Generally speaking, in a small-scale battle like this after winter, everyone will be more understanding and will not be at odds with each other.
This is even more true for the Yan State.
Because food is the most important thing to the people of Yan State, if harassment fails, they will probably negotiate.
However, neither Xia Lihong nor Wang Fengshan expected that the Yan State would actually produce a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers and burned the grain and grass directly, so no one could try to please him!
"The current situation is like this...you should think about it, what should you do..."
Under the candlelight, Xia Lihong's face seemed to turn gray.
In the audience, the generals looked at each other with respect, but no one could come up with a corresponding countermeasure, and even if they could, they wouldn't say it.
Wang Fengshan was twirling his beard, his face dark and unclear.
"There is the State of Yan in front of you, and there is the imperial army in the back. Your Highness, you are really outflanking me from both sides... This year's military expenditure in Northern Xinjiang is tight, and I have not been able to get anything from the emperor's pocket. Now, it is even worse!"
Wang Fengshan sighed, it was unclear whether it was disappointment or sarcasm in his eyes.
"The only solution for now is... to exchange the emperor for military expenses and food!"
Xia Lihong was stunned, still a little unwilling.
At that time, he rushed back to Northern Xinjiang from Yangzhou, one in the south and the other in the north. Although the emperor came suddenly, he simply tied up the other party without doing anything else. He originally planned to issue orders in the name of the emperor to confuse and threaten Xia Xia.
Lishuang cuts off its wings.
But what I didn't expect was that the other party reacted so quickly, and even dared to send a group of old, weak, women and children to fight! And now he is trapped in Pingzhou!
It's just...do you want to hand over your biggest bargaining chip like this now?
Xia Lihong was unwilling in his heart. The emperor was like a golden sign.
But he also knew that he did not dare to touch the other party. If he touched the emperor's hair, Xia Lishuang, who was far away in the capital, would take advantage of the opportunity to ascend the throne, and he would not have a good life either.
We were in a dilemma. We originally wanted to make a plan, but we were trapped here by the person who broke the situation. In addition, Yan State also showed up to stir up trouble. It was really frustrating!
"My lord, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood! Although you have abandoned the emperor, but...as long as the northern border is there, we will still be under control. When the time comes, we will retreat from the Yan Kingdom first, and then enter the customs and enter the capital one day.
It’s not a difficult task. At the very least, more than half of the military forces in the DPRK are under our control now..."
Wang Fengshan's tone was deep and he continued to persuade.
Xia Lihong clenched his fists tightly for a long time before reluctantly saying, "Then I'll trouble General Wang to go and negotiate!... As for the army, let Yu Zheng and his son be released first... Surrender if you can."
, if you can’t throw it, kill it!”
Wang Fengshan nodded, with a slight sigh on his face, which was over forty years old.
Are you going to see your brother again so soon?
I don’t know if he has gotten old after not seeing each other for so many years... Or maybe, I can finally beat him...
…
Different from the lifelessness over there, there was a lot of joy and excitement in the camp in the south of Yan Kingdom.
The night breeze was calm. Yan Tu led the army and quickly dismounted and returned to the camp. At the gate of the camp, there was already a frail figure in white waiting at the door. The man had a jade-colored face, and there was no blemish on his face.
The skin on his head is even more shining white, making even women jealous.
However, the man was thin and obviously in poor health. He was wrapped in thick fox fur and coughed from time to time.
"Your Excellency Li Yuan!" Yan Tu got off his horse and strode forward. Looking at the man's pale face, he hurriedly greeted him.
"It seems that the third prince has won a great victory!" The man smiled slightly and allowed Yan Tu to help him in.
The candlelight inside the tent was full of warmth.
The guard next to him came up with a bowl of extremely bitter medicine. Xia Liyuan blinked, took a sip, frowned slightly, and quickly took out a piece of toffee, and his face became better.
Yan Tu looked at each other worriedly.
"Your Excellency, are our actions too radical? If we run out of food and grass, we will be... sad this winter!"
Xia Liyuan just held the toffee in his mouth and continued to huddle in the fox fur.
