Chapter 390 Retreat
"Mom, my brother wants the Qingzhou Army to attack Yueshan City, but this is not the best opportunity. If we attack rashly, we will fail!"
Kang Hong said directly.
The only one who can change Emperor Qian's mind at this time is probably the Queen Mother.
This is his last chance.
"Hong'er, Qi'er told me everything. Jianfeng has been leading troops all year round. He must be better at fighting than me. There must be a reason why he doesn't attack."
Hearing this, Kang Hong raised his head and looked a little more happy. From what the Queen Mother said, it seems that the matter has turned around.
But the Queen Mother's next words extinguished his newly raised hopes.
"But I still want him to attack to test his sincerity. It is not easy for the Kang family to capture such a large piece of territory. If it is taken away by others, I will have no face to face the ancestors of the Kang family."
"Don't worry, if a hasty attack leads to failure, I won't blame you, nor will I blame Jianfeng and the others."
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to explain.
"Mom, Jianfeng definitely has no second thoughts!"
Kang Hong explained anxiously.
"That's enough! Hong'er, I know you are straightforward, but you can't treat everyone as the same as you. Whether Jianfeng has second thoughts or not, you will know once you try it."
The Queen Mother frowned.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Kang Hong could only swallow his words again.
The scene fell into silence. After a long time, the Queen Mother's expression softened and she said:
"Okay, spend more time with Kang Sheng when you have time. You left her to me when you were a child. I can feel it. Although she doesn't say it, she still misses you."
After leaving the Queen Mother's palace, Kang Hong walked aimlessly until he walked out of the palace.
When he reacted, he had already walked to a restaurant.
He smiled bitterly, walked into the luxurious restaurant, and threw a piece of gold to the busboy.
"Serve the wine."
With that said, he walked to a room on his own.
"okay!"
When the handyman saw Jin Zi and knew that he was a big customer, his eyes lit up.
Kang Hong didn't know how much he drank. He only knew that when he woke up again, it was noon again and his mind was groggy.
He came to the tavern again, still in the original private room, and threw out another piece of gold.
The waiter quickly brought the wine. Just when Kang Hong was about to get drunk, a man pushed the door open and walked in with arrogant and domineering steps. He walked straight to the opposite side of him, picked up the wine jar and drank from it. One mouthful.
"who are you?"
Kang Hong looked at the young man dressed as a playboy in front of him, frowned and asked.
What he hates most on weekdays are these dandies who have no ability and only know how to eat, drink and have fun.
Moreover, this person was very courageous and broke in directly without his permission. If the other party doesn't give a suitable reason to come out, he doesn't mind teaching this kid a lesson.
The man years ago showed a smile and whispered:
"Zhao Lang of the Zhao family, on the order of the family leader, wants to discuss something with the Sixth Prince."
Zhao family?
Kang Hong's eyebrows spread a little. Compared to the Zhang family and the Chen family, he still has a good impression of the Zhao family.
But why did the Zhao family send a dandy?
"You said."
Kang Hong said.
The two talked for a long time, from noon to sunset.
When he came out again, Kang Hong took a deep breath. His face was no longer as helpless as before, but more hesitant.
Another half month passed, and Jianfeng had not sent out troops yet, because he still needed to make some preparations.
Emperor Daqian sent three urgent letters in succession, all urging Jianfeng to take action. Just when the fourth letter was about to be sent, an envoy from Daliang came to the capital of Daqian for negotiations.
Kang Hong didn't say a word this time because he knew he couldn't change anything.
The last news was that Daliang ceded half of Yueshan County and sued for peace.
The two sides signed a three-year non-war agreement.
However, in this era of war and chaos, this agreement is nothing more than a joke.
If there is a chance to attack, Daliang will definitely not be soft-hearted.
That is to say, in the morning of today, the news spread that Emperor Daqian was ill.
Long-term enjoyment and lack of exercise left his body exhausted.
Many imperial doctors went to check and prescribed many medicines, which made Emperor Daqian's illness a little better.
However, it was only a short-term improvement. This kind of physical damage is difficult to cure. In addition, Da Qianhuang continued to enjoy himself day and night, so his health became more and more difficult.
Outside Yueshan City.
"General Jianfeng, letter."
A messenger came and delivered the letter.
Jianfeng opened the bamboo slips and took a look, frowning.
"Emperor Da Qian asked us to withdraw our troops. They signed an agreement with the envoy from Daliang, requiring half of Yueshan County not to fight for three years."
After saying that, Jianfeng seemed a little unhappy and slammed the letter on the table.
With a snap, many generals below were in chaos.
"Damn it, in another month, this Yueshan County will not be able to hold on any longer. If we retreat at this time, we will lose all our achievements."
Jiang Li couldn't help but curse.
Even a person who doesn't know much about the art of war can see how important this Yueshan City is.
Once captured, they can hit Daliang's capital at any time. At that time, Daliang will be restricted everywhere, and he can gain more geographical advantages by coming to peace talks.
But Emperor Daqian asked them to attack and retreat again, so that such a good opportunity was lost.
Three years later, Daliang will surely be able to regain his strength. When the time comes, it’s a matter of opinion whether we can win or not.
"General Jianfeng, I will not accept your orders, so we will not retreat!"
"If we quit now, wouldn't our hard work these past few months have been in vain?"
"We have been eating hard food for so long, and we will be defeated immediately. What is the reason for asking us to withdraw now!"
All the generals expressed their dissatisfaction.
Jianfeng frowned and thought, looking at Lin Xiaofan.
Unlike many generals, Lin Xiaofan's eyes were calm and his expression was indifferent, and he said:
"Everyone, Daqian has signed an agreement with Daliang. If this battle continues, we will be unjust."
He had already anticipated the situation before him.
It is impossible for the Chen family and Zhang family to let them capture Yueshan County, and Emperor Daqian will not give them this opportunity.
He hadn't had his hopes up about it from the start, so he wasn't disappointed.
"But we were just a little bit close."
Jiang Li was a little reluctant.
"Counsel Lin, just say that the messenger was robbed and the letter was not received."
In the past three months, they lived in the wild and ate dry food every day, but this was the end result.
The other generals were also dissatisfied.
"If we don't back down from this point, then we will not be able to reap the consequences if the charge of supporting soldiers and self-respect is carried out."
Lin Xiaofan sighed.
"But don't worry, everyone, I will definitely lead you to capture Yueshan County in the future."
This incident was not fruitless. At least Kang Hong's thoughts should have changed during his stay in the capital.
Moreover, they also captured Iwaki City. As long as they hold on here, they can attack Yueshan City at any time. Once Yueshan City is captured, we can point our sword at the capital of Daliang.
As well as the people of Yueshan County, he also gained a lot of hearts.
In the future, if he can handle the capital well, he can directly lead troops to capture Yueshan County.
