"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border!"
"The Queen of the Savage Prairie Country has replied to a letter from His Majesty."
"What?"
Liang Jing became a little excited for a moment. Could it be that the queen of the grassland decided to send troops to help them? That would be great!
If they could really send troops to help, then they would definitely be able to defeat the Miao Kingdom in the end!
Even if the military forces of the three countries were combined, they would still not be able to defeat the Miao Kingdom led by the high priest Luo Feng.
Then they are really useless. This proves that the Miao Kingdom already has the strength to compete for the world. Why should they submit to the Han Empire?
In addition, the grassland people were very brave in battle, and their cavalry was invincible. If it weren't for Lu Yun, the grassland people would probably have conquered the Great Zhou under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
Liang Jing was overjoyed and quickly opened the letter. However, when he saw the content, his face turned a little ugly. Seeing this, Prime Minister Wang quickly took a look at the content and suddenly realized it.
No wonder His Majesty's expression suddenly turned ugly. It turned out that the letter said that their grassland was willing to help Dazhou and Shu Kingdom to jointly resist the Miao Kingdom and defeat them completely.
But there is only one reason for doing this, and that is to avenge Lu Yun. If they have to fight against the Han Empire next, they will not choose to help, because it is just a drop in the bucket, and in the end the Han Empire will still destroy their two countries.
The Queen of the Prairie also mentioned above that she advised them not to continue to resist stubbornly, but to face reality.
The Han Empire has now become extremely powerful, and they are very determined to destroy all the vassal states.
Therefore, the Great Zhou now has only one way to go, that is, to follow them and the Miao Kingdom back to the grassland. Once they enter the grassland, the people of the Han Empire will not be so idle.
They have already entered the grassland. It is very difficult for them to find such a wild land, let alone attack it.
The only price they would pay is that their Great Zhou would choose to perish!
The Great Zhou will definitely be destroyed, and the people will definitely not be able to be taken away. Only their ministers and some important generals can be taken away.
Apart from that, no one can take anything away. Of course, the people of the Han Empire would not be so cruel as to attack civilians, not to mention that these are all the people of the Han Empire!
Unless, the Han Emperor has reached a point where the situation is so horrific that he wants to kill all the people.
"This..." After reading the contents of the letter, Prime Minister Wang sighed and explained helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the grassland queen is right. She is willing to help us because of Eunuch Lu."
"Even if we go to the grasslands, they won't attack us and are willing to accept us. This is already very good. Nowadays, except for the grassland barbarians, no vassal state is willing to accept us. This is the reality."
"They are right. The Han Empire is now determined to destroy the vassal states. We are unable to resist at all. Therefore, we have no choice but to surrender."
Liang Jing felt very annoyed when he heard this, but were they just going to abandon their Great Zhou like this?
When will there be a chance to take it back? I'm afraid there will never be a chance. Once they leave, they can only escape in disgrace.
"But Lord Xiangguo, do you think this is really a good idea?"
"If we abandon our city and our country and flee, we will be laughed at by our own people. What's more important is that we will flee without any resistance.
Although it sounds like conserving strength, in reality it is escaping without fighting. This is a failure and a display of lack of courage!"
Prime Minister Wang sighed. He had nothing else to say. "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. I think our Great Zhou should be more courageous."
"But this outcome is already the best we can hope for. If we resist for the first time, how long can we hold out? By then, the people will be destitute and their lives will not be good either."
"It's a foregone conclusion. We can't change it. We can only try our best to find another opportunity. I don't believe that the Han Empire won't have any problems after regaining control of the vassal states.
We can seize this crucial opportunity, take advantage of it, and slowly reclaim our territory step by step."
Liang Jing felt very annoyed when he heard his words. He could no longer hear a word clearly. He just felt that doing this was tantamount to deserting the battlefield and surrendering. What was the difference?
"Alright, alright, there's no need to argue with me about this now. We'll have plenty of opportunities later. Let's defeat the Miao Kingdom first, and we can talk about the future later.
Since the grasslands are willing to send troops to help us, let us first eliminate this hidden danger from the three southwestern kingdoms."
"I'll consider what he said at the end."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
A few days later, Qingshan City.
Since the Miao army retreated, Shangguan Yan finally felt a little relieved, but he was still very nervous, fearing that something unexpected would happen suddenly?
Fortunately, the Miao army seemed to be gathering strength after this siege, or they were also waiting for an opportunity.
And on this day, Shangguan Yunbie brought a lot of troops from the capital to this city.
As soon as he saw his father coming, Shangguan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his father, he was able to ease the tension in his heart a little.
He was still incapable of doing anything important, and was terrified to be facing an army of thousands of soldiers alone.
"father……"
"What does His Majesty say? Should we continue the attack? I mean, we should stop fighting. If we continue like this, our manpower will be severely damaged. How long can we hold out?"
When Shangguan Yun heard this, he became furious. He slapped Shangguan Yan's neck hard and said viciously.
"Is this all you think about all day? You just want to defeat them quickly so we can leave?"
"Can you be more ambitious? You are a general now. Do you still need me to teach you these things? If your brother-in-law knew about this, he would beat you to death when he came back."
"You said you've been following your brother-in-law for such a long time, leading troops in battles all the time. Can't you learn from your brother-in-law and improve your strength a little bit?"
"Look at how cowardly you are. If I were you, I would just crash into you and die."
"His Majesty said, continue the attack until the Miao Kingdom surrenders, drive this high priest back to their homeland, and take all of the Miao Kingdom's territory."
"Dad...did I hear correctly? Your Majesty, are you kidding me? How can we defeat him?"
"Why can't we defeat them? Can't a two-nation alliance defeat a single nation?"
"Besides, we have the help of the grassland, so this is not a problem."
