With the surrender of the Shu army, Lu Yun can be said to have won today's battle!
They were successfully rescued and not only captured many soldiers and horses from the Shu Kingdom, but also took away their food!
There will be a steady supply of food in the future, but this time, he is going to start negotiating conditions and stab his allies in the back. The Shu court must know about this, so negotiations are necessary!
We don't have to fight a war, but there must be an explanation for this matter, and an explanation must be given to all the soldiers of the Great Zhou!
The next morning.
The army returned to the capital, and Lu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their feint attack on the Miao Kingdom in the south had also returned.
The lives of the soldiers of the three armies were saved, and they now finally had food to eat.
But there are still enemies eyeing them from all directions, so they still cannot let their guard down.
…
Great Zhou, the capital city.
As the news of the Shu army's betrayal spread back to the Great Zhou, the government and the public were shocked!
They never imagined that the soldiers of the Great Zhou went to help the Kingdom of Shu, but unexpectedly they were betrayed by their allies and almost got trapped in the city.
If it weren't for Eunuch Lu's proper command, another tragedy would probably have happened.
By then, they would have lost more than they gained. Fortunately, Eunuch Lu was very brave and directly defeated the Shu army and captured the traitors.
Prime Minister Wang Anshi thought about what had happened recently, looked at the emperor behind the screen, and said anxiously.
"What!"
Ye Jiajia was sitting behind the screen. She had never expected that camping would be so dangerous. If she had known this, she should have gone to help him.
But now he can only sit in this palace and continue to play the role of the so-called fake emperor.
When she thought of this, Ye Jiajia felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to do...
"According to the Prime Minister's opinion, what should we do?"
"This matter must be caused by someone in the Shu Kingdom's court, and we must not tolerate it. We must make them pay for their blood debt with blood!
Those who betray us must not be allowed to stay, even if it means stopping the war with the Miao Kingdom."
"Too……"
Just then, Chen Yuaner walked in anxiously.
"Her Majesty the Consort requests an audience."
"Your Majesty, this matter is definitely caused by someone in the Shu Kingdom's court deliberately provoking conflicts between the two countries. Someone did this on purpose, and my eldest brother is definitely not that kind of person.
My brother, he has always been upright, but his brain is not very bright."
"So the most likely scenario is that someone is trying to sow discord! Such a treacherous minister must not be allowed to remain here. Your Majesty, I beg you to discern this clearly."
Wang An was stunned for a moment. In fact, he was thinking about holding the Shu emperor and the entire Shu Kingdom accountable! If all else failed, he could just attack Shu directly. It didn't matter!
What the Shu Kingdom did was truly abominable.
Especially Eunuch Lu, who had led a large army to defeat the army of Shu Kingdom, and had a huge advantage. At this moment, Shu Kingdom no longer had any qualifications to negotiate!
Even if they were still able to send out a large army, they would still be no match for the enemy.
At this time, Shu Kingdom was truly eyeing the situation covetously. It had offended the Great Zhou and had also formed a feud with the Miao Kingdom. Let's see what they would do.
"I know about this matter. What is your opinion, Prime Minister?"
Wang An was stunned for a moment. Since the virtuous concubine had said so just now, he must give her face. Besides, he couldn't make things too awkward.
Once a real war breaks out, the Shu Kingdom will be so cowardly, insidious and cunning.
If they unite with the Miao Kingdom again, it will be a danger to the Great Zhou.
"Now we should send an envoy as soon as possible to have a proper discussion with Eunuch Lu."
"We must also inform the Kingdom of Shu as soon as possible. If they do not intend to negotiate with our army, then don't blame the ruthless cavalry of the Great Zhou for charging directly at the enemy!"
After these words were spoken, Ye Jiajia, who was sitting inside, also breathed a sigh of relief. She was just a fake emperor and didn't know much about the affairs of the court.
Naturally, he didn't know how to handle this matter. With Prime Minister Wang around, he could help him share a lot of pressure.
"In that case, then, as Prime Minister Wang said, we must send an envoy to meet with Eunuch Lu as soon as possible, and at the same time, inform the Kingdom of Shu!"
"I really didn't expect that such a ridiculous thing could happen on the battlefield."
"They probably don't understand their own situation. The Shu army doesn't seem to be that strong."
“…”
Shu Kingdom, Furong City.
In the court.
The news that the Shu army was defeated in the Stone Valley soon spread back, which shocked the court and the people!
Unexpectedly, the strategy proposed by Prime Minister Zhang actually failed!
They had already succeeded, they had already achieved half of it, but the army of the Great Zhou was so brave that they launched a surprise attack at night, catching the Shu Kingdom off guard.
In terms of key military forces, the Great Zhou did not have the advantage.
But they still defeated the Shu army. Now even the general has been captured. I am afraid that the Zhou will be very angry after committing such a betrayal.
"Your Majesty, we are also responsible for what happened on the front line, but the general has been captured. If we cannot reconcile with him."
"Then I'm afraid that the Great Zhou will declare war on my Shu Kingdom, and we will not be able to resist at all."
"More importantly, the Miao Kingdom is also watching us closely. If the two sides unite, we will be completely finished."
"this……"
Emperor Chen Mu was sitting on the dragon throne, and he was also very flustered. He thought that this matter was bound to succeed.
But they didn't expect that the final result would be like this. They really overestimated the strength of their own Shu army and underestimated the Great Zhou.
"Prime Minister Zhang, Zhang He!"
"This was all your idea. You told me to do this. General Zhou has already warned us, but you simply didn't listen. Now this has happened again. What is your punishment? What do you think?"
"Zhang He! I need an explanation from you."
Zhang He was also very frightened at this moment. He certainly knew the emperor's temper. Moreover, the matter had become so serious because of his own willfulness and dissuasion.
It was because of his strategy that the Shu army was in such a situation.
But... he had no choice, he was also panicking.
Who could have thought that the army of the Great Zhou could be so powerful!
The army led by their general was completely powerless to resist and was captured in one night.
Is it really that powerful?
"Your Majesty, we still need to prevent our Shu army from suffering too many casualties. I heard that they just surrendered and are still keeping us... I guess they want to negotiate with our Shu."
"Then we can only do this..."
"You! Zhang He, it's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea."
