Chapter 459 Prince VS Little Brother 59

Now, the Emperor of Nanzhao felt a little resentful towards the Second Prince. After all, if the Second Prince had not been so fond of war, how could the powerful Dayong have set its sights on Nanzhao?

Looking back on the past, there had been many frictions and conflicts between Nanzhao and Dayong, and every confrontation ended with Dayong's victory.

Especially that time, if General Fu Nanzhan had not been secretly poisoned by them, perhaps the entire Nanzhao would have ceased to exist!

Faced with such a complex and difficult situation, the Nanzhao Emperor pondered for a long time but still failed to come up with a perfect plan.

The ministers in the court were arguing over this matter. Some advocated fighting the enemy with all their might;

There were also those who advocated resolving the dispute through peaceful negotiations. Thus, the two sides remained deadlocked, each expressing their own views, and neither could convince the other.

However, after a long period of verbal sparring, the opinions of those generals who were eager to fight in the battlefield and show their prowess finally prevailed and successfully overwhelmed the peace-loving side represented by the prince.

The Nanzhao emperor was finally persuaded and decided to go to war with Dayong.

On the battlefield where flames of war were raging everywhere, the army of Dayong was like a tiger out of its cage, advancing with unstoppable force.

Behind its rapid momentum, the abundant supply of food and grass is undoubtedly a solid backing, like an endless stream of living water, nourishing this torrent of steel.

At first, Lieutenant General Xu and his soldiers were full of doubts. Where did the mountains of food and fodder come from?

This mysterious supply line seems to be hidden behind thick fog, making it difficult to grasp.

However, General Feng waved his hand nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, "What are you guys thinking about? If you have the time, you should think about how to win the battle!"

Anyway, we have food and drink now. The prince has great powers and can get us food. This is a great thing. We should just eat it as usual!"

Although General Feng usually looks rough, bold and reckless, he is actually very meticulous and knows how to grasp the key points in this complex situation and not be hindered by unnecessary problems.

Fu Nanzhan had never thought he could get away with it. After all, there was a severe drought in Dayong last year and food and grass were limited. However, since no one asked him, he was too lazy to come up with an excuse or make up a story, so this was just right.

Under the wise command of Fu Nanzhan, Dayong cleverly formed a pincer attack with the border troops, putting Nanzhao into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.

The Nanzhao army was thrown into chaos, and the cities they had previously captured were lost one after another like candles in the wind.

Not only that, the main force led by Fu Nanzhan was like a heavenly army, and captured an important city of Nanzhao with a crushing force. At the same time, the defenders on the border between Dayong and Nanzhao also cooperated tacitly and successfully captured another city.

The Nanzhao court suddenly became a mess, with ministers looking at each other and quarrels breaking out one after another.

The army had already suffered severe damage due to the successive losses of several capable generals, and now it was helpless in the face of the fierce offensive of Dayong.

In desperation, Nanzhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for peace from Dayong, trying to exchange humiliating conditions for a moment of peace.

As for Northern Qi, it watched coldly from the sidelines from beginning to end, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity.

Although the troops of Nanzhao and Dayong had suffered heavy losses in the war, Northern Qi knew that it would not be wise to rashly provoke a war at this time.

After all, the morale of Dayong is now high, like a raging fire. If we fight to the death with it regardless of everything, I am afraid that Nanzhao will reap the benefits.

What's more, once the morale ignited by victory explodes, the Dayong army will certainly fight to the death. Northern Qi does not know for sure that it can withstand this crazy force.

After much deliberation, Northern Qi finally gave up the idea of ​​attacking and chose peace in order to protect itself.

Nanzhao's peace envoys arrived at Dayong's camp with full sincerity and a humiliating treaty.

They were willing to offer five rich cities, mountains of gold and silver treasures, and even a princess, hoping to appease the anger of Dayong and end this cruel war through marriage.

After receiving Fu Runze's secret letter and confirming that the two sides had reached an agreement, Fu Nanzhan began to arrange for the army to return to the court.

It was June, the sun was scorching, and the cicadas were chirping.

Fu Nanzhan looked at the return journey in the distance and estimated in his heart that if the entire army returned together, the journey would be long, and coupled with the hot summer weather, the marching speed would inevitably be slow. It would probably take several months to reach the capital.

Thinking of my husband at home, the longing surged into my heart like a tide, and I couldn't wait for a moment.

So he made a decisive decision to let the calm and reliable General Feng lead the army slowly, while he himself galloped towards the capital at full speed.

Along the way, Fu Nanzhan slept in the open air, traveled day and night, and the dust raised by his horse's hooves formed a long smoke screen behind him.
