The news instantly spread throughout Chu with lightning speed.
The spies arranged by Daqi also brought the news to the Daqi royal family.
Emperor Qi was elated when he saw it, "God is really helping us in Da Qi. Now Da Chu is in chaos and facing defeat. Isn't this God giving us a chance?"
"We should seize this God-given opportunity. There is no need to tangle with Zhao Xifeng and the others, and we can directly lead our troops to conquer it."
"Even if they can't defeat Da Chu this time, they must still be taught that their vitality will be severely damaged and they will surrender obediently to my feet!"
The two countries have checked and balanced each other for many years, and have never been equal.
Now that he has a rare opportunity to suppress the opponent and dominate his position, how can he not be happy?
I wish I could lead my troops in person right away and approach the border of Da Chu!
Qi Yun also smiled and said: "Father is really wise!"
"Waiting to strike while the iron is hot and taking advantage of the victory is indeed a rare opportunity!"
He suddenly stood up and raised his fist: "Father, I am willing to personally lead the troops to increase the military power, lead the army to defeat Da Chu, and win a glorious victory for our Da Qi!"
Qi Emperor Qi Wanli had a look of relief on his face: "You are worthy of being my son. He has the talent of a general at a young age. He will definitely be able to go further in the future."
"It's just that this time the matter is very important, and you need to bring one more person with you."
Qi Yun's mind was spinning quickly and he asked tentatively: "Is the father talking about Zhou Tianfu?"
"That's right. Although the old fox is old, his brain works very fast."
"If you can let him act as a military advisor by your side, arrange troops and direct battles."
"With his knowledge of the terrain and terrain of Da Chu, he will be of great benefit to your invasion of the enemy country!"
In fact, Qi Yun also had this intention.
Don't be afraid that Zhou Tianfu will be disobedient, after all, there is Zhou Ji.
That kind of stupid idiot who is greedy for life and fear of death is related by blood to an old fox like Zhou Tianfu. Keeping him as a hostage is the best choice!
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tianfu received the order.
Qi Yun informed him personally.
Zhou Tianfu was slightly frightened: "Your Highness, although Dachu is in chaos, it still has a century-old foundation. Please think twice before you act!"
Qi Yun sneered: "What you are saying, does it mean that my Daji has only five hundred years of foundation and does not have strong strength?"
"You are unmoved by such a good opportunity. How long will you wait for it?"
He glanced at Zhou Tianfu coldly: "Or are you saying, Mr. Zhou, that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are you cowardly now?"
"We are all brave and good at fighting, and we are never greedy for life or afraid of death."
"If Mr. Zhou is like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Daqi!"
The naked threat suddenly shocked Zhou Tianfu.
Does he still have room to refute?
Absolutely not!
After gritting his teeth, he could only bite the bullet and agree.
After Qi Yun left, Zhou Ji knelt down beside him, crying and saying, "Dad, I don't want to stay here alone. There are all wolves, tigers and leopards here."
"If you are not around, what if they attack me..."
Zhou Tianfu kicked him in anger, "Useless thing!"
"If you stay here as a hostage, you are your father's and my weakness. If you behave like a decent person, how can they be willing to touch you?"
I wonder why I gave birth to such a stupid son despite being so smart all my life?
Now that I am old, I don’t have the chance to start over again.
Sighing lightly, he pulled Zhou Ji up: "Don't blame this for being so embarrassing."
"Remember, always pay attention to the news of the war ahead. If the war situation is unfavorable, you can take the money we saved and secretly contact the dark village to leave here."
"Da Qi is a bunch of reckless men. If anything goes wrong on the battlefield, they will definitely get angry at you."
Zhou Tianfu felt bitter in his heart.
Since he was able to become a powerful official and manipulate Chu Yanwu with applause, he was not afraid of him.
What really made him fearful was the person who pulled him down from his high position: Xiao Chen!
Even after all this time, he still wakes up from nightmares every night.
Hate and fear were intertwined, which was why he didn't want to go into battle.
Unfortunately, there are risks in being reused.
Now, the risk is here!
Da Qi mobilized and mobilized troops from all over the country in a short period of time, and in the blink of an eye, they had increased their troops by 300,000.
Led by Prince Qi Yun, he led the army towards Chu.
Zhao Xifeng received the news immediately from the front line and was shocked: "After all, the news can't be hidden, and this time Daqi can't sit still at all."
He suddenly missed Xiao Chen: "If General Zhendong were here, he wouldn't have put us in such a passive situation."
Zhao Xifeng couldn't help but sneer at himself, "It's ridiculous to say that this general has been winning battles for half his life, but now he is facing an unsolvable dilemma and is at a loss."
He knew that since Da Qi decided to deal with Da Chu, he would be the first to attack them in demonstration.
So the first battle is definitely for me!
The military advisor said: "General, please obey the authority when the matter is urgent. How about we lead the army to retreat quickly?"
"Are you kidding me? If we retreat, won't we allow them to push even further and harass my territory of Da Chu!"
One step forward is a matter of life and death, and one step back is the road to this life.
Zhao Xifeng had a stubborn temper and would rather die than surrender.
"You know, I never fight for the emperor, but for the entire Chu, so I absolutely cannot retreat, even if I stand and drink my flesh and blood."
He squeezed his shoulders tightly, ignoring the pain from the wound, and gathered the troops outside.
At this time, a man hurriedly came to report: "General, the Ninth Prince is coming with 100,000 reinforcements!"
Hearing the news, Zhao Xifeng was overjoyed: "Reinforcements have arrived!"
But in an instant, he realized a serious question: "The Ninth Prince is leading troops to help?"
The Ninth Prince... This is a royal family that is almost forgotten.
Because of her mother's low status, she was looked down upon even as a royal.
He has never had a chance to show his face, and now he is the one sending troops to support him?
The military advisor said: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the turmoil in the imperial court. After all, everyone has said that the emperor is no longer able to have children..."
Now, the whole court is eager to establish a prince as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it was to dispel the covetousness of the clans and clans, and on the other hand, it was also to calm the panic among the people in the court.
Zhao Xifeng did not hesitate so much and stepped forward to greet him personally.
Although the two exchanged polite greetings, Zhao Xifeng explained the situation at hand.
The person involved was dumbfounded: "What, Da Qi wants to take advantage of the turmoil in the court to sneak in and launch a massive attack!"
His pupils widened, and he was a little annoyed for a moment: "I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. It seems that the reinforcements arrived just by chance."
"However, Da Qi is very aggressive this time. We currently have a total of 200,000 troops, but I don't know if we can compete with its 300,000."
Zhao Xifeng sneered: "Even if they can't be defeated, at least they can stop them from having the energy to step into my great Chu realm!"
