Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Li Jiao summoned Wu Sangui, a great hero who was 100% loyal to the prince. He was speeding up the march as the commander of the prince's personal army.

After a day and night of forced march, the Guanning Iron Cavalry encountered the rebels under the King of Chu. The war was about to break out. Wu Sangui took the lead and rushed into the battle. In half an incense stick of time, he killed a general under the King of Chu. The morale of the rebels was crushed, and they had to call off the troops.

The victory report soon reached the capital. After hearing the eunuch Lu Chuanyun's secret report, the Emperor of Daxia swept away the gloom of the past and said with a smile: "My prince is really good at tricks. He conjured up a prince's personal army out of thin air, and the fighting power is amazing. It seems that he has been 'playing the pig to eat the tiger' all along."

At this moment, Lu Chuanyun had only returned to Beijing for half a day. He had been in the Zhenxi Army for more than half a month. However, man proposes, God disposes, and in the end, the grandson of King Saobei escaped.

The Mongol Khanate withdrew its troops overnight after the siege failed. Lu Chuanyun then returned to the capital to report, but halfway through the journey he heard that the King of Chu had rebelled.

When he returned to the Forbidden City, he learned that Li Jiao had been restored to the throne and, as the crown prince, commanded the armies of Daxia and had the power to execute first and report later. Lu Chuanyun was also extremely surprised. He had only been away for a while, and so many changes had happened in the capital.

Lu Chuanyun thought to himself, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so calculating that even our family was deceived by him, thinking that he was a deposed prince who could never turn over a new leaf. This boy is too scary."

With the restoration of the crown prince, the King of Chu no longer had any righteous reason to rebel. Daxia already had a crown prince. Even if the emperor was incompetent, as long as the crown prince was there, the people would feel that they still had hope and would not follow the King of Chu in risking a rebellion.

According to the order of succession to the throne of Daxia, it would never be the King of Chu's turn, so he took the risk.

However, Crown Prince Li Jiao is different from the King of Chu. The inheritance of the throne of the Great Chu requires the son to inherit from the father, and there are very few examples of the younger brother inheriting the throne. Although the King of Chu is a member of the royal family, in front of the Crown Prince, his legitimacy advantage in claiming the throne will disappear.

Now, if Li Jiao wants, he can depose his father and ascend the throne as emperor, or give his father the position of emperor emeritus to live out his life in peace, and the people will not say anything.

The King of Chu was a great hero, and he certainly knew this truth, but he was more convinced that his military force could conquer everything.

In addition, he was also considering assassinating his nephew Li Jiao to eliminate a competitor for himself. Otherwise, even if the current emperor was killed, as long as the prince was still alive, his rebellion would continue.

The King of Chu called his trusted generals to a meeting in the military tent and said, "Generals, the restoration of the Crown Prince is a great blow to the morale of our army. The strength of the Crown Prince's personal army is beyond my expectation. But if Crown Prince Li Jiao is removed, the Crown Prince's personal army will collapse without a fight."

Since the King of Chu raised his army, he had been unstoppable, conquering many counties in succession and fighting all the way from his fiefdom around the south of the Yangtze River to Qi and Lu.

The reason why he did not attack Jiangnan was, firstly, because Daxia had deployed a large number of official troops in the Eastern Capital, and secondly, because he wanted to capture the capital in one fell swoop. If he attacked Jiangnan, it would inevitably delay a lot of time, giving the Daxia court time to calmly plan.

Even so, the King of Chu was not without plans for the south of the Yangtze River. He sent his confidants to lobby officials in the south of the Yangtze River to submit to him, promising them high positions, generous salaries and a bright future.

Officials in the south of the Yangtze River were not fools. They did not want to take sides in advance and wanted to wait and see the situation before making a decision. However, the Chu army, which had been advancing rapidly, encountered stubborn resistance in the land of Qi and Lu.

The Chu army suffered heavy casualties, especially the sudden appearance of the prince's personal army, which caused the local officials who were originally on the sidelines to lose confidence in the King of Chu and instead stand firmly on the side of the court, the emperor and the prince.
