Six of the deputy generals died. Although Zhang Ze gave the order to retreat at the first possible moment to preserve the majority of his troops, to the Yanbei Army, this war was simply too hard.

There were still heavy casualties.

It could be said that this was the biggest battle that the Yanbei Army had lost after Feng Qi's death in Yan Bei. Although this battle wouldn't injure the vitality of the Yanbei Army, the troops sent by the Duke had no way to fight against Nan Jin Zhao anymore.

"What is gunpowder?" After listening for a long time, Chang Ze finally understood a little bit of what was going on. He also knew that they would lose, and lose so miserably. It wasn't because they were weaker than others, but rather …

The opponent was too treacherous. They were tricked by Nan Jin Zhao, which was why they lost so badly.

Although saying so felt like pushing away their responsibility, but this way of saying it made their hearts feel a lot better.

It had to be known that ever since the return of the princes and concubines, they'd had a backbone and never had to worry about food or clothing. They'd never been able to make up for such a crushing defeat again.

"This time, it really hurt their self-esteem." Gunpowder was a weapon created by the princess. It was extremely powerful and could destroy mountains and seas. At that time, the princess had only used a dozen or so powder to flatten a mountain. When we saw it, we were shocked... " Someone recalled the scene back then and could not help but to admire Ji Yunkai even more.

His eyes seemed to shine …

"Besides medical skills, my mother also knows how to make weapons?" Chang Ze's curiosity was piqued. For the time being, he forgot about the anger and helplessness brought about by his defeat.

"There's a lot of stuff that the princess knows. She's not only good at making weapons, but she's also very strong. At that time, Feng … It's Young Master Feng Qi, the one who rescued them from within the Villa. "

"At that time, if it wasn't for Princess Hua-Yang, even if Prince Hua-Yang wasn't able to come out, you wouldn't know …" How powerful was the wangfei back then? So many people wanted to harm her, yet all of them lost in the end. "

"Princess has also saved many women … "In the early years, there was a person from the Medicine Order who, under the banner of treating the sick and saving the sick, actually harmed pregnant women and tested medicines on women and children. It was only the Crown Princess who destroyed the Medicine Order."

… ….

Perhaps the shadow of defeat was too heavy for them. It was too much of a blow, and they needed some faith to raise their morale. As a result …

The soldiers then started to talk about Ji Yunkai's past, and when they mentioned Ji Yunkai's great achievements, they could not stop, and all of them started to dance with excitement, their faces flushed red, without a hint of the shadow of defeat.

Changze remembers, but.

He really wanted to know what happened to his parents.

It was just like how his parents were so anxious to understand how he had grown up. He was also eager to find out about the things that had happened in the past, but …

His parents didn't like to talk about it.

When he once asked, his mother was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "It's all in the past, there's nothing to mention."

His father's reaction …

He really did not want to talk about it. Whenever he mentioned it, he would feel sad. At one point, he even suspected that he was not his biological father.

The moment he mentioned that he wanted to hear about the past between him and his mother, his father would change his mind and look at him with eyes that were like ice, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to ask again ever since.

He quietly asked Big Brother Mo Mo about it, but unfortunately Big Brother Mo Mo didn't know much, so the things he could ask about were very limited.

After hearing everyone talk about his mother, although Chang Ze was worried about the war, he was still reluctant to interrupt.

He wanted to hear.

It was just that at first it was fine, but the more he listened to it later on, the more he felt that something was amiss.

Why did it have to be so tough?

How could there be so many people bullying his mother?

Why did his father bully his mother?

This was different from what he saw. His father had behaved obediently in front of his mother, but now he had listened to everything her mother said. How could he bully her?

These people must be wrong.

Chang Ze was very angry. As he was about to argue with these people, he heard an assistant general say emotionally, "Speaking of which, the wangfei really isn't easy. "Originally, she could have just entered the palace and become the empress. Not to mention ruining the emperor's face, the emperor still wants an imperial concubine to marry a dying prince."

"At that time, the Prince's situation was truly terrible, and it was almost impossible to keep his life. "It's all thanks to Princess Hua-Yang's medical skills. If it were anyone else, they would have died along with Prince Lu in his presence."

"Even if the prince's illness is cured, the wangfei is still too bitter. Your highness' character, you and I both know it... The prince was a proud person, so how could he accept a princess who had been forcefully pushed over? Thinking about it, it must have been extremely difficult for Princess Hua-Yang to live her life in the capital. "

The crowd kept talking, and the words that left Chang Ze's mouth caused him to forcefully hold back his emotions...

Could it be that his father really was bad to his mother?

Zhang Ze looked at the wolf cub and asked him with his eyes, "Is this for real?"

The wolf cub spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either, but...

The little wolf cub guessed that what these people said was most likely true. These people were all people belonging to the prince, how could they dare to carelessly slander the prince? From the look on the wolf cub's face, Chang Ze could guess what was going on. He immediately became sluggish until he heard someone say, "Back then, even the imperial concubine had to struggle to get here. What's so difficult about our little problem? We can use gunpowder, but we can make gunpowder. You know, gunpowder is the princess

They made it first. No one's stronger than our wangfei. "

"That's right, that's right. We can't hide today's matter from you. Write a letter to the prince and the princess. We must make Nan Jin Zhao's actions known to the public, and then we can fight back."

"No matter what, we have to call a truce first. We can't go head to head against South Jin Zhao at this time. We are too clear on the power of gunpowder. If they really fight, we will be the ones at a disadvantage."

The generals chattered on for a long time before they finally cleared the haze of defeat. Their spirits were restored as they discussed the future plans with high spirits and started to counterattack.

Chang Ze stood to the side and silently shut his gaping mouth …

His mother had said that his main task right now was to learn.

Listen and think too much. Don't be in a hurry to speak, and don't express your opinions. Especially, don't let others praise you and make decisions just because you are hot-headed. There were many stupid people in this world, but there were even more smart people, especially the older ones who had more experience than him. He couldn't be a little bit smart and think that he was invincible …
