Although he had seen Yun Luan's portrait, there was no comparison between the portrait and the real person.

Just those eyes made him tempted. What if what he faced every day was her real face?

When Liang Yuhuang thought of this, his heart tightened.

He clenched his fists tightly, a bit of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

He is really crazy.

Yun Luan was so despicable and played him around, but he was still thinking about her real face?

When Chengfeng saw that Emperor Liang Yu didn't respond to him, he couldn't help but become anxious. He quickly raised his hand, bumped Zhao Que's arm, winked at him, and asked him to help persuade the prince.

But Zhao Que kept his head down and remained silent from beginning to end, not even raising his head to look at Chengfeng.

Chengfeng Qi was so powerful that he turned to look at Hu Yu.

Hu Yu's scalp was numb. Looking at the prince's expression, even a fool could tell that the prince didn't seem to want to take advantage of the victory and pursue Yun Luan.

He clenched his fist, put it against his lips, and coughed a few times.

"Your Highness...Yunluan asked her subordinates to send you a message. She said that she would see our army evacuate from Nanchu tomorrow night. If we don't evacuate, she will take action and officially start a war with us."

Chengfeng took a breath: "She is really despicable and shameless. She burned our granaries and forced us to withdraw from the Liang Kingdom. We couldn't win on the battlefield, so she came up with this dirty trick..."

"Your Highness, Yun Luan really deceived people too much. We hurriedly chased him. Once we tied Yun Luan back, we contained Nan Chu's weakness. It's not that Yun Luan and the regent of Nan Chu were in love and had a deep relationship. ? We hold Yun Luan in our hands, but we want to see if the regent will surrender to our Liang Kingdom for Yun Luan."

In fact, if we follow conventional combat methods, Chengfeng's suggestion is very reasonable and professional. If Liang Yuhuang is sensible enough, he should also adopt Chengfeng's suggestion...

But his current thoughts were obviously disturbed by Yun Luan.

He was very upset.

He just felt that the sound of Chengfeng was particularly noisy to his ears.

He couldn't help but look at Chengfeng with a cold face: "It's not your turn to teach me how to fight. According to Yun Luan's behavior, it is impossible for her to be unprepared. Once we catch up, she may set up a trap. They laid some ambushes and are waiting for us there."

Hu Yu quickly echoed: "Your Highness is right to worry. According to Yun Luan's character, there is no way she will give us a chance to capture her."

"Those black feather guards protecting her are all experts who can fight one against a hundred. We, the people, are not their opponents at all. When the time comes, don't fail to capture Yun Luan and be captured by her instead, then Oh no."

Chengfeng knew that some of his thoughts were indeed not very thorough.

But he just felt that this was the best moment to pursue victory.

But His Highness has no plans in this regard, and he should not continue to take a tough attitude, otherwise if His Highness becomes angry, he will be the unlucky one in the end.

Chengfeng finally softened his attitude.

"This subordinate is careless. Your Highness, please calm down."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Liang Yuhuang took one last look at the direction where Yun Luan left. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly: "Let's go back and prepare for the retreat."

Chengfeng's expression changed.

"Retreat? Your Highness, are you really going to admit defeat after being coerced by Yun Luan?"

The battle hasn't even been fought yet, is it going to end like this?

If this spreads out, His Highness's reputation will be ruined.

The prestige he had finally built up in the Liang Kingdom over the years would probably be in vain.

Not only Chengfeng's expression changed, but Hu Yu and Zhao Que also looked at Liang Yuhuang anxiously.

"Your Highness, do you really want to withdraw?"

"If we withdraw, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the Emperor to explain."

The Emperor had originally criticized His Highness a lot. If His Highness returned without success in the end, I am afraid that his position as Crown Prince would be on the verge of collapse and he would no longer be able to hold his position firmly.

How could Liang Yuhuang not understand this truth?

But all the granaries were burned. If they didn't retreat, what would these hundreds of thousands of troops eat and drink?

Are these people allowed to go to the battlefield on an empty stomach and die one by one?

Liang Yuhuang was more unwilling than anyone else, but no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't want to see those soldiers lose their lives innocently.

This war may really be coming to an end.

Originally, he did not agree with the war and invasion of Nanchu territory.

In recent years, my father has insisted on going his own way, regardless of the safety of the people, and has been ambitious to annex the huge country of Nanchu.

After so many years of fighting, countless soldiers have died, many families have been torn apart, and people are in dire straits.

When he thought of this, Liang Yuhuang felt extremely uncomfortable.

This was not the scene he saw.

He was unwilling to become an aggressor unless necessary, and he did not want those innocent people to live a homeless life with their families destroyed due to the war.

He hopes more than anyone else that the world can be peaceful.

Over the years, he has also tried his best and worked hard for it.

But he was just a prince who was controlled by others, and the real political power was controlled by his father. No matter how much he opposed it, he could not reverse his father's ambition to annex Nanchu.

Liang Yuhuang rubbed his sore eyebrows: "Let's retreat for the time being. It's impossible for Gu to let so many people die innocently. Without food and grass, we are destined to fail miserably in this battle. Instead of sacrificing so many people, it is better to retreat early." , at least the loss can be reduced to a minimum."

"Father, Gu Lai is here to stand up... Gu is the prince after all. No matter how angry Father is, he will not do anything to Gu."

Chengfeng opened his mouth, a bit of worry flashed in his eyes.

Does the emperor really not do anything to the prince?

That's not necessarily the case.

Before His Majesty went on the expedition this time, he signed a military order with the Emperor. If he could not win the Southern Prefecture, he would leave it to the Emperor's disposal.

Now that they are about to return defeated, depending on the emperor's fear of the prince, taking this opportunity, your majesty will probably use all his strength to suppress the prince.

The most important thing is that Princess Nihuang is not dead.

With Princess Nihuang here, the prince will no longer have a good life.

Liang Yuhuang got on his horse, without saying a word, he held the reins and hit the horse, turned the horse's head, and returned to the military camp.

After returning to the military camp, he ordered Chengfeng to pass on the order and immediately break camp and retreat.

Several granaries in the military camp were burned to the ground.

Some people had almost guessed the prince's decision, so some people objected at first, but looking at the empty granary, they gradually lost their objections.

Suddenly, the military camp became busy with the retreat.

Liang Yuhuang returned to the military camp one step at a time.

He walked to the desk and sat down slowly.

Then, he took out the letter from his arms.
