong's slightly thin cheeks.
"When you really control the overall situation, I will come out! You have to find me an island at that time. I don't like to rely on others!" Ye Qinghong hesitated for a moment before saying softly.
"This is too easy. There is an independent island next to Princess Island, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. I will leave it to you when the time comes! In case of any crisis, Princess Island can support you immediately!" Zhu Xiaobao immediately thought of the island next to Princess Island, which can accommodate these people.
At this moment, Zhao Shenbao ran in and gasped and said, "Someone touched it in. It seems that he is not very familiar with the terrain here, but they are all experts. Fortunately, there is a telescope, otherwise I would have been discovered by them! And you must not think of who the person in the lead!"
"Oh! Who is it? Do I know each other?"
