Chapter 826 The Sky Collapses! (Big Chapter)

It's normal for children of this age to cry more. When the Crown Prince first came to the Pingxi Prince's residence, he also cried. Then, in the following days, he became more and more energetic, and no longer had the depressed air of a little adult that had previously plagued him.

In the past, in the palace in Yanjing City, as the eldest grandson of the Emperor, he had to pay attention to his image as the eldest grandson of the Emperor outside, and he also had to understand the subtle emotions revealed by his father at home, especially when facing his Imperial Grandfather. He was clearly afraid in his bones, but for his father and for the future, he still had to find ways to make his Imperial Grandfather happy.

Other children of this age were only focused on being mischievous and playing as they pleased, but he had already begun to be forced into business.

Other people's fathers held their children in their hands for fear of dropping them, and kept them in their mouths for fear of melting them. But for him, it was made clear early on: Son, we father and son have to work together.

After his Imperial Grandfather passed away and his father ascended the throne, he went from being the heir of a Prince's estate to the Crown Prince. The departure of his Imperial Grandfather did not take away the original repression. Instead, the original invisible shackles began to gradually become tangible.

He began to doubt, he began to be wary.

A child holding a handful of New Year's money had to cautiously look around for fear of someone snatching it away, let alone the fact that what the Crown Prince was holding was not as simple as New Year's money.

But after arriving at the Pingxi Prince's residence, everything seemed to change.

At first, Prince Pingxi held Tian Tian and asked him if he liked the clothes on the Crown Prince. During the enfeoffment ceremony, he even let him follow behind and continue to hold Tian Tian.

The Crown Prince knew what was disrespectful and what the imperial family was. Logically speaking, he should have been terrified, he should have been fearful, and even, he should have hated, because Prince Pingxi's actions had sown the seeds of hatred early on.

But unexpectedly, he didn't.

People are different. The common people and wealthy children, wealthy children and aristocratic children, aristocratic children and imperial children, and imperial children and the Crown Prince. In terms of thinking, they have actually been folded countless times.

When the Crown Prince discovered that the things he was most nervous about had become insignificant here, and that Prince Pingxi didn't treat him as the Crown Prince at all, but simply as a "burden" from a friend's family, he felt much more relaxed and at ease.

Oh, so I'm not that great after all, haha, that's great.

The only one suffering was probably Tian Tian.

His godfather had no taboos, but he, as an older brother, was always in the habit of worrying about the people around him. In Si Niang's words, if Tian Tian continued to grow up at this rate, he would definitely be a "warm man" in the future.

Heaven have mercy, since his younger brother, the Crown Prince, moved into the house, Tian Tian hadn't eaten "Dragon Throne" flavored sachima in a long time.

The Crown Prince was still crying. It was just a game, and it was just an accident, but for some reason, he couldn't stop the tears, he just wanted to cry.

As he cried, he couldn't stop, but he felt very guilty towards Tian Tian, who was always comforting him, and said:

"Tian Tian Ge, let me cry for a while longer. It'll be fine when the water in my body is all cried out."

Children's metaphors are often nonsensical.

At least, in Tian Tian's ears, it sounded as if this younger brother had suffered a great grievance, and he wouldn't stop until he had cried himself as dry as his great-grandfather.

"Good boy, good boy, if you cry any more, it's going to rain. If it rains, we won't be able to go out and play."

"Gege is lying to me, where is it raining?"

…

"My lord, it's raining."

Ran Min waved his hand, rejecting his personal guard's suggestion to let him go inside.

Looking around, with this small village as the center, all under the rain were his soldiers.

Living people can't be held back by urine, and soldiers can't really starve to death.

If soldiers starve to death, it's definitely not because there are no provisions in the army, but because there are no provisions in the surrounding area.

This army, which attempted to make a final decision and therefore marched quickly to this place, naturally couldn't carry too many provisions.

Back then, when Prince Pingxi was at Xuehai Pass, every time before setting out on an expedition, he would first give the soldiers bone soup and stuffed steamed buns to fill them up, supplemented by a sufficient amount of fried noodles for the people to eat and beans for the horses to eat, sufficient salt cloth,腊肉 (preserved meat), and so on.

But that was, after all, the Prince of Pingxi's and the Prince of Pingxi's army's expedition model. In the early years, the Prince of Pingxi basically pawned all of his family fortune every time he led his army on an expedition, hoping to redeem it and double it after winning. Only now that his family fortune was thick did he become calm.

The armies in other parts of the Yan Kingdom don't have such detailed and sufficient war preparation rules, and Ran Min set out immediately after receiving the Liang Kingdom's lord's letter for help. The soldiers prepared their own food according to their experience and set off.

The Commander-in-Chief believed that this battle only needed the word "fast", and the soldiers below didn't think that the Liang Kingdom's rebels would be any match, which was equivalent to a horse racing tour.

However, the problem of food and grass could still be supplemented by looting the local area, and Ran Min felt no psychological pressure in doing this.

Neither Xie Yu'an nor the Liang Kingdom's Prime Minister could do a "clear fields" policy in advance, first, because there wasn't enough time, and second, doing so would inevitably alert the enemy.

The problem of eating could be solved temporarily, but the army's room for advance and retreat was being constantly compressed.

In addition to the garrison in Wenming County continuing to hold out, Liang troops also appeared on the north and south sides of Wenming Mountain.

Liang Kingdom had just undergone a coup, and although the new ruler tried his best to appease the army after ascending the throne, at this time, the Liang Kingdom's army, except for General Pu's branch, had almost no combat power.

Ran Min didn't care about the threat of the two Liang armies. In fact, his own sentries could force the other side to stop and cause chaos. If he wanted to, he could concentrate the troops at hand and charge towards one of the Liang armies, and it would be easy to defeat them.

But the problem was,

What after defeating them?

If he defeated the one in the north, then he would have to take a detour through Qi Mountain to return to Jin, but the terrain of Qi Mountain was dangerous. If the Chu people were prepared, then he could only be at their mercy.

If he defeated the one in the south, could he continue south to the capital of the Liang Kingdom?

Three days had already passed. The Chu army was still using its own rhythm to move one stronghold a day to put pressure here, and the Liang army had also been dispatched, which meant that the coup in the capital was probably already settled.

Ran Min wouldn't naively think that someone would open the city gates to welcome his army after he led his troops below the capital of the Liang Kingdom.

But if he continued to leave those two Liang armies alone, even if they were two useless chess pieces, they still occupied the chess positions. Coordinating with Xie's army and Wenming County, a cage had actually been formed.

Generally speaking, this was a method used by the government army to suppress bandits, ambushing on all sides, suppressing from several directions, and finally trapping the bandits. After all, for the government, it was a failure if they couldn't annihilate the main force of the bandits, and the escaped fish would soon be able to pull together a rebellious force again.

Any county with a slightly experienced county commander could use the yamen runners and civilians in the county to set up a similar formation.

And what made Ran Min even more desperate was that,

His hesitation, his waiting, his looking forward and backward, had made the rope around his neck tighter and tighter.

Reason told him that the best choice at this time would be to leave Wenming Mountain, go east, break through the Chu army's interception, bypass Lion Head Pass via Wenxin Lake, and then return north to Jin.

But intuition told him that if he went this way, the best result would be that he would be able to bring back half of his soldiers. In other words, at least half or even most of the soldiers would have to be lost in this large detour in the face of interception.

And the insecurity of not being able to exert the advantages of the Yan cavalry in the wetlands of Wenxin Lake made him very resistant.

Returning with a loss of troops and generals was crime number one. The Liang Kingdom's coup once again leaning towards the Chu Kingdom meant that the four-nation alliance he had previously planned and managed had become a bubble. These two crimes were enough to completely knock him into the dust. The best result would be to be transferred to a useless garrison in some inland stronghold.

This was what Ran Min couldn't accept the most!

Reaching out,

He wiped the rain off his face.

Ran Min vigorously twisted his neck.

Perhaps,

His hesitation wasn't really hesitating, and his waiting wasn't really waiting.

Because he always knew what he had to do and what he should do,

And that was:

"Wealth..."

…

"We can only seek it in danger."

Meng Gong stood in front of the map, pointing to the map behind him, and said to the many generals present:

"Everyone, in this battle, this is the only way!"

Sitting below were the new generation of Qian army generals who had been promoted in recent years.

Han Wu, Le Huan, Zu Dongling, and Zhong Tianlang.

Ever since the end of the Three Kingdoms War, the Jin, which had been destroyed, was no longer laughed at because it was gone. Only the Qian, which had not lost an inch of territory, had always been the object of ridicule by the various Xia countries.

Even the new army training led by the Qian Kingdom's official himself was seen by other countries as nothing more than putting old wine in new bottles. A hundred years had passed, and the world had changed, but the Qian Kingdom's army had always firmly maintained its tradition of being very useless.

"The bait of Ran Min's unit has been prepared. Now, we're just waiting for the Yan Kingdom's Nanmen Pass to make another move."

Meng Gong slammed his fist on the position of Nanmen Pass on the map.

"What if the Yan people don't come out?" Han Wu asked.

Le Huan directly denied: "No, the Yan people will definitely send troops to rescue them. The Yan people are arrogant, especially in recent years, they can be said to be invincible, and they regard the soldiers and horses of other countries as toys. The Yan people will not allow themselves to bury an army like this without any gain."

Meng Gong smiled and said, "The Yi Shan Earl, who was originally stationed in the Su Shan camp in Jin, was like the Prince of Pingxi, an old subordinate of the Jingnan Prince. Although this person did not inherit all of the Jingnan Prince's mantle like the Prince of Pingxi, he still used his troops cautiously.

After the Commander-in-Chief of Nanmen Pass led his troops out of the pass rashly, in theory, the defense of Nanmen Pass should have been taken over by the Yi Shan Earl, Chen Yang, of the Su Shan camp, so as to formulate a southward combat plan.

But now, the Imperial Envoy sent by the Yan Kingdom's Emperor and the Yi Shan Earl are 'fighting' fiercely. The latest intelligence shows that this Imperial Envoy is even threatening to stop the transportation of food and grass, demanding that the generals under the Yi Shan Earl submit."

"Isn't this too stupid?"

Zu Dongling laughed.

Han Wu, Le Huan, and Meng Gong and others did not join in the ridicule.

Zhong Tianlang then said: "Back then, the civil officials of my Qian Kingdom were much stupider than this."

When it came to dragging their feet, the civil officials of the Qian Kingdom said they were second, and no one really dared to call themselves first.

"The Yan people are also people, and the Yan Kingdom's court is also a court. The smooth sailing of the past few years does not mean that the Yan people will not make some mistakes. The main thing is to see if we can seize this opportunity.

Counting the days, Li Fusheng's unit should be arriving at Su Shan soon.

Li Fusheng has always had the nickname 'Mad Demon' and likes to kill.

In the desert, he liked to slaughter the barbarian tribes, from top to bottom, leaving no one alive. Later, he moved to the Jingnan Prince's command. Whenever there was a battle, the Prince of Pingxi liked to sit behind the scenes, planning and strategizing. Li Fusheng was the opposite, and he liked to personally lead the assault battalion to charge.

If Yi Shan Earl is emptied, then according to Li Fusheng's nature, hearing that an Yan army is trapped in Liang, his first reaction must be... excitement.

Eating a Ran Min is a great victory, especially when the Yan people are now at their peak.

But for us, it's far from enough. A Ran Min is not enough to shock the Yan people. This time, we'll gamble on luck. If he, Li Fusheng, is really like that Ran Min, leading his army to rush to the rescue;

Then we,

Will have a real closed-door beating of the dog!

Everyone,

This battle, although it is fought in the Liang Kingdom, is related to the future national fortune of my Great Qian. The momentum of the Yan people must be suppressed here!

If it can't be suppressed, or if there are any other problems,

Let's not talk about the Liang Kingdom for now,

Wei, Qi, Zhao, and other small countries are probably going to completely submit to the Yan people.

Therefore,

This battle must not be lost!"

The generals immediately stood up:

"Yes!"

A personal guard came in with tea, and the previous tense atmosphere was also dissipated a lot.

Meng Gong also came down, with his hands in his sleeves, and said:

"We also have some fate. When the Prince of Pingxi attacked Mianzhou City for the second time, I was the one guarding the city at that time, and Zhong Shao Shuai was the one who led the Xijun cavalry to pursue him.

Later, when the Yan people went south, Li Fusheng's unit was where the Prince of Pingxi was.

At that time, my Qian army happened to go north to block him.

Our army was defeated,

And the one leading the army was Commander Zu's older brother;

Commander Han and Commander Le were also among them, and turned into defeated soldiers."

Speaking of this, the generals present did not show any shame or anger on their faces, and no one blamed Meng Gong for bringing up old wounds at this time.

Because many years had passed,

Along with the rise of the Prince of Pingxi step by step,

Even the defeated generals of that year could say that they had fought against the Prince of Pingxi back then;

This was also considered some kind of qualification.

However,

Zhong Tianlang's next sentence made the atmosphere in the commander's tent truly cool down.

He said:

"It's a pity that Zheng Fan is not at Nanmen Pass."

Han Laowu used his fingernails to pick his teeth, as if he could get his teeth stuck even when drinking tea.

Le Huan lowered his head, as if drowsiness had suddenly struck him.

As the nominal commander of this Qian army's expedition,

Meng Gong bluntly said:

"On this point, I agree with that Xie family's Young Master. If the Prince of Pingxi were sitting in Nanmen Pass, we wouldn't be thinking about how to fish now, but thinking about how to withdraw our troops to avoid this net."

Zhong Tianlang, who was the son-in-law of the Great Qian, said disdainfully:

"Could it be that we can only run away whenever we encounter that Zheng Fan in the future?"

Han Laowu smiled and said, "Shao Shuai, don't worry, we have to eat one bite at a time, right?"

Le Huan nodded and said, "Let's have a great victory first, let the soldiers and their children restore their energy and spirit, and let the common people, the officials in the court, and the officials know that the Yan people are not invincible.

After that, when we face that Prince of Pingxi, we will truly have confidence in our hearts."

Zhong Tianlang was still unconvinced in his heart, because from beginning to end, he had never really been defeated, and had even been one step away from killing the Prince of Pingxi, who was still a garrison at the time. If he had caught up that time, there would be no Prince of Pingxi in the future.

It was just that Shao Shuai Zhong didn't know that it was actually twice.

That time was even closer, because when he led his army into Yan and asked people for directions, he found the Prince of Pingxi at that time, and he also shot the Prince of Pingxi with an arrow, but it was blocked by a stone in the Prince of Pingxi's arms.

If this Shao Shuai Zhong had the consistent good tradition of the Prince of Pingxi, and had to touch the corpse and go up and give a special finishing blow after killing someone;

Then, the legend of the Prince of Pingxi would probably have been ended that night ahead of schedule.

Just then, a messenger galloped to the commander's tent:

"Report!!!

The front reports that the Yan Kingdom's Huwei Earl..."

…

"Li Fusheng has been transferred?"

The Prince of Pingxi was drinking tea while making his own tobacco leaves.

"Yes, Master. The transfer was in a hurry, and the notification document should have been sent later."

The Pingxi Prince's Mansion in Jindong can be said to be a war zone, and Yindu is also considered a war zone. The factions in each war zone are different, and the composition of the army is also different, but in the end, they are all under that "Black Dragon Flag". Military transfers of this kind must be notified in advance so that the other party can make corresponding adjustments.

In most cases, they have to be notified in advance.

"Where was he transferred to?"

"It should be to the west."

"It's not possible that he was transferred back to Yan, right?" Zheng Fan said with a smile.

"Some time ago, there was news that the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Court encountered a lot of resistance when collecting the military power of the Jingnan Army's lineage, especially from the Yi Shan Earl, Chen Yang, of the Su Shan Camp.

This news was mentioned by Xu Wenzu in his private letter to you, Master.

So, your subordinate guesses that Li Fusheng's garrison should have been transferred to the Su Shan Camp of Chen Yang."

The exchange of letters between Yindu and Fengxin City is very frequent. Of course, Zheng Fan was too lazy to even read Xiao Liu Zi's letters back then, and all of them were replied to by the Blind Man. He was naturally too lazy to read Xu Fat Fat's letters.

Anyway, it was enough for the Blind Man to digest and absorb them, and then give him a brief summary.

The Prince's Mansion has been maintaining a cooling attitude towards matters west of Jindong during this period.

One is because the Prince's Mansion's main energy is still focused on Chu and the snow plains, after all, these two places are the real key points.

The second is because Ji Laoliu is so kind, and he has taken care of everything he should have thought of and shouldn't have thought of. He even sent the Crown Prince to his side to raise, so he has to sell him a favor anyway.

This is actually the imperial court and the Prince's Mansion, under a common tacit understanding, jointly digesting and dividing up the Jingnan Army's system.

"I know Chen Yang's temper. He's a bit explosive. Except for Lao Tian, he's afraid of no one."

"Hehe, Master, your subordinate believes that the Imperial Envoy's methods may have also intensified the contradictions, but this is also unavoidable. First, dividing power is easier to be feared and hated than dividing family property, and second, the imperial court has always been delegating power to the military warlords and localities these years. After suddenly starting to turn the page and change course, the people handling things below will inevitably be inexperienced."

"Well, by the way, I saw in Jin Shukui's report that there are also some movements in Chu. The soldiers and horses have begun to shrink, and civilians are also being conscripted."

"Master, your subordinate has paid attention to this matter, but your subordinate is not good at military affairs..."

"There are no signs of large-scale mobilization of troops and transportation of food and grass, so they are not going to attack us. Instead, it's like they are guarding against us attacking them.

Did you blow any wind outside again?"

"Your subordinate did not."

"Didn't? Hey, that's strange. I'm just preparing to spend time peacefully at home with my pregnant wife. Why do the Chu people think that I'm going to be idle and attack them?"

"Perhaps it's a routine mobilization?"

"It won't be. Although there are no signs of large-scale mobilization of troops, and Gou Moli in Fancheng has not reported that the Chu people are planning to attack him there, the mobilization of civilians and the shrinking of the army alone are actually equivalent to starting war preparations. Even if there is no war, the daily consumption of materials is very large. You should be clear about this."

"Yes."

"So, I know that after the Chu people received the Qian Kingdom's funding, they may have some more money in hand, but I don't think the Qian Kingdom's funding can allow the Chu Kingdom to build so freely. The Qian people's milk is not so sufficient."

"Your subordinate will order our spies to investigate as much as possible."

"Well, it's better to investigate clearly. Don't look at my brother-in-law always getting bumps all over his head from me, but I've never underestimated him."

"Yes, being cautious is always right. In addition, Master, there is one thing your subordinate needs to report."

"Speak, cough, cough..."

Zheng Fan lit his pipe, took a puff, coughed, and then put it aside. He wasn't used to smoking it.

"Your subordinate has recently been keeping an eye on a person. There is a Xie family among the four pillars of Chu, and the Xie family has a young master who is known as the Q千里驹 (Thousand-Li Colt)."

"You can handle it as you see fit, but there's no need to be suspicious, otherwise we'll become like big villains, and we have to target any peerless genius in advance, hehe."

Zheng Fan didn't care much about this matter, after all, nothing had been decided yet.

The Blind Man didn't nag about this matter any further, and instead changed the topic and said, "Master, your subordinate has observed that the rainfall in Jin this summer has increased a lot."

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "Is there going to be a disaster again?"

"That's not necessarily the case. First, it's definitely not as serious as the year of the nationwide attack on Chu, and second, the river works of Wangjiang have been completed with the participation of the Fifth Prince. If there are no problems with Wangjiang, the flood problems won't be too big.

The main thing is that your subordinate feels that this year's weather will be more extreme. Xu Wenzu's official letter also contains predictions from the Qintianjian (Imperial Astronomical Observatory) of Yindu that this year's winter may come earlier and may be colder."

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Zheng Fan laughed.

Back then, when he was assassinated on the Wangjiang River, according to Zheng Fan's nature, if the monk could run away, the temple couldn't. He should have carried out a bloodbath of the Qintianjian, but who knew that Yindu had finished it in advance, so this matter was dropped.

"Letting those Qi Refiners be weather forecasters is also professionally relevant."

Thinking about it,

Zheng Fan realized something and said to the Blind Man:

"The Snow Plains?"

"Master is wise."

The Snow Plains were already in a harsh environment, especially under this extreme weather. It was just a bit of suffering in Jin, but a large number of people would starve and freeze to death in the Snow Plains.

The environment was poor, the economic structure was poor, and the ability to resist risks was naturally poor.

According to the usual script, this condition would force the tribes of the Snow Plains to unite and plunder south in order to obtain survival supplies. Even if they couldn't grab anything, killing a group of people could also alleviate the crisis on the Snow Plains.

The Yan people were actually very familiar with this. In the early years, once there was a year of large-scale natural disasters, the older Yan people knew that the barbarians on the desert were coming and had to be prepared.

If the various Xia were unified, and the Snow Plains and the Desert also submitted, and everyone was one country and one territory, with one side having difficulty, all sides would support it.

But the problem is that now everyone is a separate system, so naturally it is impossible to give you an advantage for nothing. If you don't give it, I can't live, so I can only grab it.

"In the Snow Plains, prepare in advance. The matter of immigration can be intensified."

"Yes, your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will come up with a whole set of plans and submit them to you, Master, at that time."

"There's no need for that. I'm relieved when you do things. If you have any problems, you can discuss them with Si Niang.

There are only two things, one, continue to divide them, and don't let the Snow Plains produce a second Savage King, and two, we can relax some of the review conditions for those nobles who are willing to come in."

"Yes."

"In addition, while nothing has happened yet, increase the price to purchase from the Snow Plains. After winter, sell it back;

Alas, I'm worried that the people of the Snow Plains don't understand the principles of a steady stream and savings, so I'm adding a guarantee for them in advance. Is that a bit too Mother Teresa?"

"Master has always been so kind."

"Then you have to remind me more. I know you don't like Mother Teresa."

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

"In the past, I always felt bored after staying at home for a long time, so I wanted to go out and stroll around, or even fight a war or something. Now I'm looking forward to being at home."

As he said that,

Zheng Fan picked up the pipe he had put down earlier and started tinkering with it again.

"Master, if you're not used to smoking it, there's no need to force yourself."

"I'll try again. This pipe is very well-made. I'm reluctant to just use it as an ornament. Oh, yes, I heard that our shop in Fengxin City has started selling tobacco."

"Yes, Master."

Currently, Wushi Powder is still the most popular, and the Qian people especially admire it. In many places, tobacco is still used as mugwort for warding off evil spirits.

"Close it down. Smoking is harmful to your health."

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

"Come, the fire starter is over there, light a fire for me."

The Blind Man picked up the fire starter with his hand and helped the Master relight the fire.

Taking a puff,

Zheng Fan put it down again and said:

"It's not the same taste as the rolled cigarettes you make for me."

"Your subordinate puts spices inside."

"You have a heart, but never mind, I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

"Hehe."

"I'm going to listen to the children's movements. In the past, I felt it was very silly to see those fathers put their ears on their wives' bellies, but now I realize that the silly one is actually me."

Zheng Fan stood up,

"Hehe, every time I think of the children, I can't wait."

…

"I can't wait, you damn bastard!"

"Ran Min, that wife-killing waste, waste, waste, he's completely disgraced the face of the Yan men, and he's still saying that he's contained the main force of the Chu army and told me to cooperate with him inside and outside to break through the Chu army!

Pui,

This low-ranking thing, apart from relying on stepping on women to get to the top, what other ability does he have!"

"Tell that dog avian Imperial Envoy that I'm not sending troops to wipe his ass, don't think I don't know about the things he's done himself. I'm afraid that the reputation of my Yan cavalry will be ruined, that's why I'm willing to lead the children to leave the pass and go south!"

"Tell that dog avian Yi Shan Earl again that he's a Qiu Ba, don't forget his duty, don't think that no one can clean him up now that Prince Jingnan is gone. Since he dares to pretend to be sick and not come out, someone will definitely make him truly paralyzed in bed and unable to get out of bed in the future!

He's learning from the Qian country! When did my Yan men learn to fight among themselves?"

"Damn you."

Li Fusheng's eyes began to turn red. He was really憋坏 (repressed).

Last time, he thought he could get into a fight, but who knew that Brother Zheng fought so beautifully that he was fully prepared, but it was completely out of his business.

This damn feeling of almost entering the lane but being forcibly interrupted almost wasted Li Fusheng's people.

Now it's good,

He has a battle to fight as soon as he's transferred over here. Hehe.

Li Fusheng said to his generals:

"The Chu women are itchy again. Let's go and loosen their muscles and bones!"

…

"Everyone, it's time to loosen our muscles and bones after hiding for so long!"

Meng Gong was in full armor, standing under the commander's flag. After receiving the news that Li Fusheng's unit had left the pass and was advancing towards Liang, the Qian army's commander's flag was raised.

"Actually, it doesn't matter how our muscles and bones are. The important thing is that before we set off, the official once instructed this commander that the official said that the muscles and bones of Great Qian have not been truly solid since a hundred years ago!

For a hundred years,

The Yan people have been flaunting their power and prestige in the north, and the Qian Kingdom has been trampled in the face over and over again.

My Great Qian,

Has the cultural style that crowns the various Xia!

My Great Qian,

Has the most fertile land in the world!

My Great Qian,

Is the land of origin of the various Xia!

But only,

The sons of my Great Qian are the most ridiculed by the people of the world. They laugh at us!

Back then,

When the Yan people went south,

We all lost, watching the Yan cavalry knock on the gates of my Shangjing City!

Now,

The official is working hard to govern and allows us to have high officials and generous salaries, and defines deep houses and high titles for us. The civil officials have been holding back their anger for a long time.

Life,

Face,

Are earned by ourselves!

In this battle,

We want to tell the Yan people in the north that the days of ordering Great Qian around are gone forever!

In this battle,

We want to tell those civil official masters that the sky of Great Qian is about to change. The official has helped us stand up, and we will never allow ourselves to lie down again!

This battle,

Must win!"

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

…

"Young Master, is there a certainty of victory in this battle?"

The newly enthroned Lord of the Liang Kingdom sat at the bottom, while Xie Yu'an sat in the seat of honor.

"What, is Your Majesty afraid?"

"I... I am afraid."

The Lord was somewhat young, but still older than Xie Yu'an. However, the difference between the two in terms of aura was very large.

"Now that things have come to this, what else can we say except to do our best? Or, what does Your Majesty want to hear from the mouth of this foreign minister?"

"I, I just want to ask for some bottom from Young Master."

"Bottom?"

"Yes, in these years, Father Emperor has been very close to the Yan Kingdom, and in these years, the Yan people have been conquering the north and the south. The countries of the various Xia, no, even the savages and barbarians, as long as there are challengers, none of them have been..."

"It is said that once the Yan cavalry charges on the battlefield, it is really like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking, which is shocking. In this situation, the soldiers have no courage to resist them at all."

"Yes."

"Ah?"

Xie Yu'an smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Yan army that is currently besieged in the Wenming Mountain area is just a relatively ordinary unit in the Yan army and cannot be considered elite.

But now, it has already been dispatched. Perhaps the Yan army that is about to enter the Liang Kingdom at this time is led by the commander Li Fusheng, who was one of the seven chief generals under the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in his early years. Moreover, because of his bravery in battle, he was named the Huwei Earl by the Yan Emperor. Being named an earl with the name of a Yan county is enough to show his position in the Yan army.

In his early years, he was in the desert, killing the desert barbarians so that they were terrified. He once led only 30,000 cavalry to break through to the Qian people's capital. Next, although his light was covered by the Yan Kingdom's Prince of Pingxi, he participated in almost every major battle of the Yan Kingdom and charged in the front, so he can be said to have made great contributions.

He likes to personally lead the assault battalion to seize the positions, and he must take the lead in every battle to encourage the soldiers, so his subordinates are best at fighting tough battles!
