God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

At this tense moment, Chahar said anxiously: "Third Prince, don't delay any longer, lest something unexpected happens."

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes became fierce, and he waved his hand to signal his men to take action. Seeing this, Hu Yanji's confidants immediately protected Hu Yanji and shouted loudly: "How dare you!"

For a moment, shouting was heard in the camp, and the soldiers on both sides were on the verge of fighting with their swords drawn.

Huyanji shouted loudly: "Stop it!" Everyone was shocked by his momentum and stopped what they were doing.

Hu Yanji looked at Hu Yanzhuo and said with great sorrow: "Third brother, we are brothers. Do we really have to kill each other? Is it worth it for us to kill each other for this unnecessary war?"

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes wavered for a moment, but then he became firm again and said, "Brother, I am also following the orders of our father. Don't blame me."

At this moment, a soldier came running over, knelt down and said, "Report! The Chu army has made unusual movements, and it seems that they are about to attack."

Hu Yanji took the opportunity to say, "Third brother, starting a war at this time may not be beneficial to us. The Chu State has been prepared for a long time. If we attack rashly, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Hu Yanzhuo fell into deep thought. Chahar said, "Third Prince, don't listen to his nonsense. We have the advantage in military strength. There is no need to be afraid."

Hu Yanji said: "General Chahar, war is not a simple comparison of military strength. Tactics, morale, and public opinion are all crucial. How can we fight when our army is internally unstable?"

Hu Yanzhuo hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Suspend the action first, observe the movements of Chu State, and then make a decision."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, however, the internal conflicts of the Liang army were still not resolved, and the shadow of war still loomed...

Although everyone stopped the conflict temporarily, the atmosphere was still tense and depressing.

Hu Yanji struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Third brother, we can't be blinded by the momentary impulse. Once the war starts, countless families will be broken and the people will be displaced. Is this really the result we want?"

Hu Yanzhuo's face was gloomy and he didn't respond, but he was conflicted in his heart.

Chahar stamped his feet anxiously, "Third Prince, don't listen to Second Prince's sweet talk. If you back down now, how will you explain to the Emperor when you return?"

Hu Yanji glared at Chahar and said, "You only seek credit and don't care about the lives of soldiers and civilians. What qualifications do you have to say more?"

Chahar was intimidated by Huyanji's momentum and was speechless for a moment.

At this time, another spy came to report: "The State of Chu has sent an envoy, requesting to meet with the second prince."

Hu Yanji looked at Hu Yanzhuo and said, "Third brother, why don't you first listen to what the Chu envoy wants to say before making a decision."

Hu Yanzhuo thought for a moment and nodded.

The Chu envoy was brought into the tent, and he said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Second Prince, Third Prince, our Chu State has no intention of being an enemy of Liang State. If Liang State is willing to withdraw its troops and maintain peace, Chu State is willing to exchange friendship with Liang State and share prosperity."

Hu Yanzhuo snorted coldly: "Don't use sweet words, you Chu people are just afraid of my Liang army."

The messenger smiled and said, "Third Prince, you are wrong. War will only hurt both sides, and peace can win both sides."

Hu Yanji said: "What the envoy said makes sense, Third Brother, we should consider it carefully."

Hu Yanzhuo fell into deep thought, and the balance in his heart began to slowly tilt...

Just as Hu Yanzhuo was hesitating, Chahar could not help but speak again: "Third Prince, you must not be fooled by the few nice words of the Chu envoy. This must be their delaying tactic."

Hu Yanji retorted: "Chahar, don't judge others by your own standards. If it was really a delaying tactic, why did Chu send envoys? Wouldn't it be more direct to go to war directly?"

The Chu envoy looked calm and said, "What the Second Prince said is absolutely right. Our Chu State sincerely seeks peace and is willing to give Liang State the trade privileges of several border cities. As long as Liang State withdraws its troops, our two countries will have friendly exchanges from now on, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

Hu Yanzhuo was moved when he heard this and asked, "Are you serious?"

The messenger nodded solemnly: "This is absolutely true. If the Third Prince does not believe it, you can sign a contract on the spot."

Hu Yanji struck while the iron was hot: "Third brother, this is a rare opportunity. It can not only avoid casualties caused by war, but also bring long-term benefits to Liang State. Why not do it?"

Chahar still insisted: "Third Prince, don't trust them. The Chu State has evil ambitions. How can we guarantee that they won't regret it in the future?"

Hu Yanzhuo paced back and forth, thinking for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, let's sign a contract first, but if Chu breaks its promise, Liang will not let it go."

The Chu envoy agreed with a smile, and the two sides drafted a contract on the spot.

However, just as the contract was about to be completed, a soldier suddenly came to report: "It's bad, Prince Three and Prince Two, there is a mutiny in the army. Some soldiers who advocate war have heard that they want to negotiate peace with the State of Chu, and they are very excited and have started to cause trouble."

Huyanji and Huyanzhuo's faces changed drastically and they rushed to quell the riot.

The rioting soldiers were excited and shouted: "We want to fight, not negotiate peace!"

Hu Yanji said loudly: "My fellow soldiers, war brings only pain and death, and peace can make our country prosperous."

But the soldiers did not buy it and the situation got out of control for a while.

In this chaotic moment, Hu Yanzhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, it seems that peace is out of the question. We can only fight."

Hu Yanji sighed helplessly. A war seemed inevitable...

Following Hu Yanzhuo's decision, the Liang army quickly entered a state of preparation for war and morale was reignited.

On the Chu side, upon learning that Liang refused to negotiate peace, Jun Moyuan immediately summoned his generals and deployed a battle plan.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and shouts of killing. The Liang army, relying on its superiority in manpower, launched rounds of attacks, while the Chu army relied on its solid defenses and sophisticated equipment to resist tenaciously.

Although Hu Yanji was reluctant to start a war, he had no choice but to lead the troops and fight bravely. He galloped across the battlefield, trying to break through the Chu army's defenses as quickly as possible.

Jun Moyuan stood on a high place, calmly commanding the battle of the Chu army, and time and time again resolved the fierce attacks of the Liang army.

Lu Tingyan was busy organizing logistical supplies in the rear to ensure a steady supply of materials to the front line.

Lu Tianhao led an elite force to launch a surprise attack on the Liang army from the flank, disrupting the Liang army's offensive rhythm.

The battle lasted for several days, with heavy casualties on both sides.

At this time, a surprise force from the Chu State appeared behind the Liang Army and cut off their food and grass supplies. The Liang Army was immediately in trouble.

Hu Yanzhuo was extremely anxious, as he knew very well what it meant to have food and grass cut off.

Hu Yanji took the opportunity to persuade him: "Third brother, if we don't retreat now, our army may be wiped out."

Hu Yanzhuo hesitated again and again, and finally ordered a withdrawal with no choice but to do so.

The Chu army took advantage of the situation and pursued, causing greater losses to the Liang army.

Although the war ended with the retreat of the Liang army, the hatred between the two countries deepened and the situation on the border became more tense...
