Nanhuang's expression was gloomy, but soon his expression softened a little.
He said: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!"
"Right now, apart from the Third Prince, there seems to be no suitable candidate left!"
Gongsun Hong didn't know whether Nanhuang really thought this way. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the third prince was ordered to defend the capital in danger this time, which is really a great achievement... Also, from this battle, it is not difficult to see that the third prince
He indeed has great talent and great strategy, and may be a good successor in the future!"
Nanhuang thought for a moment, "That makes sense!"
"This time, the Third Prince is really eye-opening!"
"good……"
Gongsun Hong responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I will consider the matter of establishing the crown prince!" Nanhuang said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Gongsun Hong immediately bowed and saluted.
Just like that, the two chatted for a while.
Then Gongsun Hong left the imperial city.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I hesitated for a long time before writing a secret letter.
Order someone to send it to Yecheng.
That's right, it's a personal letter to Prince Gong.
Now, he has chosen to side with Prince Gong and naturally serves him.
A few days passed by. The pro-army troops led by An Shi arrived in Yecheng first, and soon Gongsun Hong's secret message also arrived.
When Prince Gong learned that it was sent by Gongsun Hong, he opened it immediately and looked at the contents inside.
It was at this moment that Prince Gong's expression suddenly changed, his eyes sank, and he looked a bit eerie.
"At such a critical juncture, I risked my life and came to the front line. Unexpectedly, I still didn't receive immediate recognition from my father!"
"hehe……"
After reading the letter in his hand, Prince Gong burned it.
"It seems that there are some things that you should fight for yourself!"
Originally, he was not ready to rebel, but after reading the secret message, his rebellion suddenly became extremely strong.
Because he must seize power as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially the fact that he sent people to kill the prince, once it is revealed, will inevitably become the target of public criticism and become the target of beating.
Therefore, there is no way he would let this happen.
Prince Gong thought for a while and then directly ordered Anshi to lead 20,000 forbidden troops and 50,000 personal troops to attack Fancheng. This had only one purpose, and that was to consume the power in the hands of the Southern Emperor.
When Nanhuang had no more power in his hands, it was time for him to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit.
After lying dormant for so many years, it’s time to take action...
In order to strengthen his own power, the third prince has almost secretly controlled the country's commerce over the years, which is why he is today able to mobilize tens of thousands of secret guards with just one sentence.
Anshi received the order and began to attack Fancheng.
Fan City had been completely destroyed by the secret guards before, so they didn't have much difficulty in attacking the city...
When the Northern Army saw another army coming, they organized a counterattack. In this way, hand-to-hand battles began one after another.
The entire Fancheng once again entered into the light of swords and shadows.
The sounds of killing and screams are endless...
For a time, it resounded throughout Fancheng!
"Kill, kill for me!"
"Kill them back!"
"rush……"
On Anshi's side, he was holding a spear and was also extremely ferocious.
There is quite a man who is in charge of the barrier, and ten thousand men are brave enough to open it.
Rushing to kill.
At the same time, in the main camp of the Northern Army, Xu Mingfeng woke up from a coma, but there was still no blood on his face, like a dying person.
When Wu Ziyang saw Xu Mingfeng waking up, he said excitedly: "Second Prince, you finally woke up!"
Xu Mingfeng nodded stiffly, "How many days have I slept?"
"About five days..."
"I slept for a long time. How is the battle situation now?" When Xu Mingfeng woke up, the first thing he did was to ask about the situation of the Northern Army.
Wu Ziyang said: "Not long ago, we repelled a wave of enemy troops, and now there is another wave. The soldiers are resisting!"
"Don't worry, our soldiers will be able to repel the enemy!"
Xu Mingfeng sighed, "Even if we block it, the situation is over. After defeating the enemy, order the entire army to withdraw to the north!"
"This..." Wu Ziyang hesitated, choosing to listen to Xu Mingfeng, "I'll make arrangements right away!"
To be honest, Xu Mingfeng didn't want to just retreat.
But right now, there is really no way.
For an army that has lost all hope, if you persist, you will die in vain.
The current battle between the two armies is one of going back and forth, mingling together, making it difficult for them to retreat.
I have no choice but to bite the bullet.
One by one, howling...
Even though Anshi only brought 70,000 people with him, even these 70,000 people could not even lift the head of the Northern Army.
They retreated one after another. Gradually, some people stopped resisting and simply discarded their weapons and chose to flee.
As time goes by, more and more people choose to escape.
In this way, the Northern Army was defeated and no one wanted to continue fighting.
To put it bluntly, the morale of the military is completely weakened.
Even if Wu Ziyang reappears, the status quo will not be changed.
There was no other way, so he organized the Northern Army and began to retreat, because now there was really no better way besides retreating.
Anshi and others saw the signs and began to pursue them. They were unstoppable along the way and killed all the Northern troops.
However, Xu Mingfeng and his party were finally allowed to withdraw from Fancheng.
In this way, a tug of war begins...
Anshi wanted to completely wipe out the Northern Army, but although the Northern Army was now defeated, it still had some fighting strength and carried out symbolic resistance.
In a few days, they chased him hundreds of miles away, and An Shi and others still didn't stop.
With no other choice, Wu Ziyang personally led 20,000 people to stop Anshi.
Wu Ziyang did not succeed in this battle, but only bought two hours of breathing space for Xu Mingfeng who was retreating.
Seeing that he was no match, he ordered his remaining soldiers to retreat as quickly as possible.
In this way, Anshi and others chased him five hundred miles away. They felt that they were about the same, so they withdrew their troops and started to return to Yecheng.
A few days passed by, and Anshi returned to Yecheng to report the latest battle situation to Prince Gong.
Prince Gong said solemnly: "What are the casualties?"
An Shi said: "Returning to the third prince, the imperial army lost ten thousand, and the personal army lost as much as twenty thousand!"
Prince Gong nodded, "Well, the battle loss ratio is one to one, which is quite heavy!"
Hearing the sound, Anshi immediately knelt on the ground, "The last general made a mistake in leading the troops, please punish me by the third prince!"
Prince Gong glanced at Anshi and suddenly said: "If I really want to punish you, will the head on your neck also have to be moved!"
An Shi was frightened and knocked his head heavily on the ground on the spot. He originally thought that if he said that to Prince Gong, he would not be punished, but it backfired.
Played off...
"Third Prince, I..."
Yes, the heartbeat is speeding up!
For a moment, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest!
Seeing Anshi's embarrassed look, Prince Gong smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you, I see you're scared! Okay, get up!"
After hearing this, the stone hanging in Anshi's heart fell to the ground, but his face was still twisted...
Prince Gong continued: "Commander An, I want to ask you something!"
