The Han Empire, Weiyang Palace in Chang'an.
The Han Emperor sat high on the dragon throne. In the quiet palace, a eunuch broke the peace. He walked in slowly with a sly smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, good news has arrived from the front."
"Zhao and Yan were fighting each other, and our army took advantage of the situation and captured more than 30 cities in Zhao."
"It won't be long before we destroy the State of Zhao!"
"Although Yan State is located in a remote area, its strength is not strong to begin with."
"It turns out that they are all brave and skilled warriors, but the troops of our Han Empire are even more powerful."
"After we destroy the State of Yan, nearly half of the State of Zhonghe will be destroyed. Then our Han Empire will be weakened, and China's pace will become even faster."
The Han Emperor had a faint smile on his face and explained, "Very good, very good!"
"They are so stupid! Instead of uniting at this time, they are fighting here just to grab some trivial things. I really misjudged them!"
"I thought they could be smarter. They're already at the brink of national destruction, yet they're still fighting among themselves. Do they really think they can ignore the troops of the Han Empire?"
The eunuch then explained, "Your Majesty, the high priest of the three southwestern kingdoms has already killed the Miao King as promised and according to our request. He has also taken over the military power and is now attacking the alliance of the two countries with all his strength!"
"That Lu Yun is not here now. No, Qin Yun, he is not here!"
"Then the alliance between Shu and Zhou is nothing but a joke. The High Priest will surely be able to defeat them with the Liao army."
"That's great! As long as the armies between the two countries become weaker and weaker, we can easily resolve them. The three southwestern countries will then completely destroy all the central and later countries, and the power will be solely in the hands of our Han Empire."
"Oh, this matter of the vassal states has always been a big worry for me. It's bad. These people control so much power. What if one day it affects the war?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this anymore."
“…”
Shu Kingdom, Qingshan City.
The armies of both sides fought together, and the Miao army was unstoppable. Their strength was already strong, and this time they still had the high priest to boost morale, so naturally they were not weak.
Could it be the alliance between the two countries, their army? Although they were numerous, they were still no match for the Miao Kingdom. For some unknown reason, they were retreating step by step. Seeing them all trying to escape, Shangguan Yun felt very upset.
He looked at his son and angrily scolded Shangguan Yan, “This is how you usually teach your soldiers. The battle isn’t over yet, the war isn’t over yet!
They all looked panicked and about to run away. How could it be that they really couldn't win?"
Shangguan Yan lowered her head in embarrassment, "Our soldiers thought that the combined armies of our two countries would be very powerful, but we didn't expect them to be so weak!
The Miao people are pushing us back step by step."
"What's more, the cavalry on the grasslands that should be good at fighting haven't arrived yet. We are all very worried. What if they don't come?"
"To be honest, General, our combat effectiveness has plummeted without Mu Gungun. This is obvious and everyone knows it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept bullying us, but there's really no solution."
Just when their morale was low and it looked like they were about to lose the battle, suddenly a voice came from afar, and they could also see thousands of troops approaching.
They were like a black mass, attacking the Miao army directly from the flank.
Seeing that the Miao Kingdom was attacked by a group of surprise troops, and their clothing was like that of the Huns on the grassland, it proved that their reinforcements had arrived.
At this moment, the soldiers here became extremely excited.
"Hahaha, my men, our reinforcements have arrived. They are the grassland cavalry. Once the grassland cavalry arrives, it proves that we are not far from victory. Today we will let the Miao Kingdom know how powerful we are."
"Charge! Kill!"
Miao camp.
Originally, Luo Feng had a very calm and confident look on his face. In his opinion, the troops under his command were so powerful that there would be absolutely no problem.
And he was able to judge from what had just happened on the battlefield that it would not take long for him to completely capture the city. The reason was simple.
That is, the coalition between the two countries has become disintegrated and their morale is getting lower and lower.
They no longer have the idea of moving forward, but only want to keep retreating, which proves that they have already lost.
But unexpectedly, a cavalry came from the flank and quickly broke through their camp, causing their army to immediately fall apart.
"What's going on!"
Luo Feng was completely panicked. Suddenly, a group of cavalry appeared and surrounded them from the flank, which had a huge impact on their camp.
"High Priest, this group of cavalrymen are wearing grassland clothing. They must be barbarian cavalrymen from the grasslands. Their cavalrymen are very powerful and brave..."
"What should I do?"
After hearing these words, the high priest was completely stunned and confused about the situation!
“That shouldn’t be the case!”
"Why are the people from the grassland coming here? Why are they trying to fight against our Miao army? Are the three kingdoms joining forces to attack us?"
Luo Feng was speechless at this moment. He just felt that this group of people were too shameless. If they couldn't win, they would call for reinforcements. If one country couldn't win, the two countries would unite. If the two vassal states couldn't do it, they would call for cavalry from the grassland.
"I'm so angry!"
"It's shameless to help others. If they can't defeat us, they will call for reinforcements. I thought they had no reinforcements, but I didn't expect they could still use the grassland."
The high priest suddenly realized at this moment that the Miao King had said that the queen on the grassland had a very close relationship with their Great Zhou.
They would definitely send troops to help at that time, but I didn’t expect it to be true.
He had not taken it seriously before, thinking that King Miao was just too timid and didn't dare to attack, so he gave such a reason.
When this incident became true, he felt that he was the most ridiculous one.
"Didn't they say it was all because of that guy named Lu?"
"Why, even though he's gone, you still choose to help Da Zhou? What's the relationship?"
"High Priest, the enemy is coming with such force. We didn't expect cavalry to arrive. I think we should retreat."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand the combined forces of the three nations. Only by retreating can we have a chance of survival."
