Chen Qingqing wasn't entirely confident about winning this war.
Although the initial victory caught them off guard, the four nations were not fools. Once they realized what was happening, they would not advance so recklessly.
With a little thought, this Heavenly Thunder Formation could be easily broken.
We don't know where Chu Jiuqing is now, or whether he can get there in time...
When Chu Jiuqing learned that the northwestern border had been breached by four kingdoms, he was extremely anxious and wished he could fly to Anyang immediately.
He ordered his soldiers to travel day and night to Anyang.
Along the way, Chu Jiuqing conducted military operations while simultaneously reviewing state affairs.
The four kingdoms' joint attack on Anyang occurred at a time when their military forces were weakened, making it an opportune moment to strike.
Taking this opportunity, we will incorporate the four countries into the territory of Da Ning and complete the unification.
Opportunity knocks but once.
He had already issued military orders to attack the four countries, and I don't know how the border is now.
At this moment, Wang Meng, the leader of the Imperial Guard, stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, I have followed your instructions and sent messages by carrier pigeon to all the border generals, ordering them to attack the cities of the four kingdoms. General Cheng has sent a letter saying that two cities have already been captured. Now the morale of our Great Ning is high, and it is only a matter of time before we take over the four kingdoms."
Chu Jiuqing's eyes were red. "Good, beat them hard! Beat them all the way to their capital, capture their king alive, and at the same time, block all news from reaching Anyang."
Wang Meng's expression was solemn. "Your subordinate understands. We will not allow a single word to reach Xi Yuelei, Nangong Jin, Gao Lizhu, and Balhu."
The Western Moon Kingdom has actually joined forces with four other countries to provoke war. If they do not retaliate now, how can they face the ministers who support them and their sworn sister's expectations?
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've long wanted to unify the world, but unexpectedly, four kingdoms have delivered themselves to my doorstep.
If we don't take this opportunity to subdue them, it would be a disservice to them for going to such lengths.
The army had been marching without sleep for three days straight, and many soldiers were exhausted to the point of collapse, yet they still gritted their teeth and persevered.
These soldiers were all trained by Chu Jiuqing. They fought side by side on the battlefield, risking their lives together.
Having witnessed Chu Jiuqing grow step by step into the emperor he is today, and knowing full well that Chu Jiuqing carries the lives of countless people of Da Ning and the safety of the nation on his shoulders,
They absolutely could not hold him back, and everyone dared not slack off, doing their utmost to keep going.
Chu Jiuqing watched as the soldiers staggered, their faces pale, some even collapsing on the roadside. He knew that if things continued like this, even if they reached Anyang, they would be unable to fight and would only harm them.
He turned to Chasing Wind beside him and said, "Pass down the order to set up camp and rest on the spot to recover our strength. We will continue our journey tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhui Feng accepted the order and left.
Although Chu Jiuqing was extremely worried, he believed that Chen Qingqing could hold on, after all, that girl had brought him so many surprises...
Outside Anyang City.
Xi Yuelei was terrified, fearing he would be struck dead by lightning. He swung his arm with all his might, cracking the whip.
The horses were beaten so badly they reared up and galloped like the wind towards the rear camp.
Bargu and Nangong Jin, who were waiting for news in the army's main tent, kept hearing loud noises coming from the front. They were puzzled and came out one after another.
Bargu looked up and saw a cloudless sky. "It's not cloudy at all, so why is there thunder?"
"Yes, what's going on?" Nangong Jin also asked, her face full of questions.
Just then, a scout reported, "Reporting to General Ba, the Western Moon army was suddenly attacked by lightning, suffering heavy casualties."
"What? Attacked by lightning?" Bargu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "What exactly happened? Explain yourself quickly."
"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that wherever the Western Moon Army goes, they are attacked with thunderous explosions. Anyone hit by the explosion is either reduced to dust or has their arms and legs flying everywhere."
"What? Such a terrifying thing can happen in the world?" Bargu was shocked. "My God, isn't this the legendary being struck by lightning?" He waved his hands repeatedly, "Go and continue to investigate."
"Yes, sir." The soldier withdrew.
Nangong Jin was also shocked. "General Ba, heavenly lightning is just a legend. It could never happen in reality. What's going on?"
Bargu frowned slightly. He knew that Xiyue was the strongest in the four-nation alliance in terms of both military strength and national power. Under no circumstances could his Northern Barbarian Kingdom obtain Princess Anyang unless it cooperated with someone else.
The Kingdom of Gao Luo was not within his consideration, not because Gao Luo was weak, but because the people of Gao Luo were too cunning and often stabbed him in the back.
Although the people of the Southern Frontier are not very good, their national strength is not as great as that of the Northern Barbarians. Why not take this opportunity to cultivate relations and secretly form an alliance? Once the goal is achieved, they can be discarded after being used...
Having made up his mind, he shook his head and smiled.
“Brother Nangong, you are mistaken. The world is full of wonders. You heard it just now, the thunder was deafening. This shows that Xi Yuelei has ulterior motives. On the surface, it is our four-nation alliance attacking Da Ning, but in reality, he wants to use our power to obtain Princess Anyang, who can revitalize the country. Then he will turn his back on us. Such disloyalty, filial impiety, and unjust behavior has angered the heavens, which is why he was struck by this thunder.”
Nangong Jin nodded repeatedly at these words, "General Ba is right. I realized it long ago. Since the start of the expedition, Xi Yue Lei has been suppressing us with his status as a powerful country. He said that whoever gets Princess Anyang first will own her country. Now he is always vying to be the vanguard. From this, we can conclude that this person is dishonest and not trustworthy."
"Yes, Brother Nangong is absolutely right. That's why we need to plan ahead and prepare for the future so that we can be resourceful and calm when problems arise."
"General Ba, what do you mean by that?" Nangong Jin was taken aback.
Bargu chuckled softly, "Brother Nangong, as the saying goes, 'One person can't accomplish anything, but unity can break gold.' With the strength of the Western Moon Kingdom, we are no match for them at all."
But if our two countries are of one mind and work together, the Western Moon Kingdom will not dare to act recklessly.
As long as we manage to capture Anyang, the extraordinary woman who governs the country and brings prosperity will be ours for the taking.
Brother Nangong, let me tell you, we Northern Barbarians have long since thoroughly investigated Princess Anyang's background. She is truly an extraordinary woman.
She came from a poor family. At the age of sixteen, she was enlightened by a wise man and not only learned to practice medicine but also to make exquisite white sugar. Her business spread throughout the entire continent.
That's not all. What's most remarkable is her ability to govern a country and bring peace to the land. Having such an extraordinary woman means securing the world's stability. We absolutely cannot allow such a remarkable person to fall into the hands of another nation!
