Chapter 846 - 843: A Foolproof Plan
Before, Liu Hong and Princess of Zhen each took a separate route to attack Daliang’s Hancheng. He was puzzled why, once Princess of Zhen arrived, the Commandery Princess Gaoyi, known for her bravery, became docile in the ensuing battles and did not attack any cities.
Now it is clear that their intent was to draw Liang’s forces so that Commandery Princess Gaoyi could smoothly reach Hancheng for the siege!
The old Prime Minister thought further... Had they truly decided to relocate the capital towards Xiangliang, they could have encountered the Commandery Princess Gaoyi, which would have led to the total annihilation of Liang’s forces.
The old Prime Minister even suspected that the Jin Kingdom had planned this route from the beginning... to force the Daliang Imperial Clan into Gaoyi’s grasp!
Jin Kingdom intended to push them directly into the jaws of Commandery Princess Gaoyi.
The old Prime Minister was filled with desolation and trepidation. This meticulous planning by the Jin Kingdom would undoubtedly lead to Daliang’s defeat!
It appeared that even the Rong would not arrive in time to save Hancheng!
If one were to blame... it would be the Emperor, who was fixated on revenge, completely disregarding Liang Kingdom.
Now, the old Prime Minister and some senior court officials, their minds aching from the ministers’ squabbles, waited for the Third Prince to make a decision.
The plump Third Prince wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and finally made up his mind, saying, "No longer... let the soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain! We... shall surrender!"
