Chapter 2399: Agreement

Shao Yunduan had to keep moving forward to ensure Qiao Xuan’s safety. Without hesitation, he chose to assist them…

After the intermediate festival, Shao Yunduan launched a surprise attack on the Fourth Prince from two directions. They successfully captured Texas, and this finally provoked a reaction from the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was furious!

Was there no end to this? It was already enough that Tian Shanshan had taken Ms. Qiao hostage. Shao Yunduan had already seized Jinan City, and now he was escalating the conflict further?

As for Minister Old Yun, the Fourth Prince didn’t even consider him!

Shao Yunduan was not a direct disciple of Minister Old Yun, and Minister Old Yun was not aligned with him. He remained in the northwest, and even if he had chosen to become a monk, he hadn’t informed Shao Yunduan, indicating he didn’t support him. The Fourth Prince certainly did not expect Shao Yunduan to seek revenge for Minister Old Yun.

In reality, Minister Old Yun didn’t require Shao Yunduan’s vengeance, but it was undeniable that Shao Yunduan could use this situation as a pretext to mobilize his troops!

To him, seeking revenge for his master was a sign of respect.

No one could fault him for avenging the master he held in high regard.

The Fourth Prince had only himself to blame!

Furious, the Fourth Prince ordered his men to confront Shao Yunduan. He vowed to teach Shao Yunduan a lesson and reclaim the lost city.

The Second Prince had originally planned to take two or three years to recuperate, replenish his army, and train before launching a decisive attack on the capital, followed by a southern campaign to eliminate Shao Yunduan.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yunduan’s aggressive move to attack his Fourth Brother had disrupted those plans.

The Sun family mocked him, “A traitor is a traitor! Your wild ambitions are finally exposed! You’ve been making excuses all along!”

The Second Prince and the Sun family debated whether to send troops but ultimately decided to wait and observe.

He was not so weak, and Shao Yunduan was not so formidable either!

Although Shao Yunduan had won a few battles and claimed territory in Jiangnan, his arrogance in taking the initiative to attack was a bold move. The Fourth Prince would be infuriated and would fight fiercely to repel Shao Yunduan, or risk losing morale and prestige.

Shao Yunduan dared to provoke him, but there was nothing he could do about it!

What future could such a master have?

As a third party, there was no need to rush into action.

Wouldn’t it be more advantageous to wait until the two sides weakened each other in battle before swooping in to reap the rewards?

Of course, careful planning, timing, and preparation were essential for such a move…

However, the Second Prince had not anticipated that they would miss out on the chance to benefit from the conflict.

As expected, the Fourth Prince engaged Shao Yunduan with all his might, furious and determined to teach him a lesson. But just as the conflict intensified, the Northwest Army made an unexpected move!

The Northwest Army was strategically divided into two groups. One group of elite cavalry attacked the capital, while the other remained stationed at the border of the Second Prince’s territory, watching the city with covetous eyes.

The Fourth Prince never expected the Northwest Army to be so bold!

The capital city was now virtually undefended and barely operational. With the disruption of canal transportation, the city’s resources had significantly dwindled.

Surrounded on all sides, the city was unlikely to last more than three months!

This was the ideal situation!

Even if the Fourth Prince managed to endure, those three months would inevitably be marked by chaos and panic.
