The fight between Longkodo and Prince Guo, maintaining a tacit understanding in private. Although there is a basis for equal strength between the two sides, no one is sure to win the other, but also have selfish intentions.

Not to mention Prince Guo, just take Longkodo as an example. He said before that he wanted to leave a way out for himself. After all, although Prince Yong held great power, he was nominally just a regent, and the real emperor was Jianxing. Whoever can guarantee that Emperor Jianxing would have no possibility of turning around? You should know that whether it is Prince Guo or Prince Cheng, these two are the princes leading troops with military power, and they are all Jianxing people.

In addition, Ortai in Mongolia, he is now in separatist because Prince Yong is worried about liquidation? Once Jianxing suddenly turns over and takes over power one day, the situation will be reversed all at once. Where will Longkodo go?

Stay at the front line today and meet again tomorrow.

This is what Longkodo really thinks, but he never expected that Prince Yong would have such a letter this time. The tone and hidden meaning in this letter are different from the past. It is said to be a letter, but it is actually an ultimatum. If Longkodo does not follow Prince Yong's intentions, then Longkodo will naturally know what is waiting for him next.

"Is there something happening in the court again?" Longkodo, who was anxious in his heart, walked around the house for a few times, and suddenly thought of this problem.

The intention of Prince Yong's letter is different from the past, and the threat in the letter is obvious. Although Prince Yong has been in control of power for some time, Longkodo had always felt that as long as Jianxing's wings were still there, Prince Yong would still be afraid of the two leading princes, Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, without completely dealing with the two soldiers, and temporarily forming a balance between the two sides.

But now it seems that the balance has been broken, and Prince Yong's attitude has become increasingly tough, which is not a good thing for Longkodo.

There are two roads facing Longkodo. One road is to continue attacking Dihua according to Prince Yong's wishes, find a way to take the city, and then completely solve Prince Guo's army, and place the ownership of the entire Western Regions under the Qing Dynasty rule, which was regent with Prince Yong.

In fact, Longkodo has tried this road a long time ago. With military strength, resources, geographical advantage, etc., Longkodo is not superior. If Dihua can be defeated, he would have fought long ago. The problem is that it is very difficult. Otherwise, Longkodo would not have been confronting Dihua and the east, and the two sides have secretly had a tacit understanding until now.

As for the second path, it is to not obey Prince Yong's orders and still do it. But this path is different. As mentioned earlier, the material supply of Longkodo's army is in the hands of Prince Yong, and many of his troops are also Prince Yong's people. Once he wants to imitate Ortai, it is impossible to succeed. If he doesn't do it well, it will arouse Prince Yong's vigilance.

As for seeking favor with Prince Guo, Longkodo never thought about it. He had to know that his family was all pinned by Prince Yong. With his understanding of Prince Yong, once he did this, Prince Yong would attack his family in a blink of an eye.

Furthermore, Prince Guo and Longkodo are not fellow travelers, and they will not have a good life to surrender to Longkodo in the past. Instead of doing this, it is better to stay with Prince Yong. At least for the time being, the court lacks generals. As long as he does not oppose Prince Yong, his nominal uncle can still maintain his glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, Longkodo finally made up his mind and decided to do it according to Prince Yong's wishes.

On the second day, Longkodo summoned the generals to announce military orders, and at the same time began to disperse the outsiders and the people of the camp and rectify the troops and attack Dihua.

"What? Longkodo actually wants to attack Dihua? How many people have come?"

In Dihua City, Prince Guo was hugging two beauties in the Western Regions to drink and dance. These two beauties were offered by his subordinates when he destroyed the country. One of them was the princess of a small country. They were in their 20s and were born with the beauty of the country. Prince Guo fell in love with it as soon as he saw it, and then he took to the mansion.

In the midst of the lively moments, a subordinate came to report that there was something strange about Longkodo, as if he was going to attack Dihua. When he heard this report, Prince Guo was stunned at first, and then woke up after drinking. He asked the beauties around him, the dancing dancers and musicians to retreat, and asked the people who came seriously.

"Back to the prince, Longkodo's camp has dispersed outsiders and is rectifying the troops. It seems that it is necessary to attack with all its strength."

Prince Guo squinted his eyes and thought about it. He naturally knew what was going on in Longkodo's camp. In fact, after the two sides reached a tacit understanding in private, even Dihua relaxed a lot, and still allowed the merchants and the people to go in and out, and did not completely block it.

Now that Longkodo dispersed outsiders, it is clearly a way to take military action. Of course, attacking Dihua is a possibility, and another possibility is to retreat.

However, based on Prince Guo’s understanding of the fourth brother, which is now Prince Yong, he is very clear about his fourth brother’s temper. Since this guy has already taken the position of regent, he naturally wants to get rid of him and quickly. It is absolutely impossible for Longkodo to withdraw his troops without solving his own situation. Therefore, there is only one explanation for the other party’s abnormal movements, that is, attacking Dihua.

Thinking of this, Prince Guo did not hesitate and quickly ordered the summoning of his generals. Just half an hour later, various orders were issued from Prince Guo's mansion, and the entire Dihua City suddenly entered a wartime state.

The city gates were blocked and the people were not allowed to go out. Soldiers went to the city wall to prepare for defending the city. As for other troops, they were also mobilized immediately. Prince Guo was ready to face the battle.

Early the next morning, Longkodo's army stepped out of the camp and advanced westward to Dihua. The forward arrived outside Dihua City in just one hour.

To be on the safe side, Prince Guo did not directly fight Longkodo's troops, but adopted the strategy of defending the city first. After all, although Dihua is not as good as the big cities in the Central Plains, it is also the best city in the Western Regions. In addition, after capturing this city, Prince Guo sent people to strengthen the city wall, which furthered his city defense.

Furthermore, there should be no shortage of food and grass in Dihua. With Prince Guo’s troops, not to mention guarding the superiors, it would be fine even if he stayed for a year or two. In addition, Prince Guo also has a unit of ten thousand people outside the city, and has temporarily retreated to a safe area.

This unit is Prince Guo’s killer weapon to defend the city. The so-called defense of the city cannot be defended to the death. There must be troops outside. Prince Guo understands this. Furthermore, this unit is led by a trusted general trusted by Prince Guo. It not only allows Longkodo to cooperate with the inside and outside when necessary, but also undertakes the task of cutting off the Longkodo army's rations.
