Battle of the Other Worlds: Summon the Traveler Wu Song at the Beginning

The old man was very happy, but the old man was very happy.

Luzhou, Qixing City, Lu Wang Mansion.

The elegant and tall Lu Wang, wearing a python robe, stood in the backyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky.

"Your Highness, the letter should have been sent to Tingjing. We are not helping each other now. If Tingjing wins or loses, I am afraid they will complain about us."

After a moment of silence, Chen Su slowly said, "The situation in Tingjing is not clear yet. They are wary of each other and are keeping their troops in place. We should at least wait until they decide who is better before we decide our direction."

"But adding icing on the cake is far less than sending timely help."

"Let's leave it like this for now. You go and make arrangements. All 150,000 Dongfu troops are ready for battle. The Qingzhou Corps is close to the border of Luzhou and keeps an eye on the movements of Tingjing City at any time."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At the same time, in a remote courtyard in the Prince of Lu's Mansion, the eunuch chief steward Wang En, dressed in an inconspicuous coarse cloth, walked into the main house with a huge food box.

Inside the house, a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, held an ancient book in his hand but had no intention of reading it, with a sad face.

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day. Come and have your meal."

This young man is the Ninth Prince Chen Yunxiu who disappeared in Tingjing City. After more than a month, he and Wang En appeared in the Prince of Lu's Mansion thousands of miles away. The reason is unknown.

Chen Yunxiu slowly stood up, with a straight figure and a bookish air unique to scholars.

"Eunuch Wang, why do you think my eldest brother attacked his own brothers and put them under house arrest in the palace? Can he ignore family affection for the throne?"

Wang En pondered and said, "Since ancient times, the royal family has been the most ruthless. Who doesn't want to ascend to the throne of the emperor? The eldest prince has the support of the Grand Master and is the eldest son. It is reasonable for him to covet the throne."

"My father asked you to bring me to see my uncle. There must be a deep meaning in it. Could it be that he wants me to inherit the throne?"

Wang En was silent.

"If the price of the throne is to let me personally send my brothers to the guillotine, I don't want the throne."

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. The country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor wants you to succeed to the throne. This is such a favor and trust. Your Highness must shoulder the burden for me, Beiting."

In the night, Chen Yunxiu sighed softly: "Eunuch Wang, please leave. I'm a little tired. Leave the food here. I will eat it when I'm hungry."

Wang En was slightly startled, then turned and left the room and closed the door.

"Xiu'er has guessed the emperor's intention, right? This child has been very smart since childhood, but he doesn't fight for anything. I didn't expect that the emperor's final choice would be the ninth prince who is least likely to inherit the throne."

Wang En nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince can't accept the fact that his brothers are killing each other for a while, but now the other princes have the support of the forces behind them, and there is no turning back."

"Xiu'er is young after all. Give him some time, and he will understand the good intentions of his brother."

"Your Highness, the capital has not moved yet, and we can't delay for too long. As long as they are determined to investigate, they will find out that the Ninth Prince is in Luzhou sooner or later. At that time, the emperor's intentions can't be hidden."

"Don't worry, we have made our attitude clear. If we don't support either side, they will definitely go to war!"

Outside Tingjing City, Liuyun Mountain, Chen Yunque's camp

Cheng Yu, You Hong and others gathered in the tent. Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Now, several days have passed, and there is still no movement in Tingjing City. It seems that the decisive battle is far away."

Chen Yunque chuckled and said, "They are waiting for the attitude of the emperor's uncle. Luzhou has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is a force that cannot be ignored. Before confirming the attitude and position of the emperor's uncle, no one dares to start a war easily."

You Hong hesitated and said, "If that's the case, why did His Highness organize us to send people to contact King Lu to win his support?"

Chen Yunque took a sip of the wine and slowly said, "Father and The relationship between the emperor's uncles is very deep, and the emperor's uncle will definitely support my father's decision. In my opinion, the emperor's uncle will either follow the rule of the eldest son's succession and support my eldest brother, or he will determine his position according to the secret decree left by my father. I have no hope of winning him over. Instead of spending a lot of energy to win over the emperor's uncle, it is better to target elsewhere. "

"But although our major clans are not short of food, grass and money, they have been constrained by the royal family in recent years. The number and quality of our troops are far inferior to the regular army of the court. If there is no sufficient military support, it will be difficult to succeed."

The 100,000 troops that Chen Yunque secretly mobilized this time were actually the accumulation of many years. Five years ago, Chen Yunque secretly divided the troops raised by the major families into merchant guards, which were spread all over the vicinity of Tingjing. When they put down their weapons, they became merchant guards. When they took up weapons and armor, they immediately transformed into private armies that could be used as easily as arms.

This is why Chen Yunque was able to quietly gather 100,000 troops without the eldest and third princes noticing.

Among the nine princes, Chen Yunque was the most thoughtful. He had been planning this game for an unknown period of time.

"Elsewhere? The most prestigious person in the Beiting army is Qian Zhen, and the only one who can compete with him is the powerful King Lu. What other choice is there?"

Chen Yunque smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that there is an invincible army in the northwest, the Qin Army!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, do you want to get the support of the Qin Army? This is not appropriate. The Qin Army is a traitor. They have long been eyeing the world of Beiting. How could they rashly participate in the turmoil of the throne dispute and support Your Highness."

You Hong also echoed, "Cooperating with the Qin Army is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. The Qin Army is too powerful. Even if we agree to support Your Highness to succeed to the throne, we will not have any means of checks and balances in the future."

Chen Yunque shook his head and said, "You all don't see the current situation in Beiting clearly. No matter how high the eldest and third brothers jump, no matter how powerful they are, as long as the Qin Army goes out, it will surely sweep across the world and destroy everything."

"Cooperation with the Qin Army is the only way out."

"Since the Qin Army started, it has gathered hundreds of thousands of people to fight continuously. What do they rely on now? It's money and food. Even if the Qin Army has the God of Wealth Pavilion that makes a lot of money every day, it is still stretched to support nearly one million soldiers of the Qin Army. The nobles behind me have accumulated for generations, and the most abundant thing is money and food. So there is room for negotiation between us and the Qin Army."

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "The cooperation between the two parties is based on the situation of complete equality of strength. Our strength is far inferior to that of the Qin Army, and they may not look down on us. Even if we cooperate, as Brother You said, it is very likely to invite wolves into the house."

Chen Yunque said without hesitation, "Do we have any other choice now? Things are in the hands of people. The Qin Army started the war on the surface to establish a life for the people of the world, but in fact, isn't Li Yichen for his own power and wealth? As long as there are enough chips, it may not be impossible to win them over."
