Chapter 2257: Mistaken
Everyone in the Sun family was unanimous in their desire to go, but no one knew what had happened to the Second Prince this time. He was extremely stubborn and adamant, and refused to agree no matter what.
Not to mention agreeing to attack, he was anxiously praying for the blessing of his ancestors and praying to God that Shao Yunduan must win! If he didn't know that the Sun family would never agree, he would have wanted to send troops to assist Shao Yunduan.
After all, he is the emperor, and he has always given enough face to the Sun family. This time he insisted on his own opinion, and the Sun family could not refuse to give him face. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor?
The Sun family is not entirely foolish. At least General Sun has already realized that the people of the Sun family are becoming more and more arrogant and disrespectful of the emperor, which has caused dissatisfaction among many ministers.
Although those ministers did not dare to say a word openly, they had many complaints in private.
If the Sun family continues like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.
Although it's a pity that we can't take advantage of Huaixi for the time being, it's also a good idea to let Shao Yunduan and the Third Prince fight each other until they are both injured, so that we can take care of both places together in the future.
General Sun then made a statement, saying that this time they had to listen to the emperor's orders, dividing the troops to fight was a big taboo, and they should first concentrate their forces to deal with the fourth prince, and strive to recapture the capital as soon as possible and wipe out the traitors who stole the country!
This statement gave the Sun family a way out, and the second prince also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Pu was very unhappy, and of course he wanted to take advantage of the situation!
In his eyes, who was Shao Yunduan? He was guarding a place as small as a sesame seed in Huaixi, which could be completely destroyed by a gust of wind and rain.
What Dad said about “fighting on two fronts” doesn’t make sense. Is Shao Yunduan worthy of being called one side?
He even requested to lead a troop of 20,000 to 30,000 men to attack Huaixi, to seize the province for the emperor and to avenge the previous humiliation, but the second prince rejected it without hesitation. In addition, his own father also disagreed, so Sun Pu had to give up in resentment.
In his heart, however, he was resentful towards the Second Prince, full of complaints and contempt - with the Emperor's courage, it would be too difficult for him to accomplish great things!
He was lucky to have the support of the Sun family, otherwise, he would not have had a chance to fight for the world...
No one expected that the war between Huaixi Province and the Su family would last from early April to the end of the year.
Since Su Huai's group surrendered to the Third Prince, they have been able to take over various places in Jiangnan very smoothly. Even if there were occasional resistance, they were quickly defeated under their swift and fierce attacks with increased firepower.
But this time, they met their opponents in Jinhua City.
With their unruly tactics, they couldn't gain any advantage against Zheng Sangge at all.
With Shao Yunduan's full support and no shortage of supplies and weapons, it would be impossible for Su Huai and his men to capture cities and territories by relying on their brute force and fearlessness as they did before.
Not only did they fail to capture Jinhua City in one fell swoop, but they were also tricked by Zheng Sangge and had to retreat fifty miles.
Zheng Sangge took the opportunity to repair the temporary military fortress and pushed the defense line forward 20 miles. Although it was a temporary repair, it could definitely effectively block the Su family's attack.
It was naturally impossible for Su Huai to admit defeat easily. Losing this battle only aroused his competitive spirit and violence.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was extremely fierce.
Originally, both sides thought that the war could be ended within a month at most, but when everyone came to their senses and counted carefully, more than two months had passed.
