Imperial study.

Zong Zhengli came here in a hurry because the latest battle report was sent from the city several miles away.

In the past half month, he and Zong Zhengchen have been fighting each other with swords. Zong Zhengchen has gathered his troops, captured cities and territories, and is ready to cross the Wulan River and attack his territory at any time.

Coming with great force.

The general reported:

"Your Majesty, in just five days, the traitor Zong Zhengchen has already attacked two cities in a row, and there is no sign of stopping. According to his marching movements, he will attack Tianshu City soon!"

Tianshu City is the most important city in Dongling Kingdom.

It is located on the most important transportation route in the middle of Dongling State, running through the entire country and connecting the national economy. It is a gathering place for businessmen and an important center for economic development.

If this city is lost, Dongling's economy will be halved.

Without economic support, how can we have money to fight a war?

Zong Zhengchen's purpose was very clear, either he would not take action, or if he did, he would go straight to the vital points.

Zong Zhengli frowned, "This city must not be lost!"

He hadn't gone to settle the score with Zong Zhengchen yet, but Zong Zhengchen took the initiative to attack.

court death!

"How many people does Zong Zhengchen have?"

The general replied: "There are 20,000 people stationed in the Jiangnan fiefdom. Those who have been organized into the army, plus the Shadow Guards, there are about 50,000 people in the front line."

Zong Zhengli sneered when he heard this.

With only 50,000 people, you want to capture Tianshu City?

When it is a great country, it has no soldiers?

"Send 100,000 men to garrison Tianshu City and ask the rebel to surrender immediately. If he refuses, we will attack from Tianshu City to Jiangnan and destroy his fiefdom!"

A cold voice fell, and his palm slapped on the table, making a solemn sound.

Stern and murderous.

Definitely.

Cold and sharp.

He and Zong Zhengchen saw that there would be a battle, and this battle would only end when one of them died.

"yes!"

The general responded loudly, received the order, and immediately mobilized troops.

Here, Zong Zhengli took care of his official business, and the first thing he did was to ask the eunuch:

"What did Qin Ye do today?"

The eunuch reported the news from the Imperial Guards one by one:

"Miss Qin brought the eldest grandson to the emperor's place first. She sat there for about half an hour, wandered around the palace for more than an hour, and has just returned to Zhaoyang Palace."

Zong Zhengli got the point:

"You've been wandering around with the child in your arms for more than an hour?"

The eunuch nodded:

"Yes, the people over there said that Miss Qin seemed to have been locked up for too long and felt suffocated. She was looking for something new and wandered around for a long time, going around the palace twice before returning."

He frowned.

Strolling for so long?

Could it be that you want to do something else?

After a moment's thought, she could not escape from the palace, and she had a child with her. Even if she wanted to run away, she couldn't. Maybe she was just feeling suffocated and wanted to relax.

He opened the memorial and said, "Keep a close eye on her. Tell me everything she does, what she eats, what she says, no matter how big or small.

"yes!"

.

The quarrel between the two brothers led to a war. The people suffered terribly and split into two groups, complaining:

"Prince Li is ambitious and is plotting to usurp the throne. Why don't you return the throne to Prince Chen?"

"Prince Chen has declared himself king, which is already a crime of treason. How is he different from a traitor by blatantly seizing the throne?"

"The person sitting on the dragon throne today is King Li. We support King Li!"

"If it weren't for Prince Li's scheme, Prince Chen wouldn't have been at a disadvantage. I heard that the current emperor's eldest grandson is actually Prince Chen's child!"

"We only recognize King Chen! No one else can help us!"

"right……"

The people set up their own camps.

According to the current battle situation, Prince Chen has already captured two cities and reached the economically important Tianshu City. Zong Zhengli has sent troops to counterattack. In the near future, there will be a battle in Tianshu City.
