Chapter 194 Brother 1 will definitely succeed!

Therefore, Lu Zhanyan dispatched Qin Ren to lead an army of 400,000 to directly attack Dayan.

The enemy was defeated one after another, and due to insufficient supply of food and fodder, they had to abandon Yanmen Pass.

But the brave general Qin Ren led the army to continue pursuing the victory, and in just one month, they captured three cities.

When the Emperor of Yan heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood. Seeing that he was about to die, in order to allow the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, he immediately sent people to Yanzhou to negotiate. He was willing to cede five cities as an apology and hoped that the two countries would continue to have friendly relations.

After bargaining between the two negotiating teams, Yanzhou obtained seven cities, and another three were captured.

The two sides signed the treaty again. In order to prevent the same situation as last time, they forced the Emperor of Yan and the Crown Prince to sign the treaty at the same time to prevent the new Emperor from going back on his word once the Emperor of Yan passed away.

He also said that if anyone went back on his word, there would be no room for peace talks.

For the sake of Dayan, the Emperor of Yan and the Crown Prince had to endure and stamp their jade seals.

Yan Xiao was wrongly blamed and became the eternal sinner of Dayan.

His reputation plummeted, and he was confined to the prince's palace...

The plan ended up in vain!

The victory in Yanzhou boosted the morale of the soldiers, especially the negotiators, who felt that there was hope for rebellion!

So, one by one, they changed their previous dejected looks and began to help Lu Zhanyan with ideas in an excited manner.

If they win, they will have the merit of following the dragon and be the real veterans!

So exciting…

When the officials learned that Qinzhou, Yizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yongzhou were all in the pocket of Duke Anguo, their mouths opened wide.

This was done under the noses of the late emperor and the new emperor?

This... this has already gained half of Daqian's territory, okay? What are you afraid of if your rebellion fails?

Even if we can't get the capital, we already have a foothold.

Zhao Ningxiu and others were extremely shocked, and then they became very excited. In Daqian, they were just one of the hundreds of officials, and there were many reserve officials. If they were gone, there were plenty of officials to replace them, so they were not irreplaceable.

However, if a new dynasty is established, they will be the founding fathers, and various positions will need people, then their status will rise rapidly, which is completely different from that in the capital.

After learning of the result, the officials no longer had any concerns.

For the safety of their families in the capital, they discussed and submitted a memorial together, claiming that their negotiations had failed and that Dayan demanded the entire Yanzhou. They were detained by Dayan's army and were waiting for the arrival of a new negotiator.

The secret letter was sent back to the capital at full speed, and Lu Zhanyan asked Zhao Ningxiu and others to take over the ten cities and leave them to them.

Once we trick another wave of officials over, we’ll have help again.

The Lu Zhanyan brothers returned to Xuzhou.

Early August,

After several wars broke out between Xuzhou and Qi, a truce began.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Lu Zhanyan secretly mobilized troops and began to quietly gather in Xuzhou, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the State of Qi.

At the same time, when the message was rushed to the capital of Daqian in an emergency of 800 miles, Emperor Jiaxing had already become numb and numbly summoned all the court officials to the court for discussion.

Dayan was so greedy that it even wanted the entire Yanzhou. Even the ambassadors they sent for negotiations were detained.

If they disagreed, these officials would never come back alive.

There was another round of quarrels in the court, but it was impossible for Daqian to send troops out now.

Qinzhou has sent nearly 400,000 troops, but the number of rebels in Qinzhou has reached a terrifying number of hundreds of thousands, and Yang Jingchen is still fighting.

Xuzhou and Yanzhou suffered successive defeats, morale was low, and there was a shortage of troops and food supplies.

If this continues, their Daqian will completely cease to exist.

Emperor Jiaxing was already tired, and in a rage he sent both of his assistant ministers away for negotiations.

He ordered Wei Ge Lao to lead several officials to Qinzhou to find a way to quell the civil unrest.

He also ordered Prime Minister Su to lead several officials to the border of Dayan to negotiate, expressing his willingness to cede Yanzhou to Dayan in order to quell the war.

He also asked Dayan to help Daqian deal with Qi. If Qi was defeated, Xuzhou would be ceded to Dayan.

When this decision came out, the ministers were in an uproar!

They all knelt down and asked His Majesty to think twice.

That means losing two states directly!

The veins on Emperor Jiaxing's forehead were throbbing, and the sparks in his eyes almost jumped out of his eye sockets. He slapped the dragon throne and said angrily: "Think twice, then you should come up with a countermeasure! All you know is to quarrel there, and there is no solution at all! Do you really have to wait until the two countries come to your door and Daqian is destroyed before you are satisfied?"

Emperor Jiaxing was now very angry, as he thought he had made the greatest concessions and sacrifices. In order to ease the crisis facing the country, he even ceded territory in exchange for a breathing space.

However, these ministers only bickered and were unable to come up with effective solutions.

Emperor Jiaxing thought that if he did not take decisive action, Daqian would probably face the fate of destruction.

By then, not only will he lose more territory, but even the entire country may cease to exist. As the king of a country, how should he face such an outcome?

He firmly believed that as long as he could focus on dealing with the domestic chaos, he would be able to regain the lost territory one day in the future. In comparison, preserving the entire Daqian was the most important thing.

After these words were spoken, the ministers fell silent.

If you think about it carefully, although it is painful for Your Majesty to give up two states, it can save the entire Daqian.

After the civil strife in Daqian is resolved and we have some time to recuperate, it is not impossible to retake the city we once owned.

Wei Gelao and Prime Minister Su looked at each other and finally knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The two assistant ministers agreed, and naturally the others followed suit and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The matter had been decided, so Lord Wei and Prime Minister Su did not delay any longer.

They began to select officials and set off at the same time.

One team went to Qinzhou, and the other team went to Yanzhou.

However, as soon as Prime Minister Su walked out of the city gate, he was stopped by Princess Yanyin. She disguised herself as a man and threatened to go to Yanzhou together for negotiations.

When she learned that her husband was detained by Dayan, she could no longer wait patiently and decided to go there in person.

Prime Minister Su hesitated for a moment and then agreed. After all, she was the princess of Dayan, and he hoped she could be of some use!

Moreover, Prime Minister Su vaguely felt that there must be other hidden secrets in Yanzhou. Lu Zhanyan intended to rebel, so how could he always be defeated?

He guessed that half of the news sent to the capital must be false.

He did not refuse His Majesty's order because he wanted to find out what was going on!

Emperor Jiaxing was also unaware that, because of this decision, these two assistant ministers were sent to Lu Zhanyan...

No matter what the war situation is, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming on August 15th.

Lu Zhanxing and his family had a pretty good Mid-Autumn Festival. His little nephew An An is eight months old now and can walk on his own with the help of something. He looks exactly like his older brother, and he is rarely seen smiling. He is very cold and aloof, and only smiles when he sees Ling'er.

Lu Zhanxing almost thought that this little guy was also reincarnated or traveled through time. How could he be so clever at only eight months old?

But she was overthinking it. An An was a normal child, just smarter than ordinary children.

Sure enough, eldest brother’s species is different.

My daughter Ling'er is three months younger than An'an. She is already five months old. She loves to laugh, and her smile can melt people's hearts.

Her father loved his granddaughter very much, but he also urged Lu Zhanxing to have a second child.

Lu Zhanxing agreed with a smile, but in fact he ignored it.

Giving birth to the first child almost cost her life, how could she possibly have a second one?

My father is already sixty years old and my mother is fifty-seven. They are not as strong as they used to be. Fortunately, Liu Xu helps them take care of their bodies. They have some minor illnesses but no major ones.

With two little ones to entertain them, they are in pretty good spirits.

Therefore, Lu Zhanxing would basically agree to any requests from the two elders, for he was afraid that something might happen to them.

After the reunion dinner, Lu Zhanxing asked Bai Jing to take him to the roof, and then he lay on the roof looking at the round moon in the sky.

It has been two years, and everything has been going in the right direction. The day when I can finally lie down and rest is just around the corner.

Brother will succeed!

By then, not only would she be a rich woman, she would also have a brother who would be an emperor. Thinking of the days when she could walk sideways in the future, Lu Zhanxing couldn't help but laugh out loud...

PS: Thank you my dear friends for liking this book and for always supporting Huahua. I know many of you feel sorry that our Ah Xing gave birth to a girl. It would be great and perfect to have a boy, who can carry on the family line.

However, Huahua feels that this is not what I want to express. Ah Xing is a woman disguised as a man. From a certain perspective, this era is patriarchal. If Ah Xing had not been forced to dress up as a man, could she really be so unrestrained and free?

Letting Ah Xing give birth to a girl is to express that starting from her generation, girls are also precious.

She not only wants to change the status of women in this era, but also wants her children to not care whether they are boys or girls. Even if they are girls, they can live the life they want.

Ah Xing did not receive the love of her parents in her previous life. In this life, she will teach her child carefully and give her endless fatherly love, which can be regarded as another way to make up for the family affection she has never had.

In short, this is the purpose of having a girl.

In addition...

Huahua revealed that our Ling'er is very intelligent and has a sweet heart with black sesame filling. Do you really not like it?
