The battle was over, and the battle was over.
Chen Yunque and his party rested in Yuquan City for seven days. After Li Siye and the Tianxiong Corps returned from Xiazhou, the army brought food and supplies and rushed to Tianjian Pass on the border of Fengzhou.
Neither the eldest prince Chen Yunfeng nor the third prince Chen Yunxuan expected that Chen Yunque would secretly go to Mozhou at this critical moment and obtain the full support of the Qin army.
Qian Zhen began to mobilize troops after arriving in Yuanzhou. In less than a month, he mobilized another 400,000 troops, including garrison troops from Yuanzhou, Fengzhou, and other states.
Even so, Qian Zhen still had a trump card in his hand. There were countless senior commanders in the Zhenbei Army and the Pingnan Army who were all Qian Zhen's direct subordinates. As long as Qian Zhen gave an order, the two elite border armies would also wait for the opportunity to move and directly take Tingjing.
Qian Zhen led 400,000 troops all the way to Tingzhou, and surrounded Tingjing City.
The pressure came to Chen Yunfeng again. After a great battle, the Rising Sun Legion he instigated suffered more than 30% loss, leaving less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the two major guards only had 120,000 to 130,000 soldiers and horses.
Facing Qian Zhen's 400,000 soldiers and horses from various states with an army of 200,000, Chen Yunfeng felt a little uneasy.
"Your Highness, these 400,000 garrison troops in various states are just second-line troops. They are not very powerful. We are on the defensive. As long as we hold on to Tingjing City, it will be a pipe dream for Qian Zhen's troops to break through the city."
Chen Yunfeng shook his head and said, "These 400,000 second-line troops are not worth mentioning, but Qian Zhen still has 100,000 Zhenbei Army and Pingnan Army. These are elite soldiers who have fought in the battlefield. Once Qian Zhen mobilizes them, Tingjing City will probably be difficult to defend."
"Report! Your Highness, the Zhenbei Army has received news that Qian Zhen has... Zhen personally sent a message that 100,000 elite Zhenbei troops will soon march south and attack Tingjing City! "
Chen Yunfeng was shocked and slowly said to Cai Yong: "Notify King Qing that the trump card he left in the Zhenbei Army can be used."
Outside Tingjing City, in Qian Zhen's army camp, Han Tao, the governor of Yuanzhou, said respectfully to Qian Zhen: "Lord Sikong, we have mobilized a large number of troops from Fengzhou and Tianjian Pass here. What if the Qin army takes advantage of the situation to capture Tianjian Pass and trample on the Central Plains?"
Qian Zhen shook his head and said: "If I were Li Yi Chen, before the battle for the throne is decided, we will definitely not take the initiative to get involved in the battlefield. Once the Qin army makes a move, whether it is us or the eldest prince and the King of Lu, we will turn our guns and fight against the enemy together. "
The third prince Chen Yunxuan also hesitated and said: "Qian Sikong, we will transfer 100,000 Zhenbei troops. Once the Rouran Dynasty in the north makes any unusual moves, won't we become the eternal sinners of Beiting?"
Qian Zhen put his hands behind his back and said with a deep look: "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Now the only unstable factor is Luzhou's Prince Lu, according to my prediction, Prince Lu will definitely make some changes. There is an 80% chance that he will make it clear that he supports the eldest prince to succeed to the throne. It will take 20 days to mobilize the army from Luzhou to Tingjing. We must gather all our strength within these 20 days, not giving the eldest prince any breathing space, and make the world a place of dominance! "
Qian Zhen actually has another trump card in his hand. He has promised the two states of Huangzhou and Yanzhou in the north to the Rouran Dynasty. In exchange, the Rouran Dynasty will dispatch 200,000 cavalry to enter the pass at a critical moment to help Qian Zhen.
The struggle for the throne has reached a white-hot stage. At this time, there is no right or wrong, only the difference in position. Everyone has no way out. If Qian Zhen fails, he will face an abyss of no return.
The generals present nodded in agreement with Qian Zhen's arrangement. If it is delayed too long, the situation will become confusing once the army of Prince Lu arrives. Even if they can win, it will be a miserable victory. Don't forget that the Qin army is eyeing the three states in the northwest.
In the northernmost part of Beiting, Huangzhou, there are only 120,000 Zhenbei troops stationed in the Great Wilderness Pass. After receiving Qian Zhen's order, Ai Yong, the supreme commander of the Zhenbei Army, personally prepared the troops and horses, leaving only 20,000 people to guard the pass, and the rest of the elite troops were ready to be deployed to the battlefield of Tingjing.
In the Great Wilderness Pass, General Po Lu's Mansion, a middle-aged man in his forties with a resolute face paced back and forth in the study, his face was uncertain.
"General Nan! Marshal Ai Yong has issued an order that 100,000 Zhenbei troops will go directly south to Tingjing City."
A lieutenant in armor hurriedly walked into the study and spoke to General Po Lu Nan Yan.
Nan Yan kicked over the desk not far away with an angry kick, and said with red eyes: "The Great Wilderness Pass
The city is related to the lives of millions of people in the three states in the northern border of Beiting. Ai Yong, in order to flatter Qian Zhen, disregarded the safety of the people and participated in the fight for the throne for his own selfish desires. He is unworthy of being the commander of the Zhenbei Army! "
As one of the three deputy commanders of the Zhenbei Army, Nan Yan also has 30,000 elite troops under his command. Nan Yan is extremely opposed to Ai Yong's decision, but he is a higher-ranking official and cannot be defeated.
Lieutenant Liu Ren is one of Nan Yan's absolute confidants. Looking at Nan Yan with an angry face, he tentatively said: "General, didn't King Qing ask us to help intercept Ai Yong? Since they have already turned against each other, we will drag them to death in Huangzhou and let Ai Yong's plan fail. "
Nan Yan shook his head and said: "Ai Yong is deeply involved with Qian Zhen. Obviously, he has made up his mind to help Qian Zhen take over Tingjing. Even if we turn against Ai Yong now, it will be difficult to stop him, and once a military conflict occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Liu Ren hesitated and said, "Our spies in the Rouran Dynasty sent back a message saying that Qian Zhen and Ai Yong deliberately transferred the Zhenbei Army and divided Huangzhou and Yanzhou to Rouran. When necessary, Rouran will send a large army to enter the pass to assist Qian Zhen."
Nan Yan just stared at Liu Ren and said, "Is the news accurate?"
"This chess piece has been buried in Rouran for seven years and has gained the trust of Rouran nobles Hulu. The news sent back should be correct."
Nan Yan clenched his fists and trembled all over: "Damn it, Qian Zhen, doesn't he know how much killing Rouran causes every time it invades Beiting? The people of the three states in the northern border are already enemies with Rouran! Qian Zhen's move is no different from a traitor!"
"Pass my order down, let our 30,000 soldiers gather, even if we die in this Dahuang City today, we can't let Ai Yong and others leave! "
"Send a message to Chen Qing. I stopped them not for the sake of the eldest prince, but for the sake of the millions of people in the three states of the northern border! Since Qian Zhenai has bravely made such a humiliating move, I will not let them get their wish even if I risk my life!"
Soon, Ai Yong, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, who had assembled the troops, discovered something unusual. General Nan Yan and his 30,000 troops did not gather in the parade ground as ordered. The 30,000 troops seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"This Nan Yan is trying to deceive me again. When the situation in Beiting stabilizes, I will skin him alive!"
Ai Yong knew that Nan Yan did not agree with the Zhenbei Army's southward march, but to his surprise, Nan Yan dared to openly disobey orders and did not gather in the parade ground.
