Several senior officials in the army actually had completely opposite views, and now they were in trouble. According to military rank, Xiang Mao is the marshal and Chu Ba is the general. However, Chu Ba controlled an elite group of thirty thousand people. These people were originally palace guards. Even if they went on an expedition, they would only obey the orders of Commander Chu Ba.
If Chu Ba insists on going his own way, the army will be divided, which is extremely detrimental to the cohesion of the army.
Is it really necessary to send a message to the King of Chu and let him make a decision?
However, if this matter bothers King Chu, he will definitely be disappointed.
Chu Ba thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to vote with the top management whether to continue to fight Feng'er City or to fight Nuer City.
It may be that Chu Ba has been away from the front line for too long, and his prestige is no longer what it used to be. Except for Wuming, everyone else agreed to continue the attack on Feng'er City. The reasons are all the same, and they all believe that Jiang Ze and Jiang Ze's main force are the culprits. Just destroy them and all problems will be solved.
Chu Ba didn't expect that so many people would support Xiang Mao. Although he didn't want to admit it, he could only accept everyone's opinions.
In the end, Chu Ba decided to cooperate with Xiang Mao and continue to attack Feng'er City. Because Chu Ba was confident that as long as he and his palace guards were there, it would not be difficult to eliminate Jiang Ze and his main force. But if Chu Ba is motivated and leaves with Wuming and 30,000 elites, then Xiang Mao's 200,000 troops may not be able to defeat Jiang Ze. Even if he could eat it, it would still be a heavy loss. By then, even if Chu Ba took Nuer City, he would not have enough troops to defend King Lie's central army.
In this way, 300,000 Chu troops continued to attack Feng'er City.
Jiang Ze sat on the watchtower of Feng'er City, looking at the sky full of fire at the west city gate, listening to the incessant sound of cannons, and began to evaluate and predict Feng'er City. Three days later, holes will appear in the walls of Feng'er City. Seven days later, the number of holes will increase to at least ten, and the Chu army will attack Feng'er City.
However, after the city is broken, it is just the beginning.
Various traps have already been laid out in Feng'er City. After the Chu army broke through the city, they faced guerrilla warfare, street fighting, trap warfare, etc. What kind of troops these 300,000 Chu soldiers are and how strong they are will be known by then.
This battle may be a protracted one, and Feng'er City will be the grave of many people.
On the far other side, Su Kouye sent envoys one after another last month and established close contact with the Lie Kingdom and the Kane Kingdom.
The Lie Kingdom and the Kane Kingdom have also been very cooperative and did not dare to neglect the Yan Kingdom's envoys. They confessed to the envoys that the Zerg Queen has not yet issued any announcement. Although there are signs of Zerg activities in the desert, the border areas are very peaceful. And there is no harassment of boundaries.
Su Kouye felt very uneasy. It was less than two months before the five-year war contract. Why was there still no response from the Zerg Queen? Could it be that she has given up the five-year contract?
However, if you give up, why build a desert lighthouse? Isn't this just to prepare for the future invasion of the Zerg army?
The Zerg are not good at naval warfare, and their navy's combat effectiveness is also very average. If they want to invade Yanhuang, they can only cross the Eurasian desert. In order to facilitate marching and not get lost, the desert lighthouse is particularly important. Since it was built, it must have a purpose.
The more Su Kouye thought about it, the more worried he became. He even went to Kane Country in person and met with National Master Bain.
Bain has been committed to the diplomatic development of the two countries in the past two years, so he attaches great importance to Su Kouye's arrival and prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him.
On the day of Su Kouye's arrival, the city of Kane was bustling with activity, comparable to the National Day.
The citizens were curious about what happened at first, but later they found out that it was the regent of the Yan Kingdom who came to visit the king in person.
Some citizens felt very angry. Why did the regent from another country make the capital so lively when he came to visit? Just because the Yan Kingdom is powerful, does the Gray Clan have to fawn over them?
However, there are also many citizens who are very happy, and these citizens are generally manufacturers and businessmen. The last time Su Kouye visited, the mission signed a very large commercial order with the Kingdom of Kane. The products included all walks of life, which really made many businessmen rich.
Unfortunately, the main purpose of Su Kouye's visit this time was not for business between the two countries, but to discuss the Zerg affairs.
In the high-level embassy, Kaidin and Bain talked with Su Kouye for a long time.
Bain actually agreed with Su Kouye's guess that the establishment of the desert lighthouse must have a strategic purpose. In addition, according to spy reports from the continent of Europe, the Zerg do have more frequent military activities than before. The Zerg may attack the continent of Asia at any time and must be guarded against.
Now that everyone has a consensus, everything is easier to discuss.
Su Kouye signed a war alliance treaty with the Kane Kingdom, and Su Kouye's army could freely cross the border and stationed in the western city gate area of Kane Country. However, there is a limit to the number of troops, with a maximum of 100,000. Bain also made special explanations on this point. Before the Zerg has officially invaded, one hundred thousand foreign troops can only be stationed in the country, just to prevent the Zerg invasion in advance. If other countries have too many troops and the Zerg attacks again, it will cause panic among the people in the country. However, if the Zerg officially invades on a large scale, the Kingdom of Kane will allow the Yan Kingdom’s troops to travel freely within the territory of the Kingdom of Kane without any quantitative restrictions.
After the treaty was signed, Su Kouye returned to the Yan Kingdom and planned to deploy his troops, so that 100,000 troops would first be stationed in the western city of the Kane Kingdom.
However, not long after Su Kouye returned to Yan Country, a transport plane from Kane State chased him. They claimed that they had an emergency and were looking for Su Kouye.
Su Kouye was a little confused. He had just returned from the Kane Kingdom. Why did the Kane Kingdom's envoy come after him again?
Su Kouye hurriedly summoned the envoy, who hurriedly took out a document and handed it to Su Kouye.
Su Kouye opened the file and after reading it, he was shocked and angry.
It turned out that when Su Kou left Kane Country at night, the Zerg messenger arrived later and handed over a proposal for a non-aggression agreement.
The so-called non-aggression means that the Zerg will invade the Yan Kingdom and pass through the Kane Kingdom. At that time, the Kane Kingdom should not panic. The Zerg are just passing by and will not attack any city. Likewise, Kane should not harass the Zerg army.
Kaedin and Baine were already quarreling over how to reply to this agreement.
Kaidin believes that the Gray Tribe cannot afford to offend the Zerg Tribe, so it is better to do nothing and let the Zerg Tribe pass through the Kingdom of Kane. But Bain believes that the Zerg's words are not credible. Once the army comes to Kane's territory, it may attack the city and occupy the territory at any time. It is better to cooperate with Su Kouye and directly resist the Zerg in the western border area. But Kaidin insists that this is not a war between the Gray Tribe, but a war between the Zerg Tribe and the Flame Nation, and the Gray Tribe is determined not to get into this troubled water.
In fact, whether it is Kaidin or Bain, their opinions are reasonable. Su Kouye didn't know who among them could win the argument. But the only thing he knows now is that the Zerg have officially decided to go to war with the Yan Kingdom.
The peace of just a few years is coming to an end soon.
Faced with such a major event, Su Kouye had to discuss it with Jiang Wei. He issued a summons order and asked Jiang Wei to come to the capital.
Coincidentally, Jiang Wei's transport plane encountered the Zerg transport plane when it was approaching Wangcheng. That kind of aircraft with a strange insect head shape can only be designed by the Zerg race. However, what is ridiculous is that the Zerg aircraft were modified from ordinary civilian aircraft, but the aircraft was purchased from Yanguo. The power system used was the Dilo power system, which was driven by electricity and solar energy.
Both planes were transport passenger planes and were not loaded with weapons, so they flew parallel to each other without any scruples.
The aircraft has its own communication system and can communicate freely within a certain range. Through a simple exchange, Jiang Wei learned that the people on this transport plane were diplomatic envoys sent by the Zerg, the Klein family.
They said they had no malicious intent and were just here to deliver information.
Considering that the Yan Kingdom had not yet completely broken up with the Zerg, Jiang Wei did a favor and guided the Zerg's aircraft to fly into Wangcheng.
Two transport planes landed at the air force base, and Jiang Wei took the courier to meet Su Kouye.
Su Kouye and Jiang Wei briefly entertained the messenger and learned the purpose of his visit.
What the Zerg Queen Mikasa meant was that the five-year war was coming, and she didn't intend to remind her and just start the war. However, considering that the Zerg have always had a friendly relationship with the Yan Kingdom, they were notified in advance. In addition, Yanguo is about to usher in the New Year, and I wish all the people of Yanguo a happy New Year in advance. The Zerg will issue a declaration to the world one month after the New Year's holiday and officially declare war on the Yan Kingdom.
Su Kouye and Jiang Wei looked at me and I looked at you, sighing repeatedly. It seems that the short-lived peace is about to be broken.
The two secretly held a high-level meeting in Wangcheng to discuss the Zerg's declaration of war. After intense discussions, no result could be reached. Because there is a huge variable now, and that is Kane Country. As long as Kane Country does not express its position, Yan Country will not be able to rashly enter Kane Country early. The only thing that can be done now is to wait and wait for Kane's attitude.
At the end of the meeting, Su Kouye asked everyone: "Do we want to inform the whole country about the upcoming war?"
After everyone's discussion, Jiang Wei represented the majority of opinions and decided: "Without any notice, the New Year is coming soon, let everyone have a good New Year. The Zerg Queen's statement is very clear, she will not raid, nor does she have the conditions for a raid. So we can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.”
Not long after, Yanguo successfully ushered in the New Year, and this year's New Year was more lively than in previous years. Looking back at the beginning of the end of the world, when the crisis broke out, no one was in the mood to celebrate the New Year. After the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, the New Year Festival was officially resumed, and it became more and more lively every year, and the previous atmosphere was almost restored.
This New Year, in addition to Jiang Wei Tianpeng and others who returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year, even Po Kong, Su Hai, Fan Yan and others also came back.
Many generals who were not allowed to come back before were actually allowed to go back and reunite with their families. There are even some generals who have been worried about leaving the army, but they only came back to celebrate the New Year after Su Kouye made a special statement.
Many generals guessed that a war might be coming, and they didn't know whether they would be able to survive after this year, so they tacitly rushed back to the capital to reunite with their families, and if conditions permitted, they could leave an heir or something.
The commercial street in Wangcheng is extremely developed. It is closed except on New Year's Eve and opens the next day.
Po Kong Su Hai and others particularly missed their good comrade at the beginning of the apocalypse, Yang Xiaoran, so they made an appointment to go to the Commercial City.
Yang Xiaoran is now the regent and queen, so it is difficult to make appointments. But Yang Xiaoran disguised himself, accepted the appointment, and took Jiang Li with him.
Po Kong looked at Jiang Li with a look of disgust on his face: "Why are you still bringing the little prince with you? It's too ostentatious."
"Don't worry, I'll dress him up so no one can recognize him."
"Okay, let's go to the amusement park."
In fact, apart from nostalgia, Po Kong had other purposes for asking Yang Xiaoran out this time.
No, during the game, Su Hai and Fan Yan found an opportunity to take Jiang Li to grab the claw machine, giving Po Kong a chance to be alone with Yang Xiaoran in the Ferris wheel.
When the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, Po Kong asked Yang Xiaoran: "I really have doubts, but Su Kouye and Jiang Wei didn't say anything. They just said to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind and don't worry about so much."
"I know you will have questions, but you should listen to them and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. There are still several days of long holidays."
"But I feel uncomfortable. I know something must have happened."
"Oh, do you really have to know?" To be honest, Yang Xiaoran didn't want to say it because it would affect his mood.
"I'm not afraid of trouble. I promise I won't tell them."
"Okay, you must keep it a secret, because Su Kouye hopes that this New Year, everyone will have no worries."
"I know, I will definitely keep it a secret."
"The thing is like this, the Zerg Queen..."
On the other side, Su Hai was about to collapse. He had caught the doll dozens of times, but he never succeeded once.
Jiang Li kept laughing: "Haha, you are as stupid as me."
"Are you really a fool? When you scold others, you have to bring yourself too?"
"But a lot of people say I'm stupid, even my sister, because I'm always bullied."
"If you are bullied, you will be bullied back, you know?" Su Hai shouted.
Jiang Li was frightened by Su Hai's expression and was stunned for several seconds.
Su Hai continued: "Just like the claw machine, although I have failed dozens of times, I can't give up."
"Su Hai, we have run out of coins." Fanyan said.
"You won't buy it?"
"I didn't bring that much cash."
"I didn't bring it either. Anyway, you can find a way for me, otherwise I will dismantle this claw machine."
"That's not okay. Don't cause trouble."
"Wow, why is it so unhappy?" Su Hai said angrily.
"This is not how you catch a doll. You are too impatient. Let me teach you." Yang Xiaoran came with a smile on his face and a pile of coins in his hand.
About an hour later, Yang Xiaoran could be heard yelling.
"What bullshit machine? This machine is poisonous. I want to dismantle it."
"Yang Xiaoran, calm down." Su Hai stopped Yang Xiaoran.
"Mom, calm down." Jiang Li also hugged Yang Xiaoran's leg.
"Well, you'd better eat the candied haws on a stick first and let Po Kong catch them." Fanyan took several bunches of candied haws and distributed them to them.
Su Hai has never eaten candied haws on a stick since he grew up, but today, he made a rare exception. Not only did he eat candied haws, but he also wore a bunny hat as the crazy swordsman Tassel Hai, which he had never dared to think about before. Perhaps, being with children brings back the childlike innocence.
Later, I heard Po Kong yelling: "There's a problem. There's something wrong with this machine. It can't be caught no matter how hard it is. It must be malfunctioning."
At this time, a voice sounded.
"Can I try?" Suddenly, an unknown little girl said.
"You try, you come, you come as you please." Po Kong said with excitement on his face.
Two minutes later, the child left with three big dolls in his hands.
Su Hai, Po Kong, Yang Xiaoran and others had black lines on their faces, messy in the wind.
