Chapter 207 Yu Yu’s Decision
Yu Shuo couldn't believe the news that his brother had been defeated.
In his opinion, his brother, who has always been known as "Little King An", leading 30,000 people, is absolutely invincible no matter what!
But now, the fact that his brother was defeated was right before his eyes, and he couldn't believe it no matter what.
Looking at his brother's incredulous eyes, Yu Yu shook his head helplessly and said in a miserable manner.
"Go back and tell the soldiers to get ready. We are going back to the West."
Upon hearing his brother's decision, Yu Shuo widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Brother, have you really decided?!"
"Father and we have put in so much effort to get to where we are today. Are you going to give up all our efforts just because you suffered a defeat?!"
Having said that, Yu Shuo was so angry that he threw the fan in his hand directly at Yu Yu's face.
"I finally understand. Choosing you as the Crown Prince was the most wrong decision my father has ever made in his life!"
Facing his brother's rebuke, Yu Yu didn't say anything. He just got off the horse calmly and picked up the fan thrown by Yu Shuo.
Then, he slowly walked to Yu Shuo step by step and handed the fan in his hand to Yu Shuo.
"Perhaps it's just like what you said. This is the most wrong decision my father has ever made in his life."
"But, as the heirs of the West Territory, we shouldn't just consider our father's last wish!"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the depths of Yu Yu's eyes.
"Do you think I don't feel sad about this decision?"
"As the heir to the Western Territory, I watched helplessly as my father handed over fifteen cities of Daxia to the Canglang Nation!"
"Second brother, we were wrong from the beginning of this conflict!"
After saying that, Yu Yu walked forward and patted Yu Shuo on the shoulder.
After hearing what his brother said, Yu Yu opened his mouth in daze.
He wanted to refute something, but found that he had no way to refute what his brother said.
After opening his mouth for a long time, Yu Shuo still couldn't say a word in the end.
That night, Prince An's army, which had arrived with great momentum, withdrew from the imperial capital in disgrace.
The next day, when Prince Huai'an received the news that Prince An's army had withdrawn to the western border, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although King An has passed away, it must be said that as long as the two brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo are around, the Western Territory will not be in chaos.
Jiang Chen, who had just woken up and had no time to wash up, was hurriedly pulled over by King Huai'an.
"My Lord, what happened so early in the morning?"
Jiang Chen, who was half asleep, looked at King Huai'an with a puzzled look and asked doubtfully.
"Prince An's army has withdrawn. Next, we just need to deal with the mob in the imperial capital."
In response to Jiang Chen's doubts, Prince Huai'an spoke slowly.
When Jiang Chen heard Prince Huai'an say that Prince An's army had retreated, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could they just willingly retreat back to the West?!"
"When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it."
"But only after the scouts I sent out went to investigate the news did I dare to believe that this was true."
King Huai'an said to Jiang Chen with a smile, and took out a document from his arms and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Take a look. This is the letter that the brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo left for me."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then took the letter, opened it and started reading.
After reading the letter of attributes left by Yu Yu and Yu Shuo for King Huai'an, Jiang Chen couldn't help but get angry.
"This Prince An is such a beast. He actually gave up fifteen cities in the western border just to seize the throne!"
Looking at the furious Jiang Chen, King Huai'an sighed helplessly.
"Although he is my brother, I agree with you on this matter."
"This second brother of mine has failed the late emperor's expectations of him..."
Having said this, Prince Huai'an closed his eyes and leaned back in his armchair.
Looking at King Huai'an who was also heartbroken, Jiang Chen sighed, walked forward and placed the letter on the desk in front of King Huai'an.
Then, he slowly spoke .
"Your Majesty, our top priority now is to think about how to capture the imperial capital."
"Although Prince An's army is gone now, the remaining 60,000 defenders in the imperial capital are not so easy to deal with."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, King Huai'an nodded in agreement.
"Yes, let's not talk about the 10,000 Imperial Guards and 20,000 Imperial Guards for now, let's talk about the 30,000 soldiers from the five battalions of the Northern Army."
"Just these 30,000 soldiers from the five battalions of the Northern Army are a tough nut to crack."
Having said that, Jiang Chen stopped, then took out a document and handed it to King Huai'an.
"This is!?"
Looking at the document Jiang Chen took out, King Huai'an asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, this document records the locations of the major granaries in the imperial capital."
"Also, it also indicates the shift times of the five battalions of the Northern Army, as well as the locations of their main camps in the city."
Facing the puzzled King Huai'an, Jiang Chen directly told him everything recorded in the document.
After hearing Jiang Chen's answer, King Huai'an nodded excitedly.
"Okay, okay!"
"With this information, we will be able to save a lot of effort in conquering the imperial capital this time."
"Jiang Chen, after I have appointed my fourth brother as the new Duke, I will re-confer you the title of Duke of the State!"
In his joy, King Huai'an then remembered the reward for Jiang Chen.
Although the reward from King Huai'an did not sound good for Jiang Chen, it was just a conferment of the title on Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen's title of "Duke of the State" was conferred by the Regent He Jin, and He Jin's throne was not legitimate.
Naturally, the title of "Duke of Zhenguo" bestowed upon him would not be recognized by loyal royal ministers such as the King of Huai'an.
Jiang Chen, who was fully aware that his current title was not legitimate, was naturally very satisfied with the reward from King Huai'an.
"Jiang Chen, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, get up quickly. You don't have to act like this in front of me anymore."
After saying this, King Huai'an signaled Jiang Chen that there was no need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future.
"Jiang Chen will remember the prince's teachings!"
After hearing what King Huai'an said, Jiang Chen immediately stood up and nodded.
"Well, without further ado, I will gather all the generals to discuss the conquest of the imperial capital!"
After saying this, King Huai'an directly called over several personal guards and ordered them to call over his subordinates.
After a while, a group of generals came over.
