Final Volume, chapter 67

Hong Yuetian had always been on good terms with the Eldest Young Master, so he believed that Xiao Ting should have been able to inherit the throne of the Chuan Country since he was the eldest son and it was perfectly justified for him to have inherited the throne.

Without the guidance of the imperial government, Hong Yuetian left the feudal fiefdom and brought Hong Family Army back to the Chuan Du Zhaoyang. Then, he stationed the troops outside the Zhaoyang City.

Hong Family Army was the largest set of Family Army, with a total troop strength of one hundred and fifty thousand. All of the troops were fully prepared for the coming battle, and their combat power was extremely strong, comparable to Central Army in no way, to the extent that it might even surpass them.

Hong Yuetian led his troops back to the capital, causing the ministers and Generals s that supported Xiao Xiang to become nervous. As the saying goes, good people did not come, and good people did not come.

Not long after their Hong Family Army arrived, the twelve dukes, including the Marquis of Changshan, Xiao Yi, the Marquis of Martial Crown, Dou Zhong and Liu Zhen, led their respective Family Army and rushed to the Zhaoyang one after another. For a moment, almost all of the people outside the Zhaoyang City were army.

The various dukes all had their own sphere of influence, and all of their subordinates had gigantic Family Army s, so the question of who would inherit the throne was closely tied to their own personal interests. If the young master or princess who ascended the throne was someone who hated them, then things would not be good for them, so when the battle for the throne was at its climax, they all wanted to interject a foot and push their close young master or princess onto the stage.

Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You and Bu Ying, the four generals, all came to Xiao Xiang's Princess Mansion together and discussed with her about the best way to deal with this situation.

Currently, the Chuan Country that Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You, and the others could control consisted of the first, third, fourth, sixth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth divisions, and of these, the ninth and eleventh divisions were far away from the Western Zhen. They were basically useless, as the six legions that could be directly deployed were the first, third, fourth, sixth, tenth, and twelfth divisions.

Aside from the second, fifth, seventh, eighth, thirteenth, and fourteenth legion, there were also the Family Army of Hong Yuetian and the rest of the Thirteenth Marquis, which added up to several tens of thousands of troops. The situation had become more and more complicated.

When discussing the strategy, Zhang Situ was the first to speak: "Hong Yuetian has always been on good terms with the Eldest Young Master, so he must have come back to the capital on his own to support the Eldest Young Master. Besides that, many of the other twelve dukes support the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master.

Listening to his analysis, everyone furrowed their brows and nodded, believing his analysis to be reasonable. If the dukes did not return, they could still use their prestige in the army to forcefully push Xiao Xiang to the top. But now that the dukes had returned to the capital, they had still led their respective Family Army and rushed over with raging killing intent.

Bu Ying looked around at the crowd, then suddenly said: "The battle for the throne has reached the point where life and death are at odds, if the princess can successfully ascend the throne, both of us will be safe and sound. If the princess loses, no matter whether it is the Eldest Young Master or the Second Young Master, it will be difficult for us to have a foothold in the Imperial Court, we might not even be able to keep our heads. "Now, it can be said that we are on the same boat as the princess. We can only work on the same boat and have no other choice but to retreat!"

The more Yang Zhao heard, the more he felt that Bu Ying was implying something. He asked, "What does General Bu mean by this?"

"I mean, if the princess is proud, then we are proud. If the princess is old, then we are old. Right now, we have to do our best to help the princess. If we hide our selfish motives, we can face her in any way we can, and in the end, we will only suffer!" Bu Ying said in a serious tone.

Pow! Yang Zhao was enraged, he immediately stood up and asked angrily: "Are you implying that we are all harboring evil intentions, and that we are unloyal to the princess?"

Bu Ying said in a serious tone: "I was just reminding everyone out of good intentions, I didn't mean anything else!"

"You are obviously projecting an incantation ?" Yang Zhao was so angry that his beard was raised, his eyes were wide open, and he almost rolled up his sleeves to fight with Bu Ying.

Seeing that, Xiao Xiang who had been silent the entire time waved her hand towards the two of them, and advised: "Alright, General Bu, General Yang, the situation is tense, if it is not good, we will end up in the same situation, let's not create any more chaos inside."

After hearing what Xiao Xiang said, Yang Zhao suppressed his anger and glared at Bu Ying again before he sat back down angrily.

Xiao Xiang looked at the crowd and asked, "The dukes have led their Family Army back to the capital, do the generals have any good plans?"

Zhang Situ said worriedly: "What I am most afraid of is that my Family Army will join forces and make the princess my enemy. That way ?" He did not finish his sentence and just shook his head.

Every single road of the marquis of the Thirteen Roads had at least a few tens of thousands of people on it. Especially the Hong Family Army amongst them, which made up one hundred and fifty thousand troops in a single family. If so many armies were to join forces, it would be enough to contend with the Central Army.

"General Zhang is right!" Lv You slowly spoke out, "Now, there are two key points. One, we cannot let the dukes join hands, and two, we must immediately rope in two people."

Xiao Xiang's heart was moved, and she asked: "Who are the two people General Lu is referring to?"

Lv You said with a stern expression, "One is Wei Heng and the other is Ren Fang."

Wei Heng and Ren Fang were both Chief General. Wei Heng was an old noble from the Chuan Country. Over the past few hundred years, the Wei Family had provided batch after batch of generals and talents to the Chuan Country. Wei Heng's prestige was quite high in the Chuan Army, so even if he could not get to the one hundred percent echo range, he was not far from it. Furthermore, he was directly controlling the second legion with the strongest battle power in his hands.

As for Ren Fang, he was an even more famous general. In the past, when the four empires were at war, Ren Fang had been the commander of the allied armies and was one of the representatives of the new aristocrats in the Chuan Country. When Xiao Xuan was still alive, he trusted Ren Fang greatly and handed over the command of the three Central Army Legion to him alone. The reason Xiao Xuan dared to leave to explore the Divine Pool was also because Ren Fang was in charge of guarding the Zhaoyang.

It was just that since the death of Xiao Xuan, both Wei Heng and Ren Fang's attitudes were unclear.

As usual, Wei Heng stayed in a secluded place. Even if there was a young master or princess visiting him, he would stay sick. Xiao Ting, Xiao Yuan and even Xiao Xiang had all been to his room before.

As for Ren Fang, he was even more straightforward. After Xiao Xuan's death, he immediately moved to the military camp outside the city, far away from the huge quagmire called Zhaoyang. From this, it could be seen that Ren Fang was a smart person, and he was also well aware of the ways to protect himself.0

Wei Heng and Ren Fang's actions were equivalent to saying that they did not want to participate in the battle for the throne between the young noble and the princess.

If the dukes had not returned to the capital, Xiao Xiang's group would not have been in such a hurry to rope in middlemen like Wei Heng and Ren Fang. But now, they couldn't help but be anxious.

After listening to Lv You's words, Xiao Xiang became dejected and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she sighed lightly and said: "In the past, it is not that I did not work hard, but I have personally paid a visit to Old General Wei and General Ren. However, Old General Wei had closed his door and disappeared, and even though General Ren saw me, he did not express his support for me. It will also be very difficult to succeed! "

Lv You said: "Old General Wei can be persuaded by this one. As for the General Ren, this one does not have the confidence to persuade him.

Xiao Xiang did not mind taking a trip to the army camp outside the city, but she was worried that going there herself would be useless. She pondered for a moment before asking curiously, "General Lu is confident that he can persuade Old General Wei?"

Lv You smiled slightly and said: "Although the old general does not care about who inherits the throne, his loyalty to my Chuan Country will never change. Now that the duke does not listen to the imperial government's order and has returned to the capital without permission, he has already committed the crime of disobedience.

Xiao Xiang listened and nodded her head, praising Lv You's intelligence and intelligence, so she found the right place! She smiled sweetly and said: "I can also emulate General Lu and use the same reason to convince General Ren."

The smile on Lv You's face turned into a wry smile. He had the confidence to persuade Wei Heng, but he did not have the confidence to convince Ren Fang.

He wanted to say something, but hesitated as he looked at Xiao Xiang. Finally, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said softly: "Let's try it.

Xiao Xiang accepted Lv You's suggestion and once again left the city. She went to the Chuan Army encampment outside the city to look for Ren Fang, wanting to persuade him to stand by his side.

If she could think of ways to rope Ren Fang in, how could Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan not? It was just that just like Xiao Xiang's result, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan also did not succeed.

Ren Fang currently resided in the Fifth Army camp. The location of the Fifth Army base was located in the northern part of the Zhaoyang, and there was a distance of tens of miles between them. There, he could see a vast plain.

Ren Fang was a person who knew very well the importance of food to his legions. Under his control, the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Legions did the best job of farming, and not only did they not need to request for food from the imperial government every year, they could also deliver the food back to the imperial government. Even so, the three Legions' granaries were all filled to the brim with food.
