King Beidi's right eyelid twitched, and a very bad premonition suddenly arose.
They arrived twenty days ago. Where is this pacification mission? It was clearly a forced march!
At such a fast speed, unless Qin Feng traveled lightly and did not bring any "gifts", he rushed to the border at full speed after leaving the gate of Kyoto in the Liang Kingdom.
The question is, why is Qin Feng so anxious?
The King of Beidi immediately realized that Qin Feng was planning to make some big noise before entering the capital of Dadi!
Now that the situation between the two countries has tended to ease, the only thing that can attract Qin Feng is Dadi's only stronghold on the southern front, Xiongying Ridge!
"Damn Qin Feng, his intentions are so vicious. Once Eagle Ridge is captured, Dadi will no longer have a frontier fortress to rely on!"
"Pass my order and quickly dispatch the Eagle Brigade... No! The Eagle Brigade is too far away. Send the Snow Wolf Brigade to defeat Qin Feng's troops and support Eagle Ridge at all costs!"
Just when King Beidi issued the imperial edict, a young eunuch came in a hurry, holding in his hand the "100,000 urgent letters" sent by the Ministry of War.
Seeing the young eunuch, King Beidi's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, an urgent military report has been sent from Xiongying Ridge. I beg your Majesty to send troops for support as soon as possible."
King Beidi took the letter and tore it open in twos and twos. When he saw the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but staggered a few steps, his eyes full of shock.
"Li Yu, forget about intercepting and killing Qin Feng..."
King Beidi slowly closed his eyes and sighed feebly: "It's too late to support Eagle Ridge..."
Li Yu took the letter from King Beidi, glanced at it quickly, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What?! Is Eagle Ridge already in danger? How could it be so fast! Eagle Ridge is the only heavy fortress on the southern frontier of Dadi, and there are nearly 8,000 veterans stationed there. Not to mention Qin Feng's few people, even if we face The siege of the main army in the northern border of Liang State can last at least a year and a half!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Li Yu and Liang Guoming have been fighting secretly for so many years, but they have never seen anyone use troops so quickly. You know... this is a tough battle!
Even if Qin Feng is the reincarnation of the God of War, facing the impregnable Eagle Ridge Fortress, Eagle Ridge will not almost collapse in just twenty days. This... is too incredible!
It would take two days to send an urgent message from Xiongying Ridge to the capital of Dadi.
Now that the order is given to support Eagle Ridge, it will take at least ten days from the time the transfer order is issued to the time the Snow Wolf Brigade assembles its troops and leaves Eagle Ridge.
According to the current situation in Xiongying Ridge, by the time the Snow Wolf Brigade arrives at its destination, the day lilies may be cold.
And now the entire "Sangzhou Land" has been reduced to a buffer zone, with countless spies from the Liang Kingdom roaming there. Once the Snow Wolf Brigade's whereabouts are exposed, it is very likely to be ambushed by Qin Feng, but he will lose his wife and lose his troops.
Since there is no way to save Eagle Ridge, decisively choosing to give up is the most rational decision.
Li Yu stared at the contents of the letter and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although Xiongying Ridge can no longer be saved, the traitor general Lu Ci and all the traitors who can be verified should be pursued to the ends of the earth, otherwise everyone will follow suit in the future. , Where is the prestige of my country, Dadi?!"
The King of Beidi waved his hand, indicating that the matters at Eagle Ridge would be left to Li Yu.
"I'm tired!"
Seeing King Beidi turn away, Li Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, no longer hesitate, and went straight to the Ministry of War.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Yu shouted sternly: "Where are the officials of the Ministry of War? Quickly check the registered families of the traitor general Lu Ci and others. All relatives in the three clans will not be spared and all will be imprisoned!"
At this moment, Li Yu discovered that Chen Si was also in the lobby of the Ministry of War. He was stunned and quickly saluted with clasped fists.
"General Chen, when did you come?"
Chen Si beat his chest and returned the greeting: "Master Li, I also heard about the emergency at Xiongying Ridge and came here as soon as possible. Master Li, please calm down and investigate the traitor general. Naturally, we must execute it, but we must not kill without authorization."
As soon as he said this, Li Yu couldn't help but frown: "For the crime of treason, if you don't kill, the people will not be angry! If it weren't for your majesty's kindness, he only barred three tribes, even if he slaughtered the nine traitorous tribes, it would not be an exaggeration at all!"
Chen Si nodded repeatedly and signaled Li Yu to be calm and calm: "Master Li, don't be impatient. I am not doing this to favor the traitor general, but for a reason."
Although Li Yu is the confidant of the Beidi King, he respects Chen Si extremely much. After all, looking at the entire Beidi, only Chen Si can take advantage of Qin Feng head-on.
Moreover... Chen Si is an unwavering and die-hard hawk.
Perhaps people who came into contact with Chen Si for the first time thought that he was a broad-minded general, but Li Yu, who was a member of the same martial arts competition, knew very well that in the whole Dadi, who wanted to kill Qin Feng the most? Apart from the King of Beidi, it’s Chen Si.
"General Chen, please clarify." Li Yu quickly made a gesture of invitation.
Mr. Chen sighed, took the military report just returned from the front line from the Minister of War, and handed it to Li Yu.
"Master Li, please take a look. This 800-mile urgent military report has just been delivered to the royal capital."
"The rebel general Lu Ci did not move into the territory of Liang State, nor did he hide his name to avoid the pursuit of the night owl. Instead, he led two thousand rebels and stationed them in Sangzhou! And he held high the slogan of supporting the orthodoxy of the Dadi royal family. The banner must have changed!"
Li Yu frowned and kept thinking in his mind, support the royal family's orthodoxy? ! Combined with King Beidi's performance just now, he has vaguely realized something.
Obviously, this Lu Ci was not just a traitor, but also made an ulterior deal with Qin Feng!
If Lu Ci's family was killed rashly, what changes would happen?
To be on the safe side, Li Yu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "General Chen, in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Chen Si had already known something in his mind, so he bluntly blurted out: "It is better to be still than to move. It is not appropriate to make any big moves before Qin Feng arrives in the royal capital."
"As long as Qin Feng arrives in the royal capital, we can remain unchanged and adapt to any changes."
Li Yu suddenly realized and sighed in his heart, Chen Si was worthy of being Qin Feng's old enemy, and he could see through the interests at a glance. As long as Qin Feng's people are in the capital of Beidi, no matter how powerful Qin Feng is, he can't climb the Five Fingers Mountain of Dadi!
"General Chen, I'll leave it to you to deal with Qin Feng!"
Li Yu clasped his fists hard, his eyes full of awe: "I, Ye Xiao, will fully support all decisions made by General Chen!"
…
On the wall of Eagle Ridge, Ma Tingyun had a sad face. Ever since the traitor Lu Ci defected with two thousand cavalry, the already precarious morale had almost collapsed.
The remaining 4,800 defenders, except for Ma Tingyun's personal soldiers and supervisors, were all very passive.
Now if Qin Feng launches a massive attack, even Ma Tingyun is beginning to wonder whether he can defend the city.
