Chapter 44: A young couple in troubled times(1/3)
Time flies.
Five years have passed by in a blink of an eye.
In the past five years, the entire Anping continent has undergone tremendous changes. It is not an exaggeration to say that the dragon and the snake have risen from the land, and the world has been turned upside down.
First of all, the demon tide ravaged the Zichen Mountain five years ago, which directly caused the Great Yan to collapse and lose its strength. The national power suddenly retreated to the end of the Seven Kingdoms, and the government could not
Baoxi almost exists in name only.
If it weren't for Qin's grand strategic considerations, it would be easy to destroy Yan instantly.
Even so, the Yan Kingdom's thousands of miles of frontiers have almost completely turned into Da Qin's racecourse, and its destruction seems to be only a matter of time.
On the verge of national subjugation, all the nobles of the Yan Kingdom finally showed an unprecedented state of unity, abandoning all past grievances and working together for the rise and fall of the country.
It's a pity that they woke up too late, and Dayan was already too weak to recover!
The root cause is still the battle at Zichen Mountain, in which all high-level military and ANBU masters were lost in this battle.
There are no generals to defend the country inside and no soldiers to use outside.
No matter how hard we try to give up internal friction and work together, it will be in vain.
The third prince, Shu Mo, roared in grief and anger in the court hall.
"Everyone is united, so what?"
"When the Yan Kingdom was prosperous, you fought for power and profit, fought against each other, continued internal strife, and the national power was declining. Now that the country is about to be destroyed, what's the point of working hard to govern it? What's the use of trying to repair the sheepfold when all the sheep are gone?"
"Who can show the loyalty of the country's loyal ministers and filial piety? What can it do to help?"
"What were you doing so early?"
"You have to wait until the country is about to perish before you even think about protecting the country? In the final analysis, it's just a matter of fear that your skin will disappear and your hair will be gone."
All the ministers of the Yan State were filled with shame.
Nowadays, Dayan is truly at the end of its rope. It really can't even maintain its success and settle down in a corner.
After Bai Yiwen was poisoned and seriously injured, he has been recuperating at home. Now that the country is in crisis, even though he is unable to do anything, he still chooses to step forward and establish a Yiwentang to support the situation. With the support of Miao Sensen, he tries his best to win over the original Da Yanfei.
Wing old department.
But unfortunately... almost all the senior officials of Feiyi were killed in the battle of Zichen Mountain, and not a single one of them survived.
This also leads to an extremely sad fact: among all the flying wing masters who have survived and come back, let alone cloud masters, there are only a few who are even at the heaven level!
The two people with the highest cultivation level in Yiwentang are only at the second level of heaven level!
I really want to do something but can't do anything.
Bai Yiwen was also decisive. After passing the order and sticking to it, he also suggested developing a diplomatic strategy. Based on the principle of argument, he would lobby and mobilize all countries.
Under Bai Yiwen's persuasion, he took the position of younger brother, and at the same time, he was closely related to Chu, Qi, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance and worked together.
As a result of doing this, they successfully borrowed soldiers from Qi and Zhao to protect the Yan border. Although they had to pay for renting a large amount of city land and even people, wealth, and even if they drank poison to quench their thirst, they still had to ensure that the Yan state could survive.
Facts have proved that Yan's strategy of "preferring to its friends rather than violence against Qin" was quite effective, and it really stabilized the situation in Yan.
After the overall situation of the Yan State gradually stabilized, it contacted Zhao and Han again and presented a letter of alliance, stating that as long as the other party was willing to jointly conquer Qin, after the success, we, the Yan State, would not take a penny from the land of Qin, but would instead give three pieces of Yan State's border land.
Thousands of miles.
All of this shows that Yan is trying hard to survive at all costs.
The above are all the consensus reached by Bai Yiwen and Wen Wenmo after discussion.
These two people, who had always disliked each other, finally began to cooperate sincerely at the critical moment of the country's survival.
Both of them knew clearly: Yan State's national power seems to be the weakest now. Any country such as Qin and Chu can easily destroy Yan State, but Qin State will never sit back and watch Yan State's destruction. Not only will he himself not take action to avoid causing public anger.
At the same time, it will also prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to annex Yan State.
Therefore, Yan's weakness has become a protective color.
But in order to win over the weak, he traveled around the countries and pursued the family tradition.
Survival is by no means a long-term solution.
Once other countries are weakened, the Yan State will inevitably become the first target of the Qin State and be destroyed overnight.
For the present, or the only way for Yan State to achieve self-protection at present, is to completely trigger chaos in the world during this period of time.
And this is clear to all countries.
I believe that all other countries are also aware of one thing: Yan State cannot be destroyed! - It’s not that it cannot be destroyed, it must not be destroyed by surrender!
It doesn't matter if the Yan State is defeated and subjugated. However, if the other countries do not cooperate, if the Yan State cannot see any hope and really makes up its mind to surrender to the Qin State...
That's what's really bad.
Therefore, even though they clearly know that Yan's actions are to prevent the world from being chaotic, and even to stir up troubles, the other countries can only cooperate first. Under the premise of this grand strategy, the countries are actually still benefiting, so why bother?
Rather than.
——What I said above is all a conspiracy.
As a result, the world suddenly fell into chaos.
Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, and Wei all moved together, and their troops were directed towards Qin.
In the same year, Wu Tiejun, Fei Xinyu, and Ma Qiange divided their troops into three groups to fight against Da Qi, and the war broke out.
And just when Qi gradually couldn't resist and was retreating steadily, Zhao sent troops.
The cavalry of the Great Zhao Dynasty faced off against the military god of the Fei family of the Great Qin Dynasty.
In this battle, the two invincible commanders of Zhao State, Lian Mu and Li Po, attacked hand in hand. One was steady and the other was cunning, and they suppressed Qin's main army.
Even as time continued, under attack from both sides, the Fei Department gradually became unable to resist.
Fortunately, Ma arrived at Chengxingye and rushed to the rescue, leading an army to confront Lian Mu, and Fei's troops were relieved.
As Chu, South Korea, and Wei sent troops, war broke out on the Qin border areas, and wars broke out in all directions.
As soon as the war broke out among the various countries, the whole world fell into chaos in an instant.
The turning point of this chaotic war was when Wu Tiejun led a large army and miraculously appeared on the front line of Chu State.
Wu Tiejun's army rushed to the rescue. The moment it appeared, it rushed into the Chu army's formation from the side like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
The moment the two sides were about to come into contact, the ferocious beast roared suddenly.
Following this roar, the cavalrymen in the front of Chu State all panicked when they heard it, and their formations instantly fell into chaos.
With the emergence of this variation, from point to line, from line to surface, the Chu army was completely defeated.
Wu Tie's army, on the other hand, clung to Chu's defeated troops, pursued them one after another, and took advantage of the momentum to break through the sky in one fell swoop!
This officially declares that Chu's strongest line of defense has been broken and no longer exists!
From then on, Chu State no longer had any natural barriers, and all the fertile land behind the sky was under the iron heel of the Qin army!
...
The state of Yan was in decline, and its intentions were weak.
Qi was also crippled.
The border gates of Chu State were also opened.
South Korea, which was geographically relatively remote, was beyond the reach of the Qin State and remained in confrontation.
Also in a state of confrontation are Wei and Zhao.
However, the world situation has quietly changed.
In the second year, Ma Qiange led his army out of the northwest and defeated the Korean army on the side of Hanshui.
In the same year, Fei Xinyu concentrated on fighting against the enemy's Integrity and Animal Husbandry Department, and was able to use his sharp tongue. After a scolding battle, the angry old general's old injury relapsed, and his military morale was shaken.
The top leaders of Zhao State had no choice but to send a new general Zhao Yikuo to take over the command.
It is said that Zhao Yikuo is a new generation general of the Zhao State. He is said to be a rare military master in the Zhao State in thirty years. He is also the author of the book "The Theory of Soldiers". It is widely said that he uses troops like a god and is the future leader of the Zhao State.
The choice of soldiers to succeed the veteran general Lian Mu at this time is logical. If he can unite his troops to defeat the Qin Lion at this moment, it will rewrite the ranking of military strategists in Anping Continent.
It's a pity that this Zhao family has too high self-esteem and no one to spare. He only knows himself but not others. He is blindly confident and thinks that his military skills are unparalleled. However, three generals of the Qin army set up a series of traps.
Fei Xinyu led the elite and implemented penetration tactics, which caused the war situation to take a turn for the worse.
Yes.
The Qin Dynasty's 15,000 elite troops penetrated the Chu army, but only three thousand survived in the end, which is not a tragedy.
But this extreme tactic became the key point and turning point to break up the stalemate.
Ma Daogong, Fei Pingjiang then joined forces to attack, and finally Ma Daogong, who had been ignored for a long time, broke through in the middle.
Zhao Yikuo, who was besieged from all sides, could no longer hold on, and his 400,000-strong army was completely defeated.
Zhao's other army, Li Po, naturally planned to come to the rescue, reverse the situation of the battle, and at least gather the defeated army, but Wu Tiejun relied on the terrain to restrain him and did not dare to make rash moves.
By the time Li Po broke through Wu Tiejun's blockade, marched around the mountain, and finally arrived at the battlefield, the forty-strong army had been nearly wiped out.
To be continued...
