Chapter 472: Sure enough, there is the Dali Kingdom

Shen Xiao nodded: "Yes, I asked someone to check this person. His father was killed by Helian Hengxin. He was once the general of Yuefeng State. This general favored concubines and killed his wife for many years. It seems that Jin Jing has a grudge against his father."

"This Jin Jing seems to be quite capable." At least in the past five years, Yuefeng Country has not produced such a person.

Song Qingyan was once a cavalry general and had fought against him before. Although he had some skills, his methods were not as good as his son's.

"Besides," Song Qingyan said this and turned to look at the two deputy generals Zhao and Jiang, "I'm afraid the number of people in Yuefeng Country is not right."

"That's right." Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Jiang stood up, his eyes full of admiration for Song Qingyan. He didn't expect that she would think of this first.

"I have checked. Not only has the Yuefeng Kingdom increased the number of troops here, but they have also sent a large number of troops to the north."

"Did Yuefeng Kingdom borrow soldiers from Dali Kingdom?" Song Qingyan asked decisively.

When Song Qingyan said this, Song Zhuo, who had been in a daze, finally raised his head and looked at his aunt seriously.

It turns out that what my father said was right. My aunt really is a person with the bearing of a great general.

All the things she thought of today were conclusions they dared to draw after a thorough investigation.

To be honest, when he first learned that his aunt was coming to lead the troops, he was still a little disappointed. He was even more anxious these days and had not had a good rest for several days in a row.

But now that his aunt is like this, he feels that he can rest assured.

"The general is very good at predicting things." Vice General Jiang continued to talk about what he had found out. "This month, Yuefeng has borrowed a lot of soldiers from the surrounding small countries. Together, they have at least 50,000 soldiers."

"But most of them are from Dali. I contacted a spy in Dali and asked him to investigate. I'm afraid there are at least 80,000 of them."

After hearing this, Song Qingyan didn't say anything, but let out a long sigh. It was just as she expected.

The Yuefeng Kingdom actually borrowed a total of 130,000 people.

Jin Jing is indeed a remarkable man, as he was able to convince so many small countries to lend him soldiers.

As for the Dali Kingdom, it was already expected.

My father once said that the ruler of Dali has been servile for so long that he will naturally have other thoughts over time.

Song Qingyan couldn't help but think of Concubine Wen who was crying for her in the deep palace, but now facing the interests of the Great Chu State and the hatred between her family and country, she could no longer care about these.

Your Majesty has never been the type of person who gets angry easily, but after this incident, Concubine Wen’s life in the palace will probably be much more difficult.

The Fourth Prince's future path may not be easy.

Fortunately, he has two brothers, Jin Yao and Jin Yu, who can protect him.

Song Qingyan's mind flashed again about Fu Yao, who had always dared to love and hate. She was willing to risk her life for the Dali Kingdom, but if she knew that her king was like this, she wondered if she would be willing to go to war.

I wonder if the two will face off again.

It's just that the two of them used to be close friends on the battlefield, but if they meet again now, they can only be enemies.

Vice General Zhao continued, "The current situation is very serious. Yuefeng has been using every possible means to attack us. Moreover, relying on their large numbers, they have launched frequent attacks. Our soldiers are already exhausted and unable to fight back."

Song Qingyan nodded. She could also see it from the condition of the soldiers outside.

"How many cities have been lost now?"

"Three."

"There are actually three of them." Song Qingyan finally stood up and began to look around the tent. "It seems that this golden scene is really not to be underestimated."

After hearing what his aunt said, Song Zhuo clenched his fists, stood up, and said through gritted teeth: "This Jin Jing is a beast!"

Song Qingyan then realized something was wrong and turned to look at Song Zhuo, waiting for his next words.

"In the first city, firstly, my father was ill and we were too busy to take care of ourselves, and secondly, we relaxed and let Jin Jing take it easily."

"But we put up a strong resistance against this third city."

"Let's not talk about the fact that Yuefeng has more people. The most insane thing is that Jin Jing, in order to force us to surrender, actually carried out a brutal massacre of the people in the second city."

The most terrifying scene Song Qingyan had ever imagined finally happened.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, the moment she heard the news, she still felt a black screen before her eyes, and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"General!" Shen Xiao quickly stood up and was about to help.

Song Qingyan waved her hands and said, "No problem."

Seeing Song Zhuo was filled with indignation when talking about this matter, he was even so angry that he couldn't utter a word.

Shen Xiao continued, "Fortunately, considering Jin Jing's evil deeds, we moved all the people from behind the city gate to a safe place. Now all that is left for Jin Jing is an empty city."

It was precisely because of their strenuous resistance during this period that they suffered heavy losses.

Song Qingyan could understand it. After all, the Great Chu Kingdom had not seen war for many years. No matter how hard her father and brother trained them in the past, the soldiers would eventually become lazy.

But the soldiers of Dali were different.

They must have felt humiliated by their emperor's servility over the years, so they will certainly try their best in this war.

Song Zhuo still had a furious look on his face. He hated Yue Fengguo, hated Jin Jing's cruelty, and hated himself even more for being powerless.

Seeing him like this, Song Qingyan walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "It's time for us to fight back."

Her eyes were gleaming with an unusually determined light: "We can't just sit back and do nothing about this matter, nor can we act rashly. We need to discuss it carefully."

"We must not only avenge those innocent people, but also firmly protect every inch of our Great Chu State."

Several people nodded.

Shen Xiao also spoke up: "It's just that there is still no good strategy right now."

Song Qingyan waved at them, signaling them to go to the map: "The first priority now is to send people to strictly guard Jinhu Town. Jinhu Town is a road leading to Da Chu, and Yuefeng Country must not be allowed to touch it at all."

Song Qingyan pointed to the location of Jinhu Town on the map.

That night, several people gathered together and began to discuss the next counterattack plan. They all knew very well that they could only win this battle and could not lose, so they could not be careless in the slightest.

At this time, the soldiers in other tents naturally saw the light in the commander's tent, and hope began to shine in their hearts.

To be honest, many brothers have been killed or injured in these days. We have lost several battles in succession and lost many cities.

All the soldiers were affected, and some even began to desert.

Although it was handled by Lieutenant General Jiang, it made everyone in the camp even more panicked.
