Text Chapter 583: Live up to Its Reputation
At dusk of the next day, the setting sun sprinkled the last smear of golden light on the pillars of the main hall of Bailing City, and there were streaks of golden refracted rays of light. Sitting on the throne in a golden dragon robe, Qin Yi raised the banner of "all beings are equal and people are benevolent" during the uprising in the Yihe Kingdom. thirsty.
"Dadu Tong, the imperial emissary." A courtier said loudly.
"Empire envoy?"
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Come in."
"yes!"
Not long after, a woman walked in, and she was Qin Yin's personal servant, Shangguan Jingyue! Shangguan Jingyue walked forward with a graceful figure and lotus steps, and after giving Qin Yi an imperial lady's salute, she said: "Qin Yi Dadu, this is a letter written by our empress, a letter to your family. "
"Present it." Qin Yi said without squinting.
The courtier presented Qin Yin's letter to the front, Qin Yi unfolded the letter, and what came into view was a line of elegant handwriting. Qin Yin's calligraphy was passed down from Qin Jin, which can be called a masterpiece of the empire, but Qin Yi hated it. Line after line of exquisite handwriting, until he saw these words in his eyes, he finally calmed down a little
"Uncle, Yours sincerely, Qin Yin. Now the demons are making a comeback and sweeping Cangnan with an army of 500,000. The Demon Emperor, led by Qian Feng and Lei Chong, is determined to win the land of Middle Earth. Before the suspicion, send troops to Jiange, together with the imperial soldiers to destroy the army of demons, Qin Yin."
"Hahahaha..." Qin Yi couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at Shangguan Jingyue with a chill in his eyes, and said, "Your empress has Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, and Xiang Yu, all famous generals in the world, who can exorcise demons with a single effort." family, why do we need the help of Yihe Kingdom?"
Shangguan Jingyue said respectfully: "Dadutong, the demon clan is powerful, and it cannot be resisted by a single country. Your Majesty the Empress said that as long as Dadutong is willing to send troops to the Jiange to help the empire, and once the demon clan retreats, your majesty is willing to send Lingdong to the province. Tongtian Province was ceded to Yihe Kingdom."
"Does this little girl, Qin Yin, think I'm stupid?"
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "These two provinces are the meat of the demons' mouths, and no one can eat them. Instead of giving such insincere conditions, why not... replace the conditions of the covenant?"
"Oh? What does Dadu want?"
Qin Yi said: "If you want Yihe to send troops, you can, but Yihe's military strength is also very limited, and there is a shortage of soldiers. How about this... Yihe sent 200,000 troops, and the empire must give me one billion gold coins, plus How about the four counties in the south of Cangnan Province? If the little girl Qin Yin is willing to agree, you can sign the letter of credence, and someone will come and write the letter of credence."
"yes!"
The so-called letter of credence is a letter of negotiation between countries. Once signed, it cannot be violated, otherwise it will violate the credibility of the country.
Shangguan Jingyue stood there quietly, like a fairy.
Not long after, a courtier came to Shangguan Jingyue with two volumes of credentials, and said with a smile, "My lord envoy, sign it. As long as you sign it, Dadutong will definitely send troops."
Shangguan Jingyue looked up at Qin Yi, and said: "The Empire and the Yihe Kingdom are bitter, and I hope that most of them will take care of the overall situation and fulfill their promises, and don't fail Her Majesty the Empress."
"Do not worry!"
So, Shangguan Jingyue signed the letter, and Qin Yi also swiped a pen, and collected one of the credentials into the treasury, and the other handed over to Shangguan Jingyue, saying: "Go back and tell Qin Yin, just say I will immediately send the Feather Book to Marshal Ji Yao, and he will naturally take the camera."
"Yes, the little girl is leaving."
Shangguan Jingyue slowly exited the hall, and when she came outside, several imperial attendants stepped forward and said, "My lord, has King Zhennan agreed to send troops?"
"No."
Shangguan Jingyue smiled faintly: "It's a good camera... Let's go, Your Highness is still waiting for our news."
"yes!"
...
"Camera move?"
In the military tent of the Longdan camp, Qin Yin couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid my uncle will never tell the truth to anyone, right? To put it nicely, it's because of the camera, but to put it badly... I'm afraid he We simply don’t want us to have any chance of winning in the battle with the demons, and wanting the empire to give them one billion gold Yin coins is simply whimsical.”
On the side, Lin Muyu said: "The demons are getting more and more troops in the Canglin Valley, and the battle will definitely start within three days. I don't know how the front, center, left, and right troops are preparing?"
Qin Yin looked up.
A group of generals were all in awe, and Xiang Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness Qizuo, the 150,000 soldiers of the former army are ready to fight. We dug a trap nearly three miles away. As long as the demons come over, we can use the trap to kill 20,000 armored demons along the way." , and we have already prepared black beech oil, arrow boxes, etc., this time the preparations are sufficient, even if the demon army invades us, we have a good chance of winning."
Luo Xin has been appointed as the commander of the Iron Blade Army by Su Muyun, and he clasped his fists together and said: "The Iron Blade Army has 100,000 elite soldiers guarding the central army, please rest assured, Your Highness!"
Afterwards, Su Long also said that he was ready to stop.
Zeng Yifan, on the other hand, drank his tea leisurely, with a slight smile on his old face, and said: "There are thousands of Yiren hovering above the imperial army, and our every move may be under the eyes and ears of the Yiren." , since we have made so many preparations, Qianfeng is not a fool, he will not take the initiative to enter our trap, I think... General Xiang Yu should prepare for field battles in advance and choose the battlefield for the battle Set up an army formation, so that there is still a little chance of winning."
Xiang Yu nodded: "Yes, thank God for your instruction, I will."
Everyone was silent for a while, and Lin Muyu asked, "Has there been any news from Xiaoxi, where are the troops of Qihai City, and how many troops are there?"
Shangguan Jingyue said: "In the afternoon, Princess Xi's feather book arrived, and the army of Seven Seas City was all out, a total of more than 300,000 people, but they refused to go to Cangnan Province to call, saying that unless they saw the handwriting of Seven Seas King Tang Lan, Otherwise, they have to be stationed at the Seventh Customs.”
"How dare they disobey His Highness' orders?"
Su Muyun stood up abruptly, and said in a dignified manner without being angry: "Are the people in Qihai City planning to rebel?"
Qin Yin smiled: "Grandpa, don't be angry, I believe they don't mean that, it's just... Tang Lu is in Qihai Customs, and holds the iron order of Tangmen, plus his special status, I'm afraid Qihai's army doesn't listen to Wang's order." As expected."
Lin Muyu said coldly: "Wait until the demons are finished, and then deal with them properly!"
On the side, Xiang Yu's face was a bit ugly, after all, he is the son-in-law of the Tang family.
Qin Yin asked again: "Is there any news from Commander Feng?"
"They have just arrived at Mosong Pass, and they are making arrangements for their garrison," Su Long said.
"Ah That's good."
...
The bright moon falls on the icy Qinling Mountains, and the cold wind blows past Mosong Pass. Although spring has begun, the night at Mosong Pass is not usually cold. The fortress can only accommodate 50,000 people at most, and the rest of the troops must be stationed outside the pass. Then, the Qinlong Army, the Forbidden Army and Tang Xi's army set up camp north of Mosong Pass, and banners flew for tens of miles.
When Mo Song closed the door, flakes of flying snow were still drifting, falling on the skin, it was indescribably icy cold.
Feng Jixing rubbed his palms lightly to keep warm, Su Yu on the side looked into the distance with a crude crystal binoculars, and saw lights lit up in the direction of Huoyue City, Long Qianlin's barracks stretched as far as the eye could see, they were too close to Mosong Pass So fast that the horse could reach the city of Mosong Pass in two hours.
"Our military strength is only a few hundred thousand."
Su Yu pursed her lips and said, "Long Qianlin and Ding Xi's combined strength is nearly half a million. If these two want to attack Mo Songguan, can we really stop them?"
Fighting flames surged around Feng Jixing's palm, to keep himself warm, he raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Long Qianlin and Ding Xi should also understand the truth of dead lips and cold teeth. Once the demons attack, Yihe Kingdom will not be able to stay out of it. They won't take the initiative to attack, even if they will, Mosong Pass is so strong, they won't be able to take it down for a while."
"Um."
Su Yu looked into the distance with a gloomy gaze: "That's the only way to go, I hope the battle at Xiaoyin's place will go smoothly."
"Don't worry, with Ah Yu there to help her, even if she can't win, she won't lose miserably."
At this moment, Tang Xi in crimson armor stepped up the stone steps to the top of the fortress, and said with a smile: "Commander Feng and Commander Su, the food, grass, and weapons have all been prepared, enough for us to stay here for more than two months."
"Okay, Commander Tang Xi has worked hard."
"It's okay, it's a matter of duty, Mr. Lan... Oh no, His Highness the King of the Seven Seas has already rested, the two of you should also rest earlier?"
"good."
Feng Jixing took another deep look at Huoyue City, which was half-shadowed in the night, and his brows gradually frowned. He wishfully thought that Ding Xi and Long Qianlin would not march, but...he had a premonition that Ding Xi, Long Qianlin Qianlin will never let go of such a great opportunity to regain the three passes of the Qinling Mountains!
...
"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."
A line of light cavalry galloped straight into Huoyue City under the moonlight, and the frontmost general wore three gold stars on his collar. He was Ding Xi, one of the Seven Marshals of the Yihe Kingdom.
"Marshal Ding Xi is here!" The guard shouted loudly.
On the city wall, a person fell down, and the nearly fifteen-meter-long city wall looked like a child's play to him. His feet floated to the ground without any damage. It was Long Qianlin who was inspecting the military situation outside the city. He stepped forward and smiled, "Marshal Ding Xi, why are you here late at night?"
Ding Xi's face was livid, and he said: "Shuai Long, the last general has brought a letter written by Da Dutong, which is for the two of us."
"Oh? Any news from Dadutong?"
"Order me to attack Mosong Pass on February 1st. I must recapture the three passes within 15 days, and then send troops to the Northern Expedition to capture the entire Earth and Star Province within ten days."
"What!?" Long Qianlin was astonished: "Did I hear correctly? When the demon army invaded, we actually want to start a war against the empire?"
Ding Xi clapped the letter paper in his hand and said, "Here is the letter from Dadutong, you can handle it yourself! February 1st is tomorrow, we don't have time. If we decide to fight tomorrow, we must send it tonight." The food, grass and ordnance have been mobilized."
Long Qianlin frowned and said: "We just got the military report that there are nearly 180,000 troops stationed at Mosong Pass, and Feng Jixing personally guards it. I'm afraid...it won't be so easy to win the three passes from Feng Jixing, right?"
Ding Xi smiled slightly, with a mocking smile.
"Ding Shuai, what do you mean? What are you laughing at..." Long Qianlin's heart pounded.
Ding Xi raised his hand and took a sip of the fine wine in the marching water bag, glanced at him and said, "Who are you, Long Qianlin? Is there anyone in Yihe who knows how to use soldiers better than you? No matter how powerful Feng Jixing is, he won't The technique of avatar can only guard one pass, the other two... I don’t need to remind you, do I?”
Long Qianlin also laughed: "Ding Shuai really deserves his reputation!"
