Fortunate Young Gentleman

The stalemate between the eldest prince and the third prince continued. The third prince could not win over the tribes under Wanyan Yan, and seemed to have given up completely. He disbanded and reorganized dozens of tribes under his control, and had about 30,000 troops under his control.

The eldest prince controlled fewer troops than the third prince, but there were also about 30,000 troops.

The twenty tribes under Wanyan Yan's command only had about 10,000 people who could fight, and the combat power was quite different.

This was also one of the reasons why the eldest prince and the third prince temporarily left Wanyan Yan alone. Their biggest enemy was the other party. Once they won the key battle, it would be very easy to deal with Wanyan Yan's 10,000 people.

There were dozens of tribes of the Sushen people, some large and some small. The large ones were like Wanyan, Jiagu, Shuhu, etc., with more than 10,000 people, while the small tribes had only hundreds of people. The dozens of tribes added up to only more than 100,000 people, and the men who could fight were only more than 70,000.

But we can't underestimate these 70,000 people. The Sushen people are famous for their ability to fight. 70,000 Sushen cavalry can easily defeat the Han army that is several times larger than them on the grassland.

The Sushen people used to be the nightmare of the Han people, which is why they are so confident. They have a lot to bear in their shoulders, as they defeated the Chen army with 10,000 people and hundreds of thousands of people.

Tang Ning calculated that no matter who would laugh last, the eldest prince or the third prince, Wanyan Yan would have to face at least 50,000 troops in the end.

These 50,000 people could never be resisted by the 10,000 people in her hands, but by that time, their reinforcements should have arrived.

Tang Ning did not want the soldiers of the Chen Kingdom to face the 50,000 troops of the Sushen people. After all, his initial idea was to replace them peacefully. He did not expect that the third prince would kill his father and usurp the throne, which completely messed up his plan.

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at a servant in the tent, and said, "Let Aina come over."

After a while, Aina came in, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "The eldest prince once planted an undercover in the Wuyan tribe. Do he and the third prince have your people?"

Aina looked at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes."

As long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. The third prince can dig them, and they can also dig them in turn.

After all, with Wanyan Yan, there is no worry about food and drink. With the eldest prince and the third prince, not only do you not have enough to eat, but you also have to endure their exploitation. Anyone with ideals knows how to choose.

It's like working for two bosses, one requires 996, and you have to go back to the company to work overtime on Sundays without overtime pay, and the other only needs to work eight hours a day, and the salary and benefits are rich. You can tell which one is better at a glance.

Of course, Wanyan Yan's overall strength is not as good as the other two, and those tribes may have some concerns, but if these news spread, even if they can't have any substantial effect, they can cause some psychological panic.

After listening to his words, Aina nodded and said, "I'll arrange it now."

...

Zhide tribe.

Zhide tribe is a tribe under the command of the eldest prince. The tribe is not big, but not very small. There are about 2,000 people in the tribe, and they have been under the command of the eldest prince for several years.

In these years, the eldest prince took away a lot of good things from the tribe. The life of the Zhide tribe is not very good, but they can barely get by.

Originally thought that after the eldest prince became Khan, this situation would improve. After all, they had been with the eldest prince for a long time, and they might get some preferential treatment.

But who would have thought that the third prince killed the Khan and sat on that position himself. In order to compete with the third prince for the throne, the eldest prince forcibly requisitioned most of the food in the tribe, and even the able-bodied men in the tribe were taken away by them. The remaining old and weak also lived a life of eating one meal and not the next.

The situation of the Sushen tribes was not very good. Heiman wanted to drive them out of the grassland, Chen Chu refused to let them go outside the border, and now there was constant infighting within the Wanyan tribe. Many tribes, including the Zhide tribe, could no longer see the hope of the tribe's continuation.

In the past two days, there was also chaos within the Zhide tribe, and some different voices appeared.

Some people thought that they should vote for the third prince. After all, the third prince was powerful and held the order. He was the real Khan. Following the eldest prince, the life of the tribe would only become more difficult.

Others opposed this approach. They believed that there was no essential difference between the third prince and the eldest prince. Even if they voted for the third prince, their lives would not necessarily be better than now.

What's more, the third prince killed his father and usurped the throne. He was an emotionless and cold-blooded person. He didn't even care about the old Khan's kindness in raising him, so how could he care about the life and death of their Zhide tribe?

Just when these two different voices were deadlocked, another voice quietly spread among the tribe.

In addition to the eldest prince and the third prince, they have a different choice.

The fourth princess.

The tribes under the fourth princess have always been the envy of other tribes. They have suffered a lot under the eldest prince and the third prince. Those tribes have no worries about food and clothing under the fourth princess. Other tribes live like people, but they live like dogs. I don’t know how many people sighed secretly, why they were not assigned to the fourth princess.

According to reliable sources, it is not too late to go to the fourth princess now. As long as you join the fourth princess, each household will have a quota of ten kilograms of rice per month. The strong men who join the fourth princess’s guards will not have to worry about food and drink. Compared with being under the fourth princess, being under the eldest prince and the third prince is really worse than being a beggar.

The only thing that made them worried was that the Fourth Princess had few tribes under her command, and her strength was far inferior to that of the First Prince and the Third Prince. Once the First Prince and the Third Prince decided the winner, the Fourth Princess would not have many good days.

It was for this reason that they suppressed their throbbing in their hearts and did not respond to the Fourth Princess's recruitment.

Although the third voice did not cause much discussion in the Zhide Department, one morning, everyone still found that more than a dozen tents were missing in the department.

According to people familiar with them, these people went to join the Fourth Princess.

After the First Prince took away their food and cattle and sheep as wartime preparations, the remaining food was exhausted and it was difficult to make a living. Joining the Fourth Princess, they might be able to live a little longer. If they stayed in the department, they would starve to death immediately. They had no choice.

The empty space left after the disappearance of these tents obviously stimulated many people. On the grassland of the Zhide Department, tents began to disappear at a rate of ten or dozens per day.

After all, although they still had surplus food in their hands, they would eventually run out. Now it was a matter of life and death, and it was impossible to think about the future.

The eldest prince has been in a panic these days. He discusses with his confidants how to fight the third prince every day, and has no time to take care of some trivial matters.

When he received the news, the Zhide tribe, which had more than 2,000 people, was left with only a grassland, and the people were gone.

The eldest prince's eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily: "What, the Zhide tribe defected to the fourth princess!"

"Don't be angry, eldest prince." A person next to him said: "One Zhide tribe is harmless. As far as I know, there are also two tribes with nearly 2,000 people on the third prince's side..."

The eldest prince said with a gloomy face: "Restrict the tribes under your command. If anyone dares to defect again, he will be killed without mercy!"

The man nodded and said: "On the third prince's side, the Hesheli and Wendihen tribes are ready to defect to us. The Khan has done them a favor, and they cannot accept the fact that the third prince killed his father and usurped the throne..."
