Chapter 606: Opportunity Not to Be Missed
Chen Qingqing was not 100% sure whether this war could be won.
Although the victory in the first battle caught them off guard, the four countries are not fools. Once they react, they will definitely not advance so recklessly.
With a little use of brain, you can easily break this thunder array.
Now I don't know where Chu Jiuqing is, and whether he can arrive in time...
When Chu Jiuqing learned that the northwest border had been breached by the four countries, he was extremely anxious and wanted to fly to Anyang immediately.
He ordered his soldiers to rush to Anyang day and night.
Along the way, Chu Jiuqing marched and handled state affairs at the same time.
The four countries jointly attacked Anyang at a time when their military strength was low, which was also a perfect opportunity to attack them.
Taking this opportunity, the four countries were incorporated into the territory of Daning and unification was completed.
Opportunity is fleeting.
He had already issued military orders to attack the four countries, and he didn't know what the situation on the border was now.
At this time, Wang Meng, the leader of the Imperial Guards, came forward to report, "Your Majesty, I have already sent pigeons to all the border generals as you requested, instructing them to attack the cities of the four kingdoms. General Cheng has sent a letter saying that two cities have been captured. Now that our morale in Daning is high, it is only a matter of time before we capture the four kingdoms."
Chu Jiuqing's eyes were red. "Alright, fight hard, beat them to the capital, capture their king alive, and block all news. Don't let the news reach Anyang."
Wang Meng's face was solemn. "I understand. I will never let any news reach the ears of Xiyue Lei, Nangong Jin, Gao Lizhu, and Barhu."
The Xiyue Kingdom actually united with the four countries to provoke a war. If he does not fight back now, how can he be worthy of the ministers who supported him and the expectations of his sister.
A rare smile appeared on Chu Jiuqing's tired face. Chen Qingqing was indeed his lucky star.
Since I met her, good things have happened one after another.
I have long wanted to unify the world, but I didn't expect the four countries to come to me.
If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to take them down, we'd be sorry for making such a fuss.
The army had been marching for three days without sleep. Many soldiers were exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and continued to march.
These soldiers and generals were all trained by Chu Jiuqing. They fought side by side on the battlefield, risking their lives.
Having watched Chu Jiuqing grow up step by step into the emperor he is today, I know that Chu Jiuqing is responsible for the lives of thousands of people in Daning and the safety of the country.
They must not let him down, so no one dared to slack off and tried their best to hurry on their way.
Chu Jiuqing watched the soldiers staggering and looking pale, some of them collapsed directly on the side of the road. He knew that if they continued like this, even if they reached Anyang, they would not be able to fight, and it would harm them instead.
He said to Zhuifeng beside him, "Pass the order down. Set up camp here, rest and recover your strength, and continue your journey tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuifeng took the order and left.
Although Chu Jiuqing was worried, he believed that Chen Qingqing would be able to hold on. After all, that girl had brought him too many surprises...
Outside Anyang City.
Xiyue Lei was terrified, afraid of being struck to death by thunder. He swung his arms and whipped the horsewhip with all his might.
The horses were hit and kicked, running towards the rear camp like a gust of wind.
Barhu and Nangong Jin, who were waiting for news in the military tent, heard loud noises coming from the front from time to time. They couldn't help but feel puzzled and came out one after another.
Barag looked up and saw that the sky was cloudless. "It's not cloudy, so why is there thunder?"
"Yeah, what's going on?" Nangong Jin was also full of questions.
At this moment, a scout arrived to report, "General Ba, the Xiyue army was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt, resulting in heavy casualties."
"What? We were struck by thunder?" Barhu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "What happened? Tell me quickly."
"I don't know exactly what happened, but I know that wherever the West Moon Army went, they were attacked by thunderous explosions. Anyone who was hit was either turned into pieces or had their arms and legs flying all over the sky."
"What? Such a horrible thing happened in the world?" Barhu was shocked. Oh my god, isn't this the legendary thunderbolt? He waved his hands repeatedly, "Go and continue to investigate."
"Yes, as you command." The soldier retreated.
Nangong Jin was also shocked. "General Ba, the sky thunder is just a legend. It can never happen in reality. What is going on?"
Barhu frowned slightly. He knew that Xiyue was the strongest in the Four-Nation Alliance in terms of both military strength and national strength. No matter what, his Beiyi Kingdom would not be able to obtain Princess Anyang unless he cooperated with others.
Gaoluo Kingdom was not within his consideration, not because Gaoluo Kingdom was weak, but because Gaoluo people were too cunning and would often stab him in the back.
Although the people of Southern Xinjiang are not very good, their national strength is not as good as that of the Northern Barbarians. Why not take this opportunity to build relationships and secretly form an alliance? As long as we achieve our goal, we can get rid of them...
Having made up his mind, he shook his head and smiled.
"Brother Nangong, you're wrong. The world is full of wonders. You just heard it, the thunder rumbling incessantly. This shows that Xiyue Lei has ulterior motives. He pretended that our four-nation alliance was attacking Daning, but in reality, he was using our power to obtain Princess Anyang, who could revitalize the nation. Then he turned his back on us. This disloyalty, unfilial behavior, and unjust behavior angered the heavens, and he was struck by lightning."
Nangong Jin nodded repeatedly at these words. "General Ba is right. I've realized this a long time ago. Ever since we sent out our troops, Xiyue Lei has been using his status as a powerful nation to suppress us. We agreed that whoever gets Princess Anyang first will own her. Now he's constantly vying to be the vanguard. This proves that he has evil intentions and is untrustworthy."
"Yes, Brother Nangong is absolutely right. That's why we need to plan ahead for some things and prepare for them in advance. Only then can we plan and deal with things calmly when we encounter them."
"General Ba, what do you mean?" Nangong Jin was stunned.
Barhu smiled softly, "Brother Nangong, as the saying goes, 'One person can accomplish nothing, but unity can break iron'. With the strength of the West Moon Nation, we are no match for them.
But if our two countries think and work together, Xiyue Country will not dare to act recklessly.
As long as we find a way to capture Anyang, the extraordinary woman who can rule the country and make it prosperous will be in our pocket.
Brother Nangong, let me tell you, we in the Northern Yi have already thoroughly investigated Princess Anyang's background. She is a remarkable woman.
She grew up in a poor family. When she was sixteen, she was enlightened by a master. Not only did she learn to practice medicine, but she also learned how to make precious white sugar. Her business spread across the entire continent.
This is nothing, the most amazing thing is that she has the skills to govern the country and maintain peace. If we have this extraordinary woman, we can bring peace to the world. You and I must never let such a remarkable person fall into the hands of other countries!"
