With the death of Yuan Zhen, Qin Yi, the son of King Huai, opened the city gate of Liangzhou.

The grassland alliance drove straight in, and in the face of more than 100,000 Rong troops, the garrison in the city was instantly defeated as if it were devastated.

With the loss of the city defense, Liangzhou was completely reduced to a forbidden area for killing, and the people in the city continued to be broken and killed under the iron hooves of the Rong people.

The first to bear the brunt were the landlords and wealthy families in the city, whose family property accumulated for generations was looted, and even their lives could not be saved.

At this time, Zong Yu, the temporary leader of the Prairie Alliance, began to gather his subordinates and gathered the people who had become refugees in an orderly manner.

Of course, this is not because he has a good heart, but because he wants to turn all these people into cannon fodder for invading other states and counties.

Qin Yi, the prince of the world, looked at the more and more Rong soldiers pouring into the city, and his expression was complicated.

From now on, the name Qin Yi will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

But before he could think about it, a shout broke his thoughts.

"Shizi."

Mr. Ye slowly walked towards Qin Yi surrounded by a group of Rong people.

Afterwards, Qin Yi and his guards were taken to a middle-aged man on a horse.

"You are the prince of Huaiwang?"

Looking at the majestic Rong man in front of him, Qin Yi knew that he was probably the Black Wolf Country Lord who had communicated with him before.

But at this time, Qin Yi faced the army of the Rong clan who were constantly entering the customs, and he no longer had any capital to negotiate conditions.

"In Xia Qin Yi, the general is the sect master?"

Listening to Qin Yi's inquiry, the majestic man on the horse just nodded slightly, which was regarded as recognizing his identity, and then listened to him say unhurriedly.

"Our army entered the city, and the son of the world should be the first to take the credit."

Listening to Zong Yu's praise, Qin Yi felt an inexplicable irony, and looked at the various scenes of the looting in the city without saying a word.

Both of them were silent like this, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Then Zong Yu's voice slowly came into Qin Yi's ears: "I don't know if the prince is willing to be the lord of these six states." ”

……

Kyoto, the Imperial City.

Qin Yu sat on the dragon chair in the middle, and a group of civil and military generals stood below, all of whom were silent at this time.

The urgent news of the border pass has reached Kyoto, and all the six prefectures in the north are asking for help from the imperial court, except for Liangzhou, which has already fallen.

But everyone knows that with the loss of Liangzhou, which is the most geographically dangerous, the rampant grassland cavalry has become unstoppable.

The imperial court simply could not allocate enough manpower to support the six northern states in a short period of time, and it was only a matter of time before the six states fell.

Since ascending the throne, Qin Yu has been thoughtful about every step he takes, and although he is angry at this time, he is still not carried away.

After a while, Qin Yu's calm voice slowly came out.

"Order all states to send troops to Huya Pass on the same day to resist the Rong trouble."

As the words fell, all the ministers in the palace looked at each other and began to whisper to each other.

Dazai Li Li also sighed at this time, his eyes full of helplessness.

At present, the entire north is suffering from a severe drought that is rare in a century, and rebellions have broken out in various places, and the people are already struggling to make a living.

The armies of the states have struggled so hard to suppress the popular uprisings in their own jurisdictions, let alone send troops to quell the border chaos.

The emperor didn't have a better way at this time, although he knew that far water could not quench his thirst, but he still had to make some arrangements.

Qin Yu of the six border states has no ability to recover, but the Huya Pass must be firmly defended.

If Huya Pass, the first dangerous pass in the world, is lost, Great Xia will be completely subverted.

After the court meeting ended, Qin Yu walked out of the palace gate alone, looking straight at the northern sky and was silent.

The young figure was thinner and thinner by the evening daylight, and the shadow behind him was infinitely elongated, gradually disappearing into darkness.

……

Lingshui County, at the foot of Hare Mountain, Xiao Jiu was reviewing the cavalry battalion he had just formed.

Looking at the more than two hundred Xiao Zi battalion soldiers in front of him riding on tall war horses, Xiao Jiu was inevitably a little excited in his heart.

"Finally have your own cavalry."

When Xiao Jiu was a small mountain bandit on Hare Mountain before, he longed to form a cavalry with super mobility.

However, limited by financial resources and war horses, it has not been possible to achieve its wishes, and at this time, the cavalry battalion was born, coupled with the high-strength crossbows produced in batches, the combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger.

In addition, the county's grain requisition notice had been distributed to Lingshui County half a month ago, but Xiao Jiu was not ready to fulfill the contract after accepting it.

It won't be long before Lingshui County, which has not paid grain for a long time, there will definitely be some actions in Qingzhou Mansion.

Xiao Jiu has been preparing to resist the Qingzhou Army for a day or two, and Xiao Jiu has been prepared for this.

However, with the spread of the disaster in the north, the profitability of the Lingshui caravan gradually became a little weak.

There were a large number of popular uprisings in Jizhou and Yuzhou at this time, although the government sent troops to suppress them many times, it would take time after all.

Deteriorating security conditions have gradually made the business environment untenable, and caravans are no longer allowed to trade on a large scale.

And Qingzhou also made the Lingshui caravan unable to operate normally because of the contradiction between Lu Yaoliang and Xiao Jiu.

Cutting off the financial road is like breaking Xiao Jiu's arm, but there is no way to solve the current predicament.

Fortunately, the grain in Lingshui County is gradually harvested, and there is no need to worry about food for the time being.

As time goes by, everything is moving in an unknown direction, after all, it is not as quiet and peaceful as it used to be, and there are even some signs of chaos in the world.

Just when Xiao Jiu was preparing to deal with the encirclement and suppression of Qingzhou, the news of the fall of the six border states reached Lingshui County first.

Xiao Jiu listened to the soldier's report, and he frowned slightly unexpectedly.

"Rong invasion?"

In front of the four big characters that appeared in the bottom of his heart, Xiao Jiu seemed to have seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Xiao Jiu has traveled to this strange era for some time, and has a basic understanding of the form of the world.

Whether it is the memories of his previous life or the words of others, Xiao Jiu has always had a hostile psychology towards these border aliens.

In his opinion, those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

There is no possibility of reconciliation between two neighbouring countries or nations in the face of limited resources.

It can only be a stalemate with each other, or the stronger side will swallow up the weaker side.

The current Great Xia is unable to recover the lost territory of the six states, and can only hold the gate of Huya Pass to the border.

Previously, the soldiers of the six states on the border advised the imperial court, Xiao Jiu had gone north with the Qingzhou army to Zhili to see this Xiongguan in the world, and he didn't think that it would be easily broken by the Rong people.

And the rest of the states will definitely be stationed at this time to accumulate food, and will no longer easily work the people and lose money to raise troops.

Lu Yaoliang of Qingzhou will probably not risk the world's disapproval to attack him, which can also leave Xiao Jiu a chance to breathe.

In this way, it is not all bad.

But the six states have fallen, and those border areas will definitely be ruined, and I don't know how many souls will be wronged.

In this regard, Xiao Jiu could not do anything.
