Being able to become the emperor amidst the competition among many princes, he is certainly not completely stupid.

In the imperial city.

The emperor wrote an imperial edict to each of the two princes who threatened to purge the court.

The general idea is that no matter which of you two becomes the emperor, it's still our own business, and it can be considered our own family affair.

But General Chen wants to change the dynasty.

[Your coming here is your own business, but General Chen's coming here is like an outsider knocking on our door. Why don't the three of us work together to drive the outsider out first?]

[As long as you leave me as an idle prince, I will recognize whichever of you two will be the emperor in the future! ]

There was no mention of Chu Junxu's affairs in the letter.

Now there are four rebel kings.

Just count the noise from Chu Junxu's side!

Whether it was soldiers, money, food, or siege of cities and territories, Chu Junxu's side was only a bonus.

Although the slogans shouted at the beginning were about changing the dynasty, as soon as General Chen came out, they could no longer shout them out.

At first the emperor thought that General Chen might not be able to hold out for a few more days.

The daily expenses for food and necessities for an army of 150,000 would be tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But when General Chen captured three cities in one day and occupied half of the province in five days.

No one thought that way anymore.

At this speed, General Chen can definitely conquer the whole world before he goes bankrupt!

Normally.

After rebelling, there is no need to rush to attack the imperial city. The best option is to kill those who are competing with you for the throne first.

But Fang Xing said it didn't matter.

Just hit whichever way is convenient!

Express horses at an express speed of 800 miles per hour kept delivering letters to the imperial city like the wind, and a military report arrived every few hours.

The ministers in the Ministry of War were all numb.

Letter after letter, all of them were [Rebels are at the gates of the city, requesting troops to support]

At first, the emperor summoned his ministers to select generals to lead troops to intercept.

You can imagine that in order to save money, the emperor dared to directly throw 150,000 border troops to General Chen to help support them.

How could it be possible to allocate all the funds for the troops in other places?

Now, Your Majesty, summon the surrounding troops.

After the imperial edict was issued, it took seven full days for the three surrounding provinces to send a total of 20,000 people.

The emperor went to the garrison outside the city in person with a helpless look on his face, hoping to encourage these soldiers and let them fight to the death.

result.

[The statistics are 20,000, but the actual number is 13,000]

[30% of people have no weapons, 60% of people are undergoing training]

[The general drank too much last night and couldn't wake up, so he couldn't see His Majesty]

Coming out of the barracks.

The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma on the spot.

Wait until you return to the palace.

The emperor drank several large bowls of medicine, barely summoned up his spirit, and called the general who led the troops to come and reprimand him.

The general also knew that he was doomed.

Faced with the emperor's rebuke, the general, still drunk, spoke directly.

"Little Emperor, if you don't allocate funds, how can I support so many soldiers? You are so stingy that you only give me 10,000 taels per month to maintain an army of 20,000 people."

"I won't sell military supplies, food and horses, what else can I do!"

"Among the six thousand men I brought, more than half are freshly captured men! But even so, the ones I brought are the most capable fighters among your group of soldiers!"

"To tell you the truth."

"Last year, I started looking for someone to sell the food and military horses to General Chen! Not only me, but others are selling them too, even your Imperial Horse Administration is selling them!"

"Logically speaking, let alone soldiers, even your horses are paid for by others!"

"I drank because I thought if you dared to let me lead the troops forward, I would dare to surrender directly!"

"Who cares if this little emperor lives or dies!"

"Come on, chop me up, you are also a tyrant who deserves it!"

The generals shouted wildly in front of the palace, causing the emperor to sit motionless on the throne.

After scolding for a quarter of an hour, the general's mouth became numb.

The eunuch next to him then carefully moved forward and observed the emperor.

half an hour.

The shrill voice pierced through the walls of the palace.

[His Majesty has passed away!!!]

....................................

A few days passed.

in the military camp.

Fang Xing was holding a piece of new news and frowned as he read it.

The emperor died before we even entered the imperial city! ?

Or was he scolded to death by the generals who wanted to surrender to him?!

Then...can this be considered death in my own hands?

Along with the news of the emperor's death, the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince both claimed to have received an imperial decree to pass the throne to their [Sixth Brother/Eighth Brother].

In the imperial city, the Ninth Prince, who had declared himself the successor, began to sue the world, claiming that he was the one chosen by his brother the Emperor to succeed him.

When one emperor dies, three emperors emerge.

They all claimed to be the legitimate successors.

These waves of news have left people all over the world scratching their heads.

Especially the generals and officials from all over the country who are still resisting the two kings.

All three parties said they had imperial edicts in their hands, so whose orders should they listen to?

Do you still want to resist? !

Fang Xing said, who cares about those things.

We have to fight anyway!

Instead of thinking about these things, why not try out a few more cities today!

Now Fang Xing and General Chen are splitting their troops into two groups, one going straight to the Imperial City, and the other heading south to confront the Eighth Prince.

March and fight.

It was originally a comprehensive test of the generals' combat experience, logistical supplies, command ability, etc.

The right time, place, people, soldiers, food, money and roads, any one of which missing may lead to a defeat.

But Fang Xing doesn't care about this when fighting.

Extraordinary martial power is not restricted by any unnecessary conditions.

The only thing that would delay progress is whether the troops behind could catch up in time.

It doesn't take many, three hundred men who can ignore swords and have a strength of a thousand pounds lined up and rushed into the enemy camp.

The scene was like three hundred Xiang Yus charging in!

If the enemy can hold out for a stick of incense without being defeated, they can be considered an elite force.

One month's time.

Fang Xing and General Chen have already occupied five provinces.

It is only a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

The Eighth Prince was forced to fight and head south.

Originally, the Eighth Prince started his army in Dongshan, but now he is in Sujiang competing with Chu Junxu for territory.

Chu Junxu is going crazy!

We are all rebels. Instead of defending your own territory and resisting, you come south to rob me! ?

Are you sick?

The Eighth Prince was also upset.

If the soldiers under my command could have held off the enemy, I would not have thrown away all my wealth!

The Eighth Prince, who had been to the battlefield, had personally experienced what it meant to be defeated at the first touch.

It is said that General Chen could fight ten men at once and once saved the emperor during a rebel siege.

Demonstrated a force that was completely different from the rumors!

Logically speaking, a commander should command the army and not just act on impulse.

General Chen didn't seem to care about this.

Leading a small force of 500 men, they charged into the battle line waving large flags.

The Eighth Prince even laughed at this and said this was seeking death.

That smile.

It melts faster than lard in a hot pan!

In other words, the Eighth Prince has a horse that can run a thousand miles a day, and it runs so fast!

He almost lost his life in Dongshan!

After returning, the Eighth Prince gave the order directly.

[Go south to avoid their sharp edge! ]

[Rumor has it that there is another country south of Southern Xinjiang. Let's go there instead of hanging around here! ]
