Chapter XVI: Conspiracy
Xinguo, after learning about Fengguo's conditions, Wei Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, now you can only promise them first, otherwise we won't be able to rely on us alone."
"But how willing am I to lose a piece of land in vain."
"Your Majesty, who said that it must be distributed to them, when the time comes, we will use Fengguo's army as cannon fodder, as long as we win, we will immediately deal with all Fengguo's army, so that Fengguo will become a lamb to the slaughter, and we can take both countries in one fell swoop."
"At that time, Your Majesty will definitely increase your strength, and it is not impossible to take the entire Qinghe County."
Wei Xing's eyes lit up, and then he decisively agreed to Fengguo's conditions.
Looking at his appearance, it seems that he has foreseen the scene of his occupation of Qinghe County.
"Your Majesty, should we prepare early, winter is about to begin."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, don't let me down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In this way, the two countries united with their own evil intentions and began to secretly gather troops and conduct strict drills.
……
After the capital of the Sui Kingdom, he took Li Wei to a restaurant, and after working for so long, it was rare to relax.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you're going to do next?"
"The next step is to capture Qinghe County, and I am ready to start a war with Xin and Feng after the spring ploughing in the lunar year."
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of the two countries, you still have to be careful of the enemies in the south."
"South?"
"That's right, there is a tyrant in the south of Qinghe County, under his control, the people are not happy, but they are not weak militarily, there are more than 20,000 troops, and several small countries around it can barely resist when they are united."
"It's a mess over there now, and it's not just that one who has the strength, and the others can't be underestimated."
"Your Majesty must not be taken lightly!!"
After taking a sip of wine, it was the first time he had heard about the situation in the south, and he didn't expect it to be even more chaotic than him.
"How brutal is that tyrant sir?"
"Your Majesty, bullying men and women, it is no longer enough to describe him as inhumane."
"So ruthless?"
"Originally, it wasn't like this, I heard others say that this emperor was not like this originally, but after waking up one day, his temperament suddenly changed, and he did things vigorously and resolutely, and after controlling the country's troops, he became more and more unscrupulous."
"He began to attack the surrounding small countries frequently, and became stronger and stronger like a snowball, and soon became a villain who dominated one side."
When Yang Lie heard this, he couldn't help but have a guess, but he was still uncertain.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh! It's okay! ”
Retracting their thoughts, the two continued to drink.
……
On the other side, after a period of repair, the emperors of Xinguo and Fengguo held an alliance on the border with their own troops.
"Brother Wei, don't come unharmed!"
"I'm good!"
"Brother Wei, this is your army? That's a lot of people! ”
Looking at the army behind Wei Xing, the number was about three thousand, which could be regarded as an outpouring of troops.
"You brought a lot of them!"
"After all, it is a joint anti-Sui effort, and the national strength of the Later Sui is not weak."
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two came to a large tent and sat on either side, with their respective generals and officials behind them.
"The purpose of this alliance is to capture Hou Sui, but some details still need to be discussed, so I invited Brother Wei here to be foolproof."
"I know this, the enemy this time is very strong, if we don't solve it now, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in the future."
The two of them looked serious, obviously treating Hou Sui as a thorn in their side.
"In this attack, my new country sent 3,000 people, what about you?"
"I have a small number of soldiers, only 2,500 people."
"There is still a gap in the number of people!"
"It's okay, it's winter anyway, and there's still some time to recruit some dead soldiers."
"That's a way to do it."
"Brother Wei, all the troops are under your command this time, but you also know my requirements, don't break your promise when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."
"Okay, I'll have no problem, I'll leave everything to Brother Wei to decide."
"Okay, after signing the covenant, you and I can go back, and the time for the attack is set after the first snow."
"No problem!"
The two signed the pact and went back with their own people, but they didn't notice that several scouts were lying on the ground on the hillside, watching them cautiously.
"Go back and report to Your Majesty, Xinguo and Fengguo are conspiring, and it seems that they are preparing to unite."
"Yes!"
One of them quickly left, mounted his horse and hurried back to Hou Sui.
……
On this day, Yang Lie was reviewing the recital, and a figure sneaked in.
"Your Majesty, the front line is urgent."
"Bring it on!"
"Yes!"
After carefully reading the contents of the letter, Xinguo and Fengguo secretly formed an alliance, and also signed an unknown alliance.
"Xinguo and Fengguo?"
He knew that these two countries had given him gifts before, but now that they were united, he didn't know what they were doing.
Handing the letter to Zheng De, he began to think about the intentions of the two countries.
Zheng De took the letter, glanced at it, and then took out a fire fold and lit it.
The letter churned in flames, then turned into a pile of ashes, dissipating with the secrets on it.
"Go find Li Wei!"
"Yes!"
After a while, Li Wei hurriedly walked in.
"Your Majesty!"
"Aiqing, I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"I just received a secret letter that Xinguo and Fengguo secretly met once, and their intentions are not yin."
"Xinguo and Fengguo?"
"That's right! What do you think? ”
Li Wei thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, they may be uniting against us. ”
"Hmmm! It's possible, but I'm not telling you why they're doing it, they're really that confident? ”
"Your Majesty, it may be that we are getting stronger and stronger, and we want to fight to the death!"
"Humph! They had a good idea, but unfortunately they were doomed. ”
"What is Your Majesty going to do?"
"Of course, it took the initiative to destroy these two countries directly."
"Your Majesty, it's winter soon, and they are likely to send troops in winter, so we shouldn't be startling now."
"Your Majesty, you have a map here."
"Yes!"
Xiao Dezi immediately went to the side hall to get a map and spread it on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is the only major road for them to attack, if they really want to attack in winter, they will definitely not take the small road, as long as they set up an ambush here, they will definitely be able to catch them off guard, which is much more cost-effective than taking the initiative to attack."
"What if they take the path?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured! If they really want to attack in winter, they will definitely choose after the snow, which is the time when our army is slack, and the path after the snow is very dangerous, they will definitely not take risks, and taking the big road is their best choice. ”
"And when it snows, no one wants to go out, and even if they walk the road, they won't be noticed."
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
"Okay, just set up an ambush on the main road and catch them by surprise."
