"King, we have taken a city from them, and it should be easy to attack them again." Some short-sighted generals said.

"Yes, we have captured a city, but so what, don't forget that our losses are serious. If we rush out of the city to fight now, I am afraid that our losses will be even greater. "The king of Fanjiang is a more thoughtful person in the end, listening to his proposals, he is obviously in a hurry, but he doesn't dare to attack rashly.

"King, if we keep waiting like this, we will really starve to death!" Some generals were very anxious and said to the king of Fanjiang.

"You are right, we are in a harsh environment, we grow just enough food to eat and drink all year round, and now after years of war, our people are already suffering. If we continue to drag on like this, not only will our army be dragged down, but I believe that our people will have an even more difficult life. "The king of Fanjiang is actually a person who loves the people like a son, and he doesn't know what to do after thinking about it.

"King, I don't think there is any way, we have to take the initiative, only by taking the lead, we will have a chance to occupy their city again. You think that if we take their city, we will have enough food and food to replenish us, and we will not have to suffer from cold and hunger in this place anymore. You know, only a small number of our soldiers have entered the city, and most of the rest are still outside in the cold. The generals of Fanjiang began to say very sadly, they felt that the soldiers outside were really too hard.

"You're right, if it weren't for the sake of food, we wouldn't have to fight the Qing soldiers every day. You must know that we are not willing to invade others, because to invade others is to destroy ourselves. You think that when war breaks out, it will be our people who will suffer first. The king of Fanjiang hugged his head and said with a headache, every time he saw the disasters brought by the war to the people, he always felt unspeakable guilt in his heart, and always felt that he was sorry for all the people in the world.

Su Fan is a person who does not offend him, he will never offend anyone, and now for so many days, he has never made any move when he sees that the king of Fanjiang, which makes him inexplicably anxious in his heart. I thought that the 20,000 troops I brought with me couldn't just wait like this, knowing that sitting on the mountain would bring disaster to all the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the king of Xinjiang has not moved, do we have to stay like this forever?" Sun Tao couldn't help it, looked at Su Fan and asked very seriously.

"Sun Tao, we have no other way but to wait now, if we take the initiative to attack others, it will easily bring us greater disasters, although we have lost a city now, but we should not attack others first." Su Fan said to Sun Tao very seriously, hoping that Sun Tao could understand their current situation.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken, the city that the king of Xinjiang occupied was originally from our Qing Dynasty. Now, if we don't take the initiative, are we going to give our city to them just like that? Sun Tao couldn't hold his breath at this time, and felt that Su Fan, the emperor, was too fooled.

"Yes, the city is ours, but what can we do? You said that if we go in blindly now, I believe that the people there will be hurt again. I was thinking about how to get all the soldiers out of the city, so that the damage to the people inside could be reduced. Su Fan told Sun Tao what he thought in his heart, hoping that Sun Tao could understand his hardships.

"Your Majesty, those Fanjiang soldiers are frozen outside, and now they have finally attacked that city to have a place to rest, how can they take the initiative to withdraw from the city, this is simply impossible. Even if we send troops to fight, they may not come out, and you think if we don't send troops all the time, they will definitely not come out. Sun Tao analyzed with Su Fan, hoping that Su Fan could recognize the reality and stop being delusional.

"I have gone to the city to see their tents, and although this great king of the frontier has taken possession of our city, he has not killed our people. We should not attack and kill our people again, but now we must find a way to mobilize them out of the city, so that we can reduce the harm of the people in the city. Su Fan analyzed the situation he had probed with Sun Tao and all the generals.

Listening to Su Fan's words, the generals who had Zhao Hu left behind said to Su Fan: "Your Majesty, do you know? In the past, every time we occupied a city in their territory, we would always burn their city, kill it all, and implement the three-light policy. Why does this king of Fanjiang seem to be a vicious man, and he has taken over our city but has not done anything? It stands to reason that when their soldiers occupy our city, they should also implement the policy of burning and killing all of them and robbing them all. ”

"It turns out that you used to fight like this, no wonder it caused so much hatred between the two sides. Do you think that if you kill, rob and burn all the people of Fanjiang, can they not hate you? Can I not fight with you? However, although the king of Fanjiang has occupied our city, he is very friendly to the people in our city. Do you think that if we rush into it now, the people in our city will not only not help us, but will help the king of the frontier. Su Fan told the other generals everything he had seen in the city occupied by the King of Fanjiang.

"Your Majesty, what you said is unlikely, did our people betray us so quickly? You must know that they are people from our Qing Dynasty, how can they face the people of that frontier? All the generals said in disbelief, thinking that Su Fan was just talking nonsense with his eyes open.

"I'm right, you must know that all the people just want to live in peace and contentment, and every time we fight, we always burn down and invade other towns, but this king of Fanjiang does things differently. He has invaded our cities, but he has done good to our people, and our people will think that they are very good, and they will naturally turn to them. If we rush in now, the people will definitely suffer, and naturally not only will they not turn against us, but they will help them, and you will do the same, this is the truth! Do you think that if you follow me, I am very cruel, will you still be willing to follow me? Su Fan said to these generals in his heart, hoping that they could understand the mentality of the people in the city.

"Your Majesty, since you said the king of Fanjiang so well, how should we fight next? Are we really going to give them our city? The generals left behind by Zhao Hu said very unconvinced, they felt that Zhao Hu was dead or alive in order to keep the city, and if the emperor let them occupy it like this, he would be too sorry for Zhao Hu.

"I think we have to make a break between the Qing Dynasty and Fanjiang. But we can't fight in the city, if we have any other way, we have to think of another way. Su Fan still didn't want to cause a war, although he brought 20,000 people, but he wanted to bring them back safely, and didn't want to lose a single soldier of his own.

Looking at Su Fan's decision to delay the delay in sending troops to fight, all the generals were very dissatisfied and whispered in private: "Our emperor is really too sloppy, speaking of which is a royal expedition, it seems that he is so majestic, but in fact, he is a timid person." You see that the king of Xinjiang scolded us on the battlefield as a bloody dog, and he didn't say a word. Some generals began to provoke, hoping that everyone would stop listening to Su Fan's words, of course, these generals were also bought by the second prince.

Sun Tao saw that Su Fan was not going to fight, and there was infighting among the soldiers, which made him have to be very anxious, and secretly came to Su Fan's side at night when no one was there and said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers all have negative emotions, what should we do next?" You'd better hurry up and take action. ”

"Sun Tao, you don't care about all this, just let these soldiers do it. You must know that these people are not honest if they don't do good. "The reason why Su Fan has been holding his troops all the time is to see which of these troops he brought are the people of the second prince, and he plans to take the opportunity to take them down.

Some people couldn't hold their breath and felt that Su Fan had always refused to send troops to fight, and they were even unconvinced and began to secretly support the second prince, and some even blatantly flaunted the banner of the second prince. This made Sun Tao very anxious, and he kept reporting to Su Fan many times, hoping that Su Fan could take measures quickly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the people of the second prince have colluded with the people on the side of the king of Fanjiang, if you don't take measures again, if the people of the second prince and the people on the other side of Fanjiang join forces, I am afraid we will be finished." Sun Tao said very anxiously, he felt that Su Fan couldn't go on like this, otherwise the entire army's morale would be weakened, and he was afraid that he would be defeated without a fight.

"Oh, is it as serious as you say? Looks like I'm really going to get the army in order. Su Fan saw that Sun Tao was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, and he said very seriously.

"Your Majesty, how are you going to organize the army?" Sun Tao was very curious, he didn't know what countermeasures Su Fan would come up with next.

"It's very simple, first notify all the generals to come to the meeting, and say that I am about to go on an expedition!" Su Fan said very domineeringly, you must know that he has been lying in bed and missing Valing for the past few days, but Valing has never appeared, which makes him a little suspicious of Xiaolian and Qingqing's statements, and feels that they are lying to him.

Su Fan is the emperor in the end, although he has not sent troops, which has made many people disagree with him, but now after the general order is issued, all the generals will soon appear in front of him.

Sitting in the huge camp tent, Su Fan looked at all the generals and said: "Now our soldiers are divided into two factions, everyone listen to me, Zhang Sanzhao, four kings, five factions, Li Dazhao, six and Cui Er, you are one faction." ”

All the generals didn't know what Su Fan was going to do, but when they heard Su Fan say this, they immediately obediently divided into two factions, looking at each other and not knowing what to do next.

Seeing that all the people didn't react, Su Fan put his finger to his mouth and whistled, and soon dozens of hardcover soldiers came out, only to see them standing heroically in front of everyone, which made these people panic and didn't know what was going on.

"Tie up Zhang San, Zhao Si, Wang Wu, and all of them for me." Su Fan waved his hand and said very domineeringly.

These hardcover soldiers immediately rushed to the front of these three people very neatly, tied the three of them tightly, and pushed them to the ground like rice dumplings.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to tie us up? What mistakes did we make? Zhang San fell to the ground and shouted loudly, he didn't know why the emperor did this.
