Chapter 1494 Setbacks
Master Liu must have never imagined that in a short time, half of the Dongyi court would also belong to the Great Zhou. Even if ten Dongyi kingdoms and Tianfeng kingdoms united, it would be useless.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Okay, I know about this! You can rest at ease to heal your injuries..."
"Okay!" Liu Rushi finally felt relieved, "Your Majesty knows it well, so I can rest assured!"
"Your Majesty..." Shen Liangyu came in from the door and cupped hands with Bai Qingyan, "The Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom has arrived, and Cheng Yuanzhi has sent someone back to report, and now he has also sent someone to report to the Seventh Prince and Empress of Dongyi."
Bai Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand: "What is supposed to come... will always come! Then I will meet the Regent of Yan Kingdom, the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom and the courtiers first, and send someone to say... the enthroned Has life come to an agreement on why?"
Shen Liangyu said: "I heard that they are still negotiating. It is said that after the queen bandaged the wound, she has calmed down. It is up to the people of Qin Tianjian to do the divination."
"If you're going to see the Ninth Prince of Yan, I'll accompany Your Majesty!" Liu Rushi got up and bowed to Bai Qing, "The people of Yan are cunning and have to guard against them. When they see us sending troops from the Great Zhou this time, they think it's coming. share!"
"Lord Liu just rest, no problem! It's not about peace talks with our Great Zhou." Bai Qingyan waved his hand to signal Liu Rushi to sit down, "Now our Great Zhou has taken over the city defense of the capital of Dongyi, as well as the Dongyi Palace. There is no city defense, and there is a large army stationed outside the city, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Bai Qingyan asked Liu Rushi to take a good rest, but did not ask him to get up and see him off.
As soon as he came out of Liu Rushi's room, Shen Liangyu immediately said to Bai Qing: "Xiao Baishuai, Xiao Ruojiang is back!"
"Only Xiao Ruojiang?" Bai Qingyan was a little surprised.
"Exactly! I'm waiting outside, saying I have something important to report!" Shen Liangyu responded.
"Go and have a look!" When Bai Qingyan took Bai Jinzhi outside, he saw Xiao Ruojiang holding a meatloaf in one hand and drinking hot soup in the other, looking as if he was very hungry.
Hearing the sound of Bai Qingyan's armor as he walked, he hurriedly put aside the meat pie and hot soup in his hands, got up and wiped his mouth with his sleeve without regard to etiquette, swallowed the unchewed meat pie, and went forward to salute : "Big girl!"
"Brother, don't be too polite!" Bai Qingyan helped Xiao Ruojiang, and asked, "What's the hurry, brother?"
"My elder brother and I originally wanted to find out the defenses of the cities around the capital of Dongyi for Dazhou in the shortest possible time, and draw a detailed map to prevent accidents, but we didn't expect... to find out where the Yan army is stationed "Xiao Ruojiang straightened up and looked at Bai Qingyan, "The Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom probably brought less than 8,000 troops, and 5,000 people were nestled firmly in the mountain nest beside the Emerald River. He only brought less than 8,000 troops. Three thousand people came to the capital of Dongyi, and they set up camp outside the capital of Dongyi. Elder brother had already watched them by the Emerald River. He was worried that Yan State had other plans. Elder brother thought... we should lead our troops to take the five Thousands of horses are in control, so the 3,000 horses outside the city are nothing to fear."
Xiao Rong is cautious by nature, and it is reasonable to keep back hands, but she did not expect that her two breast brothers would bump into her by mistake.
Bai Qingyan glanced at Xiao Ruojiang and said: "Brother, please use some soup cakes first, I'll send someone to inform Ah Jue to send someone to the Emerald River to cut off the way for their Yan army to respond."
"Let me lead the troops!" Xiao Ruojiang bowed to Bai Qing in a calm voice, "I know the way!"
Bai Qingyan pursed her lips: "You rest with soup and cakes first, I'll let Ah Jue order troops, and you will take them away in person later! The Regent of Yan Kingdom has just arrived at the west gate of the capital of Dongyi Kingdom, so there is no hurry..."
"Yes!" Xiao Ruojiang responded.

Xiao Rongyan rode on a steed, looked at Cheng Yuanzhi who was standing in front of the gate of the capital of Dongyi, and stopped him, looked up at the tower, and said with a smile: "General Cheng, what is Dazhou?" Taking over the city defense of Dongyi's capital? This... doesn't seem like someone here to help Dongyi."
Cheng Yuanzhi respected the friendship of the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom who had abandoned Yunjing and rushed to help his little Bai Shuai, and he was quite respectful to Xiao Rongyan, but he was not convinced that Yan Kingdom came to take advantage of him.
Cheng Yuanzhi just smiled and bowed his hands to Xiao Rongyan, and said: "Our Majesty originally planned to destroy the Dongyi Kingdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but later the Queen sent the Seventh Prince of the Dongyi Kingdom to our Great Zhou Dynasty and said that he was willing to give us a gift from the Great Zhou Dynasty." Claiming to be a minister, and paying for this and that, the amount of tribute paid is ten times what was given to Daliang before. We have a large land and a lot of people, and we don’t bother to care about this small land, so we agreed! But our Emperor of Great Zhou entered the city , it’s safe to be controlled by ourselves, isn’t it!”
Xiao Rongyan held the reins, looked at Cheng Yuanzhi and asked with a smile: "Then... can this king go in?"
"Yan Kingdom and our Great Zhou are allies, so we can naturally enter! It's just that this is the chassis of Dongyi Kingdom. The regent will be later... I have sent someone to report the news!" Cheng Yuanzhi said with a smile. .
The smile under Xiao Rongyan's mask faded away. The reason why Da Zhou asked Cheng Yuanzhi to lead troops to take over the city defense was not only because Bai Qingyan was in the capital of Dongyi Kingdom, but also to guard against Yan Kingdom!
He knew without thinking that even if the Yan people were able to enter the city, they would only let him bring guards into the capital of Dongyi under the full control of Da Zhou.
In this world, whoever has the hardest fist and whoever has the biggest fist has the final say, it's all a matter of course.
But it doesn't matter, since Da Zhou is not going to destroy Dongyi now, but is going to push a puppet emperor to the throne, their country Yan signed a covenant of peaceful coexistence with Dongyi country, and it's just about the benefits.
only……
The corners of Xiao Rongyan's lips curled up slightly. According to Ah Bao's temperament, Ah Li caused trouble for Da Zhou. Since she made a move... she would definitely retaliate with an eye for an eye, and return the color to the Yan State. Supporting the puppet emperor must also deal with the Yan State Yes, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to sign this covenant.
The Queen of Dongyi Kingdom was the breakthrough point for their Yan Kingdom. She used the envoys of Da Zhou to save her son, but caused Da Zhou to damage King Hancheng and so many sailors and soldiers. It can be seen that she has deep scheming.
"Okay, then the king will wait, and when he has a letter, I would like to trouble General Cheng to send someone to inform." After finishing speaking, Xiao Rongyan turned his horse's head and headed towards his own barracks.
Xiao Rongyan had just dismounted when he returned to the barracks, and his talents came out of the city with great difficulty, and told Xiao Rongyan exactly what happened today that the Queen of Dongyi Kingdom personally brought all the officials to meet the Emperor of Zhou outside the capital of Dongyi Kingdom.
In the big tent, Xiao Yan knelt and sat in front of the table, looking at the three-legged auspicious beast incense burner on the red sandalwood table with light smoke curling up, with a slight smile on his lips...
