Chapter 445: Changes in the situation

"My thought!" Huang Yuanwu's eyes condensed. At this moment, in the big tent, all the generals were looking at the letters in the hands of the commander, and their eyes were still intent.

The messenger took the order and immediately opened the letter in his hand and chanted loudly: "The little prince Yuanwu, the emperor of the Dong Palace, personally opened the imperial capital after many years, and never met again. When he came in, he heard that the little prince Yuanwu led his army to the capital, he was very happy and specially invited the little prince to the city to speak out to express his friendship with the landlord. The emperor of the Northern Palace was the first to respect him."

The messenger's voice stopped, and after hearing the contents of the letter, the entire tent was filled with silence.

All the generals frowned and looked angry.

What the letter said in the letter seemed to be asking Emperor Yuanwu to attend the banquet, but in fact it was similar to going to die. The friendship between landlords was simply nonsense.

After hearing this, Huang Yuanwu was not angry. He took the letter and read it again, then waved his hand and asked the messenger to go down. He grabbed the letter in his hand and walked back to his seat.

"Little Prince! The Northern King is too bullying. The last general is willing to ask 5,000 soldiers to leave the city immediately and take down Emperor Zhengchu!" A general was obviously furious. As soon as Huang Yuanwu sat down, he immediately asked for a fight.

"The last time, there will be no five thousand people, and there will be three thousand. I will let the King of Northern will suffer the consequences!"

Afterwards, several generals asked for orders to go to war. For a moment, the tent started to turmoil. Many generals were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could rush up now and tear the Northern King Zhengchu to pieces.

"Quiet." Huang Yuanwu's voice was a little low, but it was clearly heard into everyone's ears. Hearing Huang Yuanwu's words, the tent immediately became quiet. Everyone turned their eyes to Huang Yuanwu, but their faces were not good-looking.

The coach of his own is so humiliating, and the coach is not someone else, but the young prince Huang Yuanwu, the actual ruler of the East Prince Mansion. The letter of the Northern King was arrogant and did not take the Eastern Prince Mansion seriously. All the generals present were all military generals, and no one could withstand such humiliation.

"Look at you, you are all generals of war. When you encounter such a little thing, you get angry and angry. What does it look like?" Huang Yuanwu sat in his seat, not angry and powerful. His voice was low. Anyone knew that he must be in a bad mood now.

Huang Yuanwu was in a bad mood, especially when he received such a letter. This letter conveyed two news. First, Huang Zhengchu probably had known about Huang Yuanwu's entry into the imperial capital, but he did not send troops to stop him. Moreover, the seven passes before were not blocked. It can be said that the road was unobstructed. This is enough to prove that Huang Yuanwu's guess is correct. Northern King Emperor Zhengchu must have reached some kind of agreement with Yang Qin, and this agreement must be aimed at the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

Secondly, the Northern King clearly wrote in his letter about the friendship of landlords. This shows that at least in the imperial capital, he had already acquiesced to the fact that Huang Zhengchu occupied the other two cities of the imperial capital, and now no provincial garrison has taken action. It can be seen that the Emperor King did not issue the order of the Northern King to rebel the party. After Huang Zhengchu occupied the imperial capital and took the Eastern Palace, the next step was to ascend the throne. This can be seen by anyone.

Huang Yuanwu was a little confused. Yang Qin should be very clear. If Emperor Zheng had just ascended the throne, he would probably be the first person to deal with him. But he did not have any counterattack now. He did not see any action except supporting a puppet emperor. Could it be that Yang Qin's purpose of rebellion was to simply kill the emperor of the empire? If he wanted to do this and had no other intentions, why should he support the new emperor ascend the throne later?

Thinking of this, he looked down at the letter in his hand again, narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea appeared in his heart.

"Send the order, all the staff are on guard and notify my guards and prepare to enter the city with me." As soon as Huang Yuanwu said this, the audience was in an uproar.

"Little Prince!" Some generals couldn't help it immediately. He couldn't help but step forward and said, "This is obviously a trap. Little Prince cannot go, absolutely cannot go!"

"Yes! The little prince must not go. This is obviously the Hongmen Banquet. If you go there, you will not return. The emperor Zhengchu has no good intentions!"

"Little Prince, you ordered me to immediately lead the troops to take down the city of Emperor Zhengchu. You are the leader of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and you must not take risks alone!"

For a moment, all the generals disagreed with Huang Yuanwu's statement. Only two people remained silent. One was Ding Jiang and the other was Liu Yi standing beside Ding Jiang. He was not as indignant as other generals, but looked at Huang Yuanwu with a calm expression.

"Okay, who do you want me to listen to when you say this?" Huang Yuanwu frowned when he saw the generals present dissuading him, and said, "Say one by one!" Then, he saw Liu Yi standing beside Ding Jiang, and his expression moved, and said, "Liu Yi, tell me."

The voices of the generals calmed down, and they turned their eyes to Liu Yi who was beside him. Liu Yi looked solemn and held his fists and bowed slightly, and then said softly: "The last general thinks that the little prince can go."

"Liu Yi! What's your heart? This is obviously a trap. If the little prince goes there, how can he explain what he has to do?"

Before Huang Yuanwu could say anything, a general beside Liu Yi immediately started to curse. Then many generals around him spoke at the same time, reprimanding Liu Yi. Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yi calmly, and this person was still moving, allowing the other generals around him to scold him without saying a word.

"Stop the sound." The voices of many generals made Huang Yuanwu feel a little upset. He glared at the generals below, and his voice became louder. As soon as he said this, the lower part immediately returned to quiet.

"Tell me, how did you think?" Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yi with interest. This person had been following him before, with a cautious and thoughtful personality, which was very incompatible with his rough appearance.

"I thought that the little prince could go." Liu Yi's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke loudly: "In the current form, there is definitely not only one of our Dongwang Mansion who is worried about the safety of the little prince, but also one person, who is afraid that something will happen to the little prince."

"Oh?" Huang Yuanwu smiled and said, "Who?"

"Yang Qin!" Liu Yi lowered his head and said the name in a deep voice.

"Yang Qin?" The generals around him immediately retorted: "Yang Qin occupied the imperial capital and betrayed the previous emperor. He was unforgivable. It was the death revenge of my Eastern Prince's Mansion. Will he worry about the safety of the little prince?"

"Yes! I wish I could tear the dog thief Yang Qin into pieces now. If it weren't for him, the old prince..." Speaking of this, the general immediately realized something, and everyone's eyes immediately cast like him, and everyone's eyes were full of resentment.

The old prince of the Eastern Prince's Mansion died in the imperial capital. This incident was a public secret in the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Huang Yuanwu ordered that this matter should not be circulated, but such a big thing must not be hidden. Now not only in the army, but most people also know that the old prince has died. However, no one dared to say it publicly without the confirmation of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Now that the general suddenly said this sentence, it can be said that he broke the paper in front of Huang Yuanwu, which would inevitably arouse Huang Yuanwu's sadness, so all the generals stared at this person.

The general also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone.

After hearing this, Huang Yuanwu was also stunned. Suddenly, he thought of his father. A sense of sadness inevitably spread to his heart. He became cold and his eyes were slightly cold. He looked at the general without saying a word.

The air seemed to condense for a moment, and no one spoke in the big tent, and the surroundings were as quiet as death.

After a while, Huang Yuanwu let out a long sigh, and his sighing sounded like a huge rock that hit the hearts of all the generals.

"Okay, don't mention this matter again." Huang Yuanwu said softly, turned to Liu Yi and whispered: "You continue."

Liu Yi's heart was also pounding. He knew that although the generals present had experienced many battles and had no brains, he did not expect that someone would mention the old prince in front of Huang Yuanwu, which really scared him. However, Huang Yuanwu's reaction was still calm and he was not too affected by this matter.

"Yang Qin is not Yang Qin at that time." Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "Now that the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu has seized two cities in the imperial capital. The next step is to force the palace to ascend the throne, and he also has such strength. Even if Yang Qin took the opportunity to force His Majesty to death, he did not have too many troops in his hands. If Emperor Zhengchu now attacked the city, no matter what, Yang Qin would have to die."

"If he wants to live, he can only rely on the Eastern Palace." Liu Yi paused for a moment and continued: "The change in the situation has forced Yang Qin to turn to reach an agreement with us now. Only by relying on the Eastern Palace can he have the strength to compete with Huang Zhengchu. Although there is a mortal hatred between us and him, based on the current situation, the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu is the first butcher knife to cut at his neck."

After Liu Yi said something, all the generals present had nothing to say.

And that's true.

It was precisely because Huang Yuanwu thought of this level that he decided to go to Huang Zhengchu's banquet. He concluded that Huang Zhengchu would not treat him at the banquet. Even if he thought, Yang Qin would do everything he could to prevent Huang Zhengchu from succeeding. Only in this way could he gain more time to survive in the gap between the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace, and seek vitality. Only when the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace were mutually depleted and both suffered losses could Yang Qin survive. Moreover, only when the matter of the imperial capital was completely settled, the surrounding provincial governors who were eyeing him did not dare to act rashly, and would completely obey the new emperor.

This was what Huang Yuanwu thought of, Yang Qin’s only way to survive. In this process, whether it was the withdrawal of troops from the Eastern Palace or the Northern Palace, Yang Qin would undoubtedly die.

"Okay!" After hearing what Liu Yi said, Huang Yuanwu stood up, and the expression on his face also eased a lot. He stepped forward and helped Liu Yi up straight, saying, "I didn't expect that there are so many generals present, and only you have seen through this layer. Liu Yi, I'm not wrong with you."

"Thank you little prince." Liu Yi was helped up by Huang Yuanwu, and did not dare to look up at Huang Yuanwu's expression. He just saluted respectfully and took a step back calmly.

The other generals present were silent at this moment. Just now, almost everyone accused Liu Yi of saying nonsense, but now, no one said such things again.

Ding Jiang, who had been silent since the beginning, turned around, looked at Liu Yi behind him, and nodded slightly.

"Liu Yi has explained the matter to you. This time I go to the banquet, there will be no problem. Huang Zhengchu doesn't have the courage to kill me. As long as he dares to move, he will fall into a long-term war. If I die, three younger brothers can inherit the throne. Huang Zhengchu wants to be the emperor's dream, but he will never be able to complete it. Moreover, Yang Qin, who is in the imperial capital now, will never watch this happen. If nothing unexpected happens, news from the imperial capital will come."

Huang Yuanwu was in a much better mood. He laughed, turned around and returned to his seat, and then ordered: "All generals will return to the camp and start building fortifications immediately. We are now sitting in the seven gates and moving forward and back freely. Since the imperial capital is not yet determined, we will help them." After that, Huang Yuanwu waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat, but he only glanced at Ding Jiang and gave him a wink.

"Ode to the Lord!" The generals below responded in unison and bowed and retreated.

All the generals retreated, but only Ding Jiang did not retreat. He bowed and stood there. Huang Yuanwu left him, and there must be something else to say.

"Recently, what happened to Liu Tianyang?" Huang Yuanwu asked softly with his eyes narrowed.
