King Jiuyi pretended to be pitiful and embarrassed in front of him, and Yu Qingwu couldn't see it? He just knew that his brain was rusty, not to mention the princes who dominated one side, that is, the army under the command of the lord of each city was more than reported. As far as Jiuyi, an ambitious eastern state, could it really be that there are only 100,000 troops as it seems? If you really count it, I am afraid that it will be more than 200,000! After all, Jiuyi is not comparable to a small country like Shi Guo.

Not only does he know this point, but everyone who has a little insight knows the Dao, including the Human Emperor Xia Lugui, otherwise, when drafting this edict, how could Xia Luqi order Jiuyi to contribute all the troops on the surface?

The meaning of this King of Jiuyi is clearly that he doesn't want to offend Daxia, and he doesn't want to hurt his vitality, Yu Qingwu chuckled, patted King Jiuyi on the shoulder, and said: "King Jiuyi is serious, although Jiuyi is adjacent to the East China Sea, there are also many fierce sea beasts in the East China Sea, but the Jiuyi children have always been known for their good shooting, even if there is no army stationed on the beach, those people should have no problem dealing with some sea beasts with their excellent archery skills!"

Jiuyi people are good at shooting, this is a well-known thing in the world, and Hou Yi, who almost overthrew Great Xia back then, is not known as the God of Arrows?

"That's right!" At this time, Ji Chenggang also spoke, and said: "Now it is the end of autumn, and it is approaching winter, and the sea beasts are basically dormant in the deep sea, where will they go ashore for disaster? ”

Listening to the two young people singing and harmonizing, King Jiuyi hated his teeth in his heart, but what the two of them said was right, there had been no sea beasts attacking villages and towns in the coastal area for several years, plus now it was not the season for sea beasts to be infested, and even if they were lucky, they were brought ashore by a few sea beasts, as long as they were not the kind of famous fierce beasts, those people who lived by the sea could solve it themselves.

Having said that, he would not hand over the 100,000 troops so easily, and immediately smiled bitterly: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Lone is also considering from the position of the head of a clan, if all the 100,000 troops really go out to fight, and at this juncture, there are sea beasts as a disaster, how can Lone face Dongyi's father? So please ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Qingwu directly raised his hand to stop it, the smile on his face was hidden, and he said in a deep voice: "The King of Jiuyi has only thought about how to face the people of Jiuyi, but has he ever thought about how to face the current human emperor?"

"Lonely ......"

"The human emperor is the Son of Heaven, ruling the earth on behalf of the heavens, you only have the people but no king in your heart, isn't this disloyal?" Yu Qingwu said in a deep voice, and even stopped using 'king' to call the king of Jiuyi between words, but directly used 'you'.

"This ......" King Jiuyi's face was not very good, and the anger in his heart burned even more, but at this time, Ji Chenggang said with a smile: "I said that your majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor of the People's Republic of China said that Jiuyi would send 100,000 troops, that is, all the people in Jiuyi should be soldiers, and Jiuyi must also respond, otherwise it will not fall into the reputation of a traitor like Yanzhou? At that time, I am afraid that Jiuyi will also be in the situation of Yanzhou at this time, and it may be destroyed at any time." ”

King Jiuyi was silent, according to his original idea, it should be very easy to negotiate the conditions with the two young people, and the final one might be between 30,000 and 60,000 to send troops by himself. But who would have thought that these two young men would not give themselves room for bargaining at all, and open their mouths about the orders of an emperor and shut up about an unfaithful traitor, and he wanted to go crazy when he heard it.

If Jiuyi was ready to rebel, then he wouldn't have let these two milky little farts chirp crookedly for so long, and directly tied up the two when he found that there was no need to talk, as for when to kill it depends on the mood. It's just that Jiuyi is not ready to rebel, and the number of Great Xia is not exhausted, as long as Great Xia does not point the sword at Jiuyi first, he will not easily disobey Great Xia.

When the King of Jiuyi weighed, Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang did not speak, they knew that they must not force the King of Jiuyi to be tight, otherwise the dogs would jump over the wall in a hurry, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

After a long time, King Jiuyi raised his head, looked at Yu Qingwu with a firm look, and said: "Your Highness, Jiuyi is absolutely loyal to the Human Emperor, but the soldiers of Jiuyi are indeed inexhaustible, so Gu decided to ......"

Swish!

Before the King of Jiuyi finished speaking, Yu Qingwu stood up suddenly, looked at the King of Jiuyi sharply and said: "It is already a bit difficult to attack Yanzhou with an army of 100,000, and you still refuse to send out even 100,000, do you want your tens of thousands of Jiuyi Erlang to be sent to death, or do you want this king to be sent to death?"

"It's not too late for Your Highness to listen to Gu first!" King Jiuyi smiled bitterly, pulled Yu Qingwu to sit down, and said: "It's not that Gu wants to let the sons and daughters go to death or let His Highness and the prince go to death, but the army is really tight." Eighty thousand, Lone is willing to temporarily hand over eighty percent of the troops to His Highness and send them to Yanzhou, how about it?"

Upon hearing that the King of Jiuyi said that he was willing to send 80,000 troops instead of 30,000 or 40,000, Yu Qingwu's face was slightly better, and he said: "Since the king is loyal, it is better to let 100,000 troops be exhausted." This king can assure you that if there is any disaster in the country that causes losses when the Jiuyi army is exhausted, all losses will be borne by Great Xia!"

Ji Chenggang once again spoke out at the right time: "What the king is worried about is nothing more than the fear of losses caused by the occurrence of sea beasts in the coastal areas when there are no soldiers in the country, and now His Royal Highness has promised that all losses will be borne by Great Xia, and the king's worries are relieved, why should the king continue to be persistent?"

"This ......"

King Jiuyi was about to find another excuse to refuse, and suddenly it occurred to him that even if all the 100,000 troops were lost, wouldn't he be able to lie about the disaster and then extort a sum of money from the Great Xia Lion!

Thinking of this, he laughed in his heart, but his face was still as if he had eaten a yellow lotus, and he pretended to be difficult: "Okay, since His Highness has handed over all the power of Yanzhou to His Highness, I believe that what His Highness says is equivalent to what His Highness said, so I will believe in His Highness the next time, and give 100,000!"

"Good!"

Hearing that the King of Jiuyi was willing to send 100,000 troops, Yu Qingwu immediately applauded and said: "The king really understands the righteousness, the little king will take back his previous words, and I hope the king will not take it to heart!"

"Your Highness is serious. King Jiuyi waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, but he minded to death in his heart.

Yu Qingwu nodded and said, "Without further ado, please ask the king to send troops to Yanzhou immediately, so that Yanzhou can be pacified as soon as possible!"

King Jiuyi, who had already promised to send 100,000 troops, naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately took the two of them to the school field, ordered the eight armies, a full 100,000 people, followed by heavy supplies, and after everything was available, Yu Qingwu and Ji Cheng just now marched towards the northwest with a mighty army of 100,000.

Before that, Yu Qingwu had gone on two expeditions, the first time he led ten horsemen to Guangqi Lake, and the second time he led the Blackwood army to Shicheng. However, the first two times combined were not as deep as this time, for no other reason, only because of this time the 100,000 army really had the appearance of going out to fight.

There are 100,000 people, a piece of black pressure, the end is a thousand feet apart, among which there are many large war equipment such as trebuchets, ladders, chariots, etc., leading such a large group of people, Yu Qingwu only has a feeling that he can step on the heaven and the earth under his feet.

In fact, not only him, but even Ji Chenggang had similar feelings. Although Ji Chenggang said that as the prince of Jizhou, the total number of troops up and down Jizhou was more than 100,000, but he never really integrated into the army.

There are many people, and there are many large equipment, which is good for fighting, but it is much slower for travel. The distance between Yanzhou and Jiuyi is only 800 miles, if Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang ride beasts, they will not be able to arrive in half an hour, even if they are light horses, it will take less than two days. But with a huge number of 100,000 people, plus trebuchets, ladders, weights, etc., the speed of the march could not be slower, and at this rate, it would be at least ten days before they arrived in Yanzhou.

But this is also a matter of urgency, the mighty army of 100,000 people marched towards Yanzhou with the momentum of the mountains and the sea, and the birds were frightened away and the beasts galloped everywhere they passed, and they avoided it from a distance.

On the fifth day, I finally rushed to almost 400 miles, and there was only less than 400 miles left from Yanzhou, and if it was fast, it would take five days to enter Yanzhou, and if it was slow, it would take six days. However, at this time, a team of scouts sent out to inquire about the military situation returned from horseback.

"Report to Your Highness, there is news from Yanzhou!" a scout jumped off his galloping horse and knelt in front of Yu Qingwu.

Yu Qingwu raised his hand and said, "Say!"

"A day ago, the King of Yanzhou sent a convoy of tributes to set out for Shencheng, and it is reported that the tribute has increased slightly compared to previous years!" said the scout.

Yu Qingwu hadn't replied, but Ji Chenggang frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?"

"It is said that the reason why Yanzhou has not paid tribute for a long time is that the official in charge of taxation will fill his own pocket with the tribute, and then the prince of Yanzhou will order the tax official to be beheaded after learning of this, and add some tribute to transport to the town!"

Hearing the scout's words, Yu Qingwu was expressionless and didn't say anything, but Ji Chenggang's eyebrows condensed into a line, he couldn't have imagined that Yanzhou's refusal to pay tribute would develop like this. As soon as Jiuyi sent troops to Yanzhou, Yanzhou sent out the tribute convoy, although on the surface it was said that it was due to the corruption of the tax officials that the tribute was delayed, but those who have a little brain know that this shows that Yanzhou sees that the Great Xia is not exhausted, and does not want to turn against the Great Xia at this time!

At this time, he had already guessed that the reason why Yanzhou didn't pay tribute was to try how many supporters there were in Great Xia, or how many people still had supporters, thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Yu Qingwu beside him: "Do you want to go to Yanzhou now?"

"Go, why don't you go?"

Yu Qingwu smiled evilly, waved his big hand, and said in a loud voice: "The king of this book has ordered that the army will make a fire on the spot to cook, and continue to move forward after it is full!"
