Tianlai is the third smallest of the twelve countries on the human continent, after the Land of Silence and Quelstan. However, it is the most important food exporter in the eastern part of the human continent. Four or five surrounding countries, including the Kingdom of Adventurers, import large quantities of food crops from Tianlai every year.

The previous king died prematurely before he could appoint the crown prince. Now, Tianlai is ruled by his two sons, Jin Tian and Jin Di. Each of them has their own advisors, generals, and spheres of influence. Although you secretly fight and intrigue with each other, when dealing with other external forces, you can always put aside disputes and unite with the outside world. Therefore, for a long time, the prosperity and stability of the Tianlai Kingdom were still maintained.

It's the dry season. A massive wildfire broke out in the southern mountains on a night of thunder and lightning. The wildfires swept through almost the entire southern frontier of Tianlai. For three days and three nights, the fire did not subside, but intensified and became out of control.

Just as the two kings were studying countermeasures in the court, an official ran in from outside the main hall in a panic.

"Your Majesty. The army of the massive Iwanokuni has been spotted on the southern border and is marching towards Nanrai! In just one sentence, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and the two kings were stunned, and they were speechless for a long time.

"Is there such a thing?" Jindi stood up in disbelief and said to himself, "Impossible. I, Tianlai, have been reconciled with the country of rock for a hundred years, and there is no dispute, how can he take advantage of the danger of others and invade my territory. Revisit! ”

"Yes!" The official immediately bowed and exited the main hall.

"But we can't be on guard." Jin Tian, who was sitting next to him, said calmly, "The so-called defense of people is indispensable. As the most powerful regional power in the eastern part of the human continent, even the Adventurer Kingdom gave him three points. Nanlai is just a small city, and it is not enough to resist his army. It is necessary to deploy heavy troops. ”

"That's nature. I will transfer General Tong Chu to Nanlai to defend against the enemy. ”

It was dusty outside the city of Nanlai. The army of Iwanokuni has surrounded the castle on all sides. Ladders, catapults, and besieging troops climbed one after another, like martyrs, stepping on the corpses of their comrades in front of them and crawling towards the city walls. Rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows, the soldiers on the city walls fought valiantly and resisted desperately under the command of the general.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" The official who walked up to the main hall two days ago played again, "Prince Li Qi of the country of rocks personally led an army of 50,000 to besiege Nanlai, Nanlai was lost, and General Tong Chu was killed in battle. ”

"What?!" After hearing this, Jindi took the case.

"Enlighten the Holy One." On the top of the main hall, an old minister who was over half a hundred years old bowed down and played, "Nanlai is the gateway to our country. If Nanlai is lost, the enemy army can drive in from Nantong Avenue, and in less than five days, it will be able to attack Tianlai City. There is no danger to defend on the plains, please make a decision to your majesty. ”

"This ......" Jin Di was flustered for a moment after hearing this, and had no idea, and asked His Royal Highness, "At this time of national disaster, which Aiqing has a good plan to break the enemy?" ”

The Manchu civil and military looked at each other, whispered, and did not dare to answer. At this time, one of Jin Tian's advisors stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." With a little trick, we can break the 50,000 army of the enemy country and ensure that our banner is victorious and long-term peace and stability. ”

"Tell me." Jin Di anxiously urged.

"This ......" the advisor hesitated for a moment, and replied timidly, "The minister is afraid that if he says it, he will offend Tianyan and the minister will die." ”

"Huh?" Jin Di was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What is the crime of offering advice and saving the country and the people." Aiqing only has to speak, I forgive you for your innocence. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." After kneeling down and thanking him, the advisor continued, "To the west of Nanlai, there is a small road, the terrain is steep, and the road is long and narrow. The army of the country of the rock can pass through this canyon, and then set up ambushes on both sides, and then send a team to outflank from the rear, and attack the front and rear troops in front of the head, Li Qi will be defeated! ”

"......" Jin Di was silent after hearing this, thought for a long time, and asked, "What Aiqing said is a clever plan. It's just that the 50,000 army of the country of rocks is unstoppable on the flat avenue, how can Li Qi give up the advantage of the avenue and take the small road? ”

"This ......" the advisor paused and said in a low voice, "Weichen thinks that only His Majesty can chase the enemy country to the ...... of the path with his own body and use himself as bait."

"Bold!" Before the advisor finished speaking, a military general flashed beside him, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and said in a rough voice, "This plan is to put Your Majesty in danger, what is your intention!" ”

"Sinners don't dare! Damn the sinners! The counsellor immediately kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and knelt on the ground.

Jin Di waved his hand, signaled the military general to retreat, and ordered the advisor to get up. Then he sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, frowning and hesitating.

"In my opinion, this is the only way to break the enemy's army." At this time, Jin Tian, who was sitting on the side, said calmly, "It's better than this." Brother Xian, you personally led the army, and the two armies were defeated in front of the battle, leading Li Qi into the valley. I set up an ambush on both sides in advance, and when he rushed into the valley, I personally led my troops to outflank him from the rear, and then we surrounded the enemy on all sides and broke the enemy's army. I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks? ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Jin Di still seemed to be a little hesitant, Jin Tianyi said rhetorically, "My Jin family has ruled this place for generations, and the whole clan has the obligation to protect the family and defend the country, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything, how can there be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Jin Tian's words made Jin Di speechless, so he had to adopt the strategy of the minister, and he could set off and drive the expedition in person.
