"Father!"
This time it was my mistake; please give me another chance! Che Chengyun suddenly raised his head, a sincere expression on his face. I will definitely secure the Compressed Biscuit! I will make Jiang Han sell the Compressed Biscuit to me! As for Lin Qingyue, I will do my best to appease her!
However, the Langya Prince, seeing his son's earnest demeanor, silently closed his eyes and sighed. You still haven't figured out how this should be done or how to deal with these people!
"Father!" Che Chengyun wanted to say more but was stopped by the Langya Prince's hand.
After opening his eyes and looking at Che Chengyun, he said, "Enough. I am your father; this is something I should teach you!"
Regarding the Compressed Biscuit, whoever can obtain this military ration holds the power over the army, multiplying their strength tenfold! Currently, controlling thirty Wan Dajun, under unchanged transportation capacity and routes, if we convert all the supplies needed except for warhorses into Compressed Biscuit, we can supply an army ten times larger!
If one day there is a rebellion and we control the Compressed Biscuit, we could expand thirty Wan Dajun into three hundred at any moment. The supplies for thirty Wan Dajun used to require around two to three million people working in relay to transport! Now, transporting supplies for three hundred Wan Dajun would still only need two to three million people!
With the Compressed Biscuit, we can recruit soldiers on-site; every youth in each city will become the best soldiers without worrying about supply shortages! With unchanged transportation capacity, the army size can increase tenfold, and combat effectiveness can at least increase fivefold.
Since the newly recruited soldiers lack combat experience, the increase in fighting power is only fivefold!
After listening to the Langya Prince's analysis, Che Chengyun nodded in agreement, acknowledging the importance of this matter. In the past, Jiang Han supplied Lin Qingyue with only a normal amount of supplies; now that we have the Compressed Biscuit, we must bring Jiang Han over to our side!
Your methods are not aggressive enough. If it were me... The Langya Prince's eyes revealed a murderous intent as he spoke: "I would capture Lin Qingyue, strip her bare, tie her up, and send her to Jiang Han! This way, Jiang Han could relieve his grievances and might swear loyalty to me!"
Chen Ran, Lin Qingyue is indeed a female general; her achievements are all based on Jiang Han's continuous supply of provisions!
At the beginning, when Lin Yue introduced you to Lin Qingyue, I did not stop it because I wanted to see how Jiang Han would act! I never expected that Lin Qingyue would truly abandon Jiang Han; it was utterly foolish. In his eyes, there was no woman more foolish than Lin Qingyue!
Che Chengyun was taken aback when he heard his father say he wanted to strip Lin Qingyue and send her to Jiang Han. The Langya Prince continued speaking, saying that your entanglement with Lin Qingyue was nothing but a disgraceful act. With any woman you desire, why would you cling to her?
"But Father, that is Lin Qingyue!" Che Chengyun exclaimed.
"Hahaha, she is a female general. If we can subdue her, it will be even more satisfying, right?" His father, being a man himself, naturally understood his thoughts. Although Lin Qingyue commanded the Wan Dajun and could mobilize Two Hundred Thousand Troops, without Jiang Han's supply of provisions and if the court did not support her, she would have no territory of her own!
Her Two Hundred Thousand Troops would fall apart in just a month!
The Langya Prince analyzed the situation and declared that without Jiang Han, Lin Qingyue was nothing but a useless pawn. His cold gaze swept over Che Chengyun as he said: "Now, we have two choices!
The first is to capture Lin Qingyue, bind her, and send her to Jiang Han in hopes of winning him over to our side! At the same time, we will petition the court to grant him the title of Earl! We will offer him beauty and status; if he still refuses...
Then we will have to choose the second option!"
Che Chengyun chimed in, "To kill Jiang Han?"
The Langya Prince nodded slightly. "We have come this far; he must choose us or die. As for Lin Qingyue, do not covet such a useless woman anymore—especially since she has rejected Jiang Han's marriage proposal. If you approach Lin Qingyue now, it would only provoke Jiang Han's wrath!"
"But Father!" Che Chengyun couldn't help but ask. "Jiang Han is just a commoner. Do we really need him? Why not find an excuse to imprison him and torture him for information?"
"Half of the court is on our side; we cannot do that," the Langya Prince replied, feeling that his heir might not be suitable for inheriting the throne.
He continued: "Do you think the Lingnan King and the Emperor are fools? Our previous opposition to Jiang Han was due to his low value. Now actively opposing him would be equivalent to handing over our interests to the Lingnan King and the Emperor unless Jiang Han openly declares his stance against us. If he does not give us any leeway privately, then killing Jiang Han can wait."
As the old fox in the court, the Langya Prince held sway over half the kingdom and was well-versed in human nature. He was reluctant to offend Jiang Han too severely unless absolutely necessary, especially since Jiang Han was someone who could still be courted.
However, did he really have to strip Lin Qingyue bare, bind her up, and deliver her to Jiang Han? Che Chengyun found it hard to accept.
Slap!
The Langya Prince struck Che Chengyun across the face, furious. "How can you be so reluctant over a mere woman? Do you even deserve to be my heir? Now, I command you to capture Lin Qingyue—she must be brought to me intact!"
"You go after Lin Qingyue, and I will seek out Jiang Han! Before dawn tomorrow, I want to see Lin Qingyue at the Xuan Camp. You can use it for this task."
Having heard this, Che Chengyun could only clasp his fists and leave to take command of the Xuan Camp among the four great battle camps under his father's rule in order to capture Lin Qingyue.
After Che Chengyun departed, the Langya Prince summoned his trusted advisor, Xu Qiu.
Xu Qiu spoke cautiously, "My lord, although the heir has had conflicts with Jiang Han in the past, if we proceed with this plan, Jiang Han is likely to calm down. If you value the Compressed Biscuit and are willing to make amends, perhaps let the heir bow and apologize to Jiang Han."
"As long as he bows and apologizes, Jiang Han might agree to trade us the Compressed Biscuit, which would be immensely profitable!"
Che Chengyun had fallen out with Jiang Han. Now, the royal residence needed Jiang Han's Compressed Biscuit! The only option left was for the heir to swallow his pride and apologize.
Xu Qiu added that for the sake of preserving face, it would be better for the heir to apologize privately to Jiang Han.
