But the other party not only broke this convention.
It’s done very well.
How can I not admire it?
"My beloved, do you think Song Hongzhi can capture Gaoping City?" Wei Yunyi felt a little sad when he heard the other party's words.
But it was too late to say anything now. The only thing he wanted to know was whether his brother-in-law could capture Gaoping City.
Because if the other party really did this, then almost half of the Gaoyang Kingdom would be destroyed.
In this way, I don't know how much my luck will skyrocket...
to be honest.
Wei Yunyi really doesn't know much about military affairs.
Even if you understand the situation clearly, it is still difficult to analyze the final result.
It just so happens that Concubine Ying’s father is Marquis Shenwu, and he must know more about this than I do, so I want to hear her opinion.
After all, he is really scared now, and his brother-in-law really did it.
"Capture Gaoping City?" Zhao Lingying thought for a moment, then said, "Young Master-uncle only has 800 men under his command. Even though they are elite soldiers, they have already experienced the Battle of Licheng. I'm afraid they will be injured and need to rest. Moreover, Licheng is 600 to 700 miles away from the Gaoyang capital. Even if we rush there, I'm afraid we won't be able to engage in a battle immediately."
"Of course, there's another point. Gaoping City is the capital after all. In terms of defense, it's definitely much stronger than Li City. It has at least 10,000 troops stationed there. Therefore, it's almost impossible to capture the Gaoyang capital."
At this point, she looked at Wei Yunyi and said with a smile: "But I think that Your Majesty's request should not be too high."
At this moment, in Zhao Lingying's eyes, His Majesty was still not satisfied with the results of Song Hongzhi's trip.
It was just the capture of the second city wall of Gaoyang Kingdom.
There doesn't seem to be much difference in the situation.
After all, Gaoyang’s army is still there.
And this battle.
What is at stake is the dignity of the entire Wei Dynasty, and the other party must pay the price in blood.
Only in this way can we declare to all the countries that the Great Wei cannot be humiliated.
But obviously, the young prince has not done this yet.
He thought that if he could conquer the capital of Gaoyang, that would be a real victory.
Otherwise, why would Your Majesty ask the other party the same question?
But Zhao Lingying felt.
Taking over Licheng was already a success. At least it threw the Xuancheng garrison into disarray and disrupted their plans.
Moreover, it was Song Hongzhi's first time to lead an army on the battlefield, and his achievements were already better than those of many generals in the imperial court.
So at this time, she felt she had to say something.
"Oh? Really?"
Next to him, Wei Yunyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard these words.
He was indeed afraid of his brother-in-law, so he actually conquered the capital of Gaoyang and captured all the members of the Gaoyang royal family alive.
But after hearing Zhao Lingying's analysis, he immediately felt relieved. Because what the other party said was not without reason. No matter how weak Gaoyang was, it was still a country. How could they possibly break the city with only 800 people?
Besides, the enemy has already known about my brother-in-law's actions. Under the current circumstances, can the attack on Licheng be as smooth as before?
Although the current situation was not what Wei Yunyi wanted, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was acceptable.
Even the army of Gaoyang Kingdom has not suffered any losses.
There is definitely still room for a fight.
As long as my brother-in-law fails to capture Gaoping City, the war is not over yet and there is still room for recovery.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi was no longer as nervous as before. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, attacking Gaoping City is too risky. I don't think the young prince would be so impulsive. Even if he doesn't consider himself, he needs to consider the 800 men under his command."
"But my beloved concubine is right. The young prince's battle was indeed unexpected, and it achieved a result that no one expected."
"No matter what, he has done a great job. When he comes back, I will reward him handsomely!"
Having said that.
But rewards are just talk.
Because he knew very well that if this situation really happened and the other party continued to fight, God knew what would happen.
So what Wei Yunyi was thinking about was waiting for his brother-in-law to return to Liaozhen after he failed to capture Gaoping City.
He directly recalled the other party to the capital.
Then temporarily postpone the military action against Gaoyang State.
After all, there are only a few days left until the end of the month.
After much difficulty, he waited for the Jiangnan gentry to start a riot, which weakened the fortune of the Wei Dynasty.
If my plan is disrupted by my brother-in-law at this time, it would be really tragic.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Lingying naturally had no objection. Rewarding those who have made contributions is the ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty.
She paused and continued, "Then, Your Majesty, should the Empress not know about this?"
Even though the former court was buzzing with discussions, no one in the harem dared to say anything about the news of Song Hongzhi's thousand-mile raid.
Everyone knows that the queen is weak and now that she has an heir, she cannot stand any stimulation.
Otherwise, what if something happens.
No one can afford it.
But now that we have won a victory, the situation is completely different.
However, Wei Yunyi shook his head slightly and continued, "It's better not to tell the Queen yet. Wait until the young uncle returns safely."
After all, it's not over yet. Victory does not mean safety. If I say it out loud, it will undoubtedly make the other party still worried.
The best way now is to continue to hide it and not say more.
Zhao Lingying also nodded.
Just like when her father went to war, even though he always returned safely, her mother was always worried. Only when she saw him in person would she feel relieved.
