Chapter 452: Peace
General Hu took advantage of the chaos to attack Jiang Guo's military camp and even beheaded the head of one of the enemy generals. Not to love war was General Hu's guarantee to the second prince, and after a quick battle, he led people to evacuate quickly.
When General Hu came back with his entourage, the second prince was already waiting in the barracks. The soldiers stationed there naturally learned of the second prince's plan, and they were all looking forward to the return of General Hu with great excitement.
Before he saw General Hu, the second prince heard his laughter. can still smile so heartily, it must be that this action is very successful, and the second prince's hanging heart can be regarded as falling.
General Hu walked out of the darkness and came to the second prince, "Second prince, now the enemy army must be in chaos and cannot be defeated. General Hu patted his chest proudly, although he is also old now, his ability to fight has not weakened in the slightest.
"It's good to come back safely." The prince's main purpose was to burn the enemy's grain and grass, and whether he could take the opportunity to weaken their forces depended on the situation.
The second prince and General Hu returned safely, which is the best. Hearing that they had thrown the enemy camp into a mess, everyone was so excited that they raised their arms and shouted in cheer: "Second prince! Second Prince! Second Prince! ”
The second prince was able to gain the trust and support of the soldiers here, but it was very beneficial to the future struggle for the crown. However, all this is also because the second prince himself is brave and resourceful, so that the soldiers are really willing to follow him.
The enemy's military camp was already scarce in terms of grain and grass, but now it was burned down by the second prince, which made it even worse. Now that the morale of the army has been greatly reduced, if they do not end this war quickly, the final result can only be that they will be annihilated in one fell swoop.
If the fight fails, then make peace. Jiang Guoren naturally hated the second prince very much in his heart, and felt that his behavior was shameful, and the dignified prince would do a sneak attack to burn the grain and grass, which was really a loss of identity. In this regard, the second prince does not care very much, there is a good saying, soldiers are not tired of cheating, there is only the difference between losing and winning on the battlefield, it doesn't matter which way to use. Besides, didn't Jiang Guo first attack Daqi to trigger this war, but now he is on the side of morality to condemn them.
I want to think so, but in the face of such a grim situation, the only thing Jiang Guoren can do now is to reconcile. Jiang Guoren is rude and ferocious, regardless of martial arts, just the strength of the gas type, Daqi people can't compare to Jiang Guo, since Jiang Guo opened his mouth and intended to surrender, why should Daqi want to fight to the death?
The second prince passed the current news of the border pass to the emperor, and soon after, the border pass received the holy decree sent by the emperor quickly, and Daqi was willing to accept Jiang Guo's peace, but hoped that Jiang Guo could show a little sincerity.
Jiang Guo is not just as simple as asking for peace, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to reach some kind of agreement with Daqi, it is best that Daqi can guarantee the supply of Jiang Guo's materials in the future, so that they don't have to fight everywhere and plunder resources.
This reconciliation is not only an excellent opportunity for Jiang Guo, but also for Daqi. The reason why Daqi attaches so much importance to the defense of the border pass is that he is worried about the sudden attack of Jiang Guoren, if Jiang Guo promises not to attack in the future, Daqi can rest assured, and he does not have to be afraid when he hears the word Jiang Guo. So, it's a thing that benefits both parties.
Jiang was hit hard and promised to reconcile, so he would not attack again. The second prince made a meritorious contribution this time, and the emperor specially issued an order to let him return to Beijing immediately.
This time, like the last relief, it was a triumph. As soon as the second prince arrived at the gate of the capital, he saw the people who came to greet him, and the second prince had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The second prince didn't have time to return to his Yiwang Mansion, and rushed to the palace non-stop. Originally. The prince should not wear a military uniform and face the saint, but the emperor's summons was urgent, and the second prince did not have time to return home to change into regular clothes. But the emperor was not angry because of this, and now in his eyes, the second prince is good anywhere, how can he still be angry with him?
The emperor walked around the second prince, then stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him with great satisfaction: "He is worthy of being my son, and he has the demeanor of me." "I think back then, the emperor in his twenties was also high-spirited, and when he fought on the battlefield, he also made the enemy fearful. Now, the second prince is so heroic, the emperor seems to see himself back then.
The second prince is now in front of the emperor, but he has to play a humble and polite person. He was not complacent about the emperor's praise, but modestly replied to the emperor and said: "Protecting the family and defending the country is what a son should do. ”
"Okay, well said, this is like what a man should say." The emperor is in high spirits today, and he is even more happy to look at the second prince. The emperor paced, thinking about what kind of reward should be given to the second prince for this matter?
The gold, silver and jewelry definitely can't show the importance of the emperor to the second prince, and the emperor walks back and forth, obviously a little undecided. As soon as he raised his head and looked at the top of the second prince's head, he suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, tomorrow in the court, I want to announce that I will crown you as the Prince of Liuzhu." The emperor seemed to have solved the confusion in his heart, and looked at the second prince with great satisfaction.
The second prince was really a little surprised, you must know that he is only the prince of Sizhu now, and he was crowned as Liuzhu all of a sudden, which was something that had never happened before. The second prince hurriedly bowed his hand, bowed his head and persuaded the emperor and said: "Please also ask my father to think twice, sealing two beads in a row is not in line with the etiquette system, I am afraid that the ministers will have complaints." ”
Hearing the second prince say this, the emperor was still a little unhappy. He flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe, snorted coldly and said, "I want to see what they can say?" You have made such a contribution, do they still feel arrogant when you seal the two beads? ”
The second prince pretended to look at the emperor with a panicked face, if the emperor really did this, the eldest prince and the six princes and the people of the party would definitely oppose it vigorously, "Father, the son knows that the father and the emperor value the son, but this matter is really not in accordance with the etiquette law, and the son does not want the ministers to talk about the father, so I hope that the father can change his mind." The second prince's words were sincere, which made the emperor moved.
The emperor looked at the second prince and felt a little guilty in his heart, all these years, he really ignored the second prince, "If you only seal one pearl, will you be unhappy in your heart?" ”
The second prince looked at the emperor in horror, then quickly knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said, "Erchen doesn't dare." ”
The caution of the second prince made the emperor feel a little distressed, and the emperor bent down and stretched out his hands to help the second prince up.
