The six leaders of the military headquarters of the Zhoushui Alliance unanimously passed a resolution to start a national war. Of course, it is not up to a player or player organization to decide whether to start a national war, but must be decided by the NPC king himself. Qin Xiaobai, as the chief secretary of the Yan State and one of the three important ministers, has the power to exercise part of the state affairs of the Yan State, and has the power to make suggestions to the NPC Yan King. All the Zhoushui Alliances also have the power to decide to start a national war to some extent.

Qin Xiaobai went directly to Jicheng, found Da Sima Leyi and Da Situ Guo Kui, and discussed with these two NPC important ministers to let King Yan start a national war against the neighboring Russian Far East. As long as these two ministers agree, the chances of convincing King Yan to start a national war will be greatly increased.

Da Sima Leyi agreed, he had been the Grand Sima of Yan Guo for more than a month, but in addition to training the army, he had hardly fought any battles, let alone made any merits. This made some NPC ministers of the Yan Kingdom despise him and have no respect for him. He needs a war to prove his existence.

Besides, after some military and political reforms, the national strength of Yan has increased significantly, and it is no longer the Yan State of the past, and it is already capable of withstanding a war and expanding its territory. Xiaobai suggested starting a national war, and he fully agreed.

Guo Kui hesitated, "Start a national war?" I am afraid that it is not appropriate, although the money and grain of the national treasury have increased by a large margin, but it is not enough to support a large-scale national war, and once it is protracted, I am afraid that the national strength will not be able to support it. Moreover, the local chieftains may not be willing to cooperate, and if the national war is lost, it will be very detrimental to the position of the king. ”

Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "Lord Guo, this battle is mainly fought by the newly formed Ten Newly Relocated Noble Legions of the Yan State, and the government army is not used, and the money and grain of the treasury are avoided as much as possible, and the treasury and the basement are not consumed. The state and localities were only responsible for the various military tasks, while the rest was left entirely to the individual legions themselves, and to bear all the costs of the war. ”

Guo Kui was puzzled: "Lord Xiaobai means that it is completely up to the newly relocated nobles to fight themselves?" But if the money and grain from the treasury and the basement are not used as rewards, will the newly relocated nobles be willing to go to war? ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "Since it is a national war. Then it is enough to use the land, minerals, and wealth of neighboring countries as war rewards, and I believe that the vast majority of the newly relocated nobles will be willing to go to war and gain land, minerals, and wealth for themselves. There were also many newly relocated nobles in the Yan Kingdom who lacked land. As long as they are mobilized in a big way, we will have plenty of troops to fight the war. After the war, the land of the Yan Kingdom increased substantially, which was an absolutely beneficial thing for the Yan Kingdom. ”

Guo Kui pondered for a long time. Nodding slowly, "This is a good idea, as long as the treasury and the central army are not used, I think the king should not refuse this kind of land expansion thing, Lord Xiaobai, I see how sure we can win in the national war?" ”

Qin Xiaobai said with great certainty: "Eighty percent sure you can win." However, there should be no delay, as the longer it is delayed, the less certain it will be to succeed, and it will attract the interference of other countries. If the national war starts after half a month, it will drop to less than sixty percent. So the sooner this battle is, the better. ”

Guo Kui nodded silently, he didn't know much about military affairs. However, since the general Le Yi agreed very much, it was not convenient for him to oppose Xiaobai's suggestion.

Qin Xiaobai actually didn't say a word, this was just the odds of the Yan Kingdom opening a national war against the territory of Russia alone. However, if the player armies of the Kingdom of Qi, the Kingdom of Lu, and the Kingdom of Wu cooperate with each other. The chances of winning the national war are as high as more than 90%, and they are fighting with players in the Russian Far East and Japanese players at the same time.

The three ministers of the Yan Kingdom entered the palace at the same time. He made a statement to the king of Yan and asked Yan to officially start a national war against neighboring Russia. Under the persuasion of the three ministers.

King Yan thought about it for a day and replied, "Agree to the national war, but it's better to have the permission of my Great Zhou Tianzi." In the name of Zhou Tianzi, I demand that the Russian principality submit to our Great Zhou, and if it does not obey, it can immediately go to war. ”

The three ministers were overjoyed. Exit the royal palace.

Soon. Several rode fast horses to leave Jicheng and galloped thousands of miles away to Haojing, the capital of the Zhou royal family. Ask Zhou Tianzi for instructions to start the national war. In addition, several cavalry galloped to Liaodong to the Russian Far East Duchy, and issued a letter of state from the king of Yan to the Grand Duke of Russia, demanding that he submit to the Zhou royal family.

The Far Eastern Principality is one of the seven principalities of the Far East, which is the Khabarovsk Castle, where an NPC Grand Duke presides over the administration of the Russian Far Eastern Principalities.

And the object of the war in Yan is this Russian Far Eastern principality.

The land war is about to begin, and it is a prince-level state war between Diyan, one of China's nine major vassal states, and the Far Eastern Duchy, one of the seven Russian principalities. It's not a national war between China and Russia, unless Chinese players go to Moscow in Western Europe, or Russian players go to Hojing, China and Russia won't break out in a national war. The national war of the Rus' Far Eastern principalities has entered a state of imminent touch, and the last procedure is missing, the official declaration of a national war against the Russian Far Eastern principalities by King Yan.

Players throughout China, as well as players in Russia, are already nervous. The news that the vassal states and principalities were about to start a national war leaked out of nowhere, causing a sensation among players in the surrounding countries of East Asia, and even spread all the way to the European player zone.

Although the big battles between hundreds of thousands of players on the borders of various countries in the world occasionally broke out, and the small battles of hundreds of people never stopped, they were only limited to conflicts between player organizations and did not rise to the level of national wars.

In "Imperial Expedition", there are only a handful of national wars that have really started in the world, the national war between Korea and Japan in Kyushu is counted as one, Israel's annihilation by Arab armies is counted as one, Russia and Germany joining forces to attack Poland are counted as one, and the Holy See Crusade against Palestine is counted as a national war that has started and ended in the world, which can be counted with ten fingers.

Yan and the Russian Principality of the Far East, as regional core vassal states and principalities, will inevitably be involved in the war of the whole of East Asia, and even escalate to a wider scale -- the possibility of escalation of the national war is absolutely existent.

China also has eight vassal states, and Russia has six principalities, which are likely to be touched by the war between Yan and the Russian Far Eastern principalities. China is the country with the largest player population in the world of "Expedition to Empires", while Russia is the country with the most vast land in the world, and it is also the two countries with the strongest war potential in the Eurasian 6. Once China and Russia escalate to a full-scale war, it can almost be called a war of hegemony in the Eurasian 6, and the national war of any other two countries may not be able to compare with it.

This cannot but arouse the urgent attention of players from all countries around the world within Empires.

It's a pity that the upcoming national war between Yan and the Russian Far East Principalities is just news, which has been widely circulated in the mouths of players and various famous game forums, but has not yet been truly confirmed.

Players from all walks of life are eager to confirm whether this news is true. Among them, there are those who want to resell arms for profit, those who want to participate in the war themselves, those who leave the war zone in panic and want to avoid the war, and those who plan to open bets.

The Zhoushui Alliance didn't have so much effort to care about these rumors.

After receiving the order of King Yan, Da Sima Leyi immediately prepared various military tasks and handed them over to the newly formed Ten Players Group Army to carry out. He transferred almost all of the nearly one million player corps to the first- and second-tier walled cities in Heilongjiang and Jilin to prepare for the national war.

After all, Le Yi and his generals are NPC's own routines, and there are many places where they may not be able to understand the combat ideas of the player legion, and the Zhoushui Alliance sent the player staff group to give advice to them.

The great Sikong Qin Xiaobai is responsible for the task of "building military facilities and manufacturing ordnance", building a large number of military projects needed for operations on the front line, and also supplying ordnance to the player legions on the front line.

All the cost of the war is paid by the player himself, including troops, ordnance, food, etc., don't think about the treasury and the basement to pay a penny. The only benefit is the distribution of the loot after the war, land, NPC slaves, wealth, and even castles built by Russia, and these rewards will be distributed to all individual Yan players and player organizations who have made meritorious contributions in the national war.

Countless players are eagerly waiting for the outbreak of the war between the Yan Kingdom and the Far Eastern Principality. It's a pity that it didn't get as expected, the national war didn't break out for a long time, the Yan Kingdom, the Zhoushui Alliance, and the Russian Far East Principalities were still making final preparations, and the last moment did not come. The king of Yan sent out to deliver the letter; The envoys sent to North and South Korea by the Zhoushui Alliance are also drifting on the sea.

The envoys sent by the Russian Far Eastern principalities to other principalities for help were also on the road.

The player fleets of Japan's Honshu, Hokkaido, and Shikoku are ready to cross the river to fight in Korea. They planned to take the opportunity to take the Korean Peninsula at the time of the Yan Kingdom's war against the Russian Far Eastern Principalities, on the one hand, to relieve the pressure on Russia, and on the other hand, to seek benefits for themselves.

South Korea also urgently sent envoys to China's vassal states to seek more support.
