Chapter 2090: The Prefect of Huaixi Arrives
The third prince just happened to have a hold on his throat and controlled the Grand Canal, which was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
The Fourth Prince had been planning for this attack for a long time, and had mobilized almost all the forces he could, determined to succeed!
The Third Prince's strength was not as good as his. Even after occupying Jinan, he did not make much progress. His existence at most annoyed the Fourth Prince and made him feel unhappy.
And over the past few days, the strength of the third prince has not been further improved.
As a result of the Fourth Prince's desperate plan, Jinan City was soon in danger.
The third prince was so frightened that he had to abandon the city and flee to the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, he knocked on the door of Jiangning City and settled in Jiangning.
The Fourth Prince originally wanted to send people to chase and kill the Third Prince in one fell swoop.
But he didn't dare.
He was afraid that the Second Prince would set an ambush along the way, or simply lead his men to attack the capital, thus lurking behind the scenes.
Therefore, when the Third Prince abandoned the city and fled, the Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment and quickly gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit.
Even though the third prince had to flee in a panic after the city was breached, he still had thousands of soldiers following him. It was not an easy task to defeat such a large army.
The Fourth Prince took over all the territories previously occupied by the Third Prince, including Jinan City. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the Fourth Prince taking advantage of the opportunity to capture cities, he could only hold it in.
Other major forces were also not idle and began various battles to seize territory.
The prefect of Hangzhou felt the threat from Jiangning, fearing that the third prince would target him. In addition to strengthening control over Taizhou, Jinhua and other places, he also extended his hands to Huzhou, Suzhou and other places. These places were all prosperous and wealthy with abundant resources. As long as he could firmly control these places in his hands, he would be able to sit firmly in his position as the overlord of Jiangnan.
The third prince wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor by relying on his status as a prince, but it was not so easy to force the other prince to hand over the benefits he had obtained.
He had already planned it out. If he could take advantage of the situation and seize the world, that would be the best. Even if that wasn't possible, the worst that could happen was that he would go out to sea by boat.
With such a back-up plan, the prefect of Hangzhou became more and more unscrupulous.
As the third prince took up residence in Jiangning, the situation in the southeast suddenly became tense.
Just when Qiao Xuan and the others returned to Anze City, Shao Yunduan's boss, Yu Zhifu, the prefect of Huaixi, sent someone to them.
The one who came was Master Miao, one of his men, and he brought three hundred guards with him.
The momentum is huge.
When these 300 guards entered the city of Anze, they looked arrogant and imposing, making people tremble with fear and look like they were not easy to mess with.
Over the years, no matter which prefect he was, he always acted as if Anzezhou City did not exist and never sent anyone here.
This is the first new thing in more than ten years.
Naturally, it caused a sensation.
Countless people crowded the streets to watch the excitement, and there were also many wealthy and prominent people mixed in the crowd watching.
The people subconsciously disliked these people and kept pointing fingers and talking about them, without saying a single good word.
On the one hand, these people are arrogant, but on the other hand, since the prefect has not cared about the lives of the people in Anze City for so many years, why should he send people at this time?
Now that we have Lord Shao, we don’t need them at all!
Some people even had wild ideas and couldn't help but worry: "Could these people come to take Lord Shao away and replace him with someone else as the prefect?"
Update completed, see you tomorrow O(∩_∩)O~
