Chapter 396 The countdown to the battle

Many changes that have occurred in the royal court of Shenlang Qiang are also happening quietly.

After the diagnosis by the great wizard, some unspeakable secrets were revealed to Prince Ni Er.

His nerves were extremely sharp at the moment, and he knew that the situation in the royal court would soon change dramatically.

If he hadn't made preparations in advance, he might have been captured by then without any chance of resisting.

With this thought in mind, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of everyone in the king's tent and left quickly and quietly.

Since the eyes of all the courtiers and the eldest prince were all focused on King Qiang who was unconscious again, they ignored the presence of the second prince.

Even if it leaves, no one will notice it for a while.

And as the second prince strode out of the king's tent, he seemed to have already made a decision, and ran straight to his tent in almost an instant.

Gang also returned to the main account.

He did not allow himself any time to breathe. He even waved to greet the many cronies he had kept secretly, lowered his voice, and whispered:

"From now on, you will rush to the tribes and invite the clan leaders to secretly assemble their troops, ready to go to the royal court at any time to help this prince fight for the throne."

There was an extremely solemn look on his face as he gave the order.

Immediately, he informed his close friends who could be invited one by one.

Earlier, King Shenlangqiang had always been extremely partial to Prince Ni.

Although he was not unkind to his second son, he could tell from his attitude that he had almost no capital to compete with him for the succession to the throne.

He also saw very clearly in his heart that with King Qiang's love for the eldest prince, he would definitely be appointed to take over the throne a hundred years later.

He had no chance at all.

Moreover, Prince Ni has always relied on the favor of King Qiang to form secret alliances with party members in order to cultivate his own armed forces.

On the surface, he also quietly made friends with many ministers.

In order to gain public support.

This move allowed all the ministers to act as his spies in the royal court.

Whenever there is the slightest sign of trouble, you can quickly learn about it.

Secondly, if the Qiang King really suffered an accident, a hundred years later, he would still have the upper hand in public opinion, and he would naturally be elected to the top.

This point cannot be compared to the second prince.

He could no longer make friends to gain the support of the royal ministers.

It is precisely because I have seen through everything.

After careful consideration, he decided to use external forces to help.

The first external force was naturally the various tribes under the jurisdiction of the Shenlang Qiang scattered around the royal court.

This time he sent his close confidants to invite the clan chiefs to raise an army.

Naturally, in the past few years, he has secretly made many friends and befriended the clan leaders of various tribes.

There were also some clan leaders who either remained neutral or outwardly supported the eldest prince's rise to power, but he did not try to win over them.

After dispatching all his cronies.

At this time, his expression couldn't help but become more serious, and he murmured in thought: "Just now in the king's tent, the great wizard showed some helplessness and words that were difficult to say."

"This all means that even if my father wakes up again, it will only be his last flashback!"

"Based on the current situation, if my father really goes to Hexi, all the ministers in the royal court will definitely support him in taking the throne."

"If that's the case, then this prince will completely lose the chance to stand up. If the eldest prince really takes power in the future, he will definitely regard me as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He can't wait to get rid of me!"

"Even if I think about my old relationship, I will always be under surveillance for the rest of my life, and my destiny will be firmly in the hands of others."

A series of secretly thinking words came one after another in my heart.

His face is also very transparent.

He had no doubts about his elder brother's abilities.

His people are inherently vicious and violent, his city is extremely deep, and his methods are cruel.

He has never shown any mercy towards his political opponents.

In addition, he was unwilling to be subordinated to others and often had big disputes with them.

I am afraid that the eldest prince has already had the desire to kill everyone.

Especially when Zhao Tong personally rushed to the royal court to persuade the Qiang King to raise troops to help.

Because of his protection, he had already faintly aroused the eldest prince's anger.

If he really became the king, would he really tolerate it?

The second prince thought so in his heart.

At least he didn't dare to be sure, and he didn't dare to block his own destiny.

It seems to be for the sake of safety.

Not only did he know that most of the royal court officials were on the side of the prince, he also resolutely made friends with the chiefs of the tribes under his jurisdiction to seek help.

Just making friends with the clan leaders is not enough, nor is it enough.

In order to ensure that when the incident happened, he would have enough strength to compete with the eldest prince.

He even had the intention of focusing on the periphery.

It was also because of this thought that he came forward to help Zhao Zilong sweep through the Cao garrison at the Qiang Dao Camp during the Battle of Hanzhong.

So much so that they easily occupied Wudu and the Qiangdao Camp, an important town connected to Longxi County in Liangzhou.

This also led to an intersection with the Liu family in Shu.

And established a preliminary friendship with Zhao Yunxiang, and both parties made many agreements.

This incident also served as the trigger.

When Zhao Tongchu led his troops to station in Qiang Road and still had a weak foothold, when he was attacked by Cao's army, he personally went to Shenlang Qiang to request reinforcements. Only then did the second prince try his best to fight with him on the matter.

Until now.

The relationship between Prince Ni Er and Zhao Tong is already extraordinary!

Therefore, when his father was seriously ill and lying in bed, he sent people on horseback to the Qiang Dao camp to inform him of the matter.

So that you can help yourself at critical moments!

That is to say, he has won over many clan leaders from surrounding tribes.

But this matter is still extremely risky.

If things come to a head and all the clan leaders reverse course and are no longer willing to agree with him, then that would be a really bad thing.

But now we have Zhao Tong and the entire Liu Bei group behind him who rely on him.

Then his confidence in fighting for the position will undoubtedly increase by a lot of points.

Great for boosting morale.

After arranging everything, he secretly moved to a remote valley outside the royal court.

Inside the mouth of this valley, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are springs on the flanks of the slopes. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

There is only one main road outside the valley entrance.

The camp was set up at the mouth of the valley.

If you look at the surrounding terrain, you can see that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Between the camps.

As the second prince secretly walked slowly along the main road at the mouth of the valley, he came closer.

What was coming towards them was a large-scale elite force, who were shouting loudly and insisting on practicing with sharp weapons.

After patrolling around, I saw that the soldiers were well-trained.

The second prince couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.

This is the personal soldier that he has secretly spent huge sums of money to create in recent years.

Today, after all, it has its place and is about to be put to use.
