Chapter 2211 They are destined to decide the winner first
At this point, Jiangnan was connected into a large area and all became the territory of the Third Prince.
When the news spread, Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan and others were surprised, and the second prince and the fourth prince were even more annoyed.
Originally, they did not take the timid Third Prince seriously, but they did not expect that this kid would grow stronger quietly under their noses.
However, no matter how unwilling they are, if a fight really comes, both the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince will still choose the other as their opponent.
As long as the other party is destroyed, it won’t be difficult to deal with the third prince.
On the contrary, if anyone turns around and attacks the third prince first, the other party will definitely take advantage of the situation.
And no one of them wanted to join forces to attack the third prince.
Even if they took over the Jiangnan area, it would not mean much to the Second Prince. It was more important to capture the capital as soon as possible!
He was the first to be crowned emperor and succeed to the throne. After taking back the capital, the world was surely his.
By then, it will be very easy to slowly plan to go south and kill the third prince.
As for the Fourth Prince, he wanted to attack the Third Prince first so that he could obtain more and more sufficient supplies.
But the second prince would never cooperate with him.
They were destined to determine the winner first.
Shao Yunduan, Jia Heming and others from Huaixi Province discussed the matter several times. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zheng Sangge led a group of people to Jinhua to station.
Who knows what the third prince will do next? That area needs an experienced veteran like Zheng Sangge to be stationed there to make people feel at ease.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince had no intention of ordering an attack on Huaixi Province, but he sent his confidant Liao Mingzhong as an imperial envoy to the capital of Huaixi Province in the first month of the year, bringing the "imperial edict" and demanding Shao Yunduan to surrender.
Liao Mingzhong was different from Yang, the imperial envoy from the Second Prince's side. He had a very friendly attitude. He had met Shao Yunduan several times when he was in the capital before, and they had attended several banquets together, so they were considered acquaintances.
Liao Mingzhong said that now that the former crown prince was gone, their emperor was born to the empress and was the legitimate son, so the Qin Empire should belong to their emperor.
There are signs that the late Crown Prince was poisoned to death by the Fourth Prince. As a member of the Eastern Palace faction, doesn't Shao Yunduan want to get to the bottom of things, find out the truth and avenge the late Crown Prince?
They also made a solemn promise that as long as Shao Yunduan was willing to be loyal to their emperor, after the two rebel factions were eliminated, he would be recognized as a great contributor to the revival of the country and would be allowed to choose one of the six ministers.
For a minister, this is the ultimate honor and the highest position among officials.
When relaying these words to Shao Yunduan, Liao Mingzhong sighed inwardly, full of envy. The emperor had never given such a heavy promise to these loyal and devoted ministers!
But he had to admit that none of his ministers could compare to Shao Yunduan. They could only do odd jobs for the emperor. If Shao Yunduan surrendered to the emperor, he would bring a large piece of land and countless talents, and he was destined to fight against the rebels for the emperor in the future.
Shao Yunduan did not answer him. He changed the subject and asked someone to take him downstairs to rest first.
Liao Mingzhong also knew that Shao Yunduan was now a local overlord with great power and possessed too much. It was unrealistic to expect him to make a decision instantly, so he smiled and went to rest in a good mood.
Shao Yunduan called everyone together for a talk, but before he could say anything, Jia Heming and a group of clerks, generals, etc. all objected.
