Chapter 558: Betrayal
Although the water network on the Canglan Plain is vertical and horizontal, the karst caves at the bottom of the Moon God Lake are connected to another set of water bodies. It intersects with three surface rivers and countless underground rivers, and finally leads to the southernmost Forbidden Sea of the Valley.
This route is also a route for many fish and water monsters, these big fish grow and mature in the sea, and finally have to swim back to their birthplace, that is, freshwater rivers and streams to spawn and reproduce.
However, for the Wei army, there were too many interception points on this waterway, and where did the Yan people go into the water? The most important thing is that the Yan army had not yet attacked the land at all, so how could they walk here as if they were in a no-man's land?
This mystery, Yun Jie and the Wei people will not make great efforts to solve, after all, now that the Yan people have seized the Canglan Plain, the Wei State must make every effort to prepare for the battle after the beginning of spring.
But then Feng Miaojun found the answer in another private letter.
It comes from Xu Linghai.
This person is now in the base camp of the Yan army stationed in Xidi. Because of his outstanding talent, he has been promoted to the rank of Privy Councillor, and is in charge of a large number of military aircraft.
According to the secret letter sent by Xu Linghai, the Yan army did not set foot directly on the ridge, but sneaked in from the mouth of Eagle's Beak Bay to the south of it.
When Feng Miaojun saw this, his phoenix eyes couldn't help but narrow, and anger flashed on his face.
Eagle's Beak Bay and its series of islands to the south were never owned by the former Yu State and the current Xinxia, but were the territory of a Zou State. The country is small, but half on land and half at sea, and the archipelago provides a good strategic buffer that a large country like the country would have to work hard to annex it.
But it has no special value, and it deserves to be conquered by great powers, except for the abundant catch. Another point is that such small countries and small forces are dotted along the coastal areas of the forbidden sea, and any major country is left to fend for themselves.
The territory of Zou is not large, and it is impossible to be unaware of the arrival of tens of thousands of Yan troops. It can be seen that the two sides are colluding together.
Xu Linghai's letter also mentioned that the secret underwater passage leading to the Moon God Lake by the sea was also the information provided by Zou Guo. Yan Guo gave Zou Guo 1,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of silver, and a number of magic weapons, and he got a single privilege to operate in Eagle's Beak Bay.
With the water splitting special effect that comes with the water splitting halberd, tens of thousands of troops can go around the rear of the Wei army along the waterway and quietly descend from the sky!
When the two armies are at a stalemate, either side will need to be cunning if they want to win. Feng Miaojun also admired the tricks of King Yan and the wise men around him, and if he wanted to use this method, he not only had to be very rich and could smash people's heads dizzy, but also had a strong imagination.
However, to her annoyance, Zou was obviously a vassal state of Xinxia, and soon after she became queen, this small country paid tribute to her.
The festival between Yan and Xinxia, as well as Xinxia's attitude towards Yan, Zou Guo is clear.
As a vassal state, even when the overlord is fighting, it has to coordinate its troops. Now, it is showing goodwill to Yan Guo, that is, it is meddling in the dispute between Yan and Wei, and it is also involved in the trouble that Xinxia avoids.
Where is this place for its suzerain? And Yan can buy it once, and naturally it can buy it two more times.
If Yan Guo wants to deal with Xinxia next time, which side will Zou Guo stand on?
There is also a big problem: Zou Guo's territory is very close to Xinxia, if Yan Guo uses this as a springboard in the future, will it be able to go deep into the interior of Xinxia? This is the situation that Feng Miaojun does not want to see the most.
When Fu Lingchuan heard about the whole story, he frowned: "It's time to teach Zou Guo a lesson." The army of Xinxia has not been in battle for a long time, and it is in need of warm-up. ”
King Yan has caught the loophole in the Weixia agreement. Zou is only a vassal state of Xinxia, and its sovereignty is complete, and the agreement cannot bind it.
Feng Miaojun waved his hand: "There are too few people who know that Zou Guo and Yan Guo collude with each other, and now that Zou Guo has been dealt with, King Yan will definitely find out that there are spies we have planted in his own high-level." "Xu Linghai is very important and cannot be exposed," we need an excuse to find out all the information about Zou Guo and see what can be used. ”
"It takes a long time. ”
"It doesn't matter, what we have is time. Feng Miaojun is not in a hurry, "Wei Yan's moves are still very methodical, and these two parties are still at ease. "For the ultimate battle, how long have the two great powers been preparing for it? They all have rich families, and they have only been working for a year, where will they be stretched?
Fu Lingchuan looked at her back, with a strange look in his eyes.
He not only knew the relationship between Feng Miaojun and Yun Kui, but also knew that the queen had promised Wei Guoshi that Xinxia would come to Wei to fight against Yan. Now that the two countries have been at war for nearly a year, Yan Guo has also seized the opportunity to turn the tide of the war, shouldn't she be in a hurry to join the war, why is it still the appearance of the old god?
It seems that she is not only ruthless to his cousin, but also hard-hearted to her lover.
However, he also understands that the current situation is the best for Xinxia, if the queen can always maintain her sanity.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
It is still cold and freezing on the Canglan Plain, but after all, it is almost the spring season, and the wind and snow have weakened significantly. The front line between the two armies had been quiet for two months, but everyone understood that this was only a precursor to the coming rain.
At this time, something big happened.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole New Summer is celebrating the Lantern Festival, but the sixth prince of Zou arrived in Ursell on this day, asking to see the Queen of New Xia, and then exposed the unrighteous actions of Zou in front of hundreds of officials.
You must know that as early as the beginning of the Wei-Yan War, Xinxia informed all the vassal countries not to move and not to get involved in the war between the two countries. Zou Guo's move is to serve the yang and the yin.
Therefore, the queen was furious, and Hu Yanlong led 40,000 troops, and she must teach Zou Guo a lesson!
At this time, Xinxia was already a behemoth, and it was also very convenient to transfer troops from the land to the southern seashore, and it only took ten days to arrive.
The news that Xinxia sent troops to attack reached the Zou State, and the top and bottom were shocked, and the monarch repaired the book and sent it to Usser, arguing that the Zou State had never let the Yan State take advantage of the road, and it was purely the sixth prince's blood and personal revenge.
Of course, Xinxia ignored it, and the army went fast.
There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the six gods of Zou State have no master, so they can only turn their eyes to Yan Guo and beg it to save themselves. If this is the trouble he has caused, shouldn't it be solved by him?
When King Yan received a request for help, he also felt that it was tricky.
At present, he is attacking Wei with all his might, and finally ushered in a small turning point on the battlefield, and is planning to continue to exert his power after the beginning of spring, which is definitely not to provoke Xinxia.
If Xin Xia does not send troops, he will be able to occupy more initiative on the battlefield of Wei.
Zou Guo is a subordinate of Xinxia, and if he rescues him, he will be directly on the same page as Xinxia. Did the Queen of New Xia just wait for this opportunity to send troops to participate in the western battlefield in a grand manner?
