Prince Jiang He sat in front of the camp and looked at the march map carefully.
Sitting down, there was a group of generals from the Lan Kingdom. The leader was wearing a red battle armor, but his three thousand black hairs were not tied up, but hung down lazily, adding a bit of tenderness to the chilling military camp.
At this moment, the woman's bright red face was stroking the tea cup with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"Brother Emperor, what are you still hesitating about? Withdraw your troops now, what do you want the soldiers to think of you?"
Although the tone was fierce, the voice was charming and gentle, capable of drawing away people's souls.
Several of the generals below looked at each other and frowned slightly. They obviously disagreed with this idea, but did not dare to say it out loud.
Lan Guo's military strength was not as good as Rong Guo's. Even though Rong Guo had just fought a battle with Bin Guo, it was a victorious country after all. Even if the military camp was really empty, it was much better than their barren land in the southwest.
When they met the Rong army in the valley, although it was an ambush, the Feiyun Cavalry led by Feng Cheng were so fierce that they almost fought their way out of the encirclement. It seemed like a victory for the Rong army, but in fact, both sides suffered losses.
However, I didn't expect that Xia Lishuang would be so cunning, letting the young general Qin Zhuo, with three thousand Qingqi, stand around and burn the food and grass of their 20,000 army!
Lan Guo's previous attack was too smooth due to the subconscious release of water by King Shu.
I suddenly encountered this hard problem and suffered a severe loss.
We can only make a temporary truce and wait for the arrival of subsequent food and fodder.
Lan Kingdom is located in the southwest. The territory itself is not large, but the terrain is rugged. The prince himself set out from Dian City with food and grass, and it took a full month to arrive.
As for why it was the crown prince and not the second prince who didn't know how to eat anything, it was because the second prince got into a drinking fight with someone, had one of his legs broken, and was lying in bed recovering from his injuries.
The prince himself thought this reason was nonsense, but he had no choice.
Jiang He frowned and looked at his sister, his eyes full of disapproval.
Originally, this time, it was only because of the unstable situation in the southwest of Rongguo that under Jiang Shu's suggestion, troops were raised to attack the southwest.
The father himself also wanted to make peace, but his sister, who had always been arrogant since childhood, did not know what kind of gunpowder she had taken this time, and she must attack the southwest.
Is it for Xia Lishuang?
After all, Jiang Shu directly threatened to marry Xia Lishuang after seeing her portrait.
But he was directly rejected by Xia Lishuang.
"Shu'er! No, the situation in the imperial court is chaotic now. It is not the best choice for us to send troops this time. Now Shuzhong has been stabilized a lot, and the King of Shu has passed away. If we continue to fight, what will happen to us?
We have nothing to gain!”
Jiang He took a deep breath and looked at his sister.
Because she is the only princess of the Lan Kingdom, it can be said that Jiang Shu has been pampered in all kinds of ways since she was a child, and has developed this lawless character.
But now, just because she is too pampered and spoiled as a daughter, she actually rushes into such nonsense in court affairs.
"Brother Imperial! You are such a coward!" Jiang Shu looked at Jiang He with disapproval in her eyes.
Jiang He sighed, thinking that Jiang Shu had a childish personality. After all, Xia Lishuang refused to marry, and the little princess had been grinding her teeth for a long time.
But now that Xia Lishuang already has a princess, Qin Se and He Ming, wouldn't it be aggrieved if his sister married her?
Jiang He pinched his eyebrows and said, "This matter will be discussed later! Let's wait and see for a while. If Shuzhong is stabilized, we will withdraw immediately without discussion!"
As soon as this order was issued, the ministers retreated in twos and threes. Jiang Shu looked at the prince with a cold expression, but could not say anything else.
Quietness returned to the tent. Jiang He sighed and looked at the rice paper at hand.
It was a peace letter that had already been written.
The candlelight in the room suddenly dimmed, and Jiang He was suddenly startled.
