C2797 How Did He Lose

3It was true that Princess Qi wanted to support the eighth prince, but it was also true that she did not like other princes. However, this did not mean that she hoped that those princes would take the risk. After all, these princes were the sons of Royal Brother. They were her juniors, although many of them were older than her. After all, they were her family.

Thus, after knowing that the rebel forces had become very powerful, even the experienced generals were unable to defeat them... Princess Qi hesitated and was also afraid. She began to think... Was the previous suggestion appropriate?

It was not only Princess Qi who hesitated, but also the princes. At this time, they were also hesitating.

Initially, they thought that they should beat up the rebels made of mud. It would not be too difficult for the army of the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court. Although they would not be able to defeat the army of the Fengjue Country, however... It wouldn't be a problem for them to deal with those scumbags.

However, such news had come, causing their hearts to pound.

Although they were very confident in their own abilities, however, they had heard that those experienced generals... They had all failed. This made them hesitate. It seemed that this matter was not very safe. If he led his army there... He was also defeated and captured. He fell into the hands of those mud men. Wouldn't they be in trouble?

Wouldn't their lives be in danger?

The princes who had always cherished their lives felt uneasy and hesitant, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Princess Qi looked at the messenger with an ugly expression and said.

Her face was ugly, not only because her previous suggestion might not be very appropriate. More importantly, the rebel forces had won this war. Their strength had increased once again. If one were to say... Previously, Princess Qi had thought that the Imperial Court's army would defeat the rebels. It was not very difficult, but now, she did not have the confidence to do so. The more powerful the rebel army became, the more Princess Qi felt a deep threat. She suddenly realized that if this matter was not handled properly... Then, the Great Lu Dynasty might be in danger. As the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty... Naturally, she didn't want that to happen.

The messenger hurriedly revealed the information that he knew. The entire hall was very quiet. Neither the princes nor the ministers said anything. At this moment, they were all listening to the messenger's narration.

Following the messenger's narration, everyone knew what had happened. It could be said that they were too careless when the Great Lu Dynasty's imperial army was defeated once again.

Without Wu Yan's blind command, the Imperial Court's attack on the rebel army had gone much smoother. They had also won a few battles in succession. This caused the generals to feel uneasy. They felt that the rebel army was just so-so. Soon, they would be able to take care of the rebel army. Destroy them all and suppress them.

At this moment, the leader of the rebels, Wang Cheng... He sent someone to convey their thoughts of surrendering to them. There was no doubt about Wang Cheng's words. In their point of view, Wang Cheng's rebel army had been defeated several times in a row. There were a lot of casualties. It was totally understandable that they wanted to surrender at this moment.

They did not reject Wang Cheng's surrender. Since the rebel army was able to surrender on their own accord, the losses on imperial army's side could also be reduced. Therefore, those generals were still very willing to accept Wang Cheng's surrender.

However, what they did not expect was that Wang Cheng did not really want to surrender. The reason he proposed to surrender was to buy time. At the same time, he wanted to numb the hearts of those generals and cause them to be careless.

Those generals, under their carelessness, were really affected by Wang Cheng's strangeness. They sent people to accept Wang Cheng's troops' surrender. However... The troops were ambushed on the way, and the people who ambushed them... He was Wang Cheng's man.

Such an outcome naturally made the generals very angry. They hurriedly sent an army to attack, wanting to completely suppress Wang Cheng's army. However, when the main force of the Imperial Court left the city, ... The people Wang Cheng had sent to negotiate with had been lying in ambush in the city. After that, they used the time when the main force had left to desperately open the city gate. They let the main force of Wang Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, enter the city.

After entering the city, Wang Cheng obtained the grain, weapons, and equipment that the main force of the Imperial Court left behind. Then, he led the army out of the city once again and rearmed the rebels. They were even stronger than the army that was left at the front. They attacked the Imperial Court's army from the front and back.

At this moment, the Imperial Court's army also found out that their base camp had been taken over by a sneak attack. The rations that they carried with them could not last for long. Their morale was naturally affected. After that, under Wang Cheng's command... The rebel army defeated the main force of the Imperial Court in one fell swoop, causing them to suffer heavy losses once more.

Actually, from the start, Wang Cheng had purposely shown weakness to the enemy. His army had been obtained from the aid of the various countries outside the pass and from the destruction of Wu Yan's army. His strength was no longer the same as before. The reason why he had been defeated so many times in a row... It was also because he wanted to numb the nerves of those generals in the imperial court.

Those generals in the Imperial Court were indeed capable. However... Just like the officials in the Imperial Court, they felt that... Wang Cheng and the others were not worth mentioning, so they did not put Wang Cheng in their hearts. Because of this, the successive victories did not make them feel strange. Instead, they felt that it was only natural.

In the end, when Wang Cheng truly showed his sword, these generals were defeated. Furthermore, this defeat was very thorough, and they suffered heavy losses.

After listening to the soldier's narration, everyone remained silent once again. It was only now that they realized that they had underestimated this rebel army. As for the Imperial Court, after two consecutive defeats... Their forces had suffered great losses while the rebel army's forces had continued to increase. With this, the Imperial Court wanted to destroy those rebel forces. It was already very difficult.

At this moment, no matter how optimistic one was, they could not guarantee that they could easily defeat those rebel forces. As for the princes, their expressions kept changing.

They were completely certain that the rebel army was strong enough. If they led the army there, they might really not be able to return. Under such circumstances, they were truly hesitant.
