Since everyone's opinion on Xia Guo was unanimous, Sheen naturally adopted everyone's wishes, thought about it, turned to Allen and asked, "The empire's army, can you still send an elite army?"

Alan thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "Yes, but it will take some preparation time." ↖”

"Alright, Alan, that's it. The military department will now begin to prepare for the formation of an elite force of no less than 1,000 soldiers as quickly as possible to fight at any time. As soon as the specific battle plan comes out, we will immediately need them to fight. Sheehan said.

"Yes, I understand. Alan replied.

Sheehan looked at the cabinet ministers and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" If there is nothing to add, I will present the contents of today's cabinet meeting to His Majesty for reading, word for word, and His Majesty will judge it!"

Everyone nodded yes and yes, indicating that they had complied with Sheehan's orders.

Only half an hour later, the telegram sent back by the Xinghua Intelligence Substation in Shucheng of the Xia Kingdom, the conversation records of the cabinet ministers, and a dispatch note written by Xi'en were sorted out by the emperor's secretary Wei Wenyuan and all presented to the emperor's study in the Xinghua Imperial Palace.

These are all documents that require the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, so Wei Wenyuan also made special marks on these documents. Yi Xingchen had explained to Wei Wenyuan earlier that any documents that needed to be dealt with urgently should be marked so that Yi Xingchen could review them first.

Therefore, as soon as Yi Xingchen saw that these documents had been marked by Wei Wenyuan, he did not delay, carefully read the documents from the cabinet, and wrote his opinion on them: "Agree." The military headquarters was ordered to select 800 elite soldiers, and the Royal Guard sent 500 elite soldiers to form the Eastern Protector Army of the Xinghua Empire. The commander of the People's Liberation Army is consulted by the Cabinet in consultation with the Ministry of War. Merit selection from officer training camps. It was formed within half a month and arrived at Snow Lotus Pass within a month. ”

After writing these instructions, Yi Xingchen thought for a while and added another order: "Because the Xinghua Empire is temporarily unable to occupy Shucheng in Yunzhou, the Xia State, the cabinet can come up with a response plan to unite the anti-Xia forces that can be united." We should take the initiative to sell weapons and equipment to enhance the combat effectiveness of the anti-Xia forces. ”

Yi Xingchen's decision is to make Yunzhou of Xia State become a whirlpool that consumes the national strength of Xia State, as long as Shu City can be captured, or at least Shucheng can be plunged into chaos, it can weaken the rear of Xia State and make Xia State lose the logistics base for attacking the Xinghua Empire.

Yi Xingchen has a tiger in his heart and has enough confidence. Nature is not afraid of the challenge of any country. Besides, before Yi Xingchen established the Xinghua Empire, the Xinghua army had fought with the army of the Xia State, and the two ** teams had already formed a grudge at that time, and more importantly, since the establishment of the Xinghua Empire and the later completion of the enthronement ceremony in Xinghua New City, many of these grand events have spread. When I arrived in the Xia Kingdom, it was like nothing. All the way. The Xia Emperor did not recognize the existence of the Xinghua Empire, which was clearly a blatant challenge to the majesty of the Xinghua Empire. As the so-called three feet of ice is not a day's cold, this kind of cause and effect has long made Yi Xingchen very dissatisfied with Xia Guo.

The establishment of the Xinghua Empire, in the Otherworldly Sky Continent, is indeed not news. But whether the Xinghua Empire is already a powerful country with a far-reaching reputation has to be said, after all, it is this Xia Kingdom that is already a dismissive attitude. That's why. It's time for the Xinghua Empire to establish its role.

Since this time, the Xia State has caused trouble again for no reason, and it is known to damage the interests of innocent caravans, then the Xinghua Empire can be regarded as finding a high-sounding excuse to send troops, first, it can teach the Xia State a lesson, so that the Xia Emperor will no longer dare to despise the Xinghua Empire as usual, and secondly, it can be regarded as killing chickens to show monkeys, so that all other countries on this continent have the opportunity to see the power of the Xinghua Empire. With the Xia Kingdom on this continent, it can be regarded as quite powerful, and it can just become the best stepping stone for the Xinghua Empire to establish its prestige. I believe that from now on, other countries on this continent will never do anything to the Xinghua Empire again.

Not only that, but as long as this battle is won, the Xinghua Empire will have another equally important benefit—the winning side of the war will often gain great wealth. The development of the Xinghua Empire always needs to be supported by a steady stream of a large amount of wealth, and this demand will never be outdated, so as long as the Xinghua Empire defeats the Xia State, it can obtain a considerable amount of wealth from the Xia State, which is naturally the icing on the cake for the construction of the Xinghua Empire.

Because of these many considerations, Yi Xingchen almost did not hesitate to write down this consent instruction, as well as the specific troop transfer plan, and agreed to this troop dispatch plan.

"The batch of sniper rifles purchased in Blue Mercury Huaguo, took out two hundred and half of the bullets, and handed them over to the People's Protector Army to form a sharpshooter battalion. "After determining the use of troops, the next step is to consider the configuration and dispatch of munitions, Yi Xingchen waved his pen and deducted some of the munitions that were originally going to be sent to Nanyun City for the deployment and use of the people's army. Anyway, with the Blue Mercury mercenaries, the Xinghua Empire does not need to continue to send additional soldiers to Nanyun City for the time being, so the supply of arms to Nanyun City can also be slightly reduced.

Five days later, the cabinet sent diplomatic envoys from the Xinghua Empire to the Snow Lotus Pass.

"Welcome to Snow Lotus, we have prepared food and drinks, and we have washed the dust. Wu Shouzhi, the head of the Snow Lotus Pass, was at the entrance, personally greeting the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Thank you, Commissioner Wu! I can't wait to go to Xia Kingdom and complete my mission. Diplomat Chu Feng said.

"My lord, the Yunzhou checkpoint of Xia Guo is not open all year round. I need to send someone to detain the customs and send your opinions into the Xia Guoguan. It is then up to their checkpoints to decide whether or not to receive our messengers. Wu Shouzhi said.

When Chu Feng heard this, he smiled meaningfully, and said confidently: "I had expected this problem, so I prepared two sets of plans. If they don't see us, we just need to send us our decision, and if they are willing to meet me, then I will personally express my country's attitude to the Xia officials. ”

Chu Feng was indeed fully prepared, so accompanied by Wu Shouzhi, after the group entered the Snow Lotus Pass, Chu Feng only stayed in the pass for half an hour, resting for a while, and then immediately prepared to leave the customs and went to the Yunzhou checkpoint of Xia Kingdom. Carry out the diplomatic mission for which he is responsible.

The checkpoint of Yunzhou in Xia is not an ordinary national highway pass, but an extremely important military place in Xia State.

When Chu Feng led a team of 100 accompanying soldiers to arrive at this Yunzhou checkpoint, he saw that it was majestic and the atmosphere was solemn. At first glance, it is also known that the Xia Kingdom has set up a high level of guards here - not only the high city walls are built, but also three thousand Xia soldiers are stationed, and weapons such as heavy crossbows and divine weapons are arranged.

This was as far as Chu Feng could see, and what he didn't know was that these soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who were guarding the city were not even ordinary soldiers, but they were actually all elite soldiers. And their supreme commander is still a captain.

On this day, on the city wall of the Yunzhou checkpoint, the captain fought fiercely, and as usual, he took two personal soldiers to patrol around to ensure the safety inside and outside the checkpoint.

"Your Excellency, you say. Will Xinghuaguo and us fight again?" One of the soldiers who followed Yan Zhan on patrol approached Yan Zhan's side and asked Yan Zhan about it, trying to determine whether the rumors that were spreading in the city these days were true or false.

When Yan Zhan heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "It shouldn't be." Xinghua annexed the country and left the country in the east. In two or three years, there should be no more troops. ”

"That's good, I'm still waiting for two years to return to my hometown and marry a daughter-in-law. When this pro-soldier heard Yan Zhan's words, he was also relieved at the moment. I have a lot of peace in my heart.

Yan Zhan laughed, and the rest of the soldiers at the checkpoint got the news, and everyone rose up one after another, making fun of the soldiers for wanting a new daughter-in-law, which is not a topic for men. For a moment, there was no stopping laughter on the level.

Yan Zhan looked at the soldiers and laughed, nodding, he liked the atmosphere on the level very much. As a captain of a hundred battles, Yan Zhan is a man who knows soldiers. At the same time, he also participated in the campaign to conquer the Eastern Leaving Kingdom, and also knew that the army of the Xia State had suffered losses from the army of the Xinghua Kingdom. Yan Zhan doesn't pay attention to Xinghua in his mouth, but he is full of vigilance against Xinghua in his heart.

Of course, if conditions permit, Yan Zhan hopes that the two countries will not continue to oppose each other. However, since the last time the Xia army retreated to Guannai, the emperor and ministers in the court, for some reason, forgot about Xinghuaguo. Moreover, King Xinghua was called the emperor and once sent an envoy to the Xia Kingdom, wanting the two countries to establish diplomatic relations. However, the emperor and ministers of the Xia Kingdom not only did not hear a trace, but took the initiative to close the pass.

After the inspection, he went down to the city and prepared to return to the school captain's mansion.

At this time, the gongs and drums hanging on the level sounded.

When, when......

Yan Zhan exclaimed, "What's going on?" He immediately sent a personal soldier to find out the situation.

After a while, the pro-soldiers took the captain of the guard team on duty.

"My lord, I am the messenger of the country of Xinghua. The captain said.

"What's the matter with them?" said Yan Zhan. Could it be that Xinghua wants to establish diplomatic relations with Xia again? Yan Zhan then thought.

"They want to enter the customs and see the highest commander. The captain said.

When Yan Zhan heard this, he hesitated in his heart. It stands to reason that he is the supreme commander. However, the imperial court had never recognized Xinghuaguo, and he did not dare to meet the officials of Xinghuaguo privately. Otherwise, if his political enemies knew that he had met an envoy of a country privately, it might become evidence of his collusion with Xinghuaguo.

At this time, outside the Yunzhou checkpoint, Chu Feng stood in front of the checkpoint under the protection of the accompanying soldiers.

"My lord, they won't open the door. A junior officer at Snow Lotus Pass advised Chu Feng.

Chu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I had expected this situation. Well, let's send our "Letter to the Emperor of Xia, the Book of the Prefect of Shucheng Slandering the People of Xinghua" now. ”

"What if they don't get into the hands of the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom?" asked one of the attendants who followed Chu Feng.

"We are officials of Xinghua Kingdom, and we only need to be responsible to the people of Xinghua Kingdom. Reporter Wu, you filmed the whole process of us, and we want to send back the envoys of Xinghua State who were given a cold reception by Xia State officials, so that the people can know that our reasonable request was rejected by Xia State officials. Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, this process of submitting the credentials will also spread in Yunzhou, Xia Kingdom." ”

After a while, in the Captain's Mansion, Yan Zhan was holding the documents sent by Chu Feng, the envoy of Xinghua State, and he felt hot. This document, stamped with the seal of Emperor Xinghua, is already considered to be a national document, and he is just a small general guarding the pass, but he is not qualified to dispose of it.

"What should I do now?" Yan Zhan said with a headache.

"My lord, what does this have to do with me, we are just a guard, just report it directly. A pro-soldier said.

Yan Zhan patted his head and said, "You're right. Regardless of whether the prefect of Shucheng has done anything to bully the people of Xinghua, it has nothing to do with us. Someone came, 800 miles expedited, sent to the Yunzhou General's Mansion, and handed over to the general by hand. ”

Yan Zhan handed over the letter to the soldier who delivered the letter, and only then breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, there are officials from Xinghua Kingdom waiting outside the gate. The soldier then reminded.

Yan Zhan thought for a while and said, "You go and sue them, their country's documents need to be decided by their superiors, and we sent them over." ”

As soon as Yan Zhan's words fell, another soldier hurried over.

"Lord Lieutenant, the envoy of Xinghua Kingdom has sent an ultimatum document again. ”

The soldier handed over the "ultimatum document" to Yan Zhan, and when Yan Zhan saw it, he was immediately shocked and angry.

It turned out that the so-called ultimatum document was the letter of the emperor of Xinghua to declare war within a time limit. Xinghua Guo demanded that Shucheng, Yunzhou, Xia State, stop persecuting the merchants of Xinghua State and return the encroached property within 15 days, otherwise Xinghua State would not rule out the use of force.

For Yan Zhan, this is an undisguised threat of war.

Yan Zhan was angry in his heart and the tone in the Xinghua Kingdom ultimatum document, and he really wanted to lead the troops out of the customs and kill the messenger of the Xinghua Kingdom to vent the hatred in his heart.

However, Yan Zhan did not dare to go out. He was worried that the army of Xinghua was ready to attack at any time. He couldn't guarantee that the checkpoint he was guarding would never fall.

"Strictly order the archers of the checkpoint to strengthen their vigilance! Don't let a single soldier approach the wall of the checkpoint!"

"Send someone to the Yunzhou General's Mansion to inform you of the situation. ”

"Send someone to Yunzhou Taishou Mansion to inform the situation. ”

Yan Zhan constantly issued orders to deal with the threat of the Xinghua Kingdom.

After a while, after arranging the troops, he said hatefully: "What did the prefect of Shucheng do? It would cause such a big reaction from Xinghua Kingdom!"

"Prepare for a heavy crossbow!" Yan Zhan thought for a moment and shouted again.

"Your Excellency......" The soldiers were a little puzzled.

"Since they dare to threaten us, we are the defenders of the Xia Kingdom, and we must fight back to show that we are not afraid of them. Yan Zhan said.

Chu Feng still stood quietly, waiting for Xia Guo's response.

"My lord, let's go!" said a Xinghua officer with a telescope in hand.

"What's the matter?" Chu Feng asked suspiciously.

"They've used heavy crossbows! We're within range of their effective fire!" replied the Xinghua officer.

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Okay, I know their response." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
