The Kingdom of Jin was in complete chaos, and it was already in disarray without Daxia and Liao taking action.
The Wanyan family was torn apart and divided into three camps. One stood unconditionally with Wanyan Ping, holding up the banner of so-called righteousness and denounced the other camps. The other two, one is the old group left by Wanyan and Wen. Although Wanyan and Wen are gone, these people have not dispersed. They still want to welcome back the orthodoxy of the Wanyan family, that is, to welcome Wanyan. Yan Xi came back and succeeded to the throne. The last camp neither surrendered to Wanyanping nor Wanyanxi. They had elite soldiers and remained neutral. They would consider siding with anyone who offered generous terms.
In addition to guarding against their own people, the Wanyan family also has to guard against several other tribes. These guys have never been convinced by the Wanyan family. The reason why they have been so honest in the past many years is nothing more than the previous golden kings. The methods are tough, and once the spear point is revealed, there is no mercy at all. He just talks with a big knife and beats anyone who is honest. Compared with them, Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping are scum, so these people are ready to act. Not only do they have thoughts that they shouldn't have, but they also take action.
"Not only does it occupy half of Yiqing Prefecture, but also several prefectures and counties around Yiqing Prefecture? The power of these tribes... is a bit too big, right? I knew before that they all raised private soldiers. They didn't expect the scale to be so large and the troops to be so strong, and it was quite beyond the Wanyan family's expectations. They probably thought it was an internal dispute within the family before, and never thought that other tribes would take advantage of it, right?" Shen Cha yawned, While reading the thick battle report, he would take a sip of strong tea from time to time to prevent himself from falling asleep. "Wanyanping has occupied the palace, and those who support Wanyanxi have occupied the eastern part of Yiqing Mansion. These two places are not easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"The palace is more difficult to capture, and it will take some time." Jin Jing lay on the table, supporting her head with her hands, yawning, and said, "Although the Wanyan family's prospects are not good, there is plenty of food and grass. , basically all the grain depots are within the Wanyan family’s sphere of influence, if they can hold on until Wanyanxi brings the Liao soldiers back, the situation like the change of ownership of the Jin Kingdom probably won’t happen.”
Since the chaos in the Jin Kingdom, battle reports have been like snowflakes some time ago, floating continuously from Yiqing Mansion to other countries. There is no need for spies to convey news at all, not in big wars, but in small battles of more than a dozen a day. Yes, Yiqing Mansion is already in a mess. Although it is not to the point of forcibly recruiting soldiers, the daily battles between all parties have also plunged the lives of the people into dire straits.
The spies sent out by various countries had already withdrawn to a safe place at the beginning of the fight between the several parties. With the fight now like this, the news cannot be suppressed even if they want to. Therefore, Yiqing Mansion no longer needs them, they need attention. What is important is the true strength of all parties, collect information from all parties and send it back to the country as quickly as possible.
The various border crossings bordering the Kingdom of Jin have also entered a state of intense preparation to prevent the influx of refugees. Miraculously, what they were most worried about did not happen. Although the war in the country was like a hot kiln, the important border towns of the Jin Kingdom were strictly guarded. The guards were tighter than before, not to mention the refugees in the Jin Kingdom. Even trading merchants are prohibited from entering or exiting.
"Xiaojing is right. The Wanyan family is so easy to lose. Those tribes are powerful, but they are certainly not monolithic. It is hard to say whether they have the Wanyan family's nails in them. Moreover, these tribes are very powerful. The tribes must have different thoughts. They are now united to deal with the Wanyan family. Once the Wanyan family falls, they will fight to the death for the throne."
"So, you must conserve your strength at this time, lest your trump cards are revealed and you are at a disadvantage." Shen Cha nodded, "If I am not wrong, did Wan Yanping use his elite men before? Have they all been sent out?"
"Well! If these people receive the news and return to King Qin of Yiqing Prefecture, those tribes may not be able to get any benefits. Having more people does not mean superior strength. Wanyanping's soldiers cannot be underestimated, let alone one enemy. One hundred, that's about it." Shen Haolin also drank a cup of strong tea, rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily, "The current situation will be reversed. As for Wanyanping's profit, those who support Wanyanxi will come back. , then it depends on whose side the neutral team will side with."
"I think no one on that team wants to stand." Xue Ruitian sneered, "They must want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then..."
"Is the mantis stalking the cicada? It's not impossible." Shen Cha rubbed his eyes, put the battle reports away after reading them, put them under the desk, and picked up a new pile, "Now we are waiting for Wanyan Zong to close. As long as he closes his eyes, it won't be such a small fight now. What a pity for the people of the Jin Kingdom. Just after the floods and snow disasters, they thought that good times were coming, but they have to bear the disaster of war again. "
"That's true, but even if we don't fight, we won't be able to live a good life. It's better to have a good fight. Either we will destroy the country or find a wise master, and maybe we can still live the good life we expected. . However, neither of these two goals is so easy to achieve." Xue Ruitian stood up and walked around the military tent. He looked at Jin Jing, who was so sleepy that her eyelids were clenched but still holding on, and kicked her gently. Kick him, "I said, why don't you go back and sleep for a while, it's not a problem to carry you like this all the time. And Xiaocha, you also go back to sleep, it's been a month since the Jin Kingdom was in chaos. , I just make do in the big tent every day, and only sleep for one or two hours every day, and I don’t even have time to have a peaceful sleep." He walked around twice and sat back again, "You said, if someone fights at home, we will follow them. Are you tired of messing around?"
"Since we took over the Shen Jiajun, haven't we done this every year? We are used to it, but this year is special. We should pay attention to them when they beat them, and it is okay to cause trouble appropriately, right? "Shen Haolin smiled, looked at Shen Cha who was still flipping through the battle report quickly, and winked at Xue Ruiqiang, "Cha'er, take your time and watch, Xiaotian and I will go out and take a breath."
"Okay!" Shen Cha did not doubt that he was there, picked up Shen Haolin's cloak, stood up and put it on him, "It's cold outside, brother and Xiaotian, don't stay too long."
"Okay!" Shen Haolin tidied Shen Cha's hair, "If you're sleepy, just take a nap, it won't delay anything important." He looked at Jin Jing, who was already sleeping on the table, "This guy has calmed down. I haven’t closed my eyes for three days in a row.”
"Brother Xiaojing is afraid of leaking any important news. In fact, at this stage, it has little to do with us. We just want to see the other party's true strength and focus on what they retain or hide." Shen Cha gave Shen Haolin the He picked up a hand stove and said, "Brother doesn't say anything, and even if Brother Xiaojing doesn't say anything, I know that he wants to help me and prevent me from being so tired."
"Be good!" Shen Haolin pinched Shen Cha's face, "We're leaving. We'll be back soon."
Watching Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian leave the tent, Shen Cha sat down and read the battle report for a while, took a sip of tea and whispered softly.
"Everyone has gone away, stop pretending." She looked at Jin Jing, who was suddenly awake, and raised her eyebrows, "They are all caring about you, why are you pretending to be asleep?"
"If I don't pretend to be asleep, do I have to listen to them continue to chatter in my ear?" Jin Jing stretched out, picked up the teapot on the small stove, got herself a cup of hot tea, and held it in her hands. He took two sips slowly in his hand and said, "I'm really not sleepy. You also know that I get very excited when I encounter such a situation."
"Watching the excitement is not too big a deal. The more lively they play, the happier and more excited you are. Brother Xiaojing, I really don't understand your idea." Shen Cha looked at Jin Jing with a look of disgust, stretched out his hand and She took out a small bag under the table and threw it to him, "Miaomiao stuffed the snacks into me and told me that when you are not in a good mood, I will give you something to eat. But I see you like this, you don't seem to be in high spirits either." Good times, isn’t it?”
"The one who knows me is Xiaocha." Jin Jing opened the small paper bag, took out a piece of glutinous rice cake and took a bite, "Speaking of which, the current situation is still very complicated. I can't figure it out at all. Let's just watch the fun unfold. The more fun they make, the better it will be for us." He looked outside the tent and then at Shen Cha, "Do you know what they were doing?"
"Aren't you talking about taking a breather?" Shen Cha blinked, "Isn't that right?"
"Since you don't know, then I won't tell you anything." Jin Jing smiled mischievously, "Lest I spill the beans and someone comes to settle the score with me later!"
