Chapter 637: Can the Ninth Prince hold on?



[What? After Prince Cheng decided to rebel, the General of the Pingxi Army ordered his confidants to send his entire family away and hide in the south?]

[Why the South? Because the South is rich? ]

The prince frowned and listened attentively.

【Just one of the reasons? 】

[Back then, when Prince Cheng broke into the palace, the General of the Pingxi Army was only the deputy general of the Pingxi Army. However, as Prince Cheng's confidant, he realized that with Prince Cheng's style, it was only a matter of time before a bigger conflict broke out with the royal family in the future.]

[Since he has chosen to rely on Prince Cheng, he has no other choice, but he can't bear that his relatives will be like him in the future, and their heads will no longer depend on their belts? ]

[At this time, he thought of his cousin who was the prefect in the south. He had also helped his cousin get into office.]

[When the crisis breaks out, my cousin may be an official somewhere, so his request is very simple...]

[He forged a local household registration, arranged for his confidant's family to be found, and lived under the backup identity prepared for his wife and children.]

[Now, his whole family rushed over, and his trusted family members could also pretend to be relatives and friends who had taken refuge there, without anyone noticing...]

[But he didn't know that when he did this, the lieutenant generals and deputy generals around him would also consider their families.]

[Seeing them follow suit, they sent their relatives and children out separately. Although they were unable to forge household registration, they also sought refuge with trusted relatives and friends...]

【Respectively in...】

According to the system's revelations, Jun Baozhu accurately revealed several addresses.

After listening to the system analysis, Jun Baozhu asked the system:

[So, if the Ninth Prince, or the Crown Prince, finds the family of the Pingxi Army General, and the families of his lieutenant generals and deputy generals, can they reveal their true identities? ]

[You don't care about the lives of the soldiers of the Pingxi Army, but you cherish the lives of your own family members? 】

After the system explained, Jun Baozhu was upset:

【Not much effect? 】

[Can they use the excuse that they are worried that the imperial court will threaten their lives so as not to affect the war? ]

[But at least, exposing this fact will shake their prestige in the Pingxi Army? ]

[After attacking the civilians, some people in the Pingxi Army have been shaken, and their morale has been low due to the continuous fighting...]

[If these facts are exposed, maybe the Ninth Prince can help boost morale and turn the situation around? ]

Jun Baozhu showed joy on her face, but then became worried:

[But how do I let the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince know? ]

[Eh? Why did the prince leave? ]

[Why did the second prince brother also leave? 】

[What a lack of tacit understanding! Why don’t they look at me...]

[Mother, mother, look at me...]

While Jun Baozhu was feeling anxious, the prince had already made two arrangements.

Eight hundred miles away, the general of the Pingxi Army, the lieutenant general, the deputy general and other subordinates were urgently informed of the Ninth Prince's hiding places of their families in advance, so as to disrupt the morale of the troops on the battlefield.

In addition, the guards will be sent to capture the general, lieutenant general, deputy general and other family members of the Pingxi Army.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince both expected that the families of the Pingxi Army generals would be closely guarded...

The situation on site is ever-changing, so we still need someone who can make decisions on site.

The safety of the imperial city is critical, and the second prince cannot leave for the time being...

After deciding on the candidate, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince came to ask the Emperor for instructions...

Unexpectedly, the emperor nodded and completely delegated power, allowing the prince to make arrangements at his discretion in the future and he would not interfere.

The second prince was surprised at the time. His father had clearly already passed away, and he was said to be actively recovering...

It seems that he is obviously unwilling to spend his remaining years in peace, so why does he let it go?

But the prince remained calm and just responded respectfully.

Three days later, Jun Baozhu learned that the Ninth Prince's brother was in a battle, and accurately told the general of the Pingxi Army and his subordinates, and the address where his family was hiding...

The incident happened suddenly, and the expressions of the generals were very interesting.

After learning this from the system, Jun Baozhu could not hide her joy.

[Hahaha? Is that so accurate?]

[They panicked at the time, and the officers and soldiers of the Pingxi Army all realized that the situation was true? ]

[What happened next? The soldiers were whispering among themselves. Although there was no major chaos, they were secretly dissatisfied? ]

[They were shooting arrows at their relatives and friends, but the generals sent their relatives away? ]

[Although the situation was under control and the general of the Pingxi Army denied it in front of the battlefield, the soldiers were not fools after a brief reaction...]

【Wonderful, really wonderful! 】

【but......】

Jun Baozhu remembered and asked the system:

[How did the Ninth Prince know the hiding places of the Pingxi Army generals, their subordinates, and their families? ]

[Brother Prince, arrange for someone to rush eight hundred miles to the front of the battle? ]

[At the same time, the Crown Prince has arranged for the Fourth Prince to split up into several groups and go to the scene to arrest the person? ]

[Although the generals have arranged sufficient protection forces, the fourth prince brother brought the formula written by his mother and the powder prepared by the imperial pharmacy? ]

[Just catching the person and sending him to the front line will delay time...]

[So, the prince brother made the simultaneous arrangements? ]

[Brother Prince is so smart! ]

[So, the fourth prince brother has traveled day and night and has captured the generals of the Pingxi Army and all their relatives? ]

[Brother Fourth Prince, are you planning to send them to the front lines to negotiate with the Western Army? ]

[What? Doing so might intensify the conflict and make the Pingxi Army generals risk everything?]

[Although they have more manpower, the combat effectiveness of the scattered soldiers is still not comparable to that of the Heping West Army. ]

[Brother Ninth Prince, you don't want innocent soldiers to die, you want to buy time? Recruit reinforcements from the east? ]

Jun Baozhu remembered that the system had revealed that it would take a month for the East Recruiting Army reinforcements to arrive on foot.

The war has only been going on for more than ten days, and there have been many casualties...

[It will take more than half a month for the Eastern Recruiting Army's reinforcements to arrive? ]

Jun Baozhu couldn't hide her worry.

[Can the Ninth Prince hold on? ]

After the system revealed the latest developments, Jun Baozhu immediately perked up.

[What? The Dongzhao Army marched day and night, running forward? ]

[So, the time is shortened by half, and we can arrive in three days? ]

[General Chen Lang is really good at managing his subordinates. They really care about the people. They know that the Ninth Prince has few people and are worried that the people will suffer, so they fight so hard! ]

[What? Because they were marching too fast, more than a dozen soldiers fell down and never got up again?]

After hearing this, Jun Baozhu remained silent for a long time.

I feel both touched and heartbroken.

[The spy had already noticed it in advance, and after contacting the leader, he told the news to the Ninth Prince? ]

[So, as long as we can hold on for the last three days, the Ninth Prince's pressure will be greatly relieved? ]

[The families of the Pingxi Army soldiers were not brought to the battlefront so quickly, but the Fourth Prince's brother had people hurry up and pack the family members' personal belongings and send them over overnight? ]

[It has been delivered to the Ninth Prince's brother, the General of the Pingxi Army, you can tell at a glance? ]
