Wang Can's original plan was to watch the imperial army besiege Jiegan's army, wear down one side, and then deal with the remaining one.

Yin Jin'an disagreed, saying that after Jiegan's army starved to death, the people in the city would also starve to death.

Besides, what if Jie were to massacre the entire city in a fit of rage? Emperor Yangsheng is inhuman, and Yin Jin'an wouldn't just stand by and watch so many people die.

He advocates for immediate conflict!

"Let's blow open the city gates with earthenware pots and kill the invaders first."

Wang Can knew that Yin Jin'an was benevolent and righteous. He had figured out this person's character along the way. He was the most suitable person to be a monarch. He would kill without hesitation and protect the people without ambiguity.

They set up camp in Ping'an Town, and the imperial spies learned of their presence immediately.

He immediately returned to the palace to report to Emperor Yangsheng, who was somewhat surprised.

"He didn't take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack back to the capital?"

With Chu Bubai's 150,000-strong army facing off against Jiegan's army, if Yin Jin'an wanted to seize power, he should take advantage of the situation and strike directly at the heart of the enemy.

Emperor Yangsheng said to his spies, "Chu Bubai will surely destroy Jiegan. Keep an eye on Xiao Jin'an."

After the scout left, he immediately gave a sinister order: "Go and summon the Empress."

Chu Hanhua was filled with hatred for Yin Jin'an after her brother's death, but upon hearing that he had been invincible on his way here and was even more terrifying than Jiegan, her hatred turned into fear.

Emperor Yangsheng looked at her as she approached and asked, "Have you contacted the Princess Consort of Huainan? What exactly did she say?"

"I have not yet received a reply..."

As Yin Jin'an fought his way here, his spies had already informed Emperor Yangsheng that the most powerful weapon the eldest prince used was heavenly thunder.

The Heavenly Thunder used by Yin Jin'an, who died in the Great Gan incident.

For many years, there has been no war in the Jade Dragon Kingdom, and the Heavenly Thunder has become a legend, but it has reappeared in the hands of the First Prince.

Although Emperor Yangsheng was an emperor who rose from the ashes, he was still afraid of heavenly lightning.

Chu Hanhua was also eager to avenge her brother, so she sent a special messenger to write a letter to Chu Hanyu, the concubine of Xie Jin (Xie Zhaozhao's half-brother and Xie Xiangxiang's biological brother), requesting the Prince of Huainan to help obtain the Heavenly Thunder.

The letter had been sent to the Prince of Huainan's residence in Yulong Kingdom half a month ago, but Chu Hanyu had not replied.

What Chu Hanhua didn't know was that the production and preservation of the clay pot thunder had always been under Xie Zhaozhao's control.

The clay pot thunder has been continuously improved, and the clay pot thunder of the current Jade Dragon Kingdom is much more advanced than the one mastered by Yin Jin'an.

It had always been in the hands of Chu Zhongtian and Xu Li, and under Xu Li's full supervision.

Unfortunately, Xu Li is stubborn and inflexible. Not to mention Xie Jin, even Emperor Chen Zhou Shaoyu might not be able to get the "Heavenly Thunder" out of him.

To obtain the Earthenware Pot Thunder from the Jade Dragon Kingdom, Xie Zhaozhao must personally agree.

After receiving the letter, Chu Hanyu used all her charm to seduce Xie Jin and beg him to help her sister obtain the clay pot thunder. She cried and said that her elder brother had been killed by traitors, and that if she helped Xixia, it would definitely promote friendship between the two countries.

Xie Jin originally liked Chu Hanyu and helped Xixia gain many advantages in trade, but the clay pot thunder was really difficult to deal with.

Xie Jin was originally a playboy with no great ambitions. Now that the country is strong, he dares not have any improper thoughts.

The Earthenware Pot Thunder is the Jade Dragon Kingdom's top secret.

If he, the Prince of Huainan, were to go to great lengths to acquire earthenware pots for thunder and then send them to Western Xia, wouldn't that be asking Emperor An to destroy him?

Xie Jin refused outright and even slapped Chu Hanyu hard across the face: "You actually want me to make earthenware pot bombs? You want to get me killed?"

"But Your Highness, Western Xia is also your source of strength. You and Prince Qi are both Emperor An's brothers, so why are they all princes, but you are only a county prince?" Chu Hanyu cried, "My sister is the Empress of Western Xia, which is also a great help to the Prince's Mansion!"

Xie Jin said impatiently, "Get out! You spendthrift woman, don't think I can't tell you're trying to incite me to rebel! Do you think I'm a fool? I just don't have great ambitions, but I'm not stupid enough to die."

Assistance? Foreign assistance? Does he have a death wish?

Since his own sister is the emperor, he should just go and curry favor with her. Why bother currying favor with the Western Xia?

"Your Highness, you should discipline her properly."

Xie Jin was never one to show mercy to women; when trouble came, he naturally prioritized his own safety and summoned the Princess Consort to deal with Consort Chu.

The princess smiled and said to the old women, "Take Consort Chu out and lock her in the woodshed."

The wet nurse, seeing that Chu Hanyu had been locked up, whispered to the princess, "Your Highness, what if the prince remembers her again? Will she badmouth him?"

The princess smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead and deal with her as you see fit, let out all the anger we've suffered over the years."

Seeing that her wet nurse didn't understand, the princess said, "The Chu family is powerful, but things are not so easy now."

The wet nurse didn't understand, and the princess didn't explain to her anymore. She just smiled and went to Xie Jin, advising, "Your Highness, I think you should take this opportunity to go to the capital as soon as possible and see Emperor An."

Xie Jin heeded the princess's advice and, since it was cold and he had nothing else to do, he went to Daming Prefecture to see his sister.

The princess ordered the steward to prepare a carriage immediately, and the couple hurriedly headed to the capital.

Upon arriving in Daming Prefecture, Xie Jin, who had not visited the prefecture for many years, looked at the towering buildings on both sides and the bustling streets that were still lively even in the dead of winter. He couldn't help but say to the Princess Consort, "Eldest sister is the greatest emperor of all time."

It was far more prosperous than the capital city.

The princess took the opportunity to advise, "Even if Your Highness has no ambition, you should still govern Huainan well in order to bring honor to your elder sister. Perhaps when the scenery is beautiful, your elder sister can hand over the court to His Highness the Crown Prince and come to Huainan to travel and enjoy the scenery with Your Highness, and fully enjoy the affection between siblings."
