Jing Zhan felt uneasy.

"Does Prince Shen really dare to rebel?"

why?

Everything was beyond his expectations. For a position, were brothers really forced to fight against each other and kill their father and brother?

"Why not? This matter was caused by him, and caused my father to fall into such a big trouble.

Once my father wakes up, I will want to kill him.

We can see this, and they can see it too.

Rather than letting Your Majesty punish them, or clearing them out after I take the throne, it is inevitable that they will jump off the wall in desperation, and they must fight to the death, because they will die anyway."

Cang Min said this coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"I agree with your highness. We must be prepared to respond."

Xia Yihai said firmly.

"My mother sent a message saying that His Majesty has woken up twice today. When he wakes up again, I will have him issue an imperial edict to pass on the throne. This way, we can mobilize more troops with justification."

Cang Min thought about the troops in Cang Yu's hands and couldn't help but feel envious.

Pity.

He cannot ask for it openly now, so he uses it for his own purposes.

"It is estimated that we will not be able to wait for the edict of succession. King Shen will not wait until then. Now it depends on who has more troops and who will be able to achieve the final victory."

Xia Yihai analyzed the situation.

"How is our troop deployment going?"

"The defense camp has more than 30,000 soldiers, which can compete with Xibohou Mansion, but if we want to stabilize the situation after seizing power, we need more troops to deter. Now there are 200,000 soldiers stationed in the north, west and south borders, but not many can be deployed.

War reports have come in from the western border. Xiling has been making continuous moves in recent days, deploying 200,000 troops on the western frontier. Our troops cannot be withdrawn.

The regent of Nanqi is a warmongerer. If we withdraw our troops, he will immediately jump out. Then we will be trapped both internally and externally, and even if we seize the throne, we will not be able to keep it. "

Xia Yihai reported the news he had received recently.

"The only troops that can be mobilized now are from the North?"

Cang Min frowned. Why did they all start at this moment?

Especially Xiling, didn’t they already sign a peace treaty with them?

How long has it been and why?

However, he had no time to think about the external situation, as it was important to resolve the internal unrest first.

"Bei Yan has been developing its own power in recent years. The border between the two sides has been stable for more than ten years. It is currently the safest side."

Xia Yihai reports.

“How many troops can be withdrawn?”

"I think it is enough to withdraw 100,000 troops first. The defense camp is now divided into three forces, and Xibo Hou does not have much control. The key to this battle depends on King Sheng's attitude."

"Prince Sheng and Baili Qianyou have a close relationship. I guess his support was behind yesterday's move."

"That will be difficult. If Prince Sheng and Prince Shen join forces, we will be under great pressure."

Xia Yihai was a little worried.

"The Union will not."

Cang Min said firmly.

Two figures overlapped and appeared before his eyes, and he felt a little annoyed.

“If he doesn’t support Prince Shen, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

He is in charge of the defense camp, and most of the troops still belong to Your Majesty. This time we are attacking the remnants of the Xibohou forces, which does not conflict with him.

After settling accounts with King Shen, the 100,000 troops in the north were enough to intimidate King Sheng.

If he surrenders, he can be spared.

If he refuses to obey, you can kill him again.

His main forces are in the west, and the west cannot reinforce Kyoto now, so he is out of reach."

Xia Yihai analyzed the pros and cons and the situation, waiting for King Ning to make arrangements.

"Okay! Arrange it right away. I think King Shen can't wait any longer."

......

Prince Sheng's Palace.

"Your Highness, intelligence has come in from all sides that there are signs of troop movements in the northern border, about 100,000 troops, and it is estimated that they will be outside Kyoto in ten days."

Gu Feng collected information from all over the place and reported it to Cangyu.

"Are our troops ready?"

Cangyu did not take his eyes off the map.

"Yunzhou's 30,000 soldiers are ready to go, and the prefect, Su Bingde, is ready to take orders at any time.

Previously, 30,000 troops were mobilized from the western border. Now that they have been assembled, Han Zheng has taken over and is advancing at the agreed speed. Once the war starts, his troops will be able to reach the capital in less than a day. "

"Don't move the troops in Yunzhou for now. Notify the Western Territory to send another 50,000 troops for support. Keep an eye on the progress of the 100,000 troops in the Northern Territory, and attack them from the front and back with the Yunzhou garrison to trap them outside Yunzhou and prevent them from coming to Kyoto."

Cangyu pointed at the location of Yunzhou and made arrangements.

"Okay, I will send the order and make arrangements immediately."

“The preparations for the protection camp are in place. We have secretly deployed the forces of the three camps of the former Xibohou Mansion, and their people are all clear about what they have to do.

Your Majesty's trusted confidant, Commander Hu Quan, has now made his position clear.

He was appreciated by Baili Xian and they fought together on the battlefield for many years.

The exposure of the Dongbohou Mansion incident dealt him a heavy blow, and he finally agreed to follow our arrangements."

Xiuzhu reported the information that Li Hu and his team received from the protection camp.

"Okay, I judge that King Shen will rebel tomorrow at the latest. We must be prepared at all times."

"Yes!"

The ancient bamboos responded in unison and went about their business.

The third day arrived as expected amid people's expectations.

Heavy snow fell from the sky.

This late spring cold weather is a bit weird!

Every household in Kyoto closed its doors, and there were only a few businesses open on the streets.

The streets were peaceful, so peaceful that it was a little scary.

There were constant cries in the Dali Temple prison.

Has the day of the guillotine finally come?

The dim candlelight flickered.

After three days without day or night, the people in the prison were exhausted to the extreme, and the sound of wailing was heard everywhere.

Yun Xuanzhi's posture remained almost unchanged.

He sat hunched over on a thin wooden board, thinking, from beginning to end, everything, thinking seriously.

When did such an incident happen?

What makes today's situation so embarrassing?

He is a man with an extremely sharp mind, and he may be able to plan everything out. Few people in Dongcang have his forbearance and scheming, except his teacher, Song Renan.

He could have stayed out of the right and wrong in the Song family.

In the matter of plotting against the generals at the border and cutting off the arm of his own country, he was able to distinguish right from wrong and would not blindly follow the request of his mentor.

When did he come up with such an idea?

It was that fleeting glimpse.

At that glance, the woman in the fluttering white clothes, with her otherworldly fairy-like appearance, caught his eyes and entered his heart.

When Song Ren'an approached him for collusion, he wavered.

He couldn't stop being jealous, couldn't stop longing, and couldn't stop fantasizing.

He can have all of this.

So, he chose to betray his best friend, his classmate who was equally good at everything.
