I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Chapter 320 Hesitation



Chapter 320 Hesitation

Now, the many rebel forces in the State of Chen have split into various factions.

The Qin Family Army led by Qin Sheng was nominally the leader of the uprising army in the Qishan area, but under him there were many leaders of varying sizes who came to join him, so the uprising army was not united.

There was a disagreement among the rebels as to whether to help the Yan army out of trouble.

Each of the rebel generals present had a different opinion.

Qin Yu felt a little more nervous at this moment.

It seemed that everyone's eyes were on Qin Sheng, wanting to see what Qin Sheng was thinking.

Faced with this question, Qin Sheng was a little hesitant.

Qin Yu said anxiously, "Brother, the situation is urgent now. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Did you come back to Qishan today just for this matter?"

Qin Sheng stared at Qin Yu with a calm look.

Qin Yu pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Seeing his sister's expression, Qin Sheng had already figured out everything.

His third sister has obviously fallen in love with Jiang Zuo.

Qin Sheng had already noticed it when he was in Jiangzhou City before.

"Miss Third, what benefits did those Yan people give you that made you so anxious to help them?"

At this time, someone asked in a questioning tone.

Hearing this, Qin Yu's face suddenly showed a bit of displeasure, and he retorted: "Didn't you all receive assistance from the Yan people before? Are you turning your back on us now?"

When these words were spoken, many people were stunned.

It has to be admitted that the Yan army did provide them with a lot of supplies before. It was precisely because of the support of these weapons and equipment that this group of rebels were able to occupy some strongholds so easily.

"We need to discuss this further."

Qin Sheng still felt somewhat conflicted.

In fact, he also wanted to take the opportunity to attack Chen’s army, but conquering Xinyuan City was not an easy task.

Their rebel army had previously been attacking small cities and the township bases of this generation, and had not attacked a larger city for a long time. If they really wanted to launch an attack on Xinyuan City, even Qin Sheng would not be very confident.

Although the main force of their rebel army has now grown to 50,000 people, together with the troops in the rear and some newly recruited peasant soldiers, the total number is nearly 100,000.

With such a strong force, they will not be at a disadvantage when facing the main force of Chen’s army.

But the biggest question now is whether we should sacrifice the rebels for the sake of the Yan people...

Obviously, more people in the rebel army were unwilling to do so.

"Brother, don't hesitate any longer. If Yan loses this time, our rebel army will also be affected. When the Yan army retreats, the Chen army will have the strength to deal with us."

Qin Yu stared at his brother with pleading eyes.

Qin Sheng's face still showed the seriousness of a brother.

"Don't be anxious. We in the rebel army need to carefully consider this matter."

Qin Sheng turned his head and looked at the others.

Obviously, they didn't make up their minds.

"What's there to discuss? If we don't take action, Chen Jun will attack us."

Qin Yu was already a little anxious.

The few Anding Army soldiers who came with them also had helpless expressions on their faces.

But this result was actually within their expectations. Before this, not many people placed their hopes on the rebels.

At this time, Manager Shi stepped forward and said, "Miss San, why don't you go back and settle down first and rest for a few days, then we can talk about this matter again."

"I can't wait any longer. If you don't go, I'll go back to Yan Jun now. If I keep hesitating, I'll fail."

Qin Yu's tone was filled with extreme anxiety.

"Why are you always so impatient? Let's discuss it for a day and there will be a result. Don't get upset every time something happens. Can you be calm?"

Qin Sheng said in a serious tone, and facing his sister, he lectured her like a patriarch.

Qin Yu pouted, her face clearly showing some displeasure. She was already a little annoyed by her brother's lecture.

It now seems that the rebel army led by the Qin family does not want to help the Yan army.

This situation is extremely unfavorable for Jiang Zuo and his men.

……

Outside Jiankang City.

Yan army camp.

Since the failure of the second round of attack.

Today, Chen's Crown Prince Xiao Nian has been imprisoned in a cage by Yan's army, looking miserable.

At this moment, Xiao Nian's face was calm, but he was already extremely unwilling in his heart.

At the same time, he was also extremely worried.

Did Zhou Bailin encounter any trouble in the capital? Why didn't the north gate of the city open as scheduled?

All the doubts had already occupied Xiao Nian's mind, leaving him no time to think about other things.

Even though he was now being held like a prisoner by the Yan people, he did not show the slightest bit of anger.

Now, many people in the Yan army already know Xiao Nian's identity, but they don't know why the Prince of Chen appears here.

Chen Xiu was standing not far outside the cage, looking at Xiao Nian in the cage, and said to Jiang Zuo beside him: "Do you think he is lying to us?"

Jiang Zuo thought for a moment before saying, "I think he is not lying. Maybe he really wants our Yan army to attack Jiankang City, but the plan went wrong."

Chen Xiu was not surprised and asked in confusion: "He is the crown prince of Chen State, and he wants to ask our Yan Army for help. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

Jiang Zuo said: "I did feel suspicious before, but after investigation, I found that there were indeed constant struggles within the Chen Kingdom. If this Chen crown prince is really capable of letting us enter Jiankang City, we might as well let him use us."

"Obviously he doesn't have the ability to do that." Chen Xiu said helplessly. "Now we can only choose to retreat and return to the rear to rest."

"But the Chen army in the rear has already begun to gather. If we retreat now, wouldn't it be playing into Chen's trap? If we do this, we will have to give up the gains we made in the early stages."

Jiang Zuo still chose to stay and attack.

Because outside the city of Jiankang, there were already other Chen army troops waiting. If the Yan army tried to retreat, it would definitely be noticed by the Chen army. Then the Chen army would take advantage of the Yan army's retreat and launch a sneak attack.

"At worst, we can borrow the navy to cover our retreat."

Chen Xiu suggested.

Although the retreat route in the rear has been cut off by the Chen army, the Yan army has warships of the navy. Although there are not many of them, they at least have an advantage over the Chen army.

But now the front-line troops are in Jiankang City. If they need naval supplies, they must start from Jiangzhou City. The round trip will take a lot of time.

Moreover, the Yan army is now in the camp of Jiankang City, and there is no port to unload supplies faster, and the ferry is also under threat from the Chen army.

The current situation is somewhat unfavorable for the Yan army...
