I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 371: 8 Miles of Urgent, Border Invasion

After Old Xing finished yelling, he and Old Zhou looked at each other.

"Old Zhou, today we two brothers are going to die here together."

"Lao Xing, you are the elder brother and I am a brother. Let's drink together on the road to the underworld. We won't be lonely.

But let me make this clear first. After we die, don't rush to reincarnate. I want to stay here and see with my own eyes that the prince avenges us!"

"Hahahaha, that's great! I, Old Xing, feel the same way!"

Old Xing waved his injured right arm and picked up a knife from the ground with his left hand.

Lao Zhou was holding a spear, and the two of them roared together, jumped down from the roof, and killed Qi Yan Huihe.

But there were many guards between them and Qiyan Huihe.

Before he died, Lao Xing injured a barbarian, and before he fell, Lao Zhou stabbed a barbarian to death with his spear.

The two brothers fell to the ground together, with smiles on their faces.

Each of them killed more than one.

made money.

Qi Yan Huihe rode over on his horse, glanced at the corpse at his feet with indifferent eyes, and asked doubtfully,

“It’s strange, after losing, the tribes on the grasslands would surrender and join the victorious tribe so they could continue to live.

Keben Khan gave them the opportunity, why didn't they surrender?"

A sly-looking man behind him quickly flattered,

"Wang Khan, these remnants of the Great Xia in the Central Plains are all weaklings. They have backbone but no fighting power.

Now that Wang Khan has unified the grassland, it is a good time to march south.

When we reach the plains of the Central Plains, our cavalry will be invincible, and we can slaughter their men at will and rob their women and wealth."

Wang Han thought about it, shook his head and said,

“No rush. We didn’t know much about Dayan before. We only knew that Dayan was very poor and we couldn’t invade it, so we came here to plunder the wealthy Dakun Kingdom.

Now that Dayan has destroyed Dakun, I don’t know whether it has become stronger or weaker.

So we need to test it out.”

The lackey behind him asked doubtfully,

"How can it become weaker? If a country devours another country, won't it become stronger? Our tribe has become stronger by devouring other tribes."

Wang Han slowly shook his head and said,

"Not necessarily. According to the Kun merchants who came to the grasslands to trade, Dayan and the other two countries destroyed Kun and divided it up.

The State of Yan was very weak and poor. It had experienced a war that destroyed its country and perhaps lacked military strength. It was now in urgent need of recovery.

Of course, it is also possible that it will become stronger as you said.

We provoked the State of Yan this time just to see its attitude.

If Yan State remains silent and pretends to know nothing, it means that it is a weak and cowardly country, and we can take the opportunity to go south and plunder at will.

If Yan State sends tens of thousands of troops to attack us and we fight back for revenge, it means that they are not weak and still have the strength to wage war.

Then we will drive them away, and then attack Caogu first. After we have completely integrated all the tribes and have strong soldiers and horses, we will move south.

During this period, we must keep a close eye on the situation in the south. If Yan State starts fighting with other countries again, it will be a good opportunity for us."

"Wang Han is wise and more thoughtful than we thought."

"Haha, cut off all the heads of these people, pile them together, and then burn all the bodies.

These people are not worthy of entering the Eternal Heaven after death."

"As ordered!"

……

south.

Qi and Qin had stationed troops on the border for a long time. After Qi had warned Liang many times without success, it began to march into Liang's territory, hoping to scare Liang again.

But Qin was different. It had been agreed that if Qi attacked, it would attack.

It didn't care whether Qi was feinting or threatening, it just sent its army to attack and kill Liang, determined to avenge it.

The State of Liang immediately ordered its border troops to fight, and at the same time, it recruited able-bodied men in the country and forced them to conscript a total of 400,000 soldiers in preparation for fighting the Qin army.

As for the State of Qi, seeing that Qin's allies had joined the fight, they felt embarrassed not to join in. After all, they were the ones who had called Qin over. Could it be that they had tricked Qin into joining the fight against Liang?

As a result, Qi's western army also attacked Liang.

Then the army from Xingyang Pass also entered Xingyang County and fought with the Liang army.

The State of Liang seemed to be fighting on three fronts and was suffering terribly.

Yan State, court.

Today is destined not to be a peaceful day.

Because the envoy from Liang State came again.

Of course, Shen Changgong knew why the envoys from Liang State came. They must have wanted Yan State to send troops because Yan State had not sent troops.

But the war has just begun. Liang has suffered no losses, and the armies of Qi and Qin have not suffered much losses either. If Yan rushes in now, it will definitely win, but there will be losses, and it will not be conducive to attacking Liang in the future.

In Shen Changgong's opinion, either they would wait until Liang State was crippled and then come to rescue, so that Liang State would be grateful to them, and the agreed joint attack on Qi would become a joint attack on Liang State, which was a different nature.

After all, it is better to provide help when it is needed than to add icing on the cake.

Or, wait until Liang is destroyed before sending troops, so that the territories of Qi and Liang can be directly occupied.

He would pretend to look for the royal family of Liang. If he couldn't find them, that would be fine. But if he did, he would just force them to write down that all the territory of Liang belonged to Yan.

It’s just… I’ve already made excuses several times, and I really don’t have any good reasons to refuse anymore.

Otherwise, agree to send troops first, and then advance slowly?

The court meeting was still going on and Shen Changgong was still thinking hard.

Outside the palace, the envoys from Liang State were also waiting.

Anxiously waiting for Emperor Yan and Shen Changgong to summon them.

At this moment, a horse whizzed past the Liang envoy and entered the palace gate, shouting as it ran.

"Eight hundred miles, urgent! The border is being invaded! Eight hundred miles, urgent! Get out of the way!"

Hearing this, the envoy from Liang was confused and didn't know what was going on.

Who would invade the border of Yan at this time? Liang is certainly out of the question, but does Qi have the courage to do so?

The communications soldier rode his horse to the outside of the Golden Palace, dismounted, and ran quickly into the hall.

Only the express messengers who could travel 800 miles had the authority to enter the palace without any permission, and anyone who tried to stop them would be punished with death.

The signalman took the letter and quickly ran into the hall, knelt on one knee and said,

"Your Majesty, our northern border has been invaded by the grassland barbarians. Our Yellow Earth Fort was breached by the enemy, and all the soldiers inside were killed.

The enemy cut off the heads of our soldiers and piled them up to form a mausoleum. All the bodies were thrown together and burned. It was difficult to distinguish their identities. They were connected together. It was a horrific sight, like hell on earth.

Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
