Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 860: Your father never extended a helping hand
She lowered her eyes.

I may never have a chance to experience such love in my life.

Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head, confusion and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, with Brother Zhou Jing here, how could you be able to break through the city gate, and how could you be captured?"

After hearing these words, the Crown Princess of Chu sobbed.

I originally picked up the porridge bowl and wanted to take a sip, but now I couldn't drink any more.

She put down the porridge bowl with hatred in her eyes.

"General Zhou may be in trouble."

Is brother Zhou Jing in danger?

Xiang Yingxue broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sister-in-law, what on earth is going on?

Didn’t Brother Zhou Jing already take control of the military?

Otherwise, how could I lead you to occupy Wan'an City? "

The Crown Princess of Chu sighed.

"General Zhou is indeed brave and captured Wan'an City effortlessly.

But he also offended many courtiers who focused on defense rather than attack. They did not want to offend but did not dare to offend the Yan State.

At the court, some ministers said that the battle in the border town was only a narrow victory and would not last long.

Chu's military strength was far inferior to that of Yan.

If we just defend the territory of Chu State, there is still the possibility of seeking alliance with Yan State in the future.

But once they capture their city, they will surely receive fierce revenge from the State of Yan and King Chen.

And this kind of revenge is something Chu State cannot bear.

not to mention."

The Crown Princess of Chu looked complicated.

"Defending the city is the duty of the city defender, but to attack other countries, you must obtain the emperor's order.

General Zhou has been in the army for many years, so he naturally understands this.

However, he was too eager to change you back.

Without warning or asking for instructions, he directly led the troops to attack. "

After hearing this, Xiang Yingxue was completely silent.

Although she hates the Yan Kingdom, Brother Zhou Jing is indeed a bit rash.

Her heart was full of mixed emotions.

After a moment, he continued to ask: "What happened next?
Compared with Yan Bing, we are weak in offense and strong in defense.

Since brother Zhou Jing can capture Wan'an City, how can he not be able to defend it? "

"Because...he was recalled to Kyoto." Recalled to Kyoto!

Xiang Yingxue slammed the table and stood up angrily.

"Whose order is this!
Who is so stupid as to call the general back to Beijing during the war?

Isn't this giving up the border city of Chu to others? "

However, seeing the complicated eyes of the Crown Princess of Chu, she suddenly understood.

Besides her beloved father, who else could make such a decision?
Xiang Yingxue sat down slowly.

He said thoughtfully: "Although my father is fatuous, he would not have made such a stupid decision easily if no one had interfered.

Is it the Zheng family? "

The Crown Princess of Chu nodded.

"Exactly.

The people in the border towns have been bullied by the barbarians of the Yan State for a long time, and the benevolent people of the Chu State have long had grudges.

The imperial court was cowardly and had nothing to do.

Although he did not ask for the emperor's orders in the battle to capture Wan'an City.

But it inspired the hearts of the people.

Your imperial brother has also become the best candidate to succeed the throne.

And General Zhou, a famous general with military power, was willing to assist him.

How can the Zheng family feel at ease?

They tried every means to persuade the emperor and recalled General Zhou in the name of reward based on merit. "

"Is Father crazy?
Brother Zhou Jing has returned to Yongchun City. Who will guard Wan'an City? "

Xiang Yingxue became excited again.

The Crown Princess of Chu smiled coldly.

"They also know that your father is not that stupid.

So he made up some lies, saying that General Zhou was resentful because his family was imprisoned.

This time I captured Wan'an City in order to get you back.

And you also hold a grudge because the emperor never extended a helping hand when you were in trouble.

You even believed the rumor that the emperor planned to send you to King Chen for waste. "

Having said this, the Crown Princess of Chu paused for a moment and observed Princess Yingxue's expression.

Seeing that she didn't seem to suspect anything, he sighed and continued:
"They said that after you return to Chu, you and General Zhou are likely to work together to force your father to abdicate and help your brother succeed to the throne!"

"Father, do you even believe this?"
