In the middle of Hechuan County, the Xia Army camp.

King Qi Yu Zhaoling looked at the military report in his hand, sighed softly, and said:

"Cheng Bushi! Cheng Bushi! Why hasn't such a person gained any fame before?"

Jin Wang Yu Zhaoli heard this and couldn't help asking:

"Yun Jun, what happened again?"

King Qi handed the general's report to King Jin and said in a deep voice:

"The Yun Army is advancing steadily and has stationed its camp dozens of miles away from Hechuan County. Now that our army has lost tens of thousands, we are already at a disadvantage in front of the Yun Army, and we have to divide our troops to garrison Jianchang Mansion. If I were the commander of the Yun Army,

Naturally, we must seize this opportunity and press forward step by step!"

King Jin took the military report, glanced at it, frowned, and sighed:

"Alas, the Yun army is pressing forward step by step, our army is stretched thin, and the situation has collapsed to such an extent overnight! If I had known this, I shouldn't have wasted this God-given opportunity for these southwest generals!"

When King Qi heard this, he chuckled lightly, shook his head and said:

"Third brother, you are wrong! The Yun State is a foreign enemy and is easy to deal with. If it doesn't work this time, just look for opportunities next time. But these general families in the southwest are a sore on our Xia State. If we don't deal with it as soon as possible,

If you clean it up, it will cause serious trouble sooner or later!"

When the King of Jin heard this, he sighed softly and said:

"Although the Yun Kingdom is not as rich as Daxia, it is still one of the most powerful countries in the world, with a vast territory and a large population. This time, the young emperor of the Yun Kingdom used fierce methods to force the Yun Kingdom's border troops not to obey orders, and there were also Buddhists who were secretly harboring evil intentions.

, this allowed our army to invade the northern border so easily. Next time, there won’t be such a good opportunity!”

When King Qi heard this, he raised his head slightly and said confidently:

"Third brother, you are worrying too much! I, Daxia, lords it over the center of the world, and is home to more than half of the world's population. The most sacred land is in our dynasty, with abundant soldiers and food, and talented people. As long as the internal troubles are eliminated and everyone is united, the Emperor of Yun Kingdom will

No matter how great he is, he still has to defend the land of Tiannan and be his southern barbarian king!"

Seeing King Qi's confident face, King Jin moved his mouth, but in the end he just sighed quietly and said:

"It can't be that easy! Even if the generals in the southwest are gone, there are still hundreds of schools of thought fighting and criticizing each other in the court..."

Although the two of them had different opinions just now, they actually had a certain truth. It was just because of their different personalities and methods of doing things that they had such a dispute.

King Qi wholeheartedly believed that he could use his thunderous means to wipe out many internal troubles in the country. With the Xia Kingdom's heritage, he could completely use his power to coerce all the countries in the world and recreate the majesty of the time when all the countries came to court.

But King Jin is different from King Qi. He has been working in the court since he came of age. He is famous for his long sleeves and good dancing, and his temperament has been polished to be extremely smooth.

He knew the hundreds of factions that were deeply rooted in the court but were attacking each other all day long. He knew how huge their power was, and he did not think that King Qi had the ability to eliminate them.

King Qi could not see the timid appearance of his third brother. He patted the sword on his waist and said confidently:

"Third brother, believe me once! The necks of these people are no harder than those of the barbarians from the North..."

"Report!"

At this time, the urgent voice of the messenger interrupted King Qi's words.

King Qi looked at the embarrassed and anxious messenger, frowned and said:

"The Yun army attacked?"

"Commander, you are the domestic military report! The cavalry of the Yun Army penetrated into the country, constantly harassing prefectures and counties, attacking cities and villages, and the situation was in chaos! The prefects of various prefectures and counties wrote to the commander-in-chief to send troops to help!" The messenger panted.

road.

When King Jin heard this, he stood up suddenly with a look of horror on his face and said:

"What? Yun Jun ran away to the country?"

He was stunned for a while, then quickly looked at King Qi who looked calm and even had a smile on his face, and said anxiously:

"Nineteen, quickly, retreat to Jianchang Mansion! We don't want any other cities except Jianchang Mansion. Send the troops back..."

Halfway through his words, he noticed that King Qi was smiling softly and his expression was calm, without even the slightest change.

When King Qi first talked about how to deal with the generals in the southwest, his wild and proud but unpredictable look made King Jin remember him deeply.

King Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at King Qi suspiciously.

King Qi looked at King Qi, his eyes blinked slightly, and the corner of his mouth showed a trace of a proud smile after doing something bad.

That's right, I did it!

King Jin opened his mouth and looked at King Qi, who was quite pleased with himself, and his thoughts arose.

The expression on King Qi's face now is just like the expression on King Qi's face when he was young, after breaking Emperor Xia's favorite thing, he blamed it on his brother who was not dealing with them, and finally succeeded.

The messenger hadn't heard the two talking for a long time, so he raised his head cautiously. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was particularly harmonious, he couldn't help but hesitate for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interrupt, saying:

"Commander, Your Highness the King of Jin, the Yun army is wreaking havoc, destroying the city and killing people. Another rebel army took advantage of the situation and burned the transportation supplies. The southwest states and counties cannot bear the disturbance, so I ask the commander to send troops to rescue quickly!"

King Jin came back to his senses, sat down with peace of mind, nodded and said:

"I understand. It's just that the Yun Kingdom battlefield is at a critical moment. Don't move lightly. You ask the governors from all over the place to stand firm. As soon as the situation calms down a little, the army will immediately return to the defense..."

King Qi, who had looked calm just now, was stunned at first when he heard what the messenger said, then stood up suddenly and interrupted hastily:

"Wait a minute, what did you say, rebel army? Where did the rebel army come from?"

His move made King Jin, who had already calmed down, feel his heart jump again. He turned his head and looked at King Qi in disbelief.

Didn’t you just wink at me and say it’s okay?

King Qi could no longer care about anything else at this time. He walked quickly to the messenger, grabbed him and said:

"Rebellious soldiers? Burning transportation supplies?"

The ordering soldier was a little flustered and stammered:

"Yes, yes! The rebels burned the supplies piled up in Fengzhou City and prepared to send them to Jianchang Mansion."

King Qi's expression instantly became extremely ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you know which unit is responsible for the rebellion? It is not good for the general to restrain his troops, so he must be killed!"

"Commander, I apologize, but I haven't been able to find out which troops and horses they belong to... Oh, the military report only came from Fengzhou, saying that the rebel army was plotting rebellion, and the leader arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor! Nothing else.

knew!"

After hearing the news, King Jin, who was already a little flustered, suddenly became frightened and angry, and said sternly:

"A man so audacious dares to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor. This is treason and his entire clan should be punished!"

Raising troops to harass states and counties, and arrogantly proclaiming emperor, these are two different concepts!

No matter how much trouble the former caused, when they arrived in front of the emperor, it would be unfavorable for them to just restrain the troops with a light word.

But the latter, no matter whether it is just a farce caused by a group of ignorant and reckless people, as long as it is stabbed in front of the emperor, it is a huge sin!

King Qi had already suffered a huge defeat and lost his troops. If someone took advantage of this again, it would not be something that Emperor Xia could protect!

King Qi also knew the seriousness of this, his face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"These rebels really don't know how to live or die! Third brother will go back and take charge of Jiangyang County for me first. I will dispatch troops and horses to go back and wipe out the rebels!"

King Jin nodded, stood up quickly, and said:

"Okay, I'll set off now..."

"Report!" Another burst of rapid footsteps came.

Another messenger ran into the tent, knelt down and said loudly:

"Commander, there is an urgent report from the army! The Wuzhou garrison has discovered that there has been a change in the Yun Kingdom's border army! Half a month ago, the Emperor of Yun Kingdom personally entered the border army, subdued the generals, and returned them to the Yun Kingdom court for deployment. Now. Now

The Yun army is fiercely fighting and marching across the border, it looks like it is invading our territory!"

Wuzhou belongs to the Xia Kingdom, just across the river from Yongzhou. It was originally a military town to guard against the troops of the Li Dynasty. Now, with the Yun Kingdom's border troops stationed in Yongzhou, its main responsibility has become to monitor the Yun Kingdom's border troops.

When the King of Jin heard this, he staggered and almost lost his breath, and said anxiously:

"We can't stay any longer! Yun Guo can't stay any longer! Return to defense as soon as possible, otherwise Yun Guo will raise troops and the southwest territory will be in danger!"

At this time, King Qi gradually calmed down and did not immediately order a return to defense. Instead, he said in a deep voice:

"There are 30,000 troops stationed in Wuzhou, and there are also troops in various places in the south that the court can call on, which is impregnable! On the other hand, the Yun State border army has to garrison the newly acquired four states and guard against the Li Dynasty. There are 60,000 Yun troops in the north.

It is not enough, and troops must be sent for rescue. Although the Yun Kingdom's border army is elite, it only has a few hundred thousand soldiers and horses in total, so how can it be used? If I were the Yun Army, I would only need to send a small group of soldiers and horses..."

After King Qi finished speaking, he said in a daze:

"No way... Emperor Yun is acting so absurdly?"

"Oh, Nineteen, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Anyway, we have almost what we have to do. As you said, the worst we can do is retreat first and look for a good opportunity to attack the Yun Kingdom later!"

King Qi waved his hand and said repeatedly:

"Not this! Not this!"

As he spoke, he walked to the map behind him and asked again:

"Where did that group of rebels first appear?"

The messenger in the tent heard this and knew that King Qi was asking a question, so he quickly said:
To be continued...
