The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

A bloodstained letter? The princes looked over and found that the blood on the letter had dried and turned black.

Who would risk his life to send such a bloody letter? If this letter was not important, why would it be stained with blood?

Princess Anding said calmly: "If the eldest prince doesn't want to see it, I will burn you to ashes, how about that?"

As she was about to turn around to find a brazier, the eldest prince rushed forward, snatched the letter from her hand and quickly opened it.

Zhou Hanchi and the Fourth Prince were watching anxiously. Seeing that the First Prince didn't say anything, they took the initiative to ask, "Who wrote the letter? What did it say?"

The eldest prince showed them the letter directly.

Zhou Hanchi said: "It turned out to be written by the fifth brother... The third brother really found the fifth brother. The fifth brother has a good relationship with the Crown Prince of Daqi. The third brother asked the fifth brother to be his spy and help him capture the Crown Prince of Daqi!"

The Fourth Prince: "Fifth brother actually said that Daqi is his second home. I beg you to let Daqi go and not kill them all... From this, it seems that Third brother has a high chance of conquering Daqi, otherwise Fifth brother would not have written such a letter of appeal."

The eldest prince's eyes were almost spitting fire, and his back teeth creaked as he bit his teeth: "The third brother, that bastard, actually planned this for a long time!"

knock knock knock.

There was another knock on the door.

The door was not closed. When they looked up, they saw that the person coming over was the eldest prince's personal guard.

"No need to formalize, just get straight to the point!" said the eldest prince in a rage.

The guard stopped saluting and said, "Daqi has spread the news that their general Chu Yi is going to lead his troops to break into our Dazhou royal city and take back their princess!"

Upon hearing this, several princes showed obvious anger in their eyes.

Zhou Hanchi even hugged Princess Anding into his arms: "Since Rongrong is already my woman, I will never let Chu Yu take her back. She will be my woman for life!"

Princess Anding smiled and calmed him down: "I am willing to go with you. No matter who comes, I will never leave you."

The fourth prince said, "Brother Three is in Daqi and wants to conquer Shengjing City. We cannot let him succeed, or at least we cannot let all the credit belong to him alone. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous to Brother Three."

Zhou Hanchi frowned and said, "Yes!"

The fourth prince said, "But Chu Yi is coming again, saying that he wants to take my second sister-in-law back. This is ridiculous! Second brother, why don't you fight against Chu Yi and take down Changqing City, so that they will be defeated in Daqi, avenge their previous humiliation, and let our Great Zhou have a good year.

"Let me lead the troops south to help my third brother capture Shengjing City and share his credit! Then I will be the one to capture the Crown Prince of Daqi alive! My third brother's plan to grab the credit and get in front of my eldest brother is now completely ruined!"

The eldest prince and Zhou Hanchi looked at each other and had no objection to the fourth prince's statement.

The eldest prince stepped forward and patted the fourth prince on the shoulder: "It is an honor for me as the eldest brother to have a younger brother like you! Tonight, you take 20,000 soldiers and go directly south! I am waiting for your good news!"

The fourth prince said, "Don't worry, big brother. If I can't capture the Crown Prince Daqi alive, I will chop off his head and send it to you! Since his Crown Princess is already dead, I will send him to see his Crown Princess, which will help him!"

The three brothers all burst into laughter.

Although the tension of the impending war is still there, they are full of confidence and believe that their Great Zhou will be the victor in the end!

The people of Northern Zhou were never afraid of war!

At night, the Fourth Prince put on his armor, looked back at the 20,000 soldiers behind him, and prepared to set off.

The eldest prince suddenly called him and whispered in his ear: "If it comes to a last resort, it won't hurt to take the life of that bastard, the third brother."

The fourth prince nodded: "Brother, I know! If he dares to betray you, he is no longer our brother, but our enemy!"

The eldest prince nodded, very satisfied with his words, "Okay, be safe along the way! Big brother will wait for your triumphant return!"

The Fourth Prince immediately bid farewell to the First Prince, then mounted his horse, and in the dead of night, he led his 20,000 troops and quietly and quickly left Da Zhou and headed towards Da Qi.

After the Fourth Prince left, the First Prince called over several of his confidants and asked them about the whereabouts of Chu Nian, Chu Zhen, and Shu Xiao.

Ever since the news of the Crown Princess' death came, he had been having people secretly monitor the movements of the Daqi soldiers, especially the three generals.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

“After the death of the Crown Princess, Chu Zhen remained silent for several days, but he still trained his troops on time every day, and even trained more fiercely than before!

"Chu Yu is also busier than usual, arranging troops and preparing to attack our Great Zhou."

The eldest prince frowned. This was very disadvantageous to them.

There was a military advisor beside him who said, "Big Prince, great joy! The Crown Princess is the daughter of Chu Zhen and the biological sister of Chu Yu. Her death brought great grief to them. They are unable to resolve this grief, so they have to keep themselves busy to numb the pain in their hearts! Now any decision they make is influenced by emotions, not well thought out, and it is easy to fail!"

After hearing this, the eldest prince felt relieved and suddenly felt enlightened.

He asked again: "Where is Shu Xiao? How is he?"

The servants replied, "After Princess Anding ran off with our Second Prince, Shu Xiao was devastated. The soldiers under him also laughed at him. He rarely went to the barracks and spent the whole day getting drunk. When we came back from Changqing City, he was still in a drunken dream!"

The eldest prince immediately asked the military advisor: "In your opinion, sir, what are the chances of our Great Zhou winning this battle against the Chu army?"

The military advisor said: "In the past, Da Qi defeated our Da Zhou once, mainly because of the surprise attack and the unexpected attack. Now we will no longer give them such opportunities, and it will be difficult for them to win.

"Plus, the Crown Princess of Daqi is dead, the Crown Prince is sick, and Princess Anding ran off with our Second Prince. The morale of the Daqi army is unstable. I think the chances of winning this time against Chu Ya are at least 70%!"

The eldest prince was very excited: "Great! When my second brother conquers Changqing City and captures Chu Zhen and his son, I believe my fourth brother will also capture Shengjing City and the Crown Prince of Daqi! It will be just around the corner for us to annex Daqi!"

The eldest prince immediately ordered someone to challenge Zhou Hanchi to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Chu.

However, after the Fourth Prince led his troops out of the royal city, he had a very smooth journey. On the next evening, when he entered the territory of Daqi, he became even more cautious.

Although it was already night, he did not plan to rest. Instead, he decided to walk to the village after daybreak and then stop to rest.

But he didn't know that ten miles ahead, there was already a team of soldiers waiting for him. The number of soldiers was no more than 5,000, and it was Shu Xiao, who was said by others to be "drunk every day" in Changqing City, who led the team.

He had been waiting here three days ago.
