Chapter 208 Jiang Chen Offers Suggestions
When all of Prince Huai'an's generals gathered together, Prince Huai'an told them that Prince An's army had already retreated.
Upon hearing this, all the generals were stunned in shock.
They couldn't believe that King An would choose to retreat!
Before they could recover from the news of Prince An's withdrawal, Prince Huai'an dropped another bombshell.
"Everyone, after discussion, I have decided to launch an attack on the imperial capital tonight!"
Upon hearing that Prince Huai'an was going to launch an offensive against the imperial capital tonight, all the generals were stunned again.
They really couldn't understand it, given the current situation.
Shouldn't they launch raids on the imperial capital from time to time, disrupting the salutes of the imperial guards?!
The decision made by Prince Huai'an, the commander-in-chief , was really hard for them to understand.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of his generals, King Huai'an smiled slightly.
"You are all veterans who have followed me. You should know that I never do meaningless things."
"As for why they suddenly decided to launch an attack on the imperial capital tonight..."
"Because, I think, the best time has come!"
Having said that, King Huai'an nodded at Jiang Chen, indicating that Jiang Chen could stand up.
After receiving instructions from King Huai'an, Jiang Chen slowly walked out, holding the letter of intelligence he had previously presented to King Huai'an.
"I believe you all know that I came from the Imperial Capital, right?!"
"General Jiang Chen, although we all know that you came from the imperial capital, what does this prove?!"
"Although you know the situation in the imperial capital better than any of us, what does that prove?"
Several generals under the King of Huai'an stood up and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
They really couldn't understand what good ideas Jiang Chen, a guy who came to surrender from the imperial capital, could have.
Seeing that the generals of King Huai'an all turned their eyes to him, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and spoke loudly to everyone in the big tent.
"Generals, although Jiang has only been here for a few days, you generals have already said it yourself."
"I'm afraid no one knows the situation in the city better than me, right?!"
Following Jiang Chen's question, the lieutenant generals present fell silent.
After all, Jiang Chen was telling the truth. No one among the generals present knew more about the happenings in the imperial capital than he did.
What's more, for those generals who have always followed King Huai'an, they still have some recognition of Jiang Chen.
"So General Jiang means that you have a plan that can help us quickly capture the imperial capital?!"
An old general under the command of King Huai'an stood up and asked slowly:
"Exactly!"
Jiang Chen looked at the veteran, smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Jiang Chen looked confident, the veteran asked expectantly.
"Then please speak frankly, General Jiang. Let us hear what your plan is!"
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it."
"Before I left the imperial capital, I had already found out the location of the city's garrison's granary and the time to change guards."
"However, these are not the most important things. The most important point is that I know a secret passage leading to the city!"
Having said that, Jiang Chen glanced at the generals of King Huai'an.
When he heard that Jiang Chen knew a secret passage leading to the city.
A group of generals who had originally not taken it seriously all showed a hint of joy in their eyes.
Looking at the reactions of the generals, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"So, what the general and the prince mean is to use this secret passage to burn the granary of the defenders in the city."
"This will disrupt the defenders in the imperial capital. Even if we don't take down the city gates tonight, we can still cause chaos in the imperial capital! "
"Great, great!"
"Your Majesty, General Jiang, what a plan that kills two birds with one stone!"
After listening to Jiang Chen's plan, the veteran who had just stood up praised excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible!"
"According to General Jiang's plan, if everything goes well, then at this time tomorrow, we can hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate."
The other generals under the King of Huai'an also nodded in agreement, while Yu Qingbei on the side lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Since you all think Jiang Chen's plan is feasible, then let's do it!"
“Plus, those guys in the imperial capital will definitely relax their vigilance temporarily because of the news of Prince An’s army’s withdrawal.”
"So, tonight, without further ado!"
Seeing that none of his generals opposed Jiang Chen's plan, King Huai'an announced with a smile.
"I obey your command!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals bowed to King Huai'an and accepted his orders.
As the plan was finalized, all the generals retreated one after another, leaving only Prince Huai'an, Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei in the entire tent.
Looking at his son who had never spoken, King Huai'an asked with some confusion.
"Qingbei, do you have something to say?!"
Yu Qingbei, who had been silent, heard his father's voice and quickly raised his head and answered.
"Father, I just can't figure it out..."
"If you have any questions, please speak up. This prince and Jiang Chen are here. If you have any questions, we can answer them for you."
As he spoke, Prince Huai'an glanced at Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen also walked to Yu Qingbei and patted Yu Qingbei on the shoulder.
"I say, Brother Yu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Faced with the confusion of his father and Jiang Chen, Yu Qingbei hesitated for a while, but still expressed his concerns.
"Father, Brother Jiang, this is it."
"I suspect that the sudden retreat of Prince An's army is definitely not that simple!"
"My uncle has always coveted the throne. How could he give up so easily?"
Hearing Yu Qingbei's question, Jiang Chen on the side couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Even the Prince of Huai'an, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help laughing as he looked at his son.
"Father, Brother Jiang, what are you two laughing at!?"
"Could it be that I said something wrong?"
Seeing that his father and Jiang Chen were both laughing so hard that they could hardly close their mouths, Yu Qingbei asked a little embarrassedly.
"No, no, no, my little prince, you are right, but you may not know it yet."
"That Prince An, he died a long time ago."
Jiang Chen couldn't bear to watch Yu Qingbei continue to have wild thoughts, so he told him the truth directly.
"What?!"
"When did this happen? Is it true? Why didn't I know about this?!"
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Yu Qingbei widened his eyes in disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that his uncle, who had always been famous for his bravery, actually died on the road to the throne!
