Youzhou, horse farm.
In the general camp of Houjin Iron Cavalry, deputy general Yang Chengguang looked at Liu Xiaowei in front of him with a gloomy face and said:
"Liu Lieutenant, do you know what you are talking about? Could it be that the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty dared to kill our princess of Houjin because he had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
Lieutenant Liu looked bitter, immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said:
"If General Yang doesn't believe me, you can send someone to investigate personally."
"I dare not deceive the general because of my humble position. When I heard about this, I was shocked and immediately sent my men to the capital of Zhou Dynasty to investigate."
"But... all the nails we buried in the capital were uprooted, and the third princess seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!"
"After some inquiring, the people I sent have still not found the whereabouts of the princess. However... all the envoys who accompanied the princess were brutally killed!"
"What did you say!!?"
General Yang roared angrily, and his whole body was like a furious lion.
"Asshole!"
"These damn Zhou people, I want to kill them all to avenge the princess!"
As soon as these words came out, Colonel Liu's face was also red and extremely angry.
"General Yang, the princess is grateful for her humble position. Yang wants to enlist in the front army!"
"This matter will depend on what you say."
General Yang's voice was a little heavy, but a look of unwillingness flashed in his tiger eyes.
If possible, he would send his troops south without hesitation. Those soldiers and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all weak and worthless like ants!
He is confident that he can defeat the opponent easily.
But the crux of the problem is that if you want to use a large army, you have to consider the issue of food and grass. As the saying goes, before troops and horses move forward with food and grass, if there is not enough food and grass, attacking a powerful city in a large scale is tantamount to seeking death.
Thinking of this, General Yang looked at the map in front of him, but his eyes were fixed on the location of Guyuguan Pass.
If these damn Da Qin people hadn't been in the way, I, the Queen of the Jin Dynasty, would have trampled the capital of Da Zhou long ago!
Guyuguan,
well……
at the same time,
Yang Dong looked at the information in his hand, his face filled with astonishment.
But after being stunned, his eyes were filled with deep worry.
Today, there are only a few spies left in Guyuguan.
All the troops stationed here have disappeared!
And according to the reports from the spies who came back, there seem to be traces of Qin army activities in Guyuguan.
What a great Yang Yan!
Yang Dong sneered, and suddenly looked at Shu Mouse beside him with a serious face.
"Mouse, this information is of great significance. Can you guarantee its authenticity?"
Shu Mouse did not hesitate, but nodded firmly.
"Mr. Yang, the credibility of this matter should be very high!"
"Because this information was obtained through our brothers' hard work."
"According to his account, when he arrived at Guyyu Pass ten days ago, the people there were empty and there were no troops. There was only an empty Guyyu Pass left."
"He discovered traces of the Qin army's activities in Guanzhong. Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he took it upon himself to investigate. But unexpectedly, he fell into the plan of the criminals."
Having said this, Shu Shuzhu looked at Yang Dong with a look of gratitude.
"Speaking of which, if Mr. Yang hadn't equipped all the brothers with smoke bombs, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to deliver this information today."
"But even so, when our brother came back, he was still seriously injured, with almost only half his life left."
Yang Dong nodded deeply,
"Xiao Xiao, please arrange this brother well. I'm going to go to the Shangqing Palace."
…
Shangqing Palace, study room,
The empress looked at the information in her hand, and a cold murderous intent flashed through her eyes.
"Yang Yan, Yang Yan!"
"He is really my good general!"
"I trust him so much, yet he secretly colludes with Da Qin behind my back!"
"I will chop off his head and confiscate his home!"
She threw the teacup in her hand angrily, but a deep sense of powerlessness appeared in her eyes.
Lin Chunqiu, the first assistant, and Jin Mei, the queen, went back and forth, and Yang Yan, the general, had a secret affair with Da Qin.
Is my Great Zhou really going to die?
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study.
"Mr. Yang, Your Majesty said you won't see anyone. Why don't you go back first..."
When Yang Dong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up! Even the pace under his feet has accelerated a lot.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"come in."
In the study room, the empress' majestic voice came out.
Yang Dong immediately stepped into the study without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
As he spoke, he glanced at the empress sitting at the desk.
Seeing that the empress was neatly dressed and wearing a dragon robe, Yang Dong couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
I thought there would be some benefits, but it seems that I thought too much...
"Xiao Dongzi, you came to me late at night, but it's about Guyu's affairs?"
"Your Majesty, do you know everything?"
Yang Dong was surprised, but his eyes immediately became clearer.
There is no need to be surprised by this. Xichang is not the only intelligence agency in the hands of Yourong.
"Xiao Dongzi, let me ask you. What do you think about the Guyu incident?"
Yang Dong pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid something is going to change in Youzhou."
"We should have made plans for this in advance."
When the empress heard this, she rolled her eyes at Yang Dong angrily.
"Xiao Dongzi, I know everything you said."
"What I'm asking you is, how should I respond?"
"this……"
Yang Dong couldn't help but frown.
According to common sense, Yang Yan should have sent troops to guard Guyuguan Pass.
But later, Guyuguan fell into the hands of Da Qin. If it were just that, the situation wouldn't be so critical.
The key to the problem now is that there is no one left at Guyu Pass!
The Qin army withdrew quietly. If he hadn't sent spies, he wouldn't have even known about it.
What if... this news falls into the hands of Hou Jin?
Thinking of this, Yang Dong felt a chill running down his spine.
Hou Jin's cavalry might already be on the way.
Thinking of this, he immediately said:
"Your Majesty, there is no room for failure in Guyu Pass!"
"If Hou Jin has no worries about food and grass, the capital may be in danger."
"I think your Majesty should have made plans in advance, at least... to mobilize a few large armies to guard the capital."
The empress sighed softly, a trace of sadness rising between her brows.
"Xiao Dongzi, how many more troops do you think I can mobilize?"
Yang Dong was silent,
Even the Longwu Army and Huwei Army in the capital did not know how many people were deployed among them. Not to mention the troops guarding the outside.
Moreover, Yang Yan has a high prestige in the army. If he really has a different intention, then I am afraid that half of the army of Zhou Dynasty no longer belongs to Zhou Dynasty.
Some people died, but not completely...
