On the border of the Western Regions, a Liao army of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses appeared.

The marshal who led the Liao army to the Western Regions was a middle-aged man in his forties named "Qin Wentai", who was the Minister of War of the Liao Kingdom and a fifth-grade Confucian and Taoist scholar.

The person who served as deputy commander was named "Ke Changyuan", who was also in his forties and was a bachelor from a semi-sage family in the Liao Kingdom.

"Brother Changyuan is really wise. The grassland tribe will indeed use the city to exchange Hu Chiyou with the Yun Kingdom. As long as we take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the city, then these cities can be included in the territory of our Liao Kingdom. Once the matter is completed, I will

I will take credit for you." Qin Wentai said happily.

"Haha... It's just a small plan, what's the big deal?"

Ke Changyuan said proudly: "With the withdrawal of the Prairie Tribe, as long as the Yun State's army does not formally occupy it, it will still be regarded as the territory of the Prairie Tribe. The Yun State is unable to regain the lost territory. It is natural and right for us, the Liao State, to take it."

"Brother Changyuan's words make sense."

Qin Wentai nodded slightly, and then said with some fear: "According to the report from the spies, Yun State has created a new type of weapon, which seems to be very powerful. We have to guard against it!"

Ke Changyuan showed contempt on his face and said very disapprovingly: "Brother Wentai, don't worry too much. No matter what the Yun State has created, at this juncture, the Yun State does not dare to have a head-on conflict with our Liao State, because once the Yun State

If we completely break up with our Liao Kingdom, our Liao Kingdom can use this as an excuse to declare war on the Yun Kingdom. At that time, the Yun Kingdom will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. Therefore, even if the Yun Kingdom is dissatisfied, it can only swallow its anger."<

/p>

"Having said that, the city of Yun State really has no strategic value to us. Even if we occupy the city in the Western Region, we will be sandwiched between the Yun State and the Prairie Tribe." Qin Wentai was slightly worried.

"Brother Wentai, don't think too much. We are the army of the Liao Kingdom. As long as we plant the flag of the Liao Kingdom on the city wall, the grassland people will not dare to go to war with us, the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, the grassland people will suffer the revenge of the Liao Kingdom.

, and the grassland tribe and the Yun Kingdom have already become enemies, and they are even less likely to join forces to attack us, the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, we can safely occupy the cities in the Western Regions."

Ke Changyuan's analysis made most people agree.

"Although the cities in the Western Region have no strategic value to our Liao Kingdom, they can severely damage the face of the Yun Kingdom. If the Yun Kingdom wants to maintain the territorial integrity of the Yun Kingdom, it must ask our Liao Kingdom to make an exchange. We can take this opportunity to lion

Open your mouth and bite off a piece of meat from the Yun Kingdom. Even if we return the Yun Kingdom's city, the Yun Kingdom will not be able to fight against the grassland people."

Ke Changyuan's face was full of pride, feeling that everything was under his control.

Once upon a time, Ke Jiawen of the Liao Kingdom fought against Suzhou of the Yun Kingdom, losing ten games in a row and suffering humiliation.

Now, Ke Changyuan wants to help the Liao Kingdom capture the Yun Kingdom's city and slap the Yun Kingdom hard in the face, making them regret severing diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom.

We should also let Yun Guo know that Liao Guo cannot be bullied, let alone humiliated.

Anyone who dares to humiliate the Liao Kingdom will eventually pay a heavy price for what they have done.

Thinking of this, Ke Changyuan's face lit up and he smiled from ear to ear.

"The Yun Kingdom must repay tenfold the shameful humiliation our Ke family has suffered!"

Ke Changyuan was really happy in his heart. As long as he could hit Yun Guo, he would put Yun Guo into greater danger and he would not be able to turn around no matter what.

A spy came and said: "Marshal Qi, the latest investigation news is that the Yun State has quickly sent troops to the city where the grassland people have evacuated. It seems that they are going to occupy the city in the Western Region before our army."

After the words fell, many people in Liao changed their expressions.

The people of the Yun Kingdom finally discovered their intentions, so they mobilized troops to occupy the territory that originally belonged to the Yun Kingdom.

"The spies of the Yun Kingdom have discovered us, so the Yun Kingdom's army will quickly march towards the cities in the Western Regions."

Qin Wentai said loudly: "Instruct the three armies to speed up and seize the city that the grassland tribe has evacuated!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Liao army immediately accelerated its march and competed with the Yun Kingdom for control of the cities in the Western Region.

…………

After the soldiers and horses of the grassland tribe withdrew from the city in the Western Region, the armies of the Yun Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom immediately seized it.

After a race against time, the Yun Kingdom regained the seventh, sixth and fifth cities, while the Liao Kingdom occupied the fourth and third cities.

The Second City and the First City are still in the hands of the Prairie Tribe.

In the hall of the fifth city.

The generals of the Yun Kingdom gathered together, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very complicated.

Although they captured three cities at an extremely fast speed, two cities still fell into the hands of the Liao Kingdom.

This is simply a slap in the face for Yun Guo.

"Bang!"

King Yan slapped the eucalyptus table, his face full of sadness and anger.

"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"

"The Liao Kingdom dared to rob our Yun Kingdom's city in broad daylight. They were simply trampling on the dignity of the Yun Kingdom and humiliating the Yun Kingdom soldiers who died on the battlefield!"

"We are both human beings. Even if there are conflicts in the literary circles of the two countries, we cannot do the tyrannical thing of occupying the magpie's nest. What do they think of our Yun country? We are soft persimmons who can be manipulated at will!"

"It really makes me angry! It makes me angry!"

King Yan kept patting the eucalyptus table and shouting filial piety. He was not only angry, but also sad. He was sad for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to resist the grassland people.

If we can't regain the lost ground, how can we be worthy of their souls in heaven?

The King of Yan simply couldn't stand the Liao State bullying the Yun State in this way. How could he have the face to return to the court as a teacher in the future? How could he have the honor to meet the people of the Yun State?

"Damn it, these Liao people dare to be so provocative. King Yan, I am willing to lead an elite force to capture the city and let the Liao army know how powerful we are!" One person said angrily.

"No!"

Some people's expressions changed with surprise and they hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive. Once we lead troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, we will definitely break with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom will use this as an excuse to declare war on the Yun Kingdom. We, the Yun Kingdom, have already suffered on three sides and cannot make any more enemies."

Otherwise, the treasury will collapse and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Damn it! The people of the Liao Kingdom just believe that our Yun Kingdom dare not go to war with the Liao Kingdom, so they will unscrupulously occupy the city that belongs to our Yun Kingdom. It is simply disgusting!" Someone roared.

"Can we really just watch the territory of the Yun Kingdom being occupied by the Liao Kingdom, and we can't do anything? I'm not willing to accept it!"

"If we attack the Liao army, Liao will have an excuse to declare war on Yun. But if we swallow our anger, our city will be occupied by Liao. What should we do?"

"No matter what choice we make, things will not be easy to handle!"

At this moment, all the soldiers were in trouble.

"Hey..."

King Yan also sighed. He wished he could order the Yun State army to drive the Liao soldiers and horses out of the Yun State border. But after all, he was the prince of the Yun State. He also had a heavy responsibility when he came to fight against the grassland people and could not act on his own initiative.

Du Ning said: "I heard that the Liao Kingdom's army is well-trained and well-equipped. If we can take their equipment as our own, wouldn't we, the Yun Kingdom, be more confident in pacifying the grassland tribes?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone changed their colors.

What a good guy, I actually came up with the idea of ​​​​Liao Kingdom equipment.

Even King Yan wouldn’t dare to think so!

"Master Du, what are you talking nonsense about? You...don't you want to start a war with the Liao Kingdom?"

"Don't be impulsive, this is no joke!"

"Calm down! You must calm down!"

Everyone tried to persuade him, fearing that Du Ning would do something irreversible.

Du Ning is the commander of the artillery battalion and has two thousand elite troops at his disposal.

With the help of the artillery battalion and several bachelors by his side, Duning is really capable of attacking any city.

"I'm calm."

Du Ning said: "Everyone, with all due respect, if we attack the Liao army directly, it will be enough to wipe out their entire army. And once we obtain the equipment of the Liao army, our combat effectiveness will be doubled instantly. This is a resource that cannot be wasted.

."

"I will never agree!"

King Yan said: "Du Ning, I understand your mood at this moment. You have the secret cannon in hand, and it will be easy to destroy the Liao army. But you must also consider that the Liao country is a big country after all. Once a war starts, the two countries will fight!"

”

"Then fight!"

Du Ning Dayi Lingran said: "The Liao Kingdom has already kicked their noses in the face, what can be tolerated? If we tolerate it this time, next time they will not just occupy our city."

"Your Majesty, please give the order to attack the Liao army. I promise that no matter what kind of dogs occupy our city, I will definitely let them die without a burial place!"

Du Ning was so angry that he was filled with murderous intent.

Countless generals were also excited and stood up to bow.

"Please give the prince an order to attack the Liao army!"

"The last general is willing to lead the charge and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

"The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the fallen heroes of the Yun Kingdom cannot be humiliated!"

"Please give the order, Your Majesty!"

Most of the soldiers came to the battlefield and wanted to lead their troops to attack the Liao army immediately, letting them know the price of humiliating the Yun Kingdom.

"Presumptuous!"
