However, Chen Xiu's battle report clearly stated that the Xia State had invaded the western town bordering the Qin State. The border war with the Xiongnu was fierce, where was there enough strength to resist the Xia State, and in desperation, Chu Dakai led his troops to the Western Front. Xia Guo dispatched a huge number of soldiers and horses, and was caught off guard again, and Chu Dakai's battle was a tragic victory.

In addition to anger, there was confusion in Takubahiro's eyes. He stood up and stared at the two prime ministers on the left and right: "Attacking the country, this is a declaration of war!" Who can tell me why this is happening! Could it be that Xia Guo saw that the Xiongnu had gotten oil and water from the Qin State, and he also wanted to get involved! ”

This is the greatest possibility, Xia sent envoys to Qin is a trick, but secretly took advantage of Qin's war with the Xiongnu to rob while the fire was burning. They annexed three states of Qin, hundreds of kilometers of territory, and finally the Chu general took it back at the cost of tens of thousands of soldiers' lives.

Although the Qin State was strong, it could not stand up to the group fight. And the Xiongnu are such a formidable opponent......

"Your Majesty, this matter may not be so simple." Chen Xiu pushed open the door of the hall and came uninvited. Because he was a general who had just galloped back to the capital from the northwest battlefield, he could enter and leave the Jianzhang Palace at will, and present an urgent battle report to the emperor at any time.

Prime Minister Zuo looked at him approaching with an indifferent face. He is already fifty-four years old, and the next life in front of him is thirty years younger than him. The future world of Great Qin will sooner or later be lost from his hands to the hands of these descendants.

"Do you have a high idea?" When Tuoba Hong said this, his face was as gloomy as water, and he was more like a sneer. Chen Xiu was a capable minister who was appreciated and reused by him, and the Xiongnu had received many successes since the invasion, but this time the news came more depressing than the defeat.

If this is true, the Qin State will face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. The Mongolian king, who has always been eyeing him, what kind of things will An Zhi use this opportunity to do!

Tuoba Hong looked at the young general who had been cultivated by himself, and anger rose on his face.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are dead!" Chen Xiu knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The scouts of the ministers failed to detect the movements of the Xia Kingdom in time......"

"Needless to say!" Tuoba Hong interrupted him: "You just said that you, as the vanguard marshal of the Qin army, what did you discover in this battle!" ”

Although Chen Xiu was kneeling, his face was not flustered. He habitually straightened his cuffs, and said: "Your Majesty, the offensive of the Xia people is fierce, and when General Chu led his troops to go, Qilian, a small city on the border of the Western Regions, has been slaughtered and bloodied, and the 200,000 people there are ...... Although the battle was rushed, the minister still noticed something unusual. In Qilian City, in addition to the corpses of the people of the Qin State, there are also a large number of corpses of Mongols......"

Tuoba Hong's eyes suddenly froze: "Mengren? ”

"Yes." Chen Xiu frowned slightly, trying his best to recall: "It's a Mongolian sergeant, and he died a tragic death. ”

Tuoba Hong sneered suddenly. He turned around and slammed his palm on the desk, squinting at Chen Xiu and said, "General Chen!" It's not that hard to understand! The Qin State and the Mongols had been friends for decades, and they resisted the Xiongnu together. In the eyes of the Xia Kingdom, Dayue, Goryeo, and Dali, Mongolia and Qin are still allies, and few people will know that there has long been a rift between the two countries! You say, if the Mongols attacked the Xia Kingdom......"

Chen Xiu had already made this judgment in his heart, and when he heard the emperor's words, he wanted to ask Ying to verify the matter. However, Tuoba Hong waved his hand, and said hatefully: "Don't bother to check!" Come, go and spread the word to the king of Mongolia, I want to see him! In addition, all the envoys of the Xia Kingdom were executed! ”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Zuo took a step forward and stopped: "If it is really Mongolia that invades the Xia State, the Xia State thinks that Qin and Mongolia are in the same breath and attacks the Qin State, this is simply the treacherous plan of the Mongolian king!" If the emperor kills the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, won't it make the Mongolian king succeed! ”

"The prime minister doesn't have to say much!" At this time, Tuoba Hong was already angry, and he was not at all interested in Prime Minister Zuo's sleek diplomatic methods. There was a penetrating ruthlessness in his eyes: "The war has begun, and there is no turning back!" Even if the Xia Kingdom was deceived by the Mongol envoys, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Great Qin were lost at the hands of the Xia people! Xia invaded Qin, no matter what the reason is, I must fight back! "Anyway, his wheezing voice is much heavier, Yuan Yeol, you are very good!

***

Won Yeol was brought to the palace overnight. At that time, the captives in front of them were killed, and the heads were hung on the city wall, and the military generals and envoys were having a night banquet and drinking. The envoys of the Xia Kingdom were inexplicably taken away, saying that they were summoned by the emperor, but they and the people around them didn't care, and they thought that they were passing on the past to reward some good things.

Then Yuan Lie also left his seat to build Zhang Palace. According to his habits, His Majesty Qin is nothing in his eyes, where will he follow the summons. However, he came here honestly today.

Stepping into the hall, I saw the left and right prime ministers standing in a sneering manner, and Chen Xiu, who had a few faces, heard that he was a celebrity in front of Emperor Qin, was still kneeling, Yuan Lie suddenly sneered, and asked Tuoba Hong: "Yo! Your Majesty does not accept the admiration of all the people on the city wall, but sulks in his own bedroom! Hearing that General Chen sent good news to Beijing again, is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the war situation of the Xiongnu! ”

Yuan Lie was born white, looking like a weak and elegant scholar, if he was riding a horse, his eyes would show bloodthirsty coldness, which was terrifying. But when he laughed so ordinarily, at first glance, he was like a leisurely and elegant nobleman, he was ten years younger than Tuoba Hong, and his face was as handsome as a star.

Naturally, this is just from the outside.

With a smile on his face, his eyes inadvertently glanced over the beams and curtains in the Jianzhang Palace—from the moment he stepped here, he knew that all the invisible corners contained the best assassins carefully cultivated by the Qin Imperial Family. In the Qin State, these people were selected from the martial arts masters of the Imperial Forest Army, and most of the Qin royal family called them Blood Drops.

And Yuan Lie, he didn't wear armor today, so he drank with a group of courtiers and drank a lot of wine. He's a great entertainer. There was only one entourage by his side, the person who had been rude and presumptuous at Changning's makeup ceremony before, and this person often followed Yuan Lie's closest side, obviously a close confidant.

The flame in Tuoba Hong's heart was forcibly suppressed, and he couldn't hold back it when he saw Yuan Lie's laughing appearance. He snorted coldly, his gaze swept from Yuan Lie to the entourage beside him: "King Khan, you should know very well why I am angry. ”

"Ah, Your Majesty has been in the Qin State for too long, thinking that we Mongolians are full of flowers and intestines like the Qin people, and will play those tricks and speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts?" Yuan Lie laughed even harder: "Your Majesty is too exalted to us, we are not good at this." ”

"Yuan Lie, you ......" Tuoba Hong was so angry that he was smoking, he had already reached this point, and the other party was still scolding the people of Qin! He couldn't help but call the Mongolian king by his name, holding the incense burner on the bookcase with one hand, as if he would drop it on Yuan Lie's face in the next moment, and said with hatred: "You are violent and ruthless!" Why did the Xia State sneak attack the Qin State, could it be that you led your troops to invade the Xia State in the name of the Qin-Meng Alliance! Qin's Qilian City was slaughtered by the Xia State, but the cities of Dawan and Changlan on the border of the Xia State were also bloodbathed before this, and it was the Mongols who slaughtered the Xia people and forcibly seized their land, and they ...... it."

Halfway through, the voice came to an abrupt end. Tuoba Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at this young man with a young and weak appearance: "The King of Khan can come today, and he is smiling and smiling, and he is light and breezy, he must have made all preparations a long time ago!" Ha, the Khan knows everything, and he is not afraid of my wrath at all, and he looks like he is ready to threaten me? ”

"This king doesn't dare to be." Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows and said, "The Qin State is much stronger than Mongolia, how can this king dare to threaten His Majesty the Qin State?" As he spoke, he laughed out loud again: "This matter is to blame, you can only blame Your Majesty for being too face-conscious, and you are reluctant to make such a friendly alliance as Mongolia, so you have always declared that the friendship between Qin and Mongolia lasts forever and is like a family." It's not surprising that the people of the Xia Kingdom will be deceived......"

Tuoba Hong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yuan Lie to admit everything so quickly.

These were just speculations by him and Chen Xiu, and there was no evidence for anything. He summoned the Mongol king, but because he was so angry that he thought that nothing would be gained. But I never thought of it......

At such times, he will not be angry. His expression became calm, and he said lightly to the Mongolian king: "So, what is the plan of the king of Khan?" made such a big play, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians, and finally came to the Qin State in person at the risk of his life. King Khan, what do you want to do? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be so wary of me." He seemed to be tired of standing, so he found a chair and sat down at random: "This king can come to the palace of Qin and dare to step into His Majesty's bedroom on such a dangerous night, this is enough to show the sincerity of this king, isn't it?" Your Majesty, this king has always believed that Meng Qin is a strong alliance and is like a family. What else could this king visit Qin for? Naturally, it's for cooperation......"

"Do you think I'm going to work with a dangerous alliance that will bite back at any moment?" Takubahiro sneered.

"Could it be that Your Majesty would want to kill me?" Won Yeol scoffed.

Once again, Takubahiro was enraged by his attitude. He raised his hand slightly, and the hidden assassins would come out at any moment, but Tuoba Hong's gaze remained fixed on the retinue beside Genyeol. Won Yeol was also a king, and fellow king Tuoba Hong thought he knew Won Lie in this regard, and he thought that Yuan Lie would never put his life in the most dangerous situation.

Kings will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and once the king dies in a foreign land, what kind of blow will it be to the courtiers and people in the country.

Therefore, the entourage who followed Yuan Lie's side is probably not simple...... Tuoba Hong's brows furrowed slightly, this person once spoke wildly at the banquet, his temperament was very bold and decisive, and his face was covered with terrifying black lines, looking quite like a samurai. It's just that this person is as slender as Yuan Yeol, and the thin person does not have an advantage in strength, but if he is proficient in dagger or swordsmanship...... Perfect for being an Assassin.
