Chapter 355

To be honest, he really didn't have much responsibility for the night attack. At most, he didn't dissuade General Situ from his night attack plan.

However, the Lu family's military expedition should indeed take advantage of their depletion of men and horses to launch an offensive in order to achieve a greater victory.

Unfortunately, this plan was known to Lu Hao, and he took advantage of it. In the end, 20 troops perished in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Although Nangong Wuhen didn't make much mistake in the night attack plan, when he heard that General Situ had been ambushed, he immediately broke out of the camp to escape for his life. This was definitely the biggest mistake of Nangong Wuhen, a coward.

Lu Hao killed all his 20 troops at the minimum cost and captured more than [-] people. This was completely Nangong Wuhen's dereliction of duty.

Besides, the logistics support army had no idea what was going on ahead, so they were completely taken over by others.

As a leading general, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is as timid as a mouse. How can such a person lead an army on an expedition?How could it lead the Sui Empire to prosperity?
"You evil son, shut up! From today on, Nangong Wuhen will be deposed as the crown prince and thrown into the sky prison, where he will be punished!"

Sui Yang Emperor Nangong Kun roared angrily.

"Father...don't blame me! Father...mother..."

Nangong Wuhen yelled.

Zhongli Yaxuan, the empress of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, pursed her lips, but in the end she did not come forward to intercede.

The current Sui Yang Emperor was in a rage. If he, the queen, was accused of being incompetent in educating his son, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

The plan for now is to wait for Emperor Sui Yang to calm down, and then find a way to plead for mercy, so as to save Nangong Wuhen's life.

However, after this incident, Nangong Wuhen's position as crown prince will definitely not be preserved.

Nangong Wuhen paid a heavy price for his ignorance, cowardice, and cowardice, but he could never get back the empire's 40 soldiers.

"My dear friends, what do you think we should do now?"

Emperor Sui Yang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead troops to Liuyang City, take off Lu Hao's head, and pay homage to the soldiers who died in the battle!"

A general stood up and asked for battle.

"Your Majesty, now the empire has lost 40 elite troops. No one in the north can stop the Great Yan Empire's army. I don't think it is appropriate to restart the war with the Great Yan Empire at this time."

Han Dexian said loudly.

"I also know that we can no longer cooperate with the Great Yan Empire, but I just can't swallow this breath! Cough... cough..."

Nangong Kun coughed violently and almost cried.

Thinking of his elite teacher, who was beaten to death by this stupid prince, he felt a burst of pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my condolences! Take care of your dragon body!"

Han Dexian persuaded loudly.

"Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty!"

All civil and military officials fell to their knees.

"Okay, you guys, get up and quickly figure out how to deal with this matter?"

Nangong Kun waved his hand and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, the third prince is still destroying the two rebels Nangong Yu and Nangong Lie. The empire can mobilize about 30 troops, which can be transferred to Xuancheng in the north to guard the border."

"In addition, the empire will issue pensions to fallen soldiers to appease the empire's subjects, and at the same time start recruiting troops immediately to ensure sufficient reserves..."

"Furthermore, to make peace with the Great Yan Empire, I proposed to marry the thirteenth princess to Lu Hao to prevent him from leading an army to attack the empire..."

Han Dexian spoke loudly.

"The Thirteenth Princess is my heartthrob, how can I bear to let her marry that murderous demon king?"

Nangong Kun was heartbroken and unwilling at all costs.

"Your Majesty, the empire is currently empty of troops. The 30-strong army cannot be mobilized in a short period of time. For the current plan, the only way to get a chance to breathe is to sacrifice Her Highness the Princess!" Han Dexian persuaded again.

"Weichen heard that the Thirteenth Princess likes Lu Hao and calls Lu Hao the Prime Minister of Poetry. Weichen thinks it is feasible to get married!"

The Minister of Rites stood up.

"Yes, Wei Chen also heard that Lu Hao likes the thirteenth princess very much and even writes poems to the princess. Moreover, Lu Hao is now in power, so marrying the princess to Lu Hao is definitely a good choice."

The Minister of War also stood up to persuade.

"I second the motion! I second the motion..."

The other ministers also stood up.

Nangong Kun glanced around, remembering what Concubine Qing said to him, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, let's leave this matter to the Prime Minister."

Nangong Kun reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, the words that the Thirteenth Princess asked his mother-in-law to tell him could not help but ring in his ears.

Nangong Ruoxue knew very well how powerful Lu Hao was, and asked her mother and concubine to tell her father, asking him to quickly withdraw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Situ, and not to interfere with Nan Pingyuan.

Now it seems that everything has come true.

Lu Hao is by no means a simple character!

The most important thing was that the new weapons used by the Lu Jiajun made Emperor Sui Yang full of curiosity and worry.

If the empire could possess this kind of killer weapon, wouldn't it be able to do everything against it?

However, getting this kind of weapon may not be easy.

If the thirteenth princess is really sent to get married, can we steal this weapon back and then slowly study it?
Once the empire also has this kind of weapon, will it still be afraid of him, Lu Hao?
On the other side, when Nangong Ruoxue learned that Lu Hao had defeated General Situ and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she felt very disappointed and regretful.

If he hadn't stolen the southern defense map, General Situ would not have captured Liuyang River and pushed towards Xiangfan City, nor would Lu Hao have used his plan to burn Yulin Village, causing the 40-strong army to be wiped out.

Concubine Qing came slowly, looking at her daughter who was sitting at the window in a daze, feeling unbearable in her heart.

"Ruoxue, what are you thinking about?"

Concubine Qing tried her best to smile.

"Mother, did Lu Hao really kill 40 of our soldiers?"

Nangong Ruoxue's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, General Situ wanted to attack Lu Hao at night, but fell into his trick and ended up in a sea of ​​fire..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that General Situ was defeated. He abandoned his camp overnight and fled for his life. He was pursued by Lu Hao's cavalry regiment and suffered heavy casualties..."

"Approximately more than [-] regular troops and more than [-] logistics troops have become Lu Hao's prisoners."

Concubine Qing did not hide anything and told her in detail.

"Mother, can you find a way to rescue those captives?"

Nangong Ruoxue asked leisurely.

"The emperor wants to rescue you, but he still doesn't know what Lu Hao means. Therefore, your father is planning to marry you to Lu Hao..."

"What? Marry him?"

Nangong Ruoxue was shocked and interrupted her mother's words.

"Yes! The Prime Minister and other civil and military officials came forward and said that Lu Hao liked you and wrote you poems. Therefore, your father decided to marry you to Lu Hao to buy time for the empire to set up the northern defense line..."

Concubine Qing said happily.
