Chapter 2764: Envoys From the Western Regions, the Northern Barbarians Are Different

When these envoys came back, their faces were pale and they looked like nobody’s business.

Because they saw two things. First, the Qin army was having a military exercise. The military appearance, the equipment, and especially the earth-shaking red cannon almost blew their souls away.

Then the second thing made them lose their souls. Gao Qi’s entire central army camp was covered with skulls. There was no end in sight. Marshal Gao told them lightly that these were the enemies he had killed, a total of 400,000. He planned to collect a million to cover the ground of the three army camps. Now he was still short of 600,000, really short of 600,000...

Emissary Wu Zi left overnight without saying goodbye that day, and never saw the empress from beginning to end.

Jiang Fan laughed when he heard this. Li Xiu and Gao Qi, the literary and military cooperation was really tacit.

However, after returning from Guigu this time and learning about the possibility of the four regions attacking Qin, he had a deeper view of Wu Zi’s visit this time, and felt that it was very likely to be for the purpose of wading through water and exploring the way.

But he was not worried about going to war because of the three small countries. It was almost impossible for the Uzbek army to cross the vast Gobi Desert. It would take at least ten years to prepare to open up the small countries along the way and study how to supply them. Maybe these three small countries were just an excuse for Uzbek to visit Qin.

But for Qin, these three small countries are best taken because of their special geographical location. They control two mountain passes. Once occupied, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can completely block the western border. And the third one, which is farther west, will become an outpost.

After the imperial court coup, the empress quickly cleared all unstable factors to prepare for the future. The Qin army should not have any worries when going east, north, south, or north. In fact, before the empress realized the crisis in the Western Regions, she did not pay too much attention to it. It was just that Duke Dingguo was naturally warlike and took this opportunity to sweep the southwestern border. Now it seems that it has been a blessing in disguise.

As for the situation of the other envoys of the Uz Empire, it is unknown. They were responsible for visiting Taiyue, and no news was heard during the whole process. This made the empress feel unusual. Logically, when a foreign country visited the holy land, Taiyue should have publicly disclosed the content of the talks. However, Taiyue's operation this time was contrary to common sense. He kept the whole talk secret and even quietly sent the Holy Mountain Guard to escort the envoy back.

Talking about the Western Regions, we have to talk about the Northern Frontier. This time, the sudden action of the Zuo Xian King made Jiang Fan very alert, after all, the Golden Horde had just convened a meeting of the four kings. What made him most uneasy was that no news came from Dulun, his eight barbarian subordinates, or Zeng Xi, and even Xinyue did not get any news.

The empress believed that something must have happened in the Northern Frontier, which might also be related to the arrival of the gods in the five major regions. However, there is another possibility. The Golden Horde Court has the ambition to move south again. However, judging from the current situation, the empress feels that it is not appropriate. Even if the Barbarian King is foolish, the God of War Batulu is not a fool. Now that the Great Zhou has not erupted in the Five Kingdoms Rebellion, the military strength is sufficient. Going south will definitely be a self-inflicted disaster.

Therefore, she thinks there is a third possibility, which is an internal matter. Judging from the fact that the Crescent Moon Tribe was not invited to attend the meeting this time, it is not ruled out that the Crescent Moon Tribe may be attacked. The big wolf lord will never keep the huge fat meat of the Chile Ranch for a long time without wanting to eat it.

She has already informed Xinyue and Montaigne of this matter, asking them to find a way to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Jiang Fan feels that if this is the case, he can use the little jackal Hekuotai. During this period when he urgently needs to consolidate his power, Jiang Fan has a handle in his hand. If he can further form a deep alliance with the Crescent Moon Tribe, it should be able to cause great constraints on the Golden Horde Court for quite a period of time.

The empress agrees with this and especially appreciates this decapitation operation. The instability in the northern border will give Daqin more time to pacify the five countries.

The current situation of the six countries is still within the prediction of the empress. She is not surprised by the open support of the Holy Land for the Xia Kingdom and the practice of all parties seeking alliances. She even started to promote certain events and responded to certain anomalies at the same time. She told Jiang Fan not to worry, everything is under control.

The next step can be carried out, but Jiang Fan has a biggest worry, that is, if he and the empress are in trouble at the same time, will Taiyue seize the opportunity to start the four countries to attack Qin. The empress is not worried at all. She believes that first of all, the pattern has been disrupted. Chu and Xia are hostile, Jinnan is independent, the brother-in-law has established a country, Feng Chen is heartbroken, and the King of Jin is allied with Qin, forming a chaotic situation of mutual restraint. As long as the operation is proper, the Holy Land can only promote Xia to pacify the countries first, and there is no way to directly attack Daqin.

Secondly, the Qin Dynasty still has Gao Qi, Shangzhuguo Meng Ao, Li Xiu, and a million strong army. In addition, the work of clearing the fields has been done. When the countries have been calculated by the couple to this extent and it is impossible to form an alliance, no one dares to attack the powerful Qin alone. The best way for the Xia Kingdom is still to deal with the other three countries first.

Let's take a step back. If Taiyue really has the ability of ghosts and gods to unite the princes, then there is no need to be polite. The empress will directly adopt a backup strategy, clamping the Southern Chu with the Dian Kingdom and Jinnan, and the Wei Kingdom with Yuzhou and Zhenbei King. At the same time, she will immediately raise troops to unite with the Jin Kingdom to attack the old woman Xia. At this time, the second step of the grand strategy, vertical and horizontal, will end directly and enter the third step of the hurricane stage.

In this case, the only problem is that the six countries are not chaotic enough, and the timing is still a little lacking, but sometimes it is like this. It is enough to prepare countermeasures for the changing world.

So she and Jiang Fan will not leave immediately. When they see the situation enter the expected state, they will really disappear.

"Feng Chen is almost done. I saw him before I went to Guigu. He should have finished his work now."

The empress nodded: "Chen country, Chen emperor. The little bird of the Feng family has grown up."

"I heard from Zhao Gao that he has indeed established a country. This is like Feng Chen, and this is what we need."

The empress smiled slightly: "If Feng Chen does not establish a country, he will not be able to create a huge sense of crisis for Taiyue, and it will be difficult for Taiyue to give up the idea of ​​uniting the countries to attack Qin. In this regard, he is as important as Wuming."

Jiang Fan deeply agreed. Feng Chen hurt Taiyue's heart, and his brother-in-law hindered Nanchu. This was the key to the four countries not being able to unite, and it was also the key to stabilizing the fence-sitter ally Sima Ji. If these three countries cannot unite, the so-called world attacking Qin is just empty talk.

"What makes me very happy is that Feng Chen not only established a country, but also fulfilled his previous promise, which screwed the old man who died." Jiang Fan was a little excited when he mentioned this matter.

Not long ago, news came that Yousi was finally framed by Huangquan Sect and was led to Guanyue Peak Hall, where he was trapped alive by the mummy. I don’t know what was activated, but it almost turned Yousi into a dried corpse. It was not easy to escape. However, most of his blood and energy were drained. It would take at least one or two years for him to recover.
