In the North military base along the Datang border, Soldiers dressed in sharpened armor, swords, and weapons to prepare to move.
The First Prince has now become Emperor Zhao Tao. When Great Da Zhou emerged, the four emperors, To prevent confusion, dubbed Zhao Tao's territory as North Zhou. Zhao Wu, the second prince, is the South Zhou. And the third prince is East Zhou.
"Bai Jin, how is our army going?" Emperor Zhao Tao asked.
"Your Majesty, our 100,000 men are ready to move at any time. Just ask your command; we are ready to follow." Bai Jin, a highly-skilled deputy general. Has prepared an army completely
"Master Yi He, what are you doing in Datang?" Zhao Tao asked Yi He, the military advisor.
"Datang has promised us even though they support the second prince. But they will not take this opportunity to offend Dazhou. Let us move the army away."
Yi He said.
Datang thought about stirring the water, so he couldn't let Zhao Tao stay at the northern border. Datang wanted to let the tiger go back and chase people. Also, Zhao Tao held hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Therefore thinking of a ploy for Zhao Tao to raise his army to fight with other emperors until the army disappeared from
Da Tang promised not to offend Dazhou. Allowing the northern army to leave Datang soldiers would not cross the border a single step.
Da Tang extended their support to Zhao Wu and encouraged Zhao Tao to raise his army again. It is clearly hidden with malicious intent. No matter who won, Dazhou was in ruin from the civil war. Even if Da Zhou did not leave the Four Nations Alliance, Da Zhou, who had lost their strength, was equal.
Li Lianzhong, Emperor of Datang, should be praised as a brilliant great. It is an innovative scheme, and it also entices others to be willing to jump into a trap hole.
Following Zhao Tao's ascension to the throne, Yi He promoted an army advisor to Chancellor's rank of North Zhou.
Yi He, a very wise manager, knew that this was Datang's sinister scheme. But he agreed to be caught in this trap. Zhao Tao, despite having a large number of soldiers, did not have a foundation to support. North districts in the wretched wilderness
The more delayed it was, the They would only defeat Zhao Tao's side. As long as Zhao Tao can successfully conquer the capital, Zhao Tao's power base will be more reliable.
"If Master Yi He said so, I can rest assured. Bai Jin issued an order to move the army."
Zhao Tao spoke with valiant words.
"Acknowledged." Bai Jin accepted the Emperor's orders.
Hundreds of thousands of armies have marched south towards the capital of Shenzhou.
In Qinghua City, it was equally stressful. Second Prince Zhao Wu, who had been established as Emperor, had a much better status than Zhao Tao. Qinghua City was a large city, but ancient, crowded with nobles. Many intellectuals
The Second Prince's Palace temporarily turned into a royal court. Zhao Wu was surrounded by nobles that were extremely helpful in managing Zhao Tao. The voices of support from many nobles made Zhao Wu's find it difficult to swing.
"Is our army ready to move?" Zhao Wu asked Pan Zhou.
Pan Zhou, who has great merit, was successfully appointed as the Chancellor in South Zhou.
"Your Majesty, we have an army of about 30,000 men, so that is whole; we cannot mobilize more," Pan Zhou said.
"Pan Zhou is our thirty thousand men, whom should we attack first?" Zhao Wu asked several advisers.
Zhao Wu's strength was not that much. He had to choose to attack anyone.
The fact that only the scholars were mentors would receive many different opinions. But now everyone sees one solution.
"Attacking the capital of Shenzhou."
"Your Majesty, we need to occupy important Chaiyaphum. The central plains of Shenzhou were of great strategic importance. If we can conquer Shenzhou, There will be a city outpost to attack other emperors.
Also, Shenzhou has a large population. Accumulated wealth for thousands of years There is no better target than Shenzhou," said the Chief Minister Panzhou, commenting.
"Your Majesty, I agree." Many nobles began to show their support.
"Your Majesty, we need to hurry and take over Shenzhou. Without this action, the Northern Emperor Zhou could compete for it," Zhong Qian, the head of the Kong family, pointed out to the point.
Everyone knows the importance of Shenzhou City. As well as being a basin of rice and water is more important than any other city. If anyone had conquered Shenzhou, they would also be able to claim Heaven's righteousness.
"No, I can't let Zhou North take Shenzhou away," Zhao Wu hurriedly said.
When he heard that North Zhou, which was his brother's territory, he might have taken an army to take the capital against him, Zhao Wu definitely couldn't agree.
"Emperor Northern Zhou has many times more military force than ours. If we can attack the capital first, We can live in Shenzhou as a defense location. " Said one noble.
But this noble did not yet know the fact that Shenzhou had removed the city wall entirely. If they take over Shenzhou and find that the capital has no high walls to protect, They might actually cry. A city without walls is like an empty city that awaits its people.
"We cannot delay. Urged the military to prepare for action, "Zhao Wu commanded
"Acknowledged," the nobles responded in unison. They could not wait to step into Shenzhou City.
But at that moment someone came to report
"urgent news, Datang's black-armored cavalry has arrived at Qinghua."
"Is that so? Very good, hurry and invite them to enter Qinghua. Bring the army leader to meet me," Zhao Wu said with delight. Finally, Datang's support has arrived.
The nobles began to chatter happily. They lacked an army, but there were still veterans from Datang to help fight. At this event, Shenzhou City almost fell within their hands.
Not too long to wait, the leader of the Black Cavalry arrived. The dark armor, hidden with the killing atmosphere, caused the powerless nobles to kill the chickens. Who were horrified in fear, But they felt appreciated? If they get such an elite army, they are unmatched.
An officer dressed in black armor came to pay respect to Zhao Wu.
"I, Li Xian. The commander of the Black Horse Army bowed to the Emperor. "
"Commander Li, don't be afraid. It must be me who thanked you for the difficult trip to Qinghua," Zhao Wu said while looking at Li Xian.
This Li Xian was like a tall and large tiger with the charisma of a general. Only the killing vapor that spread out to be realized Zhao Wu also appreciated this general. Datang was sincerely sending the top warlord to command the army himself. Besides, the other party also surnamed Li, like the royal family of Datang. It means that this Li Qian must have an unusual origin.
"You people have to keep this a top-secret." Zhao Wu turned to speak to all the nobles.
This collaboration with Datang is a big deal. The conflict between the two countries is too great. If someone knows that he is cooperating with Da Tang, he hires the other soldiers to interfere with internal affairs. The Northern Emperor, Zhao Tao, was probably very angry with him.
The Black Horse Army occupies a natural gap between the three countries. Stray detection along border Traveled to Qinghua City successfully.
"Your Majesty, under the emperor's command, placed me under your control."
Said Li Xian.
"Good, very good," Zhao Wu said with delight. The other party did not hold himself and also agreed to delegate command of the army. There is no such thing as this cheerfulness.
Zhao Wu could not endure further. Stand above the throne of the decree.
"Everyone listened, we move to Shenzhou!!."
"I accept the command, Your Majesty, Long Live the King!" Pan Zhou and the nobles and the nobles all said in unison.
"Long Live the King!"
At this time, all three chess sides have started to land on the board.
