The two kids were confused, but Yuan Xingxuan was more clear. He couldn't help but ask:

"Since you have captured him, why don't you use him as a hostage and ask Nanbang to call a truce?"

In this way, the war can end sooner.

It was only after they went to the battlefield that they realized what the world was like and that it was not as peaceful as they had imagined.

Yan Mingjue glanced at his son with admiration.

This kid's brain is really useful.

That's why he didn't treat them as children.

"Tell me about it."

He did not tell the two children the answer directly, but asked them to think about his approach.

"Is it because of mom?"

"He likes sis! You are humiliating him."

Yuan Xingxuan said affirmatively.

Yan Mingjue: "..."

Sometimes it is not a good thing for children to be too smart.

"Keep thinking."

He spoke.

Yuan Xingrui touched his head and said:

"Do you want him to beg you?"

"Part of it is right."

"continue."

Yan Mingjue encouraged.

The two kids racked their brains and said a lot, but they didn't get to the most crucial point.

Seeing that they really couldn't think of anything, Yan Mingjue spoke up:

"If I capture him, I will ask Nanbang to stop the war, and Nanbang will indeed agree."

"What happens after that?"

"After we release him, how many days of peace can we have?"

"He is determined not to give up and will start a second and third fight."

"So, you want to convince him in one go?"

Yuan Xingxuan's eyes lit up.

Yan Mingjue nodded.

"He has been missing for so long, the Nanbang government is unstable, and I have added fuel to the fire, making his brothers even more restless. Even if he returns, it will be difficult to deal with those brothers, and he will not be able to send troops again for several years.

Even if he finally got rid of his group of brothers, he would inevitably be seriously injured.

That is why he has been keeping Ashdod imprisoned.

Of course, there was also an element of him wanting to humiliate the other party, but he would not say this out loud.

After hearing what Yan Mingjue said, the two kids instantly felt that their adoptive father’s status in their hearts had become higher.

Just as Yan Mingjue expected, without Nanbang, Beihuang would soon be unable to hold on.

Yan Mingjue took advantage of the victory and won several great victories in a row, completely defeating Beihuang. Beihuang sent envoys to ask for peace.

Yan Mingjue was not in a hurry to see the person, but kept him hanging.

The news from their side was transmitted to the capital at the fastest speed.

There was great joy in the capital.

In the past few months, the court officials have never let this worry go.

The two countries were besieging the country, but they had no generals. It was not easy for the crown prince to lead the army into battle. They were worried at first, but the crown prince lived up to their expectations and was extremely brave.

The court officials were feeling relieved, but at this moment, news came out that something had happened to the prince.

When this news came back, no one believed it. In recent years, the court officials had witnessed the methods of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and thought it was his conspiracy.

However, the prince disappeared for several months and they finally began to panic.

Some people had other ideas and began to frequently contact other princes, especially the second prince.

Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be also hit by the news and fell seriously ill.

Yuanrui no longer claimed to be sick and stayed at home, and he became very active in the court.

However, who would have thought that just when the court officials had determined that Yan Mingjue was dead, news came from the border again that not only was he not dead, but he had actually captured Ashduna, the king of Nanbang, alive.

Now we have received news that Beihuang has surrendered. How can we not be excited?

The court officials excitedly discussed who would go to negotiate with Beihuang.

However, not everyone is happy about the news.

At the Second Prince's residence, Yuan Rui had a gloomy look on his face.
