I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

The meeting hall suddenly fell into silence.

The front-line battle situation brought by Zhang Huan made everyone's face have a complicated expression.

As the leader of the peace faction, Lu Jun was naturally willing to hear this news.

As long as the Yan army on the front line makes no progress, it proves that their views of peace advocacy are correct.

When the time comes and they suffer this defeat, Jiang Zuo will certainly not escape punishment.

If the Yan army suffers heavy casualties, it will not be just a simple punishment.

At this time, Zhang Huan said again: "The Ninth Prince ordered me to bring back the news that Chen's army has occupied Xinyuan City and cut off our army's supply line. The front line is in urgent need of reinforcements!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

A hint of gloating flashed across Lu Jun's eyes.

Because he knew that the Yan army on the front line was too aggressive, and now their supply lines were cut off by the Chen army, and the troops attacking Jiankang City in the front would definitely return empty-handed.

As long as Jiang Zuo and his ilk did not gain any credit, Lu Jun would be willing to let go.

It now seems that no matter how powerful the front-line troops are, it is impossible to capture Jiankang City without supplies.

The face of the Empress Chen Qingyun suddenly showed some tension, and she immediately ordered: "Quickly dispatch the Guanzhong Army to the south to recapture Xinyuan City!"

It seems that the situation on the front line is much more complicated than she imagined.

"Your Majesty, the Guanzhong Army must not be mobilized!"

Lu Jun hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Why not?"

Chen Qingyun looked unhappy, with anxiety in his eyes.

Lu Jun said: "The Guanzhong Army is responsible for guarding the entire capital area. If we transfer some of the troops away, I am afraid something unexpected will happen."

Although this reason is sufficient, it cannot convince Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun said: "There is no war in Guanzhong now, why can't we transfer the Guanzhong troops? Just do as I say, and no one can object."

Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Jun couldn't help but have wrinkles on his forehead, feeling quite helpless.

It seems that the emperor will have to continue to send more troops to the south.

Lu Jun secretly said: "This is a waste of money and manpower, and there will be no results. It will only cause the decline of Yan State. It is really short-sighted..."

In his heart, he was very dissatisfied with the empress and the generals on the front line, especially Jiang Zuo.

"Your Majesty, Jiankang City is the ancient capital of five dynasties. The city defense is strong and it is not so easy to conquer. Moreover, the Yan army on the front line is slightly inferior in strength. If we forcefully attack again, I am afraid it will only increase casualties. Please make a decision as soon as possible whether to stop the offensive on the front line."

Some officials also said.

At this time, Wei Hong, who was in favor of war, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should send an additional 50,000 troops to take the city and tie up the Chen army. At this moment, the frontline troops are already at Jiankang City, and they are just one step away from taking the city. Your Majesty should give more support to the frontline troops instead of opposing them."

This is what Chen Qingyun liked to hear.

Her current idea is to let the troops on the front line try for another half a month, and then consider withdrawing when there is no way to continue fighting.

The capital is so far away from the front line that Chen Qingyun is naturally unable to command the overall situation.

Therefore, Chen Qingyun chose to believe Jiang Zuo.

……

Chen Guo.

Qishan, the rebel camp.

Several rebel generals were now surrounding Qin Sheng, discussing the next plan.

They had discussed it yesterday, but still no result was reached.

In fact, most people held a negative opinion on whether or not to help the Yan army. However, Qin Sheng, the nominal commander of the rebel army, was a little hesitant at this moment.

"To capture Xinyuan City, our rebel army will have to pay at least 10,000 or 20,000 people. This is absolutely not worth it."

"We, the rebel army, have finally developed to this day. We cannot take any risks."

After discussing the matter, most people thought that they should be conservative and not take risks to help the Yan army.

"I heard that the Yan army is also attacking Xinyuan City. They have a lot of troops, so they don't need our Chen Guoyi army to help."

Their words clearly showed that they did not want to help the Yan army.

"But we have a lot of supplies in Xinyuan City. If we can capture Xinyuan City, we will also be able to get a lot of supplies.

At this time, Qin Yu also appeared in the meeting and said, "If you don't attack Chen's army now, when Chen's army comes to its senses, they will start to encircle and suppress our rebel army."

Qin Sheng frowned and said, "This is none of your business, don't come and make trouble. Go back first and we will naturally discuss it clearly."

After hearing his brother's lecture, Qin Yu became even more excited and said, "You guys are indecisive. By the time you finish discussing, Chen Jun will attack us. If Chen Jun takes control of the situation by then, you will regret it."

"Miss San, which side are you on?"

Others were quite puzzled.

Logically speaking, as the third daughter of the Qin family, shouldn't Qin Yu put the interests of the Qin family first?

"I really can't think of any reason that can convince us to attack Xinyuan City."

someone said.

Qin Yu replied: "The commander of the Yan army, Jiang Zuo, said that as long as our army can capture Xinyuan City, he will give us all the supplies we need, including all the weapons, food and salt."

Hearing this, the Anding Army soldiers beside her all turned their heads, and the expressions on their faces seemed to say, "Did Lord Jiang say these words?"

"All supplies?"

Others' eyes lit up.

"Perhaps those Yan people are just talking, don't take it seriously."

Some people did not believe that Yan State would be so generous.

Qin Yu retorted: "Didn't the State of Yan support us before? Aren't the weapons in your hands and the armor you are wearing all from the State of Yan?"

After hearing this, many people were slightly moved.

After all, Jiang Zuo had been continuously sending equipment to the rebels, which did surprise them.

"We are afraid that after Yan State annexed Chen State, it will attack us, the rebel army."

"No, absolutely not."

Qin Yu said this in an assuring tone, as if she had come here with Jiang Zuo's orders.

"really?"

In fact, Qin Sheng also once suspected Jiang Zuo.

Qin Yu said seriously: "Jiang Zuo also told me that after destroying the State of Chen, he would not deal with us, the rebel forces."

This is the truth. Jiang Zuo only wants to complete the mission. As for dealing with the rebel army in the future, it is not within Jiang Zuo's consideration.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Sheng finally made up his mind: "I have decided to attack Xinyuan City. What do you think?"

Hearing Qin Sheng say this, Qin Yu immediately beamed with joy and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the rebel army could capture Xinyuan City, it would be able to rescue the Yan army on the front line.

"If we take over Xinyuan City, we can also expand our territory. We can give it a try."

"Just fight me, we brothers have been suppressed for so long anyway."

For a time, many people's thoughts began to change.

"Assemble the troops immediately and march towards Xinyuan City!"
