Chapter 103 Ambition! Emperor Yongning is forced by the princes to take military power
The next few days.
Chu Yang ordered his men to intensify the training of the troops and forge weapons.
At the same time, he secretly sent people to contact heroes from all over the place to prepare for the upcoming war.
On Wang Fugui's side, Chu Yang's "Announcement" has been posted on the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.
For a moment, the entire Luoyang City was in an uproar.
The people were talking about it. Some people sympathized with Chu Yang's experience and believed that he was harmed by treacherous officials.
Some people also expressed concern about Chu Yang's actions, fearing that he would bring war to Luoyang City.
of course.
There were also some ambitious people who smelled the opportunities hidden there and flocked to Chu Yang, hoping to fight for a bright future in this chaotic world.
for all this.
Chu Yang saw it all, but his heart was calm.
He is no longer the naive seventh prince. Now he has only one goal in his mind, and that is revenge!
After all, Emperor Yongning has attempted to assassinate him so many times. If he doesn't take action again, he would be unworthy of being a man!
After a few days, everything was ready.
In the early morning, outside Luoyang City, thousands of soldiers were lined up in neat rows, with military flags fluttering and murderous aura filling the air.
Chu Yang was wearing black armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, riding a tall horse, standing proudly on the platform, scanning the soldiers in front of him.
"Soldiers!"
Chu Yang's voice was like rolling thunder, resounding through the sky. "Today, I will lead you to flatten the Black Wind Ridge and restore peace to the people of the Great Zhou! Are you willing to follow me, fight your way out of a bloody road, and establish some achievements?!"
"We are willing to follow your Highness until death, even if it means death!"
A deafening roar came from the soldiers' mouths, resounding through the clouds and reaching the sky!
Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist with his right hand, pointed it in the direction of Black Wind Ridge, and shouted sternly.
"set off!"
At Chu Yang's command, thousands of soldiers marched towards Black Wind Ridge in a mighty force.
He rode on a tall horse, looking ahead with a determined gaze.
Although this team seems to be powerful, it is actually a mixed bag, and there are not many elite soldiers who can really fight.
Most of them were soldiers forcibly recruited by Wang Fugui of Luoyang City. They just wanted to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times.
"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't understand."
Zhang Liao rode up to Chu Yang and asked, "Since Your Highness has a brilliant plan, why did you go to the trouble of posting a notice?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth and asked back.
"General Zhang, do you think that the bandits on Black Wind Ridge are really just a mob?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Your Highness means that there are other forces secretly controlling the Black Wind Ridge?!"
"Humph, the world is bustling with people because of profit, and the world is bustling with people because of profit."
"Emperor Yongning is incompetent and the princes of various places are self-reliant. How could this small Black Wind Ridge not be coveted by anyone?"
Chu Yang sneered, "I want to lure them all out and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but admire Chu Yang's foresight.
He originally thought that Chu Yang was just a prince with empty ambitions.
Now it seems that the Seventh Prince is much more powerful than he imagined!
the other side.
Inside the magnificent imperial palace, Emperor Yongning was sitting on the dragon throne with a worried look on his face, tightly clutching a memorial in his hand. It was the news about Chu Yang recruiting soldiers in Luoyang City.
"This rebellious son! I should have killed him directly to prevent future troubles!"
Emperor Yongning cursed with gnashing teeth and slammed the memorial in his hand onto the imperial desk.
"Father, please calm down. My seventh brother was just confused for a moment. As long as you issue an order to recruit him, he will definitely come to his senses and return to the right path."
The fifth prince Chu Yun, wearing a brocade robe and holding a jade ruyi, looked gentle and elegant as he consoled.
"Humph, recruit him? He has already openly raised the banner of rebellion, what's the point of recruiting him?"
Emperor Yongning said angrily, "I think you all want to piss me off to death!"
"The third brother led the troops to take over Qiongzhou, but he never came back. Now there is no news from him!"
"Now that the Seventh Brother has caused such a big fuss, do you want me to hand over my kingdom to someone else?!"
Upon seeing this, the second prince Chu Hai hurried forward and said, "Father, please calm down. I am willing to lead the troops to Luoyang City and capture my seventh brother and bring him back to the capital. I will let you deal with me as you wish!"
"I am also willing to be the vanguard!"
Several other princes also requested to take advantage of this opportunity to gain military merit.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Emperor Yongning roared angrily, and all the princes were frightened into silence.
He rubbed his swollen and aching temple and said helplessly, "We can't rush this matter. Let me think about it again."
Although the princes were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to retreat.
After everyone left, Emperor Yongning leaned tiredly on the dragon throne, his eyes full of worry.
All of his sons were ambitious, and Chu Yang's situation now gave them an opportunity.
If it is not handled properly, it may cause even greater unrest!
After Chu Yun left the bedroom, he went straight back to his own mansion.
He did not take Emperor Yongning's words to heart, but was secretly proud of himself.
"Humph, my father is getting old and confused. He is still pursuing his own military power at this time."
A sinister look flashed across Chu Yun's eyes, and he already had a plan in mind.
After all, he has the military command of an army of 100,000!
He called his confidant and ordered, "Pass the order to pack up your belongings, leave the palace tonight, and head to Luoyang City."
"Your Highness is wise!" The confidant took the order and left.
Chu Yang's move was truly a revelation.
For a moment, the entire Great Zhou was shocked.
Princes from all over the country and ministers in the court were all discussing this.
"Is this Seventh Prince crazy? He actually dares to openly defy the imperial court!"
"Who does he think he is? He wants to fight against the imperial court with just a few thousand of his rabble?"
"I think he is courting his own death! Once the imperial army arrives, he will surely be defeated!"
"That's not the case. After all, the Seventh Prince is a legitimate prince, and I heard that there are many talented people around him. Maybe he can really accomplish something!"
"Success? What success? Treason? It's just wishful thinking!"
For a time, all kinds of rumors spread throughout the Great Zhou.
All forces are watching and waiting for the final outcome of this storm.
at the same time.
The sources of information in various cities in the Central Plains are more accurate. After all, they often keep an eye on Luoyang City.
"What, what did you say? Chu Yang went to Black Wind Ridge?!"
"It's absolutely true. The news came from Luo Yang. It is said that Chu Yang personally led the army there!"
"Is he crazy? Doesn't he know the relationship between Black Wind Ridge and us?!"
In a luxuriously decorated study, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He is the mayor of Qingzhou City. At this moment, his face is full of shock and disbelief.
"This Chu Yang, what on earth is he going to do?!"
The Lord of Qingzhou City paced back and forth, his heart was like a raging sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
What is Black Wind Ridge? It is the "secret treasure house" of those cities in the Central Plains!
"Lord City Lord, do you want to send someone to notify the people in Black Wind Ridge? Let them prepare early?"
A lean counselor at the side whispered a suggestion.
The Lord of Qingzhou City stopped, frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"No, let's not alert the enemy for now. Chu Yang's behavior is too abnormal. Let's see what he is up to first!"
Similar scenes were taking place in several other cities at almost the same time.
