When Emperor Yu heard Guo Jia's statement, his eyes suddenly shone brightly. He looked deeply at the frail young man in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
"So, what is Sir's plan?"
"Your Majesty!" Guo Jia's speech became much slower: "If Dayu wants to be strong and prosperous, he must control the four directions. Since Duke Jing's victory in the north, he has won successive victories in the east and south."
"In this way, I, Dayu, have been temporarily stable, but within three years, the Mobei Bayi tribe will definitely make a comeback, and Donghuai will also be able to recuperate and march westward."
"The Southern Barbarians are not extinct. Give them a year or two and they can raise hundreds of thousands more cavalry."
"Even if I, Dayu, can develop in these three or two years, will I be able to cope with the conquests from all directions by then?"
"Perhaps it can be done, but over and over again, you will perish if you fight for a long time."
Guo Jia had a determined look on his face. Even though the person sitting in front of him was His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Kingdom of Yu, he did not show the slightest restraint or fear.
There was also a look of contemplation on Emperor Yu's face. After a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Sir's words are not unreasonable. Whether it is the Mobei Bayi tribe or the ancient southern barbarian country, it does not take three years, but only one season of good weather and good weather. The grass is thick and lush, and it will definitely attack me again.”
"So, if we can take advantage of this opportunity and capture Donghuai in one fell swoop, I, the Great Yu, can lean on the East China Sea and engulf the Central Plains."
"Donghuai?"
Emperor Yu's expression suddenly changed, and there was a huge wave in his heart. It turned out that his plan had never been to defeat Dayan's main force, but had already set his sights on the east.
What a big game of chess!
"Sir, are you so sure that I, Dayu, will win this battle?"
"Your Majesty, everything depends on human effort."
Guo Jia still looked calm and said calmly: "The common people have sent word to Zhuge Liang that Kong Ming will change his route to the Li Kingdom for this trip. As long as Da Yan is defeated in the west, Empress Da Li will definitely launch a counterattack to regain the lost land. "
"At that time, our army can take advantage of the situation to advance eastward and destroy Donghuai in one fell swoop."
Emperor Yu pondered for a long time, tapping the dragon table with his knuckles, and said calmly: "If you take a long step, it will easily pull the egg."
"His Majesty!"
A secret voice came from behind the scenes of the hall. Emperor Yu waved his hand, and Jiannan strode forward, slightly cupping his hand.
"Victory from the East."
"oh?"
A bright light flashed in Emperor Yu's eyes, and he saw Jiannan taking out a good news from his sleeve and handing it over, and said in a deep voice: "General Yue led 10,000 light cavalry deep into Donghuai, and attacked the two cities in three days. The main force of Donghuai intends to withdraw its troops back. We wanted to send reinforcements, but were held back by Duke Ping’s army.”
"good!"
Emperor Yu's face showed a hint of joy. He opened the victory report and browsed it quickly. He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Submon Li Jin, and defeat Da Yan's main army at all costs."
"I want this battle to make Da Yan dare not invade for three years!"
"promise!"
After Jian Nan's figure left, Emperor Yu's calm eyes shone with a faint light. He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, let's see how the battlefield in the Western Region ends!"
…
Hanging Sword Pass.
On the broken city tower, blood-soaked figures stood proudly, looking decisively at the fierce enemy troops in front of them.
In front of the city gate, ramming vehicles were bombarding the city gate heavily. Archers were arrayed a hundred steps away, raining arrows on the city tower. Fifty feet away, catapults were loading stones...
"General, we can't hold it anymore... let's withdraw!"
"Get out of here!"
Chang An cursed and glared at the deputy general, and shouted in a deep voice: "His Highness is about to arrive, how can we abandon the barrier and run away?"
"After I go back, how will I face His Majesty, how will I face the court, and how will I face the thousands of people of Yu the Great?"
"If people are locked up, people will die if the barrier is broken. If these Yan bastards want to break through my Xuanjian Pass, they will definitely step over our corpses."
"But General..."
The deputy general's tears mixed with blood fell down his cheek. He stretched out his blood-stained fingers and looked around: "Look, our soldiers are almost dead or injured!"
"Leave a seed for our Zhenxi Army!"
"We have to ask a few of our brothers who are alive to go back and send a message home!"
Chang An raised his head, tears streaming down his face, but the Da Yan soldiers in front of him didn't give him any chance to feel sad, and slashed at him with their long swords.
"Keng!"
"die!"
Chang An wielded the broken sword and chopped down several enemy soldiers in front of him. His eyes glanced around and landed on a thin figure, and he strode over.
"Hello!"
"That kid...why are you staring at me? He's calling you!"
Chang An looked at the young man with broken armor and green face in front of him, and tried hard to soften his fierce face: "Are you more than ten years old?"
"sixteen!"
"Are you married to your wife?"
"Go back and marry!"
"Damn it, you kid still wants to go back..."
Chang An was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped and said calmly: "I will give you a task. You must complete it at all costs!"
"General, tell me!"
"Go, rush back to the capital as quickly as possible, hold my token, and report to the court that Xuanjian Pass has been lost. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"General!" The young man looked anxious: "Aren't there scouts to deliver the news?"
"I still want to stay here and kill the enemy."
As he spoke, he rushed forward with a sudden lunge, and the tip of his sword pierced the heart of a Dayan soldier accurately. He turned his head and looked at Chang An and said: "Let whoever you love go, I won't go."
Chang An suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at the corpses around him, and asked softly: "How many have been killed?"
"Hey, no more, no less, exactly ten."
"Good boy..."
A look of appreciation appeared on Chang An's face, and then he said with a straight face: "The people from the scout camp have been sent out now. This matter is related to the life and death of Dayu, and we cannot be willful."
"Execute military orders!"
"promise!"
The young man respectfully performed a military salute, put away his sword reluctantly, and glanced around. When he saw Yan's army all over the city, he couldn't help but look startled, and his eyes rolled, but they didn't stop after all. Hold the tear valve.
Seeing the tears falling down, the young man stubbornly turned his head and wiped it with his hand, and choked with sobs: "What happens next?"
"What?"
"I mean... what about after sending the message?"
"Mom, can you please speak louder, like a mother-in-law!"
"After reporting to the Ming court, go..."
Chang An was stunned for a moment before he finished speaking, and then said: "Go back and marry a wife, and have a few fat boys!"
"Tch, do you need to worry about it?"
The young man muttered, wiped his tears at last, turned around and ran towards the bottom of the city tower resolutely. Chang An stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "That bastard, tell me what your name is!"
"Please remember, young master, this general is the commander of the Guards Battalion of the Zhenxi Army, Ji Jiu!"
"This melon boy... is actually a corps commander!"
Chang An grinned with a smile like an old father's. His eyes looked at the several Yanjun who rushed up to the tower, and his eyes became extremely cold again.
