The King of Southern Xinjiang kicked the old man in anger: "Useless trash! You think nine kinds of poisons can stump you? Aren't you supposed to be the number one poisoner in Southern Xinjiang?"
The old man slumped to one side, then got up again.
"Your Majesty, the front lines are in dire need of help! The Zhou army has suddenly increased its forces and is attacking from the east and north!" At this moment, someone came in to report.
"What about the other side of Linshan?" the King of Southern Xinjiang asked, clenching his fist.
"There's no news from Linshan!" the messenger replied.
"Where is the princess now?" the King of Southern Xinjiang asked again.
"Your Majesty, the princess is leading a large army north to resist the Zhou army," the messenger replied.
The King of Southern Xinjiang glanced at his poisoned son lying on the bed, pondered for a moment, sat down to the side, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, handed it to the old man, and then instructed: "Take the Crown Prince out to sea, bypass Jin Nan, go to the Goddess Kingdom, and deliver this letter to Murong Si!"
The Murong Si he mentioned was the queen of the Goddess Kingdom, with whom he had a past relationship.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old man took the letter.
After the King of Southern Xinjiang left, he had his men carry the Prince of Southern Xinjiang directly to the ferry, then across the river, and then out to sea.
Southern Xinjiang is located near the sea and faces the Jin Nan Kingdom across the sea. The river flowing from Kunzhou divides Southern Xinjiang in two.
Apart from General Peng and his wife, who once fought their way into the heart of southern Xinjiang, and their soldiers, few people knew about the terrain inside southern Xinjiang.
The King of Southern Xinjiang has a son and a daughter. The Crown Prince's mission is to find the exit from Linshan. He wanted to use Gu Nian to threaten Xue Qianyu into withdrawing his troops, but unfortunately, he was injured by Gu Nian's hidden weapon instead.
Princess Nanjiang, on the other hand, confronted Lu Zheng and Peng Lang from the east. In terms of leading troops in battle, Princess Nanjiang was much more capable than her brother.
The people of Southern Xinjiang are most skilled at dealing with all kinds of poisons, including venomous snakes, insects, smoke, and other poisons. This time, Grandma Xiao developed a pill specifically designed to counteract the poisons of Southern Xinjiang, so the casualties among the soldiers of Great Zhou were not serious.
After receiving the message from Xue Qianyu, Lu Zheng immediately cooperated with Xue Qianyu to create the impression that their military strength had greatly increased, so that the people of Southern Xinjiang would resist them with all their might. Xue Qianyu and Madam Peng would then surround them from Linshan and trap Southern Xinjiang in one place.
To be honest, Lu Zheng had considered this method before, but there were also guards in the southern border region near Linshan, so he felt it would be better to force the people of the southern border to Linshan.
Since Xue Qianyu brought it up first, he decided not to discuss it further. It would take a day or two for the two armies to send a message between their encampments, and he trusted Xue Qianyu and Madam Peng's abilities.
The area where the Southern Frontier borders the Great Zhou Dynasty is all mountains, and Gu Shouxin's idea was to trap them like turtles in a jar.
They were at odds with Kim Nam, and trying to escape from Kim Nam's direction would be like throwing themselves into the lion's den. Trying to escape by sea as a whole was also impossible.
The princess of the Southern Frontier was to the north, and the king of the Southern Frontier led the last soldiers in the city to meet them to the east.
The current battle situation is as follows: Xue Qianyu and Madam Peng are leading their troops to attack from the west, Linshan; Lu Zheng is to the east; and Peng Sanlang is to the north.
The first area to be breached was Linshan. The entire population of Southern Xinjiang was mobilized for war and to raise poisons. The Great Zhou also suffered casualties, but fortunately, they had a lot of antidotes with them.
Madam Peng and Xue Qianyu led two groups of people and spent a day and a night to break through Linshan and rest on the spot.
On the morning of the ninth day, a portion of the rested troops remained to guard the area, while the rest continued eastward. Halfway there, someone from the water camp reported that they had spotted people from southern Xinjiang crossing the river. Peng Ze led his men to personally pursue them.
