"Master, the decree just sent by the court."

Thirty miles east of Dihua is the camp in Longkodo. It is not right to say it is a camp. At present, Daying is no different from a small town. Not only does it have a low wall, but there are many buildings in the city. In addition to the people and merchants coming and going, it is almost another city, echoing Dihua from east to west.

Longkodo has been here for more than half a year. His commander's account...or the commander's mansion is in the center of the city. Today, as usual, Longkodo first went around. When he returned to the commander's mansion, Goshha came from outside and handed it onto a box in his hand.

After taking the box, Longkodo knew that the soldier was not the will of the court, but the letter from Prince Yong. As the uncle, he knew too much about his nephew, and this mysterious trick was Prince Yong's favorite to play.

He waved his hand to Goshha, Longkodo and others retreated and opened the box. As expected, it was a letter from Prince Yong to him.

The letter was not very long, but after reading it, Longkodo's face looked a little ugly. In the letter, Prince Yong asked him to take over Dihua within one month, solve the problems on Prince Guo's side, and completely calm the situation in the Western Regions.

Although the tone in the letter was pleasing, and even praised Longkodo for being loyal to the king's affairs, he made him think about the Qing Dynasty's foundation. To pacify the Western Regions, the Qing Dynasty could regroup with the Western Regions. However, it was mentioned in the letter that although the meaning was not clearly stated, anyone with a discerning eye could see that if Longkodo could not do it, Prince Yong would replace the commander and recall him to the court. When Longkodo wanted to get the result, he would either be shelved or marginalized when he returned to the court. If Prince Yong, who had always been petty, would still settle the score with him.

After reading the letter, Longkodo clenched his fists, his chest was blocked and he couldn't help but stand up, and walked subconsciously around the room.

To be honest, Longkodo and Prince Guo have been in Dihua for so long and have fought during this period, but Longkodo's troops are not superior. In addition, Prince Guo has occupied Dihua early, so he has no shortage of food and grass in the city, so he is not afraid of Longkodo's army attacks at all.

Therefore, it is really difficult for Longkodo to win Dihua under this situation and complete Prince Yong's order to solve Prince Guo's solution. If he could do it, he would have done it long ago, why wait until now?

In addition to this reason, Longkodo also had some selfish thoughts. He knew best how Prince Yong took office. Although Longkodo surrendered to Prince Yong at that time for the sake of his family and his own status, he still had some feelings for Jianxing in his heart.

After all, Jianxing was the real emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Prince Yong was just a regent, and to put it bluntly, he was granted his so-called regent. In addition, compared to Jianxing, although Jianxing had shortcomings in his personality, he was not as decisive and tenacious as Prince Yong, Jianxing was still good to his subordinates. Longkodo's defeat in the Central Plains led to the loss of the Central Plains. Jianxing did not treat him with such a great responsibility in his past contributions, and he still reused it as usual.

But Prince Yong is different. Prince Yong is famous for his meanness and wits. How could Longkodo, as his uncle, not understand his nephew's temper? Moreover, Prince Yong is particularly serious and is not a master who is easy to serve.

These days, Longkodo has not attacked Dihua with all his might. Although the two armies have fought, they are actually small-scale fights. To put it bluntly, Longkodo did not want to really solve Prince Guo in his heart. First, his military strength is limited and both sides have similar military strength, Longkodo was not sure that Prince Guo’s stakes in the Western Regions have been in vain for years. No one expected that the tenth prince and tenth scoops had such ability. In recent years, Prince Guo destroyed countless countries in the Western Regions. Not only did he experience it, he even established great prestige in the army.

As for the third reason, Longkodo is also for himself. He knows that Prince Yong is using him now because there are no generals in the court.

The thirteenth prince, Prince Yi, is far away in Liaodong, and the thirteenth prince, Prince Cheng, is in the southwest. These two princes can be said to be the commanding princes of the Qing Dynasty. The former is deeply trusted by Prince Yong, and later is actually the brother of Prince Yong, a compatriot. Unfortunately, the former is no longer around, and the latter is Jianxing's iron-core. Prince Yong can do nothing whether he wants to use it or not.

As for the eldest prince, the boss's power has been deprived of all his powers by Prince Yong. When Jianxing was in power, at least Jianxing still used his own eldest brother. Although he didn't lead the troops directly for a long time, Jianxing later placed him in training the army and developing firearms. The eldest prince has done a good job in recent years, at least he can't go to the battlefield and serve the Qing Dynasty in this regard.

But shortly after Jianxing was under house arrest, the eldest prince's errand was taken away by Prince Yong, and soon the title of general on his head was gone. At present, the eldest prince and the idle prince were no different, which was equivalent to becoming an ordinary royal family and even being guarded by Prince Yong.

In addition to the above, there is also Ortai. As the commander promoted by Jianxing, after the coup, Ortai realized something was wrong and did not give Prince Yong any chance to use his means. He took advantage of the Ming army's opportunity to attack Shanxi and Guanzhong and directly led the elite to Mongolia.

At present, Ortai is almost in a semi-independent state. Although he is nominally a minister of the Qing Dynasty, he has actually become a warlord who separatist areas. Ortai has hundreds of thousands of troops and Mongolia is in hand. Now it can be said that no one can do anything except the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Longkodo envied Ortai very much, but unfortunately his original elite was gone in the Central Plains. Now that people in the Western Regions are not able to support food and grass, they can’t afford to supply anything. On the other hand, Prince Guo’s side, because he had a hard time when he destroyed the country, Prince Guo did not lack supplies except to the court.

Furthermore, those small countries in the Western Regions have been beaten by Prince Guo and are afraid of being defeated. Taking advantage of the resources of the Western Regions, Prince Guo even has geographical advantages, and Longkodo cannot compare.

Therefore, after the initial attack on Dihua failed, Longkodo adopted the tactic of confrontation. This was both helpless and a way out for himself.

In his opinion, as long as Prince Guo is still there, Prince Yong will not do anything to him. To put it bluntly, he is self-respecting. However, he did this after adopting this strategy. Although Prince Yong was quite dissatisfied, he could only accept the status quo.

Prince Guo is not stupid, and he can understand Longkodo's actions, so the current situation is that the two of them work together to act on purpose. On the surface, they fight for three or five days, but in fact they are all small fights, and there are not even any people who die in a battle. Otherwise, his so-called camp will become so lively now? It is estimated that in a few years, even the Silk Road of that year will reappear.
