Chapter 330: Estrangement

The general was naturally Zar. This concubine was Zar's childhood sweetheart and his 'true love'. Zar doted on her, even more favored than his wife. This concubine often took advantage of Zar's influence to do wrong, but due to her humble background, she didn't know how to restrain herself.

Qian Yue's idea was very simple. He just told her that the necklace was liked by the general's wife and the concubine snatched it away on impulse.

Zar's wife was a noble daughter bestowed by the King of Tartar, and she was of high status. The relationship between the wife and the concubine was naturally hostile, and it was the concubine who was stupid, but she fell for it after a little provocation.

Prince Liang was furious. "How dare a lowly person ride on my head!"

This was just a trivial matter that would not cause much trouble in Tatar. However, it happened when Zhar lost Yanhui Pass and was being oppressed and insulted by the Lu family army.

The Lu family army mocked not Zar, but all the Tatar warriors. The Tatars had never suffered such humiliation. And all of this was because of Zar. It was Zar who emboldened those incompetent sheep to resist and even defeat the brave wolves. This was a complete disgrace to the Tatars.

Prince Liang did not hesitate to take advantage of this opportunity, unite with the Queen's faction, and frantically write to the King of Tatar to ask him to replace him.

The King of Tatar, King Liang, and the Queen had been in a three-way balance of power, checking each other. This was the first time that King Liang and the Queen joined hands to deal with the King of Tatar.

Moreover, Zar is indeed not very ambitious. Even if the Tatar king wants to support him, he has no reason to do so.

There is another more important reason, which is that the current situation of Tatar no longer allows supporting Zar to fight.

The situation in the country was not good, so at the beginning of summer that year, the Tatar king ordered Zar to return to the court.

Lu Chenyang took a deep breath and decided to send troops to continue the attack.

This order caused disagreements within the Lu family army for the first time.

There had been disagreements before, but everyone had expressed their own opinions, and in the end, Lu Chenyang's opinion prevailed. But this time, apart from Lu Chenyang, no one was in favor of continuing to send troops.

Ji Ping, Zu Xingwei and Dong Zhe all thought that they should not continue the pursuit.

Dong Zhe said, "Sir, it's summer now. The Tatars will soon be able to rest and recuperate. If we continue to pursue them, the battle line will be stretched, which will be disadvantageous to us."

In fact, Dong Zhe was very satisfied with the current situation. Retaking Yanhui Pass was something he had never dared to dream of before. His plan for the rest of his life was to protect Yanhui Pass and never let it fall into the hands of the enemy again.

Ji Ping also said: "Yes, sir, you just denounced the Yilin Army, I am afraid there are still some unusual movements over there."

Even Tan Feng followed suit and said, "Sir, there's no point in chasing him anymore, right?"

This was the first time that everyone opposed Lu Chenyang's opinion.

Lu Chenyang shook his head: "Now is the best time. We must cripple the Tatars and scare them so that they dare not come again."

The three generals looked at each other. Because Lu Chenyang was so powerful, they did not dare to speak out against him, but silence was a form of passive resistance.

Lu Chenyang said, "You guys go down and prepare first. I will lead the troops myself this time."

“No!”

“That won’t do!”

"Think again, sir!"

The three people spoke in unison, all expressing opposition, even more intensely than their opposition to Lu Chenyang.

Lu Chenyang personally led his troops deep into enemy territory? How was this any different from the sky falling?

Lu Chenyang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I cherish my life very much and I don't want to die. I have already made up my mind about this matter, you guys go and prepare first."

The three of them combined couldn't beat Lu Chenyang, and the three cobblers were so anxious that they were running around in circles.

It’s too late to call for reinforcements now. Anyone in this world who can persuade Lu Chenyang is just a drop in the bucket.

But Tan Feng thought of it: "Madam!"

Ji Ping and Zu Xingwei suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

Ji Ping said: "That's right, Brother Feng, please ask your wife to come and persuade the master. Now only your wife can persuade the master."

Wang Shi hadn't left yet. She hadn't seen Lu Chenyang for a long time and wanted to spend some time with him. Wang Shi was taking good care of the wounded soldiers in the army, so this kind of life was good for her.

Tan Feng hesitated for a moment, but still went to find Wang.

In reality, Tan Feng had overstepped his bounds, so Ji Ping and Zu Xingwei had asked him to contact Wang. Tan Feng knew their intentions, but he fell for them anyway. Lu Chenyang's safety was at stake, and even if he would be blamed by him, he couldn't care less.

Wang didn't understand the war, but when she heard that Lu Chenyang might be in danger, and what Tan Feng said made sense, she thought about it and agreed.

Wang walked into Lu Chenyang's tent carrying a bowl of sour soup. At this time, Lu Chenyang was still handling official business.

Wang's eyes were filled with distress. It was late at night, but he still couldn't rest. This wasn't just one day, but every day. She had been in the army for so long, and seeing her busy every day was really heartbreaking.

"Drink some soup. I heard you haven't had much of an appetite lately." Wang said.

Lu Chenyang raised his head and was stunned for a moment: "Mom, why are you here?"
