Chapter seven hundred and twenty seventh digging the wall
The stalemate between the eldest prince and the third prince continued. The third prince could not win over Wan Yanyan's tribes, and seemed to have given up completely. He broke up and reorganized dozens of tribes in his hands, with about 30,000 troops in hand.
The number of troops controlled by the eldest prince is slightly smaller than that of the third prince, but it is still around 30,000.
Wanyan Yan's twenty tribes have only about 10,000 people who can fight, so their fighting strength is quite disparate.
This is one of the reasons why the eldest prince and the third prince temporarily left Wanyan Yan alone. Their biggest enemy is the other party. Once they win the key battle, they will have to deal with Wanyan Yan's ten thousand people.
It couldn't be simpler.
There are dozens of tribes of the Sushen people, some big and some small. The big ones are like the Wanyan, Jiagu, Shuhu and other tribes, which have over 10,000 people, while the small tribes only have a few hundred people. The total number of dozens of tribes,
There are only more than 100,000 men, and the number of men capable of fighting is only more than 70,000.
But these 70,000 people should not be underestimated. The Sushen people are famous for their ability to conquer and fight well. The 70,000 Sushen cavalry can easily defeat the Han army several times their size on the grassland.
The Sushen people were once a nightmare for the Han people, which is why they are so confident. With ten thousand people, they defeated Chen's army of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. They have a lot to bear on them.
Tang Ning did some calculations and found that no matter who had the last laugh between the eldest prince and the third prince, Wanyan Yan would have to face at least an army of 50,000 in the end.
These 50,000 people cannot be resisted by the 10,000 people she has, but by that time, their reinforcements should have arrived.
Tang Ning didn't want Chen's soldiers to face the 50,000 Sushen army. After all, his original idea was to replace them peacefully. Unexpectedly, the third prince committed parricide and usurped the throne, which completely messed up his plan.
Tangning thought for a while, looked at an attendant in the tent, and said, "Ask Aina to come over."
A moment later, Aina walked in, looked at Tangning, and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
Tangning looked at her and asked, "The eldest prince once placed an undercover agent in the Wuyan tribe. Do he and the third prince have any of your people there?"
Aina looked at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes."
As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. The third prince can dig them out, and they can dig them out in turn.
After all, with Wan Yanyan, she had no worries about eating and drinking, but with the eldest prince and the third prince, not only did she have to eat, but she also had to endure their exploitation. Any person with ideals knows how to choose.
It's like working for two bosses. One demands 996, and has to go back to the company to work overtime on Sundays without overtime pay. The other only needs to work eight hours a day, with generous wages and benefits. Which one is better?
Then you will know.
Of course, Wan Yanyan's overall strength is not as good as the other two, and those tribes may have some concerns, but when the news spreads, even if it has no substantial effect, it can still cause some psychological panic.
After listening to what he said, Aina nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements right away."
…
Ethics Department.
The Zhongde tribe is a tribe under the command of the eldest prince. The tribe is neither big nor too small. There are about 2,000 people in the tribe, and they have been following the eldest prince for several years.
In the past few years, the eldest prince has taken away many, many good things from the tribe. The life of the Zhide tribe members is not very good, but they can barely survive.
I thought that this situation would get better after the eldest prince became a khan. After all, they had been with the eldest prince early in the morning, so they might get certain preferential treatment.
But who would have thought that the third prince killed the Khan and took that position himself. In order to compete with the third prince, the eldest prince confiscated most of the food in the tribe. Even the strong men in the tribe were taken away by them, leaving the rest
We are old and weak, and we live a life of eating one meal but not having the next.
The situation of the Sushen tribes was not very good to begin with. The black barbarians wanted to drive them out of the grassland, and Chen Chu kept them out of the border. Now there are constant internal fights within the Wanyan tribe. Many tribes, including the Zhongde tribe,
, there is no hope for the continuation of the tribe.
In the past two days, there has also been chaos within the Professional Ethics Department, with some different voices emerging.
Some people think that they should go to the third prince. After all, the third prince is powerful and holds the talisman. He is the real khan. Following the eldest prince, the life of the family will only become more difficult.
Others are opposed to this approach. They believe that there is no essential difference between the third prince and the eldest prince. Even if they turn to the third prince, their lives may not be better than they are now.
What's more, the third prince killed his father and usurped the throne. He was a cold-blooded man without emotions. He didn't even care about the old Khan's kindness in giving birth, so how could he care about the life and death of their ethics department?
Just when these two different voices were insisting on their own opinions and were in a stalemate, another voice spread quietly among the tribe.
In addition to the eldest prince and the third prince, they also have a different choice.
The fourth princess.
The tribes under the fourth princess have always been the envy of all tribes. They suffered a lot under the hands of the eldest prince and the third prince. Those tribes had no worries about food and clothing under the hands of the fourth princess. Other tribes lived like human beings, and they lived like
Dog, I don’t know how many people sighed secretly, why was it not classified under the fourth princess?
According to reliable sources, it is not too late to join the Fourth Princess. As long as you join the Fourth Princess, each household's share of ten kilograms of rice per month will remain unchanged. The strong men who join the Fourth Princess's bodyguard will be even more generous.
There is no need to worry about food and drink. Compared with being under the fourth princess, being under the eldest prince and the third prince is really worse than being a beggar.
The only thing that makes them worried is that the fourth princess does not have many tribes, and her strength is far inferior to that of the eldest prince and the third prince. Once the eldest prince and the third prince decide the winner, the fourth princess will not have much good life.
It was precisely for this reason that they suppressed the throbbing in their hearts and did not respond to the fourth princess's solicitation.
Although the third voice did not cause much discussion in the Morality Department, one morning, everyone discovered that there were more than a dozen tents missing from the department.
According to people who are familiar with them, these people have gone to seek refuge with the Fourth Princess.
Their food, cattle and sheep were taken away by the eldest prince. After preparing for war, the remaining food was exhausted and it was difficult to make a living. They went to the fourth princess. Maybe they could survive for a while. If they stayed in the ministry, they would starve to death immediately.
They have no choice.
The empty space left after the disappearance of these tents obviously stimulated many people. On the grassland of the Ministry of Professional Ethics, tents began to disappear at a rate of ten to dozens every day.
After all, although they still have some food left in their hands, it will eventually be used up. Now that it is a matter of life and death, it is impossible to think about the future.
The eldest prince has been in panic these days, discussing with his confidants every day how to fight the third prince, and has no time to take care of some chores.
By the time he received the news, the Morality Department, which had more than 2,000 people, was left with only a piece of pasture and the people were gone.
The eldest prince's eyes were blood red, and he said angrily: "What, the moral department has defected to the fourth princess!"
"The eldest prince does not need to be angry." A person beside him said: "A professional ethics department is harmless. As far as my subordinates know, there are also two tribes with nearly 2,000 people from the third prince's side who have surrendered..."
The eldest prince said solemnly: "Control the tribes under you. If anyone dares to defect again, he will be killed without mercy!"
The man nodded and said: "On the third prince's side, He Shilie and Wendy Henbu are ready to surrender to us. The Khan is kind to them, and they cannot accept the third prince killing his father and usurping the throne..."
