Chapter 2400: Enemy at the Gate
The fourth prince was desperate and first sent people to the Northwest Army camp to negotiate and win over the Northwest generals, promising them high positions and generous salaries, but to no avail.
He then tried to send people to raid, but returned without success.
People in the city are already in unrest.
Shao Yunduan had already sent many people to the capital, and together with Liu Changming, Song Guangyao and others who had stayed in the suburbs of Beijing, he had also quietly developed a team of people in the capital in recent years. Although the number of people was small and they could not do anything else, it was very easy to spread rumors and disturb people's hearts.
In front, the generals fighting against Shao Yunduan saw that their retreat was cut off, so how could they still have the heart to fight? Either escape or surrender, Shao Yunduan was unstoppable, and soon led his army to the capital to join forces with the Northwest Army.
Seeing the huge army outside the city, the Fourth Prince felt disappointed...
For the second prince, this is the best time to reap the benefits.
He and his confidants from the Sun family had already discussed it. The original plan was to take advantage of the time when the Fourth Prince and Shao Yunduan were fighting each other and suffered heavy losses, and launch a surprise attack on Jiangnan, and strive to capture Jinan, Jiangning, Hangzhou and other cities in one go, cut off Shao Yunduan's retreat, and completely encircle and wipe out Shao Yunduan! Destroy his base in one fell swoop!
By then, Shao Yunduan will be nothing more than a stray dog, and he will have to go back to where he came from. He will never have a chance to get his hands on the Qin Empire!
Once he has conquered the vast areas of Jiangnan, Yuzhang and Huaixi, and integrated them with his base camp, and reorganized them, it will be equivalent to him conquering half of the world!
How could the fourth brother, who had fought with Shao Yunduan and was still alive, be his opponent? In less than a year, the unification of the Qin Dynasty was just around the corner!
The ideal is full and reasonable. According to this plan, it is not impossible.
After all, both the Second Prince and the Sun family knew very well that this was an extremely suitable and great opportunity! If they missed it, it would be almost impossible to encounter such an opportunity again in the future!
Therefore, they will definitely do their best to capture Jiangnan!
In this case, the odds of winning are very high.
However, despite all the calculations, the Northwest Army was overlooked.
I never expected that the Northwest Army would get involved! It looked like the Northwest Army had teamed up with Shao Yunduan at some point!
The second prince was so angry that he yelled "ungrateful wolf!"
"My father is really old and confused. He has raised a tiger to cause trouble! Shao Yunduan and the Northwest Army have now become the biggest troubles for the Qin Dynasty! I wonder if his spirit in heaven would be ashamed to see this!"
The second prince was so angry that he even cursed the deceased emperor.
The Northwest Army was stationed at the border, watching covetously, so how could he dare to move?
If he dared to march south with all his might, the Northwest Army would certainly not miss the opportunity to attack his base camp.
The second prince didn't dare, and the Sun family, who had always been fearless, also hesitated.
Without getting rid of the covetous Northwest Army, the Sun family army did not dare to move either.
No one knows the combat capability of the Northwest Army better than the Sun family.
General Sun suggested that it would be better to win over the Northwest Army. As long as the conditions were generous enough, maybe the Northwest Army would switch sides.
After all, who would want to be labeled a traitor when they can get something legitimately?
The second prince sighed and decided to give it a try.
Needless to say, the Northwest Army refused to talk to them. They drove away the envoys they sent without even seeing them!
