The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 233 Prince Ji's Blood Rage

On the morning of the second day, all the troops on King Ji's side left the camp and formed up in battle array.

He was ready to compete with the damn King Huai and kill the bastard so that he could live in Huaizhou Prefecture with peace of mind.

As for the 50,000 Beijing troops led by the little guy behind him, he didn't take them seriously at all.

When the mighty army of Prince Ji was dispatched, Prince Huai was also anxious. He also wanted to drive Prince Ji away so that he could return to Jizhou Prefecture as soon as possible.

However, his elite troops were too small, so he had to send someone to inform the remaining thousands of elite defenders in Prince Huai's palace at night, asking them to attack from behind Prince Ji at the critical moment and to get rid of Prince Ji at all costs.

King Ji was pot-bellied and just riding on his horse. He was wearing a large and fine armor and was about to say some deafening words in a majestic manner.

Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen came running, shouting loudly as they ran: "Your Highness, something big has happened in Jizhou."

These words made Prince Ji and the generals around him look over.

Prince Ji frowned at the panting interrogator and asked, "What happened to Jizhou? Which thief or bandit is causing trouble again?"

He thought it was some bandit from Jizhou who wanted to attack Qiu Feng when his army was not in Jizhou.

The interrogator cried out on his horse, "Your Highness, Prince Huai's army of tens of thousands suddenly broke through Jizhou and wiped out the entire Prince Ji's Palace."

"What?" The fat Prince Ji almost fainted and fell off his horse.

After being supported by his men, he turned pale and angrily said, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? King Huai's army is all over the place. Where did they get tens of thousands of soldiers to attack Jizhou?"

"Come on, chop off this thing that lied about military intelligence for me."

Prince Ji couldn't believe that his great Jizhou Prefecture, a place that no one in the world would dare to provoke, was actually swept away by others.

Someone immediately advised, "Your Highness, please wait a moment and ask for more information before you speak."

One of the men asked the interrogator, "When did this happen? Didn't the soldiers defending the city resist?"

The interrogator cried, "This news is from seven days ago. All the roads leading to Huaizhou Prefecture are blocked by King Huai's troops, so we can't get through."

"With the help of a captain guarding the city, Huai Bing easily entered the city late at night. Many of our brothers were captured in their sleep."

Everyone else was talking about this, it was really hard to believe.

Prince Ji still couldn't believe it and stared at him fiercely: "Are you sure these are Prince Huai's troops?"

"It's absolutely true, Your Highness," the interrogator said immediately, "They're all carrying banners with the word 'Huai' on them. They're saying that if Your Highness dares to attack Huaizhou Prefecture, they'll attack Jizhou Prefecture."

......

Seven days ago, after many days of preparation and communication, the Second Army was finally ready.

Not only did they easily capture Jizhou City, but they also blocked all the official roads between Jizhou and the outside world with the First Cavalry Army.

After conquering Jizhou City, they broke into Prince Ji's Mansion and looted all the valuables in the mansion.

Afterwards, important figures in Prince Ji’s mansion were strictly interrogated, and several warehouses of Prince Ji outside the city were dug out.

Prince Ji is indeed one of the most powerful princes in the world. His savings over many years and generations are simply enormous.

But the Second Army was severely shocked.

There are countless rare treasures, gold, silver, grain, and precious medicinal materials.

There are also thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of sets of weapons and sophisticated armor.

In addition, in Jizhou Prefecture, the warehouses of various families and wealthy families who had good relations with Prince Ji were all ransacked by the Second Army.

The Second Army had done nothing else for these days but to collect horse-drawn carriages, pull carts, and load them with all kinds of good things.

As there were too many goods, the Second Army General and the Chief of Staff discussed and decided to transport the important supplies back first.

The rest are hidden in the mountains on the east side so that King Ji won’t find them. He can come and claim them later.

After Ning Yi received the news, he immediately ordered the First Army, which had just returned to the base from Hushan Pass, to move westward quickly to support the Second Army.

The supplies that were simply and roughly introduced amounted to thousands of carriages, not to mention the large quantities of military rations that were seized.

Ning Yi snorted coldly: "No wonder he's so fat. Damn fat guy, he's so greedy. He's even more cruel than the two Fourth Princes."

Damn fat guy, no wonder he is so rich, he actually supports 50,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 cavalry.

With so many elite soldiers and horses, ordinary princes were no match for them, and the old emperor did not dare to fall out with Prince Ji.

Moreover, tens of thousands of sets of high-quality armor and weapons and equipment that had just been sent by the noble families were looted. It was obvious that the old man King Ji wanted to increase his elite troops again.

After all, only when one has enough troops will one not be afraid of trouble from the imperial court.

However, the entire Jizhou Prefecture did not have so much capital. It relied entirely on the support of the aristocratic families and the large amount of taxes collected by the caravans from various places that happened to pass through Jizhou.

If this fat guy were to produce so many troops, wouldn't the entire Jizhou be under tremendous pressure?

Ning Yi naturally would not let go of the fat guy who had accumulated so much money and food.

It just so happens that he will be training a large number of elite troops in the future, and he doesn't know how much money and food he will need. This is like a pillow sent to him.

What would he have to worry about then? With at least 200,000 troops, there would be no problem.

After confirming the news, King Ji shouted angrily: "Attack immediately and kill this damned King Huai with your sword."

He felt that it was this damned King Huai who took advantage of the fact that he was leading his army to attack King Huai's Palace and sent his army to take a detour to attack Jizhou Prefecture.

It happened a week ago, and everyone has already snatched away everything they need to snatch away.

Prince Ji also knew that he could not catch up, and it would take them several days to return to Jizhou Prefecture.

In that case, it would be better to deal with King Huai head-on first.

He was determined to massacre the entire Huaiwang Mansion and make up for his losses.

Both sides were seeking revenge. King Huai hated King Ji so much that he stabbed him in the back and delayed his return home.

Prince Ji hated Prince Huai so much that he dared to raid his Jizhou Prefecture, so naturally he was brutal.

Soon the two sides were fighting fiercely, but because King Ji had put in a lot of effort this time, tens of thousands of cavalrymen attacked regardless of the cost.

The army of King Huai was almost on the verge of collapse, and the scattered young men ran all over the mountains and plains.

Prince Ji had no time to pursue these strong men, nor did he look down on them. He was only focused on taking Prince Huai's life.

King Huai's elite troops suffered heavy casualties and could only defend themselves in the military camp.

But they were being chased and blocked everywhere by King Ji, and it was no use for King Huai to curse them.

He didn't want to die here, so he asked his subordinates what they should do.

Huaizhou Prefecture was close at hand, but the army was blocked by King Ji, and could not get through at all.

But no one could do anything. They couldn't win. They were just ordinary vassal kings. How could they possibly compete with the most powerful vassal kings in the world?

They were no match for King Zhiji's 10,000 elite cavalry.

King Huai was busy everywhere and was supported by the barbarians, so the 3,000 cavalrymen he had raised were now less than a thousand left.

They all persuaded King Huai to break out and escape by heading south.
