Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 220 Chaos, Battle for the Throne

Early the next morning, the news of King Shendu's death was spread by the eldest prince.

According to the rumors that spread, the old poisonous king became angry because he couldn't accept the news that the 30 troops were wiped out!

Before he died, he announced that the eldest prince would inherit the throne and become the new king of the poisoned royal family.

The eldest prince Ding Te decided to inherit the throne after the old king's burial, and issued an order to the third and fourth princes who were leading the army to come back to attend the old king's funeral. Otherwise, he would be unfilial and he would perform his duties as an elder brother!

Teach these two guys who don't know how to respect their father a lesson.

After the news came out, all parties reacted unceasingly. At first, people thought that the second prince Tia, who was also in the palace, would be the first to stand up against it and fight hard with the eldest prince.

After all, the two were enemies in the first place, and they had been fighting openly and secretly for the throne for many years. This was something everyone knew well.

But what everyone didn't expect was that on the third day, news came from the capital that all the military power of the second prince had been taken by the eldest prince.

The [-] infantry, [-] cavalry and [-] elephant soldiers in the hands of the second prince all surrendered to the eldest prince unconditionally!
Just when everyone thought that the eldest prince had dealt with the second prince and seized the military power, news suddenly came from the capital that the second prince had been named the governor of Hesheli by the eldest prince, and he went to take up his post immediately.

Soon there was news that the second prince was indeed on his way to Hesheli, and he was not under any control or surveillance!
This can't help but surprised everyone who knew the news. They didn't understand why things turned out like this. The second prince didn't compete with the eldest prince for the throne, so he just accepted it?

But now that he has obtained the troops from the second prince, plus the exclusive army of the eldest prince and the king, the eldest prince has controlled nearly 60 infantry, [-] cavalry and nearly [-] elephant soldiers.

This is already more than half of the country's military strength.

The other princes seemed to have no chance of a comeback.

However, there is one person who doesn't think so!

That is the third prince Pinas!
Pinas didn't believe the elder prince's nonsense. He stubbornly believed that the old king must have been killed by the elder prince, not because he died of anger.

He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he led troops to the battlefield when he was only sixteen. He is a rare warrior in the royal family!

Originally, he was the one who led the troops to attack where Jun, but he just happened to be poisoned by a Tubang king in the north who caused rebellion. He took 20 infantry and [-] cavalry to quell the rebellion, so he was not in the palace.

Only then did the task of leading the army be handed over to the eldest prince and the second prince.

But what Pinas didn't expect was that he had just eliminated the rebellious Tubang King, and the 30 Wangdu Army who conquered the savages in Nanli County came back rich.

Afterwards, he even heard the terrible news that the old king couldn't stand the blow and passed away!
And passed the throne to the eldest prince!

The point is here!

Passed to the prince!

Ever since he entered the army, he has been the myth in the poisonous army that he is invincible and invincible!

He always thought that the next Poison King must be him!
But now it's gone with a snap!
His father died and the throne was gone, how could he accept it?

And he knew exactly why his brother Wang asked him to go back to attend the funeral, so naturally he couldn't catch him without a fight!
Therefore, no matter whether the old king was really mad because of the war or not, it is impossible for him to die like this!

It is also impossible for him to believe that he must have been killed by the eldest prince, and the eldest prince must have launched a despicable palace coup!

It must be like this!
So he led the 20 army under his command who had just finished beating King Tubang back!

He wants to take back his throne by force!

Although he is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, in his opinion these are not problems.

The eldest prince really belongs to him, but there are less than 20 people and a few thousand elephant soldiers, which are similar to himself.

The rest were either the king's troops directly under the king's capital and the troops under the second prince's surrender. These big princes couldn't order them like a man, and he had many years of combat experience.

There is still a certain degree of confidence in attacking the 20-odd army of the prince with a united army of 60 people.

So he directly rejected the request of the eldest prince, and said fiercely:

"I will return to the capital! But as a judge, you, the unclean who killed your own father, are destined to be judged by me!

Wait for my return! "

It was already obvious what he meant, and he wanted to call back.

The eldest prince had expected this scene a long time ago, so he was not surprised when he got the news. He just looked at the news with a calm face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne, how could he be unprepared for his third brother, who is a good fighter.

Just when the third prince Pinas led an army of 20 to counterattack the capital, they ran out of food!
The eldest prince cut off all their food logistics, and sent troops to transport large quantities of food from all the cities where they could get supplies back to the king's capital early.

On their way back to the capital, although they still had some food, it was not enough for the 20 troops.

In this way, the third prince, who couldn't find any food, could only return to the capital with 20 hungry troops, and launched a decisive battle with the big prince's army who had already eaten and drank in the wild not far from the king.

Even though the second prince's military command ability is good, the 20 army under him has been hungry for a while.

Once on the battlefield, the physical exertion is even greater, and they all become soft-legged shrimps in the blink of an eye.

They were not the opponents of the well-fed and well-fed grand prince's troops at all, and they were quickly defeated.

The third prince was captured!
However, he was wounded in the battle soon, and died in the capital shortly after being captured because of ineffective treatment.

The eldest prince expressed his deep condolences and grief!

This is his brother!

The victory of the third prince means that the entire Northern Territory of Shendu has been stabilized, and it is firmly in the hands of the eldest prince.

Now the last obstacle to his ascension to the throne is the fourth prince Anaro, who is in the southern part of Shendu, and Shazsuba is the governor!

As long as he is taken down, there will be no obstacles for the eldest prince to become the new king.

It's a pity that Anaro is not as impulsive as the third prince.

Although he also has nearly 20 troops in his hand, he has no intention of attacking the eldest prince. Instead, he cut off Shazi Suba's connection with other Subas in Shendu.

This means that you want to stand on your own!
But he is different from the third prince. Although the 20 army led by the third prince is stronger than his, the third prince does not have a stable logistics supply point. Once the eldest prince cuts off his logistics, he becomes a soft-footed shrimp.

But the fourth prince has an entire Shazsuba as a support, and there is no shortage of food at all. If the eldest prince wants to take him down, he can only take the initiative to attack, head-to-head!

But one is attacking and the other is defending. The difficulty of the two is completely different. Even if the first prince has three times as many troops as the opponent, he still has no confidence in taking down the fourth prince.

But it's impossible not to fight, otherwise I, the poison king, won't be able to convince everyone.

So even if he knew it was not easy to fight the last prince, he could only gather his troops to attack Shazsuba.

The fourth prince Anaro, who had sufficient logistics, was not afraid at all, and directly guarded Shaz and fought with the eldest prince.

For a while, the two sides fought hard!
The whole of Shendu is paying attention to this battle that will determine the future of Shendu.

In Nanli County, Wang Cezhi, who had just returned to the Yamen from the outside, suddenly received an urgent order from Yunzhou County.

Sitting down and opening it, he promptly ordered his subordinates to summon all the chief officials of Shanliang County.
