"That's true. Moreover, the Qingzhou Army relies on war to support war, and only needs ten thousand stones of food and grass in total."

One minister spoke, but the others did not refute.

The reality is that this is indeed the case. If they deny it, they will be accused of bullying the emperor.

"In that case, let General Jianfeng continue the fight."

Emperor Daqian waved his hand.

In his opinion, if Jianfeng and Lin Xiaofan could defeat the 200,000-strong Liang army with 30,000 men, there would be no chance of failure.

Since the Qingzhou Army will not fail and they don't want people, it doesn't matter what they do.

"Your Majesty, it took them just over a month to annex the rest of Yueshan County, including Iwaki with nearly 30,000 defenders."

"But now, for three whole months, their troops have not moved once."

Chen Menghuai on the side spoke.

Since the last accident, he has been keeping a low profile, recuperating, and rarely speaks in court.

But now he couldn't sit still.

If Jianfeng is allowed to capture Yueshan County, the Jian family's status will be further improved, and together with the Zhao family, it will be difficult for the Chen family to compete.

Another point that worried him even more was Kang Hong's return.

After Kang Hong came back, although he kept a low profile and didn't do anything extraordinary overt or covert, he still felt a strong threat.

The Chen family often engages in corruption and bribery. Although their butts are relatively clean, who knows if there is any evidence?

What if Kang Hong wanted to seize power and succeed, and with Kang Hong's temperament, the Chen family would surely perish.

Moreover, the Zhao family and the Jian family are famous for their integrity, and they are from the same family as Kang Hong.

If these two families are determined to help Kang Hong, with their power and influence, it is very possible for them to succeed.

So he couldn't bear it any longer. This time, we must try our best to get Jianfeng to withdraw his troops to prevent the Jian family from continuing to grow.

Thinking about it, his eyes gradually became firmer and he looked up at Emperor Daqian.

Emperor Daqian frowned slightly, he hated wasting time on this kind of thing.

"I recognize General Jianfeng's ability to lead troops in battle. If he doesn't send troops, he will naturally have his own plans. There is no need to worry about this matter. If there is nothing else to do, if not, just retreat."

Speaking of this, he was already a little impatient.

However, Chen Menghuai did not give up and continued:

"Your Majesty, let me say one more thing. Jianfeng has a very high prestige in the Qingzhou Army, and the Qingzhou Army almost only listens to him. And I heard that every time they capture a city, they will give money and food to the people there. In the past three months, Down here, he has a very high prestige in Yueshan County."

"He has never sent troops. If it is because of other thoughts..."

Chen Menghuai didn't say any more. He raised his head and looked at Da Qianhuang's face, only to see the latter's brows furrowed.

What he said was so profound that even a fool could understand the meaning behind it.

"Chen Menghuai, what do you mean? My son Jianfeng has made countless military exploits over the years and helped Da Gan retake countless cities. A few months ago, he led 30,000 Qingzhou troops to defeat the 200,000 coalition troops. How can you leave it to you? Slander here!”

Jian Chen couldn't sit still immediately. If he hadn't been in the court, he would have scolded Chen Menghuai.

"Chen Menghuai, General Jianfeng has high prestige in the Qingzhou Army and high prestige in Yueshan County. These are all good things. Giving money and food to the people is also to contain the people's hearts and prevent rebellion later."

"As for the question of whether to send troops or not, I believe everyone knows how difficult Yueshan City is to defeat. The Qingzhou Army only has 15,000 men, so it will definitely not be possible to attack them forcefully. That's why General Jianfeng surrounded the city and planned to burn the food and grass in the city. When Yueshan City runs out of food, it will be the day when the Qingzhou Army sends troops."

Kang Hong was a little angry.

Chen Menghuai and Zhang Zinan, two villains, actually ignored the overall situation for their own petty calculations. Such a family would have been wiped out long ago if he had been the emperor.

Chen Menghuai raised his head and looked at Emperor Daqian, whose eyebrows were always furrowed.

This also shows that the other party has never given up his suspicion.

Thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"Jianchen, Sixth Prince, calm down. I'm just saying a possibility, and I don't mean to slander. Everything is still decided by the emperor."

Emperor Daqian took a deep breath.

If Jianfeng really has that kind of intention, then his throne will be difficult to protect.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. No matter what, you can't let this happen!

"Your Majesty, General Jianfeng is brave and good at fighting, and his desire to serve the country is known to everyone. I dare to swear on my head that General Jianfeng will never rebel."

Kang Hong said anxiously when he saw this.

Yueshan City is very close to the capital of Daliang. Once captured, the Qingzhou Army can threaten the roots of Daliang at any time, so the importance of this battle is self-evident.

If Jianfeng were allowed to attack the city at this time, all previous efforts would be in vain.

"Your Majesty, I also guarantee with my life that my son will never rebel."

Jian Chen's face turned livid and he clenched his fists, wishing he could cut Chen Menghuai into pieces right now.

Emperor Daqian seemed to be in a tangle. He didn't listen to a word of what the two said, he just thought about the outcome of Jianfeng's rebellion.

By then, his throne will most likely be threatened.

After thinking for a long time, he rubbed his forehead and said:

"The time has dragged on long enough. Let General Jianfeng attack. If it doesn't work, it's better to retreat."

It doesn't matter if Yueshan County doesn't want it, as long as the throne can be kept.

He enjoyed his life and never thought about how big a territory he would conquer and his reputation would last forever. As long as he didn't lose too much territory, that would be fine.

"Your Majesty, this battle is the best time to capture Yueshan County. If we rush to send troops or withdraw, we might be in trouble!"

Kang Hong's face turned red, and his voice could not help but become louder.

"Kang Hong, you have been wandering around for so many years and don't know much about Daqian. General Jianfeng is invincible in every battle. As long as he is determined, he can definitely capture Yueshan City. There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Just let General Jianfeng attack."

Emperor Daqian said.

"emperor……"

Kang Hong wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Emperor Daqian:

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother won't blame you. Well, it's getting late. Let's retreat from the court."

After saying that, Emperor Daqian stood up and left.

In his opinion, Kang Hong was just afraid of the Queen Mother's reproach.

After all, in order to persuade the Queen Mother to go on an expedition, Kang Hong said that he would be able to capture Yueshan County.

Jian Chen also wanted to explain a few words, but someone held his shoulder down. Turning around, he saw that it was Zhao Ziyu, the leader of the Zhao clan.

Zhao Ziyu didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

When Jian Chen saw this, he suppressed all the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing Emperor Daqian leave, the ministers also retreated in groups, accompanied by whispers.

Kang Hong froze on the spot, his mind was in chaos, all his thoughts seemed to be blown away by the wind, and he could not concentrate.

Yueshan County is not far from the capital of Daliang. As long as it can be captured, it can threaten the capital of Daliang at any time.

At present, all Daliang's troops cannot be withdrawn, so this is the best chance to capture Yueshan County. At that time, they will have the opportunity to destroy Daliang Kingdom at any time.

But such a big thing changed because of a few words from a minister.

He remembered what Lin Xiaofan said before leaving.

As long as we fall into a protracted war, the Chen family, Zhang family, and Emperor Daqian in the capital will inevitably be unable to sit still and ask them to withdraw their troops.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to win Yueshan County in this battle.

Nothing had happened in the past three months, so he thought Lin Xiaofan had made a mistake.

Now it seems that he believed too much in Emperor Daqian.

"Sixth Prince, let's go."

Zhao Ziyu, the head of the Zhao family, patted his shoulder and left with Jian Chen.

"Ah."

Kang Hong stood up, and after going out, he went straight to the Queen Mother's palace, and happened to bump into Emperor Daqian who was going out.

He bowed and went straight inside.
