Chapter 229
"Your Highness, is it possible that Qin Mang is joining forces with the Chu army to use the Chu army to get rid of you, Your Highness?" At this moment, even Meng Tian couldn't help but have daydreams.
Tang Yu asked: "Meng Tian, do you know who Chu Baole, the sixth prince of Chu, is?"
"Your Highness, I have heard of Chu Baole. This man is not only the sixth prince of Chu, but also the biological son of Concubine Li Shu!" Meng Tian replied truthfully.
Tang Yu frowned: "Who is Concubine Li Shu?"
He didn't know much about the situation in Da Chu's court. If he wanted to know the specific information, he had to consult Meng Tian.
"This matter is a long story. Let me give you a brief summary of the relationship. The crown prince of Da Chu is named Chu Yunteng. He was very popular in the court before. Unfortunately, the Queen of Da Chu died a year ago. The Queen of Da Chu died.
After that, Emperor Chu only favored Concubine Li Shu. Now I heard that Emperor Chu wanted to depose the crown prince Chu Yunteng and make the sixth prince Chu Baole the crown prince!"
"Of course, these news are all hearsay, and I'm not sure!" Meng Tian whispered.
Tang Yu asked: "These news are definitely not groundless. There is another matter. Which camp does Ye Yuanba belong to in Dachu?"
"It seems to be the prince's camp!" Meng Tian responded quickly.
"Ye Yuanba belongs to the prince's camp?"
Hearing this, Tang Yu's eyes lit up: "That's right, we were ambushed at Hangu Pass yesterday. It's definitely not a coincidence!"
After learning about the distribution of power in the Dachu court, Tang Yu suddenly became enlightened.
First of all, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Long is the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty who is in charge of the military, and his father-in-law is Qin Mang, the general who protects the country. In order to support his son-in-law Tang Long, Qin Mang deliberately colluded with Ye Yuanba and wanted to use him
He was eradicated by the Chu army.
If he died in the hands of the Chu army, even if Emperor Tang was furious afterwards, he would not be able to find them.
Secondly, Emperor Chu intended to depose the crown prince Chu Yunteng and establish the sixth prince Chu Baole as the new crown prince. Invisibly, Chu Yunteng and Chu Baole were on opposite sides. The champion prince Ye Yuanba was the son of the crown prince Chu Yunteng.
He also secretly colluded with Qin Mang and wanted to use the Tang Dynasty to eradicate the sixth prince Chu Baole.
If the Sixth Prince Chu Baole dies, even if Emperor Chu wants to abolish the crown prince order and establish a heir apparent, it will be of no avail.
In the end, both himself and Chu Baole were betrayed without knowing it.
Fortunately, he had backup, and Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to fight out in time to resolve the crisis.
The Chu army was defeated. The champion, Ye Yuanba, must have thought that Qin Mang was unjust and deliberately set up an ambush to kill the Chu army. So yesterday, Ye Yuanba was furious and led an army of 200,000 to attack Yangzhou City.
Got it, Tang Yu understood everything at once.
Before, Tang Yu thought that by establishing his own power in the court and gaining the Emperor's favor, he would be able to gain a foothold in the court. But now it seems that he has underestimated his opponent.
In order to eradicate himself, Qin Mang did not hesitate to join forces with the Chu army. This is simply shocking.
At the same time, Tang Yu also lamented that Meng Shize was so cunning that he ordered Li Jing's 100,000 troops to hide in the dark before the battle even started. This was a good move.
If he had made a big show of claiming to have conquered Li Jing and went out with an army of 130,000, I am afraid that the one who ambushed the Chu army at Hangu Pass yesterday was not the 100,000 Chu army, but the entire 300,000 Chu army in Jingzhou City.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu was also frightened for a while.
In terms of tactics, Qin Mang really used any means to achieve his goals. Jiang is still old and spicy. Compared with Qin Mang, he is still too young after all.
"Your Highness, what are your plans next?" Meng Tian asked.
Tang Yu's eyes turned cold: "Go to Yangzhou City!"
