Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 635 Goodbye Chen San
The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, had a look of worry in his eyes, and sighed: "It's still stable now, but after the spring of the new year, I'm afraid the world will be chaotic!"

Su Bai frowned, and asked, "Why did Big Brother say that? But what information do you have?"

Fifth Prince Zhao Yan slowly shook his head and said: "Where do we need any information! Now that the rebellion in the world has been wiped out, I will also recover my father. Of course, I must clean up these sons! On the side of the empress Shangguan, the second brother On the other side, the seventh brother will not let it go, as soon as the weather gets warmer and the roads clear, the great battle will begin!"

Su Bai's face changed slightly. What the fifth prince said made sense, and he also felt the same. The world was in chaos. He thought it was a very distant thing before. Even if he went to the south to go to the battlefield, he still felt that the Wu Dynasty was stable. But now that the princes are separatist, and everyone is gearing up, the turmoil caused will definitely spread to the entire Wu Dynasty!

No matter before or after the time travel, Su Bai lived in a peaceful country, and the war was far away from him. He didn't want the world to be in chaos within a few years after the time travel!
And even if he knew this, even if he knew that the world was going to be in chaos, he had no choice but to watch the war come.

The fifth prince Zhao Yan straightened his back, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Of course I can't fall behind. In the past half a year or so, I have recruited soldiers and bought horses, and I have your method of training soldiers, Brother Su. Now I have 12 elite troops. ! Don't look at the small number, but they are all elites with one against ten, and it is still unknown who will win the deer in the end!"

Su Bai raised his brows, the fifth prince actually has only 12 troops under his command, isn't that a little short?Not to mention the court, even the Shangguan family can muster an army of one million, but the fifth prince actually only has an army of one hundred thousand?
But he didn't know that the 12 troops mentioned by the fifth prince were all subordinates of his direct descendants, all of which belonged to his troops. If you really counted the garrison troops in the three northeastern states, there would be a lot of them. Not to mention millions of troops, there are still hundreds of thousands, but the loyalty of these troops cannot be guaranteed. They will only follow the victors, or whoever is stronger. Now they will surrender to the fifth prince. It is a last resort That's all.

If there is a better destination in the future, or if something is wrong on the battlefield, these soldiers will never fight to the death and never retreat. The best surrender is them!Of course, most of the millions of troops that Shangguan's family created were like this, so although they were large in number, their real combat power was limited, and it was almost as good as suppressing local rebellions!
The fifth prince suddenly sighed again: "This big war together, I'm afraid it will suffer the people of this world!"

When a war occurs, the people will inevitably be displaced. The so-called people are in dire straits. This is what Su Bai has never seen before. It is also the reason why he feels that war is far away from him. scene!

Of course, this is not a foreign invasion, it can only be regarded as a civil war, so apart from some unavoidable damage, no matter who occupies which area, at least the local people will not be massacred, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.

As for the general soldiers robbing food when there is a shortage of military rations, and forced conscripts when the supply of troops is insufficient, I am afraid that it is unavoidable. This is also what the fifth prince Zhao Yan will worry about. Do this kind of thing.

Su Bai was also very pleased that the Fifth Prince could think this way, after all, he didn't want the person he helped to be a tyrant, an emperor who didn't treat the common people as human beings!

The two chatted a lot, most of them were about the situation in the world, the fifth prince was talking, and Su Bai was listening, which also gave him a better understanding of the current situation.

After two more days like this, it finally arrived at New Year's Eve. The city of Changbai was very lively, with lanterns and festoons everywhere. The Fifth Prince hosted a banquet on the upper floor of the city gate, inviting celebrities in the city, the head of the "Batianmen" Meng Jingyun They were also invited, and there were even representatives of the common people, so they could be regarded as having fun with the people.

In such a happy atmosphere, there is no sense that a big war is about to start.

After the new year, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court’s imperial decree arrived. Although the emperor Zhao Wuji’s words were not too violent, he only said that the fifth prince had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and asked him to return to Beijing to receive the reward, but the fifth prince did not agree. There are still unsettled things in the land, which cannot be separated from the body.

This is of course just an excuse, and the fifth prince also understands that if he goes to Beijing this time, he may never be able to leave!As a result, just after he declined, the eunuch came up with another imperial decree, this time Zhao Wuji's words were too fierce, saying that if the fifth prince did not return to the capital, he would be disobeying the emperor's order and he would kill him without mercy!

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, looked ugly, and he coaxed the eunuch away. This is already very obvious. If the fifth prince obediently returns to the capital, there will be no such thing as the imperial decree. If the fifth prince refuses, then take it out The second imperial decree, this is courtesy first and soldiers second!
Regardless of whether it is to salute first and then soldiers, or to fight first and then salute, the fifth prince's answer is very clear, that is, he must never return to Shangjing!He was already ready to fight!
This is the work of the past few days. Almost the imperial edicts have also reached the hands of the Seventh Prince, Second Prince, and Empress Shangguan, with similar meanings. Of course, the answers they got are also very clear, and no one will go back!

After learning about this situation, the fifth prince was a little curious. Who would he attack first as his father?Logically speaking, Shangjing is the closest to Huizhou, and the Seventh Prince is most likely to be taken down. Last time, the Seventh Prince was almost taken down. It was only because of a sudden accident in Shangjing that he returned to the court. This time, Zhao Wuji obviously did it. After making full preparations, it is natural to have a complete shame!
This idea is not only shared by the Fifth Prince, but also by other people, even the Seventh Prince himself, but after a period of development, he is not what he was when he first arrived in Huizhou. He is now considered a strong soldier, and even Suzhou and Zhejiang in the south are about to occupy, and his power has grown several times!So he is not afraid of the upcoming battle!
What everyone didn't expect was that Zhao Wuji did attack the Seventh Prince, but at the same time he also ordered Old General Ji in the south to continue fighting against the Second Prince!This is planning to fight on two fronts!Is Zao Wou-ki too conceited?
You must know that ever since the second prince established himself in the south, the court has ended in failure in dealing with these princes. This time Zhao Wuji dared to make such a big deal, asking the two princes to deal with them together, isn't he afraid of himself? Never come back?

Every time, this time Zao Wou-ki is not only fighting on two fronts, but also a personal conquest!Launched the crusade against the Seventh Prince just like last time.

Of course, in terms of the overall strength of the imperial court, it is of course far above all the princes, but now it is impossible to guarantee who the armies of various places belong to. Zao Wou-ki's unexpected decision also made some Those who have other thoughts, don't dare to act rashly for the time being, and plan to take a look first before talking.

This includes the Queen Shangguan in the west, the fifth prince in the northeast, and even the second prince in the south. Of course, the second prince also needs to face the attack of Old General Ji now, so he can't take care of himself.

Just when Zhao Wuji led the army to leave Beijing and go straight to Huizhou, the fifth prince also welcomed an unexpected guest—the butler of Wanyan's family, Chen San!
After the fifth prince got the news, his expression suddenly became serious. He has not let go of his investigation of Wanyan's family, and he has not gained much. But he understands that Wanyan's family will not just stay silent like this. Since the other party If you show up, you will definitely show up again!Now he finally waited for the other party's arrival again!

During the meeting with Chen San, Su Bai was also present, he was found by the Fifth Prince, let's listen to what the housekeeper had to say.

After the meeting, the Fifth Prince certainly didn't have a good face, but Chen San didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Fifth Prince, have you thought about what I said last time?"

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, gave him a sideways glance, and said with a sneer, "Chen Steward, if you really have the intention of cooperating, then please invite the head of the Wanyan family to meet me in person, otherwise nothing will be discussed! I am very busy now, if there is nothing else matter, then I will not accompany you!"

Chen San's face changed slightly. He didn't expect the fifth prince to be so tough this time. Last time he saw that the fifth prince was very dissatisfied, but he kept forbearing. He never thought that when they met this time, they would drive away if there was a disagreement. he goes!
Chen San quickly waved his hands, and said seriously: "Your Highness, please slow down! To be honest, my Patriarch did not intend to neglect His Highness, but it is really difficult to come here now, but we are very sincere about cooperating with His Highness!"

The reason why the fifth prince is so tough is of course because of his own strength, only when his fists are hardened, he doesn't have to look at other people's faces to act!

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan raised his brows and said lightly, "Since Patriarch Wanyan can't come, is there no one else in Wanyan's family? Sincerity? Why didn't I see it at all?"

The meaning of this is obvious, it means that you, Chen San, are not qualified!

Chen San's face changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal, and then said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness is really joking, if you really want to talk about cooperation matters, it is naturally inappropriate for a younger one to come forward. In fact, this younger one is here for His Highness. You give something to show your sincerity."

Su Bai held back a smile beside him, Chen San's attitude changed really quickly!Before, I was neither humble nor overbearing, and I took one bite at a time, but now I just call myself a petty one!Sure enough, some people are cheap, if you treat him better, he will put his nose in the face, the tougher you are, the more respectful he will be!
The fifth prince's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Things? Let's take a look first!"
