Chapter 459: War Potential

Faced with the threat of extinction, Yang Hao completely tore off his gentle disguise.

After decades of accumulation, he also wants to see what kind of potential the country he has created can burst out.

In a few decades, the ancient land of China has directly entered a unified empire from a city-state, completing the road of thousands of years ago.

And now, Yang Hao knows that this speed will continue to accelerate, and the other party doesn't know how many generations it has developed, and he doesn't have so much time to continue to fight with the forces around him.

At this time, in Yang Hao's heart, there were only two fates for these people, one was to die, and the other was to surrender obediently and become part of the Qi State.

Attacking all the surrounding forces at the same time is risky.

But Yang Hao thinks the risk is worth doing on his own.

The other party has expanded to Central Asia, as long as the other party is willing, it can cross the Tianshan Mountains as if no one was moving, and the Qi State will have no strategic depth at all.

He wants to keep the war out of the country, and the only way to do this is to take the Western Regions as quickly as possible, and then accumulate heavy troops over there to fight to the death with the other side.

The next day, even the people of Chang'an noticed that the atmosphere in the imperial court was not right.

Almost all the officials looked hurried.

The oppressive atmosphere hung over Chang'an until the imperial court issued a conscription order, and the people finally realized that war might be coming.

It's just that for the war, the people of Qi didn't even show the slightest fear, and the school-age youth was even more excited.

Qi has not had a large-scale conscription for many years, and for the newly grown young generation, those who go into battle to kill the enemy can only listen to the predecessors.

Nowadays, those legendary stories can also happen to themselves, how can this not make them excited.

What's more, there are no powerful countries around Qi State, entering the army with military salaries, and mixing up military merits by the way, you can be looked down upon everywhere in this life.

"Conscription order!

All my people have the responsibility of defending the land and defending the country, and those who are over 16 years old, in good health, and not the only child in the family can sign up.

One person in the army, the whole family is glorious!

July 26, 22nd year of Hongwu of Great Qi.

Soldier's Propaganda!

The literate people will read the notice aloud, and the onlookers will suddenly burst into discussion.

Many people don't care about wandering around the city and run home as fast as they can, so it is natural that such a major event must be discussed with their families.

The conscription order was sent to all parts of Qi as quickly as possible, and soon after, long queues formed at the registration sites of the local army.

At the same time, the envoys sent from Chang'an had already scattered out, carrying the imperial court's surrender order to the large and small forces around the Qi State.

Outside the Shanhai Pass, Zhong Kai, the envoy to the Qiongguo, separated from the envoy who went to Su Shen, and then went to the capital of the Qiongguo with his entourage.

Since the Qiongguo in front of him was beaten by the Qi State when he went south, he has not eased up for a long time.

In that battle, the tens of thousands of troops that the Qiongguo had managed to accumulate were almost exhausted, but they didn't even break through the border of the Qi State.

Not only did they plunder happily, but their strength declined, and even the old enemy in the east, Su Shen, could not suppress it.

Yi, who is nearly thirty years old, has been extremely depressed this year, the tribe is so poor, there is no additional income, it is difficult to survive this winter.

He even moved the idea of asking Qi for help, but he thought very highly of himself, how could he be willing to worship the Qi people as the master.

"King! The envoy of the Qi Kingdom has arrived! ”

Hearing this, Yi frowned.

"Qi people? What are they here to do? ”

"My subordinates don't know that the envoy of the Qi people will arrive in the dome one day."

Yi nodded and said, "Bring them over when they arrive, I'll see what Yang Hao wants to do." ”

"No!"

A day later, the dome was in the Great Tent.

"Zhong Kai, the envoy of the Qi State, has seen King Yi."

Zhong Kai said.

"I don't know what happened when the Qi envoy came to my country thousands of miles away."

Yi looked at the envoy Qi and said in a deep voice.

Zhong Kai said, took out the surrender order from his sleeve, and said loudly: "

By the King's Order!

Now I unify the Central Plains, and I can't bear the people outside the border to suffer from the cold and hunger, if the country of the dome is submissive, this king will treat it as the people of the Qi country.

If not, this king will hang the people and relieve them of their upside down, so that all the people may be safe.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

"Be bold! Look for death! ”

Saying that a big man was about to step forward and kill Zhong Kai on the spot.

"Stop!"

Yi Tie said with a blushing face.

"Your Majesty!"

"Stand down!"

The big man glanced at Zhong Kai hatefully, and retreated to the side unwillingly.

"King Qi is so arrogant! When no one cares about me? ”

Zhong Kai said coldly: "My king is the co-lord of the world, rich in the land of the four seas, now my king is merciful, I am willing to treat your people with the courtesy of the people of Qi country, has King Yi forgotten the fiasco a few years ago, if King Yi is obedient, the court will not treat King Yi badly." ”

"Hehe, do you really think I don't dare to kill?"

"A certain life is not worth mentioning, but King Yi, you have to think clearly, if a certain person dies here, there will be no peace between my Great Qi and your country, what will happen, King Yi must also know that a certain life is here, if King Yi wants to take it, such and such is waiting at any time."

After speaking, he raised his neck, looking ready to die.

Yi looked at Zhong Kai coldly, holding back the anger in his heart, he wanted to wave his hand, but it seemed that he had a thousand catties of strength pressing on it.

"Send all the envoys to rest!"

Yi said coldly.

After Zhong Kai went down, Yi's big tent suddenly became a mess.

"Your Majesty! Don't say yes! If we are obedient to the Qi people, how will we face the previous kings? ”

An old minister knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Yi was upset at this time, he knew the strength of the Qi people extremely well, the Qiongguo was not an opponent at all, if the Qi people went out of the Shanhaiguan to attack, the Qiongguo would not be able to resist at all.

In the face of the sharp guns of the Qi people, even the Qiongguo, which even has a complete set of armor, how to resist.

"Fire! Then tell this king, what are we going to fight with the people! You tell me. ”

Yi roared.

"Your Majesty, there is no one in our clan who is afraid of death, and when the Qi people come to attack, our clan will fight with them."

The strong man said.

But when the rest of the leaders heard this, their eyes were indeed different.

When the strong man saw this, he was immediately furious.

"Shu Chi! There are more than 1,000 people in your department, what are you afraid of! ”

Shu Chi just bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yi only felt powerless, the Qi people had already explained that the conditions for submission and the life of the Qi people must have been, and the leader of a thousand people in the Qiong Country may not be as attractive as a village chief in the Qi State.

At this moment, he already understood that whether he resisted or not, the Dome Country was finished.

Until now, he suddenly felt how ridiculous his efforts over the years were, and the Qi people sent a person and a surrender order instantly disintegrated his achievements for many years.

He knew what those who did not want to answer were thinking, they were already frightened by the battle a few years ago, and how desperate it was to see his soldiers being swept down in patches like wheat harvesting, and not even touching the corners of the enemy's clothes.

The reason why they were able to exist here before was just that the Qi people didn't want to fight, and the Qi people were really serious, and they could only be like ants, without any power to fight back.
