Daiyu persisted in expressing her feelings, and Earl Dai sighed inwardly, temporarily putting aside his pursuit.
Zheng Ya informed Liu Yuan that he had arranged a courtyard house for Count Dai to settle in Linjiang City, in order to observe the future.
Daiyu stayed temporarily at Linjiang Tower, where no one recognized her true appearance, thus avoiding the trouble of being recognized.
Three days passed in a flash, and the peaceful daily life was broken by Liu Yuan's sudden visit: "Master, the invincible army that conquered the Great Yan Dynasty has been defeated..."
"Oh, how did you lose so quickly?" Zheng Ya asked in surprise as he stretched in the morning sun.
Logically speaking, with an invincible army of 30,000 to 40,000, plus the brave and skilled commander of Ningwu, it was impossible for them to be defeated so quickly.
It should be noted that Zheng Ya created an invincible army, and each of his soldiers possessed the strength to take on a hundred men.
Thirty to forty thousand invincible troops are equivalent to the combat power of three to four million troops.
The more enemy troops there are, the more advantageous it is for the enemy.
As long as we don't make common-sense mistakes and get lured into deadly situations like canyons or fires by the enemy, defeat is impossible.
Liu Yuan has now become Zheng Ya's steward, assisting Zheng Ya in handling matters such as conglomerates and intelligence from all over the world, and possessing first-hand military intelligence on the northern border: "Master, the Great Yan Dynasty has dispatched a Yanlong Iron Cavalry, which is invincible."
Originally, the Great Yan Dynasty belonged to the grassland region, and was almost entirely nomadic. Regardless of age or gender, everyone was a kind of person who made a living on horseback.
They are natural-born surprise weapons, characterized by their lightning speed, savagery, brutality, and belligerence.
Cavalry was their specialty, and against the invincible army commanded by Ningwu Marquis, they fought their way through more than two thousand miles with negligible casualties.
But just last night, the Great Yan Dynasty dispatched a cavalry force, the Flame Dragon Iron Cavalry, which severely damaged the Invincible Army, severed one of Ningwu Marquis's arms, and the pursuit continues..."
"Flame Dragon Iron Cavalry, does the Great Yan Dynasty have such a military unit?" Zheng Ya's first reaction was that it was the work of a transmigrator.
They just waited until this moment to reveal themselves and launch a counterattack.
Liu Yuan shook his head and approached him, who was gazing northwards. "Master, the Great Yan Dynasty was originally an incomplete dynasty."
The Great Li Dynasty lacked horses and had few cavalry.
Historically, every victory against the Great Yan Dynasty was achieved only because the Great Yan Dynasty drove away its horses and cattle in advance, resulting in the Great Li Dynasty suffering heavy losses and gaining nothing despite winning the war.
There were no cavalry pursuing the enemy army across the vast grasslands.
The idea of annihilating the Great Yan Dynasty is merely wishful thinking.
The key issue is that once they enter the vast grasslands, there are no supplies or water sources, which is why the Great Yan Dynasty has existed to this day.
The sudden appearance of the Fiery Dragon Iron Cavalry is unprecedented in history!
It is not that Liu Yuan concealed an objective fact.
That is the Tianyan Mountain Range in the central region of the Great Yan Dynasty, which stretches for five to seven hundred miles.
Commonly known as Flaming Mountain, it is a volcano that erupted in middle age.
Few people usually know about the Tianyan Mountains, but everyone in the Great Yan Dynasty knows about the Flame Mountain.
Because of the existence of the Tianyan Mountains, a place where volcanic eruptions have been a constant feature, the surrounding area is in dire need of water resources. If a large amount of water had not been prepared in advance, the army would not have dared to enter the Tianyan Mountains and would have been courting death.
When people are short of water, they can ride horses to escape the Tianyan Mountains and find a water source to survive.
However, the army's horses had no water to maintain their strength, and even killing horses and drinking their blood could not get them out of the grassland area around the Tianyan Mountains.
Having managed the Tianyan Mountains for countless years, the Great Yan Dynasty naturally possessed unique drinking water resources and the ability to cut off enemy water supplies during pursuit.
This is the fundamental reason why the Great Yan Dynasty has survived to this day.
Zheng Ya was surprised: "Have you found any trace of Fu Zhen and Fu She?"
"Fu She outwardly pledged allegiance to Emperor Chengping, and they communicated with each other through palace eunuchs. However, when Fu She traveled to the capital, the people he framed and exposed were all Emperor Chengping's confidants or people who had been manipulated by Sheng Xiang."
It appears that Fu She was doing Xie Ming a favor while secretly seeking personal gain.
Fu Zhen appeared within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty three times before disappearing without a trace. Liu Yuan, based on Zheng Ya's dispatch of a team of scouts with supernatural abilities, spread throughout the land and were providing intelligence on the comprehensive infiltration of the Great Yan and Dark Yuan Dynasties.
Among the superpowered team, Zheng Ya successively planned sixteen gyrfalcons, seven peregrine falcons, and more than three hundred carrier pigeons to form an aerial reconnaissance and communication team.
The only pity is that no bird with special abilities was planned.
However, birds modified by gene-enhancing drugs, whether their intelligence is increased by three to five times or their internal reactions are increased by about five times, are not comparable to ordinary birds of prey.
Just as fierce birds are difficult to tame, so too are demonic beasts.
However, Zheng Ya had already ordered his team of supernatural beings to collect the eggs of ferocious birds, hatch and raise them, and recruit young monsters to raise.
And to collect large quantities of medicinal herbs and seeds.
This kind of layout has been fully implemented.
Zheng Ya is currently lacking time for development: "Have someone keep a close eye on the Yanlong Iron Cavalry and see if Fu Zhen has any contact with them."
Furthermore, are there any signs of collusion between the various powerful families of the Great Li Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty?
"Master, are you suspecting that Fu Zhen, carrying the seal and magical artifact, created the Flame Dragon Iron Cavalry, and that this was a premeditated rebellion?" Liu Yuan imagined a terrifying question.
Long before Zheng Ya arrived in this world, Fu Zhen had colluded with the Great Yan Dynasty, and after the incident, he lied that he was misled by Marquis Ningwu.
Furthermore, the true power of the seal and magic treasure, which symbolized half of the military power of the Great Li Dynasty, and what kind of army it commanded, was probably known only to the first emperor and the former crown prince.
After all, the former crown prince died and disappeared unexpectedly along with the imperial seal and magical artifacts!
The first emperor trusted his former crown prince, which is why he entrusted the imperial seal and magic treasures to the prince for safekeeping. After the crown prince's death, the first emperor, in order to avoid turmoil among the court officials, naturally would not reveal the true secret of the imperial seal and magic treasures to the outside world.
That was the power left for the late crown prince's lineage to restore the throne.
The first emperor would naturally not tell a third person, which meant that no one knew what the seal and magic treasure represented.
Currently, all signs indicate that the Flame Dragon Iron Cavalry is related to the Seal Magic Treasure; otherwise, why would Fu Zhen have gone to the Great Yan Dynasty?
Fu Zhen has no property or army in the Great Yan Dynasty. Is he going to go and die?
Conversely, it's intriguing that Fu Zhen went to the Great Yan Dynasty with ulterior motives!
In fact, Fu Zhen's escape from the Dali Dynasty was entirely due to Xie Ming's large-scale elimination of dissidents, which forced him to leave.
However, for safety reasons, it would be safest for Fu Zhen to go south of the Yangtze River.
After all, Fu Zhen might not know that Zheng Ya was in Jiangnan, yet Fu Zhen went to the Great Yan Dynasty instead of going far away and seeking danger.
It would be a miracle if there wasn't a problem.
Zheng Ya shook his head slightly: "It depends on how far Xie Ming pushes Fu Zhen and how many of Fu Zhen's secrets he exposes before the answer can be revealed."
“Well, the Great Li Dynasty is divided between the North and the South, and they are poised for a showdown. A civil war could break out at any time…” Liu Yuan felt that Xie Ming wouldn’t care about someone like Fu Zhen. The best course of action was to defend Lingtian Pass in the North, win the civil war, and then deal with external threats.
The Qiantang River is indefensible on both sides, separated only by the river.
In this confrontation, if Xie Ming chooses to fight the Yanlong Iron Cavalry to the death, he will definitely mobilize a large army to rush to the northern border for reinforcement. If the children of the Prince of Donglin take the opportunity to attack, Xie Ming will be caught in a pincer movement and will be doomed to lose.
Zheng Ya dismissively withdrew his gaze and turned to the southwestern mountainous area, saying, "Xie Ming is using the emperor to command the feudal lords. As long as he's not stupid, he'll choose to fight against external forces."
With the Flaming Dragon Iron Cavalry in the Northeast and the Dark Yuan Legion threatening the Southwest, their circumstances are similar. Therefore, it is the best strategy to cooperate with the outside world.
Besides, Wu Wei and Sheng Xiang have started causing trouble!
