In Xiong Nai's eyes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and if you want to unite all countries to retaliate because of a defeat, you are too villainous and have no big country mind at all.

When Luo Hua heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking, why are you mentioning this, don't you feel ashamed, I feel ashamed!

"His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu has misunderstood, the Battle of Jinling is the hatred between my Zhao and Qin, and we will not let outsiders interfere, and we will solve the grievances between our two countries by ourselves, so our emperor wants to unite the northwest countries, not because of the Battle of Jinling, but because of the Qin Empire's attack on Yan!" Luo Hua calmly raised his hand and explained.

"The Qin Empire is attacking the Yan Empire, what is the Zhao Empire doing?" Xiong Nai asked in a puzzled tone.

Luo Hua was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: It is rumored that Emperor Chu is wise and decisive, how can he see it today, he is like a fool, he doesn't even understand the most basic truth that a strong country wants to be strong, and it will make a weak country weaker.

"The Qin Empire's attack on Yan does not have anything to do with my Great Zhao, but if the Yan Empire falls, it will not be a good thing for my Great Zhao and Great Chu, first of all, the territory, as soon as the Yan Empire is destroyed, the hand of the Qin Empire will reach out to the East China Sea, and it also borders the Xia Empire!"

"The Qin Empire is a highly aggressive empire, after it destroys the Yan Empire, the next one is the Xia Empire or the Zhao Empire, according to the bottom of the look, the next target of the Qin Empire is likely to be the Xia Empire, because the Xia Empire's princely competition for the crown has become more and more intense in recent years, consuming a lot of national strength, and destroying Xia is the easiest choice."

"As soon as the Xia Empire is destroyed, the territory of the Qin Empire borders on Great Chu, and at that time, will His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor still be able to sleep peacefully? Going forward, even if the Qin Empire does not destroy Xia and only destroys Yan, it will damage the interests of the Chu Empire in the East China Sea! ”

"In fact, His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor understands in his heart that because of the internal friction of the Yan Empire and the weakness of the Xia Empire's sailors, Great Chu has become the strongest overlord in the East China Sea, if the Qin Empire intervenes in the East China Sea, the position of the Great Chu Empire in the East China Sea will definitely be shaken!" Luo Hua still calmly explained the reason for the expedition against Qin.

"Your Excellency's words are a bit full, aren't you?" Xiong Nai said expressionlessly.

Luo Hua frowned slightly, "Why did His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor say this?" ”

"Although the Yan Empire has serious internal friction, its strength is not weak, it is just a force divided into several forces, I believe that the princes of the Yan Empire will unite to resist Qin, if Qin destroys Yan, it is not so simple, it will take at least a few years, you know, when the Wei Empire was strong, it took five years to destroy a Wu Empire!"

"The Yan Empire is not weaker than the Wu Empire, on the contrary, it is stronger than the Wu Empire, so there is no need to join forces with Qin at the moment!" Xiong Nai said calmly, without any intention of conniving against Qin.

When Luo Hua heard this, he suddenly became anxious, "Your Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, things don't think so, the Yan Empire is the Yan Empire, the Wu Empire is the Wu Empire, the Wu Empire is in cahoots to resist the Wei army, but the Yan Empire can't do it, those princes are some rabble, and they can't stop the Qin of the tiger and wolf at all!" ”

"If His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor insists on comparing the Yan Empire with the Wu Empire, then don't forget, it only took half a year for the Qin Empire to destroy the Jin Dynasty!"

"Humph!" Xiong Nai snorted coldly, looked at Luo Hua with a rather unkind look in his eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, are you teaching me to do things?" ”

When Luo Hua heard this, he realized his gaffe, and then hurriedly bent down to apologize: "I was rude and collided with His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, I hope His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor will forgive me!" ”

"Someone, send off!" Xiong Nai waved his hand!

The words fell, and the two Imperial Forest soldiers guarding outside the hall walked into the hall and walked towards Luo Hua, Luo Hua was so angry that he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, you will definitely regret it!" ”

Xiong Nai's face suddenly became gloomy, and the two Imperial Forest Soldiers saw that Xiong Nai's face was wrong, and the pace under their feet couldn't help but speed up, and directly buckled Luo Hua's arm, Luo Hua broke free from the control of the Royal Forest Army with a warm and angry face, and said angrily: "This official has his own feet, no need to send it, hum!" ”

After speaking, Luo Hua swaggered out of the imperial study, looking at Luo Hua's departing back, Xiong Nai was itching, and he wanted to give Luo Hua a knife, it was too rampant, and he didn't take him, the emperor of Great Chu, in his eyes at all.

Damn it!

In fact, Xiong Nai is still a little moved by the joint attack on Qin, as Luo Hua said, the Qin Empire is too strong, and it has threatened the security of the northwest countries, but if you think about it carefully, even if the countries succeed in joining forces to attack Qin, Great Chu will not get the slightest benefit.

Why? In a word, Qin and Chu did not border, so after the defeat of the Qin Empire, only the neighbors of the Qin Empire could seize the territory and population, and the Great Chu would get a little money at most, exchanging the lives of thousands of soldiers for money, which was really a loss, and it was not in the interests of the empire to complete.

This is still the premise of the success of the alliance, if the alliance fails, first of all, the front-line army will be annihilated, and secondly, the Great Chu will be regarded as an enemy country by the Qin Empire, and it will inevitably be retaliated by the Qin Empire in the future.

Moreover, whether the Qin Empire is strong or weak, it has nothing to do with Great Chu, and it cannot pose a substantial threat to Great Chu, but it will just put Great Chu under a little pressure, and it is really unwise to send troops to attack the empire of the hegemony of Kyushu for the sake of a little pressure.

As for the interests of the East China Sea, hehe, now that the pirates in the East China Sea are rampant, there is a Mao interest, and he wishes that he would have a powerful sailor to help kill the pirates.

In this way, Zhao's plan to join forces with Chu was shattered!

In order to join forces with Qin, Da Zhao sent envoys to the four empires of Qi, Chu, Xia, and Han, but without exception, they all returned in vain, especially the envoys to Han, and they were humiliated by Han Junchen in public.

Time passed slowly, and the days passed day by day, March 10, the twenty-fourth year of the Holy Qin, the hour of the hour!

Located a hundred miles north of the Great Wall of Ningta in the Great Yan Empire, Ningta Daying!

The Ningta camp is composed of 150,000 cavalry of the Prairie Legion, but after Yingchang led the army to arrive yesterday, the Ningta camp has a total of 380,000 troops, and the area of the camp has also expanded by five miles.

"Kill!"

"Boom!"

"You, yes, it's you, tell Ben why you swing your sword one step slower than the other brothers?"

"Captain, mistake!"

"Mistakes? I don't think you're careful, do you know that on the battlefield, it's very likely that you will lose your life because of one of your mistakes, and you don't laugh, saying that he didn't mean you are? How many times have you said it, the speed of swinging the knife must be fast, as long as it is fast enough, the enemy will not be able to block it, and you can cut down the enemy with one knife! ”

In the vast school field of the Ningta camp, the soldiers of the Qin army and the warriors of the grassland army are conducting daily training, the scene can be described as hot, dusty, and the sound of killing and shouting and the roar of horses' hooves resounded endlessly all around, in addition to the sound of killing and shouting and the roar of horses' hooves, there are also the voices of generals scolding their subordinates.

The discipline of the Great Qin Army is strict, and the generals at all levels cannot tolerate sand in their eyes, and when they see the slightest flaw, they will reprimand, and they will reprimand them in front of the public, and often those who are reprimanded will feel ashamed, so they will train hard and strive not to drag their colleagues back.

It is under this kind of rigorous training that the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army can be guaranteed to be prosperous for a long time!

It has to be said that the Grassland Legion has been equipped with the standard weapons of the Qin army, such as fish scale armor, red tasseled helmets, horse lances, and short crossbows; Since the warriors of the Steppe Legion are more suitable for using scimitars, they are not equipped with the Ringhead, and in addition to the Steppe Legion equipped with standard weapons, the Ningta Legion of Alona Shun Moon is also equipped with sophisticated standard weapons.

All the armies that belonged to the Great Qin Empire were armed to the teeth!

In the meantime, inside the tent!

In the handsome tent, Yingchang is often dressed in Dragon Emperor armor and a golden tasseled helmet, and is in a handsome position; Gu Yuan's generals Aluke and Ge, from Jiupin Jianzhong's general Saiyin Shanda, from Jiupin Liyi's general Uert, from Jiupin Huaiji's general Kaluqi four Xiongnu generals stood on the left side; Du Changjing, Bai Qi, Qian Guangxiao, and Xiao Xiong, the four Qin generals, stood on the right side!

"How much rations does our army have now?" Ying Chang looked at the generals expressionlessly and asked.

When Du Changjing heard this, he immediately bent down respectfully and made a report: "Your Majesty, after our army and the grassland army joined forces, there are a total of two million stone army rations, which is enough for our army to consume for two years, and there is no need to worry about grain and grass at all, not to mention, there are six granaries in Shunbei County and Fangshan County in Dongzhou, which together have 1.8 million stone reserves of grain enough for our army, so there is no need to worry about food problems at all!" ”

"Our army is naturally more than enough to use, but after our army conquers Yancheng, it is inevitable to open a warehouse and release grain, I am just worried that the food is not enough to distribute to those poor people, and two million military rations will not last for two years, don't forget, we are still on the grassland, there are natural horse food for war horses to eat, but as soon as we enter the Yan realm, we have to take out military rations for war horses to eat, one horse is relative to the amount of three soldiers, according to this calculation, two million military rations are only enough for my army to consume for one year!"

"Coupled with the relief of the people, our army can only last for half a year, so my Daqin wants to end the war within half a year, so as not to fall into the point of running out of food, but for the sake of insurance, I decided to order Dongzhou Taishou to transfer all the grain from the granaries of Changping County, Chongnan County, and Yongcheng County in Dongzhou to the three granaries of Shunbei County, so as to strengthen the amount of grain reserves and ensure that our army is not subject to food problems, what do you think of the generals?"

Ying Chang said a lot in a row, and the speed of his speech was quite fast, if it weren't for the generals present who were not ordinary people, he really couldn't hear what Ying Chang said all of a sudden.

"Do your Majesty's will!" Du Changjing's compilation responded!

"Then do as I say!" Ying Chang spoke, and then immediately said, "How many defenders are there on the Ningta Great Wall?" And who is in command? ”

When the words fell, Aluk Ge took a small step forward, and bent down with a look full of awe to make a report: "Back to Your Majesty, there are 250,000 garrisons on the Ningta Great Wall, and the commander is Liu Zhendong, the commander of which is Yanhuai Beihou Liu Zhendong!" ”

"Liu Zhendong? He actually led the troops himself? Yingchang's face showed surprise.

According to common sense, Liu Zhendong is already above 10,000 people under one person, and he is the number one in Huaibei County, and people of this status generally do not personally lead the troops, after all, if he unfortunately dies in battle, even if the army under his command has combat effectiveness, it will collapse instantly.

If Bai Qi is not there, Liu Zhendong personally leads the troops, Ying Chang is not surprised, but Bai Qi is here, isn't he afraid of a blink of an eye and a head to the ground? When the time comes, there is no need to fight, and the Ningta Great Wall Army surrenders directly.

"That's right, Liu Zhendong did personally lead the troops, and even said that he wanted to kill the Martial King to avenge Fang Kong, and the last general felt that this Liu Zhendong was tired and crooked, and he dared to provoke the Martial King!" Aluk Go's expression was a little disdainful.

"By the way, why didn't you see the Xuanjia Army on this expedition?" Aluk Goh then asked, a look of doubt on his brow.

Hearing this, many generals in the tent were puzzled, including Du Changjing, and when Bai Qi heard the three words Xuanjia Army, his eyes couldn't help but dim, and Ying Chang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The Xuanjia Army has been transferred to another place, and that place needs the Xuanjia Army to guard it even more, as for where it is, you don't have to ask more, besides, to destroy a troubled Yan country, it will not be enough to use my Great Qin Force!" Ying Chang said with a slightly arrogant expression.

In fact, the Xuanjia Army has been destroyed and has become history, they were not annihilated by the enemy, but by time, the disadvantage of the Xuanjia Army is that it has a short lifespan, so as early as two years ago, the Xuanjia Army has died a single one.

Because the Xuanjia Army is the most powerful heavy cavalry in Great Qin, it has a strong deterrent power, coupled with the reason for Gu magic, Yingchang did not announce the destruction of the Xuanjia Army, but declared that the Xuanjia Army went to guard the secret place.

The destruction of the Xuanjia Army was only known to Bai Qi and Yingchang, and no one else knew!

Hearing Ying Chang's words, the generals suddenly showed a sudden realization, and did not doubt the truth of Ying Chang's words, because they did not believe that the extremely powerful Xuanjia Army would be destroyed.

"It's a pity, if the Xuanjia Army is here, we will blink an eye, and the Great Wall of Ningta will be broken!" Aluk Goe said with a regretful expression.

The rest of the generals also showed regret and pity!

"Okay, there is no regret, there is no Xuanjia Army, my Great Qin will still blink an eye and destroy the Great Wall of Ningta, but before attacking the Great Wall of Ningta, I have to send someone to the Great Wall of Ningta, and I will meet Liu Zhendong for a while, if you can, you can persuade him to surrender, and I am willing to treat him with real power and high position!" Yingchang's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he made the idea of surrendering.

Some people may ask, didn't Ying Chang say before that he would not give the princes of Dayan a high position of real power? This has to vary from person to person, it can be said that among the five kings and eight candidates of Dayan, Liu Zhendong is still a hero and loyal minister!

Liu Zhendong is a veteran of the armor, rich experience in war, and loyal to the imperial court, when Zheng Long rebelled, Liu Zhendong counterinsurgency was the greatest, and no regrets, even if the court did not allocate food or military salaries, but also led a large army to suppress Zheng Long's army.

His Huaibei wait, is not forced to the imperial court, is the imperial court voluntarily given compensation, as a military salary and military food that has not been paid for many years, when he was entitled, Liu Zhendong also refused to accept the order, thinking that the imperial court should not use this false name to pay the army's military food and military salary.

The imperial court learned that Liu Zhendong refused to accept the order because of this matter, and felt extremely helpless, they did not want to give Liu Zhendong money and grain, but they really couldn't give it, there was a grain of grain in the treasury, and there was no silver or two, in order to stabilize Liu Zhendong, the imperial court gave Huaibei County to Liu Zhendong, and let Liu Zhendong rule Huaibei County by himself, and all the taxes of Huaibei County went to Ningta Daying, so that he could support himself.

Although Liu Zhendong is not good at handling political affairs, he still governs Huaibei County well, can support himself, and no longer needs the money and food of the imperial court.

While he was governing Huaibei County, he also continued to put pressure on King Zheng, Jihou, Yuanhou, Wuhou, and Yanghou, and one of the four wild kings did not dare to act rashly, so to speak, if it were not for Liu Zhendong, the wild marquis around the imperial capital of Wuyang would have long since swallowed the pants of the Yan court.

(Wild King Yehou: The title of prince and marquis obtained through rebellion!) ）

Like this kind of capable and loyal talent, any ruler likes it, let alone the Great Qin Emperor Yingchang, who loves his talent like his life!

"Let the last general go!" Du Changjing did not hesitate to compile.

"You?" Ying Chang raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to say something, he heard Du Changjing say: "Generally, the more capable people are, the more arrogant they are, if Your Majesty only sends a young general to negotiate, I am afraid that Liu Zhendong will think that my Daqin is not sincere!" ”

"Liu Zhendong is the Hou Ye, and the last general is also the Hou Ye, if the last general is sent forward, in terms of sincerity, Liu Zhendong will definitely have nothing to say, and with the reputation of the last general, Liu Zhendong will more or less give a little face, and will not embarrass my Daqin!"

Du Changjing's last sentence is not a boast, with his current identity and status, no matter where he goes, he will be treated with courtesy!

"Okay, then I'll be tired of the general!" Ying Chang nodded and agreed that Du Changjing would go and talk to Liu Zhendong.

"The last will retire!" Du Changjing bowed down respectfully to make a farewell salute, and after saluting, he turned around and left the handsome tent, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ying Chang looked around at the generals, and finally looked at Aluke Ge, and asked in a non-serious tone: "In addition to exploring the Great Wall of Ningta, did General Gu Yuan send someone to explore the hinterland of the Yan Empire?" ”

Aluk Ge hurriedly bent down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general sent scouts to the hinterland of Yan to investigate, but Liu Zhendong is extremely strict, and there is no way to enter the north of Huaibei County, so the scouts are all in vain!" ”

"In this way, we don't know anything about the hinterland of the Yan Empire!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, now that Zheng Long has surrendered to my Great Qin, except for Liu Zhendong, the great enemy in Yan, no one in the Yan territory can pose a threat to our Qin army, I believe that when our Qin army breaks through the Great Wall of Ningta and captures Huaibei County, the major princes of the Yan Empire will definitely surrender to the wind, in this way, my Great Qin does not need to know the hinterland of the Yan Empire at all, and it is in vain to know if I know!"
