Although Master Feng destroyed the plan of King Zhou and the Fifth Prince to delay the reinforcements and allowed the reinforcements to move forward normally, the reinforcements still could not arrive at the originally scheduled time. Even if they traveled day and night, they would arrive five or six times later than scheduled.
About days.
When Feng Sijin received the news, he really wanted to cry.
Five or six days is not a long time for a human life, but for things on the battlefield, it really couldn't be longer.
Originally, the reinforcements arrived late, and now they will be delayed another five or six days. There is simply no way to survive.
The news could not be concealed, so Feng Sijin immediately told Prince Pingxi so that he could make up his mind.
"Five or six days? When King Zhao and Xihu join forces to attack the city, it will be good if we can hold out for two days." Prince Pingxi actually smiled when he heard the news, but the smile was uglier than crying.
"It's not sad to die on the battlefield, but it's sad that our own people are holding us back." Fortunately, he felt pity for Feng Yao before, but now that he thinks about it, he is really mocking him.
He is not much better than Feng Yao.
Feng Sijin saw that Prince Pingxi was in a bad state and couldn't help but said: "Prince, this is not a strange thing. There is no need for you to be angry about this."
"We were tricked by King Zhou and the Fifth Prince, aren't you angry?" Prince Pingxi looked at Feng Sijin with fierce eyes.
Feng Sijin was not afraid, and said calmly: "Prince, everyone's position determines the motivation for their actions. It is normal for the King of Zhou and the fifth prince to do this.
If I were an aide to the King of Zhou and the Fifth Prince, I would also advise the King of Zhou and the Fifth Prince to do this. Without waiting for reinforcements, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun would most likely die on the battlefield. Even if he did not die on the battlefield, it would be a great defeat.
The former emperor's grandson has no chance of competing for the throne. As for the latter? A defeat is an indelible shame for military commanders, let alone a country's crown prince. Such a defeat will be a lifelong shame for the emperor's grandson.
, even if you sit on the throne, you will still be criticized."
"How can things be said like this? The King of Zhou and the fifth prince are destroying the foundation of our Great Qin. Without Great Qin, what are the King of Zhou and the fifth prince?" Prince Pingxi cannot understand the selfishness of the King of Zhou and the fifth prince. The throne is important, but the country is important.
Isn’t the country more important?
Feng Sijin shook his head and smiled: "The prince, for the King of Zhou and the fifth prince, if they can't sit in that position, what does Jiangshan Sheji have to do with them?"
"Why is it irrelevant? Only with the presence of the Qin Dynasty can they protect their wealth for the rest of their lives." If the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, the King of Zhou and the fifth prince will be prisoners.
"If they are not rich, but powerful. If they are willing to be idle princes, they will not let go when the time for the throne has been determined." Feng Sijin was a bystander, and he did not put his personal feelings into watching the throne.
In this way, I don’t think there is anything wrong with the actions of King Zhou and the fifth prince.
The battle for the throne has always been bloody, and those who are soft-hearted will never make it to the end.
The Prince of Pingxi County shook his head and sighed, "You are indeed a natural candidate for becoming an official. Even though I know that King Zhou and the fifth prince did not do this to the soldiers on the battlefield, I still feel chilly." Hundreds of thousands of comments
Human life, how can you just give it up?
"Prince, just be more liberal if you want. We will do our best to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." Of course Feng Sijin felt sorry for the soldiers on the battlefield, but things have happened, so instead of blaming King Zhou here,
With the fifth prince, it is better to spend your energy on thinking of countermeasures and try your best to protect the people under your command.
However, Feng Sijin could also see that Prince Pingxi was not a man who knew how to get into trouble. He had been on the battlefield for decades, and this was not the first time that Prince Pingxi had encountered such a thing.
Feng Sijin stopped persuading and asked, "Prince, how is Yan Qing?"
Yan Qing had previously led people to stop the King of Zhao on the Yangchang Trail, and lost 30,000 people. He stopped the King of Zhao for five days, and he himself was seriously injured.
It is said that King Zhao directed all his firepower at Yan Qing, and tens of thousands of people attacked Yan Qing risklessly. If Tang Wanjin hadn't been there to help Yan Qing block several fatal blows, Yan Qing would have been afraid
It was explained there.
"The internal organs were injured and the bleeding continued. Although my life was saved, I have to take care of myself." When Yan Qing was mentioned, Prince Pingxi became even more worried.
Although Yan Qing's injuries were not life-threatening, they were fatal to the general. If he did not recover well, Yan Qing might not be able to go on the battlefield again.
"Should we send Yan Qing back to the capital? The conditions in the capital are better than here." Feng Sijin suggested.
Prince Pingxi sighed again, "I mentioned that he refused to leave. Although he can't go to the battlefield, he can teach his subordinates. I think his intention is to promote the child of the Gu family."
Thinking of this, Prince Pingxi became even more depressed.
Yan Qing's injuries destined him to be unable to advance further in this battle, and Prince Pingxi didn't care. He had enough power over their family, so Yan Qing could just take a good rest, but Yan Qing refused.
He himself was injured and could not go to the battlefield, but he still insisted on helping the Gu family boy to take the position, regardless of whether others would accept it or not.
Feng Sijin knew Yan Qing's intentions, so he could only persuade Prince Pingxi, "Can the Prince still not trust Yan Qing's vision? The person Yan Qing likes must be excellent."
Gu Chenghuan is indeed good, but in Feng Sijin's eyes, Gu Chenghuan is still a child. He is capable, but he is too young to convince others. It is not easy for Yan Qing to help people up.
"What's so good? You really think I don't know what's going on." Prince Pingxi glared at Feng Sijin, "For the sake of that girl from the Gu family going to the northwest camp to rescue Yan Qing, I did this
Turn one eye or close one eye."
What can be incompetent... It doesn't matter how capable a teenager is?
Without qualifications, he still has to endure.
"The prince is wise." Feng Sijin flattered him at the right time. Although he was a bit direct, he was more sincere.
The Prince of Pingxi County was happy in his heart, but he said: "What are you wise about? If I were wise, I would not let His Highness the Grandson leave. It has been more than ten days, and there is no news from the Grandson. I am really worried.
"
"Don't worry, the emperor's grandson will be fine." The smile on Feng Sijin's face did not change, but there was a worried look in his eyes.
He knew more than Prince Pingxi. It was not that Qin Jiyan didn't tell them the news, but that he couldn't tell them at all.
Qin Jiyan is missing!
He has been missing for more than ten days and there is no news about him.
Feng Sijin can be sure that in two days, if there is no news about Qin Jiyan, King Zhao and Xihu will definitely release the news about the death of the emperor's grandson. By then, the morale of the army will be difficult to stabilize.
Thinking of this, Feng Sijin was worried and had no intention of talking to Prince Pingxi. He ended today's conversation with just a few words and prepared to go back to his camp to think about the arrangements for the follow-up affairs.
No matter what, he had to defend the city before Qin Jiyan came back...
