Chapter 048: Sparks Burn the Plains

The grass is vast, the aspen is also dashing, the frost is at the end of September, and the people are far away from the suburbs.

The carriage swayed on the slightly desolate land, and the western part of the Daning Dynasty had not yet been affected by the war, so it was very calm compared to the southeast of the main battlefield.

The farther he went to the northwest, the colder the weather became, even if he had been prepared, Lu Yingquan was still dragged down by the wind and sand and cold in the Jade Country, so he had to temporarily stop moving forward and rest in a city called Dusk City.

Dusk City is named after its sunset that envelops the entire city, and it can be regarded as the most beautiful and fertile city on the southern border of the Jade Kingdom.

Lu Yingquan has been pregnant for six months, with a big belly, and the fatigue of the boat and car is really hard, coupled with the fact that he is not very adaptable to the climate of the Jade Country, when he enters the territory of the Jade Country, he has a faint feeling of fatigue, his body is getting more and more tired, and the drowsiness is getting more and more serious.

Gu Qingming roughly estimated the strength of Ning Gong and Yiguo, Yiguo now has Jingguo and Haoguo to help, plus Yiguo's own troops, there should be no problem for a while, so he agreed to Yun Yao's proposal and stopped in Dusk City.

And just as Gu Qingming expected, the war at this time has been like a spark burning the prairie and is overwhelmingly unfolding in the eastern region.

In just a few months, King Cheng Shen Ping and King Bi Shen Hong have joined the camp of the Empress Dowager Qin. As a result, the forces of Ninggong, Chengguo, and Biguo are gathering towards Yiguo.

As a country sandwiched between these three forces, Haoguo blocked a lot of offensives from the three sides for Yiguo, so that Shen Che had time to lead his troops north, pushing the main battlefield of the war between the two sides from the previous border of Yiguo to the north to the territory of Biguo.

Yiguo and Haoguo cooperated with each other to resist the attacks from the tripartite forces, but because of the disadvantage in the terrain, although the two sides had their own victories and defeats, Shen Che still had no way to break through the encirclement of the tripartite forces.

Shen Che did not want the disaster of war to affect the land of Yiguo, but also could not continue to advance northward, and for a while, the war was stalemate and fell into a stalemate.

"Report - General Gu sent the Jingguo Covenant, and His Royal Highness King Jing sent Meng Yijie, the king of the king, to personally lead 50,000 fiefdom defenders from Jingguo, and now it has reached fifty miles away from the west!

The scout in charge of finding out the news knelt on one knee and held the covenant in both hands and presented it to Shen Che.

The news that King Jing sent troops to reinforce was like a bright light in the night, which made Shen Che see hope. He immediately took the covenant book and hurriedly swept it, and the moment the seal representing King Jing came into view, he knew that it was true.

The war has been stalemate for a long time, and if it continues like this, Yiguo will face tremendous pressure.

After all, Yiguo is only a feudal country, no matter how fully prepared it has been for more than ten years, it is not as rich as Ning Palace's wealth and wealth. The follow-up grain and grass and baggage are a big problem, if you can't continue to advance northward, and wait until the grain and grass in Yiguo are exhausted, it will be a disaster for the Yiguo army.

The arrival of King Jing's army broke this stalemate and set off huge waves on the battlefield that was originally stalemate.

As Jingguo joined the battle, the battle line between Ninggong and Yiguo stretched again.

Due to the geographical location, Meng Yijie naturally chose Chengguo as the target of the attack, helping Yiguo relieve some of the pressure. And Yiguo, with the cooperation of Haoguo, attacked from north to south, completely wiped out the army of Biguo blocking the border of Yiguo, smoothly passed through the territory of Biguo, and pushed the army north.

At the same time, the news of Jingguo's participation in the war and Biguo's defeat also reached the most noble woman in Ning Palace at the fastest speed.

Empress Dowager Qin, as usual, sat on the comfortable soft couch, holding the battle report in her hand, and carefully read it word by word, for fear of missing any bit of news.

"Jinxiu, you immediately contact the spies on Jing Guo's side and ask them why King Jing mobilized 50,000 troops, but they didn't receive any news. After reading the battle report, Empress Dowager Qin opened her mouth to command.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid feels that there is no need to contact them. Jinxiu stood aside, naturally saw the content of the battle report, and heard the queen mother's orders, but uncharacteristically did not immediately receive the order.

"Why?" Empress Dowager Qin asked rhetorically, and by the way, she also gathered the cloak on her body to make herself warmer.

She felt that this autumn was colder than usual, and now it was only October, and it was not yet the time of the bitter cold, but she could not do without the thick cloak and the warm soup woman.

"Queen Mother, don't forget, the news of Jingguo in the past was all obtained by Dieyi and them through Meng Yijie, the king of the side. Now on this battle report, it is clearly written that the 50,000 army of Jingguo is led by Meng Yijie, but there is no news from Dieyi, which can only show one thing, Meng Yijie has escaped from Dieyi's control. "Jinxiu is a bystander, but after a glance at the battle report, he already understands the cattiness.

The fine works sent by the Empress Dowager Qin to various countries are usually contacted by Jinxiu, and she has never made a mistake over the years, so Jinxiu knows the situation of each country well.

Jinxiu knows Meng Yijie's obsession with finding his sister, and also knows that over the years, Su Dieyi has used Meng Yiting's existence to contain Meng Yijie, and there has never been any accident.

But now, Jingguo is participating in the war, Meng Yijie is leading the troops, but Su Dieyi has no news coming, there are only two reasons for this situation.

First, Su Dieyi had rebelled and no longer provided news to Ning Palace; second, Meng Yijie was out of Su Dieyi's control, and Su Dieyi could no longer deliver news to Ning Palace.

Su Dieyi has been adopted and trained by the Queen Mother since she was a child, and her loyalty to the Queen Mother has never changed, so the first situation obviously does not exist, so it must be the second one. And the way to get Meng Yijie out of Su Dieyi's control is either that Meng Yijie has found his sister and is no longer subject to Su Dieyi, or Su Dieyi is dead and can no longer threaten Meng Yijie.

No matter what the reason, with Meng Yijie's temperament, he will definitely not let Su Dieyi live again, that is to say, Su Dieyi is no longer alive.

Soon, the Queen Mother also understood the meaning of Jinxiu's words, and the Queen Mother Qin was silent about this speculation close to the truth.

"Jinxiu, have you noticed that in recent times, the meticulous work of various countries has rarely sent news over?" Empress Dowager Qin asked, "Needless to say, Chengguo and Biguo have now returned to the mourning family, and their news mourning family knows it clearly. But the alliance between Haoguo and Yiguo, as well as the sudden dispatch of troops by Jingguo, did not reveal the slightest rumor in advance. ”

"What does Niangniang mean is that the spies we planted in Haoguo and Jingguo have been uprooted?" Jinxiu listened to the Queen Mother's words and immediately asked.

Although this conclusion sounded incredible, she could not think of any other reason for the spies planted in various countries to not send any information.

If the matter of Haoguo is an accident, then there is also no news from Jingguo, which is worth pondering.

What's more, Haoguo and Jingguo are all on the same front as Yiguo, and Jinxiu has not forgotten how King Yi, who has been in obscurity for a long time, used a set of golden cicada shelling tactics under the nose of the Empress Dowager Qin and escaped from the capital.

Since King Yi was able to escape under such a tight blockade and defense in the capital, it shows that he has good skills, and it is not difficult to find out the spies planted by the Empress Dowager Qin in various countries. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the Empress Dowager Qin did not receive the letter.

"Amin has been by King Hao's side for so many years, and he has never made any mistakes, and he has always won the trust of King Hao. She is also the most reassuring one for me, but there is no news from her, which means that her identity in the Hao Palace has been exposed. Empress Dowager Qin said, "Since King Hao has already stood on the opposite side of the mourning family, there is no reason to keep Amin anymore." ”

"So what should I do now?" Jinxiu also felt that something was wrong, so she asked.

These meticulous works planted in various countries have all been dormant for at least three years, and Mrs. Min has been for more than ten years. There have been no problems for such a long time, but in the last few months, there have been accidents one after another, and even no news has been received in the capital, which shows how clever the opponent's methods are.

What's more, they don't know how the identities of those meticulous works were revealed, and who can so accurately remove those nails planted in various countries one by one?

"Now that the war is tense, the battle between Ning Gong and Yi Guo is deadlocked, although Jing Guo helps, but in terms of troops, Yi Guo is still not Ning Gong's opponent. Empress Dowager Qin pondered for a moment, then said, "Now in Daning, the only feudal countries that have not participated in the war are Rui and Yu, Rui King Shen Chi is impulsive and brainless, not the kind of person who has a city in his heart; ”

"The slave maid understands, does the Queen Mother want to send people to the Jade Country and the Rui Country respectively, wait for the rabbit, and see who is secretly doing it to help Yiguo?" Jinxiu asked.

"Yes, it took so much effort for the mourning family to gradually control the news of various countries, how could it be cut off so easily?" A trace of coldness flashed in Empress Dowager Qin's eyes, "You command to go down, find this person, and kill him!"

The last three words, murderous, made Jinxiu feel a pang in her heart.

In Jinxiu's opinion, it has been a long time since the Empress Dowager Qin has released such a great killing intent, and this person who secretly helped the Yiguo Alliance successfully angered the Empress Dowager Qin's backlash and provoked her murderous intent.

And Jinxiu can even imagine the fate of that person in the future, it must be dead and dead, because no one has ever been able to escape after disobeying and provoking the Empress Dowager Qin, no matter who she is!

Leaving from the main hall of Jianzhang Palace, Jinxiu went to arrange related matters, but the Empress Dowager Qin did not continue to stay in the palace, she remembered that there was still a person under house arrest in this Jianzhang Palace, a person who had a lot to do with King Yi Shen Che - Jiang Yi.

And this woman may be a bargaining chip for the Empress Dowager Qin to deal with Yiguo, after all...... Jiang Yi can't be regarded as a person now, the fetus in her womb is Shen Che's biological blood, with this bargaining chip, Empress Dowager Jiang and Shen Che may not be able to cast a mouse bogey.
