Xiao Heng's guess was confirmed in the following days.
In mid-August, news came from Tianshan Pass that the Jin army was heading east.
Two days later, news of Liang Guo's army going east also came from Yanmen Pass.
The Han family and the Nangong family were still on their way and did not arrive at the border so soon. They should have contacted the border guards through their confidants.
Tianshan Pass was garrisoned by the troops of the Han family, while Yanmen Gate was garrisoned by the troops of the Nangong family. Although there were other generals, the general was the confidant of the two families, and it was almost 800 miles away to rush to report the arrival of the two. The strength of the family quickly cleared the obstacles and controlled the situation at the border.
When the information reached the capital of Dayan, the monarch was so angry that he smashed all the inkstones in the imperial study!
A room of eunuchs and court ladies fell to their knees in fright.
Zhang Dequan also didn't dare to let out the air.
Who would have guessed that when the Han family was captured and the crown prince was imprisoned, there would still be a case where the two great families would join forces for a rebellion
To say that they were much more arrogant than the Xuanyuan family back then.
The Xuanyuan family did not rebel because they committed a crime and were afraid of being caught.
It was only after learning of the secret agreement between the monarch and the two countries of Jin and Liang that they decided to rebel.
At that time, there were only the monarch, Xuanyuan Li, and Zhang Dequan who served tea in the imperial study.
Zhang Dequan still feels deafened when he recalls Xuanyuan Li's indignant words.
Xuanyuan Li said: "Shangguan Jingyang, do you really think that the Xuanyuan family is your biggest threat? In order to get rid of the Xuanyuan family, you will not hesitate to seek skin with a tiger! One day you will regret it!"
After sixteen years, Xuanyuan Li's words finally came true.
The ambitions of Jin and Liang can no longer be concealed, but now Dayan has lost the millions of heroes of the Xuanyuan family, so what will they use to fight against the forces of the two great kingdoms
Not to mention that the Han family and the Nangong family also took away nearly half of their troops!
How will this battle be fought
What chance does it have!
If Xuanyuan Li was still alive, and all the sons of Xuanyuan's family were still alive, he might be able to fight a battle where less wins more.
But, they all died.
Since the Han family revealed his true colors, the monarch has not spent a day without regrets, whether it is internal or external trouble, as long as the Xuanyuan family is there, there will not be so many evil spirits.
He was afraid of Xuanyuan's family merits, and he would destroy the entire Xuanyuan family for a prophecy.
But in the end, Dayan's country still fell into a precarious situation!
The monarch took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions: "I still have a large army, as well as the strength of the Wang family and Mu family, and the black wind cavalry... I may not lose..."
"Report-"
Outside the imperial study, there was suddenly the sound of a scout's urgent report.
"Xuan!" The king said sternly.
Zhang Dequan announced the spies into the imperial study.
More than one scout came.
"Report to Your Majesty, Cang Xueguan urgently reports that the army of Chen Guo is advancing towards the east!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I made a detailed discovery of the Zhao army!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chishui Pass has discovered the army of Zhao Kingdom!"
Of the six kingdoms in the world, there are already five countries marching in the state of Yan.
This is no longer the aggression of Jin and Liang. Even the three lower countries took advantage of the fire to rob and bite away a piece of Yan's fat.
If in the past, Zhao, Chen, and Zhao would naturally not have the courage, but now the news of the Jin and Liang Chao Dayan sending troops has already shocked the world, and the "good news" of the Han family and the Nangong family defecting has not been concealed from the eyes of spies from all over the world.
If you don't have a share of the pie at this time, when will you wait
The king's blood surged, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and fell to the ground and fainted!
Zhang Dequan hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, and then asked someone to invite Gu Jiao, Shangguan Yan, and Xiao Heng into the palace.
To be honest, things have developed here, which is indeed a bit unexpected.
Originally thought that if the Han family was stopped, a civil war could be stopped, and without the consumption of the civil war, Jin and Liang would not easily confront Yan.
Unexpectedly, the Han family and the Nangong family joined forces to rebel, which not only brought civil strife, but also directly knocked down all the borders of Dayan, turning the aggression between the two countries into a five-nation plunder.
In the dream, Zhao Kingdom, Chen Kingdom, and Zhao Kingdom never participated in the division of Yan Kingdom, because at that time there was only a pair of skins left in Yan Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom and Liang Kingdom could easily win.
At the moment, Dayan's soldiers are strong and strong, and the loss is certain, but it is bound to be a fierce battle, and there is no time to take care of Dayan's eastern border.
"This situation turned out to be even more serious than in a dream."
Gu Jiao has had so many foreshadowing dreams, this is the most out of control.
Will everyone still go to the end of the dream
The carriage arrived at the palace.
The monarch had just suffered a small stroke and was rescued by the imperial doctor in time. He looked very haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years in a day.
He lay on the bright yellow dragon bed, his breath wandering like silk.
He tasted the taste of remorse, but also the bitter fruit of retribution.
Gu Jiao checked his body, and there is no fear of life, but in a short period of time, his body will not be able to recover as neatly as before.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng could see that he had something to say to Shangguan Yan, and they turned around and walked out.
Zhang Dequan also retreated with the palace servants.
Only the father and daughter were left in the huge bedroom.
Shangguan Yan stood in front of the dragon bed, looked at the old and powerless monarch, and asked, "Do you regret it?"
The monarch's lips twitched twice, and a trace of remorse flashed in his cloudy eyes, but he was stubborn on the bottom, unwilling to admit that he had been frivolous.
But he had already regretted it.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would regret it so thoroughly.
It was not the Xuanyuan family who took away the luck of the Great Yan Jiangshan, but himself.
He wiped out the Xuanyuan family and Dayan's most solid barrier.
Dayan became the fish on the chopping board, and even Xiaguo raised the butcher's knife in his hand towards Dayan.
He recalled in his heart countless times, if the Xuanyuan family was still there, who would dare to attack!
"Keep... keep..."
He opened his mouth and said something forcefully. He had just had a stroke, and his voice was low and unclear.
"Do you want me to keep Dayan?" Shangguan Yan said indifferently, "I won't promise you."
"Sex, life..."
What he said was, save your life and run away.
Dayan is going to die.
Dayan's concubine will not end well.
Leave with two kids and never come back.
King Dayan looked in the direction of the door. The door was half open. From his angle, he couldn't see Xiao Heng's people, only Xiao Heng's shadow on the ground.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, but in the end did not call out the name.
-
Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng squatted on the ground, Xiao Heng broke a branch and drew a map of the Six Kingdoms.
Xiao Heng pointed at the map and said, "Yan country is in the middle, the north is the ice field, and the south is Chishui. The west border is bordered by Jin and Liang. These three countries form a thorny trend."
Gu Jiao understood: "That's why the State of Jin attracted the State of Liang at the beginning, in order to prevent the State of Liang and the State of Yan from becoming allies."
Xiao Heng nodded: "That's right."
"What about the east side?" Gu Jiao asked.
Xiao Heng tapped the two small circles on the map with a branch, and said, "To the east is the State of Chen and the State of Zhao, the State of Chen is in the northeast, the State of Zhao is in the southeast, and the State of Zhao is the farthest, so it is necessary to bypass the State of Chen. "
Gu Jiao asked, "The Tianshan Pass that blocks the Jin State is guarded by the Han family, and the Yanmen Pass that blocks the Liang Kingdom is guarded by the Nangong family... What about the Chen and Zhao states?"
Xiao Heng said: "Cangxue Pass is guarded by the troops of the Mu family to prevent the iron cavalry of Chen State from attacking; Chishui Pass is guarded by the troops of the Wang family to prevent the invasion of the navy of the State of Zhao. If the State of Zhao wants to attack the State of Yan, the best way is to go around it. Passing through Chen State and going through Changping Pass in the icefield, this place is guarded by the local garrison.”
Gu Jiao paused: "Zhao country is the farthest, they didn't come so quickly."
Xiao Heng looked at the map and said, "From the distance and marching speed, the army of Jin and Liang is the fastest, followed by the navy of Zhao, and then the iron cavalry of Chen."
Gu Jiao said again, "Who is Zhao Guo leading the army?"
Xiao Heng pondered: "To cross Chishui, you need a navy escort. If there is no accident, it will be my father, the Marquis of Xuanping."
Gu Jiao: "..."
To fight or not to fight
"Where's Chen Guo?" Gu Jiao asked.
Xiao Heng thought for a while: "Although there is no definite news from Chen Guo, Chen Guo just suffered a defeat last year. In order to boost the morale of the army, Yuan Tang should go out to fight in person."
As for who Zhao State will lead, Xiao Heng is not very clear, he does not know Zhao State very well.
But what is certain is that it is absolutely impossible for the State of Yan to deal with the conquest of the five countries at the same time.
Gu Jiao asked curiously, "His Majesty Yuan Tang and Zhao Guo don't even know that we are in Yan country. If they know that they are fighting with us...then do they still fight or not?"
Xiao Heng looked at her fixedly: "You... are you going to fight?"
Gu Jiao squatted on the ground and drew circles. After a snort, she said calmly, "I'm the commander of the Heifeng Battalion. I should be able to fight, right?"
The commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Rider can do it at any time if he wants to.
Xiao Heng opened his mouth: "You..."
"It's not all about you and the headroom."
Gu Jiao understood what he wanted to say, and she looked up at the endless sky.
"I just thought, I should do it."
It's a little bit of Calvin, everyone will come and see it in the afternoon.
